Storyline

- TriviaQueen Elizabeth II had blue eyes, like her first portrayer Claire Foy. After Olivia Colman was cast as Elizabeth she was tested with blue contact lenses over her brown eyes, but it was decided they negatively affected her performance. Changing her eye color in postproduction was also tested, but according to the producers "it didn't feel like her. CGI-ing her eyes seemed to diminish what she was doing." Eventually it was decided to accept the continuity error.
- GoofsThroughout the series, various vehicles are seen to enter Buckingham Palace from the Mall entrance, where it can be seen that the road outside and inner courtyard are covered by black tarmac.
However, since the 1950's at least, the surface of the Mall and courtyard have actually been coloured red, using a synthetic iron oxide pigment.
Featured review
I have to be honest. I had refused to watch this show from the moment it was released. Being no fan of monarchies in general, or of the House of Windsor in particular, I wrongly failed to see the potential.
But history always is interesting, especially when left in the hands of able writers and an absolutely spectacular cast. To a person, word for spoken word, I was drawn into this series headlong and found myself taken by this expertly crafted story.
I love that the flaws and tensions that existed are exposed and leveraged. And I find myself reaching for the shelf and pulling out a book or two to refamiliarize myself with some event.
In short it won me over and taught me a lesson or two in the process. What more can one ask?
