The Crown returned in
November 2019, with a huge host of well-known faces, including those from a certain
sci fi series. So much so, that it would take an enormous length of time,
filling in the already completed first and second series post from last year.
So, we just had to put together a new one. And quite rightly so, given the
length of cast and indeed crew list.
The new series was
directed by Benjamin Caron, Samuel Donovan, Jessica Hobbs and Christian
Schwochow, and written by Peter Morgan, Edward Hemming, Jon Brittain, Jonathan
Wilson, James Graham and David Hancock.
Stepping down from their
roles as the young Queen and Prince, Claire Foy and Matt Smith were replaced by
Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies who carried off their role with aplomb.
Although at times, I felt that Menzies certain quirks could better suit Prince
Charles, in later life than perhaps Prince Philip.
Josh O'Connor, however,
played a really good Prince Charles, having his mannerisms and those lip curls
down to a tee. I really enjoyed watching his performance in the episode Tywysog
Cymru, and indeed hearing the Welsh language with Mark Lewis Jones and all
Welsh speakers. It was like watching an episode of Un Bore Mercher again!
