Yes, it's ALL about attracting an audience and I guess that whomever decided to pay the terribly MISCAST, lousy actor, Matt Smith, more, was hoping that those who watched him as Doctor Who ( he stunk to high heaven in that role too! ), would follow him and watch THE CROWN, just for him.

HOW STUPIDLY WRONG THEY WERE ABOUT THAT!

I went out of my way to NOT watch THE CROWN, because I had read that he was going to be Prince Phillip. OH YUCK!

And oh uneducated one, slick, when it comes to anything at all about the theatre and movies...do NOT ever take miss marmelstein on; she's an expert and an authority beyond compare!

Thanks, NP.

I had forgotten you didn’t watch the series because of Smith. I don’t blame you. As another poster pointed out, Lithgow was excellent so there is that saving grace along with Foy. As an admirer of Snowdon, keep away! Insulting portrait of a great artist.

I suppose Damien Lewis is too big a star to play a supporting role as the consort to Elizabeth. Too bad. He’s a wonderful actor and is a devastating King Henry.
