Summary
Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. With the second part of The Crown's final season upon us, Sarah has to unpack the first. So she sits down with her pal, writer Tom Smyth, to deep dive Peter Morgan's origin story (The Queen), the difference in connection/observation on The Queen vs The Crown, the decision to use Diana/Dodi ghosts for storytelling (and the cost of attempting to bring creative closure), and the audience's own unique 'ownership' over how the Firm is portrayed.
