Just watched the first two eps, and I thought Anderson's Thatcher was awful. By far the worst thing about what is otherwise very good indeed. 

It was a hammy comedy version, I never believed in the character for one moment - all I could see was the acting, a parody Thatcher. All the royals are great though. 

I agree. To be fair she has the voice down so well that if you close your eyes it sounds like a Spitting Image doll. But the mannerisms and the writing is just dreadful. Also why are writers trying to make us like the witch?

I've enjoyed some of the Crown - especially the parts I didn't live through - Churchill and the fog for example. But this series I lived through and so I know how it actually was. I'm fairly certain there's going to be a ton of revisionist BS toward Thatcher and Diana and it's going to irritate the shit out of me. 

I think the writers know this is what everyone wants to see and will try and please the Daily Mail flag waving readers as much as possible while also creating controversy. The world doesn't need anymore anger FFS - just keep making Ted Lasso!! 

Rant over.

I like the premise, actually. Even though it's absurd. I haven't seen any of it but I just read several reviews on iMDB and people love it. 

I highly recommend it as a great antidote to the real world we currently live in

Just the title was enough to make me uncontrollably vomit everywhere.

 

Eric Dier 

Filthy ball by DeBruyne 

I like Kane but I don’t think he’s linked up that well with others tonight

My lord Walker is appalling 

Wtf was that from Walker?

Jack is starting to play like he does for us.

Watch the muppet sub him off.

Kane in Jack’s way 

We’re pressing much better this half

The PL should get this ref - he’d fit in really well

did Winks just chip it round the corner for a throw in to lose 30 yards?

It’s all part of a cunning plan.

Need Mount to drop back in to the middle and Jack off Kane

Eric Doer once again passes straight to a Belgium player 

Jack getting pissed off and starting to roam now.

Jack would have been in 4 times so far if Kane put in a better ball. 

Yeah, if Jack had played that ball through for Kane it would have been a goal

Go to 433

This isn’t working 

Eric Dier 

Splendid free kick

Why don’t they just give ball to Jack whenever they have it? At least something would happen.

Kane should have passed that first time to Jack

For fans of the 90 day fiancé reality star Darcey Silva she now has her own standalone series that also features her twin Stacey called. Darcey and Stacey. The series follows the ups and downs of the girls as they try to find happiness in love so expect plenty of tears, high fashion, drama and sassy twin tuition in this 10 part blockbuster. Only one episode in so far but it is all you would expect it to be and more and sets up the next show that covers Tom’s secret meeting with Stacey, Tom as you may or may not know is Darcey’s former beau from 90 day fiancé who turned out to be somewhat of a cad propositioning other cast members and also suggesting Darcey had put on weight when they met in New York to try and patch things up. The show is not on its usual TLC channel, it can be found on discovery plus were all 10 episodes can be downloaded at once. Well worth a watch

I think you've mistaken this for mumsnet.

My Dad texted me today saying he felt rotten. Hopefully just a cold and nothing else. I do worry as he has COPD. 

My Mom will keep me updated. 

Hope he's ok Alex

You could say that about any disorder I suppose.
