• In disappointing-but-not-suprising news, producers for the Netflix drama The Crown acknowledged (when asked point blank) that Matt Smith was paid more than Claire Foy due to his stint on Doctor Who.


• Producers insist that from this point on, no one will be paid more than the Queen.


• The series is one of the most expensive ever made.


• The next actress to play the Queen is Olivia Colman, with no news yet on who will play Prince Philip.
