THE CROWN
Portraying the early reign of Queen Elizabeth II , this brilliant series has had us hooked from the get go . The acting is exceptional with relative unknown , Claire Foy , ( who ’ s originally from Manchester and so deserves credit for her polished accent alone ) stepping into Elizabeth ’ s shoes and former Doctor Who , Matt Smith , playing a remarkably convincing Prince Philip . Love , honour , duty and betrayal – it ’ s got the lot .

Throughout this entire album , Kiwanuka ’ s folky , soulful style is , wonderfully , never predictable and instead flows between retro and modern affectations , soul searching as it goes .
