Steineded How sad is this?

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Chris Horry Not since Spitting Image have we had a show the pokes fun at the Royal Family and British Government with such sharp wit and excellent satire. It's about time. Yes, it's incredibly offensive and disrespectful, but that's the whole point. I'm a proud monarchist myself, but the whole thing is so completely ludicrous and over the top it's impossible to not laugh out loud.So nice to see Harry Enfield back at the top of his game, he's been sadly missed in comedic roles over the last couple of decades it seems (anyone remember Harry Enfield and Chums?). His larger than life portrayal of Prince Charles is nothing short of genius.Vicki Pepperdine as Princess Anne is another highlight, as is Kathryn Drysdale's re-imagining of Meghan Markle.

frmarcus-1 Scripts at best mediocre; actors who don't look like their characters; all too obvious to be more than mildly amusing. Give it a miss.

juliannetennyson Brilliantly trenchant comedic rendition of the very real foibles of the direly flawed Royal Family. This show provides a cutting critique of the Royal Family and does so with great panache. As the show repeatedly demonstrates, the sad truth is that the Royal Family are a group of (originally German and not British) parasites leaching off the tax-paying British public. The show displays clearly how the Royal Family have no use and have not done anything of service to Britain or the world in the last 100 years. The Royal Family are to cite the show 'over-privileged wankers' whose only main concern is that the British public: pay for their lavish lifestyle, acknowledge their supposed superiority (even though they are all completely braindead idiots) and, to again cite the series 'show loyalty to the crown'. The only member of the Royal Family who has ever worked a day in his life is Andrew, who is an International Arms Dealer, and the show portrays Andrew and his rapport with his ex-wife, Fergie brilliantly; she is desperate to get back in with the Royals but also strapped for cash and ready to sell her body for any sum. The rest of the Royal Family are depicted in the show exactly as they truly are: effete, vain, idiots who spend their days boozing, on expensive holidays or pursuing useless, insipid, stupid, expensive vanity projects or attempting to manipulate the press to prove their sham of grandeur. This show demonstrates that you do not need fiction when you have fact and that sometimes comedy can comprise a vital means to criticise outdated social institutions effectively. The show cleverly takes real events concerning the Royal Family and allows for their comedic consumption by the public, revealing how flawed each member of the Royal Family is and the show does so to great comedic value: like Harry being a boozy, profligate idiot, William being a well-meaning but ineffectual, bumbling idiot, or Prince Charles a vainglorious, weak-willed excuse of a man whose only dream is to be king. Although the British Royal Family are an absolute disgrace, a superannuated hangover of a time that is long past, and nothing for a Brit to be proud of, this show manages to tell the truth about every single useless member of it whilst rendering it hilarious. Finally the British Royal Family are useful for something: having a laugh at. I am impressed with the writers and producers of this show who dared to show what a shambolic mess of vain, spoiled, stupid people the Royal Family consist of.

agrippaalexander Truly hysterical, well written and beautifully acted. The writers have simply exaggerated what we already suspect: Camilla is a scheming bitch; Charles is a Dumb, Aristocratic Hippy; Pippa is a crazed Social Climber; William is Nice, Well-meaning but ineffectual; Harry is thick as a brick but a lovely person who needs mothering; Beatrice and Eugenie are desperate for cash but bad at EVERYTHING: Sarah Ferguson is desperate to get back in favour; Andrew is after £££ and Totty; Edward is utterly useless and will clean windows for cash! I'm a fervent Monarchist, but we Brits have a sense of humour -- especially about OURSELVES. The programme is great fun and totally harmless. I bet the younger Royals think it's great and the older Royals will never see it. I'm just disappointed there are only 12 episodes!!!
