Helena Bonham Carter appeared in two seasons of The Crown and as the Netflix drama approaches current times, the actor feels that the series shouldn’t continue. Carter played the “spare” Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, and was recently asked to comment on Prince Harry ’s book. “I don’t really want to contribute to the whole thing. It’s complicated and it’ll get taken out of context. And I think it’s been given enough attention,” Carter told The Guardian about Harry’s book titled “Spare.” Although Carter participated in The Crown , she doesn’t think the series should go forward saying, “I should be careful here too, but I don’t think they should carry on, actually. I’m in it and I loved my episodes, but it’s very different now. When The Crown started it was a historic drama, and now it’s crashed into the present. But that’s up to them.” The sixth season of The Crow n will take on Princess Diana’s death and is reportedly set to be the series last … [Read more...] about Helena Bonham Carter Doesn’t Think ‘The Crown’ Should “Carry On” As Netflix Series Approaches Current Times

Britain’s age of peak TV may be over, or at the very least plateauing, today’s BFI stats suggest . Following a year in which many major productions including Bridgerton , Lord of the Rings and Apple TV+’s Slow Horses rolled the cameras, spend on high-end TV nonetheless fell by 4% on last year’s record figure to £4.3B ($5.3B). Both inward investment – shows commissioned by non-UK players – and domestic UK spend fell by a similar amount, with the former accounting for 84% of the total figure. Although the drop is small, the news is a surprise to a booming industry that had seen a mega 155% rise in 2021 and now accounts for a far bigger slice of the TV/film pie. The slight dip contrasted with a strong year for film, which saw spend grow by an impressive 27%, although local indie film continues to flounder. In 2020, high-end TV spend dipped dramatically due to the Covid-19 pandemic but in the years prior, it had been rising steadily each year, as the U.S. … [Read more...] about Latest BFI Stats Suggest Britain’s Age Of Peak TV May Be Over
