Almost seven years to the day since it began, we’re about to give a royal wave of farewell to Netflix drama The Crown, but series six might be its most eye-opening yet, as its first part (out on November 16) deals with the events surrounding the tragic death of Princess Diana.
Some critics’ hackles might be up already after the show previously attracted condemnation for historical inaccuracies, so it will be especially interesting to see how the show covers such an emotive and important event in royal history, and just where the story ends when the final episodes are released on 14th December.
Even so, many fans will be disappointed not to see more recent events get The Crown treatment, like that Prince Andrew interview and Harry and Meghan’s very public royal uncoupling, but is it so far beyond the realms of possibility that the show might have a...

ITV2 have finally answered our requests - original Celebrity Love Islander Paul Danan will be returning on tonight's live show.
The 36-year-old former Hollyoaks star appeared on the first ever celebrity edition of the series back in 2005, which saw him compete against eventual winners Jayne Middlemiss and Fran Cosgrave.
Danan returned to the show a year later, and spent the majority of his time tearfully fighting with or really fancying former model Sophie Anderton.
After one memorable blow-out, he was even escorted off set by security after he discovered that fellow celebrity contestants had all pretended that Anderton really liked him when in fact she just wanted to be friends. Or enemies.
And who can forget her somewhat dismissive observation: "You can do sit-ups?"
Danan also had some heated exchanges with retired basketball star Dennis Rodman and another former Hollyoaks actor, Lee Otway, during his time on the show.

After hearing the announcement that Calum Best would be returning to his spiritual home of Love Island - our immediate reaction was: 'But what about his accidental comedic sidekick Paul Danan?!'
And it seems that we're not alone.
Paul appears eager to head back to the villa to recapture the tears, terrible rapping and Sophie Anderton back-stabbing from the celebrity edition of the show.
Upon hearing the incredible news that Calum would be coming back to Love Island for a cameo, Paul Danan was immediately on to ITV2 via Twitter.

He had backup from fans yearning for the glory days of Calum, Fran and Dangerous Danan - arguably one of the defining reality shows of the mid-noughties.

This week's comedy news
Woody Allen has been talking to the New York Times about his desire to make a film with standup comic Louis Ck. The latter has a small role in Allen's forthcoming feature Blue Jasmine, but the part isn't "commensurate with his talent", says Allen. "[So] when I finished this picture, I went into my room and thought, what would be a fun picture? My first thought was: can I come up with something that I could do with Louis Ck? … Some day, I will get something that we could do together, because I do think it would be fun. I'm such a great fan of his."
