Hi everyone.

It’s a momentous day in television history with the last six episodes of the sixth and final season of The Crown landing on Netflix. But what did you make of the first four? And what did you think of Imelda Staunton's return as the Queen?

My fellow club writer Emily Nash had mixed feelings about part one – you can listen to that here in case you missed it.

I asked our Digital TV and Film Editor at HELLO!, Emmy Griffiths, to give her verdict on who she thought has best portrayed Her Late Majesty since season one. In the running, alongside Imelda, are Claire Foy and Olivia Colman.

Find out what she had to say below… do you agree? Let us know in the comments!

By the way, Emmy also spoke to the show’s hair and makeup talent, who divulged all about what it takes to re-create the stars’ looks.

And before you have a listen, did you manage to take our Crown quiz?
