Definitely one I won't be watching. I'm not really the remotely interested in the Monarchy and give anything related to them a very wide berth. Does that qualify as treasonous

   Yet you said you would be watching The Queen??. Anyway the one I watched was written by David Walliams and was funny because it made a mockery of the Monarchy. I don't think Walliams will be getting a knighthood anytime soon

ps @jonsie 

Just reread your post and see now you meant you WOULDN'T be watching the Queen. Lost in translation....🤣🤣👀

This is the one where Tom Cruise (famed for doing most of his own stunts) broke his ankle when he jumped from one roof to another. He was on Graham Norton with Simon Pegg just after the film was released and Simon told the tale of how Tom jumped and carried on running with this broken ankle.  They had to film round this for a couple of weeks...until he insisted on returning to the set.

I’d forgotten all about it till I saw the jump & limp off from the edge.. impressive stuff

[jonsie]

They decided to leave the scene in for authenticity and yes, impressive indeed. I saw the Graham Norton show where he told the story.
