We're pretty excited about new Netflix series The Crown and, after getting an eyeful of this trailer, we reckon you will be too.

Starring Matt Smith as Winston Churchill, Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth, and from the writers behind Frost/Nixon, Billy Elliot and The Hours (you know, the one where Nicole Kidman had a false nose), The Crown is set in a pre-war Britain and follows the burgeoning relationship between Prime Minister Winston and the new monarch.

It looks brilliant, too. Which helps.
