damn.. right, he probably won't

I know Churchill wasn't PM anymore but for some reason I thought he'd still be around

the movie looks fun

Well Churchill dies in the period they are entering now so I am hoping he'll do a surprise visit.. Though I am not holding my hopes high very much

Yeah it looks like fun to me as well! I love Christmas movies

JoJoF92 · 11-03-2017, 04:07 PM

I see

well, the final scene we've seen him in was pretty memorable so maybe it was meant to serve as a goodbye

heartღaflutter · 11-06-2017, 12:41 PM

I'd love a surprise visit though

JoJoF92 · 11-06-2017, 04:19 PM

those are always welcome

He's doing some promo for that upcoming film!

He also talked about Olivia Coleman (the upcoming Queen in S3)

the vid is inside this link

Quote:

“She’s one of my favourite actresses,” Lithgow told RTÉ Entertainment at the Irish premiere of Daddy’s Home 2.

“I was so excited… Actually, I heard about it in the spring, but I don’t think it was signed, sealed, delivered. It took a terrific actress to replace Claire [Foy], to play Claire a little older, and Olivia, she could do anything. She’s so funny in comedies and so real in dramas - I think she’ll be just wonderful,” he said.

thanks for the videos

I liked that he talked a bit about how he'd approached Churchill's accent too

it's great that he approves of Olivia taking over the Queen's role

heartღaflutter · 11-19-2017, 11:07 AM

I love his approach of Churchill's accent

JoJoF92 · 11-19-2017, 03:49 PM

yeah, and that Brando was an inspiration for it

heartღaflutter · 11-20-2017, 03:51 AM

He's such a great guy! I will miss him on the show!

JoJoF92 · 11-20-2017, 04:43 PM

me too

and everyone else too..

heartღaflutter · 11-21-2017, 07:17 AM

yeah but he was such a big part of S1, it will be weird without him. I already thought it was weird to see another PM in ep 10 last season

JoJoF92 · 11-21-2017, 03:42 PM

that's true. such an iconic character and actor too. he's shown in the new trailer, though, so I think we'll see him again

heartღaflutter · 11-21-2017, 04:47 PM

yeah I noticed that, wasn't sure if it was new or a scene from s1. You think it's new?

JoJoF92 · 11-22-2017, 01:30 PM

I assumed they wouldn't wanna put anything old in it so I'm hopeful
