Britain’s culture minister thinks the Netflix
TV series “The Crown” should come with a
disclaimer: It’s a work of fiction.
Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden weighed in
amid criticism of the historical liberties taken by
the drama about the British royal family.
“It’s a beautifully produced work of fiction. So
as with other TV productions, Netflix should
be very clear at the beginning it is just that,”
Dowden told the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
“Without this, I fear a generation of viewers who
did not live through these events may mistake
fiction for fact.”
