The First Televised Christmas Broadcast, 1957

I very much hope that this new medium will make my Christmas message more personal and direct. It is inevitable that I should seem a rather remote figure to many of you, a successor to the kings and queens of history, someone whose face may be familiar in newspapers and films but who never really touches your personal lives. But now, at least for a few minutes, I welcome you into the peace of my own home. That it is possible for some of you to see me today is just another example of the speed at which things are changing all around us. I would like to read a few lines from Pilgrim’s Progress. “And though, with great difficulty, I am got hither, yet now I do repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me to be a witness for me that I have fought his battles who now will be my rewarder.”

Consider this: Gwendoline Christie playing the romantic lead in a Jane Austen adaptation, or indeed any period piece. Nothing else changes. Nobody draws attention to the fact she’s a woman. It’s just two solid hours of Gwendoline Christie on a horse and wearing a suit and sweeping maidens off their feet

THIS IS THE ONLY JANE AUSTEN ADAPTATION I’VE EVER WANTED

Vladislav: Which one? The red one?
Viago: Well it’s red now, yeah.
