Tommy Lascelles

This is the first I've seen Pip Torrens, apart from Versailles where he certainly looks very different, and I really enjoy his work. He's great as Lascelles. Unctuous and condescending at the same time.

Agreed. I first noticed him in Remains of the Day and have followed him closely ever since. He's a great character man and in The Crown he's allowed to shine. Just finished the series and I think particularly first class work from Pip Torrens, Alex Jennings, Victoria Hamilton, Jared Harris & Vanessa Kirby.

The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.

He’s fantastic! He’s the Maggie Smith of the show. Even gets in those zinger deadpan one liners. I liked him in Poldark too even though he had a tiny role. Still recognized him right away from that in this, so he makes huge impression.

Great actor, with huge charisma. People like Torrens should get more opportunities, but instead we get Hanks and DiCaprio over, and over, and over, and over until I'm sick of the sight of them.
