The first picture has emerged of Gillian Anderson playing Margaret Thatcher in the new series of The Crown on Netflix and it’s fair to say it got lots of people talking.

Here’s what Digital Spy had to say about it.

And it prompted a whole bunch of very funny comments which can be divided into two camps.

First there were comments like these.

"Looks eerily like"

I believe that is yes broadly the idea https://t.co/iFRUMY1Lgj

It’s amazing what they can do with make-up specifically designed to make you look like Margaret Thatcher. https://t.co/2Nbsn73OwK

To conclude …

Have just seen a lengthy twitter debate about people could still crank one out to Gillian Anderson whilst she plays Margaret Thatcher. Roughly even split between the No group (quitters) and the people who reckon they can power on through, will let you know more as it develops.

The fact that none of them have thus far used the phrase "I'd let her snatch my milk" is a damning indictment of our levels of political education.
