Nick Hornby has defended 'The Crown' for having to "guess at" certain scenes.
The scriptwriter has opened up about his planned Rolling Stones drama - which is being made by the producers of the Netflix royal drama - and he knows some viewers will be ready to criticize the series over inaccuracies.
He told the Daily Mail newspaper's Sebastian Shakespeare column: "I'm writing a 16-part drama series about The Rolling Stones from 1963 to 1974.
"I think both with 'The Crown' and with this, you have to have dramatic scenes involving dialogue which you can only guess at. That’s all ['The Crown' creator] Peter Morgan could do.
