ITV's documentary about the Queen has a revelation or two about Her Majesty, including the cushion she has in her private sitting room at Balmoral embroidered with the words "It's good to be Queen". No doubt. Director Michael Waldman also detected a fondness on behalf of Her Maj to dispense with traditional greetings or farewells. "After months of filming her encounters during an eventful Jubilee year, I noticed that she has another trick: she never says 'hello' or 'goodbye', which must save thousands of words a day," wrote Waldman in the latest edition of Radio Times. The documentary, called Our Queen, will be broadcast on ITV, now overseen by Peter Fincham who famously resigned from the BBC over that unfortunate "Crowngate" business. The doc, which will air on 17 March, presumably features no photoshoots – or people walking in and definitely not storming out.
