Claire Foy's acting is crazy. She literally becomes a different person. Almost unrecognisable. She's gonna be one of the greats.

[@shellingford9983]

She is one of the greats

[@Wackaz]

I want Paul Bettany to play the next James Bond villain, I bet he would do an absolutely phenomenal job. As for Claire Foy, make her a Bond girl. Both actors just fit those roles immensely perfectly.

I was just overwhelmed by Bettany’s acting. They were both so great.

[@FiveRiversCity]

These two are bloody awesome as the Duke and Duchess. I think Claire Foy is right, I also believe they truly loved each other but just couldn't get past themselves.

[@julianhermanubis6800]

Paul Bettany has great range as an actor when he has the opportunity to show it and this is more proof. He's done a great job with his Marvel movie and television work, by taking a mostly ignored B-level comic book character and making him one of the most interesting figures in the entire Avengers cast, but Bettany has a lot of other great roles that he's done and that are definitely worth checking out, e.g., as Ted Kaczynski, a.k.a. "the Unabomber" in "Manhunt."

Cant wait to see the magic these two fine actors bring to this story. Foy seems to bring out the quirky humour in others with that the warmth and comfort she provides. Lovely human.

[@maciejbachorski953]

"Foy seems to bring out the quirky humour in others with that the warmth and comfort she provides. Lovely human." - yeah, 100% true, you can see this in almost every interview with her and her fellow cast members. Down to earth in the best possible way.

Claire Foy is the best news to come from Britain in the last decade. She is one of a caliber.

[@lbe]

Paul Bettany is a brilliant actor in everything he has been in!

[@simonfranc9422]

It’s funny when he impersonated Claire an said that he’s know for The Crown, because he was supposed to play Philip

[@pechaa]

He would’ve been an excellent Philip

[@simonfranc9422]

@@pechaa no doubt! But Tobias Menzies did a wonderful job, he captured the middle aged Philip brilliantly, whereas I’d see Paul Bettany more as the younger version

[@Hulalulatallulahoop2]

Watched the first episode last night and wow....the acting from both parties is so good! And a thrilling storyline! I'm loving seeing Julia Davis (from Gavin and Stacey) in the drama...love her!

[@LaValeriana_]

They are both truly terrific in this! Claire Foy is just so good! And Bettany's acting is truly terrifying. They truly delivered the goods in this. You can't help but side with Margaret despite her own wrongful doings, because Campbell is just utterly, utterly despicable.

[@arleygonzalez8784]

Can't wait

[@orion8835]

Many of us know the story. It was the kind of story that a film never really could capture as it was by all accounts confusing bizarre and unfair. This film seems to focus on the courtship marriage and the subsequent invasion of privacy that happened. And likely touches on the aftermath? We shall see.

Quality television, but ultimately a sad story with no winners. I preferred ‘the BBC’s A Very English Scandal’ - the characters were more likeable. Neither the Duke or Duchess of Argyll came across as particularly nice people and perhaps got what they deserved.

A Very English Scandal was brilliant dark comedy. Hugh Grant and Ben Wishaw were brilliant. Was hoping both would still be in the sequel.
