Speaking about the trailer, GB News presenter Bev Turner said: “That gives me goosebumps.

The Netflix drama has come under scrutiny, with question marks raised over how realistic its depictions are.
Speaking on the matter was royal author Katie Nicholl, who urged the streaming giant to add a disclaimer.
She told GB News that viewers will begin the sixth season “believing it to be a very accurate depiction of what happens”.
Royal reporter Charles Rae harbours similar concerns, telling Bev Turner and Andrew Pierce he is “furious” at a particular moment in the series.
Season six of The Crown depicts Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed's final weeks togetherNetflix“I’ve seen the first part where she comes out to a boat, a boat I was on, and I’m annoyed that I’m not being portrayed by Robert Redford or Brad Pitt”, he said.
“They have distorted that event out of all context. I mean, she comes across like some brassiere model and says ‘hello boys’, that didn’t happen.”
He continued: "There there was a very serious discussion because when she came to see us she was very angry, not at us, but she'd had a phone call minutes beforehand, and that's the place where she said at the end you will be surprised with the very next thing I do. But the rest of it in my view is rubbish.
"The problem with the Crown is, it's real life issues. And it then distorts them with tasteless distortions and errors and they masquerade it as quality drama."
GB News Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker said the new series will be “the most uncomfortable” for the Royal Family as a difficult stage in their history will once again be brought to the forefront.
Cameron said: "It's certainly going to be the most uncomfortable series so far for the royal family. But we do have to remember that The Crown is an amazing drama, but it is very much fiction based on facts.
"We do not know what was said behind the closed doors. We know from the inquest into the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed that the reason for the crash was the fact that the car was driving erratically, they were being chased by paparazzi, the driver was drunk, they weren't wearing seat belts, all of that.
"How much are they going to go into, in The Crown? We don't know.
"And I think that perhaps is also a danger that that viewers, maybe not so much in the UK, who have obviously grown up with the royal family, but the international audience, are going to take what's said in the Crown as facts, and then that's going to distort their opinions of actual members of the royal family who are still very much alive."
