Britain's culture secretary demands Netflix label The Crown as "fiction"

The Daily Mail

"It's a beautifully produced work of fiction, so as with other TV productions, Netflix should be very clear at the beginning it is just that," UK culture secretary Oliver Dowden said in an interview with The Daily Mail on Sunday. "Without this, I fear a generation of viewers who did not live through these events may mistake fiction for fact." Dowden says he plans to make his request formal via a written letter.
