The Crown season six teased in Netflix trailer<\/h3>\n

The first four episodes of The Crown\u2019s highly anticipated series six drop today, with a touching title card honouring one of the show\u2019s most pivotal crew members, Victoria Stable.<\/p>\n

In May this year, the archive producer tragically died after leaving a sensational mark on the film industry with her work and research for a number of hit shows and documentaries, from Spitting Image to Netflix projects including The Crown.<\/p>\n

Archive association Focus International shared a tender obituary for the archivist saying she was \u201cparticularly passionate\u201d about her role on The Crown.<\/p>\n

One of her colleagues on the show, Folu Merriman-Johnson, shared his own memories of Victoria from set, saying: \u201cWithout her expert archive knowledge and her ability to find and provide the footage, the series would not have been the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only was she professionally excellent, she was an absolute pleasure to engage with; for both she will be sorely missed.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Crown podcast in November last year, Victoria explained that she was the driving force behind the now iconic Beavis and Butt-Head cameo in series five.<\/p>\n

In episode eight, titled Gunpowder, a young Prince William helps his grandmother navigate her new satellite TV, switching through channels in chaos when the notoriously raunchy show makes an appearance.<\/p>\n

Victoria admitted it was a \u201cterrifying\u201d scene to confront but that she was \u201cmost pleased\u201d with the outcome.<\/p>\n

She recalled the behind-the-scenes hoops she had to jump through for the blink-and-you-miss-it moment: \u201cI obviously had to go to Mike Judge, who\u2019s the creator and animator of Beavis and Butt-Head, and he also does the voices.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had to understand that obviously Queen Elizabeth wasn\u2019t going to be into Beavis and Butt-Head and would be fairly shocked and think it was pretty revolting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luckily, Mike saw the humour in the moment and agreed, but Victoria also revealed he wasn\u2019t the only person she had approached for the cameo: \u201cWhereas there were other companies that… you know, I went to them because I wanted trashy, vulgar television. But you can\u2019t ask for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also gushed over actor Khalid Abdalla (Dodi Fayed) who teamed up with her to find one of the only archive clips that recorded the historical figure actually speaking.<\/p>\n

Victoria added: \u201cKhalid sent me a random photograph he\u2019d found online and you could see a news camera.<\/p>\n
