So...Dame Judi lost her husband during Covid, now daughter thinks she can't cope on her own so spiritedly strikes out of the Home Counties for London to see the Queen to prove she can still be strong and independent.
Meets Bill Nighy on the train, a cycnial anti-royal leftie (former university lecture, y'know, that lot) who Judi commandeers to help her on her journey and whose heart melts at the Great British Britishness of it all.
Jim Broadbent is the Royal historian there to coldly document the facts but who finds himself swept along with the jovial solemnity.
Cecila Imire and Timothy Spall are a couple who met as punks in the white hot rebellion of the Silver Jubilee (pop in a bit of God Save the Queen here, ooh, bit cheeky), now bored in semi in Berkshire, they find themselves again on their adventure to honour Her Majesty.
Himesh Patel is Judi's daughter's husband, sent after her to bring the old gal home from the big city but, moved by her determination to make it to the coffin, pulls some wacky scheme to distract the plod so she can finally get in the hall.
Lots of Blitz spirit, poignant memories, tremendous senses of humour, culminating with everyone in Westminster Hall including guards, MPs and Beefeaters, led by street busker character Ed Sheeran, spontaneously breaking into All You Need Is Love.
Practically writes itself.

Black Zarak has like a beigey gold colour - to his face at least. Or, if you take Zarak to be the humanoid master of the head, ISTR he had more of a pale green complexion.
