Queen to screen 'Amateurs' at Christmas

The Queen has apparently selected A Bunch Of Amateurs as the Royal Family's Christmas film this year.

According to the Mail On Sunday, the monarch found the movie amusing when she watched it at the Royal Film Performance in November and wanted to share it with the rest of her family at Sandringham.

A source said: "Both the Queen and Prince Philip absolutely loved it. They thought it was hilarious."

The film, which stars Burt Reynolds, Imelda Staunton, Sir Derek Jacobi and Samantha Bond, centres on an amateur performance of King Lear.
