Next Sunday night Seven has slated the excellent Stephen Frears film, The Queen.
It is set to air following Dancing with the Stars finale at 9pm.
While it’s based on fictional conversations between the Royal Family around the time of Princess Diana’s death, it’s certainly a fascinating hypothetical. It depicts a fictional account of the events following her death in 1997, coming 3 months after the coming to power of Tony Blair’s New Labour government.
Helen Mirren won an Academy Award for this role, plus a BAFTA and a Screen Actors Guild award. Michael Sheen is also terrific as Tony Blair.
It airs September 6th.
Good I haven’t seen it and I have wanted to. Should be ggod after watching dancing with the stars. Sorry Rove I’ll have to record you.
Excellent Movie and Helen Mirren is fantastic as the Queen.
Can’t help but wonder if it will be spoiled by too many Ad’s……..??
For those who think DWTS will not finish at Nine…
Get thee to Video Ezy!
Funny that this is on cause Young Victoria is also on SBS on the weekend. It is a awesome movie David you should watch it and review it, if you havent seen it, It is fantastic, I recomend it too all that like period/historic/romantic movies it a must watch!!

For those who don’t have the DVD y’all should all watch it as it’s a top film – Mirren’s Academy award well-deserved indeed. Although following the DWTS finale it may be difficult to predict the start time!
Fantastic!!! One of my all time favourites!! I certainly shall be watching it!!!
(either that, or just put on my DVD copy haha)
nonetheless, I feel Channel 7 has done an excellent job this week, what with the anniversary of Diana’s tragic death, and the airing of “Diana: Last Days of a Princess”. If you haven’t seen it, it is certainly worth a look, and definitely needs to be followed by “The Queen”, as it picks up where Last Days left off.
i love bones but i’m glad it’s getting a rest, it’s been on every week in some form for soo long.
Better add at least an hour to the PVR for this one. DWTS will not finish at 9pm
Get the Blu-ray. You can be sure 7 will muck it up in every way possible.
