For many of us, Christmas isn’t Christmas until we’ve settled in to see Bill Nighy, Martine McCutcheon, Keira Knightley and Colin Firth at our annual screening of Love Actually.

Although the festive film has become a firm fan favorite over the years, the team behind the film said that there would be a major shake-up in the cast if the film were to hit theaters today.

“The first thing I would do is cast a female prime minister,” casting director Fiona Weir told Metro.

“I think if we were doing it today, Richard (Curtis, the film’s director and screenwriter) would write it very differently. Twenty years later it is a different country, a different world, a lot has changed.

“So I think it will be a completely different script, you can’t really translate the actors in it. But the only thing I can say is that we would definitely have a female prime minister.”

Fiona even has someone in mind for the role, Bridgerton’s Adjoa Andoh, who she thinks is “wonderful.”

Writer-director Richard Curtis has previously expressed some of his regrets about the Christmas romantic comedy, including comments in the script about the weight of Martine’s character and a general lack of diversity.

“I think I was inattentive and not as smart as I should have been” he said.

Richard also noticed: “There are things you would change (about the film), but thank God society is changing.

“My film inevitably feels dated in some moments. The lack of diversity makes me uncomfortable and a bit stupid.”

And now Fiona has echoed those sentiments.

“Of course there are some things in there that I would rather not have,” she told Metro. “There’s a particular comment about Martine McCutcheon’s physicality that Richard himself would say he wished wasn’t in there.

“It was something he thought was humorous at the time, but now he realizes it’s not appropriate. I think that’s obviously the case.”

Fiona continued: “But what’s compelling is the completely authentic emotion in it. As they say: Love is everywhere, you don’t always see it. All the characters are wonderful actors.

“Nothing is sent up, it is not cynical in any way. It is joyful and celebratory. I think that’s why it endures, because it’s done without any of the cynicism that Richard is. Richard is completely devoid of cynicism.”

“Love Actually” is available to stream now.
