00:00There is a photograph that sits on my desk taken long ago.
00:25It captures my family like flies in amber, just before we all set out into the world.
00:34Surely within the decade, we'd all have married well and be quietly breeding the next generation
00:39of British aristocrats.
00:43Unfortunately, it didn't quite turn out like that.
00:55Instead, within a few short years, we would all have gone entirely off the rails.
01:11How did it happen?
01:12Well, it's a long story.
01:15But this was the day that I first noticed something was amiss.
01:22Although I was the eldest, you can't blame me for the rot setting in.
01:26Lord, no.
01:30It was definitely my sister Diana who started the ball rolling.
01:34She was the beauty of the family, but she also had a will of iron.
01:42My brother Tom was the only boy, and as such, the heir to the entire family fortune.
01:48So unfair.
01:51Pamela was the quiet one, but beware, still waters run deep.
02:03And the youngest three, don't be fooled by their girlish antics.
02:21One of my sisters would become the most hated woman in Britain, but I'm getting ahead of
02:30myself.
02:37With the sheer joy of this delightful house with its garden, swimming pool, and 300 acres
02:49of barbed land, radiant Mrs. Diana Guinness has decorated the interior in a simple, youthful
02:56way.
02:57Oh, stop.
02:58Don't read that.
02:59No.
03:00Quiet.
03:01Simple youth.
03:02Her husband, Brian Guinness, is the dashing heir to the Guinness Fortunes.
03:06Wow.
03:07Very dashing.
03:08And they already have two beautiful baby boys.
03:11Surely this is quite the perfect marriage.
03:13Hmm.
03:14Oh.
03:15Stop it.
03:16I brought this rag.
03:17Joss found it on the train.
03:18It's wonderful.
03:19Thanks, friend.
03:20Oh, oh, this is good.
03:21Diana's sister, the Honorable Pamela Mitford, is understood to be running the farm for the
03:26young couple.
03:27Fancy, a female farmer.
03:29Oh!
03:30How do they get hold of all this?
03:33I mean, who on earth tells them?
03:35How do they pay for it?
03:36This kind of stuff shifts copies by the lorry load.
03:38Joss is always hard up.
03:39It's probably him.
03:40Oh, that's right.
03:41Blame the poor boy.
03:42Take it away.
03:43But her younger sister, Unity, will be one of next year's debutants.
03:47If she wants to be more ladylike...
03:50Bobo, we should throw a coming out party for you next season.
03:54Really?
03:55Yes, good idea.
03:56Here or in the London house?
03:57In London, of course.
03:58Yeah.
03:59Yes?
04:00We'll do it.
04:01Listen to this.
04:02Her elder sister, Nancy...
04:03Ah, finally.
04:04Published the most entertaining novel, Highland Fling, earlier this year.
04:12Fancy, a female hag.
04:13Quiet, you.
04:14Which was dedicated to Mr. Hamish Haskett.
04:19To whom it is understood she's unofficially engaged.
04:24What?
04:25No, no, no.
04:26No, it's nonsense.
04:27Engage?
04:28Nonsense.
04:29Quite enough of that.
04:37I promised Mav I'd have the piglets back by six, so we need to be setting off.
04:46No, no, no. Don't bother coming down.
04:47No, I'd like to say goodbye.
04:48Give me a second.
04:49Hans?
04:50Mm?
04:51It's all well with you and Hamish.
04:52Fine.
04:53Fine.
04:54Fine.
04:55He's still young.
04:56Barely out of Oxford.
04:57Not everyone wants to settle down and marry the minute they're old enough.
05:01Sorry, I didn't mean...
05:02I just meant...
05:03No.
05:04No.
05:05No.
05:06No.
05:07No.
05:08No.
05:09No.
05:10No.
05:11No.
05:12No.
05:13No.
05:14No.
05:15No.
05:16No.
05:17No.
05:18No.
05:19No.
05:20No.
05:21No.
05:22No.
05:23No.
05:24No, you're right, actually.
05:26The thing is, unlike your Brian, Hamish actually has to earn a living.
05:32And until he gets a job, we can't afford a place of our own, so...
05:35Anyway, I've given him six months.
05:38Good.
05:39Good for you.
05:41Having a job, a purpose in this world is so important for a man.
05:49Brian's just had everything handed to him on a plate.
05:52A man without a purpose is...
05:56What?
05:57Boring?
05:58Surely not.
05:59No, no.
06:00It's just...
06:01Content, I suppose.
06:04Yes, that's it.
06:06Brian's perfectly content with everything.
06:12Anyway, let's round up the girls and get them back to the fortress.
06:16And there it was.
06:18My first inkling that things might be about to unravel.
06:21The estate we all grew up on sat in a glorious corner of Oxfordshire that had been in our family for hundreds of years.
06:38And for all that time, life had carried on here in much the same way.
06:44But now, times were changing.
06:50Today we address a subject that is fast becoming a matter of debate across the countryside.
06:56My father had lost a fortune in the crash and consequently we, like the rest of the country, were facing a time of, well, economic uncertainty.
07:06No.
07:07No.
07:08Shh.
07:12Denmark has embraced indoor pig fattening with remarkable success.
07:18And Danish pork is now arriving on British shores in greater quantities.
07:23And in prices that are hard to match.
07:33This is the BBC.
07:35And now, the news headlines.
07:37The latest figures from the Ministry of Labour show an increase in unemployment of almost a quarter of a million people in the last five weeks alone.
07:49Good God.
07:50The new thing is about the American government that is farming locally.
07:51It is about a ten billion dollar market.
07:52You are so fortunate.
07:53New.
07:54New.
07:55New.
07:56New.
07:57New.
07:58New.
07:59New.
08:00New.

08:13New.
08:15New.
08:16New.
08:18New.
08:19New.
08:20Sweetheart, darling?
08:28You're getting very good at that.
08:34Where's Nancy?
08:38Come on.
08:50Nancy, in six seconds, you'll be late.
09:05Two, three, four.
09:09Good morning, Fav.
09:14Good morning.
09:15Good morning.
09:16Good morning, all.
09:20Toast Fav.
09:22Thank you, Debra.
09:25Mav, I...
09:26Oh, Unity, Elbows.
09:27Mav, Elbows.
09:28And sit up.
09:29All of you, sit up.
09:30Mav, Mav, I found a girl's grammar school in Oakdale not far from here.
09:34Not again.
09:35It was a day school, not a boarding school, so I could come home every afternoon.
09:38Darling, we've already been through this.
09:40But can we just at least go and visit?
09:42Girls don't need school.
09:44We tried it once with Unity and she was expelled after a month.
09:48Utter disaster.
09:49It was horrible.
09:51Uncontrollable temperament, wasn't it, Bobo?
09:53No, darling, she wasn't expelled.
09:55We were just invited to remove her.
09:57My kipper, please.
09:58Anyway, you've got a perfectly good governess.
09:59But I want to go to university.
10:01And to do that, you have to pass exams.
10:03And how can I pass exams with a stupid governess?
10:06That's a very rude thing to say about a person.
10:09Anyway, you went to school, you'd probably hate it.
10:12I would hate it.
10:13I would hate it.
10:14All the boys loathe it.
10:15All that hockey.
10:16No animals.
10:17Yes.
10:19But I really want to go.
10:20School is for boys.
10:22Understood.
10:23Moving on.
10:24There are to be some economies made in this household.
10:36Starting today.
10:37Firstly, the central heating boiler will be switched off forthwith.
10:43But it's freezing.
10:44It's spring, Nancy.
10:47If you're cold, what do you do, Debo?
10:49Put on another layer.
10:50Exactly.
10:51Secondly, hot baths will now be taken every two days.
10:57Yes.
10:58Yes.
10:59For the coming London season.
11:02Our Mayfair house will be let out to tenants.
11:05Really?
11:06Hmm?
11:07But it's...
11:08But it's unity's coming out here, isn't it?
11:12Hmm?
11:13Which means we'll have a number of events to organize in London, won't we?
11:19Darling.
11:21Hmm?
11:22Well, we can stay in the flat above the garages.
11:28I'm sure we could all fit in there and be tremendous fun.
11:32Ow!
11:33It's rather damp there, isn't it?
11:36Lastly, all females over the age of 18 will have their allowances cut by half.
11:43I suppose I've got my wages from the farm.
11:45Mm-hmm.
11:46And how am I supposed to live?
11:47You can desist from buying your fancy clothes and your lipsticks and stop going to those abominable nightclubs.
11:54There are a number of...
11:55Yes, that is my final word.
11:57Jesus Christ almighty!
12:10Righty!
12:11Arise, ye victims of oppression.
12:16Arise, ye buckles of peace.
12:22Come on, make them die.
12:32Prepare to die, rebel!
12:35Arise, ye b...
12:44Arise, ye...
12:46Arise, ye...
12:48Arise...
12:49Arise, ye...
12:54What the earth is going on?
12:59What the earth is going on?
13:00For God's sake, you two, look at this mess!
13:03I expect you to set an example.
13:05In a few months' time, you're going to be dancing at balls with gentlemen.
13:09It's high time.
13:11But you two grew up and started thinking seriously about your future.
13:16Your father and I cannot keep you forever.
13:19You're going to have to find husbands.
13:22And let's face it, neither of your beauties like Diana
13:26or clever like Nancy or practical like Pam,
13:30can't you see that if you don't start behaving properly,
13:33you're going to end up as penniless old maids
13:36because no man in his right mind is going to put up
13:39with this silly obsession you have with rebellions and uprisings.
13:42It's not silly. It's happening all over the world.
13:45Honestly, now you have to start thinking of yourselves as women.
13:51As wives, as housekeepers, as mothers.
13:55As all incredibly important roles.
13:57Roles you were made for.
13:58Just tidy up this room, both of you and yourselves.
14:04Good God.
14:12Ben!
14:15I thank you.
14:17After the war,
14:20we were promised a land fit for heroes to live in.
14:24And what have we got?
14:24Meanwhile, despite being married to one of the richest men in London,
14:28Diana too was preoccupied with ideas of rebellion and revolution.
14:33Millions on the dole, slum housing, and hunger.
14:38In modern Britain, it's a disgrace.
14:42This is supposed to be a free country.
14:45But freedom, true freedom, is the chance to work for a decent wage.
14:53To feed, to clothe, to house your family.
14:57God, I hate these political evenings.
14:58Which side is he on, anyway?
15:02Was Tory, then Labour.
15:03Now he's starting up his own party.
15:06All over the shop, then.
15:07New economic system.
15:10A system where all working people will have the chance to share in the profits they helped to create.
15:17An alternative to capitalism.
15:21An alternative to communism.
15:24A return to a Britain that is truly great.
15:29And powerful, once again.
15:32And we are the only party that can actually deliver on these promises.
15:39We, the British Union of Fascists.
15:42I think real change probably is the only answer when you look at the state of the country.
15:49Let's sneak off before it starts up again, eh?
15:52Rather rude to leave so early, isn't it?
15:54Anyone will notice.
15:56I'll tell you what, we'll separate.
15:57Give me a couple of minutes and I'll meet you.
15:58Down by the door.
16:12Mrs. Guinness.
16:22Oswald Mersey.
16:23Everyone calls me Tom.
16:25I don't think we've been...
16:26Introduced.
16:28No.
16:30But we almost have been.
16:31So many times.
16:33You were at the Sassoon's Ball in July last year.
16:36Yes, but I don't recall...
16:37Oh, but I recall you.
16:41Most vividly.
16:42Then, uh, in September you were in Venice, with your, with your husband.
16:49And I spotted you again.
16:52You're crossing the Rialto Bridge.
16:55Like a vision.
16:59So, you see, I, um, well, I simply couldn't let you go this time without inviting you to dinner.
17:05It's a, it's a fundraising dinner for the party.
17:13May I send you an invitation?
17:15I thought what you had to say was very persuasive.
17:23But whether they, the British public, are ready for radical change is another matter.
17:30I think they're desperate for change.
17:38You may send an invitation.
17:43Excuse me.
17:46My husband's waiting.
17:48Yes, of course.
17:48Hello.
17:49Hello.
17:50Hello.
17:51Hello.
17:52Hello.
17:53Hello.
17:54Hello, Nancy.
18:09Hello.
18:10Darling.
18:12So, my love, what can be so important?
18:16Important?
18:17Come on, you better blurt it out straight away.
18:19Don't keep a girl in suspense.
18:20Blurt?
18:21There's nothing to blurt, Angel.
18:22I just thought I hadn't seen you all week,
18:24and you must be in need of some entertainment.
18:27On the telephone, you said you had something
18:28especially important to say to me.
18:30Did I?
18:32Well, I do.
18:34It's how much I love you,
18:35and what an utterly delicious creature I think you...
18:40Hamish?
18:42I have gone to a good deal of trouble, you know.
18:44I've borrowed a dress, had my hair done,
18:46come across town on the bus because I couldn't afford a taxi,
18:49all because I thought that tonight you were finally going to...
18:53Oh, God, Nancy, please don't.
18:56Four years, Hamish, four years.
18:58I mean, girl, look, you know I love you with every inch of my being.
19:02There's no one as clever as you, as elegant or as funny as you are,
19:06but marriage, really, it seems to me so very much not fun.
19:11Babies, nannies, jobs.
19:14Can't we just squeeze in a few more months of complete and joyous irresponsibility?
19:24Please?
19:31You know there is no-one on God's green earth I would ever consider marrying apart from you.
19:36Now, come on, my angel, I have a mass of gossip with which to regale you.
19:46Plus, an actual five-pound note.
19:49The night is young, the world is our oyster.
19:53You are full of clichés.
19:55And you are the light of my life.
19:59You are drunk as a lord.
20:01Well, you can be, too, if you get your skates on.
20:03I tell you what, let's ditch here and go to the embassy and dance.
20:08And you can get this, sir, to the station.
20:30Could I have some chocolate bowed?
20:33Do give your sister a square.
20:35No, no, no, I do not want chocolate anywhere near this dress.
20:37I hate this dress.
20:38Stinks of mothballs.
20:40Well, there's no money for anything else.
20:42If you don't like it, you're just going to have to stay at home.
20:45You can't stay at home.
20:47The party's in her honour.
20:49Evening all.
20:50Tom, darling, how was court?
20:51Uh, we lost.
20:54Oh, yeah.
20:55What's for supper?
20:56Haddock.
20:57You will get what you are given.
20:59I'll be going out, then.
21:00More lovely boiled fish for the rest of you.
21:02Tom, it would be less wasteful if you could let me know
21:05your eating arrangements in advance, please.
21:07It plays havoc with the housekeeping budget.
21:09No, I'm serious.
21:11Mustache.
21:12Bon appétit.
21:15Oh, Unity, you hopeless child.
21:18Oh, no.
21:19Stop laughing.
21:21It's not funny.
21:22Both of you, stop.
21:26It was my mother's responsibility to see her six daughters
21:30happily married and provided for.
21:37But things weren't exactly going to plan.
21:43In Birmingham today, when hunger marchers clashed with police,
21:48thousands of protesters are marching to London
21:50to petition Parliament about less unemployed...
21:54Darling?
21:56Well?
22:03Did you have a lovely time?
22:07Sweet to view, but there really is no need to wait up for me anymore.
22:19See you in the morning.
22:19That man, Hamish, is no good for Nancy.
22:29I don't know why she's so attached to him.
22:32I'm not a man.
22:34He's a boy.
22:36I'm not much of a boy, either.
22:40Darling, is there anything I can do to help with the accounts?
22:43You know, two heads are so much better than one.
22:46No.
22:47It's all perfectly under control.
22:51Really?
22:53So?
22:54Hmm?
22:57All your deadlines have come and gone.
22:59Still no proposal.
23:00I know, Joss.
23:01I know you think I should walk away,
23:03but I can't just give up on him after all this time.
23:05I'm so deeply attached.
23:06It would be like...
23:08like cutting off an arm.
23:11All right.
23:11Well, if you'll permit me to inquire...
23:17Have you two...
23:20No.
23:24And you're quite sure that he isn't...
23:27a fan of Oscar Wilde?
23:28No.
23:30No, we've discussed it.
23:32He assures me absolutely not.
23:33Okay.
23:35Well, if it isn't that...
23:36it must be the English problem.
23:38Which is?
23:41The vast majority of Englishmen are crippled with sexual shyness.
23:46Dear God, well, what's to be done?
23:51Come on.
23:53The woman must take control of things in the bedroom.
23:57Me?
23:58But I haven't a clue.
23:59She must be...
24:00She must be direct, without being domineering.
24:06Encouraging, without being patronising.
24:08In fact, she...
24:10She must seduce him totally,
24:12without ever seeming to lose her virtue.
24:16Oh, easy, wouldn't you say?
24:17So good for you to come on your own, Diana.
24:28I do hope Brian didn't mind relinquishing you.
24:30Oh, no.
24:31Brian hates the opera.
24:32But I adore it.
24:33So I'm always more than happy to make up the numbers.
24:38Ah, here he is.
24:39Emerald, forgive me.
24:41You've met Mrs. Guinness, have you?
24:44Yes.
24:45Mrs. Guinness, of course.
24:46What a nice surprise.
24:50Right, let's take our seats, shall we?
25:14God, I've missed you.
25:16God, I'm sorry.
25:31Shifting over a bit.
25:53What?
25:54What's this?
25:55Well, everyone else does it at these house parties.
25:59It's more or less what they're for.
26:00Even people who aren't unofficially engaged do it.
26:04Don't look so horrified.
26:05And do give me a cuddle.
26:06I'm freezing.
26:14Mmm.
26:15They smell lovely.
26:16Mmm.
26:30Mmm.
26:33Mmm.
26:43What?
26:44What?
26:44What is it?
26:45What is it?
26:45What is it?
26:47There's something I should have told you before, but I didn't want to upset you.
26:53Well?
26:53My parents are sending me to America.
26:55What?
26:56For a year at least.
26:57Possibly forever.
26:58On Friday.
27:00Friday?
27:01I know.
27:01I'm sorry.
27:02I thought I could talk them around, get out of it somehow, but I can't.
27:05It's the party on Saturday.
27:07It's Unity's coming out.
27:09I know, but the ship sails on Friday.
27:10They've got all sorts of job interviews and set up for me, which I can't possibly delay.
27:15They said they want me to make a go of things out there.
27:16It's too awful.
27:18It's the last thing I want to do.
27:20Well, don't go then.
27:21I have no choice.
27:22You do?
27:22I can't.
27:23They threaten to cut me off if I don't go.
27:24Well, let them.
27:25I can't.
27:26Darling, how will I survive?
27:29Well, when were you going to tell me then, hmm?
27:31Thursday night or just a telegram from New York?
27:34Nancy, please.
27:35I've been in shreds about this.
27:36Hellfire and damnation, Amish.
27:38Why didn't you tell me before?
27:40Angel, I'm so, so, so...
27:42No!
27:46Oh, hello.
28:11I'm just going round to the flat with a party dress for Unity.
28:14Can't be long.
28:14Before you go, could I have a word, please?
28:16Shall I take that word?
28:31Someone saw you at lunch today.
28:34With Tom Mosley.
28:36That's right.
28:38And on Monday I had lunch with Cecil Beaton and last week with Harold Acton...
28:41That's different.
28:44Well, yes.
28:46In a way.
28:48This is more political talk.
28:50I really think Mosley's on the right track with this new party.
28:53And he has such vision...
28:55Stop it!
28:56The man is a dreadful womanizer.
29:01It's common knowledge.
29:04It must be so...
29:05So humiliating for his poor wife.
29:10And I'm afraid that people have already started talking about you in...
29:14Disparaging terms.
29:17Now, it's...
29:21It's too late to stop them coming to the party.
29:25But I must insist that...
29:28That you do not lunch with him again.
29:39You're right.
29:39I understand.
29:48I'm so sorry.
29:50One, two, three...
29:52Flash.
29:54Lovely.
29:55I think God's name is she?
30:11Darling, will you stop looking up there?
30:14Everyone will think there's something wrong.
30:15She's probably just saying goodbye to her rat.
30:18Oh, darling.
30:18I don't think she'd bring that wreath, do you?
30:20Absolutely not.
30:21I warned her.
30:22I wouldn't put her pass on.
30:25I'm sorry.
30:32Hey, Mr. Churchill.
30:38Mr. Churchill!
30:40Mr. Churchill!
30:41Mr. Churchill, be starving!
30:44Winston.
30:45Diana Dynamite.
30:49Well, look at you, dear girl.
30:52Marvellous.
30:54To bed with you.
30:56Oh, here she is.
30:57That's really...
31:01Oh, here she is. Excuse me.
31:03Excuse me.
31:07Oh, here she is.
31:09Oh, here she is.
31:22Yeah! Bravo!
31:24Thanks so much for the dress, Honks.
31:33You are a brick.
31:36Welcome to the grown-up world.
31:54You know, Hugh Belfort keeps asking after you.
32:08Very decent horseman.
32:10Owns the finest herd of Angus cattle in Milan.
32:13And rich.
32:14Awfully rich, I believe.
32:16Yes, I wish I was a gold digger sometimes.
32:19You could at least dance with him.
32:21He might cheer you up, jigging about a bit.
32:24You are sweet, Pam, but not tonight, thanks.
32:28Pam?
32:30Harry here is desperate to dance with you, but too shy to ask.
32:33Off you both go.
32:35I want everyone to have a particularly wonderful time tonight.
32:39Why particularly tonight?
32:41Well, it might be the last party for a while.
32:44Really?
32:46I thought you loved them.
32:48You're so good at them.
32:50Bored of it all these days.
32:52All that aching small talk.
32:54When you think about what's actually happening in the world.
32:58Speaking of which, how are you bearing up, host Hamish?
33:03Oh, not very well at all, really.
33:08Bad news travels fast, I see, from all the pitying glances.
33:12Yes.
33:12Yes.
33:17I'm sorry.
33:18No, not, I am sorry.
34:25The only way to think about it is that it's for the best.
34:38You've been set free.
34:40Now Hamish is out of the way, you're ready to meet the man who's going to be the true great love of your life.
34:47I probably will get over him eventually, won't I?
34:49Yes.
34:51Of course you will.
34:52Meanwhile, life is bloody miserable.
34:57Here I am, living at home, penniless, and still a virgin at 28.
35:03I mean, it's good.
35:04I'm going to go down.
35:05I'm going to go down.
35:06I'm going to go down.
35:08I'm going to go down.
35:08I'm going to go down.
35:09Okay.
35:09I'm going to go down.
35:10I'm going to go down.
35:12Two, one, two, three, four.
35:17And...
35:18Hi.
35:48Sorry, it's a really poor crop this season.
35:53And I'm supposed to go through this round of parties, year after year, waiting to be picked?
35:59Can't think of anything worse than having to marry one of that lot.
36:04You're right.
36:07Don't let this pack of chinless wonders crush your spirit.
36:13Anyway, there's more to life than hooking a husband.
36:18Just pursue whatever interests you, whatever it is you feel passionate about.
36:23That's the thing.
36:25Really?
36:27And what do you feel passionate about?
36:32For a long time I didn't know.
36:36I was searching for something, I suppose.
36:40But now...
36:42Well...
36:45There's someone here tonight.
36:48Who has some revolutionary ideas about how this country needs to change.
36:53I think he'll actually be Prime Minister one day.
36:57Would you like to meet him?
36:59Of course.
37:01Come on then.
37:02Mrs. Guinness.
37:26Shall we match our spouses?
37:27All right.
37:33Why not?
37:35Why not?
37:35It's quite a long time.
37:36I don't know.
37:36Oh, this, Sean...
37:37Oh, this is really a detail.
37:43No, I wish I had no idea.
37:48OK.
37:48Well, how many proposals?
38:12Oh, God.
38:14If you could have seen them bowed.
38:16What a miserable bunch they were.
38:26Set aside!
38:27Let's go!
38:28Let's go!
38:29Help me!
38:31Clear us!
38:32What?
38:32Yeah!
38:33Go!
38:34Go!
38:35Go!
38:36Get out!
38:37Get out!
38:39Get out!
38:40Help me!
38:41Help me!
38:42Get out of here!
38:43Get out of here!
38:45Get out of here!
38:46Get out of here!
38:47Get out of here!
38:48Get out of here!
38:49Get out of here!
38:55My God, they must hate us!
38:57They're suffering out there!
39:00Well, we're stuck in here like... like... like...
39:04dolls in a doll's house.
39:06Undo me, will you?
39:11I was talking to a friend of Diana's downstairs,
39:14leader of the British fascists.
39:17I'm going with her to hear him speak tomorrow night.
39:20She says he's brilliant.
39:23You should come with.
39:25I can't imagine that anyone at this party
39:28has the answer to the problems of those hunger marches.
39:31If they did, they'd be down there with them right now.
40:06The two people I need to speak to.
40:10Oh, dear. What have we done?
40:12It was her fault.
40:13Tom, it was not my fault.
40:15I have to tell you both about something important.
40:17Good God. What is it?
40:21I'm leaving Brian.
40:22What? You're joking.
40:24You can't leave Brian. Why on earth would you leave Brian?
40:29Because I'm in love with Tom Mosley.
40:31Ah.
40:31Mosley!
40:32Shh!
40:33Yes.
40:34You can't leave Brian for Tom Mosley.
40:37Yes.
40:38I'm going to ask Brian for a divorce in the morning.
40:40Oh.
40:41No. No, no, no.
40:42Did you know about this?
40:43No.
40:43Well, no, I'm...
40:46I mean...
40:47Are you sure or not?
40:50Brian loves you so much.
40:52And I can't bear the thought of hurting him.
40:54Well, then don't leave him.
40:56But with Mosley,
40:58it's...
40:58something on a completely different level.
41:03I can't explain it.
41:05I just know I'm meant to be with him for the rest of my life.
41:10But if you leave Brian,
41:12your reputation will be ruined forever.
41:15It'll be all over the press.
41:17And you'll be hated by everyone who loves Brian.
41:20Which is everyone.
41:22Aren't you going to tell her that she'll be throwing everything away?
41:24Okay.
41:28I think she knows exactly what she's throwing away.
41:37But...
41:37Brian is a wonderful father,
41:40and he'll see the children whenever he likes.
41:43They'll always have two parents who love them deeply.
41:46I know in my heart I'm doing the right thing.
41:49And I want you two,
41:51especially,
41:52to try to understand that.
41:58Ah, there you are.
42:07Brian.
42:10Come on.
42:12It's the last dance,
42:13and you haven't danced with me all evening.
42:14Diana's decision that night
42:26to walk out on her perfect life in pursuit of passion
42:29felt utterly cataclysmic.
42:35At the time,
42:36I rather admired her rebellious panache.
42:39Though, of course,
42:41back then I didn't know
42:42how dangerous Moseley would become.
42:49And she certainly set a precedent
42:50for the younger ones.
42:53Why shouldn't they, too,
42:54follow their hearts and dreams?
42:56Why shouldn't they make their mark on the world
42:58and to hell with the consequences?
43:00This was the calm before the storm.
43:08But in a few short years,
43:10all hell would indeed break loose,
43:13and not just for my family,
43:15but for the world.
43:17The.
43:39The.
43:44The.
