TVTranscript
00:30Colonel Whittington for you, sir.
00:37Ah, come in, Dennis.
00:39I'll bring you through some tea and biscuits.
00:41Thank you, Miss Gifford.
00:43I have the results of the departmental annual review.
00:46Oh, of course.
00:47Everyone A-OK?
00:48Yes, sir.
00:49With one exception.
00:51Oh, don't tell me.
00:53I think it's safe to say that in the 27 years that we've been running these tests,
00:57no-one has failed quite so spectacularly as Captain Guy Hubble.
01:02Medically, he seems...
01:04Alive.
01:05Yeah.
01:06His basic health is OK, but he's clearly over the hill, sir.
01:09Perhaps I can draw your attention to his physical test results.
01:12Mm-hm.
01:12The endurance exercise was a three-mile course
01:18designed to be covered in under 30 minutes.
01:21Move!
01:23Unfortunately, Hubble was lapped.
01:25Twice.
01:28As for the obstacle course...
01:30Come on, Hubble!
01:32Come on, man, put your back into rest.
01:35Yeah.
01:35You'll see from the report what the instructors thought of Hubble.
01:41Go on, down you go.
01:42Oh, no.
01:46Whoa!
01:48And as for the final obstacle...
01:55No, I can do it.
01:56Come on, I can do it.
01:58It took them half an hour to cut him out of that tyre.
02:06I won't bother you unduly with the results of his intelligence test.
02:09Hard to think that anyone could score zero.
02:12With multiple choice.
02:14Even by the law of averages.
02:16You'd expect to get one right, but...
02:18Well, then...
02:19That's Hubble for you.
02:25Captain Hubble's arrived.
02:27I'm afraid tea will be delayed while I find some more cups.
02:30And a new teapot.
02:35Sorry about that.
02:38I picked up most of the biscuits.
02:41She was right behind the door when I arrived.
02:44Would you like a biscuit, sir?
02:47Sir?
02:51Captain Hubble reporting for duty, sir.
02:53Yes, sit down, Hubble.
02:54Yes, right.
02:55I...
02:56Where, sir?
02:57Oh, yes, sir.
03:01You're here to discuss your recent performance review.
03:04Oh, good.
03:05Very good.
03:05How did I do, sir?
03:06How did you do?
03:07Well, let's have a little look, shall we?
03:08You came bottom in the firearms drill.
03:12You needed oxygen after the assault course.
03:15And according to the examiner in your intelligence test,
03:18you have an IQ somewhere between that of a goldfish and a fruit bat.
03:24Well, to be fair, sir, I, um, I did have a bit of a cold that day.
03:28I mean, some of the things you wrote down in your personal development paper.
03:31You were asked to name areas you'd like to improve.
03:34You wrote Lewisham.
03:36Well, yes, sir.
03:37You see, I thought that, uh, well, they could do with a new leisure centre
03:41and, um, and a nice play area, you know, just for the kiddies.
03:45Look, Hubble, I'm sure you're aware of these cutbacks that we need to make.
03:50Now, regrettably, that does mean to say
03:51that we are going to have to let some of our people go.
03:54Now, it's not going to be easy, but...
03:56What, um...
03:58What is that on your chest, Hubble?
04:01Oh, dear, sir.
04:04Sir George Medal.
04:06Yes, I, uh, popped into the palace this morning
04:08and picked it up from Her Majesty.
04:11It's for bravery above and beyond the call of duty
04:14at the Commonwealth Conference.
04:17You may remember, sir,
04:19when I prevented the assassination of Her Majesty.
04:24Oh, and one other thing, sir, she did give me this matter of commendation.
04:30If you'd like to look at it, thank you.
04:35Gratitude and immeasurable bravery.
04:37I'm looking forward to many more years of service.
04:46Simply irreplaceable.
04:50Her Majesty.
04:56Right.
04:57Thank you, members.
04:58But, unfortunately, we are still looking at staff redundancies,
05:02starting with the decrepit.
05:04Like you.
05:06Are you implying that I'm too old, sir?
05:09I'm not implying, Hubble.
05:11I can still run with the pack.
05:14You were lapped by the pack, Hubble.
05:16Dennis, Dennis, if I may.
05:18What we're saying, Hubble, is we are going to have to, um,
05:24reassign you within the department to lower-level security duties.
05:30Sir, surely this calls for termination?
05:33Pending a re-evaluation of this report,
05:36I would like you to work with one of the young prince's team,
05:40until further notice.
05:42Sir, I'd still prefer to detail Her Majesty.
05:46Hubble, that's an order.
05:49Yes.
05:50Yes, sir, very well.
05:52Thank you, sir.
05:53Sir.
05:53Sir.
05:53Sir.
05:53Sir.
05:53Sir.
05:53Sir.
05:53Sir.
05:53Sir.
05:53Sir.
05:55Sir.
05:57Sir.
05:57Sir.
05:58Sir.
05:58Sir.
05:59Sir.
05:59Dennis, you saw the letter.
06:04What was I supposed to do?
06:05Oh, no.
06:07Oh, no.
06:18Well, anywhere from the prince of our departure time?
06:21Eminent, sir.
06:22No sign of Hubble here, by the way.
06:24No, no.
06:24He's meeting us here.
06:26Well, look, give me an update when you have it.
06:27Roger.
06:27All right, Yates.
06:35Good of you to join us.
06:36Where have you been?
06:36I had a private appointment.
06:39All right, what's the latest?
06:40Prince is having lunch with some friends, pals inside.
06:43He says we're looking at an imminent departure,
06:45so we should be on our way very soon.
06:48All right.
06:49All right, put it in there.
06:49All right, put it in there.
06:49All right.
06:50All right.
06:50All right.
06:50Put it in there.
06:51All right.
06:52Put it in there.
06:53I've, um...
06:54I've asked him to keep me posted.
06:59Is there anything else you want to say, Yates?
07:04No.
07:05Are you sure?
07:06Well, I was just wondering what you feed it.
07:10What?
07:11Well, that small furry animal you seem to have perched on your head.
07:14After that meeting, I just thought I ought to do something.
07:29No.
07:29You're right.
07:30I mean, it's a young man's game, this.
07:32I actually think it's a good move.
07:34Do you?
07:35Mm.
07:36Mm.
07:36Yeah.
07:37Yes, I do.
07:38I mean, it takes years off you.
07:39Yeah.
07:40I mean, we have just got to hope the RSPCA don't catch up with you.
07:44Look, the man in the shop who sold this to me told me it was top of the range,
07:50and it'll stay on even in hurricane.
07:53So what does it do, then?
07:54Just sort of dig its little claws into your scalp and cling on?
07:57Look, my friend Gordon has got the same model as this,
08:00and he even uses it when he goes out microlighting.
08:04Microlighting?
08:06Yeah.
08:07But you know what microlighting is?
08:11It's the same as hanglighting, except they put a wrong mower engine on the back.
08:17Go ahead.
08:20Right.
08:22Prince wants to stop at a jeweller's on Blenheim Square.
08:24No.
08:25It's not on the schedule.
08:27He wants to buy a necklace for a friend.
08:28Well, he can't, because it hasn't been cleared.
08:31What, do you want to tell him?
08:32Yeah, give me that.
08:34You press the red one.
08:41Obviously.
08:47Well, this is Captain Hubble.
08:49We can't keep on changing the schedule like this.
08:52I mean, good God, is it normally this shambolic down on the Prince's Detail?
08:57Well, I'm taking over.
09:03Pal, we're turning into the square now.
09:06What's happening with the Prince?
09:07He's in the jeweller's now, sir.
09:09It's called, er, Layfield.
09:10I can't see you, pal.
09:16There's a white band, double parked.
09:19All right, I'll move this bloke along.
09:21You keep your eyes open.
09:23And don't forget, monitor everything.
09:26You never know what might happen.
09:27Yeah, quite.
09:33All right.
09:34Come on, let's go.
09:37Let's do it.
09:38Let's go!
09:38You can't park here, Sonny.
09:42Come on, move it.
09:43What?
09:44I was only going to be two minutes.
09:46Oh, you won't.
09:47Come on, hop it.
09:48You see, Yates, when plans change, you've got to be extra vigilant.
10:01The red one.
10:03I know.
10:08How?
10:09How's it going with the Prince in the jewellers?
10:10Over?
10:11What's that?
10:14What's that?
10:15Over.
10:16Over?
10:17Over?
10:17Yes, over.
10:19You say over so that I know that you've finished speaking.
10:26Powell.
10:26Sorry, sir, I didn't know you finished speaking.
10:28You didn't say over.
10:30Over.
10:32I want to know what's happening in the jewellers.
10:35Over.
10:36What in the jewellers?
10:37You said you were taking over.
10:39Over.
10:40Yes, I know.
10:41When I got there, in the meantime, the Prince is in there with no protection.
10:46Over.
10:47Over.
10:48That's right.
10:49Over.
10:51I'm going over.
10:54Going where, sir?
10:56Over.
10:58To the jewellers.
11:00Over.
11:00Can we drop the over business, sir?
11:03It's getting very confusing having to say over after everything.
11:09Over.
11:10No, we can't.
11:12Over.
11:12We have to observe radio protocols.
11:18Over.
11:19Yes, sir.
11:21Yes, sir.
11:22Over.
11:23Are we just talking now or are we still on the radio?
11:26Yes, of course we're just talking now, aren't we?
11:28That is because it took you so long to learn the radio etiquette.
11:33Meanwhile, the Prince is in the jewellers on his own.
11:36Over.
11:39What's that?
11:40What's going on?
11:41Wait, come on, come on, come on.
11:42Let's go.
11:51Let's go back.
11:52Anything wrong, pal?
12:03No, no, no.
12:04Your hair just looks different.
12:06Yes, sir.
12:06I'm using a different shampoo.
12:11The red one.
12:12I know that.
12:15Hubble.
12:16The HQ.
12:17We need backup immediately.
12:21I know.
12:23Over.
12:34Special units are here, sir.
12:36Send them through now.
12:38Keep going.
12:39Keep going.
12:40Keep going.
12:41We have a high security incident here.
12:43Please keep moving on.
12:44But I live here.
12:45I don't care.
12:46This is an emergency.
12:47Now move.
12:48Where?
12:49There, there.
12:49Move, go.
12:50You directed me on.
13:06Yes, I know, but you're supposed to keep your eyes open, aren't you?
13:09Look at my car.
13:11Pal, this is all your fault.
13:12You told me to send them home.
13:14What the hell were you doing?
13:15Well, it's his fault.
13:16It's not my fault.
13:17It's his fault.
13:19Get out of the car.
13:20Get out of the car.
13:21Get out of the car.
13:23Get out of the car.
13:24Get out.
13:25Get out of the car.
13:26Come down!
13:27No, listen!
13:28Hold it!
13:29Paul, sort this out, will you?
13:36Oh, there you are, sir.
13:38It's a siege situation, but everything's under control.
13:42I've cordoned the area off, and roadblocks are in place.
13:45Oh, well done, Hubble.
13:46Thank you, sir.
13:47The only teeny-weeny problem is that the third in line to the throne is being held at gunpoint.
13:52Yes.
13:53How the hell did this happen on your watch?
13:55I take full responsibility, sir.
13:58That's good.
13:59Thank you, sir.
14:00Because when we come out the other side, I'll expect your resignation.
14:03What's that on your head?
14:04I'm not going to pay for the damage. This is on your insurance.
14:07Shh, shh. Not now. Not now.
14:08Write your insurance details down here.
14:10Who's this, Holland?
14:11He just made me crash my car.
14:13Oh, that's a bit of an exaggeration, sir.
14:15You hate stealing with this gentleman, will you?
14:17Yes, you hate stealing with this gentleman, will you?
14:20I'm warning you stay there, nobody move, eh?
14:23I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yes, sir.
14:35This is Commissioner Baker, sir.
14:37Yes, I know, Hubble. We're old friends.
14:39Really? Where did you meet?
14:40What?
14:41Sorry, it doesn't matter.
14:42Hello, Tim.
14:43Dennis, I've made contact with the gunmen, and the good news is they don't appear to know that they've got the Prince in there.
14:49What happened in there?
14:50Well, they claim they only wanted to rob the place, but then one of the shop assistants set off the alarm, they looked out, and then for some reason their getaway vehicle had gone, and they panicked.
15:00I think I may be responsible for that, sir. Quick thinking. When I arrived, I noticed that the transit van was double parked. So I got out and told them to move on, I said.
15:12So you've turned what was a straightforward robbery of a few trinkets into a full-scale siege with the Prince's life at risk?
15:21They've asked for a car to get them away from here. It's on its way.
15:24Commissioner Baker, can you read me?
15:26Baker.
15:28Permission to make amends, sir?
15:29Permission denied.
15:30Thank you, sir.
15:31Um, I've been round the side of the building, sir, and I've lifted a manhole cover.
15:36A manhole cover?
15:37Yes, sir, because you see, I'm convinced that the sewer runs directly underneath the jewelers.
15:43Now, if I could get some tunnelling equipment, sir, I could drill underneath the foundations and tunnel up into the jewelers and rescue the Prince.
15:54Yates.
16:00Go round the back of the building. Maintain radio contact.
16:02Yes, sir.
16:04They've asked for some food. I think we should oblige the, er, first stage of any hostage situations to keep everyone calm.
16:11We'll send in some pizzas.
16:13I'd like to take the pizzas in, sir.
16:15Oh, but will you go away? You've caused enough trouble already.
16:17We will need someone to take them in, then.
16:19Yes, but not him.
16:20Well, they won't feel threatened by him.
16:22Having said that, of course, um, it could be extremely dangerous going into a siege situation if things kick off.
16:29We're sending the pizzas in.
16:43Look, if he tries anything funny, he's dead.
16:46I suppose sometimes in these situations they never come out alive.
17:08We try not to let that happen.
17:10Yes, but surely sometimes.
17:16Not there.
17:27Huh?
17:28Over there.
17:29Yes.
17:30Yes, of course.
17:37What's that on your head?
17:39Nothing.
17:41All right. Now, then, who's, er, the Hawaiian?
17:46That's him.
17:47Uh, Hawaiian and pepperoni.
17:52Him.
17:53Pepperoni.
17:54That's you.
17:55And, er, you must be, then, the margarita, yes?
17:58I ordered a cheese and tomato.
18:00Well, that is margarita, isn't it?
18:02I don't know. Open the box.
18:04That's all right, okay, open the box.
18:05Ah, here, there you are. Look, cheese and tomato.
18:07Right.
18:08Boom.
18:09What's that green stuff on it?
18:10Well, I don't know, do I? It's probably basil.
18:11Well, I don't like basil.
18:12Is that my fault?
18:13Well, I didn't order no basil, did I?
18:14All right.
18:15It's okay, I'll take the basil off.
18:16Get your hands out of my pizza, man.
18:17All right.
18:18Hey, calm down, keep your hair on.
18:19Don't tell me to calm down.
18:20I'm just saying you're getting yourself all sort of worked up.
18:21So just calm down.
18:22You tell me to calm down again, I'm going to start shooting hostages, all right?
18:25You lay one finger on the prince's head and you'll live to regret it.
18:30Who?
18:31I'm sorry.
18:32I'm sorry.
18:33I'm sorry.
18:34I'm sorry.
18:35I'm sorry.
18:36I'm sorry.
18:37I'm sorry.
18:38I'm sorry.
18:39I'm sorry.
18:40I'm sorry.
18:41I'm sorry.
18:42I'm sorry.
18:43I'm sorry.
18:44I'm sorry.
18:45I'm sorry.
18:46Ha,head.
18:47I'm sorry.
18:48I'm so sorry.
18:49I'm sorry.
18:50I'm sorry.
18:51To get back to the 없 and really let the tr tigers be.
19:06Well done Hubble!
19:07Thank you, sir.
19:08It took guts going in there.
19:11Is the prince unharmed?
19:12Yes, sir.
19:13Completely, completely unharmed.
19:14What about the mood of the gunmen?
19:15Well, they're a bit jumpy.
19:17But since I gave them their pizzas, I've managed to calm them down, so they're fine now.
19:21Everything's fine.
19:23Baker?
19:24Yes?
19:25We'd like to increase our demands, now that we know we've got a prince in here.
19:32And what makes you think you've got a prince in there?
19:36Pizza man told us.
19:40Listen, we want a helicopter to get us out of here, all right?
19:42Have it here in an hour or we start shooting royals.
19:45I'll talk to Sir Edward.
19:47We might need authorisation to use the SAS.
19:53Yates, what happened?
19:58I've just fallen down a manhole that someone left over.
20:03Excuse me.
20:04The pizzas, it's £62.60.
20:07You said you were paying them when you got back.
20:09Yes, I know.
20:10I know, I'm in the middle of a siege here.
20:13Well, we didn't charge you for the garlic bread.
20:15I will pay the man if it's not too complicated a job for you.
20:17So it's just, you did save it if I wait.
20:19Yes, it's all right, all right, all right.
20:21Don't go on about it.
20:22Excuse me, sir.
20:22Don't go on about it.
20:23If I knew you were going to be like this, I wouldn't have recommended you.
20:27This changes everything, Dennis.
20:29The printer's in real danger now.
20:32Here's number 10 across all this.
20:34Sir, excuse me, sir.
20:35Have you got £7.40?
20:36What?
20:37£7.40.
20:38It's for the pizza man.
20:39I'm a bit short.
20:40No.
20:41Oh.
20:42Yates, have you got £7.40?
20:43Hubble, go away.
20:45Yes, sir, but...
20:45Hubble, I'm standing you down with immediate effect.
20:47You're off detail, Hubble.
20:48Go!
20:48Go!
20:48Go!
20:48Go!
20:48Go!
20:48Go!
20:50So what about the £7.40?
21:03And now the news.
21:05It's been reported that a security blunder has led to one of the young princes being held hostage at a jeweller's in London.
21:12A senior security officer was said to have allowed the prince to go into the jeweller's unprotected.
21:17It seems that one of the palace's senior bodyguards made the catastrophic mistake at three o'clock this afternoon.
21:24How can you put a man of his age in charge of royal security?
21:28I mean, this is...
21:28Well, he must be a right donor.
21:30He's like a mug, isn't he?
21:31The guy's a wally.
21:33I mean, who's put him in charge?
21:34I mean, this is the royal family, right?
21:36The thing that makes pretty...
21:36Hello, Gordon.
21:51It's Guy.
21:53Yes, yes, I know it's all over the telly.
21:57Now, listen, I want you to do me a favour.
22:00Have you still got that microphone?
22:01How's the helicopter coming on?
22:14We ain't heard nothing from you.
22:16It's in hand, but trying to get one here in an hour is too difficult.
22:20We need more time.
22:21Listen, it's four o'clock.
22:22If we don't see that chopper by five, we start with a ginger feathery.
22:30They're starting to get jumpy.
22:32Yes, they have to arrive, sir.
22:33Thank God.
22:35OK, we've looked at the plan of the building and the layout of the jewellers.
22:38The key gentleman is surprise and complete operational precision.
22:43We need to get men on that roof without the gunmen hearing a thing,
22:48and then down the front and the back and through the windows.
22:50If they hear the slightest noise...
22:53Ah, ah!
23:15Ah...
23:16Baker, what was that?
23:36It was nothing, just a satellite dish falling off the roof.
23:40Listen, I'm standing next to the prince here with a gun next to his head.
23:44You better not be lying.
23:46You better not be lying.
24:16What is going on?
24:22I'm in the middle of a rescue mission.
24:24Well, who's going to pay for all this?
24:26Don't worry.
24:29I've now got to make a home claim as well as a motor claim.
24:33By the way, that chimney needs sweeping.
24:35Oh, come on, give me a hand.
24:49I've got to get to the window next door so I can kick down to the jewelers.
24:52Sorry to drag you into all this, sir, but we thought it was rather important.
25:11Well, I've spoken to Number 10 and they've given us authorization to use the SAS immediately.
25:15I'm afraid Hubble has already jumped the gun, sir.
25:17What?
25:28Ah, no!
25:29Ah!
25:30Please!
25:30I didn't kill!
25:31Ah!
25:33Oh!
25:33What the hell is he doing?
25:50Just get across there.
25:51Baker, what's going on out there?
26:07Baker, I'm warning you!
26:08Sir, I'd like permission to shoot Hubble down.
26:10Dennis, we don't shoot our own men.
26:14At least not on purpose.
26:15He's in breach of my orders.
26:16He's endangering the whole operation and jeopardizing the prince's life.
26:20I'm sorry?
26:21No.
26:22Well, a court-martial at least when this is all over.
26:25The man's a walking disaster, sir.
26:27I can't believe.
26:30I can't believe.
26:31I can't believe.
26:34Ah!

27:31Ah!
27:32Ah!
27:33Ah!
27:34Ah!
27:35Ah!
27:36Perhaps the impact killed him.
27:56Captain Hubble reporting for duty, sir.
