02:50By the end of this tour, I think we'll be able to make a qualitative assessment about where the finest
02:56women in the world come from.
02:58For now, however, I can tell you the women of New Guinea are sweeter than those of Ceylon and right
03:04up there with those of Malaya!
03:09I have shared these secrets with you in good faith.
03:12The contents must, like all disclosures of the officers on board are married and would kill me if they knew
03:21what I was writing!
03:24Strict, strict non-disclosure policies apply. What happens on tour stays on tour!
03:31But rest assured, I will keep you updated on our forthcoming adventures.
03:38I sense this will be a momentous, ever, ever your fellow member, Mike!
03:45ethics and głos!
03:46..
03:48Cytos!
03:54Cytos!

05:57The invasion has been a disaster.
05:59The UN General Assembly is up in arms, as are the Americans.
06:04As a result, our Prime Minister has had no option
06:07but to declare an immediate ceasefire and retreat.
06:13Without taking back the Suez Canal?
06:15Quite.
06:16So it's all been for nothing?
06:18They're rather worse than nothing.
06:21Economically, the drain on our currency reserves
06:23has been so ruinous that we now face a run on sterling.
06:28The energy situation is just as bad.
06:31Panic buying has been reported at petrol stations
06:34and we expect fuel rationing to become necessary
06:38as we move into winter.
06:40This is no exaggeration to say that this has been
06:43the worst week for the country since 1939.
06:47The peace and consensus left by your dear father is gone
06:52and our reputation for decency and integrity
06:55in matters of foreign policy has been shattered.
06:58What is it?
07:01The Duke of Edinburgh is on the telephone, Your Majesty.
07:05Hmm?
07:05Wouldn't that's a first?
07:07From New Guinea, no?
07:09Oh.
07:11Sorry, do excuse me.
07:12Of course.
07:13Give him my best.
07:21Hello?
07:22Hello?
07:24Hello?
07:25Hello?
07:27Hello, can you hear me?
07:33I can't hear you can you hear me yes I can hear you
07:39um hello Elizabeth
07:45can you hear me
07:52Philip
07:55oh
08:02ready for it
08:09damn telephone
08:13this is why they're bothering us
08:26at ease settlement
08:33well our adventure
08:35is only two weeks old
08:37it's already taken us nearly
08:3820,000 miles as we travel
08:41the far corners
08:43of the world
08:45in an attempt to repair
08:47the reputation of our country
08:49currently being ruined by our politicians
08:54I would like to thank
08:55each and every one of you
08:57for your professionalism
08:58and discipline
09:00you have all been brilliant
09:01all that is except for the football team
09:04your shoddy
09:05leaky defense
09:07and absence of a natural left-sided player
09:09led to that rather humiliating defeat
09:11by the seamen's club of all bloody people
09:13at Port Sweternet
09:18I should also like to say
09:19if I may
09:20Admiral
09:22yes sir
09:27it's been wonderful for me
09:28on a personal level
09:30to be back at sea
09:32the Royal Navy
09:33the Royal Navy has always occupied
09:34a very special place
09:35in my life
09:36and indeed
09:36in my heart
09:41there are few
09:42greater pleasures in life
09:43than serving on a ship
09:45such as this
09:46that's why it's all so very difficult
09:48to leave
09:49but
09:49leave I must
09:51and fly to Melbourne
09:53to open the Olympics there
09:54where I must generally behave myself
09:56shake a few hands
09:57cut a few ribbons
09:58it will be hell
10:01I can assure you
10:03and I will be counting the minutes
10:05until you come and pick me up again
10:06and we can continue our great adventure
10:08now
10:08in the meantime
10:09behave yourselves
10:11keep fit
10:13and don't drink all the bloody beer
10:22well done boys
10:23well done
10:26well done
10:27well done
10:28well done
10:28well done
10:29very good
10:30yeah
10:31yeah
10:36so depressing
10:37this sewer's business
10:39well
10:40can't read about it then
10:41I can't help myself
10:42what were they thinking
10:44should we take a look at the schedule
10:46will I tune it up
10:47probably not
10:48no
10:49I've been stripping things out
10:50wherever I can
10:51but I'm afraid
10:51it's still pretty hectic
10:52we start with a uranium mine visit
10:55in the Northern Territory
10:56you can
10:57agricultural parades in Sydney
10:58then overdo a British Empire
11:00service league conference in Canberra
11:02and finally garden parties
11:04like a government house
11:05enjoy
11:05but
11:06I've come up with a nice little stock speech
11:08which you can memorize like a minor bird
11:10and deliver each step of the way
11:15Australia
11:16in the name itself
11:17conjures up such romantic images of progress
11:20ambition
11:27possibility
11:28it is said that the mark of any great nation
11:30is the journey it has endured
11:32on its path to glory
11:37what a journey Australia must take
11:46from those early European explorers
11:48who landed at your shores
11:49who have endured great hardship
11:51and crisis
11:52less independently minded nations
11:54would have faltered
11:55sought support
11:56from the parent nation
11:57once so integral
11:59to their governance
12:00but Australia forged onwards
12:04like it's rugged
12:06and at times
12:07unforgiving land state
12:09Australia showed true strength
12:12true metal
12:18you have admirably developed
12:21every branch of your life
12:22and culture
12:26and just 200 years
12:28have grown into a unique
12:29and individual civilization
12:32which I'm sure will rank
12:34among the greatest
12:35that the world has seen
12:40thank you
12:45thank you
12:48name's Helen King
12:5029 years old
12:51writes for The Age
12:52one of the most prominent
12:53newspapers here
12:54she's asked to meet you
12:57that's me sir
12:59what for?
13:00an interview
13:02I thought we decided
13:03no interviews
13:04we did
13:04but in her case
13:05I find myself moved
13:06to make an exception
13:07you saw the way
13:08she was looking at me
13:09yes
13:10you didn't think
13:11I'm being delusional
13:13gentleman's radar
13:14on all that
13:14no
13:16not to mention
13:17the way she's followed us
13:17every step of the tour
13:18no
13:19I think we can safely assume
13:21this one's a friend
13:22not an enemy
13:32the car
13:33carrying his royal highness
13:35the duke of Edinburgh
13:36makes his way out
13:38onto the splendid red track
13:39here on the pleasant
13:40afternoon in Melbourne
13:43the crowds are ecstatic
13:44as they get their first glimpse
13:46of the duke
13:47who is reported to be
13:48greatly enjoying
13:49his time here in Australia
13:51and now
13:52we're nearly there
13:53as the duke
13:55takes his place

14:23and thousands of cheers
14:25from his fighting spectators
14:27reverberate around the crowded space
14:29you can thank me for that
14:30it's my idea
14:31I always knew it was a good idea
14:33to let him shine
14:34alone
14:35what a magnificent moment
14:38yes thank you
14:46in ancient Greece
14:48the beginning of the games

15:07ready
15:08yes
15:09yes
15:13Mrs. Parker
15:14this way please
15:15Mrs. Parker
15:19how can I help
15:20I'd like to separate
15:21from my husband
15:23better still
15:24divorce
15:26do you mind me asking
15:27on what grounds
15:28the fact I never see him
15:31absence
15:31isn't a legal
15:33ground for divorce
15:37neglect
15:37nor that I'm afraid
15:39we're going to need
15:40one of the big three
15:41adultery
15:42unreasonable behaviour
15:43or insanity
15:44I'm quite sure
15:45there has been adultery
15:47we will need evidence
15:50that won't be easy
15:51because of his job
15:55Mike works for the Duke
15:56of Edinburgh
15:57in what capacity
15:58his private secretary
16:01oh I see
16:03he's also his closest friend
16:04they're virtually inseparable
16:08are you really sure about this
16:11a divorce
16:11can leave a woman
16:13quite isolated
16:15maybe things will get better
16:18if you
16:18stick it out
16:20I tend to think
16:21that's always the best way
16:22for everyone
16:25grass is rarely greener
16:29I will come back
16:30when I have evidence
16:45you're taking
16:46the pethidin
16:46yes
16:47and the pentobarbitone
16:48yes
16:49I'm taking the pentobarbitone
16:50but it doesn't work
16:53I need something stronger
16:55there is nothing stronger
16:59the fact is
17:00in terms of pharmacology
17:02we've gone as far as we can
17:10I have the greatest sympathy
17:12for your condition
17:13Prime Minister
17:14and I fully understand
17:16the need for rest
17:19but given the challenges
17:21that are now facing
17:21this country
17:23you don't feel
17:24that you have a responsibility
17:25to execute your duties
17:27just a little longer
17:28I asked the physician
17:29the same question
17:30ma'am
17:31but he insisted
17:35he felt that I was at the very
17:37limit of human endurance
17:42but the country will be in safe hands
17:45Mr. Butler will take charge
17:48in my absence
17:50Mr. Head will oversee
17:52the withdrawal of our troops
17:53from Egypt
17:55and Mr. Macmillan
17:56will oversee the
18:00economic situation
18:01economic crisis

18:06you'll be away
18:07not long ma'am
18:10a few weeks

18:15at short notice

18:45tropical sunshine
18:46he said he felt my life
18:48might depend on it
18:53what would he prescribe
18:54for the rest of us
18:56do you imagine

20:57if anything should occur to you
21:13you
21:19when i know
21:22but i know you had a friend
21:25and oh
21:35Martin, do you have a minute, Michael?
21:38I think it's important.
21:40Coming.
21:44I'm going to ask you to go through it again.
21:47Yes, the provenance of this room is quite arcane.
21:51Your sister?
21:52Sister-in-law.
21:53Had lunch with her aunt who had just spent the weekend at...
21:58Chumley Castle.
21:59At which one of the other guests was the bridge partner...
22:03Tennis.
22:05...of the solicitor visited by Eileen Parker.
22:11I think that's it.
22:13That's half Britain already.
22:15And all of these people now know Mrs. Parker is seeking a divorce.
22:23Yes.
22:25It's unfortunate.
22:27It'll be hard to contain.
22:30What are...
22:32Mrs. Parker's...
22:36grievances?
22:39Neglect.
22:40Unreasonable behavior.
22:43And...
22:45infidelity.
22:46Just a wife's suspicions.
22:48Nothing concrete.
22:49But I believe specific mention was made of a lunch club where Lieutenant Commander Parker and the Duke of Edinburgh...
22:55Don't tell me.
22:56Don't tell me.
22:57Frequent guests.
22:59Actually, founder members.
23:03Keep an eye on this for me, would you, Martin?
23:06How close are I?
23:07Three thousand problems, please, Jane.
23:09Here it is.
23:23Thank you very much.
23:48for seeing me, sir. Not at all. Well, um, just bear with me when I put my things down and
23:57set up. Please. Just going to put a microphone right here. Can I help? No, it's fine. Thank
24:14you. Right. I think that's it. Right. Well, I'll, uh, I'll leave you two to it then. Thank
24:24you, Michael. Please. Thank you. Where do you want? Well, we can't really start without
24:35passing comment on the situation in Egypt and the international response. Why? Huge
24:43demonstrations on the streets of London. Eden caving in to international pressure and
24:48calling a ceasefire. You don't think it's a pretty significant moment for your country?
24:52Perhaps, but I'm not going to pass comment on that. Why not? It's not my job. It's not what
24:57members of the royal family do. But you must have thoughts about it. Of course. Not a vegetable,
25:04but my thoughts on issues like that remain a private matter.
25:11One can't help wondering where it leaves Britain's place in the world. Oh, I'm sure Britain will
25:15be fine. No, the view from over here is that Britain has been publicly humiliated. Oh.
25:22As someone with surprisingly progressive views, that must concern you. I have progressive views.
25:29You don't think that you do? Televising the coronation? Advocating modernization? That's just
25:35common sense. If you're a progressive, one prepared to make changes. Well, let's just say
25:40that I learned very early on that it's wise not to take things for granted. You're referring
25:45to your family. How they had to leave Greece in the revolution. Your grandfather was shot.
25:51Your father fled to avoid being shot. Yes, correct.
25:58Well, you see, there's so much that people don't really know about you.
26:05I can assure you it's all been rather embellished. The truth is really quite dull.
26:11Dull? How you personally fled Corfu in an orange crate? And then in childhood, in exile,
26:17always on the move? Exile is too strong a word. Too emotional. Just how it was for everyone.
26:22Just go home with it. But it can't have been easy. Was the trauma of being in exile what brought
26:33on your mother's illness, do you think? More illness. Well, the information I have is
26:44that she suffered a breakdown. Things weren't easy for her. But she got on with it.
26:58She was taken away, wasn't she? To an institution. And then your father promptly abandoned the family,
27:04ran off with his mistress? I don't know what you've been reading or who you've been speaking
27:08to. But both my mother and my father played very active roles in all their children's lives.
27:13So it isn't true that you didn't see your father for the last six years of his life?
27:16I think if we're to remain friends, we really should move on.
27:20All right. May I ask you about your education?
27:26Sir.
27:35What about it?
27:37That was pretty unusual, too.
27:39I went to boarding school in Britain. I knew what's unusual about that.
27:42For a while, but then you were taken out of there and sent to school in Germany.
27:46Because my sisters lived there.
27:47Your Nazi sisters.
27:49Oh, Christ.
27:50One of whom was married to a close personal friend of Hitler's.
27:52I was at school in Germany for less than a year before I returned to the United Kingdom.
27:57What point are you trying to make here?
27:59I think it's pretty clear which side I was on.
28:01My record in the war speaks for itself.
28:02I'm simply saying that your background is so much more interesting and complex than people
28:07might imagine.
28:07Do they imagine anything?
28:08I think people are curious.
28:12There is this striking, handsome man, walking beside the most famous woman in the world.
28:20Who is he?
28:22Well, I hate to disappoint.
28:27But he really is just a normal man.
28:30In what from the outside probably looks like rather a strange life.
28:34But from the inside, really is no different to anyone else's.
28:41I don't think there's anything about you that's like anyone else.
28:46From a young age, you were effectively orphaned.
28:49Your favorite sister, Cecile, also a Nazi, died in a plane crash.
28:53Yeah, I really think we should move on now.
28:54What kind of impact does that have on a man?
28:57That's the kind of trauma that will doubtless have a bearing on how your own children and
29:02the future king of England abroad are.
29:04It's enough.
29:08I think people have a right to know about their leaders.
29:11Don't you?
29:12Especially ones that can't be thrown out with free and fair elections.
29:20Just don't ever let my vanity get the better of me again.
29:23I don't think so.
29:34I don't think so.
29:44Christ.
29:47Christ.
29:48I don't know.
30:27Kensington 8953, hello.
30:35We met a few times in various locations.
30:49Afterwards, he'd tell me about his job, the company he keeps.
30:59You didn't mention a wife.
31:03Or children.
31:08I'm so sorry.
31:14If you are really sorry, I want to make my life easier.
31:21Of course.
31:24We will need you to make an official statement and give evidence in court.
31:29I can't do that.
31:30I would lose my job, my reputation.
31:31I'm afraid that's what the law requires.
31:33No.
31:37No.
31:39So you telephoned me and agreed to come here today for what, precisely?
31:44To put colour into my nightmares?
31:47I'm sorry.
31:55My sources now tell me that Mrs. Parker has gone as far as bringing a waitress from a Thursday
32:00lunch club to see her divorce line.
32:02I gather the waitress has not provided hard evidence on this occasion.
32:07Just hearsay.
32:08Though we're obviously getting close.
32:09This cannot be allowed to go one single step further, Martin.
32:14No.
32:15If Mrs. Parker succeeds in getting her divorce, the newspapers would take the not unreasonable
32:21assumption that anything that Lieutenant Commander Parker has done, the Duke of Edinburgh
32:27has done too.
32:28We do not want words like infidelity and divorce smiling around.
32:34No.
32:34Whether there is any truth in the allegations or not, it would shatter up the integral to
32:40royal marriage and jeopardize the entire monarchy.
32:47Any ideas?
32:50Stand easy.
32:51Stand easy.
32:52Right.
32:53Our grown-up duties are done.
32:54The Olympics are officially up and running, which means, gentlemen, we can now get on with
32:59the important business at hand, our tour.
33:02Hooray!
33:05We have nine weeks between now and our arrival home.
33:09In that time, we will be visiting the remotest parts of the Commonwealth.
33:12But I'm delighted to say that during that time, we will be without reporters.
33:18We will be without photographers.
33:22We will be out of the world's eye.
33:26And with that in mind, I think Michael's got a suggestion.
33:31Right, gentlemen.
33:31Yes, I'd like to propose something a little unusual, something I'm fairly sure none of
33:36us has ever participated in before, a beard-growing competition!
33:42Now, special dispensation has been given to the dozen or so.
33:46Men already have been.
33:48It's a shave of the moth.
33:49And their act is judging for the rest of our efforts, all right?
33:53Yeah!
33:55Hey, Chris!
33:56Aye!
33:56Hey, Chris!
33:57Aye!
33:58Hey, Chris!
33:59Aye!
34:00Aye!
34:00Aye!
34:00Aye!
34:01Aye!
34:01Aye!
34:02Aye!
34:02Aye!
34:13There's something you've not seen before.
34:15You can't see it now, Bill.
34:17Aye!
34:18Aye!
34:19Aye!
34:19Aye!
34:20Aye!
34:22Aye!
34:23Aye!
34:23Aye!
34:24Aye!
34:25Aye!
34:27Aye!
34:31Aye!
34:32Aye!
34:41Aye!
34:42Aye!
34:43Aye!
34:43Right!
34:44In their infinite wisdom, the powers that be have decided they would like you to make
34:47a Christmas speech!
34:49What?
34:50To who?
34:51The men on board?
34:52Er, no.
34:53To the, er, half a billion people that make up the Commonwealth of Nations.
34:57And the Lord Chamberlain's Office, they'd like you to make a companion Christmas
35:00speech to the queens thousand words preferably uplifting in tone and christian in sentiment
35:06with as many references as possible to the importance of family and the sanctity of marriage
35:12what if i don't want to well i'm afraid no provisions appear to have been made
35:16for your having an opinion about that or indeed anything else
35:21because of seniority your speech will come second uh usual time three pm
35:29however on christmas morning the duke of edinburgh is expected to be in grahamland
35:33in the antarctic peninsula which is 10 hours behind us so he'll have to get up at the crack
35:39of dawn to make his speech may i ask why he's making a speech um well it's not usual is
35:46it
35:48no it it is extraordinary um i think the feeling was that with your majesty and his royal highness
35:57having not been seen in public together so long being at least heard together no i see it might
36:04reassure people that all is still well i wouldn't go that far ma'am well i would and i think
36:11it's a good
36:11idea thank you michael
36:20may i just ask just out of curiosity
36:26what's the longest amount of time that you and lady adine have been separated
36:32uh three weeks i think i see and would you say that you thrive or suffer from the separation
36:42we don't much care for it ma'am helen in particular believes a little good comes from a couple being
36:49apart with a husband and wife belong together of course
37:00uh
37:01uh
37:02uh
37:48Yes, sir.
37:52What's up?
37:52Australian Naval Patrol boat.
37:54It's your mayor's Warren has put out a distress call.
37:56They picked up a fishing boat out of power and it's drifted for days.
38:00One man left alive and he nearly drowned trying to fix the hull.
38:02He suffered a broken rib cage and his lung may be punctured.
38:05And the war really doesn't have a doctor on board.
38:07The man is dying.
38:08Are we the nearest ship?
38:09There's a French freighter three miles further out.
38:12We are the nearest ship.
38:14Set your course.
38:16Bring her about.
38:18Coming about.
38:19Nine to three.
38:39Hey.
38:40Go.
38:41I think it happens coming up.
38:43Get in here.
38:49Track.
38:50I don't know if they're first from the ship.
38:51The others are ready.
38:56Tracks.
39:03Howdy.
39:05We fished him out of the water floating near his boat.
39:08The rest of his crew must have drowned.
39:10There's no log on board, so we don't know who he is or where he's from.
39:13It doesn't matter who he is or where he's from.
39:15He was the captain of the ship.
39:18That's where it counts.
39:20He's one of us.
39:24You know, it's out of the question, sir.
39:27Why?
39:28We have a strict schedule, it's part of an official term.
39:31And to take the man back to wherever he came from would be to turn back in entirely the wrong
39:35direction.
39:36It'd take days, maybe a whole week, off our important schedule.
39:40We can make that time up.
39:41The man's fortunate enough, we saved his life.
39:44We'll simply drop him off at the next destination and that'll be that.
39:47He will be needlessly separated from his home.
39:50Find himself in a strange country with a foreign language, away from his family.
39:55Not my concern.
39:57Another vessel with less important duties might find time for such a sentimental charity.
40:02We've done our important duties and are on the way home.
40:06We're effectively a glorified pleasure cruiser with an abundance of fuel and time to spare.
40:12Sir, my decision as flag officer is no.
40:15And my decision as admiral of the fleet is that we do.
40:26There is only one person in command of the vessel.
40:34It's the flag officer.
40:37If you'd recall your naval training, you'd remember.
40:41I do recall my naval training as it happens.
40:44Manning command posts on destroyers during the war, the same war, which I believe you spent on shore duty.
40:51I have never abused my privileges and I don't intend to start now, but this is the Royal Yacht.
40:56I am on it representing the Crown and I say turn it around and take this man home.
41:01I am on it representing the Royal Yacht.
41:31Many thousands of miles, I am happy to report that we saved our greatest adventure for last.
41:39As the Royal Yacht Britannia turned naval rescue and we fished a shipwrecked mariner under the water.
41:47Our brilliant surgeons operated on him.
41:49Then we went out of our way to return him to his home, his family and his people.
42:02Get out of our way!
42:13Standing with them!
42:17What is it now?
42:18You are leaving!
42:19Edgewood Henry!
42:19Oh.
42:33And what people, what family, what home.
43:10Should you Thursday Club members ever grow tired of your colourless and empty lives in London?
43:16I suggest immediate relocation to the discreet island nations nestled around Tonga.
43:24Surely the closest one can come to heaven on earth.
43:30Never have we received such a welcome or eaten so well.
43:37Never have I experienced such a willingness to set oneself free and enjoy.
43:45And nowhere on earth, and we have by this point travelled across almost every inch,
43:53have we encountered such beautiful women.
44:13These really have been the most remarkable few days.
44:19And it is with the greatest reluctance that after three days here we tear ourselves away.
44:26Each of us, not a little bit, but a great deal in love.
44:46That is your husband's handwriting, isn't it?
44:53You said you needed evidence.
44:59That's not a royal tour, that one.
45:01It's a five-month stag night.
45:04Whores in every port.
45:12Good luck.
45:13Good luck.
46:01Happy Christmas.
46:03Hello.
46:05Go on.
46:07Is the truth?
46:09Hahahaha.
46:10That's one more thing up there.
46:11It's true.
46:12Little luck.
46:13Little luck.
46:13Little luck.
46:13All right?
46:19I'm coming very well.
46:21I love you.
46:22Oh, don't be horrible, I take you.
46:24Just a little more.
46:26You're very good.
46:27That's my love.
46:28Oh, everyone.
46:30It won't be.
46:30It won't be.
46:31No, it won't be.
46:32No, it won't be.
46:34No, it won't be.
46:35No, it won't be.
46:37No.
46:39I'm waiting for inspiration to strike.
46:44Might I suggest some gung-ho platitudes about Christmas
46:48in the Commonwealth?
46:49That's what they want me to say.
46:52I mean what I want to say.
46:57Right.
47:04Have you got it yet?
47:05I can't say this.
47:06Nearly this.
47:07You again, who said?
47:08Where exactly is Philip?
47:10Graham Land, last I heard.
47:12Where's that?
47:18Dickie, where's Graham Land?
47:20No, Antarctica.
47:21What is it?
47:22Is that north or is it south?
47:24It's north.
47:25No, don't be silly, Mum.
47:26It's south.
47:27Does anyone actually know?
47:28Yes, because the Arctic is north,
47:31and so Antarctica is non-north, isn't it, Dickie?
47:35What's non-north?
47:37Come.
47:40It's time.
47:41Good.
47:42Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses.
47:44Oh, do you need some children?
47:45And now, the Christmas announce
47:47from His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh.
47:52Good morning.
47:54This is Britannia.
47:56I'm speaking to you from the edge of the South Pacific,
47:5959 degrees south and 60 degrees west.
48:02You'll have to turn the globe upside down to find this place.
48:06Indeed, a few of us aboard the Royal Yacht
48:07feel a little upside down, having never been this far from home.
48:13The remoteness of the location presents one with a precious opportunity to think.
48:18About one's own life, one's own way of living.
48:24We've travelled the world now, and seen all manner of tribes, societies and cultures.
48:31We've had endless debates about which places have the best systems of government or justice,
48:35or the most interesting religions, and we've been amazed and impressed by so much of what we've seen.
48:44Naturally, it has led us to examine our own lives and the way we live,
48:49the things we take for granted.
48:52Is that really Philip? Some sort of Philip impersonator?
48:56Why?
48:57It sounds so odd, so different.
49:05And here I am, almost 10,000 miles from London,
49:09surrounded by empty water.
49:14It's a fine life on board a ship, but it can be a solitary one.
49:22We are men together.
49:27But we each stand alone.
49:50I've been asked to tell you that they're ready for you.
49:59Last minute changes.
50:02Something like that.
50:03May I help?
50:05No.
50:27We are ready for you, ma'am.
50:30Yes.
50:38Happy Christmas.
50:39Happy Christmas.
50:41Happy Christmas.
50:44The people of Britain and the Commonwealth will now listen to the voice of her majesty, the queen.
50:58Once again,
51:00messages of Christmas greeting
51:01have been exchanged around the world,
51:04carried upon
51:06the invisible wings
51:08of 20th century science.
51:12And of all those many messages
51:13from all corners of the Commonwealth,
51:17none has given us greater pleasure.
51:20Than hearing those of my
51:22husband
51:24from the remote and lonely
51:26spaces of Antarctica.
51:31To him I say,
51:34from all the members of your family
51:36gathered here today,
51:40our very best wishes go to you
51:42on board Britannia.
51:46A very large,
51:47united family
51:49is waiting for you here.
51:57And will always be waiting for you.
52:00Wherever you are.
52:17I would like to express my gratitude
52:20to those men and women
52:22of the Commonwealth,
52:23whose efforts
52:24in our great cities
52:26and our great city
52:56I don't know.
53:28You all right?
53:30Fine.
53:40Her speech.
53:44What about it?
53:47Touching.
53:49Unexpected touching.
53:52Put me off guard.
53:58I might even have to confess to feeling a little...
54:04Homesick?
54:09Yes.
54:13Right.
54:24Yes.
54:25Yes.
54:38Yes.
54:52Yes.
54:54Yes.
54:56Yes.
55:10Yes.
55:22Yes.
55:27Yes.
55:29Yes.
55:40Yes.
55:53Yes.
55:57Good night.
55:58Yes.
55:58Yes.
56:23Yes.
56:24See you then.
