00:00:11If your sweetheart sends a letter a good-bye,
00:00:26it's no secret.
00:00:29You feel the record.
00:00:33This way, by the way.
00:00:43The end of the bar.
00:00:49Hello.
00:00:50Hello, Porchy.
00:00:54Find the place all right now?
00:00:55Taxi driver, dear?
00:00:57Yes.
00:00:58Of course.
00:01:00Wonderful.
00:01:15Is it just me or is this place faintly ridiculous?
00:01:20Two of my great hates in life, fine dining in central London.
00:01:25I just thought it's the kind of special occasion place one came if one had a special question
00:01:31to ask.
00:01:43This moment I wish I were a poet, not a horse breeder.
00:01:55Will you marry me?
00:02:01Oh, poor G.
00:02:03That sounds like a no.
00:02:05No.
00:02:06No.
00:02:06It's not a no.
00:02:08No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:12Twelve no's.
00:02:14I would love to.
00:02:16On one condition.
00:02:19That you don't still hold a torch for her.
00:02:22Who?
00:02:25Who?
00:02:27Her.
00:02:36I know how close you were and how close your families still are.
00:02:41It's true.
00:02:41She and I, we are close.
00:02:43I was close to her father.
00:02:45I am close to her sister.
00:02:46Our families are close.
00:02:48In many ways, and I speak as a breeder myself, it would have been a good match.
00:02:52Perfect match.
00:02:53I won't deny it.
00:02:56Except for the fact it was never on the cards.
00:03:03For her, there was only ever Philip.
00:03:22And for you?
00:03:33It was only you.
00:04:10You were late.
00:04:12You're late.
00:04:13You were late.
00:04:14It was only rollerblaring.
00:04:14It was only a couple of days.
00:06:02Yes, I'll let him know.
00:06:06I'm sure he'll be delighted.
00:06:08Bye.
00:06:18Are you winning?
00:06:20No.
00:06:22There was one brief tantalizing moment when I thought I had it.
00:06:29I moved in for the kill.
00:06:32Oh, but then one wrong brushstroke and it got away once again.
00:06:38I've just been talking to Jock about your 80th birthday.
00:06:42No, don't mention it.
00:06:43Because it happens on the same day as the opening of Parliament, they've decided to combine events and hold a
00:06:51reception in your honour at the Great Hall.
00:06:53Oh, that's very nice.
00:06:55Oh, and it's going to be Graham Sutherland.
00:06:57Who?
00:06:59The painter.
00:07:00To paint your portrait.
00:07:01What portrait?
00:07:03The official portrait commissioned by both houses.
00:07:06It's your present.
00:07:08Sutherland?
00:07:09Hmm.
00:07:10Never heard of him.
00:07:12Never heard of him.
00:07:12He's got quite the reputation.
00:07:14He's a modernist.
00:07:15So I can trust a modernist with an English name?
00:07:19Give me a German modernist or an Italian.
00:07:24They're the ones who have to start all over again.
00:07:27Whatever would an Englishman want to change?
00:07:51It's grand to be home again after so long an absence.
00:07:55The surgeon who operated on me told me yesterday that all was well.
00:08:00I'll need to have a further period of convalescence, put on some weight.
00:08:06There's nothing else to worry about.
00:08:09As I said, it's grand to be home again.
00:08:13I look forward to being back at work just as soon as possible.
00:08:37Hello?
00:08:38Porchy.
00:08:40I hope I'm not disturbing.
00:08:42Goodness.
00:08:43Am I disturbing?
00:08:47No.
00:08:48Good.
00:08:49It's all real.
00:08:50I think we're making a mistake.
00:08:52I think we should lead from the start.
00:08:55And I think you're wrong.
00:08:57But we both know he doesn't hold up naturally.
00:08:59We tried holding him up against Darius before, and Darius won.
00:09:03That was the Guineas, which is a mile.
00:09:06This is the King George, a mile and a half.
00:09:11What will we do if he plays up before the race?
00:09:13He always plays up.
00:09:15That's who he is.
00:09:17You don't seem the slightest bit worried.
00:09:20Anything else?
00:09:22Well, can I just say one more time, for the record, I think we should start fast and run at
00:09:30a good clip.
00:09:33Noted.
00:09:34I am right sometimes, you know.
00:09:36Even you said yourself that I have good instincts.
00:09:39You do.
00:09:41I might well live to regret it.
00:09:44That and a good many other things.
00:09:47Oh, dear.
00:09:47Such as?
00:09:49Good night.
00:10:29Mr. Sutherland, Prime Minister.
00:10:31Good morning.
00:10:32How do you do?
00:10:33Good morning.
00:10:33Hello.
00:10:34How do you do?
00:10:34Good morning.
00:10:35How do you do, sir?
00:10:36It's an honor.
00:10:37I don't know.
00:10:37The honor is mine.
00:10:45So where do you want me?
00:10:52So, will we be engaged in flattery or reality?
00:10:57Are you going to paint me as a cherub or a bulldog?
00:11:00I imagine there are a great number of Mr. Churchills.
00:11:04Yes, indeed, there are.
00:11:07Well, as you search for him, perhaps I can implore you not to feel the need to be too accurate.
00:11:14Why? Accuracy is truth.
00:11:16No, for accuracy, we have the camera.
00:11:20Painting is the higher art.
00:11:24I paint a bit myself, you know.
00:11:27Yes, sir, I know.
00:11:29And I never let accuracy get in the way of truth if I don't want it to.
00:11:34If I see some landscape I like and I wish there wasn't a factory in the background, I leave the
00:11:41factory out.
00:11:45So, Mr. Sutherland, tell me, I'm fascinated.
00:11:48What is your process?
00:11:54First, I shall take some photographs.
00:11:57They'll be useful as reference when I get back to the studio.
00:12:00Then I shall do some charcoal sketches, studies of the head, hands.
00:12:03And then I'll work the sketches out.
00:12:09The actual painting up will be done in my studio at home.
00:12:16Um, is this? Do you mind?
00:12:18Perfect, all right. Carry on.
00:12:22What pose are you thinking of?
00:12:27Seated.
00:12:31A good right standing.
00:12:33It might be more commanding.
00:12:36Dynamic.
00:12:38It might make me look younger.
00:12:42I thought the painting was supposed to celebrate reaching a certain age.
00:12:46Four score years, Winston.
00:12:48Yeah.
00:12:49I think seated is more senatorial.
00:12:52Oh, senatorial.
00:13:00Yes, I agree.
00:13:09Cigar or no cigar?
00:13:13No cigar.
00:13:14Garter rose or no garter rose?
00:13:17No finely.
00:13:19No grandiosity.
00:13:22Dressed merely as a parliamentarian.
00:13:25A prosaic.
00:13:32I liked him.
00:13:33Yes, I could tell.
00:13:35He was smit, blushing like a little girl.
00:13:39Well, he's rather a wow.
00:13:42A wow?
00:13:43Tall and handsome.
00:13:45Saturne.
00:13:46A bit of a Heathcliff.
00:13:48He wants total control.
00:13:50Well, any artist worth anything would insist on that.
00:13:53We don't really want to flatter her.
00:13:55Yes, I do.
00:13:56No, you don't.
00:13:58Besides, it's manifestly clear he's a fan.
00:14:00Oh, no, don't be silly.
00:14:02You can smell the socialism on him.
00:14:04Even the socialists acknowledge you saved the country.
00:14:07Well, through gritted teeth.
00:14:10I have the protective instincts of a loving wife, and I can tell you this one is not an assassin.
00:14:16Oh, no, no, don't be silly.
00:14:18Oh, no, don't be silly.
00:14:20Oh, no, don't be silly.
00:14:22Oh, no, don't be silly.
00:14:24I'm not a fool.
00:14:55I know, I know.
00:15:09What a champion.
00:15:11What a champion.
00:15:13Oh, hello.
00:15:26I remember getting the phone call from your father when he was born.
00:15:31By Hyperion out of Angelola.
00:15:33Yes, we gave him his first milk, remember?
00:15:38Watching him grow up, everyone thought his elder brother would be the star.
00:15:41Your clever papa always had an instinct for this one.
00:15:44The underdog.
00:15:45And he backed him.
00:15:47And an underdog became a star.
00:15:50Yes, at his favourite horse.
00:15:54So, what's next, Roger?
00:15:57Well, we've received an invitation to the Laurel International.
00:16:02America?
00:16:03Yes, next month.
00:16:05Well, he's what?
00:16:07Four?
00:16:08Already at the older end of the spectrum.
00:16:10Hmm.
00:16:11If you're asking my opinion.
00:16:12Well, that is why I asked for you today.
00:16:16My honest advice.
00:16:18I'd consider retiring him now.
00:16:20At the top of his game.
00:16:22The best middle-distance horse in Europe with a sky-high market value.
00:16:26Let him earn you some proper money as a star.
00:16:30Huh.
00:16:31I'm surprised to hear you turn down the opportunity of going to America.
00:16:37Why?
00:16:38Well, that's where your girlfriend's from.
00:16:40Isn't it?
00:16:42Fiancée.
00:16:44Fiancée?
00:16:45Goodness.
00:16:49Who is she?
00:16:51Money, I hope, so you can keep out the stables.
00:16:53Actually, she's a Portsman.
00:16:55Dear, so no money.
00:16:56Some money.
00:16:57But a horse mad.
00:16:59Well, she'd have to be.
00:17:03You'd approve, I think.
00:17:06Well, can I meet her?
00:17:07If you promise you won't scare her.
00:17:09Why would I scare her?
00:17:10You're the queen.
00:17:12Only some of the time.
00:17:13All the time.
00:17:14That makes you terrifying.
00:17:16And she's heard a lot about you.
00:17:19From whom?
00:17:20From me.
00:17:22Some of it nice, too.
00:18:01The one you let get away.
00:18:03The one you let get away.
00:18:05Oh.
00:18:06What?
00:18:07He's always carried a torch for you.
00:18:09Poor she.
00:18:11That's nonsense.
00:18:13He told me himself.
00:18:15One night while in his cups.
00:18:18That doesn't count.
00:18:21When a man's had a drink, that's when the truth comes out.
00:18:24No.
00:18:25That's when the nonsense comes out.
00:18:26Besides, you have interests in common.
00:18:29The horses aren't an interest for you.
00:18:31They're a passion.
00:18:32A passion your husband doesn't share.
00:18:34He has other passions.
00:18:37So I hear.
00:19:06I hear.
00:19:07Good morning.
00:19:12The foreign secretary is here, sir.
00:19:14Shall I show him in?
00:19:16No.
00:19:18Not here.
00:19:32Sorry to keep you waking.
00:19:35As apposite as ever.
00:19:38I didn't mean it like that.
00:19:44There's ugliness in the air, Anthony.
00:19:48I have nothing of beauty to say.
00:19:50Then say what you must.
00:19:52Deposit your ugliness and go.
00:19:54I have more important things to do.
00:20:01Very well.
00:20:07At some point,
00:20:09every leader must ask himself
00:20:12whether by staying in office
00:20:14he is giving to the country
00:20:17or taking from it.
00:20:19Helping
00:20:20or harming.
00:20:23And I would suggest
00:20:25that for some time now
00:20:27you have been
00:20:29taking
00:20:30and harming.
00:20:31And therefore I come to you
00:20:33in the name of the party
00:20:34and of the country
00:20:36for the very last time, Winston
00:20:40to bid you to stand down.
00:20:42I will in good time.
00:20:43At the right time.
00:20:45The right time was
00:20:47nine years ago
00:20:48when you lost us the election.
00:20:49And I have since
00:20:51avenged that defeat
00:20:52by winning us the last election.
00:20:53I won us that, Winston!
00:20:55I won that!
00:21:02People voted conservative
00:21:03in the clear expectation
00:21:05that you would give way to me.
00:21:07Oh, that is such rubbish!
00:21:09They voted conservative
00:21:10because they couldn't stomach socialism!
00:21:13Inflation is out of control.
00:21:15And with every misjudgment,
00:21:18with every miscalculation,
00:21:21with every utterance you make,
00:21:23that appetite to return to the left is growing!
00:21:26Be careful, Anthony.
00:21:27Too much excitement is not good for one so soon
00:21:30after an operation.
00:21:31Spoken by a man who,
00:21:33only two months ago,
00:21:34was effectively dead.
00:21:35Which makes two of us.
00:21:37I have recovered.
00:21:38That's not what I hear.
00:21:40I hear you're a shadow
00:21:42of your former self.
00:21:44That when you walk,
00:21:45the pills rattle around inside of you.
00:21:48I have something that you'll never see again.
00:21:52A clean bill of health.
00:21:55A Stalin said the same.
00:21:57He died
00:21:58Rothering on the floor!
00:22:01Mr. Sutherland is here.
00:22:04Hello, Anthony.
00:22:05Anthony was just leaving.
00:22:08Pillowed penny.
00:22:11Yes, I was, uh...
00:22:14Just teeping.
00:22:17Here we are.
00:22:19Morning.
00:22:21Morning.
00:22:22This is my wife, Kathleen.
00:22:24She assists me sometime.
00:22:26I hope you don't mind.
00:22:35Oh, my God.
00:22:41I saw you.
00:22:42There you go.
00:22:43.
00:22:55Wait.
00:22:58I'm not sure what you have here.
00:22:58Over here.
00:23:07What's that you're using?
00:23:09Pencil.
00:23:10But which kind?
00:23:144B or 6B or something. I'm not sure.
00:23:18It's a 6B.
00:23:21And on what paper?
00:23:23Drawing paper.
00:23:23I paper heavyweight cotton.
00:23:26Cold pressed, decal edged.
00:23:28Sized with gelatine.
00:23:36How many paintings has your husband complete in a year, Mrs Sutherland?
00:23:413 or 4.
00:23:44Would you care to guess how many I average?
00:23:4710?
00:23:5015?
00:23:5060.
00:23:53Of course.
00:23:54I'm just a hobbyist.
00:23:56An enthusiast.
00:23:58Not a major artist like your husband.
00:24:03Taking his time.
00:24:07Over here.
00:24:38I did a little reading about you, Mr Sutherland, after our last session.
00:24:44Did you?
00:24:44Quite interesting.
00:24:46From what I read, this is all very new to you, this portraiture.
00:24:51I don't think anyone starts out wanting to be a portraitist.
00:24:54Yeah.
00:24:55But in your search for your metier, you've tried a bit of everything.
00:24:59That's true.
00:25:02I came to painting quite late.
00:25:04But now that you've found it, you'll never leave it, yes?
00:25:07Yeah.
00:25:07I quite understand.
00:25:27How is it, Mrs Sutherland?
00:25:32It has truth.
00:25:35I might be allowed a peek.
00:25:37No.
00:25:39Why not?
00:25:40I could give you advice.
00:25:42After all, I know this face better than you do.
00:25:46If you've made the neck too thick or the arms too long, I can tell you.
00:25:50I find in general people have very little understanding of who they are.
00:25:54One has to turn a blind eye to so much of oneself in order to get through life.
00:25:58And you see it as your responsibility to bring all that out into the open?
00:26:01Certainly.
00:26:02The good as well as the bad.
00:26:03Just concentrate on the good and all will be well.
00:26:07You're not just painting me, you know.
00:26:10You're painting the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
00:26:15and everything that great office represents.
00:26:17Democracy.
00:26:18Freedom.
00:26:19The highest ideals of government and leadership.
00:26:22Just remember that.
00:26:35Yes?
00:26:36Lord Porchester, Your Majesty.
00:26:40Plug in.
00:26:42Porchy.
00:26:43What a palaver.
00:26:44What is?
00:26:45I'm getting through to you.
00:26:47I picked up the phone to you just after nine this morning.
00:26:50It's now gone midday.
00:26:51Oh, don't exaggerate.
00:26:53But yes, I know.
00:26:54It is infuriating.
00:26:55Fire away.
00:26:56You asked me to come to some figures for you.
00:26:57With regard to Oriole.
00:26:59Although I'm numerically dyslexic.
00:27:01Runs in the family, I'm afraid.
00:27:03Like the high forehead.
00:27:04Oh.
00:27:05I have done the sums.
00:27:06See if this helps you with your decision.
00:27:08In the course of his lifetime as a racehorse, Oriole has made you just over 40,000 pounds.
00:27:13Goodness.
00:27:15But, if you were to put him out to stud, he could make you far more.
00:27:18He's a recognised champion with a top-notch pedigree.
00:27:21You could stand him at Wolferton's stall for top dollar.
00:27:27Well, that's the decision then.
00:27:30Good.
00:27:31And in the meantime, I'll ask if I can get you a direct line.
00:27:36To you?
00:27:37Yes, to me.
00:27:38Why?
00:27:39Or is there anyone else you wanted to speak to here?
00:27:42No.
00:27:43Good.
00:27:47What is it?
00:27:48Top dollar.
00:27:50I need numbers.
00:27:52400.
00:27:53A pot.
00:27:54A shot.
00:27:56Sorry, I'm trying to find a less onomatopoeic expresser for what is ultimately...
00:27:59I know what it is.
00:28:00A shag.
00:28:01A cover.
00:28:03A cover?
00:28:04Yes, that's the correct term.
00:28:07A horse hump.
00:28:09Yes.
00:28:12So what might you earn then, over the course of the year?
00:28:14Well, in one year alone, Aurel might cover 40 mares.
00:28:20Making about 16,000 pounds.
00:28:23Good for him.
00:28:24In the course of his lifetime at the stud, he might sire 500, 600 fowls.
00:28:29Making me over 200,000 pounds.
00:28:32Creating an entire generation of offspring.
00:28:34Yes.
00:28:36Father to all the fowls in our stables and any other stable that could afford him.
00:28:39Yes.
00:28:41Oh, I see.
00:28:42So in time, every horse out there could somehow be related to Aurel.
00:28:50Yes, I suppose so.
00:28:52Like old man Carnarvon.
00:28:56Who?
00:28:58Your friend Porchy's father.
00:29:01Porchy?
00:29:02No.
00:29:02Like I said, his father.
00:29:05Yes, they're both called Porchy.
00:29:07Wasn't that the rumour?
00:29:08What rumour?
00:29:10Well, that he'd had so many affairs.
00:29:12An entire generation of British aristocrats was related to him.
00:29:17An illegitimate Porchy.
00:29:19In every great house in the land.
00:29:23High foreheads everywhere.
00:29:26Enumerical dyslexia.
00:29:28What?
00:29:30Nothing.
00:29:31What?
00:29:33Nothing!
00:29:37Michael!
00:29:39Dear boy!
00:29:45Good night.
00:29:47Good night.
00:29:49Let me have a look here.
00:29:52Marvellous.
00:29:53Shall we?
00:29:54Come on.
00:29:54You look beautiful.
00:29:55Mm-hmm.
00:29:58Let's go.
00:30:09All right.
00:30:11All right.
00:30:14Uh, come up.
00:30:18Ah.
00:31:31How is he?
00:31:31Too bad, sir.
00:31:32This way.
00:31:44Good morning.
00:31:47Good morning.
00:32:00Your wife this time?
00:32:03You know?
00:32:05I asked her not to come.
00:32:11Since this is to be our final session,
00:32:15we wanted us to be all alone.
00:32:21In silence, preferably.
00:32:23Yes, yes.
00:32:25I'll be a good boy.
00:32:33I quite understand the need for concentration.
00:32:37Painting the picture is like fighting a battle.
00:32:41A bloody battle.
00:32:42In the gladiatorial fight to the death,
00:32:46the artist either wins or loses.
00:32:51Are you winning?
00:32:53I hope so.
00:32:56You think I'll like it?
00:32:58I think that's possibly too much to ask for.
00:33:02But I do take comfort from the fact that your own work is so honest and revealing.
00:33:08Oh.
00:33:10Thank you for the compliment.
00:33:16Are there any works that you're referring to in particular?
00:33:21I was thinking especially of the goldfish pond here at Chartma.
00:33:27The pond? Why the pond?
00:33:29It's just a pond.
00:33:31It's very much more than that,
00:33:32as borne out by the fact that you've returned to it again and again, more than 20 times.
00:33:37Well, yes, because it's such a technical challenge.
00:33:40It eludes me.
00:33:43Well, perhaps you elude yourself, sir.
00:33:45That's why it's more revealing than a self-portrait.
00:33:48Oh, that's nonsense.
00:33:50It's the water, the play of light, the trickery, and the fish down below.
00:33:59I think all our work is unintentionally revealing,
00:34:02and I found it especially so with your pond.
00:34:04Beneath the tranquillity and the elegance and the light playing on the surface,
00:34:08I saw honesty and pain, terrible pain.
00:34:12The framing itself indicated to me that you wanted us
00:34:16to see something beneath all the muted colors deep down in the water.
00:34:25Terrible despair.
00:34:27Hiding like a leviathan, like a sea monster.
00:34:31You saw all that?
00:34:34Yes, I did.
00:34:37Perhaps that says more about you than me.
00:34:39Mm-hmm.
00:34:42Perhaps.
00:34:46May I ask you a question, Mr. Sutherland?
00:34:49Hmm.
00:34:50It's about one of your paintings.
00:34:53The one you call pastoral.
00:34:55With all that gnarled and twisted wood, those great ugly dabs of black,
00:35:05I found something malevolent in it.
00:35:10Where did that come from?
00:35:13Well, it's very perceptive.
00:35:15That was, uh...
00:35:16It was a very dark time.
00:35:18My, uh...
00:35:20My son, John,
00:35:23passed away.
00:35:24Eight to two months.
00:35:30Oh, my.
00:35:32I am sorry.
00:35:39Yes, thank you.
00:35:58You have five, yes?
00:36:01Four.
00:36:03Marigold was the fifth.
00:36:07She left us at age...
00:36:10Two years, nine months.
00:36:11Septicemia.
00:36:13I'm so sorry.
00:36:14I had no idea.
00:36:19We settled on the name Marigold,
00:36:22on account of her wonderful golden curls.
00:36:27The most extraordinary color.
00:36:30Uh...
00:36:32Regretfully,
00:36:34though perhaps mercifully,
00:36:36I was not present when she died.
00:36:39When I came home,
00:36:43Clemmie...
00:36:45roared like a wounded animal.
00:36:51Well...
00:36:55We bought Chartwell,
00:36:57a year after Marigold died.
00:37:03That was when I put in...
00:37:08the pond.
00:37:10The pond.
00:37:11The pond,
00:37:23uh...
00:37:37Here.
00:37:57It's a pleasure.
00:38:06I look forward to seeing it.
00:38:24Oh, oh, just let me, let me, let me, let me freeze again to death.
00:38:50Hello.
00:38:51Hello.
00:38:54Shall we?
00:38:55Yes.
00:39:00Well, given this is Oriel's debut, we want to leave nothing to chance.
00:39:04I've called up three different mayors.
00:39:06Very rarely does a forced tryst make a fruitful tryst.
00:39:10One wants the perfect foe, one needs to be prepared to wait for the perfect peril.
00:39:14Shall we?
00:39:16Meet Neocracy.
00:39:17Oh, the Aga Khan.
00:39:18Indeed.
00:39:19Yes.
00:39:20Recently retired, with a good record as a winner.
00:39:22Lovely temperament tool.
00:39:35Hmm.
00:39:36As you can see, an altogether different proposition.
00:39:40Strong, willful, with a terrific track record herself.
00:39:42Aureol really would be breathing the best with the best.
00:39:46I'm sensing a bash.
00:39:48Through memory, your Aureol is something of a sensitive soul.
00:39:52That hit him to be intimidated or come unstuck and faced a fiery warrior like this.
00:39:56That's very considerate of your portrait.
00:39:58Which is why I have a good feeling about our third candidate.
00:40:01Feast your eyes on Temple Bar.
00:40:03A hot thoroughbred with the winning streak herself.
00:40:06A little on the young side, perhaps.
00:40:09Just three.
00:40:10We don't mind that, do we?
00:40:17Immediate engagement.
00:40:18Yes.
00:40:19Yes.
00:40:19I must say, I do like this one.
00:40:21Mm-hmm.
00:40:23Would appear the feeling is mutual.
00:40:26Oh, love.
00:40:29Telegrams have been pouring into Dining Street today to wish to Winston Churchill a happy 80th birthday on this, the
00:40:3730th of November.
00:40:39They come from all parts of the globe.
00:40:41Oh, happy birthday, that darling old pug.
00:40:54Happy birthday to you.
00:40:58Happy birthday to you.
00:41:01Happy birthday to you, my missus.
00:41:08Happy birthday to you.
00:41:13Happy birthday to you.
00:41:21Happy birthday to you.
00:41:25Happy birthday to you.
00:41:29Happy birthday to you.
00:41:31Happy birthday to you.
00:41:31Happy birthday to you.
00:41:32Happy birthday to you.
00:41:34Happy birthday to you.
00:41:35Happy birthday to you.
00:41:36Happy birthday to you.
00:41:36Happy birthday to you.
00:41:36Happy birthday to you.
00:41:42Oh, is it time?
00:41:43It is time.
00:41:44Right.
00:41:53Bruce it down, Michael.
00:41:54Thank you, Bob.
00:41:55Westminster Hall, silent witness of nearly a thousand years of history, was the scene of the birthday presentations to Sir
00:42:02Winston.
00:42:55I am deeply honoured to be here today.
00:43:01No politician has ever received such an honour before, and I am deeply grateful.
00:43:10I am aware, however, that after having served my country for 54 of my 80 years,
00:43:26resignation is a word that hangs in the air.
00:43:32And indeed, this is the perfect occasion for it.
00:43:36The stage is set, and the audience is assembled all ready for a grand valediction.
00:43:46There's only one problem.
00:43:48The lead actor has forgotten his life.
00:43:53And instead of standing down, he is taking an encore.
00:43:59My dear, he's playing with them all.
00:44:03When your political colleagues are kind enough to present you with a portrait by an ambitious modernist,
00:44:14one has to ask oneself, is it a gift, or is it a curse?
00:44:27Mr. Sutherland, the artist, and I spoke a great deal during my sittings.
00:44:35I reminded him of the stakes involved, that his portrait was not just of me, but of the office I
00:44:46represent, indeed, of our entire system of government.
00:44:50So, at long last, I look forward to unveiling this painting.
00:45:30The fine patriotic piece of modern art.
00:46:10Why are you here?
00:46:12I understand you've rejected the painting.
00:46:15I have.
00:46:16On what grounds?
00:46:16That is not a painting.
00:46:19It's a humiliation.
00:46:22How shall I paint him today?
00:46:25Ah!
00:46:26Sitting on a chair, producing a stool.
00:46:30A broken, sagging, pitiful creature, squeezing and squeezing.
00:46:36That's not how it's being seen.
00:46:37That is how it is.
00:46:39And I will not accept it.
00:46:41I don't think it's wise to reject it.
00:46:43It was commissioned by the members of the Joint Houses of Parliament as a sign of respect.
00:46:47But then they should have commissioned an artist who is respectful, instead of a Judas wielding his murderous brush.
00:46:54Look at it!
00:46:56It is a betrayal of friendship.
00:46:58And an unpatriotic, treacherous, cowardly assault by the individualistic left.
00:47:06As regards to the friendship?
00:47:07Clearly, there is none.
00:47:11I accepted this commission because I admired you, and I came through the experience admiring you even more.
00:47:16You make monsters of everyone you admire?
00:47:20It's not vindictive.
00:47:22No.
00:47:23It's art.
00:47:23It's not personal.
00:47:24Well, you are a lost soul.
00:47:29A narcissist without direction or certainty.
00:47:32Please, sir.
00:47:34Don't overreact.
00:47:35Give it time.
00:47:36I showed the sketches to your wife throughout the process.
00:47:39She remarked on how accurate they were.
00:47:40That is the whole point.
00:47:42It is not a reasonably truthful image of me.
00:47:46It is, sir.
00:47:47It is not.
00:47:47It is cruel.
00:47:49Age is cruel.
00:47:57If you see decay, it's because there's decay.
00:47:59If you see frailty, it's because there's frailty.
00:48:03I can't be blamed for what is.
00:48:07And I refuse to hide and disguise what I see.
00:48:14If you're engaged in a fight with something, then it's not with me.
00:48:24It's with your own blindness.
00:48:36I think you should go.
00:48:39I think you should go.
00:48:54You should go.
00:49:22he's right what i am that man in the painting
00:49:31wretched and decaying and i cannot go on i've said that before
00:49:43and this time i mean it i'm tired
00:49:49you've had enough i have my love
00:49:59this time i really have
00:50:02good
00:50:23you
00:50:47of course i knew it was coming
00:50:50if i'm being frank there were one or two moments when i might have even hoped for it too
00:50:56prayed no doubt
00:51:06you really have been the most remarkable servant to your country
00:51:09thank you ma'am no winston on behalf of us all thank you
00:51:20and you wish for mr eden to take over i do well that will make him happy for a day
00:51:27or
00:51:27two he might even stop cursing me then he will be overwhelmed by a job in which no man can
00:51:35never succeed and curse me again for leaving it to him
00:51:41it might be an idea not to tell him that before he starts
00:51:44no ma'am
00:51:48so
00:51:51this is our last audience
00:52:02yes
00:52:08however will i cope without you

00:52:32Okay.
00:53:13Yo!
00:53:14Yo!
00:53:25Yo!
00:53:28Oh, my God.
00:54:07Renaming London Airport?
00:54:10I want something more personal, for Winston.
00:54:16What about dinner?
00:54:18Here? Oh, Buckingham Palace.
00:54:20No, there.
00:54:21Downing Street?
00:54:22Yes. It would be quite the compliment.
00:54:25You and Philip go there for dinner.
00:54:28I'll ask Philip.
00:54:30No, you'll tell Philip money.
00:54:33Dinner? Downing Street, oh God.
00:54:36Why not?
00:54:39Is she a look anything?
00:54:42I mean, if I were a stallion, would I fancy her?
00:54:46Attraction isn't so much about looks as smell.
00:54:50Oh, I see.
00:54:51Well, does she smell good?
00:54:52Well, we'll see.
00:54:53Maybe.
00:54:55Come on.
00:54:56Come on, have a look.
00:55:03Rather like us, darling, when we were courting.
00:55:05Shh.
00:55:06Will you please be quiet?
00:55:10Yeah, look.
00:55:11Here we go.
00:55:12All right.
00:55:13All right.
00:55:14You all right?
00:55:15Yeah.
00:55:17Hold her steady.
00:55:19Ready?
00:55:23All right.
00:55:24I say.
00:55:31Back off.
00:55:35Good guy.
00:55:41Is that it?
00:55:44It's 2,000 guineas for that.
00:55:46As long as he's done what he needs to do, and it bears fruit, I don't mind.
00:55:51Well done, Porchy.
00:55:54Yes, indeed.
00:55:56Well done, Porchy.
00:55:58I hear he's been given a direct line.
00:56:01Who?
00:56:01Porchy, so he can call straight in.
00:56:03I know only because I'd tried to get one for Mike and was refused.
00:56:08Yes.
00:56:09On account of him not being a family member.
00:56:12Porchy is like family.
00:56:14Is he?
00:56:15Yes.
00:56:16Part of the furniture.
00:56:19Well, as long as you don't sit on him any time soon.
00:56:26That's it.
00:56:27That's it.
00:56:29Take the tray out.
00:56:31Oh.
00:56:31Oh.
00:56:34Well, that all seemed to go well.
00:56:35Yes, it did, isn't it?
00:56:39You all right?
00:56:43Mm.
00:57:08Can you leave us now, please?
00:57:10Yes, ma'am.
00:57:28I have nothing to hide from you.
00:57:31Nothing.
00:57:34Porchy is a friend.
00:57:39And yes, there are those who would have preferred me to marry him.
00:57:43Indeed, marriage with him might have been easier.
00:57:48Might have even worked better than ours.
00:57:53But to everyone's regret and frustration, the only person I have ever loved is you.
00:58:03And can you honestly look me in the eye and say the same?
00:58:17Can you?
00:58:32Pray silence for her majesty, the queen.
00:58:38Pray silence for her majesty, the queen.
00:58:48Dear Winston, dear Winston, dear Winston and Lady Churchill.
00:58:56My confidence in Sir Anthony is complete.
00:59:01And I know he will lead the country on to great achievements.
00:59:06But it would be useless to pretend that either he or any of those successors who may one day
00:59:13follow him in office will ever, for me, be able to hold the place of my first prime minister.
00:59:20To whom my husband and I owe so much, and for whose wise guidance during the early years of my
00:59:29reign,
00:59:30I shall always be so profoundly grateful.
00:59:40I will remember you always, for your magnanimity, your courage at all times,
00:59:55and for your unfailing humour, founded in your unrivaled mastery of the English language.
01:00:05I take comfort from the fact that, in losing my constitutional advisor,
01:00:13I gain a wise counsellor,
01:00:19to whom I shall look for help and support in the days which lie ahead.
01:00:33May there be many of them.
01:00:34May there be many of them.
01:00:49Everyone has a worthy enemy.
01:00:49Well, you are the one who has wondered.
01:00:49Well,...
01:00:49Well,...
