00:10I'm going to go.
00:14I'm going to go.
00:15I'm going to go.
00:24Fuel on.
00:26Fuel on.
00:27Docks are in position.
00:29Switches are off.
00:29You sure about this, sir?
00:32When I got married, my in-laws made me marshal of the Royal Air Force.
00:35As a result, I'm the most senior airman in the country, and I can't bloody well fly.
00:41Yes, I'm sure.
00:42Right-o, sir.
01:12Ready, sir?
01:14Go!
01:15Here we go!
01:17Whoa-ho!
01:24There we go!
01:29Perfect!
01:32Woo-hoo!
01:39Slow there.
01:50Right.
01:52All right there, sir?
01:54Yes, yes, fine.
01:55Now, it's your turn.
01:57You have control.
01:58I have control.
01:59Now, remember what I told you.
02:00Keep your eye on the altimeter and the compass heading, and keep the stick level.
02:06That's very good.
02:08That's balanced.
02:11Stick to the left, then to the right.
02:20And level.
02:22Good.
02:24Noisy, isn't it?
02:29How's this, sir?
02:41My God.
02:47Isn't it wonderful?
02:48Heaven!
02:55You fought in the Battle of Britain, didn't you?
02:58I did, sir.
02:59257 Squadron.
03:00Flying what?
03:01Spitfires.
03:02Hunnicans, mostly, sir.
03:04Any kills?
03:06One or two.
03:08Shouldn't we get us started now?
03:09The ground seems terribly close.
03:12It's too low to restart, sir.
03:14We'll do a dead stick landing.
03:16Okay.
03:16I have control.
03:17You have control.
03:37That was wonderful.
03:39Same time next week, sir.
03:41How about tomorrow?
04:00You have control with the Del来 enixer.
04:01Come two.
04:05You have control.
04:07What?
04:18Enixer.
04:18I'm one.
04:18Yang Me.
04:19I have control over.
04:20You've got control over.
04:21You have control over.
04:21You're control over.
04:23You are control over.
05:47Johnson, what do you make of this?
05:55Interesting.
05:55Interesting.
05:57Sir.
06:01I think you should see this.
06:05Let's see.
06:08Sir.
06:12That's me.
06:16Excuse me! You can't go in there!
06:19Excuse me, sir!
06:22Sorry, sir. I thought you should see these.
06:29Good God.
06:33We must send a warning.
06:35To cover our backs.
06:40Kenneth, it should probably come from you, as chief scientist.
06:44Address it to the PM.
06:46You'll never read it, of course.
06:48But the important thing is, we sent it.
06:51I'll get you to Downing Street right away.
07:11All right.
07:13I'm not so excited.
07:15All right, sir.
07:18All right, sir.
07:20All right, sir.
07:20We're out.
07:22All right.
07:23We're out!
07:29forward and deep breath in and out yes little stuffy man it might help to open
07:41the window a crack not while they're rehearsing what are they rehearsing my
08:20funeral
08:42Oh, there you are.
08:43Oh, really?
09:00Mr. Thurman.
09:01Mr. Cox.
09:04That's for you.
09:16I'm not a scientist.
09:18I can't say I understand it, but what I can tell you is we don't get a weather warning
09:24like this every day.
09:25We don't get one every month, either.
09:28In fact, I've never heard of us getting one at all.
09:31Does the name Donora mean anything to you?
09:38Donora.
09:39Donora.
09:43Of course I remember Donora, who was a scandal.
09:47A small mill town in America outside Philadelphia.
09:51Pittsburgh.
09:51Donora.
09:52They had a smog brought on by a freak anticyclone which trapped the emissions from the local
09:59copper world.
10:00One sink.
10:01Hmm.
10:01In the fog.
10:02In a few days, a number of people died.
10:05Twenty.
10:06And several thousand became seriously ill from the poisonous fog.
10:12After the incident, a cross-party delegation was sent to Donora on an urgent fact-finding mission.
10:18They recommended that clean air zones be set up all around London as a precautionary
10:22measure.
10:24Hmm.
10:25Hmm.
10:26I never saw the ripple.
10:27With good reason.
10:29Our Prime Minister threw it away.
10:31Claiming it wasn't a priority.
10:34Can you prove that?
10:36I can, Mr. Utley.
10:46The cabinet minutes while it was discussed.
10:55He's insisted the country keep burning coal irresponsibly this winter to give the illusion
11:01of a solid economy.
11:05This is great, Clem.
11:07It's interesting, for sure.
11:12What I don't understand is this.
11:16Why a Downing Street employee working for the government should come to me with this
11:22information.
11:24I've read the Aeneid, Mr. Thurman.
11:27Do not trust the horse, Trojans.
11:30I fear the Greeks, even when they bring gifts.
11:35Mr. Utley, I entered the civil service to serve the public and to serve governments.
11:41Any government.
11:43But I am also a responsible citizen and I cannot stand by when chaos reigns around me.
11:50This is not a government.
11:53Mr. Utley, this is a collection of hesitant, frightened old men unable to unseat a tyrannical,
12:02delusional even older one.
12:04Yours was the most radical, forward-thinking government this country has ever seen.
12:14How you lost the election escapes me.
12:18Hmm.
12:20Escapes us all.
12:24I believe I would be doing the British public and this country a service if I helped to
12:30usher him out of the door and you back in.
12:35And to that end, you come to me with a master plan that involves me crucifying the Tories
12:41for their failure to deal with a fog which as yet shows no sign of appearing.
12:50At present, I can see stars.
12:53I can see stars.
13:10I can see stars.
13:21I can see stars.
13:41Silence.
14:08Miss Cox, thank you for your
14:11conscientiousness but it's late. you're home. you're no good to be tired. good evening to you.
14:19what? still here? good night sir.
14:34evening Pat.
14:57you haven't moved. I suppose it's still a no. to what? coming out. you mean going to the lamb flag
15:09with you sitting at the bar?
15:11twinkling our ankles at every unremarkable young man in the room.
15:15then letting those men buy us enough drinks for us to bring them home.
15:18only to have their unremarkability confirmed to us again.
15:23no. thanks. goodness. and what will you be doing in the meantime?
15:30spend time in the company of someone remarkable. oh.
15:34hmm. ta-ra.
15:42hear this young men and women everywhere and proclaim it far and wide.
15:48the earth is yours and the fullness thereof.
15:53be kind but be fierce.
15:56you are needed now more than ever before.
15:59take up the mantle of change. for this is your time.
16:03time.
16:04time.
16:05time.
16:16time.
16:34time.
16:36time.
16:37time.
16:40time.
16:46time.
16:47time.
16:59time.
17:00the meteorological office has issued a statement saying that a persistent anti-cyclone over london is to blame.
17:06smoke from the capitol's chimneys is being trapped at street level which is aggravating the fog.
17:15windless conditions mean it is expected to last for some time.
17:19be careful out there.
17:20it's a real pea super.
17:31ah. is the car ready?
17:34i'm afraid the visibility is too poor to drive ma'am.
17:38it's what? 200 yards?
17:41it's been charged too hazardous ma'am.
17:47i have an appointment to see my grandmother.
17:51i intend to keep that appointment.
17:54if it's too hazardous to drive then there's only one thing to be done.
18:06you.
18:07i don't i promise you.
18:38I saw that.
18:41Might it be possible for you to pretend that you haven't?
18:45And the Queen is here, Your Majesty.
18:48Could you be more specific?
18:50Ma'am?
18:52Which Queen?
18:53Queen Elizabeth, ma'am.
18:55Which one? There are two.
18:57The young one.
18:58Oh, the Queen.
19:01I thought you was all Queens. They gave me a sheet.
19:04We are.
19:05I was the Queen so long as my husband the King was alive.
19:09But since he died, I'm no longer the Queen.
19:12I'm simply Queen Mary.
19:13My late son's widow was also the Queen.
19:17But upon the death of her husband, she became Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.
19:22Her daughter, Queen Elizabeth, is now Queen.
19:25So she is...
19:27The Queen.
19:29Bravo.
19:31Nurses and nuns have the same problem.
19:33We're all called sister.
19:36So you are.
19:38Well, she's outside.
19:40The Queen.
19:42Then let her in.
19:45Sister.
19:57Bad time?
19:58Not at all.
20:02How are you?
20:03I'm always happy to see you.
20:06And my mood will improve yet further if you promise me one thing.
20:10Name it.
20:10Not to ask me how I am.
20:12It's all anyone ever does.
20:14Forget death by lung disease.
20:16It's death by bad conversation.
20:19All right, I promise.
20:21But if you are feeling up to it,
20:23there was something I wanted to talk to you about.
20:26Fire away.
20:28Okay.
20:29Okay.
20:30Okay.
20:31Okay.
20:32Okay.
20:37I was listening to the wireless this morning.
20:41Where they described this fog as an act of God.
20:46Now, in your letter that you sent me,
20:50you said,
20:55loyalty to the ideal you have inherited
20:58is your duty above everything else.
21:01Because the calling comes from the highest source.
21:05From God himself.
21:07Yes.
21:10Do you really believe that?
21:14Monarchy is God's sacred mission
21:17to grace and dignify the earth.
21:19To give ordinary people an ideal to strive towards.
21:23An example of nobility and duty
21:25to raise them in their wretched lives.
21:28Monarchy is a calling from God.
21:32That is why you're crowned in an abbey,
21:35not a government building.
21:36Why you're anointed, not appointed.
21:38It's an archbishop that puts the crown on your head.
21:41Not a minister or public servant.
21:43Which means that you are answerable to God
21:47in your duty,
21:48not the public.
21:51I'm not sure that my husband would agree with that.
21:54He would argue that in any
21:57equitable modern society
21:59that church and state should be separated.
22:02That if God has servants,
22:04they're priests, not kings.
22:07He would also say that he
22:09watched his own family destroyed
22:11because they were seen by the people
22:12to embody indefensible and unreasonable ideas.
22:16Yes, but he represents a royal family
22:18of carpetbaggers and parvenues
22:20that goes back what?
22:22Ninety years.
22:24What would he know of Alfred the Great,
22:26the rod of equity and mercy,
22:28Edward the Confessor,
22:30William the Conqueror,
22:31Henry VIII?
22:33It's the Church of England, dear,
22:34not the Church of Denmark or Greece.
22:41Next question?
22:44It's chaos out there.
22:46Trains disrupted,
22:48air services cancelled.
22:50At Richmond Bridge this morning,
22:52visibility was officially measured at one yard.
22:55That's a record low, incidentally.
22:58Our Trojan friend in Downing Street
23:00has been speaking to his friends
23:02at the Met Office.
23:03They say this is just the beginning.
23:06They expect it to get worse.
23:08I know you would have me call
23:10a vote of no confidence
23:11and will doubtless call me
23:13over-cautious for not doing so.
23:15But the Prime Minister
23:17needs to be given a chance.
23:21Even if it's only to hang himself.
23:23Let's see how the old fool responds.
23:39there you go.
23:42Oh, God.
23:44Oh, my God.
24:05Morning.
24:05Good morning.
24:13I'm glad to see someone else made it in.
24:16No one saw this coming, did they?
24:19No.
24:27Prime Minister?
24:30Sir?
24:50Ah, you made it!
24:52Oh, I'm sorry, sorry, sir, I was just...
24:54No, no, you did well to get here.
24:56I gather half the Downing Street staff didn't.
24:59It wasn't easy.
25:01Just crossing the road, you take your life in your hands.
25:03Then don't, you're too important to all of us.
25:06Hardly.
25:07All I do is bring you things to sign
25:10and take them away again.
25:11And so the wheels keep turning
25:13and the business gets done
25:15and the country's governed.
25:21What's my personal contribution?
25:24Ah.
25:26You improve the quality of life
25:29for all that deal with you.
25:32An ornament.
25:34A flower.
25:37By comparison, at my age,
25:39you were a published writer
25:41and a cavalry officer posted to India
25:45fighting local tribesmen on the northwest frontier.
25:48Who told you that?
25:50You asked me to engage in a relationship
25:52with a young man my own age.
25:54So I've been reading your autobiography.
25:57That's not quite what I had in mind.
26:00Hear this, young men and women everywhere,
26:03and proclaim it far and wide.
26:05The earth is yours,
26:08and the fullness thereof.
26:11Be kind, but be fierce.
26:15You are needed now more than ever before.
26:19Take up the mantle of change.
26:21Stop.
26:22For this is your time.
26:28You were 24.
26:34All energy and hope
26:36and passion and fire.
26:40It's remarkable.
26:45You found something you liked
26:48in that young male?
26:52I did.
27:22Good morning.
27:23The time is 8 o'clock on the 7th of December,
27:26and here is the news.
27:29A serious fog
27:30that brought much of the capital
27:31to a standstill yesterday
27:32continues this morning
27:34with emergency services struggling to cope
27:36and widespread disruption reported across the nation.
27:41Flares are being used to guide motorists
27:43in parts of the capital.
27:45Trains are stopped
27:46while running hours behind schedule
27:48from major London railway stations.
27:52The Prime Minister is facing criticism
27:54and failure to deal with the mountain crisis.
27:58London airport is closed again today
28:00with all flights crowded.
28:02Yes.
28:03The unmoving fog,
28:04which has spread to over 30 miles wide,
28:07is likely to cause complete darkness
28:08by 2 o'clock this afternoon.
28:18No.
28:25You all right?
28:28You're not.
28:31Come on, let's get you up.
28:32No, no, I'm fine, I promise.
28:38It's just because the window is open.
28:41Now go to work, you've got a job to do.
28:52Let us start with the unrest in Egypt,
28:57where anti-colonial passions continue to run high
29:00and where our soldiers continue to come under fire
29:03from nationalist insurgents.
29:05It is vital that we remain
29:07and successfully defend the Suez Canal,
29:12a point that I will be making in person
29:14to the Commonwealth heads
29:16when I host them for the weekend at Chequers.
29:20Weather permitting?
29:23Indeed.
29:24What is the latest information that you have?
29:27About the weather?
29:29It's fog, ma'am.
29:32It will lift eventually.
29:33I was hoping for something more scientific.
29:37Then I will ensure that a barometric report
29:40is included in your box tomorrow,
29:43complete with isobars and isofumes.
29:48It has been an unusually cold winter,
29:51and there are only so many things
29:54that I, as Prime Minister,
29:55am prepared to inflict on your subjects
29:57as a reward for winning a world war
29:59and prevailing over fascism, evil, and tyranny.
30:04Letting them freeze is not one of them.
30:07You do not seem unduly concerned.
30:10I'm not.
30:11You do know that my late father wrote
30:13many years ago
30:15to your predecessors
30:17to express his deep concern
30:19about the inner-city power stations
30:20that your party was building.
30:25Indeed.
30:27And I was sympathetic
30:30with your father's concerns at the time.
30:33I also have sympathy
30:35with the leader articles
30:36in the newspapers today,
30:38begging for blood,
30:40wanting my head.
30:42People have to be angry at someone,
30:45but as leader,
30:48one cannot simply react
30:50to everything.
30:51We need the power stations.
30:53We need the coal.
30:55People need to burn coal
30:56to warm their homes.
30:58It is weather.
30:59It will pass.
31:01Well, I do hope so.
31:03Not least because
31:04my husband's mood is intolerable.
31:07Why?
31:09Well, being caged in like this,
31:11he can't fly.
31:14Fly where?
31:16Well, nowhere.
31:18He's learning to fly.
31:21Whatever for?
31:23Have we not enough qualified pilots
31:26to take him where he needs to go?
31:27No, he wants to fly himself.
31:30It's a boyhood dream.
31:31It's what he's always wanted.
31:33Why was government not consulted?
31:35Because it's a private matter.
31:36And I am in favor.
31:38Nothing you or his royal highness do
31:40is a private matter.
31:42And the father of the future king of England
31:44risking his life needlessly
31:46is quite unacceptable.
31:49Please do not curtail
31:50my husband's personal freedoms any further.
31:53You've taken away his home.
31:55You've taken away his name.
31:57There comes a time where
31:58one must draw a line in the sand.
32:00And the job of drawing that line
32:02falls to cabinet, ma'am,
32:03not to you.
32:05Something your dear late papa
32:06would certainly have taught you
32:08had he been granted more time
32:09to complete your education.
32:13And now our time is up.
32:20Until next week.
32:37Good morning.
32:39The time is 8 o'clock on the 8th of December
32:41and here is the news.
32:42The choking, eye-watering fog
32:45which has already caused
32:46two days of chaos across the capital
32:48has worsened overnight.
32:50The great coal-burning electricity stations
32:52in Battersea and Fulham
32:53have attempted to reduce emissions
32:55of poisonous sulfur dioxide
32:56from their chimneys
32:57but we've been told
32:59that it is unlikely
33:00they will be able to make
33:01any significant change
33:02to the air quality.
33:04The government is expected
33:05to make a statement
33:06later today.
33:17Come on.
33:18Let's get you to hospital.
33:20I'm fine.
33:21You're not.
33:22Come on.
33:23Let's get you up.
33:25Shoes.
33:34Off we go.
33:53I can't breathe.
33:55Do as I say
33:56and hold on to me.
33:57I can't breathe.
34:14I can't breathe.
34:14No, it's here.
34:16Watch down, ladies.
34:18It's here.
34:19Watch down.
34:23Go, go, go.
34:25Quick, hold my hand.
34:28Don't worry.
34:30You're all right.
34:39my wife
34:51control of this story is getting away from us
34:55the opposition's blood is up
34:57we have to respond
34:59respond how?
35:00I would suggest by commissioning a public inquiry.
35:04An inquiry would be expensive.
35:09Winston people are angry.
35:11They see us as the culprits.
35:13Culpable for what? It's fog.
35:16Fog is fog.
35:17It comes and it goes away.
35:20Well, I'm glad that the Prime Minister finds time for liberty.
35:24Perhaps I should remind him exactly how serious the situation has now become.
35:28This morning, a suburban twain collided with a gang of well-wing workmen,
35:33killing several and injuring a great many more.
35:36In part of the capital, there is now a total breakdown in law and order.
35:40Hospitals are filling up as our citizens are breathing in poisonous sulfur dioxide.
35:54Sometimes we have sunshine.
35:58Too much sunshine, and they call it a drought.
36:01Then we have rain.
36:03Too much rain, and they call it a deluge.
36:06And find a way to blame us for that, too.
36:08It's an act of God, Bobbity.
36:11It's weather.
36:12And for better or for worse, we get a great deal of it on this island.
36:16Frankly, there are more pressing matters to deal with.
36:20Like what?
36:20The Duke of Edinburgh.
36:26The Duke of Edinburgh.
36:50Bobbsy.
36:51Thanks for taking my call, Diggie.
36:54Are you there home?
36:56Yes.
36:57Can anyone overhear what you're saying?
37:03No.
37:05Good.
37:09It's chaos.
37:10I know. The ward is full, every corridor too.
37:14Most of the doctors are sick now.
37:15Those that are well can't get in.
37:17It was better than this in the ward.
37:19What do you need? More equipment?
37:21Or masks?
37:22Masks are bloody useless.
37:23They're just for show to make it look like the government's doing something.
37:26Then what is needed?
37:27Money.
37:28People.
37:29Trained staff.
37:30Help is what is needed urgently.
37:33Better rest for now.
37:38Maybe I could put a word in with the people who make a difference.
37:42Such as?
37:43The Prime Minister, for example.
37:46Oh, I see you're just going to walk into Downing Street and whisper in his ear.
37:49Yes.
37:50Something like that.
37:51You know, my day's bad enough without some delusional girl playing jokes.
37:55Now, excuse me.
37:57Dad.
37:58Dad.
38:00I'll show you.
38:00I'll show you.
38:02I'll show you.
38:02Look away!
38:03Here he goes!
38:10I've seen you.
38:12Where are you?
38:13Oh, here!
38:14I'm out of here.
38:19Oh!
38:20Oh!
38:29I need to go!
38:38How much longer you're gonna give the old man the majority is tiny a vote of no confidence and he'll
38:43be toppled
38:46You know what he calls you
38:49Yes, I know sheep in sheep's clothing
38:55Perhaps it's time to approve you're not
39:03Very well, let's put a motion down on paper and brief the whips
39:20Thank you, sir
39:36Anything interesting?
39:39Yes
39:40Care to share it?
39:44No
39:46I'd be happy to share glide ratios and adiabatic lapse rates with you as part of a quid pro quo
39:51arrangement
39:52One glide ratio in return for some cabinet minutes for example
39:57No
39:59A dihedral angle or an absolute ceiling. These are very interesting concepts Elizabeth
40:04You might learn something in exchange for a foreign office briefing
40:09Am I going to have to explain my position again?
40:12No
40:13Good
40:17Once you have tasted flight
40:19You will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward for there you have been and there you will
40:24always long to return
40:27You know what's remarkable about those words
40:32Go on
40:33They were written 300 years before man first got in a plane
40:37Leonardo da Vinci
40:42Look, Philip, I know
40:47Lord Manbatten, your majesty
40:49Uncle Dickie, what's he doing here?
40:51I know as much as you do
40:52He said it was important, that
40:54Thank you
41:00Elizabeth
41:05Hello
41:06Came as soon as I could
41:09So
41:12Oh, is
41:13Is this a meeting with Elizabeth, your niece?
41:16My wife
41:17Or the queen
41:19Latter, I'm afraid
41:20Right
41:20I don't know my place
41:31What's the matter with him?
41:34Nothing
41:36He's just feeling a little grounded
41:39Ignore it
41:41Right
41:42All ears
41:42I
41:43I
41:44Received
41:45A telephone call today from Robert E. Salisbury
41:49It seems that even among his own people the feeling is that our prime minister is not able to deal
41:54with a national crisis
41:57Indeed he could be seen to be responsible for that crisis
42:02Hospitals overflowing people dying
42:04Well, as sovereign
42:07You have the right to demand that a government in your name shows effective leadership
42:13The opposition are now calling for a motion of no confidence
42:17So
42:20I would say
42:21The time has come for you to
42:25Summon Churchill and
42:29And what?
42:32Insist that he go
42:36I
42:37Can't do that
42:38You can
42:39And should
42:41But
42:42Wouldn't that violate the constitution?
42:45As
42:47Queen
42:50You have the right to be consulted
42:54The right to encourage
42:57The right to warn
42:59Also
43:00To appoint a new prime minister in the event of incapacity
43:04And many would say that Churchill's behavior now
43:08Constitutes incapacity
43:11Then a revolution must come from within
43:13They are trying
43:15Well, then they must try harder
43:16They will
43:18But
43:19Would prefer it to be bloodless
43:22So have asked for your help
43:25And influence
43:28I cannot do it
43:30I will not do it
43:32Let's
43:32Not forget
43:33It was Churchill
43:35Who denied Philip's children his own surname
43:37Dickie
43:38And insisted that you live in Buckingham Palace
43:40As alas did everyone else
43:41And now with looters on the street
43:44And hospital corridors stacked with the dead
43:46He is interested in only one thing
43:50Stopping Philip flying
43:55What?
43:56At a crisis cabinet meeting this morning
43:58When there should have only been one thing on the agenda
44:00The unfolding national emergency
44:04All our prime minister wanted to discuss
44:08Was your husband's new hobby
44:15I'm so sorry sir
44:16Who are her parents?
44:19Her father is a clergyman from Suffolk
44:21I've been noticed
44:22I want to go to the hospital
44:23There is an emergency meeting at the house
44:25The meeting you must attend
44:27The house can wait
44:39You wish to see me your majesty
44:40Yes Tommy
44:45I know how much my father depended on you
44:49And how closely you worked together
44:52Which is why I wanted to ask your advice
44:56It seems our prime minister
44:58A man who's led the country through many crises
45:02Is no longer leading us at all
45:07Representations have been made to me
45:09Through an intermediary from the heart of the government
45:13To intercede
45:15And bid and stand down
45:18Make way for a younger man
45:22Which brings me to my question
45:26What are my responsibilities
45:29As head of state?
45:33What should I do?
45:35When it's in the national interest
45:37How far dare I go?
45:42I'm not sure if her majesty is aware
45:45But shortly before your father died
45:48The foreign secretary, Mr. Eaton, came
45:51Begging his late majesty to intervene
45:54If not on an official level
45:57Then on a personal one
45:58As a friend
46:00To bid the prime minister to resign
46:03What did my father say?
46:06Well, his majesty was like his father before him
46:09A stickler for convention and tradition
46:12And would never have done anything
46:13That violated the constitution
46:15Or overstepped the mark
46:20Then I have my answer
46:21But that was his majesty
46:24Not your majesty
46:26And I do read the newspapers
46:27And I do listen to the wireless
46:30And the situation we're in today
46:31Is quite different
46:33Than the one we were in
46:34When Mr. Eaton came to see your father
46:39Different situation
46:41Different sovereign
46:53Wait for me here
46:55Wait for me here
47:22We'll get you seen us soon.
47:56Sir?
48:00Just a child.
48:04A beautiful child.
48:08I just received word from Buckingham Palace.
48:11Oh, no.
48:12The Queen has requested an audience.
48:14When?
48:15At your earliest convenience.
48:21All energy and hope and passion and fire.
48:31Sir?
48:34Damn it, he is.
48:43Did the newspapers know I'm here?
48:46No.
48:49But it could easily be arranged.
48:52Then do it.
48:54And tell the Queen I'll be their first thing in the morning.
49:00After the papers.
49:22I'll be right back to the papers.
49:23I'll be right back to the papers.
49:23I'll be right back to the papers.
49:25I'll be right back to the papers.
49:26I'll be right back to the papers.
49:28I'll be right back to the papers.
49:30I'll be right back to the papers.
49:31I'll be right back to the papers.
49:31I'll be right back to the papers.
49:31I'll be right back to the papers.
49:39Thank God.
49:42Oh, sorry.
49:43Come on, actually.
49:46I managed to get worse.
49:52Just come on, the Prime Minister will be here in a few moments.
49:55Let's go.
50:11Is there anything, sir?
50:13Yeah, yeah.
50:13Quiet, please! Set them down!
50:26Mr. Churchill!
50:28I have witnessed scenes here today,
50:32the likes of which we have not seen since the darkest days of the Blitz.
50:39But alongside the suffering, I've also seen heroism.
50:44And where there is heroism, there will always be hope.
50:51Only God can lift the fog.
50:55But I, as Prime Minister, am in a position to ease the suffering.
51:02To that end, I pledge to make available with immediate effect
51:07more money for hospital staff, more money for equipment,
51:13and a full and independent public inquiry into the causes of air pollution
51:19to ensure that such a calamity may never befall us again.
51:29Thank you all.
51:37The Prime Minister was alone among senior politicians to visit hospitals
51:41and respond to the crisis in person,
51:44and was rewarded by cheers and applause
51:46by those suffering through the worst smog this city has ever witnessed.
51:50And the headline reads,
51:53True leader in a crisis.
52:00Ma'am, the Prime Minister's here.
52:04The parallels between his appearance yesterday and the wartime years were striking.
52:10And his personal popularity among the people remains undimmed.
52:17Hello?
52:19Clem, you still there?
52:21Hello?
52:23Clem?
52:26Clem, can you hear me?
52:28No?
52:31No.
53:20CHOIR SINGS
53:42CHOIR SINGS
54:02CHOIR SINGS
54:03There's a delicate matter
54:04which I felt I needed to discuss with you
54:08in person.
54:10Concerning what?
54:14Your position.
54:18My position?
54:20Yes, your position
54:26as Prime Minister.
54:32Go on.
54:38At that point
54:39she hesitated
54:41and then she asked me
54:43to pick either
54:45Kwajgi
54:45Nazimudin
54:47of Pakistan
54:47or Sydney Holland
54:49of New Zealand.
54:50Whatever for?
54:52To sit next to
54:53at dinner.
54:55She summoned you for that?
54:58Oh, I know.
54:58I think she summoned me
55:00to haul me over the coals
55:01for my handling of the fog.
55:03But then the fog lifted
55:05and she had to make a decision
55:07right then and there
55:08in the room.
55:09You could see
55:09the wheels turning
55:11behind her eyes.
55:12And then she switched
55:14a tack
55:14without so much
55:15as a flicker.
55:17Clever.
55:19No, no.
55:20Not clever.
55:20Ingenious.
55:21Why?
55:21Because it disarmed me
55:23and made me
55:24switch tack too.
55:26What about?
55:27About allowing
55:28Philip to learn to fly.
55:30He can now.
55:32Good.
55:34But he still has
55:35to ask cabinet permission
55:36to do rolls
55:37and spins.
55:49What, dear girl?
55:53Well, what if
55:54the fog hadn't lifted?
55:58And the government
55:59had continued to flounder.
56:01And people had
56:02continued to die.
56:04And Churchill
56:05had continued
56:06to cling to power
56:07and the country
56:08had continued to suffer.
56:10It doesn't feel right
56:12as head of state
56:13to do nothing.
56:15It is exactly right.
56:18Is it?
56:19But surely doing nothing
56:21is no job at all?
56:23To do nothing
56:24is the hardest job of all.
56:26And it will take
56:27every ounce of energy
56:28that you have.
56:30To be impartial
56:31is not natural,
56:32not human.
56:34People will always
56:35want you to smile
56:36or agree
56:37or frown
56:38and the minute you do
56:39you will have declared
56:40a position,
56:41a point of view.
56:42And that is the one thing
56:43as sovereign
56:44that you are not
56:46entitled to do.
56:48The less you do,
56:50the less you say
56:51or agree
56:52or smile
56:53or think
56:54or feel
56:54or breathe
56:55or exist.
56:56The better.
57:01Well, that's fine
57:02for the sovereign.
57:06But where does that
57:07leave me?
57:22So, come on.
57:23How long would it take me
57:24to get my wings?
57:25Well, normally a trainee
57:27would spend anything
57:27between 100 and 120 hours
57:29in one of these things.
57:31Do you think I could do it
57:31in three months?
57:33That would be unusual.
57:35I'm a false learner
57:37and believe me
57:38when I say
57:38I've got nothing else
57:39to do.
57:55I couldn't have noticed
57:57you've still got a write-up.
57:58Starboard and port.
57:5918 gallons.
58:00Yes.
58:01Fancy lunch in Edinburgh.
58:03Edinburgh?
58:03They made me duke there
58:05so I should probably
58:06show up from time to time
58:07unless you have
58:08more pressing engagements.
58:09No, sir.
58:10All right.
58:11I'll adjust rpms
58:13and cruising speed
58:14for range flying.
58:15We'll have to land
58:16to refuel, sir.
58:18Oh, really?
58:19Where's that?
58:20Donkester.
58:21Donkester?
58:23Right.
58:28You're out.
58:37You're out.
