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, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:13Twelve 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?
00:02:25Oh.
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.
00:03:17I won't deny it.
00:03:19I won't deny it.
00:03:20I won't deny it.
00:03:22I won't deny it.
00:03:23And for you?
00:03:32It was only you.
00:03:47In many ways, it was wonderful.
00:03:47No, I won't deny it.
00:03:47There was only a few people and he should have watched her step.
00:03:47I won't deny it.
00:03:48But that's so true.
00:03:49I can't believe it.
00:03:49I can't believe it.
00:03:49I won't deny it.
00:03:50It's a good one.
00:03:50I can find someone.
00:03:51It's a good one.
00:03:55I really do not know the most.
00:03:55It was a good one of the people who are kind of brilliant.
00:03:59I can find someone who's in the closest place.
00:03:59I cannot leave.
00:04:01You're a good one.
00:04:10I need a bit.
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.
00:14:15Hey, I can tell you, I can tell you.
00:14:16Oh, no, don't be silly.
00:14:20I can tell you.
00:14:54It's so clever, I know, I know.
00:15:26I remember getting the phone call from your father when he was born, by Hyperion, out of Angelola.
00:15:33Yes, we gave him his first milk, remember?
00:15:37Watching 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, and his favourite horse.
00:15:54So, what's next, Rajan?
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, four?
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.
00:16:30Well, I'm surprised to hear you turning down the opportunity of going to America.
00:16:36Why?
00:16:38Well, that's where your girlfriend's from, isn't it?
00:16:42Fiancee.
00:16:44Fiancee?
00:16:45Goodness.
00:16:49Who is she?
00:16:51Money, I hope, so you can keep up 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.
00:18:01Oh.
00:18:03The one you let get away.
00:18:06What?
00:18:07And who's carried a torch for you?
00:18:09Poor she.
00:18:10Oh.
00:18:11Nonsense.
00:18:12He 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.
00:18:29Fourses aren't an interest for you, they're a passion.
00:18:32A passion your husband doesn't share.
00:18:34He has other passions.
00:18:37So I hear.
00:18:41I hear.
00:18:51I hear.
00:18:52I hear.
00:18:54I hear.
00:19:06Good 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.
00:19:55I have more important things to do.
00:20:01Very well.
00:20:07At some point,
00:20:09every leader must ask himself whether by staying in office,
00:20:15he is giving to the country,
00:20:17or taking from it.
00:20:19Or taking from it.
00:20:19Helping.
00:20:20Or harming.
00:20:23And I would suggest that for some time now,
00:20:27you have been taking and harming.
00:20:31And therefore I come to you, in the name of the party and 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 nine years ago when you lost us the election.
00:20:49And I have since avenged that defeat by winning us the last election.
00:20:53I won a set, Winston!
00:20:55I won that!
00:21:01People voted conservative in the clear expectation
00:21:05that you would give way to me.
00:21:07That is such rubbish!
00:21:09They voted conservative because 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 after an operation.
00:21:31Spoken by a man who, only two months ago, was 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 of your former self.
00:21:44That when you walk, the pills rattle around inside of you.
00:21:48I have something that you will never see again.
00:21:53A clean bill of health and a stallion said the same.
00:21:57He died robbering on the floor!
00:22:01Mr. Sutherland is here.
00:22:04Hello, Anthony.
00:22:05Anthony was just leaving.
00:22:08Hello, Timmy.
00:22:11Yes, I was, uh...
00:22:15Just leaving.
00:22:17Here we are.
00:22:19Morning.
00:22:21Morning.
00:22:22This is my wife, Kathleen.
00:22:24She assists me sometime.
00:22:26Hope you don't mind.
00:22:27Him.
00:22:38Fire.
00:22:52Let's go.
00:22:52God.
00:22:52No man.
00:22:53God!
00:22:54I've never seen you.
00:22:54That's fair.
00:22:55It's my wife.
00:22:56I'll have a lie.
00:22:59Over here.
00:23:07What's that you're using?
00:23:09Pencil.
00:23:10Yeah, but 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?
00:23:4915?
00:23:5160!
00:23:53Of course, I'm just a hobbyist.
00:23:56An enthusiast.
00:23:58Of a major artist like your husband.
00:24:03Taking his time.
00:24:07Over here.
00:24:08I don't know that.
00:24:20I'm just looking for a long time.
00:24:25You've been so excited and I'm just a bit sick.
00:24:25I'm so excited.
00:24:27I'm grateful for taking my face.
00:24:27You're so excited.
00:24:28You're so excited.
00:24:38I did a little reading about you, Mr. Sutherland, after our last session.
00:24:44Did you?
00:24:44Yeah, quite 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.
00:24:55But 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, I quite understand.
00:25:28How is it, Mrs. Sutherland?
00:25:31It has truth.
00:25:35Am I to be allowed a peek?
00:25:37No.
00:25:38Why not?
00:25:40I could give you advice.
00:25:42After all, I know this face better than you do.
00:25:45If you've made the neck too thick or the arms too long, I can tell you.
00:25:50I find in general people who 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?
00:26:02Certainly.
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.
00:26:18The 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 it?
00:26:45Getting 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 with regard to Oriole.
00:26:59Although I'm numerically dyslexic, runs in the family, I'm afraid, like 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 Ā£40,000.
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 Warfelton'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?
00:27:49Top 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 express of 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.
00:28:06For a horse hump.
00:28:09Yes.
00:28:11So what might you earn, then, over the course of the year?
00:28:14Well, in one year alone, Oriole might cover 40 mares, making about Ā£16,000.
00:28:22Good for him.
00:28:24In the course of his lifetime at the stud, he might sire 500, 600 foals, making me over
00:28:30Ā£200,000.
00:28:32Creating an entire generation of offspring?
00:28:34Yes.
00:28:36Father to all the foals in our stables and any other stable that could afford him?
00:28:40Yes.
00:28:42Oh, I see.
00:28:42So in time, every horse out there could somehow be related to Oriole.
00:28:50Yes, I suppose so.
00:28:53Like 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.
00:29:13An 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.
00:29:26A numerical 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.
00:29:50Let me have a look at you.
00:29:53Marvellous.
00:29:53Shall we?
00:29:54Come on.
00:29:54You look beautiful.
00:29:56Mm-hmm.
00:30:04Good night.
00:30:16Bye.
00:30:17I was not.
00:30:25I was just like a brownie.
00:30:26Let's go.
00:30:56Let's go.
00:31:26Let's go.
00:31:30Let's go.
00:31:31How is it?
00:31:31Too bad, sir.
00:31:32Good morning.
00:31:45Good morning.
00:31:47Morning.
00:31:48Good morning.
00:32:00Good morning.
00:32:02Good morning.
00:32:11Good morning.
00:32:12Since this is to be our final session, they wanted us to be all alone.
00:32:21in silence preferably yes yes i'll be a good boy
00:32:33i quite understand the need for concentration painting the picture is like fighting a battle
00:32:41a bloody battle in the gladiatorial fight to the death the artist either wins or loses
00:32:51are you winning i hope so
00:32:56you think i'll like it i think that's possibly too much to ask for but i do take comfort from
00:33:03the fact that your own work is so honest and revealing
00:33:17are there any works that you're referring to in particular i was thinking especially
00:33:23of the goldfish pond here at chartma the pond why the pond it's just a pond it's very much
00:33:31more than that as borne out by the fact that you've returned to it again and again more
00:33:36twenty times well yes because it's such a technical challenge it eludes me
00:33:42well perhaps you elude yourself sir that's why it's more revealing than a self-portrait
00:33:48oh that's nonsense it's the water the the play of light the the trickery and the fish and down below
00:33:59i think all our work is unintentionally revealing and i found it especially so with your pond
00:34:04beneath the tranquility 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 to see something beneath all the muted colors deep down
00:34:22in the water
00:34:25terrible despair
00:34:27hiding like a leviathan like a sea monster
00:34:31you saw all that yes i did
00:34:37perhaps that says more about you than me
00:34:41perhaps
00:34:46may i ask you a question mr sutherland
00:34:49hmm it's about one of your paintings
00:34:52the one you call pastoral
00:34:55with all that
00:34:58gnarled and twisted wood
00:35:01those great ugly dabs of black
00:35:04i found something
00:35:08malevolent in it
00:35:10where did that come from
00:35:13well it's very perceptive that was uh
00:35:16it was a very dark time my 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
00:36:00yes
00:36:00four
00:36:03marigold
00:36:04was the fifth
00:36:07she left us at age
00:36:09two years nine months
00:36:11septicemia
00:36:12i'm so sorry i had no idea
00:36:18we settled on the name marigold
00:36:22on account of her
00:36:24her wonderful golden curls
00:36:26the most extraordinary color
00:36:32regretfully
00:36:33though perhaps mercifully
00:36:35i i i was not present
00:36:37when she died
00:36:39when i came home
00:36:42lemmy
00:36:45roared like a wounded animal
00:36:55we bought chartwell
00:36:58a year after marigold died
00:37:03that was when i put in
00:37:05the pond
00:37:36here
00:37:54Oh.
00:37:59It's a pleasure.
00:38:07I look forward to seeing it.
00:38:50Hello.
00:38:51Hello.
00:38:53Shall we?
00:38:55Yes.
00:39:00Given 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 fall.
00:39:11One needs to be prepared to wait for the perfect peril.
00:39:14Shall we?
00:39:14Oh, no, girl.
00:39:15Meet Neocracy.
00:39:17Oh.
00:39:17The Aga Khan.
00:39:18Indeed.
00:39:19Yes.
00:39:20Recently retired, with a good record as a winner.
00:39:22Lovely temperament.
00:39:24My only concern would be, is she perhaps a little too...
00:39:28Special.
00:39:29I worry that if we left least through to it, nothing would ever happen.
00:39:33Which is why I've also called up Turkish blood.
00:39:36As you can see, an altogether different proposition.
00:39:39Indeed.
00:39:40Strong, willful, with a terrific track record herself.
00:39:43Really would be breathing the best with the best.
00:39:46I'm sensing a bash.
00:39:48Through memory, your Oriel is something of a sensitive soul.
00:39:52That hit him to be intimidated or come unstuck and faced with 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.
00:40:19I must say, I do like this one.
00:40:22Would appear the feeling is mutual.
00:40:26Oh, no.
00:40:29Telegrams have been pouring into Dining Street today
00:40:32to wish Sir Winston Churchill a happy 80th birthday
00:40:36on this, the 30th of November.
00:40:38They come from all parts of the globe.
00:40:44Happy birthday, that darling old pug.
00:40:56Happy birthday to you.
00:40:58Happy birthday to you.
00:41:02Happy birthday to you.
00:41:05Happy birthday to you.
00:41:07Happy birthday to you.
00:41:13Happy birthday to you.
00:41:15Happy birthday to you.
00:41:15Happy birthday to you.
00:41:15Happy birthday to you.
00:41:16Happy birthday to you.
00:41:17Happy birthday to you.
00:41:17Happy birthday to you.
00:41:17Happy birthday to you.
00:41:17Happy birthday to you.
00:41:18Happy birthday to you.
00:41:21Happy birthday to you.
00:41:42Oh, is it time?
00:41:43It is, Bob.
00:41:44Right.
00:41:53Booze it down, Michael.
00:41:54Thank you, Bob.
00:41:55Westminster Hall, silent witness of nearly a thousand years of history, was the scene
00:42:00of the birthday presentations to Sir Winston.
00:42:56I 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, resignation
00:43:27is 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.
00:43:59Oh 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
00:44:11modernist, one has to ask oneself, is it a gift?
00:44:18Or 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, and that his portrait was not just of me, but of the office
00:44:45I represent, indeed, of our entire system of government.
00:44:50So, at long last, I look forward to unveiling this painting.
00:45:31A fine patriotic piece of modern art.
00:45:35A 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, it'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, and 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, and an unpatriotic, treacherous, cowardly assault by the individualistic left.
00:47:06As regards 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.
00:49:13I think you should go.
00:49:22I think you should go.
00:49:23He's right.
00:49:25What?
00:49:27I am that man in the painting.
00:49:31Wretched and decaying.
00:49:34And I cannot go on.
00:49:37I've said that before.
00:49:42And this time I mean it.
00:49:44I'm tired.
00:49:46I'm tired.
00:49:49You've had enough.
00:49:53I have, my love.
00:49:59This time, I really have.
00:50:02Good.
00:50:19Good.
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.
00:50:57Prayed, no doubt.
00:51:06You really have been the most remarkable servant to your country.
00:51:09Thank you, ma'am.
00:51:10No, Winston.
00:51:12On behalf of us all.
00:51:21And you wish for Mr. Eden to take over?
00:51:23I do.
00:51:24Well, that will make him happy.
00:51:25Well, for a day or two, he might even stop cursing me.
00:51:31Then he will be overwhelmed by a job in which no man can ever succeed, and curse me again for
00:51:38leaving it to him.
00:51:41It might be an idea not to tell him that before he starts.
00:51:44No, ma'am.
00:51:48No, ma'am.
00:51:49So...
00:51:51This is our last audience?
00:51:53Oh, yeah.
00:52:02Yes.
00:52:08However, will I cope without you?
00:52:11You will be fine, ma'am.
00:52:15I have nothing more to teach you.
00:52:18Which is why it's time for me to leave.
00:52:30No matches, Tim.
00:52:44No matches, Tim.
00:53:17It's time for you to be alive.
00:53:22I have nothing more to do.
00:53:22It's time for you to be alive.
00:53:22I have nothing more to do.
00:53:22I have nothing more to do.
00:53:23Stop.
00:53:53Stop.
00:54:07Renaming London Airport?
00:54:09I 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.
00:54:23It would be quite a compliment.
00:54:25You and Philip go there for dinner.
00:54:28I'll ask Philip.
00:54:30No, you'll tell Philip.
00:54:33Dinner? Downing Street, oh God.
00:54:36Why not?
00:54:39Does she look anything?
00:54:42I mean, if I were a stallion, would I fancy her?
00:54:46Attraction isn't so much about looks.
00:54:49Smell.
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.
00:55:05Shhh.
00:55:06Shhh.
00:55:06Will you please?
00:55:08Be quiet.
00:55:10Yeah, look.
00:55:11Here we go.
00:55:12All right.
00:55:14You all right?
00:55:15Yeah.
00:55:17Hold her steady.
00:55:19Ready?
00:55:23Oh, I say.
00:55:28Over here.
00:55:32Back off.
00:55:34Good.
00:55:36Good guy.
00:55:38Good boy.
00:55:40Is that it?
00:55:41Mike.
00:55:44Two thousand guineas for that.
00:55:46As long as he's done what he needs to do, and it bears fruit, I don't mind.
00:55:50Well done, Portche.
00:55:54Yes, indeed.
00:55:56Well done, Portche.
00:55:58I hear he's been given a direct line.
00:56:01Who?
00:56:02Portche, so he can call straight in.
00:56:04I know only because I tried to get one for Mike and was refused.
00:56:08Yes.
00:56:09On account of him not being a family member.
00:56:12Portche is like family.
00:56:13Is he?
00:56:15Yes.
00:56:16Part of the furniture.
00:56:19Well, as long as you don't sit on him many times too.
00:56:31Well, that all seemed to go well.
00:56:35Yes, it did, isn't it?
00:56:38You're right.
00:56:42Mmm.
00:57:08Can you leave us now, please?
00:57:11Yes, ma'am.
00:57:28I have nothing to hide from you.
00:57:31Nothing.
00:57:34Portche 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
00:57:57the 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
00:58:44my lords ladies and gentlemen dear winston and lady churchill
00:58:56my confidence in sir anthony is complete
00:59:01and i know he will lead the country onto great achievements
00:59:06but it would be useless to pretend
00:59:08that either he or any of those successors
00:59:11who may one day follow him in office
00:59:14will ever for me be able to hold the place
00:59:18of my first prime minister to whom my husband and i
00:59:23owe so much
00:59:26and for whose wise guidance during the early years of my reign
00:59:31i shall always be so profoundly grateful
00:59:40i will remember you always
00:59:43your magnanimity
00:59:45your courage
00:59:47at all times
00:59:55and for your unfailing humor
00:59:57founded in your unrivaled mastery
01:00:01of the english language
01:00:05i take comfort
01:00:06from the fact
01:00:07that in losing my constitutional advisor
01:00:13i gain
01:00:14a wise counselor
01:00:19to whom i shall look
01:00:21for help
01:00:21and support
01:00:23in the days which lie ahead
01:00:33may there be many of them
01:00:34may there be many of them
01:00:36many of them
