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.
00:03:32It was only you.
00:03:34It was only you.
00:03:45BIRDS CHIRP
00:04:09Elizabeth.
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
00:08:04Put 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
00:08:21Thank you
00:08:37Thank you
00:08:38Hello
00:08:38Porchy
00:08:39I hope I'm not disturbing
00:08:42Goodness
00:08:43Am I disturbing?
00:08:47No
00:08:47Good
00:08:48It'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
00:08:56But we both know he doesn't hold up naturally
00:08:59We tried holding him up against Darius before
00:09:01And Darius won
00:09:03That was the guineas
00:09:04Which is a mile
00:09:06This is the King George
00:09:07A 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
00:09:23Can I just say one more time
00:09:25For the record
00:09:28I think we should start fast
00:09:30And run at a 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
00:09:46Oh dear, such as?
00:09:48Good night
00:10:29Mr. Sutherland, Prime Minister
00:10:30Good morning
00:10:32How do you do?
00:10:33Good morning, hello
00:10:33How do you do?
00:10:34Good morning
00:10:35How do you do, sir?
00:10:36It's an honour
00:10:37I don't know
00:10:37The honour is mine
00:10:45So where do you want me?
00:10:51So
00:10:52Will we be engaged in flattery or reality?
00:10:57Are you going to paint me as a cherub or a bulldog?
00:11:01I imagine there are a great number of Mr. Churchills
00:11:04Yes, indeed there are
00:11:06Well
00:11:08As you search for him
00:11:09Perhaps I can implore you not to feel the need to be too accurate
00:11:14Why? Accuracy is truth
00:11:16No
00:11:16For 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
00:11:38And I wish there wasn't a factory in the background
00:11:40I leave the factory 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
00:11:59Then I shall do some charcoal sketches
00:12:01Studies 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
00:12:16Is this, do you mind?
00:12:18Perfect, all right, carry on
00:12:21You, uh, what pose are you thinking of?
00:12:27Seated
00:12:30A good right standing
00:12:32It 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
00:12:45Four score years, Winston
00:12:47Yeah
00:12:49I think seated is more senatorial
00:12:53Senatorial
00:12:55What nonsense
00:13:00Yes, I agree
00:13:09Cigar or no cigar?
00:13:13No cigar
00:13:14Garter robes
00:13:15No garter robes
00:13:17No finery
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
00:13:38Well, he's rather a wow
00:13:41A wow?
00:13:43Tall and handsome
00:13:45Saturnine
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
00:13:57Besides, 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
00:14:07Through gritted teeth
00:14:10I have the protective instincts of a loving wife
00:14:13And I can tell you this one is not an assassin
00:14:15No, no, don't be silly
00:14:34Stay the young people
00:14:54It's so clever.
00:14:56I 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.
00:16:10If you were 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 stud.
00:16:30Well, I'm surprised to hear you turn 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.
00:16:46Hmm.
00:16:49Who is she?
00:16:51Money, I hope, so you can keep up the stables.
00:16:53Actually, she's a Portsman.
00:16:55Oh dear, 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.
00:17:31What?
00:17:56Hello?
00:18:01Oh, the one you let get away.
00:18:06What?
00:18:07He's always carried a torch for you.
00:18:09What, 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, that's when the nonsense comes out.
00:18:26Besides, you have interests in common.
00:18:29The forces 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.
00:19:06Sir, good morning.
00:19:12The foreign secretary is here, sir.
00:19:14Shall I show him in?
00:19:16No.
00:19:18Not here.
00:19:32I'm sorry 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
00:20:26you have been
00:20:28taking
00:20:29and 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.
00:20:43Yeah, at 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
00:20:53the 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
00:21:11stomach 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
00:21:24to the left is growing.
00:21:26Be careful, Anthony.
00:21:27Too much excitement
00:21:28is not good for one
00:21:29so soon after an operation.
00:21:31Spoken by a man who
00:21:32only 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
00:21:42a shadow
00:21:42of your former self
00:21:44that when you walk
00:21:45the pills
00:21:46rattle around
00:21:47inside of you.
00:21:48I have something
00:21:49that you'll never see again.
00:21:52A clean bill
00:21:54of health.
00:21:55A stallion
00:21:56said the same.
00:21:57He died
00:21:58wrothling on the floor.
00:22:01Mr. Sutherland is here.
00:22:04Hello, Anthony.
00:22:05Anthony was just leaving.
00:22:08Pillow penny.
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.
00:22:23She assists me sometime
00:22:26hope you don't mind.
00:22:27Shh, shh, shh.
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.
00:23:16Not sure.
00:23:18It's a 6B.
00:23:21And on what paper?
00:23:23Drawing paper.
00:23:24I gave a heavyweight cotton.
00:23:25A cold-pressed, decal-edged, sized with gelatine.
00:23:36How many paintings has your husband complete in a year, Mrs Sutherland?
00:23:41Three or four.
00:23:44Would you care to guess how many I average?
00:23:47Ten?
00:23:50Fifteen?
00:23:51Sixty.
00:23:52Oh, no.
00:23:53Of course, I'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.
00:24:09Move.
00:24:21He has a hobbyist.
00:24:21Hangs.
00:24:25Hold.
00:24:26Fire.
00:24:26holistic.
00:24:26Okay.
00:24:27Over here.
00:24:28Good job.
00:24:28Yep.
00:24:32Over here.
00:24:33Go.
00:24:37Do smell the Gone ALso.
00:24:38Over here.
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.
00:24:54Yeah, but 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.
00:25:08I quite understand.
00:25:28How is it, Mrs. Sutherland?
00:25:32It has truth.
00:25:35Am I to be allowed a peek?
00:25:37No.
00:25:38Well, why 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, the 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, freedom.
00:26:18You're painting the highest ideals of government and leadership.
00:26:22You're painting the highest ideals of government and leadership.
00:26:23Just remember that.
00:26:34Yes?
00:26:36Lord Porchester, Your Majesty.
00:26:40Plug in.
00:26:42Porchy.
00:26:43What a palaver.
00:26:44What is?
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, it 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.
00:27:04I 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 Wolferton's stud 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.
00:27:47Dollar.
00:27:48What 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 expressive.
00:27:58What is ultimately...
00:27:59I know what it is.
00:28:00A shag?
00:28:01A cover.
00:28:02A cover?
00:28:04Yes, that's the correct term.
00:28:06For a 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, making 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 foals, making me over 200,000
00:28:31pounds.
00:28:31Creating an entire generation of offspring.
00:28:34Yes.
00:28:36Father to all the fells 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 Aurel.
00:28:49Yes, 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?
00:29:10Oh, that he'd had so many affairs.
00:29:13An entire generation of British aristocrats was related to him.
00:29:16An illegitimate Porchy.
00:29:19In every great house in the land,
00:29:23high foreheads everywhere.
00:29:26A numerical dyslexia.
00:29:29What?
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 here.
00:29:53Marvellous.
00:29:53Shall we?
00:29:54Come on.
00:29:54You look beautiful.
00:29:56Mm-hmm.
00:29:59Good night.
00:30:17I got to go.
00:30:20I am.
00:30:21I am.
00:30:23Good night.
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, we wanted us to be all alone.
00:32:21In silence, preferably.
00:32:22Yes, yes. I'll be a good boy.
00:32:33I quite understand the need for concentration.
00:32:37Painting the picture is like fighting a battle, a bloody battle.
00:32:43In the gladiatorial fight to the death, the 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. Thank you for the compliment.
00:33:16Are there any works that you're referring to in particular?
00:33:22I was thinking especially of the goldfish pond here at Chartma.
00:33:27The pond. Why the pond? It's just a pond.
00:33:31It's very much more than that, as borne out by the fact that you've returned to it again and again,
00:33:36more than 20 times.
00:33:37Well, 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 play of light, the trickery, and the fish 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, I 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, hiding 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.
00:34:41Perhaps.
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.
00:34:56With all that gnarled and twisted wood, those great ugly dabs of black.
00:35:05I found something malevolent.
00:35:10In it.
00:35:10Where did that come from?
00:35:13Well, it's very perceptive.
00:35:15That was, uh, it was a very dark time.
00:35:18My, uh, my son, John, passed away.
00:35:24Eight to two months.
00:35:30Oh, my.
00:35:32Oh, my.
00:35:33I am sorry.
00:35:39Yes.
00:35:58You have five, yes?
00:36:01Four.
00:36:03Marigold was the fifth.
00:36:07She left us at age two years, nine months.
00:36:12Septicemia.
00:36:13I'm so sorry.
00:36:14I had no idea.
00:36:41I'm so sorry.
00:36:42I had no idea.
00:36:42You named me.
00:36:44You roared like a wounded animal.
00:36:47Well, we bought Chartwell a year after Marigold died.
00:37:03That was when I put in the pond.
00:37:38Here, thank you.
00:37:55Well, thank you.
00:37:59It's a pleasure.
00:38:06I look forward to seeing it.
00:38:25Let me, let me, let me freeze again to death.
00:38:50Hello.
00:38:52Hello.
00:38:53Shall we?
00:38:55Yes.
00:39:00Given this is Aureole'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.
00:39:10Well, once the perfect fall, one needs to be prepared to wait for the perfect period.
00:39:14Shall we?
00:39:14No, no, girl.
00:39:15Meet Neocracy.
00:39:17No, the Aga Khan.
00:39:18Indeed.
00:39:19Yes.
00:39:20Recently retired, with a good record as a winner.
00:39:22A lovely 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.
00:39:40Strong, willful, with a terrific track record herself.
00:39:43I really would be breathing the best with the best.
00:39:46I'm sensing a bar.
00:39:47Through memory, your Aureole is something of a sensitive soul.
00:39:52That Hayden will 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.
00:40:06There's a 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.
00:40:21Mm.
00:40:23Would appear the feeling is mutual.
00:40:26Oh, well.
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.
00:40:41Oh, happy birthday, that darling old pug.
00:40:54Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,
00:41:07happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,

00:41:37happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy
00:41:42Oh, is it time?
00:41:43It is, Paul.
00:41:44Right.
00:41:53Bruce it down, Michael.
00:41:54Thank you, Paul.
00:41:55Westminster Hall, silent witness of nearly a thousand years of history,
00:41:59was the scene of the birthday presentations to Sir Winston.
00:42:55I am deeply honoured to be here today.
00:43:01No politician has ever received such an honour before,
00:43:08and I am deeply grateful.
00:43:11I am aware, however,
00:43:14that 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,
00:43:39and 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
00:44:06to present you with a portrait by an ambitious modernist,
00:44:14one has to ask oneself,
00:44:16is 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,
00:44:40that his portrait was not just of me,
00:44:43but of the office I represent, indeed,
00:44:48of our entire system of government.
00:44:52So, at long last,
00:44:55I look forward to unveiling this painting.
00:45:30A fine patriotic piece of modern art.
00:45:35LAUGHTER
00:45:40APPLAUSE
00:46:10Why are you here?
00:46:12I understand you've rejected the painting.
00:46:15I have.
00:46:16On what grounds?
00:46:17That 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,
00:46:28producing a stool.
00:46:30A broken, sagging, pitiful creature,
00:46:33squeezing 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
00:46:46as a sign of respect.
00:46:47But then they should have commissioned an artist
00:46:49who is respectful
00:46:50instead of a Judas wielding his murderous brush.
00:46:55Look at it!
00:46:56It is a betrayal of friendship
00:46:58and an unpatriotic,
00:47:02treacherous, cowardly assault
00:47:03by 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
00:47:14and I came through the experience admiring you even more.
00:47:16You make monsters of everyone you admire?
00:47:20It's not vindictive.
00:47:22It's art.
00:47:23It's not personal.
00:47:25Well, 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,
00:48:17then it's not with me.
00:48:24It's with your own blindness!
00:48:37I think you should go.
00:49:22he's right what i am that man in the painting
00:49:31and wretched and decaying and i cannot go on you've said that before
00:49:43and this time i mean it i'm tired
00:49:49you've had enough
00:49:52i have my love
00:49:59this time i really have good
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 thank you ma'am no winston
00:51:12on 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 two
00:51:29he might even stop cursing me then he will be overwhelmed by a job in which no man can ever
00:51:35succeed and curse me again for leaving it to him
00:51:41it might be an idea not to tell him that before he starts no ma'am
00:51:48so
00:51:51this is our last audience
00:52:02yes
00:52:08however will i cope without you you will be fine ma'am

00:53:24He's up.
00:53:41I don't know.
00:54:07Renaming London Airport?
00:54:09I want something more personal for Winston.
00:54:16What about dinner? Here? Or Buckingham Paris?
00:54:20No, there. Downing Street?
00:54:22Yes. It would be quite the compliment you 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. Why not?
00:54:39Is she a locker, do you think?
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. Well, does she smell good?
00:54:52Well, we'll see, don't we?
00:55:03Rather like us, darling, when we were courting.
00:55:06Shh. Will you please be quiet?
00:55:10Yeah, look. Here we go.
00:55:12All right. You all right?
00:55:17Hold her steady.
00:55:19Ready?
00:55:23All right. I see.
00:55:32Back off.
00:55:37Good boy.
00:55:41Is that it?
00:55:442,000 guineas for that.
00:55:46As long as he's done what he needs to do, and it bears fruit, I don't mind.
00:55:50Well done, Portchey.
00:55:54Yes, indeed.
00:55:56Well done, Portchey.
00:55:58I hear he's been given a direct line.
00:56:01Who?
00:56:02Portchey, 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.
00:56:12Portchey 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 all right?
00:56:42Mm!
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.
00:57:35Portchey 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

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
01:00:35many of them
