00:00I'm not sure if you want to go.
00:02I'm not sure if you want to go.
00:05I'm not sure if you want 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,
00:39and I can't bloody well fly.
00:41Yes, I'm sure.
00:42Right-o, sir.
01:12Ready, sir?
01:14Bravo!
01:15Here we go!
01:17Whoa-ho!
01:24There we go!
01:30Perfect!
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?
03:47That was wonderful.
04:21I've got two quarters.
04:22I have control over and three quarters.
05:52I'm afraid this seems like this is interesting.
05:56Interesting.
05:57Sir.
06:01I think you should see this.
06:06Let's see.
06:08Sir.
06:11Goodness me.
06:16Excuse me! You can't go in there!
06:19Excuse me, sir!
06:22Sorry, sir.
06:23Thought 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,
06:42as 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.
06:52I'll get you to Downing Street right away.
07:12Right there, please.
07:16There it is.
07:18There it is.
07:19There it is.
07:20There it is.
07:23If her majesty could lean forward.
07:30Deep breath in.
07:35And out.
07:35What?
07:38He has a little stuff here, ma'am.
07:40It might help to open the window a crack.
07:42Not while they're rehearsing.
07:45What are they rehearsing?
07:46Here's the date.
07:50Do you want to tell him?
07:51My funeral.
07:58Hold on.
08:03Give tune.
08:09Let me take care of your daughters.see.
08:42Oh, there you are.
08:43Mr. Cork?
08:48Oh, really?
08:50Oh, you're welcome.
08:57Mr. Thurman.
09:01Mr. Cork.
09:04Nice view.
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.
09:32Oh, does the name Donora mean anything to you?
09:39Donora.
09:43Of course I remember Donora, who was a scandal.
09:47A small mill town in America outside Philadelphia.
09:51Pittsburgh.
09:52They had a smog brought on by a freak anticyclone, which trapped the emissions from the local
09:59copper world.
10:00What's that?
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
10:17mission.
10:18They recommended that clean air zones be set up all around London as a precautionary
10:22measure.
10:24Hmm.
10:25I never saw the report.
10:27With good reason.
10:29Our prime minister threw it away, claiming it wasn't a priority.
10:34Can you prove that?
10:36I can, Mr. Hartley.
10:46The cabinet minutes where 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, why a Downing Street employee working for the government should
11:21come to me with this information.
11:24Mr. Hartley, I have read the Aeneid, Mr. Thurman.
11:27Do not trust the horse, Trojans.
11:30I fear the Greeks, even when they bring gifts.
11:35Mr. Hartley, I entered the civil service to serve the public and to serve government.
11:41Any government.
11:42But I am also a responsible citizen, and I cannot stand by when chaos reigns around me.
11:53Mr. Hartley, this is a collection of hesitant, frightened, old men unable to unseat a tyrannical,
12:02delusional, even older one.
12:04Mr. Hartley, yours was the most radical, forward-thinking government this country has ever seen.
12:14How you lost the election escapes me.
12:20Escapes us all.
12:24I believe I would be doing the British public and this country a service if I helped to usher him
12:31out of the door
12:32and you back in.
12:35And to that end, you've come to me with a master plan
12:39that involves me crucifying the Tories for their failure to deal with a fog
12:44which has yet shows no sign of appearing.
12:49At present, I can see stars.
13:28CHOIR SINGS
13:32CHOIR SINGS
14:03CHOIR SINGS
14:08Miss Scott, thank you for your conscientiousness, but it's late. You're home.
14:13I am, sir.
14:14You're no good to be tired. Good evening to you.
14:19What? Still here?
14:21Good night, sir.
14:26Good night.
14:34Good evening, Pat.
14:35Good night.
14:57You haven't moved.
15:01I suppose it's still a no.
15:04To what?
15:05Coming out.
15:07You mean going to the Lamb of Flag with you, sitting at the bar, twinkling our ankles at
15:12every unremarkable young man in the room, then letting those men buy us enough drinks for
15:17us to bring them home, only to have their unremarkability confirmed to us again.
15:23No. Thanks.
15:26Goodness. And what will you be doing in the meantime?
15:30Spend time in the company of someone remarkable.
15:35Ta-ra.
15:43Hear this, young men and women everywhere, and proclaim it far and wide. The Earth is
15:50yours, and the fullness thereof. Be kind, but be fierce. You are needed now more than ever
15:58before. Take up the mantle of change, for this is your time.
16:35Good morning. The time is 8 o'clock on the 6th of December, and here is the news.
16:41London has been brought to a halt by dense fog, which has descended overnight.
16:47Long queues are formed on main roads, and there are reports of motorists abandoning their
16:51vehicles and continuing on foot. London Airport is expected to be closed.
16:58Good. God.
17:00The Meteorological Office has issued a statement saying that a persistent anti-cyclone over
17:04London is to blame. Smoke from the capital's chimneys is being trapped at street level, which
17:09is aggravating the fog.
17:15Windless conditions mean it is expected to last for some time. Be careful out there, it's
17:20a real pea super.
17:32Oh, is the car ready? I'm afraid the visibility is too poor to drive, ma'am.
17:38It's what? 200 yards?
17:41It's been judged too hazardous, ma'am.
17:47I have an appointment to see my grandmother. I intend to keep that appointment. If it's
17:55too hazardous to drive, then there's only one thing to be done.
17:59What'll I do?
18:13Oh, thank God.
18:17Oh, thank God.
18:22Oh, thank God.
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 were 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. I'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.
19:24So she is...
19:27The Queen.
19:29Brother.
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.
19:41Then let her in, Sister.
19:57Bedtime?
19:58Not at all.
20:01How are you?
20:03Well, I'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.
20:38I 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 in your duty.
21:49Not the public.
21:52I'm not sure that my husband would agree with that.
21:55He would argue that in any equitable modern society
21:59that church and state should be separated.
22:03That if God has servants, they're priests, not kings.
22:07That he would also say that he watched 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, Henry VIII?
22:33It's the Church of England, dear,
22:34not the Church of Denmark or Greece.
22:40Next question?
22:44It's chaos out there.
22:46Trains disrupted, air 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 at 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 a vote of no confidence
23:11and will doubtless call me overcautious for not doing so.
23:15But the Prime Minister needs to be given a chance.
23:21Even if it's only to hang himself.
23:23Let's see how the old fool responds.
23:27Let's see how the old fool responds.
23:40There you go.
23:42Let's see how the old fool goes.
23:43Run!
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!
24:51Oh, I'm sorry, sorry, sir. I was just...
24:54No, no, you did well to get here. I gather half the Downing Street staff didn't.
24:59Oh, it wasn't easy. Just crossing the road, you take your life in your hands.
25:03Oh, then don't. You're too important to all of us.
25:06Hardly.
25:07All I do is bring you things to sign and take them away again.
25:11And so the wheels keep turning, and the business gets done, and the country's governed.
25:21What's my personal contribution?
25:25Ah. You improve the quality of life for all that deal with you.
25:31What?
25:32An ornament.
25:34A flower.
25:37By comparison, at my age, you were a published writer.
25:42And a cavalry officer posted to India, fighting local tribesmen on the northwest frontier.
25:48Who told you that?
25:49You asked me to engage in a relationship with 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, and proclaim it far and wide.
26:05The earth is yours, and the fullness thereof.
26:11Be kind, but be fierce.
26:14You are needed now more than ever before.
26:19Take up the mantle of change.
26:21Stop.
26:22For this is your time.
26:29You were 24.
26:33All energy and hope.
26:36And passion and fire.
26:39It's remarkable.
26:45You found something you liked in that young male?
26:51I did.
27:21Good morning.
27:24The time is eight o'clock on the 7th of December, and here is the news.
27:28The serious fog that brought much of the capital to a standstill yesterday continues this morning,
27:34with emergency services struggling to cope, and widespread disruption reported across the nation.
27:41Flares are being used to guide motorists in parts of the capital.
27:45Trains are stopped while running hours behind schedule from major London railway stations.
27:52The Prime Minister is facing criticism for failure to deal with the mounting crisis.
27:58London airport is closed again today, with all flights crowded.
28:02Yes.
28:03The unmoving fog, which has spread to over 30 miles wide, is likely to cause complete darkness by two o
28:09'clock this afternoon.
28:24You all right?
28:28You're not?
28:31Go on, let's get you up.
28:33No.
28:34No, I'm fine.
28:35I promise.
28:38It's just because the window is open.
28:41Now go to work.
28:42You've got a job to do.
28:52Let us start with the unrest in Egypt, where anti-colonial passions continue to run high,
29:00and where our soldiers continue to come under fire from nationalist insurgents.
29:05It is vital that we remain and successfully defend the Suez Canal,
29:12a point that I will be making in person to the Commonwealth heads when I host them for the weekend
29:19at 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.
29:31It will lift eventually.
29:33I was hoping for something more scientific.
29:37Then I will ensure that a barometric report is included in your box tomorrow, complete with isobars and isohumes.
29:48It has been an unusually cold winter, and there are only so many things that I, as Prime Minister, am
29:56prepared to inflict on your subjects as a reward for winning a world war and prevailing over fascism, evil and
30:03tyranny.
30:04Letting them freeze is not one of them.
30:08You do not seem unduly concerned.
30:10I'm not.
30:11You do not.
30:12You do not know that my late father wrote many years ago to your predecessors to express his deep concern
30:19about the inner city power stations that your party was building.
30:25Indeed.
30:27And I was sympathetic with your father's concerns at the time.
30:33I also have sympathy with the leader articles in the newspapers today, begging for blood, wanting my head.
30:42And people have to be angry at someone.
30:46But as leader, one cannot simply react to everything.
30:51We need the power stations.
30:53We need the coal.
30:55People need to burn coal to warm their homes.
30:58It is weather.
30:59It will pass.
31:01Well, I do hope so.
31:03Not least because my husband's mood is intolerable.
31:07Why?
31:09Well, being caged in like this.
31:11He can't fly.
31:15Fly where?
31:16Well, nowhere.
31:18He's learning to fly.
31:21Whatever for?
31:23Have we not enough qualified pilots to take him where he needs to go?
31:27No, he wants to fly himself.
31:30It's a boyhood dream.
31:32It'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 is a private matter.
31:42And the father of the future king of England risking his life needlessly is quite unacceptable.
31:49Please do not curtail my 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 one must draw a line in the sand.
32:00And the job of drawing that line falls to cabinet, ma'am, not to you.
32:05Something your dear late papa would certainly have taught you had he been granted more time to complete your education.
32:13And now our time is up.
32:20Until next week.
32:22Don't worry.
32:37good morning
32:38the time is eight o'clock on the 8th of December.
32:41And here is the news.
32:42The choking, eye-watering fog, which has already caused two days of chaos across the capital, has worsened overnight.
32:50The great coal-burning electricity stations in Battersea and Fulham have attempted to reduce emissions of poisonous sulfur dioxide from
32:57their chimneys,
32:58but we've been told that it is unlikely they will be able to make any significant change to the air
33:03quality.
33:04The government is expected to make a statement later today.
33:17Come on. Let's get you to a hospital.
33:20I'm fine.
33:21You're not. Come on.
33:23Let's get you up.
33:25Shoes.
33:34Here we go.
33:36Arm in.
33:39Hand the other.
33:53I can't breathe.
33:55Do as I say and hold on to me.
34:07Come along.
34:25Quick, hold my hand.
34:26You're right.
34:36Come on.
34:39Come on.
34:40Come on.
34:41Come on.
34:41You're right, ladies.
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.
35:03An inquiry would be expensive.
35:09Winston people are angry.
35:11They see us as the culprits.
35:13Culprits for what?
35:14It'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 levity.
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 parts 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.
35:55Sometimes 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, and find a way to blame us for that, too.
36:08No, it'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.
36:24The Duke of Edinburgh.
36:38Telephone, sir.
36:40The Marcus of Salisbury.
36:41Not now.
36:42He asked me to stress the importance of the matter.
36:50Bobbity?
36:51Thanks for taking my call, Diggie.
36:54Are you there?
36:56Yes.
36:57Can anyone overhear what you're saying?
37:03No?
37:04Good.
37:09It's chaos.
37:10I know.
37:11The ward is full.
37:12Every 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 war.
37:19What do you need?
37:20More equipment?
37:21Or masks?
37:22Masks are bloody useless.
37:23They're just for show.
37:24To make it look like the government's doing something.
37:26Then what is needed?
37:27Money.
37:29People.
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, something like that.
37:51You know, my day's bad enough without some delusional girl playing jokes.
37:55Now, excuse me.
38:00I'll show you.
38:02Get out of the way.
38:03Here you go.
38:12where are you?
38:13Oh, here.
38:15Oh, here.
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 yes I know sheep in sheep's clothing perhaps it's time to approve you're not
39:03very well let's put a motion down on paper and brief the whips
39:19thank you sir
39:36anything interesting
39:41yes could share it no I'd be happy to share glide ratios and adiabatic lapse rates with you as part
39:50of a quid pro quo arrangement one glide ratio in return for some cabinet minutes for example
39:59no a dihedral angle or an absolute ceiling these are very interesting concepts Elizabeth you might
40:04learn something in exchange for a foreign office briefing am I going to have to explain my position
40:11again no good once you have tasted flight you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned
40:21skyward for there you have been and there you will always long to return not remarkable about those
40:32words go on they were written 300 years before man first got in a plane Leonardo da Vinci look I
40:43know
40:47Lord man baton your majesty uncle Dickey what's he doing here I know as much as you do he said
40:52it was
40:53important not thank you Elizabeth
41:05hello came as soon as I cried so
41:12go is is this a meeting with Elizabeth your niece my wife or the queen latter I'm afraid right I
41:21don't
41:21know my place
41:31what's the matter with him nothing he's just feeling a little grounded ignore it right all ears I received a
41:45telephone call today from
41:47Robert de 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 hospitals overflowing people dying
42:04as sovereign you 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 so I would say the time has come for
42:23you to summon Churchill and
42:28and what
42:32insist that he go
42:36I can't do that you can and should but wouldn't that violate the Constitution
42:46as Queen you have the right to be consulted the right to encourage the right to warn also to appoint
43:01a new Prime Minister in the event of incapacity
43:04and many would say that Churchill's behavior now constitutes incapacity
43:10then a revolution must come from within
43:12they are trying
43:14well then they must try harder
43:16they will
43:18but would prefer it
43:20to be bloodless
43:21so have asked for your help
43:24and influence
43:28I cannot do it
43:30I will not do it
43:32let's not forget it was Churchill
43:34who 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
43:56what?
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?
44:41yes Tommy
44:45I know
44:46how much my father depended on you
44:49and how closely you worked together
44:52which is why I wanted to ask your advice
44:54now
44:56it seems our Prime Minister
44:58a man who has led the country through many crises
45:02is no longer leading us at all
45:06representations have been made to me
45:09through an intermediary
45:11from 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
45:50came
45:51begging his late majesty to intervene
45:54if not on an official level
45:56then on a personal one
45:58as a friend
46:00to bid the prime minister to resign
46:03what did my father say
46:05what did my father say?
46:05well
46:06his 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
46:23that 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
46:53hope
46:54will be
46:55alright
47:00leave
47:01here
47:15one
47:23out
47:56Sir?
47:59Just a child.
48:04A beautiful child.
48:08I just received word from Buckingham Palace.
48:11Oh.
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?
48:35Damn it, he is.
48:36Shh, shh, shh.
48:44Did 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.
49:01The lamp is coming out and I'm here.
49:08Have a good night.
49:21Hear us.
49:22Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
49:27Come on.
49:28Come on, let's go.
49:28Where are you?
49:29I know.
49:29What are you?
49:29Come on.
49:29Hit it.
49:29Come on.
49:40Thank you a lot.
49:42I'm sorry.
49:43Come on down, sir.
49:52Just come on, the Prime Minister will be here in a few moments.
50:11Is there anything, sir?
50:13No, no, no.
50:20Quiet, please!
50:26Mr. Churchill!
50:28I have witnessed scenes here today, the likes of which we have not seen since the darkest days of the
50:37Blitz.
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.
50:54But I, as Prime Minister, am in a position to ease the suffering.
51:02To that end, I pledge to make available with immediate effect more money for hospital staff,
51:10more money for equipment, and a full and independent public inquiry into the causes of air pollution,
51:19to ensure that such a calamity may never befall us again.
51:36The Prime Minister was alone among senior politicians to visit hospitals and respond to the crisis in person,
51:43and was rewarded by cheers and applause by those suffering through the worst smog this city has ever witnessed.
51:50The headline reads,
51:52True 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.
52:09And 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? I...
52:40Clem, can you hear me?
52:42Clem, can you hear me?

55:30he can now. good. but he still has to ask cabinet permission to do rolls and
55:37spins.
55:49what dear girl?
55:53well what if the fog hadn't lifted and the government had continued to flounder
56:01and people had continued to die and churchill had continued to cling to power and the country
56:08had continued to suffer. it doesn't feel right as head of state to do nothing. it is exactly right.
56:18is it? but surely doing nothing is no job at all. to do nothing is the hardest job of all
56:26and it will take every ounce of energy that you have. to be impartial is not natural not human.
56:33people will always want you to smile or agree or frown and the minute you do you will have declared
56:40a position a point of view and that is the one thing as sovereign that you are not entitled to
56:46do.
56:48the less you do the less you say or agree or smile or think or feel or breathe or exist
56:56the better.
57:01well that's fine for the sovereign
57:06but where does that leave me?
57:22so go on how long would it take me to get my wings? well normally a trainee would spend anything
57:27between 100 and 120 hours in one of these things. do you think i could do it in three months?
57:33that would be unusual. i know i'm a fast learner and believe me when i say i've got nothing else
57:39to do
57:55i couldn't have noticed you've still got a right up. starboard and port. 18 gallons?
58:00yes. fancy lunch in edinburgh. edinburgh? they made me duke there so i should probably show up from time to
58:07time unless you have more pressing engagements. no sir. all right i'll adjust rpms and cruising
58:13speed for range flight. we'll have to land to refuel sir. aria filling. oh really? where's that?
58:20don't get stuck. don't get stuck. don't get stuck. right.
58:26so
58:36so
