01:40.
01:41.
01:50All right.
01:52All right there, sir?
01:54Yes, yes, fine.
01:55Now, it's your turn. You have control.
01:58I have control.
01:59I remember what I told you.
02:00Keep your eye on the altimeter and the compass heading.
02:03And keep the stick level.
02:07That's very good. That's balanced.
02:12Stick to the left, then to the right.
02:20And level. Good.
02:24Noisy, isn't it?
02:29How's this, sir?
02:40My God.
02:47Isn't it wonderful?
02:49Heaven!
02:55You fought in the Battle of Britain, didn't you?
02:58I did, sir. 257 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, so we'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?
03:41How about tomorrow?
05:53I'm afraid you'll see us at this point.
05:55Interesting.
05:57Sir.
06:01I think you should see this.
06:03I see.
06:22Sorry, sir.
06:23I thought you should see these.
06:29Good God.
06:33We must send a warning to cover our backs.
06:37Thanks.
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've sent it.
06:52I'll get you to Dally Street right away.
07:08I'll get you to the end.
07:18I'll get you to the end.
07:23If her majesty could lean forward, deep breath in, and out, yes, a little stuffy, ma'am.
07:40It might help to open the window a crack.
07:42Not while they're rehearsing.
07:45What are they rehearsing?
07:50My funeral.
08:42Oh, there you are.
09:00Mr. Thurman.
09:01Mr. Collins.
09:15I'm not a scientist.
09:17I can't say I understand it.
09:20Well, what I can tell you is we don't get a weather warning like 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.
09:32Does the name Donora mean anything to you?
09:39Donora.
09:43Well, of course I remember Donora, who was a scandal.
09:46A 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...
09:59Copperworks?
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
10:16on an urgent fact-finding mission.
10:18They recommended that clean air zones be set up all around London as a precautionary measure.
10:25I never saw the report.
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 where it was discussed.
10:54He's insisted the country keep burning coal irresponsibly this winter.
11:00To give the illusion of a solid economy.
11:05This is great, Clem.
11:07It's interesting.
11:09For 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 information.
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 government.
11:41Any government.
11:43But I am also a responsible citizen, and I cannot stand by while 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, delusional even older one.
12:05Yours 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 usher him
12:31out of the door, and you back in.
12:35And to that end, you've come to me with a master plan that involves me crucifying the Tories for their
12:42failure to deal with a fog which has yet shows no sign of appearing.
12:49At present, I can see stars.
13:07At present, I can see stars.
13:09I can see stars.
13:23Like stars.
13:25In the light of the black and the moon.
13:33I can see stars.
13:35I can see stars.
13:53Good night.
14:08Miss Scott, thank you for your conscientiousness, but it's late. Go 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 evening, Pat.
14:57You haven't moved. I suppose it's still a no.
15:04To what? Coming out.
15:07You mean going to the Lamb of Flag with you, sitting at the bar, twinkling our ankles at every unremarkable
15:13young man in the room, then letting those men buy us enough drinks for us to bring them home, only
15:19to have their unremarkability confirmed to us again.
15:23No. Thanks.
15:26Goodness. And what will you be doing in the meantime?
15:29Spend time. Spend 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 yours, and the fullness
15:51thereof. Be kind, but be fierce. You are needed now more than ever before. Take up the mantle of change,
16:01for this is your time.
16:03Spend time.
16:07Spend time.
16:16Spend time.
16:19Spend time.
16:22Spend time.
16:24Spend time.
16:25Spend time.
16:26Spend time.
16:28Spend time.
16:29Spend time.
16:30Spend time.
16:31Spend time.
16:32Spend time.
16:33Spend time.
16:33Spend time.
16:33Spend time.
16:35Good morning.
16:37The time is 8 o'clock on the 6th of December, and here is the news.
16:40London has been brought to a halt by dense fog, which has descended overnight.
16:47Long queues are formed on main roads,
16:49and there are reports of motorists abandoning their vehicles and continuing on foot.
16:53London Airport is expected to be closed.
16:58Good God.
16:59The Meteorological Office has issued a statement saying that a persistent anti-cyclone over London is to blame.
17:06Smoke from the capital'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. It'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 judged 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,
17:57then there's only one thing to be done.
18:37I saw that.
18:40Might 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.
19:03They 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,
19:19she became Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.
19:22Her daughter, Queen Elizabeth, is now Queen.
19:25So she is...
19:27The Queen.
19:29Bravo.
19:29Well, nurses and nuns have the same problem.
19:34We're all called sister.
19:36So you are.
19:38Well, she's outside.
19:40The Queen.
19:42Then let her in, sister.
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,
20:22there was something I wanted to talk to you about.
20:26Fire away.
20:38I was listening to the wireless this morning
20:41where they described this fog as an act of God.
20:45Now, 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,
21:22an 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,
21:48not the public.
21:51I'm not sure that my husband would agree with that.
21:54He 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.
22:41Next 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.
23:25Let's see how the old fool is going to be given a chance to be given a chance to be
23:40given a chance to be given a chance to be given a chance to be given a chance to be
23:41given a chance to be given a chance to be given a chance to be given a chance to be

23:50given a chance to be given a chance to be given a chance to be given a chance to be
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.
24:53I 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.
25:03Oh, then don't.
25:04You'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,
25:14and the business gets done,
25:16and the country's governed.
25:21What's my personal contribution?
25:25Ah.
25:26You improve the quality of life for all that deal with you.
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,
25:45fighting 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.
25:56That'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, 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.
26:28You were 24.
26:34All energy and hope,
26:36and passion and fire.
26:40It's remarkable.
26:46You found something you liked in that young male?
26:49I did.
27:21Good morning.
27:23The time is 8 o'clock on the 7th of December,
27:26and here is the news.
27:29A serious fog that brought much of the capital to a standstill yesterday
27:32continues this morning,
27:34with emergency services struggling to cope,
27:37and 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
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.
28:28No!
28:34No!
28:34No!
28:34I'm fine!
28:35I promise!
28:38It's just cause 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,
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 isohumes.
29:48It has been an unusually cold winter,
29:51and there are only so many things that 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.
30:08You do not seem unduly concerned.
30:10I'm not.
30:11You do know that my late father wrote many years ago
30:15to your predecessors
30:17to express his deep concern about the inner city power stations
30:20that your party was building.
30:25Indeed.
30:27And I was sympathetic with your father's concerns at the time.
30:32I also have sympathy with the leader articles in the newspapers today,
30:38begging for blood, wanting my head.
30:42People 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
31:26to 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.
31:48Please 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.
32:38Good morning. The time is eight o'clock on the 8th of December, and 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.
33:34Off we go.
33:36Arm in.
33:39Hand the other.
33:42Arm in.
33:44Arm in.
33:47Arm in.
33:49Arm. Saints.
33:50Arm in.
33:52Arm.
33:54Arm in.
33:57Arm in.
34:04Arm in.
34:06Arm In.
34:08Arm in. Arm.lares.
34:12I'm going to get you to the police.
34:15I'm going to get you to the police.
34:16Watch down, ladies.
34:18Watch down.
34:20Watch down.
34:23Watch out.
34:25Quick, hold my hand.
34:27Watch out.
34:29Watch out.
34:31Watch out.
34:32Watch out.
34:32Watch out.
34:34Watch out.
34:39Watch out.
34:40Watch out.
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...
35:21Prime 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, killing several and injuring a great many
35:35more.
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.
35:55Sometimes 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.
36:08It'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?
36:21The Duke of Edinburgh.
36:36Ma'am, Ma'am.
36:38Ma'am?
36:39Ma'am?
36:39Telephone, sir.
36:40The Fa'am this at Salisbury?
36:41Oh.
36:41Not now.
36:42He asked me to stress the importance of the matter.
36:46Mom is here?
36:49Max.
36:50Bobbity?
36:51Thanks for taking my call, Diggy.
36:54Are you there?
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.
37:13Most of the doctors are sick now.
37:15Most that are well can't get in.
37:17It was better than this in the ward.
37:19What do you need? More equipment? Or masks?
37:22Masks are bloody useless. They're just for show.
37:24To make it look like the government's doing something.
37:26Then what is needed?
37:27Money. People. Trained 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.
37:57Dud! Dud!
38:00I'll show you.
38:01I'm out of the way!
38:03I'm out of the way!
38:09I'm out of the way!
38:11Oh, my God.
38:12Where are you?
38:13I'm out of the way.
38:14I'm out of the way.
38:19Where are you?
38:19What's up?
38:20How do you think?
38:20What's up?
38:30Aignee!
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
39:38Yes
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
40:22For there you have been
40:23And there you will always 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, ma'am, Batten, your majesty
40:49Uncle Dickie, what's he doing here?
40:51I know as much as you do
40:52He said it was important, ma'am
40:53Thank you
41:00Elizabeth
41:05Hello
41:06Hello
41:06Came as soon as I cried
41:09So
41:12Go, is this a meeting with Elizabeth, your niece?
41:16My wife
41:17Or the queen?
41:19Later, I'm afraid
41:20Right, I don't know my place
41:31What's the matter with him?
41:33Nothing
41:36He's just feeling a little grounded
41:38Ignore it
41:40Right, all ears
41:42I received a telephone call today from Robert E. Salisbury
41:49It seems that even among his own people
41:51The feeling is that our prime minister is not able to deal with a national crisis
41:57Indeed, he could be seen to be responsible for that crisis
42:02Hospitals overflowing, people dying
42:04Well, as sovereign
42:06You 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
42:18So
42:19I would say
42:21I would say
42:21I would say
42:21The time has come for you to
42:25Summon Churchill
42:26And
42:26And
42:27And what?
42:32Insist that he go
42:35I can't do that
42:38You can
42:38And should
42:40But
42:42Wouldn't that violate the constitution?
42:45As queen
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 constitutes incapacity
43:10Then a revolution must come from within
43:12They are trying
43:14Well, then they must try harder
43:16They will
43:17But
43:18Would prefer it to be bloodless
43:21So I have asked for your help
43:24And influence
43:28I cannot do it
43:30I will not do it
43:32Let's
43:32Not forget
43:33It 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
43:51Stopping 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 am so sorry sir
44:16Who
44:17Who are her parents?
44:19Her father is a clergyman from Suffolk
44:21I have been noticed
44:22They 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 work 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
45:07Representations 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 as head of state?
45:33What should I do?
45:35When it's in the net of 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
45:56Then on a personal one
45:58As a friend
46:00To bid the prime minister to resign
46:03What did my father say?
46:06Well
46:06His majesty was like his father before him
46:09A stickler for convention and tradition
46:11And 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
46:53What do you mean?
46:55Wait for me here
47:16Wait for me here
47:22We'll get to see you next time.
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.
48:22All energy, and hope, and passion, and fire.
48:31Sir?
48:34Damn it, he is.
48:36Oh, 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.
49:08Let's go.
49:39Thank God.
49:40Thank God.
49:52Just come on, the Prime Minister will be here in a few moments.
49:55Let's go.
50:11Is there anything, sir?
50:12Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
50:42Heroism.
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, 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.
51:36The Prime Minister was alone among senior politicians to visit hospitals and respond to the crisis in person, and was
51:44rewarded by cheers and applause by those suffering through the worst smog this city has ever witnessed.
51:50Headline reads, true 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...
52:44Clem, you still there?
52:50In...
52:51Charles, Nebellum...
52:54Ohh, he will just out, please, Yes, called.
53:04Oh, he have a great great great�s.
53:34The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
53:48You asked to see me now?
53:51I did.
54:03There's a delicate matter which I felt I needed to discuss with you in person.
54:10Concerning what?
54:14Your position.
54:18My position?
54:20Yes, your position as Prime Minister.
54:33Go on.
54:38At that point, she hesitated.
54:41And then she asked me to pick either Khwajgi Nazimuddin of Pakistan or Sydney Holland of New Zealand.
54:50Whatever for?
54:51No.
54:52To sit next to at dinner.
54:56She summoned you for that?
54:58Oh, no.
54:58I think she summoned me to haul me over the coals for my handling of the fog.
55:02But then the fog lifted and she had to make a decision right then and there in the room.
55:09You could see the wheels turning behind her eyes.
55:12And then she switched a tack without so much as a flicker.
55:17Clever.
55:19No, no.
55:20Not clever.
55:20Ingenious.
55:21Why?
55:21Because they disarmed me and made me switch tack too.
55:26What about?
55:27About allowing Philip to learn to fly.
55:30He can now.
55:32Good.
55:34But he still has to ask cabinet permission to do rolls and spins.
55:49What, dear girl?
55:53Well, what if the fog hadn't lifted?
55:58And the government had continued to flounder.
56:01The people had continued to die.
56:04And Churchill had continued to cling to power and the country had continued to suffer.
56:10It doesn't feel right, as head of state, to do nothing.
56:15It is exactly right.
56:18Is it?
56:19But surely doing nothing is no job at all.
56:23To do nothing is the hardest job of all.
56:26And it will take every ounce of energy that you have.
56:30To be impartial is not natural, not human.
56:34People will always want you to smile or agree or frown.
56:38And the minute you do, you will have declared a position, a point of view.
56:42And that is the one thing, as sovereign, that you are not entitled to do.
56:48The less you do, the less you say, or agree, or smile.
56:53Or 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, come on.
57:23How long would it take me to get my wings?
57:25Well, normally a trainee would spend anything between 100 and 120 hours on one of these things.
57:30Do you think I could do it in three months?
57:33That would be unusual.
57:34I know.
57:35I'm a fast learner.
57:37And believe me when I say I've got nothing else to do.
57:55I couldn't have noticed you've still got a right up.
57:58Starboard and port.
57:5918 gallons.
58:00Yes.
58:01Fancy lunch in Edinburgh.
58:03Edinburgh?
58:03All right.
58:03They made me duke there.
58:05So I should probably show up from time to time.
58:07Unless you have more pressing engagements.
58:09No, sir.
58:10All right.
58:11I'll adjust rpms and cruising speed for range flying.
58:15We'll have to land to refuel, sir.
58:18Oh, really?
58:19Where's that?
58:20Donkester.
58:21Donkester?
58:23Right.
58:44Well, I'll see you here.
59:02I'll notice you atle p adjustments.
59:03Or are the more than one any particular mission.
