00:00I'm going to get you back.
00:02I'm going to get you back.
00:03I'm going to get you back.
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.
04:00Have a good day.
04:03You've suspected it's ever been outstanding.
04:21It's kind of a habit.
04:21Yes, love that 혹시 was gonna be a good time.
04:21They're good enough.
04:21Oh, I'll be right back.
04:24swings on président of that.
04:25Boom.
06:08Johnson, what do you make of this?
06:08Sir.
06:11Goodness me.
06:16Excuse me. You can't go in there.
06:19Excuse me, sir.
06:22Sorry, sir. I thought you should see these.
06:29Good God.
06:33We must send a warning to cover our backs.
06:40Kenneth, it should probably come from you as Chief Scientist.
06:44Address it to the PM.
06:46You'll never read it, of course.
06:48But the important thing is, we sent it.
06:51Well, get it to Downey Street right away.
07:12Right there, please.
07:15Right there, please.
07:16Here we go.
07:19Quick, quick, quick!
07:20There.
07:23If her majesty could lean forward.
07:29Deep breath in.
07:35And out.
07:38Yes, little stuffy, ma'am.
07:40It might help to open the window a crack.
07:42Not while they're rehearsing.
07:44What are they rehearsing?
07:50My funeral.
07:58Oh, no.
08:00No.
08:16No.
08:19No.
08:41Oh, there you are.
09:00Mr. Thurman, Mr. Collins, nice for you, thank you.
09:16I'm not a scientist. I can't say I understand it, but what I can tell you is we don't get
09:23a weather warning like this every day. We don't get one every month either. In fact, I've
09:30never heard of us getting one at all. Does the name Donora mean anything to you?
09:39Well, of course I remember Donora. It was a scandal. A small mill town in America outside
09:50Philadelphia. Pittsburgh.
09:52They had a smog brought on by a freak anticyclone which trapped the emissions from the local
09:59copper world in the fog. In a few days, a number of people died.
10:05Twenty.
10:06And several thousand became seriously ill from the poisonous fog. After the incident, a cross-party
10:14delegation was sent to Donora on an urgent fact-finding mission. They recommended that clean air zones
10:20be set up all around London as a precautionary measure. I never saw the report.
10:27With good reason. Our Prime Minister threw it away, claiming it wasn't a priority. Can you
10:35prove that? I can, Mr. Utley. The 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. This is great, Clem. It's interesting, for sure. What I don't understand
11:14is this. Why a Downing Street employee working for the government should come to me with this
11:22information. I've read the Aeneid, Mr. Thurman. Do not trust the horse Trojans. I fear the
11:31Greeks even when they bring gifts. Mr. Utley, I entered the civil service to serve the public
11:39and to serve government. Any government. But I am also a responsible citizen and I cannot
11:46stand by when chaos reigns around me. This is not a government. Mr. Utley, this is a collection
11:55of 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. How you
12:15lost the election escapes me. Escapes us all. I believe I would be doing the British public
12:27and this country a service if I helped to usher him out of the door and you back in. And
12:36to
12:36that end, you come to me with a master plan that involves me crucifying the Tories for their
12:42failure to deal with a fog which as yet shows no sign of appearing. At present, I can see stars.
13:15ongoing
13:29the
13:32zurück to visit
13:42the
14:08Miss Cox, thank you for your
14:11conscientiousness but it's late. you're home. you're no good to be tired. good evening to you.
14:19what? still here? good night sir.
14:34evening Pat
14:57you haven't moved. I suppose it's still a no. to what? coming out. you mean going to the lamb flag
15:09with you sitting at the bar?
15:11twinkling our ankles at every unremarkable young man in the room. then letting those men buy us enough drinks for
15:17us to bring them home.
15:18only to have their unremarkability confirmed to us again. no. thanks. goodness. and what will you be doing in the
15:29meantime?
15:30spend time in the company of someone remarkable. oh. ta-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.
16:03what is your time?
16:24what is your time?
16:35good morning. time is 8 o'clock on the 6th 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 vehicles and continuing on foot.
16:53london airport is expected to be closed.
16:58good. god.
17:00the meteorological office has issued a statement saying that a persistent anti-cyclone over london is to blame.
17:06smoke from the capitol's chimneys is being trapped at street level which is aggravating the fog.
17:15windless conditions mean it is expected to last for some time. be careful out there. it's a real pea super.
17:31nina.
17:32ah, is the car ready?
17:34l'm afraid the visibility is too poor to drive, ma'am.
17:36l'm afraid the visibility is too poor to drive, ma'am.
17:38l's what? 200 jahads?
17:41l's been charged too hazardous, ma'am.
17:47l 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.
18:38I saw that.
18:41Might it be possible for you to pretend that you haven't?
18:45And the Queen is here, Your Majesty.
18:47Could you be more specific?
18:50Ma'am?
18:52Which Queen?
18:53Queen Elizabeth, ma'am.
18:55Which one? There are two.
18:57The young one.
18:58Oh, THE Queen.
19:01I thought you was all Queens. They gave me a sheet.
19:04We are.
19:05I was the Queen so long as my husband the King was alive.
19:09But since he died, I'm no longer THE Queen.
19:11I'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.
19:31Nurses and nuns have the same problem.
19:33We're all called Sister.
19:36So you are.
19:38Well, she's outside.
19:40THE Queen.
19:42Then let her in.
19:44Sister.
19:57Bedtime?
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.
20:37I was listening to the wireless this morning,
20:40where 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 is 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 to grace and dignify the earth.
21:19To give ordinary people an ideal to strive towards.
21:23An example of nobility and duty to raise them in their wretched lives.
21:28Monarchy is a calling from God.
21:32That is why you're crowned in an abbey, not 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, not the public.
21:51I'm not sure that my husband would agree with that.
21:54He would argue that in any equitable modern society that church and state should be separated.
22:02That if God has servants, they're priests, not kings.
22:07He would also say that he watched his own family destroyed because they were seen by the people to embody
22:13indefensible and unreasonable ideas.
22:16Yes, but he represents a royal family of carpetbaggers and parvenues that goes back what?
22:22Ninety years.
22:24What would he know of Alfred the Great?
22:26The Rod of Equity and Mercy.
22:28Edward the Confessor.
22:30William the Conqueror.
22:31Henry the Eighth.
22:33It's the Church of England, dear.
22:35Not the Church of Denmark or Greece.
22:41Next question.
22:44It's chaos out there.
22:47Trains disrupted.
22:48Air services cancelled.
22:50At Richmond Bridge this morning,
22:52visibility was officially measured at one yard.
22:55That's a record low, incidentally.
22:58Our Trojan friend in Downing Street has 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 over-cautious 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.
23:39There you go.
23:41Hey!
23:43Hey!
23:44Hey!
23:48Hey!
23:51Hey!
23:51Hey!
23:54Hey!
24:04Hey!
24:07Hey!
24:08Hey!
24:09Hey!
24:10Hey!
24:12Well, I'm glad to see someone else made it in.
24:16No-one saw this coming, did they?
24:17No.
24:27Prime Minister?
24:29Sir?
24:50Ah! You made it! Bravo!
24:52Oh, I'm sorry, sorry, sir. I was just...
24:54No, no. You did well to get here.
24:56I gather half the Downing Street staff didn't.
24:59It wasn't easy.
25:01Just crossing the road, you take your life in your hands.
25:03Then don't. You're too important to all of us.
25:06Hardly.
25:07All I do is bring you things to sign and take them away again.
25:12So the wheels keep turning,
25:14and the business gets done,
25:15and the country is governed.
25:20But...
25:21What's my...
25:22personal contribution?
25:25Ah.
25:26You improve the quality of life
25:29for all that deal with you.
25:32An ornament.
25:34A flower.
25:37By comparison, at my age, you were a published writer
25:41and a cavalry officer posted to India
25:45fighting local tribesmen on the Northwest Frontier.
25:48Who told you that?
25:50You asked me to engage in a relationship 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.
25:59Hear this, young men and women everywhere,
26:03and proclaim it far and wide.
26:06The 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 man?
26:51I did.
27:21Good morning.
27:24The 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
27:43in parts of the capital.
27:45Trains are stopped,
27:46while running hours behind schedule
27:48from major London railway stations.
27:52The Prime Minister is facing criticism
27:54of failure to deal with the mountain crisis.
27:58London Airport is closed again today,
28:00with all flights grounded.
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.
28:24You all right?
28:28You're not.
28:31Go on.
28:32Go 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,
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 and successfully defend the Suez Canal,
29:12a point that I will be making in person to 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.
29:31It 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,
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 as 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.
30:33I also have sympathy with the leader articles in the newspapers today,
30:38begging for blood, wanting my head.
30:43People 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.
31:21What ever 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?
31:34Because 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.
32:03Not to you.
32:05Something your dear late papa would certainly have taught you
32:08had he been granted more time to complete your education.
32:13And now our time is up.
32:20Until next week.
32:38Good morning.
32:39The 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,
32:48has worsened overnight.
32:50The great coal-burning electricity stations in Battersea and Fulham
32:53have attempted to reduce emissions of poisonous sulfur dioxide from their 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.
33:03The government is expected to make a statement later today.
33:17Come on.
33:18Let's get you to a hospital.
33:20I'm fine.
33:21You're not.
33:22Come on.
33:25Shoes.
33:34Here we go.
33:36I'm in.
33:39And the other.
33:53I can't breathe.
33:55Do as I say and hold on to me.
34:07I'm in.
34:08Come along.
34:12Who are you?
34:14Well, I'm in, in, in.
34:16Watch down, Link!
34:18You're in.
34:19Watch down!
34:23Go, go!
34:25Quick, hold my hand.
34:27I can't have you now.
34:29Hold on!
34:30I'll have to bet.
34:33.
34:51Control of this story is getting away from us.
34:55The opposition's blood is up. We have to respond.
34:59Respond how?
35:00I would suggest by commissioning a public inquiry.
35:04An inquiry would be expensive.
35:09Winston people are angry.
35:11They see us as the culprits.
35:13Culprits for what? It's fog.
35:16Fog is fog. It comes, and it goes away.
35:20Well, I'm glad that the...
35:22Prime Minister finds time for liberty.
35:24Perhaps I should remind him exactly how serious the situation has now become.
35:28This morning, a suburban twain collided with a gang of well-wing workmen,
35:33killing several and injuring a great many more.
35:36In part of the capital, there is now a total breakdown in law and order.
35:40Hospitals are filling up as our citizens
35:43are breathing in poisonous sulphur 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,
36:06and find a way to blame us for that, too.
36:08It's an act of God, Bobbity.
36:11It's weather.
36:12And for better or for worse,
36:14we 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.
36:23The Duke of Edinburgh.
36:39Telephone, sir.
36:40The Marcus of Salisbury.
36:41Oh, not now.
36:42He asked me to stress the importance of the matter.
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?
37:04Good.
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 than you are?
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
37:40who 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
37:48and whisper in his ear.
37:49Yes.
37:50Something like that.
37:51You know, my day's bad enough
37:52without some delusional girl playing jokes.
37:55Now, excuse me.
38:00I'll show you.
38:00I'm standing on.
38:02Oh, my God.
38:03Here you go.
38:09Where are you?
38:13Oh, here.
38:34Where are you going to get the old man?
38:40The majority is tiny.
38:42A voter no confidence and he'll be toppled.
38:46You know what he calls you?
38:49Yes, I know.
38:50Sheep in sheep's clothing.
38:55Perhaps it's time to approve you're not.
39:03Very well.
39:05Let's put a motion down on paper and brief the whips.
39:20Thank you, sir.
39:36Anything interesting?
39:39Yes?
39:42Care 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.
39:59A dihedral angle or an absolute ceiling.
40:02These 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?
40:11No.
40:13Good.
40:17Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward,
40:22for there you have been, and 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 Manbatten, Your Majesty.
40:49Uncle Dickie, what's he doing here?
40:51I know as much as you do.
40:52He said it was important, that.
41:00And Elizabeth.
41:05Hello.
41:06Came as soon as I cried.
41:09So.
41:12Oh, is...
41:13Is this a meeting with Elizabeth, your niece?
41:16My wife?
41:17Or the queen?
41:19Later, I'm afraid.
41:20Right.
41:21I don't know my place.
41:31What's the matter with him?
41:33Nothing.
41:36He's just feeling a little grounded.
41:39Ignore it.
41:41Right.
41:42All ears.
41:43I received a telephone call today from Robert E. Salisbury.
41:49It seems that even among his own people, the feeling is that our Prime Minister is not able
41:53to deal with a national crisis.
41:57Indeed, he could be seen to be responsible for that crisis.
42:02Hospitals overflowing.
42:04People dying.
42:05As sovereign, you have the right to demand that a government in your name shows effective
42:11leadership.
42:13Your position are now calling for a motion of no confidence.
42:18So, I would say, the time has come for you to summon Churchill and...
42:28And what?
42:32Insist that he go.
42:36I can't do that.
42:38You can.
42:39And should.
42:41But wouldn't that violate the Constitution?
42:45As queen, you have the right to be consulted.
42:54The right to encourage, the right to warn.
42:59Also, to 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.
43:13They are trying.
43:15Well, then they must try harder.
43:16They will.
43:18But would prefer it to be bloodless.
43:22So I have asked for your help and influence.
43:28I cannot do it.
43:30I will not do it.
43:32Let's not forget it was Churchill who denied Philip's children his own surname.
43:37Dickie.
43:38And insisted that you live in Buckingham Palace.
43:40As, alas, did everyone else.
43:42And now, with looters on the street and hospital corridors stacked with the dead,
43:46he is interested in only one thing.
43:51Stopping Philip flying.
43:56What?
43:56At a crisis cabinet meeting this morning, when 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.
44:26The meeting you must attend.
44:27The house can wait.
44:39You wish to see me, Your Majesty?
44:41Yes, Tommy.
44:45I know how much my father depended on you
44:49and how closely you worked together.
44:52Which is why I wanted to ask your advice now.
44:56It seems our Prime Minister,
44:59a man who's led the country through many crises,
45:02is no longer leading us at all.
45:07Representations have been made to me
45:09through an intermediary from the heart of the government
45:13to intercede,
45:16and 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,
45:47the 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?
46:06Well,
46:07His 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,
46:28and 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.
46:54Wait for me here.
47:00Wait for me here.
47:02Huh.
47:04Huh?
47:08Huh?
47:10Huh?
47:11Huh?
47:15Huh?
47:17Whether you're in this house.
47:21Huh?
47:21Huh?
47:22Huh?
47:23Huh?
47:23Like who's feeling?
47:24Huh?
47:56Sir?
47:59Just a child.
48:04A beautiful child.
48:08I just received word from Buckingham Palace.
48:11Oh, no.
48:12The Queen has requested an audience.
48:14When?
48:15At your earliest convenience.
48:21All energy, and hope, and passion, and fire.
48:31Sir?
48:34Damn it, he is.
48:43Did the newspapers know I'm here?
48:46No.
48:49But it could easily be arranged.
48:52Then do it.
48:54And tell the Queen I'll be their first thing in the morning.
49:00After the papers.
49:05The Queen I'll be your last wait.
49:06Was the first thing there on the front?
49:13I love you, too.
49:14Matt, how many times do we need a one-of-kind know the prisoners
49:14and we're not going to fight the men in the middle?
49:14That's what, you know, that love is sacred.
49:19That's what, you know, that's healthy.
49:20Yeah, I love you.
49:24Third God.
49:24Third Get out of my way,
49:25fourth Get out of my way.
49:27Oh, hey, join me now.
49:30Then you gotta go.
49:39Thank God.
49:40Thank God.
49:42Oh, sorry.
49:43Come on down, sir.
49:46We managed to get worse.
49:52Just come on, the Prime Minister will be here in a few moments.
50:11Is there anything, sir?
50:13No, no.
50:20Quiet, please.
50:25Set them down.
50:27Mr. Churchill.
50:28I have witnessed scenes here today,
50:32the likes of which we have not seen since the darkest days of the Blitz.
50:39But alongside the suffering, I've also seen heroism.
50:44And where there is heroism, there will always be hope.
50:51Only God can lift the fog.
50:55But I, as Prime Minister, am in a position to ease the suffering.
51:02To that end, I pledge to make available with immediate effect 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.
51:29Thank you all.
51:37The 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.
51:50And the 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...
52:44Clem, can you...
52:48Bye.
52:51Go.
52:55We saw you...
53:31CHOIR SINGS
53:33The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
53:43Your 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.
54:32Go on.
54:38At that point, she hesitated.
54:41And then she asked me to pick either Khwajgi Nazimudin of Pakistan or Sydney Holland of New Zealand.
54:50Whatever for?
54:51To sit next to at dinner.
54:56She summoned you for that.
54:58Oh, I know.
54:58I think she summoned me to haul me over the coals for my handling of the fog.
55:03But then the fog lifted.
55:05And 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 it disarmed me.
55:23And 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.
56:07And 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.
56:22To 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?
57:22Sir, go 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 in one of these things.
57:31Do you think I could do it in three months?
57:33That would be unusual.
57:34I know.
57:35I'm a farce 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?
58:03They made me duke there, so I should probably show up from time to time, unless you have more pressing
58:08engagements.
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.
58:18Aria fittingly.
58:19Oh, really?
58:19Where's that?
58:20Donkester.
58:21Donkester?
58:23Right.
58:33Donkester.
58:38Donkester.
