02:50By the end of this tour, I think we'll be able to make a qualitative assessment about where the finest
02:56women in the world come from.
02:58For now, however, I can tell you the women of New Guinea are sweeter than those of Ceylon and right
03:04up there with those of Malaya!
03:09I have shared these secrets with you in good faith.
03:12The contents must, like all disclosures of the officers on board are married and would kill me if they knew
03:21what I was writing!
03:24Strict, strict non-disclosure policies apply. What happens on tour stays on tour!
03:31But rest assured, I will keep you updated on our forthcoming adventures.
03:38I sense this will be a momentous, ever, ever your fellow member, Mike!
03:48And, actually, I am good at all!
03:50I mean, but I have a momentous, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.
03:56Oh!
03:59I think I have a momentous, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.
04:04I see that, I think we'll get a momentous, ever.
04:05I see that, but I have to expect that, and I can't see that, and I can remember that.
04:07I have to admit it, and I can't see that, and I have to come back up there in the
04:15world.
07:21Hello?
07:22Hello?
07:24Hello?
07:25Hello?
07:25Hello.
07:25Hello, Philip.
07:27Hello?
07:27Can you hear me?
07:28Yes, yes, I can hear you.
07:37Hello?
07:42Hello?
07:42Elizabeth?
07:45Can you hear me?
07:50I...
07:52Philip?
07:55Oh.
07:58Oh.
08:02Ready for you, sir.
08:09Damn telephones.
08:12Bloody things.
08:13This is why they're bothering some.
08:26At ease, gentlemen.
08:34Well, our adventure is only two weeks old, and it's already taken us nearly 20,000 miles
08:40as we travel to far corners of the world in an attempt to repair the reputation of our country
08:49currently being ruined by our politicians.
08:54I would like to thank each and every one of you for your professionalism.
08:59I would like to thank each and every one of you for your professionalism and discipline.
09:00You have all been brilliant.
09:01All that is except for the football team.
09:04You shoddy, leaky defence and absence of a natural left-sided player led to that rather humiliating defeat
09:11by the seamen's club of all bloody people at Portsmouth.
09:18I should also like to say, if I may, Admiral.
09:22Yes, sir.
09:27It's been wonderful for me, on a personal level, to be back at sea.
09:32The Royal Navy has always occupied a very special place in my life and, indeed, in my heart.
09:41There are few greater pleasures in life than serving on a ship such as this.
09:46That's why it's all so very difficult to leave.
09:49But, leave I must, and fly to Melbourne to open the Olympics there,
09:54where I must generally behave myself, shake a few hands, cut a few ribbons.
09:58It will be hell.
10:01I can assure you.
10:03And I will be counting the minutes until you come and pick me up again,
10:06and we can continue our great adventure.
10:08Now, in the meantime, behave yourselves.
10:11Keep fit.
10:13And don't drink all the bloody beer.
10:20Thank you so much.
10:22Well done, boys.
10:23Well done, boys.
10:24Good stuff.
10:25Thank you so much.
10:27Well done.
10:27Well done.
10:28Well done.
10:41Well done.
10:43What were they thinking?
10:44Should we take a look at the schedule?
10:46Will they tune you up?
10:47Probably not, no.
10:49I've been stripping things out wherever I can, but I'm afraid it's still pretty hectic.
10:53We start with a uranium mine visit in the Northern Territory.
10:56D.P.
10:57Agricultural parades in Sydney, then overdo a British Empire service league conference in Canberra,
11:02and finally garden parties in the government house.
11:05Enjoy.
11:06But I've come up with a nice little stock speech which you can memorize like a miner bird
11:10and deliver each step of the way.
11:15Australia.
11:16And the name itself conjures up such romantic images of progress, ambition, possibility.
11:27It is said that the mark of any great nation is the journey it has endured on its path to
11:33glory.
11:37What a journey Australia must take.
11:46From those early European explorers who landed at your shores, we've endured great hardship and crisis.
11:52Less independently minded nations would have faltered, sought support from the parent nation.
11:58Once so integral to their governance, but Australia forged onwards.
12:05Like it's rugged and at times unforgiving land state, Australia showed true strength, true metal.
12:18You have admirably developed every branch of your life and culture.
12:26And just 200 years have grown into a unique and individual civilization,
12:32which I'm sure will rank among the greatest that the world has seen.
12:47The name's Helen King, 29 years old, writes for The Age, one of the most prominent newspapers here.
12:54She's asked to meet you.
12:57That's me, sir.
12:59What for?
13:00An interview.
13:02I only thought we decided in their interviews.
13:04We did, but in her case I find myself moved to make an exception.
13:08You saw the way she was looking at me?
13:09Yes.
13:10You don't think I'm being delusional.
13:13A gentleman's radar on all that.
13:15No.
13:16Not to mention the way she's followed us every step of the tour.
13:18No, I think we can safely assume this one's a friend, not an enemy.
13:25Yeah.
13:25No, I'll.
13:32The car carrying his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh makes its way out onto the splendid red track tier
13:39on the 7th afternoon in Melbourne.
13:43The crowds are ecstatic as they get their first glimpse of the Duke,
13:47who is reported to be greatly enjoying his time here in Australia.
13:51And now, we're nearly there as the Duke takes his place in the World War.
14:00I declare open the Olympic Games of Melbourne,
14:05celebrating the 16th Olympiad of the modern era.
14:15He looks happy. Once.
14:20The Duke smiles with thunderous applause and thousands of cheers
14:25Yes. Very happy.
14:29You can thank me for that. That's my idea.
14:32I always knew it was a good idea to let him shine, alone.
14:36What a magnificent moment.
14:38Yes, thank you, Marie.
14:47In ancient Greece, the beginning of the games was heralded by the homing of the pigeons.
14:52And so too today.
15:07Ready?
15:08Yes.
15:09Yes.
15:13Mrs. Parker, this way, please.
15:16Mrs. Parker, how can I help?
15:20I'd like to separate from my husband. Better still, divorce.
15:26Do you mind me asking on what grounds?
15:28The fact I never see him.
15:31Absence isn't a legal ground for divorce.
15:37Neglect?
15:38Nor that, I'm afraid.
15:40We're going to need one of the big three.
15:41Adultery, unreasonable behavior, or insanity.
15:44I'm quite sure there has been adultery.
15:47We will need evidence.
15:50That won't be easy.
15:52Because of his job.
15:55Mike works for the Duke of Edinburgh.
15:57In what capacity?
15:59His private secretary.
16:01Oh, I see.
16:03He's also his closest friend.
16:05They're virtually inseparable.
16:08Are you really sure about this?
16:11A divorce can leave a woman quite isolated.
16:15Maybe things will get better if you stick it out.
16:20I tend to think that's always the best way for everyone.
16:25Grass is rarely greener.
16:29I will come back when I have evidence.
16:45You're taking the pethidine?
16:46Yes.
16:47And the pentobarbitone?
16:48Yes, I'm taking the pentobarbitone.
16:51But it doesn't work.
16:53I need something stronger.
16:55There is nothing stronger.
16:59The fact is, in terms of pharmacology, we've gone as far as we can.
17:11I have the greatest sympathy for your condition, Prime Minister.
17:15And I fully understand the need for rest.
17:19But given the challenges that are now facing this country,
17:23you don't feel that you have a responsibility
17:25to execute your duties just a little longer?
17:28I asked the physician the same question, ma'am.
17:31But he insisted.
17:34He felt that I was at the very limit of human endurance.
17:42But the country will be in safe hands.
17:46Mr. Butler will take charge in my absence.
17:50Mr. Head will oversee the withdrawal of our troops from Egypt.
17:54Mr. McMillan will oversee the economic situation.
18:01Economic crisis?
18:05How long do you imagine you'll be away?
18:07Not long, ma'am.
18:10A few weeks.
18:13Well, I suppose one can always reach you at short notice.
18:17It's a point I always make to my private secretaries.
18:20Yes, I'm away.
18:22But Windsor really is just round the corner.
18:25And Norfolk, too.
18:27County Durham, isn't it?
18:30Your family home?
18:34Jamaica, ma'am.
18:37Your family home?
18:38Where the doctor felt I should be going.
18:41He specified Jamaica.
18:43He specified sunshine, tropical sunshine.
18:46He said he felt my life might depend on it.
18:53What would he prescribe for the rest of us?
18:56Do you imagine?
19:00Prime Minister.
19:02Your Majesty.
19:38Excuse me.
19:40Excuse me.
19:41You work in there, don't you?
19:44At the Thursday Club as a waitress?
19:47Who's asking?
19:48My name is Eileen.
19:49Do you have a minute?
19:51What can I do for you?
19:54I'd like you to tell me what goes on inside.
19:59Are you a reporter or something?
20:00No, no. Nothing like that.
20:02Just a wife of one of the members.
20:05And mother to his children.
20:07You may know him. His name is Mike.
20:09There are so many gentlemen.
20:11Mike Parker.
20:15You do know him, don't you?
20:19Mike would have made sure of that.
20:21You're just his type.
20:24Look, one day you will be married too,
20:26and I sincerely hope that you make a good choice.
20:29But if you don't, and you meet a man who makes you unhappy,
20:33then as a woman I would wish for you to be able to leave that man easily.
20:38Painlessly.
20:40So if there is anything you can tell me that might make my leaving easier.
20:44I'm sorry, Mrs. Parker, but I know nothing of your husband.
20:50Here is my address and, um, and her number.
20:54Just...
20:57If anything should occur to you.
21:12No, we're not having to leave.
21:16It's fine.
21:17No.
21:19There is no one.
21:21There is no one.
21:21The corpse is everywhere,
21:22and there's no one.
21:24The corpse is everywhere.
21:26It's not very good.
21:27The corpse is everywhere.
21:35Martin, do you have a minute, Michael?
21:38I think it's important.
21:40Coming.
21:44I'm going to ask you to go through it again.
21:47Yes, the provenance of this room is quite arcane.
21:51Your sister?
21:52Sister-in-law.
21:53Had lunch with her aunt, who had just spent the weekend at...
21:58Chumley Castle.
21:58At which one of the other guests was the bridge partner...
22:03Tennis.
22:05...of the solicitor visited by Eileen Parker.
22:11I think that's it.
22:13That's half Britain already.
22:15And all of these people now know Mrs. Parker is seeking a divorce.
22:23Yes.
22:25It's unfortunate.
22:27It'll be hard to contain.
22:30What are Mrs. Parker's grievances?
22:39And neglect, unreasonable behavior, and infidelity.
22:46Just a wife's suspicions, nothing concrete.
22:49But I believe specific mention was made of a lunch club where Lieutenant Commander Parker and the Duke of Edinburgh
22:54are...
22:55Don't tell me.
22:57Frequent guests.
22:59Actually, founder members.
23:03Keep an eye on this for me, would you, Martin?
23:05Keep an eye on this for me, Martin?
23:06How close are they?
23:07You're having problems, please, Jane.
23:09Here it is.
23:21Madam.
23:23Thank you very much.
23:34Thank you very much.
23:54Just bear with me while I put my things down and set up.
23:57Please.
24:09Just going to put a microphone right here.
24:11Can I help?
24:13No, it's fine.
24:18Right.
24:19I think that's it.
24:21Right.
24:22Well, I'll leave you two to it then.
24:24Thank you, Michael.
24:25Please.
24:32Where are you when you are?
24:34Well, we can't really start without passing comment on the situation in Egypt and the international
24:38response.
24:40Why?
24:40Why?
24:43Huge demonstrations on the streets of London.
24:46Eden caving in to international pressure and calling a ceasefire.
24:49You don't think it's a pretty significant moment for your country?
24:52Perhaps.
24:53But I'm not going to pass comment on that.
24:55Why not?
24:56It's not my job.
24:57It's not what members of the royal family do.
25:00But you must have thoughts about it.
25:02Of course.
25:03Not a vegetable.
25:04But my thoughts on issues like that remain a private matter.
25:11One can't help wondering where it leaves Britain's place in the world.
25:15Oh, I'm sure Britain will be fine.
25:17No.
25:17The view from over here is that Britain has been publicly humiliated.
25:21Oh.
25:22As someone with surprisingly progressive views, that must concern you.
25:27I have progressive views.
25:29You don't think that you do?
25:32Televising the coronation?
25:34Advocating modernization?
25:35That's just common sense.
25:36If you're a progressive, one prepared to make changes.
25:40Well, let's just say that I learned very early on that it's wise not to take things for granted.
25:44You're referring to your family.
25:47How they had to leave Greece in the revolution.
25:50Your grandfather was shot.
25:51Your father fled to avoid being shot.
25:54Yes, correct.
25:58Well, you see, there's so much that people don't really know about you.
26:05I can assure you it's all been rather embellished.
26:08The truth is really quite dull.
26:11Dull?
26:12How you personally fled Corfu in an orange crate.
26:15And then in childhood, in exile, always on the move.
26:18Exile is too strong a word.
26:20Too emotional.
26:21Just how it was for everyone.
26:22Just got on with it.
26:26But it can't have been easy.
26:30Was the trauma of being in exile what brought on your mother's illness, do you think?
26:40More illness.
26:42Well, the information I have is that she suffered a breakdown.
26:53Things weren't easy for her.
26:57But she got on with it.
26:58She was taken away, wasn't she?
27:00To an institution.
27:02And then your father promptly abandoned the family, ran off with his mistress?
27:05I don't know what you've been reading, or who you've been speaking to,
27:09but both my mother and my father played very active roles in all their children's lives.
27:13So it isn't true that you didn't see your father for the last six years of his life?
27:16I think if we're to remain friends, we really should move on.
27:20All right.
27:23May I ask you about your education?
27:26Sir.
27:33Sir.
27:36What about it?
27:37That was pretty unusual, too.
27:39I went to boarding school in Britain.
27:40I knew what's unusual about that.
27:42For a while, but then you were taken out of there and sent to school in Germany.
27:46Because my sisters lived there.
27:47Your Nazi sisters.
27:49Oh, Christ.
27:50One of whom was married to a close personal friend of Hitler's.
27:52I was at school in Germany for less than a year before I returned to the United Kingdom.
27:57What point are you trying to make here?
27:59I think it's pretty clear which side I was on.
28:01My record in the war speaks for itself.
28:02I'm simply saying that your background is so much more interesting and complex than people
28:07might imagine.
28:07Do they imagine anything?
28:08I think people are curious.
28:12There is this striking, handsome man, walking beside the most famous woman in the world.
28:19Who is he?
28:22Well, I hate to disappoint.
28:27But he really is just a normal man.
28:30In what from the outside probably looks like rather a strange life.
28:34But from the inside really is no different to anyone else's.
28:41I don't think there's anything about you that's like anyone else.
28:46From a young age, you were effectively orphaned.
28:49Your favorite sister, Cecile, also a Nazi, died in a plane crash.
28:52Yeah, I really think we should move on now.
28:54What kind of impact does that have on a man?
28:57That's the kind of trauma that will doubtless have a bearing on how your own children and
29:02the future king of England abroad are.
29:04It's enough.
29:08I think people have a right to know about their leaders, don't you?
29:12Especially ones that can't be thrown out with free and fair elections.
29:20Just don't ever let my vanity get the better of me again.
29:45Christ.
29:47Christ.
29:49Christ.
29:53Christ.
29:54Christ.
29:54Christ.
29:55Christ.
29:55Christ.
29:56Christ.
30:01Christ.
30:29Kensington 8953, hello?
30:35We met a few times in various locations.
30:48Afterwards he'd tell me about his job, the company he keeps.
30:59You didn't mention a wife, or children.
31:08I'm so sorry.
31:13If you are really sorry, I want to make my life easier.
31:21Of course.
31:24We will need you to make an official statement and give evidence in court.
31:29I can't do that. I would lose my job, my reputation.
31:31I'm afraid that's what the law requires.
31:33No.
31:37No.
31:39So you telephoned me and agreed to come here today for what, precisely?
31:44To put colour into my nightmares?
31:47I'm sorry.
32:00No.
32:13No.
32:15No.
32:15No.
32:27No.
32:35No.
32:41No.
32:42No.
33:09No.
33:10No.
33:11No.
33:12No.
33:12No.
33:12But I'm delighted to say, that during that time, we will be without reporters.
33:18We will be without... photographers.
33:22We will be out of the world's eye!
33:26And with that in mind, I think Michael's got a suggestion.
33:30Thank you. Right, gentlemen.
33:31Yes, I'd like to propose something a little unusual.
33:34Something I'm fairly sure none of us has ever participated in before.
33:38A beard-growing competition!
33:42Now, special dispensation has been given to the dozen or so men who already have beards.
33:48Shave them off!
33:48And they'll act as judges for the rest of our efforts, all right?
33:53Yeah!
33:55Hey, Chris!
33:56Hey!
33:56Hey, Chris!
33:58Hey!
33:58Hey!
33:59Hey!
34:13There's something you have not seen before.
34:15You can't see it now, Bill.
34:18Hey!
34:19Hey!
34:20Hey!
34:23Hey!
34:45Hey!
34:46Hey, come on!
34:50Hey, come on!
34:50To who? The men on board?
34:52No, to the half a billion people that make up the Commonwealth of Nations.
34:57In the Lord Chamberlain's office, they'd like you to make a companion Christmas speech to the Queens.
35:01A thousand words, preferably uplifting in tone and Christian in sentiment,
35:06with as many references as possible to the importance of family and the sanctity of marriage.
35:12What if I don't want to?
35:14Well, I'm afraid no provisions appear to have been made for your having an opinion about that,
35:18or indeed anything else.
35:21Because of seniority, your speech will come second at the usual time, 3pm.
35:28However, on Christmas morning, the Duke of Edinburgh is expected to be in Graham Land,
35:34which is in the Antarctic Peninsula, which is ten hours behind us.
35:37So he'll have to get up at the crack of dawn to make his speech.
35:40May I ask why he's making a speech?
35:44Um?
35:45Well, it's not usual, is it?
35:48No, it is extraordinary.
35:51Um, I think the feeling was that with Your Majesty and His Royal Highness,
35:56having not been seen in public together so long,
36:01being at least heard together...
36:04No, I see. It might reassure people that all is still well.
36:07I wouldn't go that far, ma'am.
36:09Well, I would. And I think it's a good idea.
36:12Yeah. Thank you, Michael.
36:20May I just ask, just out of curiosity,
36:26what's the longest amount of time that you and Lady Adeen have been separated?
36:31Uh, three weeks, I think.
36:35I see. And would you say that you thrive or suffer from a separation?
36:42We don't much care for it, ma'am.
36:44Helen, in particular, believes that little good comes from a couple being apart,
36:50but a husband and wife belong together.
36:57Of course.
37:00Ma'am.
37:04Ma'am.
37:07Ma'am.
37:07My son says,
37:07I'm always .
37:25My son says,
37:48Yes, sir.
37:52What's up?
37:52Australian Naval Patrol boat.
37:54It's your mayor's Warren has put out a distress call.
37:56They picked up a fishing boat out of power and it's drifted for days.
38:00One man left alive and he nearly drowned trying to fix the hull.
38:02He suffered a broken rib cage and his lung may be punctured.
38:05And the Warren doesn't have a doctor on board.
38:07Your mind is dying.
38:08Are we the nearest ship?
38:09There's a French freighter that's three miles further out.
38:12We are the nearest ship.
38:14Set your course.
38:16Bring her about.
38:18Coming about.
38:19Time to breathe.
38:37в
39:05He's out of the water.
39:06You hear me?
39:08The rest of his crew must have drowned.
39:10There's no log on board, so we don't know who he is or where he's from.
39:13It doesn't matter who he is or where he's from.
39:15He was the captain of his ship.
39:18That's where it counts.
39:20He's one of us.
39:24You know, it's out of the question, sir.
39:26Why?
39:27We have a strict schedule in spite of an official term.
39:31And to take the man back to wherever he came from would be to turn back in entirely the wrong
39:35direction.
39:36It'd take days, maybe a whole week off our important schedule.
39:40We can make that time up.
39:41The man's fortunate enough, we saved his life.
39:44We'll simply drop him off at the next destination and that'll be that.
39:47He will be needlessly separated from his home.
39:50Find himself in a strange country with a foreign language, away from his family.
39:55Not my concern.
39:57Another vessel with less important duties might find time for such sentimental charity.
40:02We've done our important duties and are on the way home.
40:06Effectively a glorified pleasure cruiser with an abundance of fuel and time to spare.
40:12Sir, my decision as flag officer is no.
40:15And my decision as admiral of the fleet is that we do.
40:26There is only one person in command of the vessel.
40:34It's the flag officer.
40:37If you'd recall your naval training, you'd remember.
40:41I do recall my naval training as it happens.
40:44Manning command posts on destroyers during the war, the same war which I believe you spent on shore duty.
40:51I have never abused my privileges and I don't intend to start now but this is the Royal Yacht.
40:56I am on it representing the crown and I say turn it around and take this man home.
41:01I am on it by the way home.
41:08I am on it.
41:10I am on the way home.
41:12I am on it.
41:18I am on it.
41:18I am on it.
41:22I am on my own.
41:25I am on it.
41:26Dear friends, after 20 eventful weeks at sea visiting five continents and covering many thousands of miles,
41:34I'm happy to report that we saved our greatest adventure for last.
41:39As the Royal Yacht Britannia turned naval rescue and we fished a shipwrecked mariner under the water.
41:47Our brilliant surgeons operated on him.
41:49Then we went out of our way to return him to his home, his family and his people.
42:15The Royal Yacht Britannia
42:33And what people, what family, what home.
43:09Our Royal Yacht Britannia
43:12ever grow tired of your colourless
43:14and empty lives in London.
43:17I suggest immediate
43:19relocation to the discreet island
43:20nations nestled around Tonga.
43:24Surely the closest one can come
43:26to heaven on earth.
43:30Never have we received such a
43:32welcome or eaten
43:35so well.
43:37Never have I experienced
43:39such a willingness to
43:40set oneself free and
43:43enjoy.
43:45And nowhere
43:47on earth, and we have
43:49by this point travelled across
43:50almost every inch,
43:53have we encountered
43:55such
43:56beautiful women.
44:14These really have been the most
44:16remarkable few days.
44:19And it is with the
44:21greatest reluctance
44:22that after three days here,
44:24we tear ourselves away,
44:26each of us
44:27not a little bit,
44:29but a great deal
44:30in love.
44:46that is your husband's
44:48handwriting, isn't it?
44:53you said you needed evidence.
44:59That's not a royal tour,
45:00that one.
45:01It's a five-month
45:02stag night.
45:04Whores in every port.
45:13Good luck.
45:15Good luck.
45:16Good luck.
45:17Good luck.
46:01Happy Christmas.
46:03Happy Christmas.
46:04Hello.
46:05I'm both cold.
46:07It's a joke.
46:09It's a joke.
46:12It's a joke.
46:17All right.
46:21Oh, don't hold it, I'll take you.
46:24It's just a room.
46:26That's what it's ours.
46:28Oh, everyone.
46:35Written it, yes?
46:37No.
46:39I'm waiting for inspiration to strike.
46:44Might I suggest some gung-ho platitudes
46:46about Christmas in the Commonwealth?
46:49That's what they want me to say.
46:52I mean what I want to say.
46:57Right.
47:04Have you got it yet?
47:06Where is that?
47:06Nearly there.
47:07You again.
47:08Where exactly is Philip?
47:10Graham Land, last I heard.
47:13Where's that?
47:18Dickie, where's Graham Land?
47:20No, Antarctica.
47:21What is it?
47:22Is that north or is that south?
47:24It's north.
47:25No, don't be silly, Mummy.
47:26It's south.
47:27Does anyone actually know?
47:28Yes, because the Arctic is north,
47:31and so Antarctica is non-north, isn't it, Dickie?
47:35What's non-north?
47:37Come.
47:40It's time.
47:41Good.
47:42Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses.
47:44Oh, can you see me, children?
47:45And now, the Christmas announce
47:47from His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh.
47:52Good morning.
47:54This is Britannia.
47:56I'm speaking to you from the edge of the South Pacific,
47:5959 degrees south and 60 degrees west.
48:02You have to turn the globe upside down to find this place.
48:05Indeed, a few of us aboard the Royal Yacht feel a little upside down,
48:09having never been this far from home.
48:13The remoteness of the location presents one with a precious opportunity to think.
48:18About one's own life.
48:21One's own way of living.
48:24We've travelled the world now, and seen all manner of tribes, societies and cultures.
48:31We've had endless debates about which places have the best systems of government,
48:35or justice, or the most interesting religions.
48:38And we've been amazed and impressed by so much of what we've seen.
48:44Naturally, it has led us to examine our own lives,
48:47and the way we live.
48:50The things we take for granted.
48:52Is that really Philip?
48:53Some sort of Philip impersonator?
48:57Why?
48:57Why?
48:57It just sounds so odd.
48:59So different.
49:05And here I am, almost 10,000 miles from London,
49:09surrounded by empty water.
49:14It's a fine life on board a ship, but it can be a solitary one.
49:22We are men together.
49:28But we each stand alone.
49:50We can ask to tell you that they're ready for you.
49:55Right.
49:59Last minute changes?
50:02Something like that.
50:03May I help?
50:05No.
50:27We are ready for you, ma'am.
50:31Yes.
50:38Happy Christmas.
50:39Happy Christmas.
50:41Happy Christmas.
50:41Happy Christmas.
50:43Happy Christmas.
50:44The people of Britain and the Commonwealth
50:46will now listen to the voice of Her Majesty the Queen.
50:52Hello.
50:58Once again, messages of Christmas greeting
51:01have been exchanged around the world,
51:04carried upon the invisible wings of 20th century science.
51:11And of all those many messages from all corners of the Commonwealth, none has given us greater
51:19pleasure than hearing those of my husband from the remote and lonely spaces of Antarctica.
51:31To him I say, from all the members of your family gathered here today,
51:40our very best wishes go to you on board Britannia.
51:46A very large, united family is waiting for you here.
51:57And will always be waiting for you, wherever you are.
52:17I would like to express my gratitude to those men and women of the Commonwealth, whose efforts
52:24in our great cities.
52:54And I think that there are many other things that I have come to do.
52:58A very special person, who truly thinks the world is a new and modern,
53:11they have to keep their families of their own lives.
53:13When you think about the world in a sharing group,
53:14You'll be here to achieve your journey.
53:14I'm here to go, that you're here to share the story of your family,
53:16and you'll see the story of your family.
53:18I don't want to share the story of your family,
53:24I don't want to share your family with your family.
53:28You alright?
53:31Fine.
53:40A speech.
53:44What about it?
53:47Touching.
53:49Unexpected touching.
53:53Call me off guard.
53:58I might even have to confess to feeling a little...
54:04Homesick?
54:09Yes.
54:13Nice.
54:21...
