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!
03:45Thank you!
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.
10:19Thank you so much.
10:22Well done, boys.
10:23Well done.
10:24Well done.
10:25Good stuff.
10:25Thank you so much.
10:27Well done.
10:27Well done.
10:28Well done.
10:29You're a...
10:30Very good.
10:30Yeah!
10:37So depressing, this sewers business.
10:39Well, you don't read about it, then.
10:42I can't help myself.
10:43What were they thinking?
10:44Should we take a look at the schedule?
10:46Would you like to tune it up?
10:47Probably not, no.
10:49I've been stripping things out wherever I can, but I'm afraid it's still pretty hectic.
10:52We start with a uranium mine visit in the Northern Territory,
10:57agricultural parades in Sydney,
10:59then 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,
11:08which you can memorize like a minor bird,
11:10and deliver each step of the way.
11:15Australia.
11:16And the name itself conjures up such romantic images of progress,
11:20ambition, possibility.
11:28It is said that the mark of any great nation is the journey it has endured
11:32on its path to glory.
11:37What a journey Australia must take.
11:46From those early European explorers who landed at your shores,
11:49have endured great hardship and crisis.
11:52Less independently-minded nations would have faltered,
11:55sought support from the parent nation.
11:57Once so integral to their governance,
12:00but Australia forged onwards.
12:04like it's rugged and at times unforgiving land state,
12:10Australia showed true strength,
12:13true 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.
12:48the name's Helen King, 29 years old,
12:51writes 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 thought we decided no 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.
13:13The gentleman's radar and all that.
13:15No.
13:16Not to mention the way she's followed us every step of the tour.
13:18No.
13:19I think we can safely assume this one's a friend, not an enemy.
13:25No.
13:25No.
13:32The car,
13:33carrying His Royal Highness,
13:35the Duke of Edinburgh,
13:37makes his way out onto the splendid red tracks here
13:39on the pleasant afternoon in Melbourne.
13:43The crowd,
13:44the excaples as they get their first glimpse of the Duke.
13:47He 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.
14:00I declare open the Olympic Games of Melbourne,
14:05celebrating the 16th Olympiad of the modern era.
14:15He looks happy.
14:18Once.
14:20The Duke smiles with thunderous applause and thousands of cheers
14:25from the fighting spectators reverberate around the crowded states.
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.
14:54And so too today.
15:22It's a good moment.
15:23Better 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 behaviour or insanity.
15:44I'm quite sure there has been adultery.
15:47We will need evidence.
15:50That won't be easy because 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.
17:10I 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, you don't feel that you have a responsibility to execute
17:27your duties just a little longer.
17:28I asked the physician the same question, ma'am.
17:31But he insisted.
17:35He felt that I was at the very limit of human endurance.
17:42But the country will be in safe hands.
17:45Mr. Butler will take charge in my absence.
17:50Mr. Head will oversee the withdrawal of our troops from Egypt.
17:55And Mr. Macmillan 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.
18:45Tropical sunshine.
18:46He said he felt my life might depend on it.
18:54What would he prescribe for the rest of us?
18:56Do you imagine?
19:01Prime Minister.
19:03Your Majesty.
19:38Excuse me.
19:40Excuse me.
19:41Excuse 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.
19:50Do you have a minute?
19:51What can I do for you?
19:54I'd like you to tell me what goes on inside.
19:58Are you a reporter or something?
20:00No, no.
20:01Nothing like that.
20:02Just a wife of one of the members.
20:05And mother to his children.
20:07You may know him.
20:08His name is Mike.
20:09There are so many gentlemen.
20:11Mike Parker.
20:15You do know him, don't you?
20:19Mike.
20:19Mike would have made sure of that.
20:21You're just his type.
20:24Look, one day you will be married too, and I sincerely hope that you make a good choice.
20:29But if you don't, and you meet a man who makes you unhappy, then as a woman I would wish
20:35for you to be able to leave that man easily, painlessly.
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 my number.
20:55Just...
20:57If anything should occur to you.
21:14I need two more, Martin.
21:16It's alright.
21:35Martin.
21:36Do 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.
21:47The 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.
21:59At 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.
22:12That's half Britain already.
22:15And all of these people now know...
22:18Mrs. Parker...
22:20...is seeking a divorce.
22:23Yes.
22:25It's unfortunate.
22:27It'll be hard to contain.
22:31What are...
22:33Mrs. Parker's...
22:37...grievances?
22:39Neglect.
22:41Unreasonable behavior.
22:44And...
22:44...infidelity.
22:46Just a wife's suspicions.
22:48Nothing concrete.
22:49But I believe...
22:50...specific mention was made of a lunch club...
22:52...where Lieutenant Commander Parker and the Duke of Edinburgh...
22:55Don't tell me.
22:57Frequent guests.
22:59Actually...
22:59...founder members.
23:03Keep an eye on this for me, would you, Martin?
23:06A close eye.
23:07There.
23:08There it is.
23:21Madam.
23:22Thank you very much.
23:30The command is approved.
23:32Your mission is to speak down.
23:33Hello.
23:34Speak down.
23:35Thanks.
23:36The command is first, please.
23:42Ready, sir?
23:43Certainly.
23:45His Royal Highness is the Duke of Edinburgh.
23:47Thank you for seeing me, sir.
23:49Not at all.
23:53Well, erm...
23:54Just bear with me when I put my things down and set up.
23:58Please.
24:09Just going to put a microphone right here.
24:11Can I help?
24:13No.
24:13It's fine.
24:18Right.
24:19I think that's it.
24:21Right.
24:22Well, I'll...
24:22I'll leave you two to it, then.
24:24Thank you, Michael.
24:25Please.
24:32Ready when you are?
24:34Well, we can't really start without passing comment on the situation in Egypt and the international response.
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 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.
25:17The view from over here is that Britain has been publicly humiliated.
25:20Oh.
25:22As someone with surprisingly progressive views, that must concern you.
25:27I have progressive views.
25:29You don't think that you do?
25:31Televising the coronation?
25:33Advocating 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 learnt 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, too emotional.
26:21Just how it was for everyone.
26:22You just 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?
26:40What illness?
26:42Well, the information I have is that she suffered a breakdown.
26:53Things weren't easy for her.
26:56But 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?
27:06I don't know what you've been reading, or who you've been speaking to, but both my mother and my father
27:10played 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 were to remain friends, we really should move on.
27:20All right.
27:23May I ask you about your education?
27:27Sir.
27:35What about it?
27:37That was pretty unusual, too.
27:39I went to boarding school in Britain. I knew what was unusual about that.
27:42For a while, but then you were taken out of there and sent to school in Germany.
27:45Because my sisters lived there.
27:48Your 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 might imagine.
28:07Do they imagine anything?
28:08I think people are curious.
28:12There is this striking, handsome man.
28:15Walking 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.
28:30And 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.
28:53Yeah, 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 the future king
29:02of England abroad are.
29:03It'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.
29:27Oh.
29:28You're a man.
29:34No, you're a man.
29:34I'm so full of people who are near me.
29:39You're a man.
29:43Oh, my God.
29:45Christ!
29:47You're a man.
29:49By my way.
29:49I don't know.
30:27Kensington 8953, hello.
30:35We met a few times in various locations.
30:49Afterwards, he'd tell me about his job, the company he keeps.
30:59You didn't mention a wife.
31:03Or children.
31:08I'm so sorry.
31:14If 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.
31:30I 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.
31:55My sources now tell me that Mrs. Parker has gone as far as bringing a waitress from a Thursday lunch
32:00club to see her divorce line.
32:02I gather the waitress has not provided hard evidence on this occasion, just hearsay.
32:08They were obviously getting close.
32:09This cannot be allowed to go one single step further, Martin.
32:14No.
32:14If Mrs. Parker succeeds in getting her divorce, the newspapers would make a not unreasonable assumption that anything that Lieutenant
32:24Commander Parker has done, the Duke of Edinburgh has done too.
32:28We do not want words like infidelity and divorce swirling around.
32:34No.
32:34Whether there is any truth in the allegations or not, it would shatter up the interoperable marriage and jeopardize the
32:43entire monarchy.
32:47Any ideas?
32:50Stand easy.
32:51Stand easy.
32:52Right.
32:53Our grown-up duties are done.
32:54The Olympics are officially up and running, which means, gentlemen, we can now get on with the important business at
33:00hand.
33:00Our tour!
33:02Hooray!
33:05We have nine weeks between now and our arrival home.
33:09In that time, we will be visiting the remotest parts of the Commonwealth.
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.
33:31Right, 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.
33:46Men already have beards.
33:48Shave them off.
33:49And they're like to judge it for the rest of our efforts.
33:52All right?
33:53Yeah!
34:13We can't see it now, Bill.
34:17We can't see it now, Bill.
34:43Right.
34:44In their infinite wisdom, the powers that be have decided they would like you to make a Christmas feast.
34:49What?
34:50To who?
34:51The men on board?
34:52Uh, no.
34:53To 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.
35:01Thousand words, preferably uplifting in tone and Christian in sentiment, with as many references as possible to the importance of
35:08family 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, or indeed anything
35:19else.
35:21Because of seniority, your speech will come second, at the usual time, 3 p.m.
35:29However, on Christmas morning, the Duke of Edinburgh is expected to be in Graham Land, which is in the Antarctic
35:34Peninsula, 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 having not been seen in public
35:59together so long, being 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.
36:10And I think it's a good idea.
36:13Thank you, Michael.
36:20May I just ask, just out of curiosity, what's the longest amount of time that you and Lady Adeen have
36:29been separated?
36:31Uh, three weeks, I think.
36:35See, and would you say that you thrive or suffer from the 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, but a husband and wife belong together.
36:52Well, of course.
37:01Ma'am.
37:02Oh, my God.
37:05Oh, my God.
37:12Oh, my God.
37:19Oh, my God.
37:20Oh, my God.
37:21Oh, my God.
37:21Oh, my God.
37:22Oh, my God.
37:23Oh, my God.
37:24Oh, my God.
37:28Oh, my God.
37:48Yes, sir.
37:51What's up?
37:52Australian naval patrol boat.
37:54It's Jameis Warren has put out a distress call.
37:56They picked up a fishing boat out of power
37:58and it's drifted for days.
37:59Only one man left alive
38:01and he nearly drowned trying to fix the hull.
38:02He suffered a broken rib cage
38:03and his lung made me punctured.
38:05And the war really doesn't have a doctor on board.
38:07Your man is dying.
38:08Are we the nearest ship?
38:09There's a French freighter three miles further out.
38:12We are the nearest ship.
38:14Set your course.
38:16Bring her about.
38:18Coming about.
38:199 to 3.
38:202 to 3.
38:212 to 3.
38:495.
38:50They're first from the ship, you're on the side of the east.
38:56Tracks!
39:03Howdy.
39:05We fished him out of the water floating near his boat.
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 the ship.
39:18That's where it counts.
39:20He's one of us.
39:24You know, it's out of the question, sir.
39:27Why?
39:28We have a strict schedule, it's part 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, find himself in a strange country with a foreign language, away from
39:54his 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.
41:25My dear friends, after twenty eventful weeks at sea visiting five continents and covering
41:31many thousands of miles, I'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.
42:10And we turned away to them, his family and his sisters were gone.
42:20And the
42:33And what people, what family, what home.
43:10Should you Thursday club members ever grow tired of your colourless and empty lives in London,
43:17I suggest immediate relocation to the discrete island nations nestled around Tonga.
43:24Surely the closest one can come to heaven on earth.
43:30Never have we received such a welcome, or eaten so well.
43:37Never have I experienced such a willingness to set oneself free and enjoy.
43:45And nowhere on earth, and we have by this point travelled across almost every inch,
43:52how much have we encountered such beautiful women.
44:13These really have been the most remarkable few days.
44:19And it is with the greatest reluctance that after three days here we tear ourselves away.
44:26Each of us, not a little bit, but a great deal in love.
44:46That is your husband's handwriting, isn't it?
44:53But you said you needed evidence.
44:59That's not a royal tour, that one.
45:01It's a five month stag night, whores in every port.
45:13Good luck.
45:19Uh, thank you.
45:27I don't know.
46:02I don't know.
46:20I don't know.
46:20I'm coming over.
46:21I love you.
46:22Oh, yeah.
46:23Oh.
46:24Oh.
46:29Oh.

47:40it's time good your majesties your royal highnesses
47:52good morning this is britannia i'm speaking to you from the edge of the south pacific
47:5959 degrees south and 60 degrees west you 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 having never been this far from
48:11home
48:13the remoteness of the location presents one with a precious opportunity to think
48:19about one's own life
48:21about one's own life
48:21one's own way of living
48:24we've traveled 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 or justice or the most interesting
48:36religions and we've been amazed and impressed by so much of what we've seen
48:43in the world
48:44naturally it has led us to examine our own lives
48:47and the way we live
48:49the things we take for granted
48:51is that really philip? some sort of
48:54philip impersonator
48:56why? it 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
49:17it's a fine life on board a ship
49:18but it can be a solitary one
49:22we are men together
49:27but we each stand alone
49:29but we each stand alone
49:50and ask to tell you that they're ready for you

50:58Once again, messages of Christmas greeting have been exchanged around the world, carried
51:05upon the invisible wings of 20th-century science, and of all those many messages from all corners
51:15of the Commonwealth, none has given us greater pleasure than hearing those of my husband from
51:25the remote and lonely spaces of Antarctica.
51:31To him I say, from all the members of your family gathered here today, our very best wishes
51:41go 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.
52:46Thank you so much for joining us today.
52:56I don't know.
53:17There you are.
53:28You alright?
53:31Fine.
53:41A speech.
53:44What about it?
53:47Touching.
53:50Unexpectedly touching.
53:53Caught me off guard.
53:58I might even have to confess to feeling a little...
54:04Homesick.
54:08Yes.
54:12Yes.
54:14Yes.
54:15Yes.
54:29Yes.
54:42Yes.
