00:00:11If your sweetheart sends a letter a good-bye,
00:00:26it's no secret.
00:00:29You feel the record.
00:00:33This way, by the way.
00:00:43The end of the bar.
00:00:49Hello.
00:00:50Hello, Porchy.
00:00:54Find the place all right now?
00:00:55Taxi driver, dear?
00:00:57Yes.
00:00:58Of course.
00:01:00Wonderful.
00:01:15Is it just me or is this place faintly ridiculous?
00:01:20Two of my great hates in life, fine dining in central London.
00:01:25I just thought it's the kind of special occasion place one came if one had a special question
00:01:31to ask.
00:01:43This moment I wish I were a poet, not a horse breeder.
00:01:55Will you marry me?
00:02:01Oh, poor G.
00:02:03That sounds like a no.
00:02:05No.
00:02:06No.
00:02:06It's not a no.
00:02:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:13Twelve no's.
00:02:14I would love to.
00:02:16On one condition.
00:02:19That you don't still hold a torch for her.
00:02:22Who?
00:02:25Oh.
00:02:27Her.
00:02:36I know how close you were and how close your families still are.
00:02:41It's true.
00:02:41She and I, we are close.
00:02:43I was close to her father.
00:02:45I am close to her sister.
00:02:46Our families are close.
00:02:48In many ways, and I speak as a breeder myself, it would have been a good match.
00:02:52Perfect match.
00:02:53I won't deny it.
00:02:56Except for the fact it was never on the cards.
00:03:03For her, there was only ever Philip.
00:03:17What?
00:03:17I won't deny it.
00:03:22And for you?
00:03:31It was only you.
00:06:02Yes, I'll let him know.
00:06:06I'm sure he'll be delighted.
00:06:08Bye.
00:06:18Are you winning?
00:06:20No.
00:06:22There was one brief tantalizing moment when I thought I had it.
00:06:28I moved in for the kill, but then one wrong brush stroke and it got away once again.
00:06:39I've just been talking to you.
00:06:40I've just been talking to Jock about your 80th birthday.
00:06:42Oh, don't mention it.
00:06:44Because it happens on the same day as the opening of Parliament, they've decided to combine events and hold a
00:06:51reception in your honour at the Great Hall.
00:06:53Oh, that's very nice.
00:06:55Oh, and it's going to be Graham Sutherland.
00:06:58Who?
00:06:59The painter.
00:07:00To paint your portrait.
00:07:01What portrait?
00:07:03It's the official portrait commissioned by both houses.
00:07:06It's your present.
00:07:08It's your present.
00:07:09Sutherland?
00:07:09Hmm.
00:07:11Never heard of him.
00:07:12He's got quite the reputation.
00:07:14He's a modernist.
00:07:15I'm not sure I can trust a modernist with an English name.
00:07:19Give me a German modernist.
00:07:22Or an Italian.
00:07:24They're the ones who have to start all over again.
00:07:27Whatever would an Englishman want to change?
00:07:51It's grand to be home again after so long an absence.
00:07:55The surgeon who operated on me told me yesterday that all was well.
00:08:00I'll need to have a further period of convalescence.
00:08:04Put on some weight.
00:08:06There's nothing else to worry about.
00:08:09As I said, it's grand to be home again.
00:08:13I look forward to being back at work just as soon as possible.
00:08:37Hello?
00:08:39Porchy.
00:08:40I hope I'm not disturbing.
00:08:42Goodness.
00:08:43Am I disturbing?
00:08:47No.
00:08:48Good.
00:08:49It's all real.
00:08:50I think we're making a mistake.
00:08:52I think we should lead from the start.
00:08:55And I think you're wrong.
00:08:57But we both know he doesn't hold up naturally.
00:08:59We tried holding him up against Darius before, and Darius won.
00:09:03That was the Guineas, which is a mile.
00:09:06This is the King George.
00:09:08A mile and a half.
00:09:11What will we do if he plays up before the race?
00:09:13He always plays up.
00:09:15That's who he is.
00:09:16You don't seem the slightest bit worried.
00:09:20Anything else?
00:09:22Well, can I just say one more time, for the record, I think we should start fast and run at
00:09:30a good clip.
00:09:33Noted.
00:09:34I am right sometimes, you know.
00:09:36Even you said yourself that I have good instincts.
00:09:39You do.
00:09:41I might well live to regret it.
00:09:44That and a good many other things.
00:09:46Oh, dear.
00:09:48Such is.
00:09:49Good night.
00:10:29Mr. Sutherland, Prime Minister.
00:10:31Good morning.
00:10:32How do you do?
00:10:33Good morning.
00:10:33Hello.
00:10:34How do you do?
00:10:34Good morning.
00:10:35How do you do, sir?
00:10:36It's an honor.
00:10:37I don't know.
00:10:37The honor is mine.
00:10:45So, where do you want me?
00:10:51So, will we be engaged in flattery or reality?
00:10:57Are you going to paint me as a cherub or a bulldog?
00:11:01I imagine there are a great number of Mr. Churchills.
00:11:04Yes, indeed there are.
00:11:07Well, as you search for him, perhaps I can implore you not to feel the need to be too accurate.
00:11:14Why?
00:11:15Accuracy is truth.
00:11:16For accuracy, we have the camera.
00:11:20Painting is the higher art.
00:11:24I paint a bit myself, you know.
00:11:28Yes, sir, I know.
00:11:29And I never let accuracy get in the way of truth if I don't want it to.
00:11:34If I see some landscape I like and I wish there wasn't a factory in the background, I leave the
00:11:41factory out.
00:11:45So, Mr. Sutherland, tell me, I'm fascinated.
00:11:48What is your process?
00:11:54First, I shall take some photographs.
00:11:57They'll be useful as reference when I get back to the studio.
00:12:00Then I shall do some charcoal sketches, studies of the head, hands.
00:12:03And then I'll work the sketches out.
00:12:09The actual painting will be done in my, uh, studio at home.
00:12:16Um, is this? Do you mind?
00:12:18Perfect, all right. Carry on.
00:12:21You, uh, what pose are you thinking of?
00:12:27Seated.
00:12:31A good right standing.
00:12:33It might be more commanding.
00:12:35Dynamic.
00:12:38It might make me look younger.
00:12:41Uh...
00:12:42I thought the painting was supposed to celebrate reaching a certain age.
00:12:46Four score years, Winston.
00:12:48Yeah.
00:12:49I think seated is more senatorial.
00:12:52Oh, senatorial.
00:12:55What nonsense.
00:13:00Yes, I agree.
00:13:08Cigar or no cigar?
00:13:13No cigar.
00:13:15Garter robes or no garter robes?
00:13:17No finely.
00:13:19No grandiosity.
00:13:22Dressed merely as a parliamentarian.
00:13:25A prosaic.
00:13:32I liked him.
00:13:33Yes, I could tell.
00:13:35He was smit, blushing like a little girl.
00:13:39Well, he's rather a wow.
00:13:42A wow?
00:13:43Tall and handsome, saturnine.
00:13:46Bit of a Heathcliff.
00:13:48He wants total control.
00:13:50Well, any artist worth anything would insist on that.
00:13:53We don't really want to flatter her.
00:13:55Yes, I do.
00:13:56No, you don't.
00:13:58Besides, it's manifestly clear he's a fan.
00:14:00Oh, no, don't be silly.
00:14:02You can smell the socialism on him.
00:14:04Even the socialists acknowledge you saved the country.
00:14:07Well, through gritted teeth.
00:14:10I have the protective instincts of a loving wife,
00:14:13and I can tell you this one is not an assassin.
00:14:16Well, if, or, or, or.
00:14:17What are you doing here tonight?
00:14:19Well, why are you Thus I Want?
00:14:24Come on, I wanna?
00:14:25Oh, the brothers have won, thatero open the 세계.
00:14:36The fourthol ist who I got.
00:14:42And the price of our best seat now is 5001.
00:14:47I'd like you to welcome our hands to the end of the family.
00:14:49And the witness of the birth of the storm.
00:14:52It was good.
00:14:54It's so clever.
00:14:56I know, I know.
00:15:09What a champion.
00:15:11What a champion.
00:15:13Oh, hello.
00:15:26I remember getting the phone call from your father when he was born.
00:15:31By Hyperion, out of Angelola.
00:15:33Yes, we gave him his first milk, remember?
00:15:37Watching him grow up, everyone thought his elder brother would be the star.
00:15:41Ah, your clever papa always had an instinct for this one.
00:15:44The underdog.
00:15:45And he backed him.
00:15:47And an underdog became a star.
00:15:50Yes, it is his favourite horse.
00:15:53So, what's next, Rajan?
00:15:56Well, we've received an invitation to the Laurel International.
00:16:02America.
00:16:03Yes, next month.
00:16:05Well, he's what, four?
00:16:08Already at the older end of the spectrum.
00:16:10Hmm.
00:16:11If you're asking my opinion.
00:16:12Well, that is why I asked for you today.
00:16:16My honest advice, I'd consider retiring him now.
00:16:20At the top of his game, the best middle-distance horse in Europe with a sky-high market value.
00:16:27Let him earn you some proper money as a stud.
00:16:30Well, I'm surprised to hear you turn down the opportunity of going to America.
00:16:37Why?
00:16:38Well, that's where your girlfriend's from, isn't it?
00:16:42Fiancée.
00:16:44Fiancée?
00:16:45Goodness.
00:16:49Who is she?
00:16:51Money, I hope, so you can keep up the stables.
00:16:53Well, actually, she's a Portsman.
00:16:55Dear, so no money.
00:16:56Some money, but horse mad.
00:16:59Well, she'd have to be.
00:17:03You'd approve, I think.
00:17:06Well, can I meet her?
00:17:07If you promise you won't scare her.
00:17:09Why would I scare her?
00:17:10You're the Queen.
00:17:12Only some of the time.
00:17:13All the time.
00:17:14That makes you terrifying.
00:17:16And she's heard a lot about you.
00:17:19From whom?
00:17:20From me.
00:17:21Some of it nice, too.
00:18:01Oh, the one you let get away.
00:18:06What?
00:18:07He was carried a torch for you.
00:18:09What, she?
00:18:11That's nonsense.
00:18:13He told me himself.
00:18:15One night while in his cups.
00:18:18That doesn't count.
00:18:21When a man's had a drink, that's when the truth comes out.
00:18:24No, that's when the nonsense comes out.
00:18:26Besides, you have interests in common.
00:18:29Fourses aren't an interest for you.
00:18:31They're a passion.
00:18:32A passion your husband doesn't share.
00:18:34He has other passions.
00:18:37So I hear.
00:19:05Good morning.
00:19:12The foreign secretary is here, sir.
00:19:14Shall I show him in?
00:19:16No.
00:19:18Not here.
00:19:32Sorry to keep you waking.
00:19:35As opposite as ever.
00:19:38I didn't mean it like that.
00:19:44There's ugliness in the air, Anthony.
00:19:48I have nothing of beauty to say.
00:19:50Then say what you must.
00:19:52Deposit your ugliness and go.
00:19:55I have more important things to do.
00:20:01Very well.
00:20:07At some point, every leader must ask himself whether by staying in office, he is giving to the country or
00:20:18taking from it.
00:20:19Helping or harming.
00:20:23And I would suggest that for some time now, you have been taking and harming.
00:20:31And therefore, I come to you in the name of the party and of the country for the very last
00:20:38time, Winston, to bid you to stand down.
00:20:42I will in good time.
00:20:43Yeah, at the right time.
00:20:46The right time was nine years ago when you lost us the election.
00:20:49And I have since avenged that defeat by winning us the last election.
00:20:53I won a set, Winston.
00:20:55I won that.
00:21:02People voted conservative in the clear expectation that you would give way to me.
00:21:07Oh, that is such rubbish.
00:21:09They voted conservative because they couldn't stomach socialism.
00:21:13Inflation is out of control.
00:21:15And with every misjudgment, with every miscalculation, with every utterance you make,
00:21:23that appetite to return to the left is growing.
00:21:26Be careful, Anthony.
00:21:27Too much excitement is not good for one so soon after an operation.
00:21:31Spoken by a man who, only two months ago, was effectively dead.
00:21:35Which makes two of us.
00:21:37I have recovered.
00:21:38That's not what I hear.
00:21:40I hear you're a shadow of your former self.
00:21:44That when you walk, the pills rattle around inside of you.
00:21:48I have something that you'll never see again.
00:21:52A clean bill of health.
00:21:55A stallion said the same.
00:21:57He died wrothling on the floor.
00:22:01Mr. Sutherland is here.
00:22:04Hello, Anthony.
00:22:05Anthony was just leaving.
00:22:08Hello, Timmy.
00:22:11Yes, I was, uh...
00:22:15Just leaving.
00:22:17Here we are.
00:22:19Morning.
00:22:21Morning.
00:22:22Sir, this is my wife, Kathleen.
00:22:24She'll assist me sometime.
00:22:26I hope you don't mind.
00:22:36I'm going to leave.
00:22:44I'll be near the north.
00:22:44He's got the money.
00:22:44I'll be near the north.
00:22:46I'll be near the north.
00:22:59Over here.
00:23:07What's that you're using?
00:23:09Pencil.
00:23:10But which kind?
00:23:144B or 6B or something.
00:23:16I'm not sure.
00:23:18It's a 6B.
00:23:21And on what paper?
00:23:23Drawing paper.
00:23:24I paper heavyweight cotton, cold-pressed, decal-edged, sized with gelatine.
00:23:37How many paintings has your husband complete in a year, Mrs Sutherland?
00:23:41Three or four.
00:23:43Would you care to guess how many I average?
00:23:4710?
00:23:4915?
00:23:5160!
00:23:5160!
00:23:53Of course, I'm just a hobbyist, an enthusiast, of a major artist like your husband.
00:24:03Taking his time.
00:24:07Over here.
00:24:08You're not gonna take your time...
00:24:11You're not gonna take your time.
00:24:29You're not gonna take your time.
00:24:29You're not gonna take your time.
00:24:30No way, no way.
00:24:36I'm not gonna take your time.
00:24:38But how many other people do this?
00:24:38I did a little reading about you, Mr. Sutherland, after our last session.
00:24:44Did you?
00:24:44Yeah, quite interesting.
00:24:46From what I read, this is all very new to you, this portraiture.
00:24:51I don't think anyone starts out wanting to be a portraitist.
00:24:54Yeah, but in your search for your metier, you've tried a bit of everything.
00:24:59That's true.
00:25:02I came to painting quite late.
00:25:04But now that you've found it, you'll never leave it, yes?
00:25:07Yeah.
00:25:08I quite understand.
00:25:28How is it, Mrs. Sutherland?
00:25:32It has truth.
00:25:35Am I to be allowed a peek?
00:25:37No.
00:25:38Why not?
00:25:40I could give you advice.
00:25:42After all, I know this face better than you do.
00:25:46If you've made the neck too thick or the arms too long, I can tell you.
00:25:50I find in general people have very little understanding of who they are.
00:25:54One has to turn a blind eye to so much of oneself in order to get through life.
00:25:58And you see it as your responsibility to bring all that out into the open?
00:26:01Certainly, the good as well as the bad.
00:26:03Just concentrate on the good and all will be well.
00:26:07You're not just painting me, you know.
00:26:10You're painting the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
00:26:15and everything that great office represents.
00:26:17Democracy, freedom.
00:26:18You're painting the highest ideals of government and leadership.
00:26:22You're painting the highest ideals of government and leadership.
00:26:23Just remember that.
00:26:34Yes?
00:26:36Lord Porchester, Your Majesty.
00:26:40Plug in.
00:26:42Porchy.
00:26:43What a palaver.
00:26:44What is?
00:26:45Getting through to you.
00:26:47I picked up the phone to you just after nine this morning.
00:26:50It's now gone midday.
00:26:51Oh, don't exaggerate.
00:26:53But yes, I know, it is infuriating.
00:26:55Fire away.
00:26:56You asked me to come to some figures for you with regard to Oriole.
00:26:59Although I'm numerically dyslexic, runs in the family, I'm afraid, like the high forehead.
00:27:04I have done the sums.
00:27:06See if this helps you with your decision.
00:27:08In the course of his lifetime as a racehorse, Oriole has made you just over £40,000.
00:27:13Goodness.
00:27:15But, if you were to put him out to stud, he could make you far more.
00:27:18He's a recognised champion with a top-notch pedigree.
00:27:21You could stand him at Wolferton's stud for top dollar.
00:27:27Well, that's the decision then.
00:27:30Good.
00:27:31And in the meantime, I'll ask if I can get you a direct line.
00:27:36To you?
00:27:37Yes, to me.
00:27:38Why?
00:27:39Or is there anyone else you wanted to speak to here?
00:27:42No.
00:27:43Good.
00:27:47Dollar.
00:27:48What is it?
00:27:49Top dollar.
00:27:50I need numbers.
00:27:52400.
00:27:53A pot.
00:27:54A shot.
00:27:56Sorry, I'm trying to find a less onomatopoeic expressive.
00:27:58What is ultimately...
00:27:59I know what it is.
00:28:00A shag?
00:28:01A cover.
00:28:02A cover?
00:28:04Yes, that's the correct term.
00:28:06For a horse hump.
00:28:09Yes.
00:28:12So what might you earn, then, over the course of the year?
00:28:14Well, in one year alone, Aurel might cover 40 mares, making about 16,000 pounds.
00:28:23Good for him.
00:28:24In the course of his lifetime at the stud, he might sire 500, 600 foals, making me over 200,000
00:28:31pounds.
00:28:31Creating an entire generation of offspring.
00:28:34Yes.
00:28:36Father to all the fells in our stables and any other stable that could afford him.
00:28:40Yes.
00:28:42Oh, I see.
00:28:42So in time, every horse out there could somehow be related to Aurel.
00:28:49Yes, I suppose so.
00:28:53Like old man Carnarvon.
00:28:56Who?
00:28:58Your friend Porchy's father.
00:29:01Porchy?
00:29:02No.
00:29:02Like I said, his father.
00:29:05Yes, they're both called Porchy.
00:29:07Wasn't that the rumour?
00:29:08What rumour?
00:29:10Oh, that he'd had so many affairs.
00:29:13An entire generation of British aristocrats was related to him.
00:29:16An illegitimate Porchy.
00:29:19In every great house in the land,
00:29:23high foreheads everywhere.
00:29:26A numerical dyslexia.
00:29:29What?
00:29:30Nothing.
00:29:31What?
00:29:33Nothing.
00:29:37Michael!
00:29:39Dear boy!
00:29:45Good night.
00:29:47Good night.
00:29:50Let me have a look here.
00:29:53Marvellous.
00:29:53Shall we?
00:29:54Come on.
00:29:54You look beautiful.
00:29:56Mm-hmm.
00:29:58Oh, my God.
00:30:00What?
00:30:10Good night.
00:30:13Come on.
00:30:21You look beautiful.
00:30:26I don't know.
00:31:05I don't know.
00:31:24I don't know.
00:31:26I don't know.
00:31:27I don't know.
00:31:29Yes.
00:31:30How is it?
00:31:31Too bad, sir.
00:31:32This way.
00:31:46Good morning.
00:31:47Morning.
00:31:47Good morning.
00:32:00I don't know.
00:32:02I don't know.
00:32:04I don't know.
00:32:07I don't know.
00:32:11Since this is to be our final session
00:32:14I wanted us to be all alone
00:32:21In silence, preferably
00:32:23Yes, yes
00:32:25I'll be a good boy
00:32:34I quite understand
00:32:35And the need for concentration
00:32:37Painting the picture is like fighting a battle
00:32:41A bloody battle
00:32:42In the gladiatorial fight to the death
00:32:46The artist either wins or loses
00:32:51Are you winning?
00:32:53I hope so
00:32:56You think I'll like it?
00:32:58I think that's possibly too much to ask for
00:33:01But I do take comfort from the fact that
00:33:04Your own work is so
00:33:06Honest and revealing
00:33:08Oh
00:33:10Thank you for the compliment
00:33:16Are there any works that you're referring to in particular?
00:33:22I was thinking especially of the goldfish pond here at Chartma
00:33:27The pond
00:33:28Why the pond?
00:33:29It's just a pond
00:33:30It's very much more than that
00:33:32As borne out by the fact that you've returned to it
00:33:35Again and again
00:33:36More than twenty times
00:33:37Well, yes, because it's such a technical challenge
00:33:40It eludes me
00:33:43Well, perhaps you elude yourself, sir
00:33:45That's why it's more revealing than a self-portrait
00:33:48Oh, that's nonsense
00:33:50It's the water
00:33:52The play of light
00:33:55The trickery
00:33:56The fish
00:33:58Down below
00:33:59I think all our work is unintentionally revealing
00:34:02And I found it especially so with your pond
00:34:04Beneath the tranquility and the elegance
00:34:06And the light playing on the surface
00:34:08I saw honesty and pain
00:34:10Terrible pain
00:34:12The framing itself
00:34:14Indicated to me that you wanted us
00:34:16To see something
00:34:18Beneath all the muted colors
00:34:21Deep down
00:34:22In the water
00:34:25Terrible despair
00:34:27Hiding like a leviathan
00:34:29Like a sea monster
00:34:31You saw all that?
00:34:34Yes, I did
00:34:37Perhaps that says more about you than me
00:34:41Perhaps
00:34:46May I ask you a question, Mr. Sutherland
00:34:50It's about one of your paintings
00:34:53The one you call pastoral
00:34:56With all that gnarled and twisted wood
00:35:01Those great ugly dabs of black
00:35:05I found something
00:35:09Malevolent in it
00:35:10Where did that come from?
00:35:13Well, it's very perceptive
00:35:15That was a very dark time
00:35:17My son, John
00:35:23Passed away
00:35:24Eight to two months
00:35:30Oh, my
00:35:32I am sorry
00:35:39Yes, thank you
00:35:59You have five, yes?
00:36:00Four
00:36:04Marigold
00:36:04Was the fifth
00:36:07She left us at age
00:36:10Two years, nine months
00:36:11Septicemia
00:36:13I'm so sorry
00:36:14I had no idea
00:36:19We settled on
00:36:20The name
00:36:21Marigold
00:36:22On account of her
00:36:24Wonderful golden curls
00:36:26The most extraordinary color
00:36:32Regretfully
00:36:33Though perhaps mercifully
00:36:36I was not present
00:36:37When she died
00:36:39When I came home
00:36:41Clemmie
00:36:45Roared like a wounded animal
00:36:54We bought
00:36:56Chartwell
00:36:57A year after
00:36:59Marigold died
00:37:03That was when I put in
00:37:07The pond
00:37:09The pond
00:37:11The pond
00:37:36Yeah
00:37:40Thank you
00:37:41Thank you
00:38:02Thank you
00:38:06I look forward to seeing it
00:38:30I look forward to seeing it
00:38:34It is the death of death.
00:38:50Hello.
00:38:51Hello.
00:38:53Shall we?
00:38:55Yes.
00:39:00Given this is Oriel's debut, we want to leave Malcolm to chance.
00:39:03I've called up three different mares.
00:39:06Very rarely does a forced tryst make a fruitful tryst.
00:39:10One wants the perfect fall, one needs to be prepared to wait for the perfect period.
00:39:14Shall we?
00:39:16Meet Neocracy.
00:39:17Oh, the Aga Khan.
00:39:18Indeed.
00:39:20Recently retired, with a good record as a winner.
00:39:22A lovely temperament tool.
00:39:24My only concern would be, is she perhaps a little too...
00:39:28Special.
00:39:29I worry that if we were pleased through to it, nothing would ever happen.
00:39:33Which is why I've also called up Turkish blood.
00:39:36As you can see, an altogether different proposition.
00:39:39Indeed.
00:39:39Strong, willful, with a terrific track record herself.
00:39:43I really would be breathing the best with the best.
00:39:46I'm sensing a bar.
00:39:47Through memory, your Oriel is something of a sensitive soul.
00:39:51That hit him to be intimidated or come unstuck and faced a fiery warrior like this.
00:39:56That's very considerate of your portrait.
00:39:58Which is why I have a good feeling about our third candidate.
00:40:01Feast your eyes on Temple Bar.
00:40:03A hot thoroughbred with the winning streak herself.
00:40:06A little on the young side, perhaps.
00:40:09Just three.
00:40:10We don't mind that, do we?
00:40:17Immediate engagement.
00:40:18Yes.
00:40:19I must say, I do like this one.
00:40:21Mm-hmm.
00:40:23Would appear the feeling is mutual.
00:40:26Oh, love.
00:40:29Telegrams have been pouring into Dining Street today to wish Sir Winston Churchill a happy 80th birthday on this, the
00:40:3730th of November.
00:40:38They come from all parts of the globe.
00:40:43Happy birthday, darling old pug.
00:40:58Happy birthday to you.
00:41:02Happy birthday to you.
00:41:05Happy birthday to you.
00:41:07Happy birthday to you.
00:41:12Happy birthday to you.
00:41:12Happy birthday to you.
00:41:15Happy birthday to you.
00:41:15Happy birthday to you.
00:41:16Happy birthday to you.
00:41:21Happy birthday to you.
00:41:25Happy birthday to you.
00:41:26Happy birthday to you.
00:41:26Happy birthday to you.
00:41:27Happy birthday to you.
00:41:27Happy birthday to you.
00:41:42Oh, is it time?
00:41:43It is, Paul.
00:41:44Right.
00:41:53I'll boost it down, Michael.
00:41:54Thank you, Paul.
00:41:55Westminster Hall, silent witness of nearly a thousand years of history,
00:41:59was the scene of the birthday presentations to Sir Winston.
00:42:55I am deeply honoured to be here today.
00:43:02No politician has ever received such an honour before, and I am deeply grateful.
00:43:11I am aware, however, that after having served my country for 54 of my 80 years,
00:43:26resignation is a word that hangs in the air.
00:43:32And indeed, this is the perfect occasion for it.
00:43:36The stage is set, and the audience is assembled, all ready for a grand valediction.
00:43:46There's only one problem.
00:43:48The lead actor has forgotten his life.
00:43:53And instead of standing down, he is taking an encore.
00:43:59Oh dear, he's playing with them all.
00:44:02When your political colleagues are kind enough to present you with a portrait by an ambitious
00:44:11modernist, one has to ask oneself, is it a gift or is it a curse?
00:44:27Mr. Sutherland, the artist, and I spoke a great deal during my sittings.
00:44:35I reminded him of the stakes involved, that his portrait was not just of me, but of the office
00:44:45I represent, indeed, of our entire system of government.
00:44:50So, at long last, I look forward to unveiling this painting.
00:45:30A fine patriotic piece of modern art.
00:46:10why are you here i understand you've rejected the painting i have on what grounds that is not
00:46:18a painting it's a humiliation how shall i paint him today sitting on a chair producing a stool
00:46:30a broken sagging pitiful creature squeezing and squeezing that's not how it's being seen that
00:46:38is how it is and i will not accept it i don't think it's wise to reject it it was
00:46:44commissioned by the
00:46:45members of the joint houses of parliament as a sign of respect but then they should have commissioned
00:46:48an artist who is respectful instead of a judas wielding his murderous brush look at it it is a
00:46:57betrayal of friendship and an unpatriotic treacherous cowardly assault by the individualistic left
00:47:06as regards the friendship clearly there is none
00:47:11i accepted this commission because i admired you and i came through the experience admiring you even
00:47:16more you make monsters of everyone you admire it's not vindictive no it's art it's not personal
00:47:25you are a lost soul a narcissist without direction or service please sir don't overreact give it time
00:47:36i showed the sketches to your wife throughout the process she remarked on how accurate they were
00:47:40but that is the whole point it is not a reasonably truthful image of me it is sir it is
00:47:47not it is cruel age is cruel
00:47:57if you see decay it's because there's decay if you see frailty it's because there's frailty
00:48:03i can't be blamed for what is and i refuse to hide and disguise what i see
00:48:14if you're engaged in a fight with something then it's not with me
00:48:24it's with your own blindness
00:48:25i think you should go
00:48:52it's the same
00:49:22He's right.
00:49:25What?
00:49:27I am that man in the painting.
00:49:31Wretched and decaying.
00:49:34I cannot go on.
00:49:37You've said that before.
00:49:43This time I mean it. I'm tired.
00:49:49You've had enough.
00:49:53I have, my love.
00:49:59This time I really have.
00:50:00Good.
00:50:03Good.
00:50:18Good.
00:50:19Good.
00:50:27Good.
00:50:29Good.
00:50:35Good.
00:50:36Good.
00:50:46Good.
00:50:50Good.
00:50:56Good.
00:50:58Good.
00:50:58Good.
00:50:58Good.
00:51:08Good.
00:51:15Good.
00:51:20And you wish for Mr. Eden to take over?
00:51:23I do.
00:51:24Well, that will make him happy.
00:51:26For a day or two.
00:51:29He might even stop cursing me.
00:51:31Then he will be overwhelmed by a job
00:51:34in which no man can ever succeed,
00:51:36and curse me again for leaving it to him.
00:51:41It might be an idea not to tell him that before he starts.
00:51:44No, ma'am.
00:51:49So...
00:51:51This is our last audience.
00:52:02Yes.
00:52:08However, will I cope without you?
00:52:11You will be fine, ma'am.
00:52:15I have nothing more to teach you.
00:52:18Which is why it's time for me to leave.
00:52:30No matches, Tim.
00:52:44No matches, Tim.
00:52:51Do it.
00:52:52No matches.
00:52:57No matches.
00:53:00I am serious.
00:53:01No matches.
00:53:07Let's do it again.
00:53:08Sorry.
00:53:08No matches should be here.
00:53:11No matches you.
00:53:12No matches you.
00:53:13No matches you.
00:53:14I am very happy in this room.
00:53:24Stop.
00:54:07Renaming London Airport?
00:54:09I want something more personal for Winston.
00:54:16What about dinner, here, or Buckingham Palace?
00:54:20No, there.
00:54:21Downing Street?
00:54:22Yes.
00:54:23It would be quite the compliment you and Philip go there for dinner.
00:54:28I'll ask Philip.
00:54:30No, you'll tell Philip, by me.
00:54:33Dinner?
00:54:34Downing Street, oh God.
00:54:36Why not?
00:54:39Is she a locker, do you think?
00:54:42I mean, if I were a stallion,
00:54:44would I fancy her?
00:54:46Attraction isn't so much about looks as smell.
00:54:50Oh, I see.
00:54:51Well, does she smell good?
00:54:52Well, we'll see, don't we?
00:54:55Come on.
00:54:56Come on, have a look.
00:55:03Rather like us, darling, when we were courting.
00:55:05Shhh.
00:55:06Will you please be quiet?
00:55:10Yeah, look, here we go.
00:55:12All right.
00:55:14You all right?
00:55:15Yeah.
00:55:17Hold her steady.
00:55:19Ready?
00:55:23All right.
00:55:24All right.
00:55:27All right.
00:55:30All right.
00:55:34I see.
00:55:38All right.
00:55:39All right.
00:55:40All right.
00:55:41All right.
00:55:49All right.
00:55:52All right.
00:55:56All right, Portie.
00:55:58I hear he's been given a direct line.
00:56:01Who?
00:56:02Portie, so he can call straight in.
00:56:04I know only because I tried to get one for Mike
00:56:06and was refused.
00:56:08Yes.
00:56:09On account of him not being a family member.
00:56:12Portie is like family.
00:56:14Is he?
00:56:15Yes, part of the furniture.
00:56:19Well, as long as you don't sit on him any time soon.
00:56:33Well, that all seemed to go well.
00:56:35Yes, it did, isn't it?
00:56:39You all right?
00:57:08Can you leave us now, please?
00:57:11Yes, ma'am.
00:57:28I have nothing to hide from you.
00:57:31Nothing.
00:57:35Portie is a friend.
00:57:39And yes, there are those who would have preferred me to marry him.
00:57:43Indeed, marriage with him might have been easier.
00:57:48Might have even worked better than ours.
00:57:53But to everyone's regret and frustration,
00:57:57the only person I have ever loved is you.
00:58:03And can you honestly look me in the eye and say the same?
00:58:17Can you?
00:58:32Pray silence for Her Majesty, the Queen.
00:58:44My lords, ladies and gentlemen, dear Winston and Lady Churchill,
00:58:56my confidence in Sir Antony is complete.
00:59:01And I know he will lead the country on to great achievements.
00:59:06But it would be useless to pretend that either he or any of those successors
00:59:11who may one day follow him in office will ever, for me,
00:59:17be able to hold the place of my first Prime Minister,
00:59:21to whom my husband and I owe so much,
00:59:26and for whose wise guidance during the early years of my reign,
00:59:31I shall always be so profoundly grateful.
00:59:40I will remember you always for your magnanimity,
00:59:45your courage at all times,
00:59:55and for your unfailing humour,
00:59:57founded in your unrivaled mastery of the English language.
01:00:05I take comfort from the fact
01:00:07that in losing my constitutional advisor,
01:00:13I gain a wise counsellor,
01:00:19to whom I shall look for help and support
01:00:24in the days which lie ahead.
01:00:33May there be many of them.
01:00:34May there be many of them.
01:00:36May there be many of them.
01:00:38May there be many of us.
