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.
00:02:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:12Twelve 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?
00:02:25Who?
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.
00:03:17Joseph.
00:03:17I won't deny it!
00:03:19I won't deny it.
00:03:22I will deny it!
00:03:23And for you?
00:03:33It was only you.
00:03:34It was only you.
00:06:02Right, you are, Jock.
00:06:03Yes, I'll let him know.
00:06:06I'm sure he'll be delighted.
00:06:09Bye.
00:06:18Are you winning?
00:06:20No.
00:06:22There was one brief tantalizing moment when I thought I had it.
00:06:29I moved in for the kill.
00:06:32Oh, but then one wrong brushstroke and it got away once again.
00:06:38I've just been talking to Jock about your 80th birthday.
00:06:42No, don't mention it.
00:06:43Because it happens on the same day as the opening of Parliament, they 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.
00:07:00The painter.
00:07:01The painter portrait.
00:07:01What portrait?
00:07:03The official portrait commissioned by both houses.
00:07:06It's your present.
00:07:08Sutherland.
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.
00:07:15So I can trust a modernist with an English name?
00:07:19Give me a German modernist or an Italian.
00:07:24They're the ones who have to start all over again.
00:07:27Whatever would an Englishman want to change?
00:07:29No.
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, put 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, a 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.
00:09:17You 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.
00:09:47Oh, dear.
00:09:47Such as?
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?
00:10:52So, will we be engaged in flattery or reality?
00:10:57Are you going to paint me as a cherub or a bulldog?
00:11:00I 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? Accuracy is truth.
00:11:16No, for accuracy, we have the camera.
00:11:20Painting is the higher art.
00:11:24I paint a bit myself, you know.
00:11:27Yes, 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 up will be done in my studio at home.
00:12:16Um, is this? Do you mind?
00:12:18Perfect, all right. Carry on.
00:12:22What pose are you thinking of?
00:12:27Seated.
00:12:31A good right standing.
00:12:33It might be more commanding.
00:12:36Dynamic.
00:12:38It might make me look younger.
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.
00:13:00Yes, I agree.
00:13:09Cigar or no cigar?
00:13:13No cigar.
00:13:14Garter rose or no garter rose?
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.
00:13:45Saturne.
00:13:46A bit 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, and I can tell you this one is not an assassin.
00:14:15Oh, no, I can tell you.
00:14:18Oh, no, no.
00:14:20Oh, no, no.
00:14:22Oh, no.
00:14:26Oh, no.
00:14:30Oh, no.
00:14:32Oh, no.
00:14:33Oh, no.
00:14:36Oh, no.
00:15:26I remember getting the phone call from your father when he was born by 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.
00:15:41Your 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.
00:15:54So, what's next, Rajan?
00:15:57Well, we've received an invitation to the Laurel International.
00:16:02America?
00:16:03Yes, next month.
00:16:05Well, he's what?
00:16:07Four?
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?
00:16:18I'd consider retiring him now.
00:16:20At the top of his game.
00:16:22The 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.
00:16:45Fiancée?
00:16:45Goodness.
00:16:49Who is she?
00:16:51Money, I hope, so you can keep out the staples.
00:16:53Well, actually, she's a portsmann.
00:16:55Oh dear, 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.
00:17:22Some of it nice, too.
00:18:01Oh, the one you let get away.
00:18:05What?
00:18:07He's always 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.
00:18:29Corses aren't an interest for you, they're a passion.
00:18:32A passion your husband doesn't share.
00:18:34He has other passions.
00:18:36So I hear.
00:19:06Sir, good morning.
00:19:12The foreign secretary is here, sir.
00:19:14Shall I show him in?
00:19:16No.
00:19:18Not here.
00:19:32I'm sorry to keep you waking.
00:19:35As apposite 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.
00:19:54I have more important things to do.
00:19:57I 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, yeah, 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 us that, Winston!
00:20:55I won that!
00:21:02People voted conservative in the clear expectation that you would give way to me.
00:21:07That is such rubbish!
00:21:08They 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, that appetite to return to the left is
00:21:25growing!
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, that when you walk, the pills rattle around inside of you.
00:21:47I have something that you will never see again.
00:21:52A clean bill of health.
00:21:55A Stalin said the same.
00:21:57He died robbering 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...
00:22:15Yes, I was, uh...
00:22:15Just leaving.
00:22:17Here we are.
00:22:19Morning.
00:22:21Morning.
00:22:22This, uh...
00:22:22This is my wife, Kathleen.
00:22:24She assists me sometime.
00:22:26Hope you don't mind.
00:22:35Oh, my God.
00:22:41Uh, no, no, no, no.
00:22:45All right, man, no, no, no, no.
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.
00:23:16Not sure.
00:23:18It's a 6B.
00:23:21And on what paper?
00:23:23Drawing paper.
00:23:23I paper heavyweight cotton.
00:23:26Cold pressed, decal edged.
00:23:28Sized with gelatine.
00:23:36How many paintings has your husband complete in a year, Mrs Sutherland?
00:23:413 or 4.
00:23:44Would you care to guess how many I average?
00:23:4710.
00:23:4915.
00:23:5160.
00:23:52Oh.
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.
00:24:08All right.
00:24:11All right.
00:24:13All right.
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.
00:25:03But now that you've found it, you'll never leave it, yes?
00:25:07Yeah, I 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.
00:25:39Why 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.
00:26:02Certainly.
00:26:02The 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, the highest ideals of government and leadership.
00:26:21Just remember that.
00:26:35Yes?
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.
00:27:04Oh.
00:27:05I 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.
00:27:14Goodness.
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 start 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 express of what is ultimately...
00:27:59I know what it is.
00:28:00A shag.
00:28:01A cover.
00:28:03A cover?
00:28:04Yes, that's the correct term.
00:28:06For...
00:28:07A horse hump.
00:28:09Yes.
00:28:11So 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.
00:28:32Creating an entire generation of offspring?
00:28:34Yes.
00:28:36Father to all the foals 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.
00:28:50Yes, 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.
00:29:04Yes, 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.
00:29:17An 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.
00:29:49Let me have a look here.
00:29:52Marvellous.
00:29:53Shall we?
00:29:54Come on.
00:29:54You look beautiful.
00:29:55Mm-hmm.
00:29:57Mm-hmm.
00:29:59Mm-hmm.
00:30:14I don't know.
00:30:37I don't know.
00:31:06I don't know.
00:31:30I don't know.
00:31:31How is he?
00:31:31Too bad, sir.
00:31:32This way.
00:31:46Good morning.
00:31:47Morning.
00:32:00You're the wife this time.
00:32:03No.
00:32:05After not to come.
00:32:11Since this is the final session, you wanted us to be all alone.
00:32:21in silence preferably yes yes i'll be a good boy
00:32:33i quite understand the need for concentration painting the picture is like fighting a battle
00:32:41a bloody battle in the gladiatorial fight to the death the artist either wins or loses
00:32:51are you winning i hope so
00:32:56you think i'll like it i think that's possibly too much to ask for but i do take comfort from
00:33:03the fact that your own work is so honest and revealing
00:33:17are there any works that you're referring to in particular i was thinking especially
00:33:23of the goldfish pond here at chartma the pond why the pond it's just a pond it's very much
00:33:31more than that as borne out by the fact that you've returned to it again and again more
00:33:36twenty times well yes because it's such a technical challenge it eludes me
00:33:42well perhaps you elude yourself sir that's why it's more revealing than a self-portrait
00:33:48oh that's nonsense it's the water the the play of light the the trickery and the fish and down below
00:33:59i think all our work is unintentionally revealing and i found it especially so with your pond
00:34:04beneath the tranquility and the elegance and the light playing on the surface
00:34:08i saw honesty and pain terrible pain
00:34:12the framing itself indicated to me that you wanted us to see something beneath all the muted colors deep down
00:34:22in the water
00:34:25terrible despair
00:34:27hiding like a leviathan like a sea monster
00:34:31you saw all that yes 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
00:34:49hmm it's about one of your paintings
00:34:52the one you call pastoral
00:34:55with all that
00:34:58gnarled and twisted wood
00:35:01those great ugly dabs of black
00:35:04i found something
00:35:08malevolent in it
00:35:10where did that come from
00:35:13well it's very perceptive that was uh
00:35:16it was a very dark time my uh
00:35:20my son john
00:35:23passed away
00:35:24eight to two months
00:35:30oh my

00:36:07she left us at age
00:36:09two years nine months
00:36:11septicemia
00:36:12i'm so sorry i had no idea
00:36:18we settled on the name marigold
00:36:22on account of her
00:36:24her wonderful golden curls
00:36:26the most extraordinary color
00:36:32regretfully
00:36:33though perhaps mercifully
00:36:35i i i was not present
00:36:37when she died
00:36:39when i came home
00:36:42lemmy
00:36:45roared like a wounded animal
00:36:55we bought chartwell
00:36:58a year after marigold died
00:37:03that was when i put in
00:37:05the pond
00:37:11mhm

00:37:33mhm
00:37:37Here.
00:37:54Oh, thank you.
00:37:59It's a pleasure.
00:38:06I look forward to seeing it.
00:38:10Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:38:16Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:38:25Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:38:26Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:38:26Trust me.
00:38:29Let me, let me, let me.
00:38:33If we ease the death to death.
00:38:50Hello.
00:38:52Hello.
00:38:52Hello.
00:38:53Shall we?
00:38:55Yes.
00:39:00Given this is Oriel's debut, we want to leave nothing 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.
00:39:11One needs to be prepared to wait for the perfect peril.
00:39:14Shall we?
00:39:16Meet Neocracy.
00:39:17Oh, the Aga Khan.
00:39:18Indeed.
00:39:19Yes.
00:39:20Recently retired, with a good record as a winner.
00:39:22Lovely temperament tool.
00:39:23Mm-hmm.
00:39:25My only concern would be, is she perhaps a little too...
00:39:28Special.
00:39:29Mm-hmm.
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.
00:39:39Strong, willful, with a terrific track record herself.
00:39:43Really would be breathing the best with the best.
00:39:46I'm sensing a bash.
00:39:48Through memory, your Oriel is something of a sensitive soul.
00:39:52That hit him to be intimidated or come unstuck when 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, well.
00:40:29Telegrams have been pouring into Dining Street today
00:40:32to wish Sir Winston Churchill a happy 80th birthday
00:40:36on this, the 30th of November.
00:40:38They come from all parts of the globe.
00:40:43Oh, happy birthday, darling old pug.
00:40:47Oh, bye.
00:40:47Come on.
00:40:54I'll be lovely moving to you
00:41:01I'll be loved but maybe next to you
00:41:04I will go praise, dear onegood star
00:41:06Happy birthday to you
00:41:12Happy birthday to you
00:41:13Happy birthday to you
00:41:15I'll be welcome
00:41:17To you
00:41:42Oh, is it time?
00:41:43It is, Paul.
00:41:44Right.
00:41:52All right, booze it down, Michael.
00:41:54Thank you, Paul.
00:41:55Westminster Hall, silent witness of nearly a thousand years of history, was the scene
00:42:00of the birthday presentations to Sir Winston.
00:42:32www.spiritkeeping.org.
00:42:55I am deeply honoured to be here today.
00:43:01No 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 is only one problem, the lead actor has forgotten his life.
00:43:53And instead of standing down, he is taking an encore.
00:43:59Oh dear, he is playing with them all.
00:44:02When your political colleagues are kind enough to present you with a portrait by an ambitious modernist,
00:44:14one 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 I
00:44:46represent, indeed, of our entire system of government.
00:44:51So, at long last, I look forward to unveiling this painting.
00:45:31Early to�ese
00:45:32The fine patriotic piece of modern art.
00:46:10Why are you here?
00:46:12I understand you've rejected the painting.
00:46:15I have.
00:46:16On what grounds?
00:46:17That is not a painting.
00:46:19It's a humiliation.
00:46:22How shall I paint him today?
00:46:25Ah!
00:46:26Sitting on a chair, producing a stool.
00:46:30A broken, sagging, pitiful creature, squeezing and squeezing.
00:46:36That's not how it's being seen.
00:46:37That is how it is.
00:46:39And I will not accept it.
00:46:41I don't think it's wise to reject it.
00:46:43It was commissioned by the members of the Joint Houses of Parliament as a sign of respect.
00:46:47But then they should have commissioned an artist who is respectful instead of a Judas wielding his murderous brush.
00:46:55Look at it!
00:46:56It is a betrayal of friendship and an unpatriotic, treacherous, cowardly assault by the individualistic left.
00:47:06As regards to friendship?
00:47:07Clearly there is none.
00:47:11I accepted this commission because I admired you and I came through the experience admiring you even more.
00:47:16You make monsters of everyone you admire?
00:47:20It's not vindictive.
00:47:22It's art.
00:47:23It's not personal.
00:47:24Well, you are a lost soul.
00:47:29A narcissist without direction or certainty.
00:47:32Please, sir.
00:47:34Don't overreact.
00:47:35Give it time.
00:47:36I showed the sketches to your wife throughout the process.
00:47:39She remarked on how accurate they were.
00:47:40That is the whole point.
00:47:42It is not a reasonably truthful image of me.
00:47:46It is, sir.
00:47:47It is not.
00:47:47It is cruel.
00:47:49Age is cruel.
00:47:50Oh.
00:47:57If you see decay, it's because there's decay.
00:47:59If you see frailty, it's because there's frailty.
00:48:04I can't be blamed for what is.
00:48:07And 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.
00:48:37I think you should go.
00:49:15I think you should go.
00:49:22He's right.
00:49:25What?
00:49:27I am that man in the painting.
00:49:31Wretched and decaying.
00:49:34And I cannot go on.
00:49:37I've said that before.
00:49:43And this time I mean it.
00:49:44I'm tired.
00:49:45I'm tired.
00:49:49You've had enough.
00:49:53I have, my love.
00:49:59This time I really have.
00:50:02Good.
00:50:04I have, my love.
00:50:08I have, my love.
00:50:23I have, my love.
00:50:24I have, my love.
00:50:26I have, my love.
00:50:28I have, my love.
00:50:28I have, my love.
00:50:31I have, my love.
00:50:31I have, my love.
00:50:32I have, my love.
00:50:33I have, my love.
00:50:33I have, my love.
00:50:47Of course, I knew it was coming.
00:50:50If I'm being frank, there were one or two moments when I might have even hoped for it, too.
00:50:57Prayed, no doubt.
00:51:06You really have been the most remarkable servant to your country.
00:51:09Thank you, ma'am.
00:51:10No, Winston.
00:51:12On behalf of us all.
00:51:21And 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, he might even stop cursing me.
00:51:31Then he will be overwhelmed by a job in which no man can ever succeed and curse me again for
00:51:38leaving it to him.
00:51:41It might be an idea not to tell him that before he starts.
00:51:44No, ma'am.
00:51:48So.
00:51:51This is our last audience.
00:51:53Oh, yeah.
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, which is why it's time for me to leave.
00:52:31Your Majesty.
00:52:32I have nothing more to teach you, kid.
00:53:02I have nothing more to teach you, kid.
00:54:33Do you know Downing Street, oh God, why not?
00:54:39Does she look anything?
00:54:42I mean, if I were a stallion, would I fancy her?
00:54:46The attraction isn't so much about looks as smell.
00:54:50I see.
00:54:51Well, does she smell good?
00:54:52Well, we'll see.
00:54:53Maybe.
00:55:03Rather like us, darling, when we were courting.
00:55:05Shhh.
00:55:06Will you please?
00:55:08Be quiet.
00:55:10Yeah, look.
00:55:11Here we go.
00:55:12All right.
00:55:13You all right?
00:55:15Yeah.
00:55:17Hold her steady.
00:55:19Ready?
00:55:23All right.
00:55:24I see.
00:55:31Back off.
00:55:34Good boy.
00:55:40Is that it?
00:55:44Two thousand guineas for that.
00:55:46As long as he's done what he needs to do, and it bears fruit, I don't mind.
00:55:50Well done, Porchy.
00:55:58I hear he's been given a direct line.
00:56:01Who?
00:56:02Porchy.
00:56:02So he can call straight in.
00:56:04I know only because I tried to get one for Mike and was refused.
00:56:08Yes.
00:56:09On account of him not being a family member.
00:56:12Porchy is like family.
00:56:13Is he?
00:56:15Yes.
00:56:16Part of the furniture.
00:56:19Well, as long as you don't sit on it many times too.
00:56:31Well, that all seemed to go well.
00:56:35Yes, it did, isn't it?
00:56:39You all right?
00:56:42Yes.
00:56:43Yes.
00:56:55Yes.
00:56:59Yes.
00:57:00Yes.
00:57:01Yes.
00:57:08Yes.
00:57:09Can you leave us now, please?
00:57:10Yes, ma'am.
00:57:11Yes.
00:57:11Yes.
00:57:11Yes.
00:57:14Yes.
00:57:23Yes.
00:57:27Yes.
00:57:28I have nothing to hide from you.
00:57:30Nothing.
00:57:34Porchy is a friend.
00:57:39Yes.
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?
00:58:16Can 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 Anthony 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
00:59:14will ever, for me, be 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
00:59:30I shall always be so profoundly grateful.
00:59:41I will remember you always,
00:59:43your magnanimity,
00:59:46your courage at all times,
00:59:55and for your unfailing humour,
00:59:57founded in your unrivalled 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.
01:00:46May there be many of them.
01:00:49Dear friends,
01:00:50Thank you,
01:00:51thank you.
01:01:09And what will you do?
