00:10To Prime Minister Harold Wilson and his government today is fresh on the pound.
00:20Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:23Damage had been done by the...
00:24Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:25Britain's trade gap is a staggering 107 million pounds.
00:30It's the worst figure on record.
00:31The government said that these figures were distorted and meaningless.
00:39Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:42Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:45Where is it?
00:47About you.
00:48Tomorrow's front page, sir.
00:50Not strong enough.
00:53It's the strongest headline the Daily Mail has ever written about a Labour leader.
00:56About had guilty conscience. I don't know what it's saying.
01:25It's a sad day when the Daily Mirror, a Labour-supporting newspaper, turns against a Labour leader,
01:29like this.
01:34We've done some thinking and come up with an idea for how to deflect any further criticism.
01:39Yeah, go on.
01:41Lord Mountbatten.
01:45What's he got to do with anything?
01:46I'm sure we all agree that he's a symbol of a bygone era, of privilege and inequality, empire and extravagance.
01:53Not to mention a pompous, bloody arse.
01:55Go on.
01:56As Chief of the Defence Staff, he's refusing to make the defence cuts we need.
02:01Cuts which you promised in your election manifesto.
02:05One might even tolerate it if he weren't so...
02:08vain or crooked or power-mad.
02:12Quite.
02:14What are you proposing?
02:16That we kick him out.
02:20But at least he's busy.
02:22And inside the tent...
02:24You know, people like Mountbatten.
02:26Medallists, for want of a kind of word.
02:28Energetic, well-connected medallists.
02:29It's better that they're inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in.
02:33But he belongs to another time, Harold.
02:37Kicking him out makes economic sense and shows we're tough.
02:41And who knows?
02:42It might just buy us some good headlines.
02:47Yes, I could do with some good headlines.
02:52General salute.
02:55Pre-set.
02:58Out.
02:59Out.
03:02Out.
09:05I'll go home, sir.
09:33I'll go home, sir.
10:14Ten minutes from Newmarket.
10:48Thank you, Cecil.
10:49How is he?
10:50As good as new again.
10:55And do you really think he's recovered from his injury?
10:58Oh, I do, ma'am.
11:00Gelded, fired, well-rusted.
11:02We won't have him breaking down on us again.
11:06Any chance of seeing him on the gallops today?
11:09Oh, no, ma'am.
11:10It's too wet and muddy out there.
11:13It's been a lot like this.
11:15Hardly been able to train him at all.
11:18Well, we can't do anything about the weather.
11:23Now we come to the most anticipated race of this year's Royal Ascot meeting,
11:27the Queen Alexandra Stakes.
11:30This is Britain's longest flat race, where stamina is of the essence.
11:33And the favorite is, of course, number nine, Her Majesty's own horse, Apprentice.
11:39And they're off.
11:40With number six, Panic's in the early lead, followed by number one, Valentine's Day,
11:44with number two, Olympic boy, cleaning right down their necks.
11:47They're off the pace now as they make their start.
11:51Behind the number ten, Ovi Andersen, far off the leaders,
11:54but number nine, Apprentice, tails behind in fitting legs.
11:58A disappointing start for last year's Yorkshire Club champion.
12:02And, Panic's still ahead, but behind him, Apprentice is gaining crowns.
12:06He got the challenge from number seven by even and pulling it to four.
12:10Majesty.
12:11Majesty.
12:12Dickie, darling.
12:14Chin up, vodka.
12:16Apprentice really has the look of eagles as they make the turn.
12:18And, yes, Apprentice turns up the pressure on the Olympic boys.
12:21He moves into third place.
12:22And in what is a fantastic recovery from a slow start,
12:25Apprentice is now level with number two, Olympic boy, as they race up hill.
12:29And as they come out of the final turn, Panic leads my length of the half,
12:32but Apprentice is coming through with a challenge.
12:34And now it's the home straight, and Apprentice is charging down for the other side,
12:37kicking deep.
12:37Nearly, nearly, nearly.
12:41No, he hasn't got it.
12:42No, Apprentice is starting to struggle.
12:44Panic is holding on, he's holding his lead,
12:46and Apprentice is falling behind as Valentine's Day falls back in second.
12:49Olympic boy coming up from the rear,
12:51and it's a busy finish, but number six, Panic finishes first.
12:55And they're closed for you by number two, and they're deployed.
12:58What are you doing wrong with Portia?
13:00You used to be at the top.
13:02Now he barely competes.
13:05It's possible that the system set up by your late father
13:08is now a little obsolete,
13:12and might need kicking out, throwing on the dust heap.
13:19If you want to keep up with the Aga Khan of this world,
13:22I would suggest you follow their lead.
13:26And do what?
13:28Travel around the world and catch up with all the latest developments.
13:31I can't just do that.
13:32In case you haven't noticed, I have a job to do with you.
13:35It would only be France, not Timbuktu.
13:39There are experienced people who are able to deputise for you in your absence.
13:53As you know, this government is committed to maintaining sterling at $2.80 to the pound.
13:58But with every economic blow,
14:01the oil embargo, the balance of payments deficit,
14:04and the Dockers Union strike,
14:06it's proving harder and harder to maintain.
14:23And I'm afraid that now we have no alternative
14:26but to devalue the pound.
14:29Oh.
14:31And I need hardly say
14:32it is a matter of overwhelming regret
14:36for me personally.
14:39and a humiliation for the government.
14:44It feels like a bad time to say
14:46that I won't be here for our meeting next week.
14:49Perhaps the next two weeks.
14:51But Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother,
14:53will step in as Councillor of State.
14:55Oh.
14:56A role she's executed many times.
15:06Your Majesty.
15:25good evening a few days ago the cabinet took its unanimous decision to devalue the pound
15:33i can now tell you why we have taken this action and more importantly what it will mean for you
15:40from now on the pound abroad will be worth 14 or so less in terms of other currencies
15:47now this does not mean of course that the pound here in britain in your pocket or your purse or
15:52your bank has been devalued what it does mean is that the goods we buy from abroad will be dearer
15:59so for many goods it will be cheaper to buy british
16:05this devaluation has been a hard decision and some of its consequences will be hard for a time
16:14for three years this government has fought as it was our duty to fight the burden of the deficit
16:20that the previous government left us but now is not the time to triple blame now is our chance to
16:28break free from that straitjacket seize this opportunity with both hands
16:34this is a proud nation we're out on our own now
16:38now we must choose to put britain first
17:07tonight we veterans of the burma campaign are gathered here to renew old comradeships
17:14and to remember fallen brothers at yang gang yong and ryan good we remember how it was fought
17:23the old way the honorable way body to body bayonet to bayonet
17:32and that swift exhilarating sweep of victory that carried us over the uruguay and in mandalay and there
17:41we met the japanese army and we tore it apart
17:48yes gentlemen we military men will always have our past glories to look back on
17:56but what of this new generation these young men and women for whom some of the best of us gave
18:02our lives
18:04decline
18:07irrelevance
18:07and the devaluation of pound sterling
18:11that is the sunless future that faces them
18:15for them
18:16the white heat of revolution is not a forging heat
18:20it is a melting heat
18:22it melts the silver of our battle on us
18:26and reduces to cinders the very foundation of our economy
18:30our currency
18:35so
18:37if the only glories available to this nation
18:40are its past glories
18:44then let us cherish them now
18:50come you back you british soldier
18:53come you back
18:57who will join me
19:01ship me somewhere east of sewers
19:04where the best is like the worst
19:07where there are no ten commandments
19:10and a man can raise a thirst
19:14for the temple bells are calling
19:16and it's there that i would be
19:19by the old mo mine pagoda
19:23looking lazy at the sea
19:26on the road to mandalay
19:29where the old fortitude lay
19:32where thou sick beneath the orange
19:36when we went to mandalay
19:40all the roads to mandalay
19:43where the flying faces lay
19:47and the dawn comes up like thunder
19:50out of china
19:52across the bay
19:54men
19:55where nav males
20:24Not my matter.
20:25Excuse me.
20:26Cecil King.
20:28I hope to talk to you, sir, to express my sympathy
20:31at the way you've been treated by the government.
20:33A shameful piece of political grandstanding and opportunism.
20:37You're very kind.
20:39Well, this country needs great men more than ever
20:42to restore confidence, inspire us,
20:44and perhaps even lead us out of the mire.
20:48It must have been made very clear to me
20:50that my leadership days are over.
20:52My colleagues and I don't believe that, sir,
20:55not for a minute.
20:57As a matter of fact, we'd be delighted
20:59if you'd agree to have lunch with us
21:01at Threadneedle Street one day.
21:03Bank of England?
21:04We've been working on a proposal
21:06which we'd very much like to put to you.
21:13Sir.
21:21Come on, Nina!
21:36Votre MajestƩ, bienvenue au Harat du Quenet.
21:39Merci, monsieur Ed.
21:41Mais il n'y a aucun besoin de telle formalitƩ.
21:44Dans le monde de l'Ć©levage, c'est vous qui ĆŖtes le roi.
21:47Vous ĆŖtes trĆØs gentille, madame, et bien indulgente.
21:50Je soupƧonne que vous me flattez.
21:53Par lĆ , voilĆ .
21:54Allez.
21:55Allons-y.
21:57Bonjour.
22:01And, of course, it was Manin Commissage
22:03who came out of the Bidangard,
22:05the magnificent Speyer.
22:07Oh!
22:08It was Grand Sire, White Settler.
22:10Oh, that's right.
22:11You had a tremendous success with it.
22:13Yes, I'm a big wonderful sprinter.
22:16These are all stud books?
22:17Indeed, ma'am.
22:18And I think you will find some very familiar names in there.
22:22Yes, I guess I will.
22:24If I'm not mistaken, this one.
22:27Oh, gosh, yes.
22:28My grandfather's one of his favorites.
22:32What would you say, six months?
22:33Hmm.
22:34Yes, I'd say so.
22:35Nice temperament.
22:36Warm-blooded.
22:37Not too skittish.
22:38Indeed.
22:39Look at her hocks.
22:41Oh, yes.
22:42Very well proportioned.
22:43Excellent line to the back.
22:45Yes.
22:46Mir.
22:55It was extraordinary.
22:57Not just their facilities,
22:59their entire attitude to breeding,
23:01but the fact they keep their fells and their yearlings so close.
23:04Merci.
23:05While we send ours off to graze in Ireland.
23:09Tell me honestly,
23:11is it over?
23:12Have we slipped too far behind?
23:14Not yet, ma'am.
23:15But, if you want to keep up, you do need to act decisively now.
23:20It'd mean rethinking the operation from top to toe,
23:23changing the personnel, changing the approach.
23:26Yes.
23:26And, currently there is a drain of the best British racehorses to America.
23:31You have to ask yourself, why?
23:35You don't think I should go there too?
23:37Well, obviously, from a racing perspective, it would be ideal.
23:40Just for a day or two.
23:42But, er, won't you be needed at home?
23:46Well, they've always got mummy.
23:48Me being away is good for her.
23:50She hates feeling old and superannuated and surplus to requirements.
23:54I'm sure she's relishing being the big chief again.
24:12Thank you, sir.
24:16Mr. King, what about you?
24:19Yes.
24:20The Great Britain of our childhood is dying before us.
24:25The country is bankrupt, our national security is in tatters,
24:28our allies are in despair.
24:30And on our current trajectory by 1970, we will be a vassal state.
24:37A pariah.
24:39I don't know about you, sir, but I'd sooner die than stand idly by and watch this happen.
24:45And to that end, my associates and I have come up with a plan to put the country back on
24:51track.
24:52Which is?
24:55Replacing the Prime Minister and installing a new emergency government.
25:01What?
25:02And in his place, we would need to install an inspirational figurehead.
25:07Someone who could unite the nation, command its respect.
25:11Someone who had stepped into a national leadership role before.
25:15Now, there are some obvious candidates, but frankly, none would be as good as you, sir.
25:19No, no, no. This is quite unthinkable.
25:22At this point, I should close my ears.
25:28Despite my own very profound reservations regarding our Prime Minister,
25:32what you're talking about is effectively a coup.
25:35And I can have nothing whatsoever to do with it.
25:38In peacetime, it's true.
25:40An intervention like this would be unconstitutional.
25:44But we believe this is no longer peacetime.
25:48And the circumstances are unprecedented and quite exceptional.
25:55Gerald.
25:58In order to hijack control of the economy,
26:01Wilson and his socialist colleagues have devised a plan.
26:05Plan Brutus, which would strip the Bank of England of all its powers,
26:10freeze the sterling balances of foreign governments,
26:14and enforce crash cuts in defence spending.
26:18Bankers cannot be allowed to run the show.
26:20The Bank of England has known about gold pouring out of the country since Monday,
26:25and has done nothing to stop it.
26:27What is our response?
26:28The imposition of exchange controls,
26:31the crash cuts in defence expenditure,
26:33and the compulsory acquisition of all privately held overseas securities.
26:37Sure of hands.
26:43It is an effective declaration of war.
26:47On freedom, democracy and capitalism.
26:51We must act now.
26:54Not just to save Britain, but the world.
26:57We are proposing a radical revolution led by bankers, businessmen and the armed forces.
27:03Professionals who can save us from amateurism, incompetence and Russian infiltration.
27:09And as our interim leader,
27:12we can think of no one better than you, sir.
27:27This is all very interesting.
27:34May I suggest that we meet again?
27:38In 48 hours.
27:42Sorry.
27:52With the pound down and the rest later, I suppose that sums it up.
27:55Evaluation of a gigantic loan that we all have to pay back.
27:59Britain now finds itself looking at a complete reversal of government policy
28:02after three years of devaluation and denial.
28:06Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt!
28:09Outside 10 Downing Street for Testors Gallant.
28:11Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt!
28:11There's a reality of one of devalued pounds.
28:30welcome to the commonwealth of kentucky imagine thank you mr hancock please call me paul
28:36sorry we don't have better weather for you it's quite all right we like a good water
28:39your shopping basket will hold less for the same money a lot of imported footsteps will cost more
28:51on monday after the announcement the stock exchange was empty there was no training
28:56outside in trotmorton street brokers and jobbers crowded together to try and sort out what the
29:05morning boy morning sir they're testing for minerals sulfur calcium correct nutrition is vital
29:13when it comes to the bone strength of bone formation and the folds were raised yes sir
29:19tommy's one of the best thanks sir just told me i've ever come to england oh no no no
29:25harris worked up to find that france was on the brink of civil war with the rebel generals in
29:30algeria sent paratroopers defense measures were quickly put into operation
29:38all the airports were closed to flights in and out nobody in the capital knew the rebels intentions
29:43but plastic bomb outrages here and elsewhere showed that pro-rebel sympathizers were on the power
29:56these are veterinary students we've invited to spend time here at the farm they learned
30:01reproductive management neonatal and foal management herd health management what we're aiming for is
30:07better integration between our practices here at the stud and the clinical research being conducted
30:12in the wider world remind me of the year porchy 1967 why because having seen what i've just seen
30:22one might think it 2067 in terms of technology and their management of the pasture and their willingness
30:29to embrace new ideas the americans aren't just on a different level they're on a different planet
30:34and their racing manager wasn't he impressive you think about cecil by comparison yes he is getting on
30:41150 well not quite that but certainly 80 40 year old cecil the ban her of new market
30:49but he had such success with your father and grandfather you know he was wounded at the somme
30:54yes so probably time for someone a little bit younger the question is who is there
31:01what about gordon richards he's with the wine stocks they've never let him go
31:07or with david mccall
31:11he's good can you honestly see him fitting in
31:29would you ever consider it me why not you're brilliant and you know the family inside out
31:39well i'm honored but i'm also very ambitious
31:45i could never accept unless i felt sure we had every chance of success at the highest level
31:51and in terms of our research there's still one thing that we really need to see
31:56what
31:56they're training facilities
31:59if we're going to gain the edge there's still a lot to learn from the americans
32:04fortunately how much longer is that going to take
32:07well
32:11yes
32:13yes
32:13In my first course, we've seen him at that height.
32:28Jasper.
32:43In the past decade alone, there have, by my reckoning, been 73 coups in 46 different countries around the world.
32:53And the success of some of these might encourage us.
32:58In Ghana, two years ago, President Nkrumah was ousted with just 500 men.
33:03And in 1961, in South Korea, Major General Park Chung-hee seized power with 3,500 men.
33:12And in 1964, in Gabon, just 150 men were able to arrest President Nkrumah and thus gain control over the
33:23levers of state power.
33:25And, of course, it was with just one legion that Caesar crossed the Rubicon.
33:31And perhaps we would not seek to follow his fate.
33:35A six-semper tyrannis gentleman.
33:38Now, what all successful insurgencies have in common are five key elements.
33:45Control of the media, control of the economy, and the capture of administrative targets, for which you need the fourth
33:53element, the loyalty of the military.
33:56Now, in Ghana and Gabon, this can be achieved with a handful of battalions.
34:01But here, in the United Kingdom, we would need to secure Parliament, Whitehall, Ministry of Defence, and the Cabinet Office.
34:13The Prime Minister will be arrested, of course, along with other politicians still loyal.
34:18We would have to shut down the airports, air traffic control.
34:22Same with the train stations.
34:24Curfews will be put in place, martial law declared.
34:28And I haven't even mentioned the police.
34:32It would take tens of thousands of unquestioningly loyal servicemen.
34:36And even in my heyday, I could never command that.
34:41Which brings me to the fifth element.
34:45Legitimacy.
34:47Now, our government draws its strength from long-established institutions that support it.
34:53The courts, body of common law, the Constitution.
34:59For any action against the state to succeed, you'd have to overthrow these as well.
35:04But in a highly evolved democracy such as ours, their authority is sacrosanct.
35:12Which is why, gentlemen, a coup d'etat in the United Kingdom doesn't stand a chance.
35:30Unless...
35:34Unless...
35:34Unless...
35:34Unless...
35:35Unless we have the support of the one person not yet mentioned.
35:39Do you see the temperament?
35:41Yeah, we like it.
35:42The Crown has at its disposal unique constitutional powers, which could still make something like this possible.
35:52In 1834, William IV used them to dismiss his government in the face of opposition from the House.
35:58And in 1920, the Emergency Powers Act was passed, which gives the sovereign power, in certain circumstances, to declare a
36:07state of emergency by proclamation.
36:10Meaning, our Queen could dissolve Parliament and appoint a new government, and a Prime Minister as well.
36:18She's also a Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
36:21They swear allegiance to her, and not to Parliament.
36:25So, could count on their support to see it through.
36:31She is our Caesar.
36:39And you think she might entertain this idea?
36:42The circumstances are certainly compelling.
36:45I've made a list here of exactly how compelling.
36:49And as her second cousin, I am in an ideal position to ask.
37:04I'm not hungry.
37:05No.
37:10Somehow, today has managed to be one of the most enjoyable days of my life.
37:15And at the same time, one of the most depressing.
37:22Telephone call for you, ma'am?
37:23Lord Manbatten?
37:24I'll call him back.
37:33If I tell you something, do you promise it will stay between us?
37:36Of course.
37:40This is how I'd like to spend all my time.
37:45Owning horses, breeding horses, racing horses.
37:48It's what makes me truly happy.
37:53And I actually think it's what I was born to do.
37:55Until the other thing came along.
37:58That someone else was born to do.
38:00That they elected not to do.
38:02Which meant that first my father, and then I,
38:04had to do a job we were never meant to do.
38:08Well, you've managed to make it look like
38:10the other thing is the only thing you were ever meant to do.
38:16You're kind.
38:18But it isn't.
38:34And on days like today,
38:37in places like this,
38:39in company like this,
38:43you get a glimpse of what it all might have been like.
38:48the unlived life.
38:52And how much happier it might have made me.
39:02Not now!
39:07Who did?
39:07I just snapped.
39:08Slightly.
39:09I shall have to grovel now.
39:10No, it's all right.
39:11He'll understand.
39:13I'm so sorry, your majesty.
39:15Yes, all right.
39:15I'm coming.
39:16Honestly, only Dickie.
39:24Yes, thank you, Mars.
39:26Now I'll talk to you.
39:54You are persistent.
39:55Is it really so important?
39:59yes your majesty prime minister
40:05ma'am i have reason to believe there is currently a full-blown plot developing against me
40:11and the democratically elected labor government that governs in your name
40:16being led by a senior member of your family
40:20who
40:25lord mountban and that he in cahoots with cecil king the chairman of the mirror group newspapers
40:32has been attempting to overthrow this government
40:38now i feel compelled to remind your majesty that tolerance of the royal family is hanging by a
40:44thread as it is now throughout my time in office i have done my level best to
40:51protect you
40:54but if members of the royal family were to interfere with the political business of the day i would
41:00be left with no option but to side with the republican elements of my cabinet which i have successfully
41:07controlled until now
41:11and take steps
41:16leave it with me prime minister
41:19your majesty
41:21your majesty
42:15Drink up, Portree.
42:17We're getting home.
42:33We're getting home.
42:57Lord Mountbatten, Your Majesty.
43:09Your Majesty.
43:17You asked to see me.
43:19I did.
43:21Well, great minds think alike.
43:23As it happens, I was planning to drop by myself.
43:28On a matter of great importance.
43:41I'm getting a feeling that I've not had since Dieppe.
43:46That I'm walking into a trap.
43:51I'd like to think you had that sinking feeling on another occasion recently.
43:55When going to see your friends at the Bank of England.
43:59Is it even true?
44:02Yes, I did go to lunch at the Bank of England.
44:05To meet and listen to people who are horrified by what's happening to the country.
44:10A horror I hope you share.
44:13Perhaps.
44:13Perhaps.
44:14But conspiring with them is not the solution.
44:17It is the beginning of a solution.
44:21Why are you doing this?
44:22Why would you protect a man like Wilson?
44:33I am protecting the Prime Minister.
44:37I am protecting the Constitution.
44:40I am protecting democracy.
44:44But if the man of the heart of that democracy threatens to destroy it,
44:48are we supposed to just stand by and do nothing?
44:51Yes.
44:52Doing nothing is exactly what we do.
44:54And bide our time.
44:56And wait for the people that voted him in to vote him out again.
44:59If indeed that is what they decide to do.
45:21I am sure you find it near impossible to do nothing.
45:24And to not have the role and the responsibilities you have always had.
45:29You were born to be busy.
45:30And to lead.
45:32But you still have a huge role to play in this family.
45:37A father figure to my husband.
45:40An uncle and a guide to me.
45:43A king to make in Charles.
45:45Not to mention a brother to your sister.
45:49When was the last time you even visited her?
45:52Cheered her up?
46:00That would be a greater service to the Crown than leading unconstitutional coups.
46:05Bless me.
46:34Let's go.
46:34Here she goes.
46:40I don't know.
47:10Nice of you to find the time.
47:12These days, I've nothing but time.
47:16And too little time.
47:30The four of us.
47:32What?
47:33The four of us.
47:37Look at us now.
47:40Only two left.
47:42You're left.
47:44Not me.
47:45I'm on the way out.
47:47Nonsense.
47:49There came a moment around the time I turned 70, when it dawned on me that I was no longer
47:57a participant, rather a spectator.
48:01I've discovered that for myself.
48:04Then it's just a matter of waiting and not getting in the way.
48:20Now, I hear you have been getting in the way.
48:23I told you that.
48:25I told you that.
48:53I'll say that.
48:56Oh.
48:58Oh.
48:59Who cares, honestly?
49:04One of the few joys of being as old as we both are
49:08is that it's not our problem.
49:12Not really our country either.
49:15What are you talking about?
49:16Of course it's our country.
49:18We Battenbergs have no country.
49:23Our family might have kings and queens in its ranks,
49:27but we're mongrels too.
49:31Part German, part Greek, part nowhere at all.
49:38Well, this is my country.
49:42Gave me a home, gave me a name.
49:47And in return I've given it my life.
49:56And to see it like this breaks my heart.
50:09My mother tells me to my heart is so close.
50:10That's all I've been thinking about.
50:11But I always tell her I have to be on the ground.
50:11That's why I read this song on my mind.
50:12I'm reading it now.
50:14And I'm reading it now.
50:14It's also reading it now.
50:15It's reading it twice.
50:15So that's reading it.
50:16It's reading it.
50:18It's reading it at the script that you sometimes should be reading.
50:19And it goes, you know, it's reading it.
50:34You must sleep, sister.
50:49Princess Alice, nowhere at all.
50:57Princess Alice, nowhere at all.
51:05Princess Alice, nowhere at all.
51:13Princess Alice, where she is surrounded by photographs,
51:13and her son, "...and her own story,
52:20Don't sound so surprised.
52:21I am. It's been so long.
52:27So how was France, America?
52:32Educational.
52:35The trip was supposed to be a week. You were gone almost a month.
52:38Yes.
52:41With Portchey?
52:43Yes.
52:46Was that fun?
52:49We went on racing business. It was a fact-finding expedition.
52:54Right.
52:56If you have something to say, say it now. Otherwise, if you don't mind, I'm busy.
53:00I've heard you've appointed him as your racing manager.
53:03I have.
53:03Which means he'll be around all the time.
53:05Yes, with any luck.
53:07Good for you.
53:08Good for all of us.
53:49I heard about Dickie.
53:52A coup.
53:53Yes, can you believe it?
53:57It must be hard getting old.
54:05Yes.
54:19I'll be up in a minute.
54:22Oh, will you?
54:23Yes, I thought so.
54:26Unless you'd rather I wasn't.
54:29I'll see you in a minute.
55:27I'll see you in a minute.
55:57I'll see you in a minute.
56:13I'll see you in a minute.
56:38I'll see you in a minute.
56:57Good for you.
56:58Bye.
56:58Bye.
57:06Bye.
57:18You
