00:00:08The Queen's Critic is headed again!
00:00:11Here, attach the Queen!
00:00:14Queen's Critic!
00:00:17Queen's Critic is headed again!
00:00:19Come on, Jack.
00:00:21I'll take one of each this morning, please.
00:00:24And a sundae as well.
00:00:27That's right.
00:00:30Queen's Critic is headed again!
00:00:32Here, attach the Queen!
00:00:50No, I shan't have anything.
00:00:53Sorry, dear.
00:01:21I think it's right.
00:01:23Do you?
00:01:24Yeah.
00:01:25Now I think about it, she is a bit priggish.
00:01:33Good boy.
00:01:33Thank you, I'm athem.
00:01:53gooseucher,
00:01:54do you do?
00:01:55Good boy.
00:01:55Good boy!
00:01:57Hey!
00:01:57Well done.
00:01:58Come on, Axe. That's it.
00:02:01You're on Altingham.
00:02:03Yes.
00:02:07Get straight up!
00:02:44Really?
00:02:48Really.
00:02:53Really.
00:02:55Well, I shall certainly let Her Majesty know.
00:03:04Time and tide, Mr. Conservator.
00:03:07Wait for no man, Private Secretary.
00:03:09Good afternoon to you.
00:03:11Good afternoon, sir.
00:03:24What is it now?
00:03:27Lord Altrincham has been struck.
00:03:33Dumb, I hope.
00:03:35Better than that, ma'am.
00:03:37In the face.
00:03:39Quite forcefully, I'm told.
00:03:42By whom?
00:03:44Which gallant and chivalrous individual?
00:03:46I'm afraid we don't have those details yet, ma'am.
00:03:49The incident occurred outside the television studios
00:03:54and the perpetrator is now on his way to the Bow Street police station
00:03:59where we expect him to be released without charge.
00:04:03How very gratifying.
00:04:05Yes.
00:04:07Very.
00:04:08Which television studios?
00:04:10The Independent Television Network Studios, ma'am,
00:04:13where Altrincham had just recorded an interview.
00:04:17For what?
00:04:19A programme appropriately called Impact.
00:04:23When will it air?
00:04:25Tonight, ma'am.
00:04:27Nine o'clock.
00:04:47Tell the people.
00:04:48Tell them on television.
00:04:51Questions in the public mind.
00:04:53Answered by people in the public eye.
00:04:56This is Impact.
00:04:57A programme that examines the most important matters of the moment.
00:05:02And which will debate to you at home.
00:05:05Sorry I'm late.
00:05:05Robin Day puts the question.
00:05:07It's just starting.
00:05:10Tonight we have a man who, because of press activity in recent days,
00:05:14probably needs no introduction.
00:05:15Lord Altrincham.
00:05:17In the space of just a few days, his inflammatory and deeply personal attacks on the Queen,
00:05:21in a periodical of which he is also publisher,
00:05:24have become the most pressing issue of the day
00:05:26and caused something of a constitutional crisis.
00:05:29So, I'd like to begin by asking Lord Altrincham a simple question.
00:05:34She's our head of state.
00:05:36Loved, respected and admired throughout the world.
00:05:39So, why do you hate her so very much?
00:06:11Here we go.
00:06:12Oh, my God.
00:06:32Oh, my God.
00:07:03National and English Review, two shillings.
00:07:06National and English Review, two shillings.
00:07:10National and English Review, two shillings.
00:07:14It's far too long. People are beginning to notice.
00:07:17And that is why the...
00:07:22And that is why the ending of doctrinal tests
00:07:25and the introduction of women priests
00:07:26is the only viable solution for saving the Church of England,
00:07:29an institution that is becoming increasingly outdated
00:07:33and irrelevant hour by hour.
00:07:35Who's got a thousand words for me on that?
00:07:37Hello, Patricia.
00:07:39Would anyone like some toffee?
00:07:41Bring it over here, Patricia darling.
00:07:49Oh, divine.
00:07:51Much like Patricia herself.
00:07:53Come, come, my dear.
00:07:54Be seated.
00:07:58Right.
00:07:59If no-one's keen on the Church story, I can knock something up.
00:08:03Now, a piece on reforming the House of Laws.
00:08:06Dermot.
00:08:07You were going to look at that for me, weren't you?
00:08:08Something nutty about it?
00:08:10Mmm.
00:08:11Molasses.
00:08:12And Europe.
00:08:13We need to work out our official stance.
00:08:15Are we for or against a single European market?
00:08:22Are we in or out?
00:08:25Toffee, John.
00:08:27Oh, you must try some, John.
00:08:29Afraid I have a thing against toffee.
00:08:34Why didn't I know that?
00:08:36Right.
00:08:37You can't know everything about me.
00:08:42It's not the taste I object to so much.
00:08:44I just have painful memories.
00:08:49As a child.
00:08:51Or as sitting in a dentist's chair because of a piece of toffee I ate.
00:08:58Oh.
00:09:01Oh, Lord.
00:09:03Not again.
00:09:05Hi.
00:09:07I have a...
00:09:10Perhaps you don't understand
00:09:12that on your steadfastness and ability to withstand the fatigue of dull, repetitive work
00:09:20and your great courage in meeting constant, small adversities
00:09:26depend in great measure the happiness and prosperity of the community as a whole.
00:09:38The upward course of a nation's history is due in the long run to the soundness of heart of its
00:09:47average men and women.
00:09:50Um...
00:09:53Working men and women?
00:09:57Has a touch more dignity?
00:10:04Uh...
00:10:06No, I think average is fine.
00:10:22I thought you might be interested to see this.
00:10:25It's a draft of a speech the Queen's going to give in a week's time.
00:10:29Um...
00:10:30I don't mind telling you I felt a bit uneasy about it.
00:10:49Yes.
00:10:49Yeah?
00:10:51Sir, forgive me if I'm interfering beyond my station.
00:11:01Tommy.
00:11:02Pardon.
00:11:04You were about to interfere beyond your station.
00:11:09It's concerning the speech the Queen is due to give next week.
00:11:13At the Jagger car factory.
00:11:16What about it?
00:11:17I was just...
00:11:19wondering if you were happy with it?
00:11:24Well, obviously I'm happy with it.
00:11:26Or I wouldn't have shown it to Her Majesty for the approval which she immediately gave.
00:11:33Did the Queen read it?
00:11:34She didn't need to.
00:11:36She merely asked if I was happy.
00:11:39I replied in the affirmative.
00:11:41And that was good enough for Her Majesty.
00:11:46But I can see that the very important question is...
00:11:51Is it good enough for Colonel Chattery's?
00:11:56You don't think it...
00:11:58...strikes the wrong tone?
00:12:00In which sense?
00:12:02In its...
00:12:04...paternalism.
00:12:08May I?
00:12:11You?
00:12:13I suppose if I...
00:12:16...had a concern...
00:12:18...it would be that post-Suez...
00:12:20...in this new...
00:12:22...climate.
00:12:23In this new Britain.
00:12:26The tone...
00:12:28...of the speech is...
00:12:30...somewhat...
00:12:31...somewhat what?
00:12:36Old-fashioned.
00:12:39Then would leave her open to attack.
00:12:42From whom?
00:12:43The newspapers.
00:12:46People.
00:12:47If I had a shilling...
00:12:48...for every time...
00:12:49...someone of a progressive...
00:12:50...or liberal disposition...
00:12:52...had warned needlessly...
00:12:53...of a popular attack...
00:12:55...against the crown...
00:12:55...I'd be a rich man.
00:12:57The British people...
00:12:58...adore their sovereign...
00:13:00...which is what constitutes...
00:13:01...indeed defines...
00:13:03...being British.
00:13:04Now the worst I've ever encountered...
00:13:06...is apathy...
00:13:07...where people...
00:13:08...simply accept the king or queen...
00:13:10...as they accept the sky above their heads.
00:13:12But it's a long way...
00:13:14...from apathy to insurrection.
00:13:16Now as regards the newspapers...
00:13:18...the crown can count on their support...
00:13:20...for two reasons.
00:13:21First, there is nothing to attack.
00:13:24That's the advantage...
00:13:25...of a constitutional monarchy.
00:13:27They have no power...
00:13:28...so there's nothing to complain about.
00:13:30And even if they wanted to...
00:13:31...they'd always let us know first.
00:13:33The palace would then threaten them...
00:13:35...with a boycott...
00:13:36...on the next major royal event...
00:13:38...causing the newspapers...
00:13:39...immediately to back down.
00:13:41Because the very people...
00:13:42...you fear...
00:13:44...will hate the queen...
00:13:45...and the same ones...
00:13:46...who buy copies...
00:13:48...in their millions.
00:13:49Why?
00:13:50Because they love her.
00:13:55So I'm...
00:13:57...worrying unnecessarily?
00:13:58Martin...
00:13:59...I shall leave the drawing of that...
00:14:02...inescapable conclusion...
00:14:04...to you.
00:14:22I'm going to take it in...
00:14:23...a little shorter, ma'am...
00:14:24...and rounder it back.
00:14:26Lovely.
00:14:27Can you hang for...
00:14:30...to you...
00:14:34...opt to me...
00:14:37...and me can't see...
00:14:46...you know...
00:14:49God, I'm going to...
00:14:50...pair...
00:14:51...and me...
00:14:53...for that...
00:15:18I like it very much.
00:15:44I thought you were hoping for more children from me.
00:15:49I am.
00:15:52Why on earth would you do something like that to your hair?
00:15:55What's wrong with it?
00:15:59I thought it was tidy and sensible.
00:16:02Adjectives to stir the loins?
00:16:05Apparently it's very animoge.
00:16:07All the regimental wives are wearing their hair like this now.
00:16:10Really?
00:16:11Yes.
00:16:11It's certainly very practical.
00:16:14And should you ever feel compelled to ride a motorcycle, it could always double as a helmet.
00:16:20Well, I like it.
00:16:24I have nothing against it, Pastor.
00:16:27Stop it.
00:16:28She won't provide ample protection against any falling masonry.
00:16:37But if enlarging the family and enticing your husband to procreate is the goal...
00:16:43It is.
00:16:44Then you might take a look at Jane Mansfield.
00:16:48No, I'll lean into it all the way in.
00:16:49Arrita Hale.
00:16:51Oh, Arrita Hale.
00:16:54...
00:17:16Arrita Hale.
00:17:19Welcome, Your Majesty.
00:17:20Thank you, sir.
00:17:21Elliot.
00:17:23Elliot.
00:17:24It's very, um, spacious.
00:17:27This is our research and development area.
00:17:29No, no, it's not.
00:17:31May I introduce you, ma'am, to Nigel Willoughby,
00:17:33who sketches all of our prototypes?
00:17:36You started drawing, did you?
00:17:38Very good, sir.
00:17:40And that's a chessie?
00:17:41Yes, indeed.
00:17:42A finished MK1, Your Majesty.
00:17:45Ah, no, it's not done.
00:17:47With top speeds of over 100 miles per hour.
00:17:51Quite the thing, I've always been interested in the red leather.
00:17:54Is it horse or cow?
00:17:57Hello.
00:18:10I wish first to express to you
00:18:13my very great pleasure at being here today.
00:18:17My husband and I have been most profoundly moved
00:18:21by your hospitable welcome
00:18:24and would like you to know how very grateful we are to you all for the work that you do.
00:18:32We understand that in the turbulence of this anxious and active world,
00:18:38many of you are leading uneventful, lonely lives,
00:18:43where dreariness is the enemy.
00:18:48Perhaps you don't understand that on your steadfastness and ability to withstand the fatigue of dull, repetitive work
00:18:58depend in great measure the happiness and prosperity of the community as a whole.
00:19:07The upward course of a nation's history is due, in the long run, to the soundness of heart of its
00:19:15average men and women.
00:19:18May you be proud to remember how much depends on you
00:19:22and that even when your life seems most monotonous,
00:19:27what you do is always of real value and importance to your fellow.
00:19:34Let's have a wonderful time.
00:19:37Let's have a wonderful time.
00:19:39Come on, everybody.
00:19:40Let's have a wonderful time.
00:19:42Hello, Dojnum.
00:19:44Evening, Richard.
00:19:46News Corical.
00:19:48Evening, Richard.
00:19:55Ah, I need a favour.
00:19:57Some typing.
00:19:57Oh, you're going home.
00:19:59I don't need to be.
00:20:00I don't need to be.
00:20:01I don't need to be.
00:20:05I've just heard a ridiculous speech by the Queen,
00:20:08and I want to write an immediate response.
00:20:11I'll find someone else.
00:20:13No, no, it's no trouble.
00:20:15I had nothing else planned.
00:20:46I've had another thought.
00:20:47Super.
00:20:49A rather heretical thought.
00:20:51I got the idea from something Walter Badgett said
00:20:54about the first duty of royalty being to inspire.
00:21:26All right, now.
00:34:36Good day.
00:34:37Good day.
00:35:37in the newspapers to last night's television interview
00:35:40and to the assault upon Lord Altrincham.
00:35:43I'm afraid it's not quite as we'd hoped.
00:35:49Why not?
00:35:52Well, the man that struck Altrincham, it turns out,
00:35:55is a member of the extreme right League of Empire Loyalists,
00:36:00which is a pressure group that campaigns
00:36:03against the dissolution of the Empire
00:36:06and has a clear doctrine of English racial supremacy.
00:36:10Oh, dear.
00:36:12And it seems that most people have decided,
00:36:16having watched Altrincham on television,
00:36:19that he is eminently reasonable.
00:36:24Now, almost half the country
00:36:27appears to agree with his sentiments,
00:36:31and there are new polls to support this.
00:36:33Letters to the Daily Mirror are running at four to one in Altrincham's favour.
00:36:39And even the normally conservative Daily Mail
00:36:45changed its tune this morning.
00:36:49in addition, and this I believe reflects on his growing concern
00:36:54at some of the telephone calls that he has been receiving,
00:36:58the Prime Minister suggested
00:37:00that he come up a week earlier than planned
00:37:03in order to discuss it all with you in person.
00:37:12Well, I hope you're going to apologise to Mr. Macmillan, too.
00:37:16No.
00:37:17You're not going to deny that this hell mess
00:37:19springs from a badly written speech which I gave unquestioningly
00:37:22because I trusted you.
00:37:25Perhaps Lord Altrincham is right.
00:37:27Perhaps I should surround myself with younger, more dynamic people
00:37:30with one foot in the real world.
00:37:33A question is,
00:37:34Give me yourself to the Daily Mail.
00:37:36Bye.
00:37:36Bye.
00:37:42Bye.
00:37:43Bye.
00:37:46Bye.
00:37:47Bye.
00:37:48Bye.
00:37:49Bye.
00:37:49Bye.
00:37:49Bye.
00:37:52Bye.
00:37:54Bye.
00:38:01and you believe it's now a government measure I do ambassadors from all around the world
00:38:08have been calling me concerned her majesty will hardly need reminding a great many other countries
00:38:16have overthrown their monarchies and become republics in recent years
00:38:22Egypt Bulgaria Italy Tunisia only last month of course we're not at that point not at a red light
00:38:31we're not even at an amber but we'd hate it to become amber
00:38:38and so it is my view the government's view that it would be wise to contain this as soon as
00:38:44possible
00:38:44and do what the obvious thing altering them is a fire which needs to be put out
00:38:55go at you
00:39:02go at you
00:39:19go at you

00:41:02Sir, follow!
00:41:33Lord Ortingham?
00:41:35Yes.
00:41:36This way, please.
00:42:05Good to know I'm seeing the top man.
00:42:11In one sense.
00:42:20Here we are, Lord Ortingham. Colonel Charteris will be with you shortly.
00:42:28Sir.
00:42:52I see we have... something in common.
00:42:58And what would that be?
00:43:05Your Majesty.
00:43:10I was referring to the photos of Eton and Sandhurst.
00:43:16Which you attended to, I gather.
00:43:18Yes.
00:43:20Going on to become an Officer of the Guards at both St James's Palace and Windsor Castle.
00:43:27Doesn't quite fit the profile of a revolutionary.
00:43:31It's the assumption everyone has made that because I dare offer an opinion I must be trying to burn the
00:43:36Temple down.
00:43:38On the contrary, I'm trying to make sure it survives.
00:43:42Well, those of us in the Temple are very much looking forward to hearing what it is we must do
00:43:47in order to survive.
00:43:50Shall we begin?
00:43:55Is my voice all right?
00:43:58You can understand me?
00:44:00Yes.
00:44:02Not too strangled?
00:44:03Not too much of pain in the neck?
00:44:06No.
00:44:06Good.
00:44:10So, what is it that you'd have me change?
00:44:13It's not so much what I'd have you change.
00:44:16Just an acknowledgement that it has changed.
00:44:20What?
00:44:22Everything.
00:44:24And to prepare yourself for the fact we now live in a time where people like me...
00:44:32Can say exactly what they think?
00:44:34Yes.
00:44:35In any way they want?
00:44:37Yes.
00:44:38And remind me, why is that exactly?
00:44:44Because the age of deference is over.
00:44:48And what is left without deference?
00:44:52Anarchy.
00:44:54Equality.
00:44:55How can it be equality when I cannot return the fire?
00:44:58You can.
00:44:59But I struggle to think of a moment in history where it has worked to a monarch's advantage to return
00:45:05fire on their own people.
00:45:07But you have managed to think of how this monarch might do something to her advantage.
00:45:13I have.
00:45:14And that same monarch is sitting before.
00:45:17Forgive me.
00:45:19A failed politician.
00:45:22And an unrecognized journalist.
00:45:25And taking his advice on how to do her job.
00:45:30The situation is as baffling to me as it is to you, Your Majesty.
00:45:48Oh, I've got a list.
00:45:51I do.
00:45:53As you might know from my article, I made a series of observations.
00:45:58Recommendations of things to change.
00:46:00But for the purposes of this meeting, I chose to limit those recommendations to, um, six.
00:46:07Six.
00:46:09Three things to start and three things to stop.
00:46:13Well, let's start with the stops.
00:46:17Very well.
00:46:18Ah, yes.
00:46:20Putting an end to the debutante's ball.
00:46:24The idea that only young women of a certain class are presented to the Sovereign,
00:46:29and women who are not of that class are not presented to the Sovereign,
00:46:32and somehow not acceptable.
00:46:35This is the sort of iniquity that should have died out with our grandparents' generation,
00:46:40certainly after the war.
00:46:46Next.
00:46:49Uh, allow divorced people to move more freely in royal circles.
00:46:58Why?
00:47:00The Sovereign is head of the Church of England, and the Church does not recognise divorced persons.
00:47:05It's unkind.
00:47:08Discriminatory.
00:47:09Quite possibly unlawful.
00:47:14Next.
00:47:16Uh, I would recommend getting rid of an entire generation of courtier.
00:47:22The old school.
00:47:24Stuck in the past.
00:47:26Ostriches, with their heads buried in the sand.
00:47:30They're stopping the palace evolve in keeping with the rest of the world.
00:47:33Those ostriches provide an indispensable function of monarchy.
00:47:39The preservation of tradition.
00:47:44You asked for my recommendations, ma'am.
00:47:48I'm respectfully passing them on.
00:47:54What would you have me start?
00:47:57Open up, ma'am.
00:48:00Know the drawbridge.
00:48:03Let people get to know you.
00:48:05I don't wish to be known.
00:48:09Televise the Christmas speech.
00:48:12Become more transparent.
00:48:14Accessible.
00:48:18And finally.
00:48:19Oh, finally.
00:48:20Spend time with normal people.
00:48:23Not just courtiers or the great and the good, but real people.
00:48:27Average people.
00:48:29Working people.
00:48:32Open the doors.
00:48:34Make it more inclusive and egalitarian.
00:48:40Let normal people get to know you too.
00:48:56Would you mind stepping out into the corridor for a moment?
00:48:59No, not at all.
00:49:08And would you ask my private secretary to come in?
00:49:12Of course.
00:49:20Your Majesty.
00:49:42Your Majesty.
00:49:44Who matters?
00:50:01The horrors.
00:50:03Please.
00:50:18When I went back into the room, she was gone.
00:50:24Vanished into thin air.
00:50:26Do sit down.
00:50:28Charteress then went home to tell me that no one can ever know that I met the Queen.
00:50:33And that should I ever claim that I did, the palace would robustly deny it.
00:50:38They will, however, concede that I had an appointment with Her Majesty's Assistant, Private Secretary.
00:50:44And that concessions might be made to one or two of my recommendations.
00:50:51May I ask which ones?
00:51:00Let's get these lights in, quickly.
00:51:02Please, with that camera.
00:51:05This one next.
00:51:07Well done.
00:51:08Now let's have the rest of the cake.
00:51:21You're like an actress.
00:51:23A common little showgirl.
00:51:25Don't be silly.
00:51:28In what way am I different?
00:51:31Memorising lines and remembering angles and wearing make-up.
00:51:36You're the Queen of the United Kingdom, for one thing.
00:51:39Yes.
00:51:40It was memorising lines and remembering angles and wearing make-up.
00:51:54Your Majesty.
00:51:56Right.
00:51:59Where do you want me?
00:52:00This way, please, ma'am.
00:52:03Which one looks like?
00:52:14Check please.
00:52:15Does everyone on standby?
00:52:16This is the prompt from here.
00:52:36Matt.
00:52:48Matt.
00:53:215, 4, 3.
00:53:28Happy Christmas.
00:53:3325 years ago, my grandfather broadcast the first of these Christmas messages.
00:53:41Today is another landmark, because television has made it possible for many of you to see
00:53:47me in your homes on Christmas Day.
00:53:51My own family often gather round to watch the television, as they are at this moment, and
00:53:58that is how I think of you all now.
00:54:00I very much hope that this new medium will make my Christmas message more personal and
00:54:07direct.
00:54:10It is inevitable that I should seem a rather remote figure to many of you, a successor
00:54:18to the kings and queens of history, someone whose face may be familiar in newspapers and
00:54:25films, but who never really touches your personal lives.
00:54:30But now at least, for a few minutes, I welcome you into the peace of my own home.
00:54:42That it is possible for some of you to see me today is just another example of the speed
00:54:49at which things are changing all around us.
00:54:57I would like to read a few lines from Pilgrim's Progress.
00:55:09And though with great difficulty I am got hither, yet now I do repent me of all the trouble
00:55:17I have been at to arrive where I am, my sword I give to him that shall succeed me in
00:55:24my pilgrimage,
00:55:26and my courage and skill to him that can get it.
00:55:32My marks and scars I carry with me to be a witness for me that I have fought his battles,
00:55:42who now will be my rewarder.
00:55:51I hope that 1958 may bring you God's blessings and all the things that you long for.
00:56:01And so I wish you all, young and old, wherever you may be, all the fun and enjoyment and peace
00:56:10of a very happy Christmas.
00:56:15And we're off air.
00:56:41And we're off air.
00:56:44so I wish you all, young and healthy in peace.
00:57:03So...
00:57:14Oh, hello.
00:57:15How am I?
00:57:17You look pretty.
00:57:19Like the dress.
00:57:21And the hair, very unregimental.
00:57:23Yes, Tony, you're the top person, of course.
00:57:25Only stylist who could be trusted.
00:57:28Does he have a name, this stylist?
00:57:31I want to say Victor Cabom, no, that's not quite right.
00:57:33But, um, Vidal Baboon?
00:57:36Vidal Baboon.
00:57:37Yes, I think.
00:57:38Well, anyway, I talk endlessly about the hair as a geometric art form.
00:57:41It looks jolly pretty.
00:57:43And if you happen to have a number for this baboon,
00:57:45I might pass it on to my wife.
00:57:48Is that appropriate, by the way,
00:57:49that a red-blooded man should know the correct hairdresser for a woman?
00:57:53There's almost nothing that's appropriate about Tony.
00:57:55But he's made it his mission in life to improve me.
00:58:00Your very own little altering him.
00:58:02Yes.
00:58:03It's rather better in bed, I suspect.
00:58:09Oh, dear God.
00:58:10Good one.
00:58:16There it is.
00:58:18Thank you very much.
00:58:21Who do you suppose that is?
00:58:23It could be Mr. David Smith, a car dealer.
00:58:29And that?
00:58:31I believe that is Harriet the Hammer Jones,
00:58:37a boxer from the old Kent Road.
00:58:42Rounding up the numbers, we have a local restaurateur, a bus driver, a bank clerk, and a woman policeman.
00:58:55All to open things up.
00:58:56Yes.
00:58:57Bring us more in line with the real world.
00:58:59To democratise us.
00:59:02And so it goes.
00:59:05The stings and bites we suffer as it slips away, bit by bit, piece by piece.
00:59:14Our authority.
00:59:17Our authority.
00:59:18Our absolutism.
00:59:19Our divine rights.
00:59:29The history of the monarchy in this country is a one-way street of humiliation.
00:59:34Sacrifices and concessions in order to survive.
00:59:37First the barons came for us, then the merchants, now the journalists.
00:59:41Small wonder we make such a fuss about curtsies, protocol, and precedent.
00:59:45It's all we have left.
00:59:46The last scraps of armour as we go from ruling to reigning to...
00:59:53To what?
00:59:54To being nothing at all.
00:59:59Mary Annette.
01:00:07Right.
01:00:09Gloves on.
01:00:10Right.
01:00:13I told the master of the household to rotate the guests between courses, so if you get a dud, don't
01:00:18worry.
01:00:19It'll be 15 minutes at worst.
01:00:43Mr. and Mrs. David Smith.
01:00:44Oh, yes, that was a problem.
01:00:47Very nice.
01:00:48Mr. and Mrs. Patel.
01:00:49Anyway, thank you, what a couple.
01:00:52Mr. Harry the Hatter-in-law.
01:00:53Lovely tie.
01:00:53I play so much fun, have you?
01:00:55Thank you so much fun.
01:00:56You look absolutely...
01:00:57Mr. Martin Jones.
01:00:58What's up?
01:00:58Tell him the truth, huh?
01:01:00Hello, Mrs. Patel.
01:01:02Hello, Mr. Patel.
01:01:02Sergeant Ethel Denry.
01:01:04Hello, dear.
01:01:05Such a pleasure to have you with us.
01:01:07Here they come.
01:01:08Dog dogs.
01:01:09Here they come.
01:01:09Here they come.
01:01:10Here they come.
01:01:10Here they come.
01:01:11Here they come.
01:01:12Here they come.
01:01:18Here they come.
01:01:21Here they come.
01:01:29Here they come.
01:01:33Here they come.
01:01:35Here they come.
01:01:37Here they come.
01:01:39Here they come.
01:01:39Here they come.
01:01:40Here they come.
01:01:40Here they come.
01:01:41Here they come.
01:01:45Here they come.
