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.
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.
00:03:13For her, there was only you.
00:03:34No, she was.
00:03:37She's like proud of Philip.
00:03:37I can't see a big boy.
00:03:37Oh.
00:03:38Oh.
00:03:44Oh.
00:03:44Oh.
00:03:46Yeah.
00:03:46Oh.
00:03:47Oh.
00:03:47Oh.
00:03:47Oh.
00:03:48Oh.
00:03:50Oh.
00:03:50Oh, oh.
00:03:52Oh, oh.
00:03:54Oh, oh.
00:03:56Oh, oh.
00:04:09Elizabeth.
00:04:33Elizabeth.
00:05:03Elizabeth.
00:05:34Elizabeth.
00:06:02Right to our jog.
00:06:03Yes, I'll let him know. Thank you.
00:06:06I'm sure he'll be delighted.
00:06:08Bye.
00:06:18Are you winning?
00:06:20Uh, no.
00:06:22Well, there was one brief tantalizing moment
00:06:27and I thought I had it.
00:06:29I moved in for the kill.
00:06:32But then one wrong brushstroke
00:06:35and it got away once again.
00:06:39I've just been talking to Jock about your 80th birthday.
00:06:42No, don't mention it.
00:06:44Because it happens on the same day as the opening of Parliament,
00:06:47they've decided to combine events
00:06:49and hold a reception 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?
00:06:58The painter. To paint your portrait.
00:07:01What portrait?
00:07:03It's the official portrait commissioned by both houses.
00:07:06It's your present.
00:07:08Sutherland?
00:07:09Hmm.
00:07:11Never heard of him.
00:07:12He's got quite the reputation.
00:07:14He's a modernist.
00:07:15Oh, I'm 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, 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?
00:08:39Poor G.
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?
00:09:23Well, can I just say one more time, for the record,
00:09:28I think we should start fast and run at a 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.
00:09:51Look at that.
00:10:05Loree.
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.
00:11:13Why?
00:11:15Accuracy is truth.
00:11:16For accuracy, we have the camera.
00:11:19Painting 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.
00:11:33If 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.
00:11:46I'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.
00:11:59Then I shall do some charcoal sketches, studies of the head, hands, and then I'll work the sketches up.
00:12:09The actual painting will be done in my studio.
00:12:16Um, is this?
00:12:17Do you mind?
00:12:18Perfect.
00:12:18All right.
00:12:19Carry 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.
00:12:49I think seated is more senatorial.
00:12:53Senatorial.
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.
00:13:45Saturne.
00:13:46Fine.
00:13:47He's a 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 a flatterer.
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.
00:14:31Good-bye, good-bye.
00:14:54It's so fair, Mark. I know, I know.
00:15:08What a champion. What a champion.
00:15:13Oh, hello.
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.
00:15:38Watching 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. And an underdog became a star.
00:15:50Yes, it's his favourite horse.
00:15:54So, what's next, Roger?
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, four? Already at the older end of the spectrum.
00:16:10If you're asking my opinion.
00:16:12Well, that is why I asked you here 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.
00:16:26Let him earn you some proper money as a star.
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.
00:16:53Actually, she's a Portsman.
00:16:54Oh dear, so no money.
00:16:56Some money.
00:16:57But 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.
00:17:11Only some of the time.
00:17:13All the time.
00:17:14That makes you terrifying.
00:17:16She's heard a lot about you.
00:17:19From whom?
00:17:20From me.
00:17:22Some of it nice, too.
00:18:03The one you let get away.
00:18:06What?
00:18:07The one you let get away.
00:18:08It was carried a torch for you.
00:18:09Poor 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.
00:18:25That'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.
00:18:36So I hear.
00:19:06Sir.
00:19:07Good 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 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.
00:19:55I have more important things to do.
00:20:01Very well.
00:20:07At some point,
00:20:09every leader must ask himself whether by staying in office
00:20:15he is giving to the country
00:20:17or taking from it.
00:20:19Helping
00:20:21or harming.
00:20:23And I would suggest that for some time now
00:20:27you have been taking and harming.
00:20:31And therefore I come to you
00:20:33in the name of the party and of the country
00:20:36for the very last time, Winston
00:20:40to bid you to stand down.
00:20:42I will in good time.
00:20:43At the right time.
00:20:45The right time was nine years ago
00:20:48when you lost us the election.
00:20:49And I have since avenged that defeat
00:20:52by winning us the last election.
00:20:54I won a sec, Winston!
00:20:55I won that!
00:21:01People voted conservative
00:21:03in the clear expectation
00:21:05that you would give way to me.
00:21:07That is such rubbish!
00:21:09They voted conservative
00:21:10because they couldn't stomach socialism!
00:21:13Inflation is out of control.
00:21:15And with every misjudgment,
00:21:18with every miscalculation,
00:21:21with every utterance you make!
00:21:23That appetite to return to the left
00:21:25is growing!
00:21:26Be careful, Anthony.
00:21:27Too much excitement is not good
00:21:29for one so soon after an operation.
00:21:31Spoken by a man who
00:21:32only two months ago
00:21:34was 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
00:21:45the pills rattle around inside of you.
00:21:48I have something
00:21:49that you'll never see again.
00:21:52A clean bill of health.
00:21:55A stallion said the same.
00:21:57He died
00:21:58wrothering on the floor!
00:22:01Mr. Sutherland is here.
00:22:04Hello, Anthony.
00:22:05Anthony was just leaving.
00:22:08Hello, Anthony.
00:22:11Hello, Anthony.
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.
00:22:27You're going to sleep.
00:22:27I'm a brother.
00:22:41Yes, I'm glad to do that.
00:22:42Hello, Anthony.
00:22:43I'm still going to sleep.
00:22:45Back to Point.
00:22:52What are you saying?
00:22:55I don't have to sleep on the floor.
00:22:55I'm sorry, but he's not at those.
00:22:55I'm not at all.
00:22:55I'm happy to be here.
00:22:56How are you waiting for the door?
00:22:56I have to sleep with my friend?
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.
00:23:24I gave a heavyweight cotton.
00:23:25A cold-pressed, decal-edged,
00:23:28sized with gelatine.
00:23:36How many paintings has your husband
00:23:38complete in a year, Mrs Sutherland?
00:23:41Three or four.
00:23:44Would you care to guess
00:23:45how many I average?
00:23:47Ten?
00:23:50Fifteen?
00:23:51Sixty!
00:23:53Of course.
00:23:54I'm just a hobbyist.
00:23:56An enthusiast.
00:23:58Not a major artist like your husband.
00:24:03Taking his time.
00:24:07Over here.
00:24:20I'm just a hobbyist.
00:24:22I'm just a hobbyist.
00:24:23I'm just a hobbyist.
00:24:24I'm just a hobbyist.
00:24:24I'm just a hobbyist.
00:24:25I'm just a hobbyist.
00:24:26I'm just a hobbyist.
00:24:26I'm just a hobbyist.
00:24:27I'm just a hobbyist.
00:24:27I'm just a hobbyist.
00:24:28I'm just a hobbyist.
00:24:31I'm just a hobbyist.
00:24:34I'm just a hobbyist.
00:24:36I'm just a hobbyist.
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, I quite understand.
00:25:27How 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.
00:26:18Freedom.
00:26:18The highest ideals of government and leadership.
00:26:22Just 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.
00:26:54It 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.
00:27:47What 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.
00:28:02A cover?
00:28:04Yes, that's the correct term.
00:28:06For a 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, Oriole might cover 40 mares.
00:28:20Making 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.
00:28:29Making me over 200,000 pounds.
00:28:32Creating 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 Oriole.
00:28:49Yes, I suppose so.
00:28:52Like old man Carnarvon.
00:28:56Who?
00:28:57Your friend Porchy's father.
00:29:01Porchy?
00:29:01No.
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.
00:29:12An entire generation of British aristocrats was related to him.
00:29:17An illegitimate Porchy in 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?
00:29:32Nothing.
00:29:37Michael.
00:29:39Dear boy.
00:29:45Good night.
00:29:47Good night.
00:29:50Let me have a look here.
00:29:52Marvellous.
00:29:53Shall we?
00:29:54Come on.
00:29:54You look beautiful.
00:29:56Mm-hmm.
00:30:14Mm-hmm.
00:30:20No.
00:30:23Human.
00:30:26Yeah.
00:30:27No.
00:30:28No.
00:30:28No.
00:30:29No.
00:31:30Have a seat.
00:31:31Too bad, sir.
00:31:32Good morning.
00:31:47Morning.
00:32:00You're a wife this time.
00:32:03You know, I asked her not to come.
00:32:11Since this is to be our final session,
00:32:15I wanted us to be all alone.
00:32:21In silence, preferably.
00:32:23Yes, yes.
00:32:25I'll be a good boy.
00:32:33I quite understand the need for concentration.
00:32:37Painting the picture is like fighting a battle,
00:32:41a bloody battle.
00:32:43In the gladiatorial fight to the death,
00:32:46the artist either wins or loses.
00:32:51Are you winning?
00:32:53I hope so.
00:32:56Do you think I'll like it?
00:32:58I think that's possibly too much to ask for.
00:33:02But I do take comfort from the fact that your own work is so honest 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?
00:33:21I 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.
00:33:31It's very much more than that,
00:33:32as borne out by the fact that you've returned to it again and again,
00:33:36more than 20 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,
00:33:56and the fish down 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 in the water.
00:34:25Terrible despair.
00:34:27Hiding like a leviathan,
00:34:29like a sea monster.
00:34:32You saw all that?
00:34:34Yes, I did.
00:34:37Perhaps that says more about you than me.
00:34:39Mm-hmm.
00:34:42Perhaps.
00:34:46May I ask you a question,
00:34:48Mr. Sutherland?
00:34:49Hmm.
00:34:50It's about one of your paintings,
00:34:53the one you call pastoral,
00:34:55with all that
00:34:58gnarled and twisted wood,
00:35:01those great ugly dabs of black.
00:35:05I 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, uh,
00:35:16it was a very dark time.
00:35:17And my, uh,
00:35:20my son,
00:35:21John,
00:35:23passed away,
00:35:24age of two months.
00:35:30Oh, my.
00:35:32I am sorry.
00:35:39Yes, thank you.
00:35:58You have five, yes?
00:36:01Four.
00:36:04Marigold was the fifth.
00:36:07She left us at age
00:36:10two years, nine months.
00:36:12Septicemia.
00:36:13I'm so sorry.
00:36:14I had no idea.
00:36:19We settled on the name Marigold
00:36:22on account of her
00:36:24wonderful golden curls,
00:36:27the most extraordinary color.
00:36:32Regretfully,
00:36:34though perhaps mercifully,
00:36:36I, I, I was not present
00:36:37when she died.
00:36:39When I came home,
00:36:42Clemmie
00:36:45roared like a wounded animal.
00:36:55We bought
00:36:56Chant, well,
00:36:57a year after
00:36:59Marigold died.
00:37:03That was when I put in
00:37:05the,
00:37:08the pond.
00:37:37Yeah.
00:37:59Your pleasure.
00:38:06I, I look forward
00:38:08to seeing it.
00:38:27Let me, let me,
00:38:32let me free,
00:38:34it is the death
00:38:41of death.
00:38:50Hello.
00:38:51Hello.
00:38:53Shall we?
00:38:55Yes.
00:39:00Given this is Oriel's debut,
00:39:02we want to leave
00:39:03nothing to chance.
00:39:03I've called up
00:39:04three different mares.
00:39:06Very rarely does
00:39:07a forced tryst
00:39:08make a fruitful tryst.
00:39:10On what's the perfect fall,
00:39:11one needs to be prepared
00:39:12to wait for the perfect peril.
00:39:14Shall we?
00:39:14No, no, girl.
00:39:15Meet Neocracy.
00:39:17No, the Aga Khan.
00:39:18Indeed.
00:39:19Yes.
00:39:20Recently retired,
00:39:21with a good record
00:39:21as a winner.
00:39:22Lovely temperament.
00:39:24My only concern would be,
00:39:26is she perhaps
00:39:27a little too...
00:39:28Fashal.
00:39:29I worry that
00:39:30if we were pleased
00:39:31through to it,
00:39:31nothing would ever happen.
00:39:33Which is why
00:39:34I've also called up
00:39:34Turkish blood.
00:39:36As you can see,
00:39:38an altogether
00:39:38different proposition.
00:39:39Indeed.
00:39:39Strong, willful,
00:39:41with a terrific
00:39:41track record herself.
00:39:43I really would be
00:39:44breathing the best
00:39:45with the best.
00:39:46I'm sensing a bar.
00:39:47Through memory,
00:39:49your Oriel
00:39:49is something
00:39:50of a sensitive soul.
00:39:51That hit him
00:39:52will be intimidated
00:39:53or come unstuck
00:39:54and faced
00:39:54a fiery warrior
00:39:55like this.
00:39:56That's very considerate
00:39:57of your portrait.
00:39:58Which is why
00:39:58I have a good feeling
00:39:59about our third candidate.
00:40:01Feast your eyes
00:40:02on Temple Bar.
00:40:03A hot thoroughbred
00:40:04with the winning streak
00:40:05herself.
00:40:06A little on the young
00:40:07side, perhaps.
00:40:09Just three.
00:40:10We don't mind that,
00:40:11do we?
00:40:16An immediate engagement.
00:40:18Yes.
00:40:19I must say,
00:40:20I do like this one.
00:40:22What a pair
00:40:23of the feeling
00:40:24is mutual.
00:40:29Telegrams have been
00:40:30pouring into
00:40:31Dining Street today
00:40:32to wish Sir
00:40:33Winston Churchill
00:40:34a happy 80th birthday
00:40:36on this,
00:40:37the 30th of November.
00:40:39They come from
00:40:39all parts of the globe.
00:40:44Happy birthday,
00:40:46that darling old pug.
00:40:53Happy birthday to you.
00:40:58Happy birthday to you.
00:41:02Happy birthday,
00:41:04my initiated son.
00:41:07Happy birthday to you.
00:41:12뭐냐,
00:41:14but pray that drunken
00:41:42Oh, is it time?
00:41:43It is, Paul.
00:41:44Right.
00:41:53Go sit 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.
00:42:56I am deeply honoured to be here today.
00:43:01No politician has ever received such an honour before, and I am deeply grateful.
00:43:10I 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.
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 is playing with them all.
00:44:03When 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.
00:44:52So, at long last, I look forward to unveiling this painting.
00:45:30The 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, sitting on a chair, producing a stool, a broken, sagging, pitiful creature, squeezing
00:46:34and squeezing.
00:46:36That's not how it's being seen.
00:46:37That is how it is, and 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.
00:46:47Then they should have commissioned an artist who is respectful, instead of a Judas wielding
00:46:52his murderous brush.
00:46:55Look at it!
00:46:56It is a betrayal of friendship, and an unpatriotic, treacherous, cowardly assault by the individualistic
00:47:05left.
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
00:47:16you even more.
00:47:16You make monsters of everyone you admire.
00:47:20It's not vindictive.
00:47:22No.
00:47:23It's art.
00:47:23It's not personal.
00:47:25Well, 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.
00:47:48It is cruel.
00:47:49Age is cruel.
00:47:57If you see decay, it's because there's decay.
00:47:59If you see frailty, it's because there's frailty.
00:48:03I 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.
00:48:36I think you should go.
00:49:13I 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.
00:49:34I cannot go on.
00:49:37I've said that before.
00:49:42And this time I mean it.
00:49:44I'm tired.
00:49:46I'm tired.
00:49:49You've had enough.
00:49:53I have, my love.
00:49:59This time I really have.
00:50:02Good.
00:50:06I have, my love.
00:50:08I have, my love.
00:50:23I have, my love.
00:50:24I have, my love.
00:50:27I have, my love.
00:50:28I have, my love.
00:50:29I have, my love.
00:50:30I have, my love.
00:50:31I have, my love.
00:50:33I have, my love.
00:50:33I 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.
00:51:20And 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, he might even stop cursing me.
00:51:31Then he will be overwhelmed by a job in which no man can ever succeed.
00:51:37And 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.
00:51:48So.
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.
00:52:18Which is why it's time for me to leave.
00:52:31Your man just did.
00:52:32It's hard.
00:52:44I don't know.
00:52:45I don't care.
00:52:47I don't care.
00:52:48I don't care.
00:53:02That's me.
00:53:06I don't know.
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?
00:54:46Attraction isn't so much about looks.
00:54:49Smell.
00:54:50Oh, I see.
00:54:51Well, does she smell good?
00:54:52Well, we'll see.
00:54:53Maybe.
00:54:55Come on.
00:54:56Come on, have a look.
00:55:03Rather like us, darling, when we were courting.
00:55:05Shh.
00:55:06Will you please?
00:55:08Be quiet.
00:55:10Yeah, look.
00:55:11Here we go.
00:55:12All right.
00:55:13All right.
00:55:13You all right?
00:55:15Yeah.
00:55:17Hold her steady.
00:55:19Ready?
00:55:22All right.
00:55:24I see.
00:55:31Back off.
00:55:34Good boy.
00:55:40Is that it?
00:55:41Mike.
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, Porche.
00:55:54Yes, indeed.
00:55:56Well done, Porche.
00:55:58I hear he's been given a direct line.
00:56:01Who?
00:56:02Porche.
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.
00:56:12Porche 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.
00:56:33Well, that all seemed to go well.
00:56:35Yes, it did, isn't it?
00:56:39You all right?
00:56:54Yes.
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.
00:57:34Porche 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?
00:58:32May 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, and 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 who may one day follow
00:59:13him in office will ever, for me, be able to hold the place of my first Prime Minister.
00:59:20To whom my husband and I owe so much, and for whose wise guidance during the early years of my
00:59:29reign, I shall always be so profoundly grateful.
00:59:40I will remember you always, for your magnanimity, your courage at all times, and for your unfailing humour, founded in
00:59:59your unrivaled mastery of the English language.
01:00:05I take comfort from the fact that in losing my constitutional advisor, I gain a wise counsellor, to whom I
01:00:20shall look for help and support in 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.
01:00:50May there be many of them.
01:00:52May there be many of them.
01:00:56May there be many philosophers that listen about under��cast,
