00:22:25from there to the next location
00:22:27where you'll make a speech to ex-servicemen
00:22:29at the Royal Yacht Club, then by ferry
00:22:31to visit a school near Mangrove Bay
00:22:32on Westbury Island, then you'll host
00:22:34a garden party here at the Battle's House
00:22:37for a thousand or so guests
00:22:38where we're hoping to find a moment at the ceremonial
00:22:41planting of a tree.
00:22:42We'll find a moment during any of this to use the lavatory.
00:22:45I do hope tomorrow's better.
00:22:48I'm afraid not, sir.
00:22:49Up at 4.30
00:22:50for a 6am flight to Jamaica.
00:22:55Oh, here we go again.
00:22:57Waving like lunatic.
00:22:59Oh, God.
00:23:01With any luck, one day they'll all own television sets
00:23:03and they won't come out like this again.
00:23:06Man, sir.
00:23:07Just before we take off, I thought I might go through
00:23:09the itinerary for our first day in Jamaica.
00:23:12Goody.
00:23:12Yes, sir. Do sit down, Michael.
00:23:15We arrive at noon to be greeted by the governor,
00:23:18representative of the West Indian Islands
00:23:20and a guard upon our beformed
00:23:22by the Jamaican assembly.
00:23:28This is the picture we shall never forget in Jamaica.
00:23:33The lovely lady
00:23:34and the tall, handsome figure of the sailor,
00:23:37her husband.
00:23:39So near to our children
00:23:41that they can almost be touched.
00:23:44So graceful and so near...
00:23:46Colonel Charter has thought you might like to see the speech
00:23:48for tomorrow night, ma'am.
00:23:50Give you a chance to prepare.
00:24:01Oh, dear.
00:24:03Would you bring me a pencil, please?
00:24:06Ma'am?
00:24:07And ask Colonel Charteress
00:24:08if you'd be so kind as to come see me in the morning.
00:24:35Good morning, sir.
00:24:36Good morning, sir.
00:25:01Come in, Martin.
00:25:02You're wrong, Hans.
00:25:04The speech for the ambassador's reception tonight.
00:25:07Yes, ma'am.
00:25:09This was written for my sister.
00:25:10Very well written.
00:25:12Manifesting for her in her register.
00:25:15Reflecting her character, if that's the right word.
00:25:18As we both know, I have a different character.
00:25:21Indeed.
00:25:22And since I shall be deputising for my sister tonight,
00:25:25I was wondering if I might make
00:25:27one or two minor adjustments to the text.
00:25:30Ma'am?
00:25:31Give it a bit more colour.
00:25:33Make it feel a bit more like me.
00:25:36Breathe a little life into it.
00:25:37I'm sure Her All-H highness appreciates him.
00:25:42There will be important people
00:25:45at the reception tonight
00:25:47of different backgrounds,
00:25:50different sensibilities,
00:25:51and speech has been carefully calibrated
00:25:54to avoid giving offence.
00:25:56And I'd suggest to avoid entertaining, too.
00:25:59It's not the sovereign's place to entertain.
00:26:03And I'm not the sovereign.
00:26:04I understand that,
00:26:05but you will be there in her place.
00:26:20What about the state diadem, Tiara?
00:26:22Or the Cambridge lovers, not?
00:26:24Those are her majesties,
00:26:25for state occasions.
00:26:27Her majesty won't mind.
00:26:29Besides,
00:26:30are people not coming tonight
00:26:31expecting to meet a queen?
00:26:34Yes.
00:26:35Shouldn't we be giving them one?
00:26:36No.
00:26:48No.
00:26:50No.
00:27:11Your Excellencies, I'm delighted to be here tonight, deputizing for my sister the Queen,
00:27:19who was fortunate enough to be on her travels, somewhere between Bermuda, Jamaica and Fiji.
00:27:26Distracted, no doubt, by waving fields of sugarcane and graceful palms,
00:27:34by deep blue water beyond white coral sands,
00:27:38by dramatic green hills thick with vegetation and the subtle rhythms of dancing and singing.
00:27:47But more vivid, more brilliant even, than the colours of those lovely islands or the echoes of that music
00:27:56or the welcome of cheerful and friendly people wherever my sister may travel
00:28:01is what I see as I look out from this stage tonight.
00:28:07As I look out at all of you tonight, my, don't you all look wonderful
00:28:15and shimmering when positively exotic?
00:28:20And what fine company we have here tonight?
00:28:23Our ambassador to the United States of America, Sir Roger Makins.
00:28:27The only honest thing to come out of Washington.
00:28:33Our dashing ambassador, Alec Kirkbride, in Libya.
00:28:37Just one single, ladies.
00:28:40Oh, and of course, Sir Charles Peake and his wife from Greece.
00:28:43A country which has brought us many things.
00:28:47Philosophy, democracy.
00:28:49My brother-in-law.
00:28:55So to all of you, I say welcome.
00:28:58As a rule, the food here is pretty ordinary.
00:29:01The wine is usually rather good.
00:29:03And I have made sure there is plenty of it.
00:29:07So I have no doubt we will have a wonderful evening.
00:29:26It felt so good.
00:29:28My sister talks all the time about how she isn't suited to it well.
00:29:32I was born for it.
00:29:34I know.
00:29:36Afterwards, I told them to have as many engagements in the diaries they like for the next few months.
00:29:41Vestitures, rebelles, different balls.
00:29:42Well, why not?
00:29:43Oh, couldn't you come and watch me in action?
00:29:46Just once.
00:29:47If I thought it were without risk, I would in a flash.
00:29:49But if the papers get hold of it...
00:29:50Darling, papers love us.
00:29:53People are for us.
00:29:55Hmm.
00:29:55In their eyes, we can do no wrong.
00:30:02I don't know.
00:30:07The lunch is right.
00:30:10Ready?
00:30:10I know.
00:30:12Almost.
00:30:12You go ahead.
00:30:17Just give me a moment, please, gents.
00:30:19I'll be right with you.
00:30:20Okay.
00:30:27What's the matter?
00:30:32There was an ambassador's reception in London last week.
00:30:35Apparently, Margaret was dazzling and brilliant.
00:30:39Would you have preferred she make a mess of it?
00:30:42No.
00:30:45Perhaps.
00:30:47Is that awful of me?
00:30:49Yes.
00:30:50Well, now you know.
00:30:51You didn't marry a saint.
00:30:52I knew that.
00:30:53Well, I wouldn't worry.
00:30:54I have great faith in her.
00:30:55In Margaret?
00:30:56In her ability to mess things up.
00:30:58In the long run.
00:31:00Or outshine me.
00:31:01And mess things up.
00:31:02And outshine me.
00:31:14That's unlike you.
00:31:17Sorry.
00:31:24You know, there is a danger we might be overdoing it.
00:31:27Perhaps it would be prudent to take a few things out.
00:31:33I mean, 57 Australian towns in 58 days.
00:31:38Maybe we don't visit all of them.
00:31:45No.
00:31:49No.
00:31:51No.
00:31:51We keep every appointment.
00:31:54No cancellations.
00:31:56Not one.
00:32:01I'm afraid the day does hold some challenges, ma'am.
00:32:04The route's ten miles and the street's already packed.
00:32:08How long will it take?
00:32:09I've allowed two hours.
00:32:10Two hours?
00:32:11In a hundred degree heat.
00:32:13I could ask them to increase the plan of driving speed a little, but I think the horses might struggle.
00:32:18No, we'll be fine.
00:32:44Oh.
00:32:48Let's go.
00:33:16At last, amongst us, charming our people in city after city, open-handed Sydney first, then good-hearted Adelaide, on
00:33:31to venerable Hobart, nestling at the cool feet of Mount Wilmington.
00:33:40That's it, the castle of May.
00:33:42Nope. Isn't she bonnie?
00:33:48Oh, yes.
00:33:53And what a view.
00:34:08What a view.
00:34:26Captain Imbert Terry, Commander Viner, Lady Doris, and, uh, we've met.
00:34:38I don't think so.
00:34:39Yes, yes, yes, it's your, your, your face, it's, uh, it's very familiar.
00:34:47Don't say a thing, it'll come to me.
00:34:48Uh, may we come in?
00:34:51Yes, yes.
00:34:56Well, if you were to be interested in, uh, property, I've got to be entirely honest.
00:35:01The, uh, the roof does need a, does need a bit of work.
00:35:08And one or two windows might need replacing, and the, uh, the electricity does need, well, installing.
00:35:15And there's no dining room to speak of.
00:35:17No, no bathrooms, and I sold off most of the good shooting and fishing.
00:35:23Oh dear, you're really not a salesman.
00:35:25In fact, the place is in such a state, I'd sooner make a gift of it.
00:35:30I'm afraid I'd be quite unable to accept.
00:35:33Why not?
00:35:35It'd be frowned upon, it's something to do with who I am.
00:35:39You're an actress, a famous film star.
00:35:44No.
00:35:44A singer, then?
00:35:46No.
00:35:47It's on the tip of my tongue.
00:35:54It, um, dates back to the, uh, to the mid-17th century.
00:36:00It was in the, uh, it was in the same family for 14 generations.
00:36:04We bought a place in 1959, my wife and I had been living for very happy years here with her.
00:36:11All came and faced.
00:36:16The solution is, is always stopped smiling.
00:36:21No, the trouble is I have the sort of face that if I'm not smiling, then everyone says, oh, isn't
00:36:27she cross?
00:36:28No, that's not.
00:36:29What, what do you think, doctor?
00:36:32It's a spasm.
00:36:33The muscles are overworked.
00:36:36Rest ought to fix it, though.
00:36:37Like I said, stop smiling.
00:36:39No.
00:36:40I have an engagement this evening, so what can be done?
00:36:44Well, I could inject the affected area with a relaxant.
00:36:48You'd have to watch yourself with soup, though.
00:36:51You might find you have less control chewing and drinking, and it's not a long-term solution.
00:36:57Oh.
00:36:58All right.
00:36:59I'll have the injection.
00:37:00Good God, what, and dribble soup all over your dress?
00:37:04Do you know, the other night, I woke up with my right arm out from under the bedclothes.
00:37:10Do you know what I've been doing?
00:37:11I'd been waving to the crowds in my sleep.
00:37:16All right.
00:37:21Hold still, please, Your Majesty.
00:37:36American planes, guns, and ammunition are helping the French and Vietnam forces.
00:37:41Russian and Chinese weapons are aiding the Vietnam.
00:37:48Princess Margaret dons white overalls when she visits Calvert and Colliery in Nottinghamshire.
00:37:52A visit to the Coalface, a quarter of a mile underground, is included in her tour of the colliery,
00:37:58which is recognized as one of the most modern in Europe.
00:38:01After almost an hour underground, the Princess brings back a souvenir, a piece of coal she
00:38:06hewed herself.
00:38:07Did you enjoy the mining, Your Royal Miners?
00:38:10I did, very much.
00:38:12Although it's jolly dusty down there.
00:38:14Some even went into my mouth, but I can assure you, it tastes delicious.
00:38:18I've experienced the conditions.
00:38:20Do you have sympathy for the miners that worked there?
00:38:22One could fail to have sympathy for anyone who has to spend their working life down there.
00:38:27It's intolerably dark and hot and cramped.
00:38:31To my eyes, it seems the conditions are still very perilous for these poor, brave men
00:38:35who work underground for so very little.
00:38:38And what would you say to the authorities regarding the matter?
00:38:42Ah, no, I have nothing further to say.
00:38:45Who's the goal for?
00:38:50I have someone very special of mine.
00:38:54Group Captain Townsend?
00:38:58Are you missing him?
00:39:01Yes, I am.
00:39:02Very much.
00:39:04And are you missing your sister, Her Majesty the Queen?
00:39:09Not quite as much, no.
00:39:22Why not, did you say that?
00:39:24What?
00:39:24That you missed me.
00:39:25I did.
00:39:26I do.
00:39:27I know, but that wasn't wise.
00:39:29Why not?
00:39:32Darling, you can't use a public occasion to take a dig at your sister like that.
00:39:39Wouldn't you start, too?
00:39:41It's just, the palace won't like it.
00:39:44And we need the palace on our side.
00:39:49Who is it you think you'll be letting down anyway?
00:39:51A koala?
00:39:53This whole thing is a circus.
00:39:55It's a miserable circus.
00:39:59Trudging from town to town.
00:40:00You know, the dancing bears.
00:40:07What are you doing?
00:40:08No, I'm taking back this small pleasure.
00:40:10You've taken away too much.
00:40:11No, no, no.
00:40:12Go see for Kendall.
00:40:15Yeah.
00:40:16Forty a day your father smoked, and now I know why.
00:40:18Poor bastard.
00:40:19You know, you probably took one look at this tour and thought,
00:40:21do you know what?
00:40:22I'll be better off with cancer.
00:40:24Shut up.
00:40:28What is it you're trying to prove?
00:40:30What is it you want to hear him say?
00:40:34Bravo, Lilibet.
00:40:36Manage the whole tour.
00:40:38Lilibet never lets you down.
00:40:40Ticked every box.
00:40:43Never put a foot wrong.
00:40:45Now, finally, I love you more than I love Margaret.
00:40:49Get out!
00:40:50Get out!
00:40:51Get out!
00:40:52Trust me, Pauline.
00:40:53Trust me.
00:40:56Don't you dare!
00:40:57I'm back here!
00:40:58Christ!
00:41:35Let me go and have a word.
00:41:38No.
00:41:43I'll do it.
00:41:44I'll do it.
00:41:52I'm sorry for that little interlude.
00:41:57Although I'm sure it must happen in every marriage.
00:42:02Now, what would you like me to do?
00:42:05For your newsreel.
00:42:29Another gift for your majesty.
00:42:37Now, your royal highness,
00:42:40when you appear in public,
00:42:42performing official duties,
00:42:45you are not you.
00:42:46Of course I am me.
00:42:47Expressing political opinions
00:42:49about working conditions in mines,
00:42:52that business at Sadler's Wells.
00:42:55And no one wants you to be you.
00:42:57They want you to be it.
00:42:58A statue.
00:43:00A thing.
00:43:01The crown.
00:43:02That's what they've come to see.
00:43:03Not you.
00:43:05The minute you become yourself,
00:43:07you shatter the illusion.
00:43:09Break the spell.
00:43:10What people want
00:43:12is someone to inhabit it.
00:43:15Not be frightened of it.
00:43:16Make it flesh and blood.
00:43:18Bring it to life.
00:43:19Sure, uncle.
00:43:20Edward VIII.
00:43:21Threatened to do just that.
00:43:23Impose his individuality
00:43:25on the institution.
00:43:27Bring it to life.
00:43:28And he almost destroyed it
00:43:30in the process.
00:43:31You can't seriously be comparing
00:43:33this to the abdication.
00:43:34No.
00:43:35But I have decided
00:43:36that all remaining royal engagements
00:43:39in the Queen's absence
00:43:40should be carried out
00:43:41by the Queen Mother.
00:43:44My mother is in Scotland.
00:43:46So I gather.
00:43:47But I've sent someone
00:43:48to bring her back.
00:43:51Right away.
00:43:54Your Royal Highness.
00:44:02We said 11.
00:44:03What time is it now?
00:44:05Well, it's nearly noon.
00:44:07Oh, Miss.
00:44:08And I sat off
00:44:09in such good time.
00:44:11Did you come along the coast?
00:44:13I did.
00:44:14You didn't factor
00:44:15in the wind.
00:44:17You were into the wind
00:44:19this morning.
00:44:20Wasn't I just?
00:44:21Good news is
00:44:22you'll fly back.
00:44:23Yeah.
00:44:25Now.
00:44:31I've had a chance
00:44:33to do some thinking.
00:44:35I've spoken to my lawyers
00:44:37and I've come up with a sum
00:44:38that I think is a fair price
00:44:41for this magnificently situated castle.
00:44:44Yes, yes.
00:44:45Go on.
00:44:47Brace yourself.
00:44:49One hundred pounds.
00:44:53What?
00:44:54Oh, I'm sorry.
00:44:55Is that too dear?
00:44:58No, it's absurd.
00:45:00On the contrary,
00:45:00it's entirely fair,
00:45:01given it'll end up
00:45:02costing you tens of thousands.
00:45:04Are you sure?
00:45:06No.
00:45:06The question is,
00:45:07are you sure?
00:45:15I am.
00:45:16All right.
00:45:18Congratulations.
00:45:19I hope you'll be
00:45:20very happy here.
00:45:23I have a feeling
00:45:23I will be.
00:45:24I can get the place
00:45:25cleared out
00:45:26inside a week.
00:45:27Only if you've
00:45:28somewhere to go.
00:45:29I do.
00:45:30My sister's
00:45:31a few miles
00:45:32down the coast.
00:45:33Now,
00:45:33will I walk you
00:45:34back to the Viners
00:45:35downwind?
00:45:37That'd be lovely.
00:45:54Your Majesty.
00:45:56Forgive me
00:45:57for disturbing you.
00:45:58I come from
00:46:00the Prime Minister.
00:46:02He asks that you
00:46:03return to London
00:46:04immediately.
00:46:05Whatever for?
00:46:06This is all the
00:46:07information that I have.
00:46:12It seems I must go.
00:46:16Oh, my God.
00:46:20It's finally come to you.
00:46:23Why on earth
00:46:24didn't you say?
00:46:26Mum?
00:46:27Because people
00:46:28always make such a fuss.
00:46:31And stop being
00:46:33themselves.
00:46:35And you'd have
00:46:36doubled the price.
00:46:39Spoken like a true
00:46:40Scotswoman.
00:46:41All right.
00:47:07Come in,
00:47:08I'm going to dua.
00:47:08No, you're można.
00:47:08No no, you're not
00:47:08I can't wait one another.
00:47:11I know, you're not
00:47:12Now, my speech at the letter, there was one adjustment that I would like to make.
00:47:18I would like to refer to Malta as my island of happy memories.
00:47:26Very good, then.
00:47:28I can have the text retyped for your approval.
00:47:37Now, there do remain some security concerns.
00:47:41What about Gibraltar?
00:47:42What concerns?
00:47:45Death threats are sent to all the leaders of the major political parties,
00:47:49telling them that if our tour were to go to Gibraltar, our safety can't be guaranteed.
00:47:56I told them we should pull out.
00:47:59Why?
00:48:00Do you mean why?
00:48:01Because I don't much fancy shuffling the streets of Gibraltar like a sitting duck.
00:48:07No.
00:48:09Pulling out at this late hour will make us look weak.
00:48:12And it would be a great disappointment to the people of Gibraltar.
00:48:15I say we go.
00:48:16I say we don't.
00:48:24I am aware that I'm surrounded by people who feel that they could do the job better.
00:48:32Strong people with powerful characters.
00:48:36More natural leaders, perhaps better suited to leading from the front, making a mark.
00:48:41But for better or worse, the crown has landed on my head.
00:48:45And I say we go.
00:48:55The Royal Yacht Britannia sails towards Gibraltar.
00:48:59Visible on deck, Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
00:49:03Accompanying, Britannia, 15 A-class destroyers from the Mediterranean Sea.
00:49:12A powerful signal to the people of Gibraltar of the Queen and the British Empire's enduring support.
00:49:43The Royal Yacht Britannia is a woman of death.
00:49:51A return to London after 50,000 miles by air, land and sea is a triumph of diplomacy at
00:49:59a challenging time for the Empire.
00:50:02Not a single item of the enormous list of engagements has been missed.
00:50:09Millions have seen and eaten their queen as she leaves the Commonwealth charmed and
00:50:14united.
00:50:18It is already clear that Her Majesty will occupy a place among the famous queens of history
00:50:25and promises a renewed role for Britain in the modern world.
00:50:30The Empire secure across the four corners of the earth, marking the start of a new Elizabethan age.
00:50:44.
00:50:49.
00:50:50Hello.
00:50:52.
00:50:54.
00:50:55.
00:50:55.
00:50:55.
00:50:56Ah-ha! Yes!
00:51:02Now, the Prime Minister's arrived.
00:51:07No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:51:12You can't get away from me!
00:51:16The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
00:51:21Congratulations, Your Majesty.
00:51:23Thank you, Wester.
00:51:23An unqualified tribe.
00:51:26Well, and their escape, I see.
00:51:27It could so easily have gone the other way.
00:51:28Well, but it didn't.
00:51:30And has put us right back where we belong.
00:51:33Higher, in fact.
00:51:35And before the tour,
00:51:37our great nation was in danger of losing much of its status.
00:51:42Our influence, our standing.
00:51:45Your courage and conviction prevailed.
00:51:50This time, perhaps.
00:51:51But in time, they will surely grow tired of it.
00:51:55Grow tired of us.
00:51:56Only if the Crown,
00:51:58and the people representing the Crown,
00:52:02make mistakes, errors of judgment.
00:52:05My dear sister.
00:52:07Yes.
00:52:09What would you have me do?
00:52:21Thank you, ma'am.
00:52:22Your Majesty.
00:52:23Her Royal Highness is on her way.
00:52:27I'll give that to you, my dear.
00:52:28It's all right.
00:52:29I have been here before.
00:52:32Do you know the way?
00:52:45What in there?
00:52:46Yes, ma'am.
00:53:09Goodness.
00:53:23What have I done to deserve this?
00:53:25The brief was simple.
00:53:28Perform minor ceremonial tasks with a minimum of fuss.
00:53:33Not end up all over the newspapers.
00:53:35I can't help it if they want to write about me.
00:53:38Well, it would help if you didn't give them what they crave.
00:53:41Character and excitement.
00:53:43Kin stability and drama.
00:53:44Well, at least I give them something.
00:53:46You give them nothing.
00:53:47I give them silence.
00:53:49Silence is nothing.
00:53:51It's the absence of noise.
00:53:53Emptiness.
00:53:54Blank page.
00:53:55Which allows others to shine.
00:53:57But the monarchy should shine.
00:53:58The monarchy, yes.
00:54:00Not the monarch.
00:54:03Reparations will need to be made.
00:54:06To whom?
00:54:08To the people you offended.
00:54:11A general to whom, when asked if you'd like to dance, you replied,
00:54:15yes, but not with you.
00:54:17I believe there was also a debutante who you managed to make cry,
00:54:20and the dancers of Sadler's Wells,
00:54:22whom you refused to meet after arriving late for the performance.
00:54:25You showed individuality.
00:54:29And that made people panic.
00:54:31They don't want individuality.
00:54:34The last person who showed character almost took the ship down.
00:54:40You are enjoying this.
00:54:43Not a bit.
00:54:44Yes, you are.
00:54:49Admonishing your unruly young sister.
00:54:55Have you ever thought how it must be for me?
00:54:57Many times.
00:54:58At great length.
00:55:00Wistfully.
00:55:00You have a role.
00:55:02A clear set of rules.
00:55:04All you have to do is follow them.
00:55:06Margaret, you have freedom.
00:55:07All you have to do is enjoy it.
00:55:09You think that I am free?
00:55:11To be constantly in your shadow?
00:55:13Constantly the overlooked one?
00:55:15It looks like heaven to me.
00:55:16What you have looks like heaven to me.
00:55:26Two sisters who envy one another.
00:55:30You wouldn't be the first.
00:55:38Pride and joy.
00:55:42Remember what Papa called us?
00:55:45Yes.
00:55:46Yes.
00:55:48Elizabeth is my pride.
00:55:50And Margaret is my joy.
00:55:53But Margaret is my joy.
00:55:58I'm sorry.
00:55:59I have to claim the few victories I'm left with.
00:56:03And we're not disputing it surely.
00:56:07What?
00:56:08That I was Papa's favourite.
00:56:17It's a cruel truth to it, isn't it?
00:56:21There are two sisters so close in age that the more one becomes one thing, the more the other necessarily
00:56:28becomes the opposite.
00:56:30But vice versa, it's the way of things.
00:56:34If one is the queen, it must be the source of honour and all that is good.
00:56:38The other necessarily becomes the focus of the most creative malice.
00:56:47Evil sister.
00:56:49No one says you're evil.
00:56:51Next to you will always be evil.
00:56:55Fictus.
00:56:57Lost.
00:57:00Lesser thing.
00:57:06And yet you spend so much time telling me that I'm a lesser thing.
00:57:12Only to give myself a moment's peace.
00:57:26Would you consider doing it for me?
00:57:28Just from time to time?
00:57:31What?
00:57:31Putting a foot wrong.
00:57:33The occasional mistake.
00:57:36Let the side down.
00:57:38So I might not be so conspicuous a failure by comparison.
00:57:41You're tired.
00:57:43No, I'm not.
00:57:44Not tired.
00:57:48I'm just asking for a future I can bear.
00:57:59Margaret.
00:58:05Do I have your word that those apologies will be made?
00:58:13We can help you draft letters or make statements.
00:58:20No need.
00:58:23No need.
00:58:45No.
00:58:53No.
00:59:07No.
00:59:08No.
00:59:09No.
00:59:09No.
00:59:09No.
00:59:10No.
