00:01:02Half a million people
00:01:06At a racecourse
00:01:11Next to the coronation, your sister
00:01:14Is now the most famous woman in the world
00:01:18Yes
00:01:23I'm the luckiest
00:01:27Not on our romantic trip to Reducia
00:01:30Official duty to Reducia
00:01:32With the man I love
00:01:34Secretly love
00:01:36I will be the happiest
00:01:52I've got a story, Chief
00:01:54It's important
00:01:55As long as it's not about the royal family
00:01:57Bill, I'm all ears
00:01:58It is about the royal family, Chief
00:01:59Oh, let me guess
00:02:01Our thanks to one beautiful young woman
00:02:03One short televised ceremony
00:02:06Oh, thank you, Bob
00:02:07A tired, anachronistic institution
00:02:10Is rejuvenated
00:02:11A nation is liberated
00:02:13From the austerity of rationing and war
00:02:15Our place as a leading power in the world
00:02:18Is re-established just when it seemed to be slipping
00:02:20What a load of bollocks
00:02:21Snifter?
00:02:23I shouldn't
00:02:23Oh, go on
00:02:24It's nearly lunchtime
00:02:25Papers, sir
00:02:26Thanks, Mary
00:02:27My job
00:02:28It's Princess Margaret
00:02:29What about her?
00:02:31Leaving the abbey on the day of the coronation
00:02:33I saw her picking a piece of fluff off a man's uniform
00:02:36Fluff?
00:02:38Yes, fluff
00:02:39Jesus, Bill
00:02:39I thought we did serious reporting here
00:02:41This is serious
00:02:42Because the man in question
00:02:44Her father's former query group captain Peter Townsend
00:02:48Is a commoner
00:02:49And, wait for it
00:02:51A divorced commoner
00:02:54Historically
00:02:55When this lot brush up against divorce
00:02:57You end up with either reformation or abdication
00:02:59Will church and state clash again?
00:03:02It's a big story
00:03:03So are comet jet planes dropping out of the sky
00:03:06Stalin's death ushering in a power reshuffle in the Soviet Union
00:03:10Then write it up, Chief
00:03:12I've got a feeling about this one
00:03:13Based on what?
00:03:19What are you doing, man?
00:03:20Picking fluff off a man's jacket
00:03:23That's a gesture as intimate as a kiss
00:03:26More intimate
00:03:26Since it suggests the kiss has already happened
00:03:31No, I'm sorry, Bill
00:03:32I can't hold the front page for a bit of fluff
00:03:34Let me write it, Chief
00:03:36Then you decide
00:03:44Make sure it's peppery
00:03:46Make sure it pops
00:03:47Yes, sir
00:03:48No, I don't know
00:03:49No, I'm sorry from the sky
00:04:18Yes, sir
00:05:18Good morning, Your Royal Highness.
00:05:19Good morning.
00:05:20I would like to speak to my sister, please.

00:05:46You hold the line.
00:05:48Sir.
00:05:49Morning.
00:05:49Princess Margaret for Her Majesty.
00:06:17Hello.
00:06:18I have the Royal Highness the Princess Margaret for Her Majesty.
00:06:22Yes, sir.
00:06:23Breakfast room.
00:06:24Breakfast room.
00:06:25Yes, sir.
00:06:31Telephone call for you, ma'am.
00:06:34Yes?
00:06:43Hello, you.
00:06:44Hello, you.
00:06:47Sir, I was wondering if you had a free evening soon where we all might have dinner together.
00:06:50Before I go to Rhodesia.
00:06:52I'm sure I do.
00:06:54Thursday?
00:06:55Mummy's out.
00:06:56I'd have to check.
00:06:58Lovely.
00:06:59And who's us all?
00:07:02Well, you and me and Philip and, um, and I would like to bring Peter, if I may.
00:07:09What, Peter, Peter?
00:07:11Yes, Peter.
00:07:13Oh.
00:07:14Well, does that mean, oh?
00:07:16Nothing.
00:07:17Oh, how nice.
00:07:19Is there something we'd like to discuss with you?
00:07:22Eh?
00:07:24There you go again.
00:07:25Sorry.
00:07:26Am I going to be given a clue?
00:07:29No.
00:07:31Oh.
00:07:32Stop it.
00:07:33Sorry.
00:07:35So, Thursday evening then, you'll check.
00:07:37Fine.
00:07:43It'll be such fun.
00:07:46Lovely.
00:08:04Yeah.
00:08:07Here we are.
00:08:09Awesome.
00:08:12Lovely.
00:08:14Yes, sir.
00:08:18Special Alumni meatraphic fan.
00:08:27What's your name?
00:08:33Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you.
00:08:35Thank you very much, gentlemen.
00:08:40A special guest joins us this afternoon
00:08:43who's just returned from a year in post-revolutionary Cairo
00:08:47working as a photojournalist.
00:08:49Our fellow Lunch Club member, Tony Long.
00:08:52Oh, my God!
00:08:56Thank you, chaps. It's very nice to be back, I must say.
00:08:59Ladies, might we close the shutters?
00:09:01Ooh!
00:09:04Lovely.
00:09:08I am, as Baron says, fresh from the streets of Cairo,
00:09:13and I'm still trying to digest the hurricane
00:09:15of popular uprising, violent military coup and revolution
00:09:20that I've just witnessed.
00:09:21Bloody native.
00:09:22You all know King Farouk.
00:09:25Colourful character.
00:09:26He owned more than 100 cars.
00:09:29Almost as much as me.
00:09:31Had them all painted red.
00:09:33Splendid.
00:09:33He used to race them through the streets of Cairo,
00:09:36shooting at any pedestrians who happened to get in his way.
00:09:39Yeah!
00:09:40Present shoot!
00:09:43Probably why he was forced to abdicate last year.
00:09:47And now this man, Nasser, is the name on everyone's lips.
00:09:53He has the charisma to unite not just his own country,
00:09:56but the entire Arab world,
00:09:58stirring up anti-Western, anti-monarchical sentiments.
00:10:07This is Shepard's.
00:10:10A famous British hotel.
00:10:12A symbol of colonial rule.
00:10:15Before riots.
00:10:19And after.
00:10:22That writing, what does it say?
00:10:29Death to the imperialists.
00:10:35However, it's not all doom and gloom.
00:10:38Mike, I've got something a little special for you here.
00:10:40Ah, yeah!
00:10:42That's exactly what I'm talking about!

00:13:54and away from his own so much
00:13:58friendship has developed between us

00:14:11and more occupied
00:14:14peter's become almost my sole companion
00:14:17and i his
00:14:21and um so when his divorce came through in uh december last year i suppose it was only natural that

00:17:15i don't like it
00:17:17any of it
00:17:18for one thing
00:17:18it will create the most enormous scandal
00:17:20nor do i believe in them as a couple
00:17:22he's too old for her
00:17:24and he had some sort of breakdown during the war
00:17:27now that's all in the past
00:17:29besides that's why he got on with my father so well
00:17:31not to mention the fact he's dull
00:17:34he's not dull
00:17:35desperately dull
00:17:36i'm confident i've met more interesting plants
00:17:40not to mention it's a terrible thing to do to you
00:17:43why
00:17:44because of the position it puts you in as a
00:17:47as a sister
00:17:47and as a queen
00:17:49has everyone forgotten the catastrophe that was your uncle already
00:17:52oh
00:17:53the situation's different
00:17:55one party divorced
00:17:57the other royal
00:18:00sounds pretty similar to me
00:18:01that was 17 years ago
00:18:03the world has changed
00:18:05the rest of the world has
00:18:07nothing changes in the court of st james
00:18:10besides
00:18:11we have a son and heir
00:18:13there's no realistic prospect of margaret becoming queen
00:18:19one can see the attraction
00:18:24in peter
00:18:26yes
00:18:28he's a handsome war hero
00:18:31divorced war hero
00:18:32and blameless in that divorce
00:18:35no no no there's no such thing as the blameless party in a divorce
00:18:39his wife had an affair with another man
00:18:42because he was always around here sniffing around your sister
00:18:45he was looking after my father
00:18:47and sniffing around your sister
00:18:53I thought you liked him
00:18:55oh

00:18:57I mean
00:18:57I respect him for what he did in the war certainly

00:19:02and he's a good pilot
00:19:05and he's a good influence on margaret
00:19:07is he
00:19:08if he were really a good influence
00:19:09he'd patch things up with his wife
00:19:11and leave margaret well alone
00:19:28good night bill
00:19:31good night
00:19:57nice man
00:19:58yeah
00:19:59this had better be good
00:20:02It is.
00:20:07Bloody hell.
00:20:08You did say pepper, E.
00:20:10Pepper's one thing.
00:20:12This is jelly night.
00:20:13I know.
00:20:22What are you doing?
00:20:23I can't run this without going upstairs.
00:20:25What?
00:20:26Don't look at me like that.
00:20:27Live in the real bloody world for a moment, will you?
00:20:32Marjorie, hello.
00:20:33Yes.
00:20:34Is he there?
00:20:35Yeah, just for a few minutes.
00:20:40This is not just inflammatory.
00:20:43It breaks all the rules.
00:20:44What rules, sir?
00:20:45The unspoken rules of deference and respect
00:20:49shown by the media to the royal family.
00:20:51But surely those rules changed
00:20:53the moment they invited television into the coronation.
00:20:56That was their right.
00:20:57And a huge concession.
00:20:58To what?
00:20:59Popular interests.
00:21:01Their interests also.
00:21:03Look at their standing now.
00:21:04It's never been higher.
00:21:05The question we in the fourth estate
00:21:07need to be asking ourselves is,
00:21:09do we let ourselves be used
00:21:11or do we have our own independent voice?
00:21:13Don't get moralistic with me.
00:21:15If we don't break this story,
00:21:17do you think nobody else will?
00:21:19I know there's plenty of others sniffing around it, sir.
00:21:29Well, thank you for letting me know.
00:21:31Of course, Tommy.
00:21:33Thank you for understanding.
00:21:35I'm sorry.
00:21:36No, I'm sorry.
00:21:38I imagine it must be difficult being dictated to like that by an employee.
00:21:42I wasn't dictated to.
00:21:44Am I missing something?
00:21:45You said this editor was telling you
00:21:47what he was going to print in your newspaper.
00:21:49He is?
00:21:50But I can't keep telling him what to write.
00:21:53I thought that was the point of owning a newspaper.
00:21:56Look, I'm just trying to help you, Tommy.
00:21:58I suggest you see this for the kind gesture that it is.
00:22:02What, that you're about to print an article
00:22:04that will cause deep distress to senior,
00:22:07let's be quite clear,
00:22:08the most senior members of the royal family?
00:22:11That I'm warning you,
00:22:12that I'm giving you the heads up?
00:22:15I'm on my knees with gratitude.
00:22:42I'm on my knees with gratitude.
00:22:58I'm on my knees with gratitude.
00:23:06Come on.
00:23:13You suck that.
00:23:38Your Majesty, a story is about to break in the press.
00:23:44Identifying Peter Townsend, not just as the companion of Princess Margaret,
00:23:52but as her likely future husband.
00:23:57We understand that the paper is to feature a profile of Group Captain Townsend,
00:24:04details of his marriage and subsequent divorce,
00:24:08along with an editorial about other notable divorcees
00:24:14to have been associated with members of the royal family.
00:24:26Should we deny it all?
00:24:31With respect, ma'am, it's a little late for that.
00:24:34This horse has already bolted.
00:24:45Royal Highness.
00:25:00Her Majesty the Queen for you, your Royal Highness.
00:25:03On the telephone.
00:25:11Hello.
00:25:12Hello, you. Bad time, good time?
00:25:14Mm-hmm. Good time. Always.
00:25:19Look, I've been racking my brain about how I can best help you.
00:25:22Now, you know that the Church of England doesn't permit the remarriage of divorced persons
00:25:26if the husband or wife of the former marriage is still alive.
00:25:30Yes.
00:25:30Well, I was just wondering if you and Peter had considered Scotland.
00:25:34To live?
00:25:36No, for the wedding.
00:25:38Why?
00:25:39Because it would be more low profile.
00:25:41Well, actually, I was thinking of legal reasons.
00:25:44Marriage isn't regarded as a sacrament in the Church of Scotland.
00:25:47It's not as binding in the same way as here.
00:25:52Meaning?
00:25:53Meaning we could even get married in a church?
00:25:55Well, I'd have to check, but I think so.
00:25:59That would be so lovely.
00:26:02Lilibet, thank you so much.
00:26:06Made my life a lot easier, too.
00:26:12Sorry, Lilibet.
00:26:14What for?
00:26:16I think you're going to get a visit from Mummy about all this.
00:26:19Oh.
00:26:21I realise I'm not making anyone's life easy.
00:26:25Yours especially.
00:26:28But I'm determined to do this for you.
00:26:31To give you what you want.
00:26:37Can't wait to tell Peter.
00:26:39Let her go.
00:26:55Help me.
00:26:56Come on, you steve.
00:27:18Mummy, this is a surprise.
00:27:25Mummy, this is a surprise.
00:27:29It's a surprise.
00:27:30It seems that they each have problems of equal size.
00:27:36Obviously, we want Margaret to be happy and have the man she wants.
00:27:40Yes.
00:27:40But we must do everything in our power to protect you as queen and as a sister.
00:27:49You protect me from what?
00:27:51I've given Margaret my word and I'm determined to support her.
00:27:55They can marry in Scotland, where I'm not head of the church.
00:27:59But, your majesty, I fear the matter is more intricate.
00:28:04Let's be quite clear.
00:28:05If Margaret were to marry Peter, it would be a scandal.
00:28:09You don't mistake your current popularity for long-term security.
00:28:16Your uncle's affair and abdication almost destroyed the monarch.
00:28:20This good, too.
00:28:25Tommy.
00:28:33Ma'am, what do you know about the Royal Marriages Act of 1772?
00:28:38George II.
00:28:39Third, ma'am.
00:28:40He had two younger brothers, William and Henry.
00:28:44Both of whom, I'm assuming, made undesirable marriages.
00:28:47One to an illegitimate shrew, the other to a disreputable jade,
00:28:52which caused an outrage in Parliament and the church.
00:28:55Now, in response, George III asked his prime minister, Lord North,
00:28:59to rush through a Royal Marriages Act
00:29:02to prevent any future willful young prince or princess
00:29:06from making an ill-advised or disadvantageous match
00:29:10which might threaten the integrity of the Royal House.
00:29:13It decrees that until the age of 25,
00:29:16any member of the Royal Family
00:29:17must secure the sovereign's permission to marry.
00:29:25But?
00:29:26But not thereafter.
00:29:30I see.
00:29:31So, if Margaret would wait until after her 25th birthday,
00:29:37she would be free to make any decision she likes
00:29:39without your consent.
00:29:42The important thing is
00:29:43it protects your relationship
00:29:45with both church and government.
00:29:51Well, I can see the advantages of that,
00:29:53but what's in it for her?
00:29:56Mummy, she's only 23.
00:29:58What does she do in the meantime?
00:30:01In the meantime, she and Peter wait.
00:30:06Preferably in separate countries.
00:30:09What?
00:30:11It's the only way to contain the story, ma'am.
00:30:28Thank you, sir.
00:30:36What's wrong?
00:30:45Out of my way.
00:30:59Um.
00:31:19Margaret!
00:31:20No!
00:31:25Margaret!
00:31:30just until your 25th birthday then you'd be free to do as you wish look with the eye and tell
00:31:36me
00:31:37is it a posting or is it a banishment it's a posting i promise it's just a way of managing
00:31:45the story keeping it off the front pages the heartless attempt to split us up no of course not
00:31:52a part of the same for philip and me he made us wait a few months this is for two
00:31:56years
00:32:07why did you even dangle scotland under my nose
00:32:15sorry
00:32:38all right
00:32:45if i do this for you will you promise me that this banishment
00:32:51this banishment won't start until after our trip to adesia you know how much we've been looking
00:32:54forward to it
00:33:01you're going to deny that as well
00:33:04it's a sensitivity of you two together
00:33:07photographers who would overshadow everything but when you get back you'll have some time
00:33:15together alone i promise you that
00:33:23so
00:33:24I don't know.
00:34:00They offered me Johannesburg.
00:34:02I refused.
00:34:03Then Singapore.
00:34:07I refused that, too.
00:34:11Then they came back with Brussels.
00:34:15It's dreary, but at least it's close.
00:34:17The whole thing feels like a completely unnecessary, unjustifiable punishment.
00:34:23I know.
00:34:25Perhaps your sister sensed that.
00:34:29That is why she's asked me to go to Norman Island.
00:34:32What for?
00:34:34To accompany her on a trip to Belfast this week.
00:34:36To put on a show of public approval.
00:34:41That's something, I suppose.
00:34:43Hmm.
00:34:45No substitute for a doozy, though.
00:34:53No one wanted Philip.
00:34:58She dug her heels in.
00:35:00Got the man she wanted, didn't she?
00:35:04She did.
00:35:11We ought to head back.
00:35:15Come on.
00:35:15No, wait.
00:35:17Kiss me.
00:35:29You know we'll be able to get back at the house.
00:35:30Let's go.
00:36:03Your Majesty.
00:36:06Tommy.
00:36:06Just to run through the order of the day.
00:36:09Yes.
00:36:10We'll be met at the airport by the Governor of Northern Ireland, Lord Wakehurst.
00:36:15From there, we'll be going to the Belfast City Boundary to be met by the Lieutenant of the City of
00:36:20Belfast.
00:36:21After that, we'll be presented to the Lord Mayor, Alderman Percival Brown, and the Town Clerk, Mr. John Dunlop.
00:36:30Followed by a city luncheon at a civic hall.
00:36:33The other way around, I think.
00:36:37Ma'am?
00:36:39A civic luncheon at City Hall.
00:36:46Forgive me.
00:36:48Is everything all right?
00:36:52I do hope it wasn't a mistake inviting the group captain to join us.
00:36:59You've never cared for him, Tommy.
00:37:01No, I cared for him as long as he did his job and knew his place.
00:37:06Thank you very much.
00:37:07My father held him in high regard.
00:37:09He's a member of staff, not as a member of the family.
00:37:14He's been a good friend to us all.
00:37:17Too good, I would argue.
00:37:18And he let his wife go in the process.
00:37:22He was innocent in that regard.
00:37:25She left of her own accord, and he's a wonderful father to those boys.
00:37:29I'm just trying to manage a difficult situation now.
00:37:33As am I.
00:37:35Sending him away will break my sister's heart.
00:37:38Hearts mend.
00:37:43Was there anything else?
00:37:46No.
00:37:48Interesting.
00:39:49Certainly seem as interested in group Captain Townsend, as in Her Majesty.
00:39:57Turn it off.
00:39:59Certainly.
00:40:09I brought him along to show my gratitude for his years of service, and to support my sister.
00:40:14And I had hoped the detention of Margaret and Peter would fade away.
00:40:19But I could barely hear myself speak today.
00:40:22The solution is an obvious one.
00:40:25Which is?
00:40:26Bring forward the group Captain's relocation with immediate effect.
00:40:31But that would mean him missing his reunion with my sister in London.
00:40:35And I gave her my word.
00:40:37Well, sometimes best intentions need to be reconsidered, Your Majesty.
00:40:42You can always blame it on me.
00:40:46No.
00:40:48Let's do it ten to four hours.
00:40:50Things might calm down tomorrow.
00:40:53The Lamberg drummers, ma'am.
00:40:56A special Orangeman's welcome.
00:40:57Your Majesty.
00:40:59Your Majesty.
00:41:00Me?
00:41:48May God give you wisdom, loyalty, and faithfulness.
00:41:56And may the future bring peace, contentment, and true happiness to the people of Northern Ireland.
00:42:56Do you have a moment, Lilith?
00:43:02Yes, of course.
00:43:08I just wanted to apologize for all the press' attention.
00:43:13And to thank you for inviting me along in the first place.
00:43:17I do appreciate the gesture.
00:43:20That's the least I could do.
00:43:22I regretted having to take you off the Redesia trip.
00:43:25Yes, Margaret and I were so looking forward to it.
00:43:27We have so many shared interests, as you know.
00:43:29We enjoy doing everything together.
00:43:36We had hoped to find some time together during our days off.
00:43:41Walking, swimming, riding.
00:43:46But not to be.
00:43:52No.
00:43:59Anyway, nice chatting.
00:44:08Ma'am, if you wouldn't mind.
00:44:15Just wondering if Her Majesty has had a time to think about the matter.
00:44:22She has.
00:44:26Take care of it, Tommy.
00:44:28And whatever manner you see, Fitch.
00:44:32Yes, ma'am.
00:44:47Good.
00:45:00You're welcome.
00:45:02There's no brain that was all over here.
00:45:03One of us has been watching.
00:45:08Thank you so much, Peter.
00:45:50Group Captain Townsend, the man of the moment.
00:46:01Do come up.
00:46:12Will you sit?
00:46:49I'm sure that as a military man, hacking quickly and unsentimentally would come a second nature to you.
00:46:59But that isn't what was agreed.
00:47:30The agreements have or have not been made within the family.
00:47:33What I can tell you is the position of heir attache at the embassy fell vacant unexpectedly early and needs
00:47:39filling right away.
00:47:41Of course, a crucial position like the heir attache to the embassy at Brussels cannot be left vacant for very
00:47:49long.
00:47:50I ask only that it remains so until after the princess returns, as I was promised.
00:48:01I'm afraid that will not be possible.
00:48:19Tommy, I understand you are only trying to do your job.
00:48:23But one thing the trip to Northern Ireland has made very clear to me is that the romance between Margaret
00:48:29and myself has caught the public eye.
00:48:34There is a momentum for us.
00:48:37A sense of joy, a celebration which you would be wise to acknowledge.
00:48:41The people can clearly see the sincerity of the love between Margaret and me and I would advise you not
00:48:47to reprehend us for that.
00:48:50Such an act could backfire.
00:48:52And now, if I may give you some advice in turn, Peter, that when referring to a member of the
00:49:00royal family, you use the appropriate title.
00:49:02In this case, her royal highness.
00:49:05When referring to the woman I love, and who loves me, and who is soon to be my wife, I'll
00:49:10call her what I damn well like.
00:49:12Her name is Margaret.
00:49:18Car, Townsend.
00:49:21Waiting.
00:49:24Tick.
00:49:25Tick.
00:49:27Tick.
00:49:32Tick.
00:49:35Tick.
00:49:35Tick.
00:49:36Tick.
00:49:43Tick.
00:49:46Tick.
00:49:47Tick.
00:49:48Tick.
00:49:48Tick.
00:49:49Tick.
00:49:49Tick.
00:49:50Tick.
00:49:50Tick.
00:49:50Tick.
00:49:52Tick.
00:49:53Tick.
00:49:54Tick.
00:50:01Tick.
00:50:44We honour a man of remarkable vision, who saw how great this land could become once civilised.
00:50:57I wish continued prosperity and success to all those who inhabit it.
00:51:11Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the Loyal Church.
00:51:16Telegram for Princess Margaret.
00:51:18The Queen.
00:51:19To the Queen.
00:52:00I need to speak to my sister.
00:52:02No!
00:52:16Switchboard.
00:52:18Her Royal Highness needs to make an urgent call to Her Majesty the Queen.
00:52:21A secure line will be required.
00:52:23Putting you through.
00:52:25Foreign Office, her mayor, direct your call.
00:52:28Buckingham Palace, Victoria 4832.
00:52:33I have Her Royal Highness the Princess Margaret for Her Majesty the Queen.
00:52:36Sir?
00:52:39Sir?
00:52:44On a secure line.
00:52:47Of course.
00:52:48What's taking so long?
00:52:49Well, I gather we have the secure line, ma'am.
00:52:51They're just having trouble locating Her Majesty.
00:52:53What's going to be so difficult?
00:52:54She's the Queen.
00:52:55Very conspicuous.
00:52:57She can't disappear.
00:52:57Where's the Royal Highness?
00:53:00Oh, no.
00:53:12Oh, my God.
00:53:17Oh, my God.
00:53:19Sorry.а
00:53:29Sandringham House, good evening.
00:53:32Yes, sir, she's here.
00:53:34Arrived about an hour ago.
00:53:38Yes, sir, right away.
00:53:55May'am, I've located the queen.
00:54:11Yes, ma'am.
00:54:28How could you?
00:54:30Margaret.
00:54:30You gave me your word.
00:54:32Promised me he'd still be there when I got back.
00:54:34I did.
00:54:34Why is he been sent away?
00:54:36Banished like some criminal.
00:54:38Things got out of hand.
00:54:40I took you at your word.
00:54:42Believed everything you said.
00:54:44How happy you were for me.
00:54:46How you would support us.
00:54:48Margaret.
00:54:49You've been against us from the beginning.
00:54:50Because you can't bear to be eclipsed.
00:54:52What?
00:54:53Can't bear to be outshone by your younger sister.
00:54:56You've never liked it.
00:54:57Admit it.
00:54:59And you've hated our Peter and I've caught the popular imagination.
00:55:01Hated it enough to want to destroy it.
00:55:03This is madness.
00:55:04Well, you fail to protect me.
00:55:08I will fail to protect you in turn.
00:55:11Margaret.
00:55:14You reap what you sow, sister.
00:57:15Thank you, Britain.
00:57:23In 48 hours it would have passed.
00:57:27If you were lucky.
00:57:28I fear it would take longer than that for Margaret to forgive me.
00:57:31Well, she will in time.
00:57:32She has to.
00:57:35We all have to.
00:57:43Be right with you.
00:57:45Hello, Mike.
00:57:46Where are you going?
00:57:47I told you I was away for the weekend.
00:57:49Did you?
00:57:50The Baron's having a house party.
00:57:52Who's Baron?
00:57:53Baron Nahum.
00:57:54President of our lunch club.
00:57:58They don't look like that.
00:57:59It's a gentleman only, right?
00:58:01Absolutely.
00:58:05All perfectly innocent.
00:58:07Thanks.
00:58:20Thanks.
00:58:21Yeah, that's how he's lit.
00:58:24Sniffed all the red, eh?
00:58:30Hello!
00:58:51Hello!
00:59:21Hello!
00:59:57Hello!
