02:50By the end of this tour, I think we'll be able to make a qualitative assessment about where the finest
02:56women in the world come from.
02:58For now, however, I can tell you the women of New Guinea are sweeter than those of Ceylon and right
03:04up there with those of Malaya!
03:09I have shared these secrets with you in good faith.
03:12The contents must, like all disclosures of the officers on board are married and would kill me if they knew
03:21what I was writing!
03:24Strict, strict non-disclosure policies apply. What happens on tour stays on tour!
03:31But rest assured, I will keep you updated on our forthcoming adventures.
03:38I sense this will be a momentous, ever, ever your fellow member, Mike!
03:45Thank you!
05:30How do we pay back our trust by taking us into an illegal war under false pretences?
05:41It's a shameful, dishonest, misadventure!
05:55The invasion has been a disaster.
05:59The UN General Assembly is up in arms, as are the Americans.
06:04As a result, our Prime Minister has had no option but to declare an immediate ceasefire and retreat.
06:12Without taking back the Suez Canal?
06:15Quite.
06:16So it's all been for nothing?
06:18No, rather worse than nothing.
06:21Economically, the drain on our currency reserves has been so ruinous that we now face a run on sterling.
06:28The energy situation is just as bad.
06:31Panic buying has been reported at petrol stations and we expect fuel rationing to become necessary as we move into
06:38winter.
06:41This is no exaggeration to say that this has been the worst week for the country since 1939.
06:47The peace and consensus left by your dear father is gone and our reputation for decency and integrity in matters
06:56of foreign policy has been shattered.
06:58What is it?
07:01The Duke of Edinburgh is on the telephone, Your Majesty.
07:05Hmm? Wouldn't that's a first?
07:07From New Guinea, no.
07:11Sorry, do excuse me.
07:12Of course.
07:13Give him my best.
07:21Hello?
07:22Hello?
07:24Hello. Hello, Philip.
07:27Hello, can you hear me?
07:28Yes, yes, yes, I can hear you.
07:33I can't hear you.
07:35Can you hear me?
07:37Yes, I can hear you.
07:39Um, um, hello?
07:42Elizabeth?
07:45Can you hear me?
07:51Philip?
07:55Oh.
08:02Ready for you, sir.
08:03Ready for you, sir.
08:10Damn telephones.
08:12Bloody things.
08:13This is why they're bothering some.
08:26At ease, gentlemen.
08:34Well, our adventure is only two weeks old, and it's already taken us nearly 20,000 miles as we travel
08:41to far corners of the world.
08:45In an attempt to repair the reputation of our country currently being ruined by our politicians.
08:54I would like to thank each and every one of you for your professionalism and discipline.
09:00You have all been brilliant.
09:01All that is, except for the football team.
09:04The shoddy, leaky defense and absence of a natural left-sided player led to that rather humiliating defeat by the
09:12seamen's club of all bloody people at Port Sweternon.
09:18I should also like to say, if I may, Admiral.
09:22Yes, sir.
09:41few greater pleasures in life than serving on a ship such as this. That's why it's all
09:47so very difficult to leave. But leave I must and fly to Melbourne to open the Olympics there
09:54where I must generally behave myself, shake a few hands, cut a few ribbons. It will be
10:00hell, I can assure you. And I will be counting the minutes until you come and pick me up
10:06again and we can continue our great adventure. Now, in the meantime, behave yourselves.
10:11Keep fit. And don't drink all the bloody beer.
10:36So depressing, this sewer's business.
10:40Well, don't read about it then. I can't help myself. What were they thinking?
10:44Shall we take a look at the schedule?
10:46Will I tune you up?
10:47Probably not, no. I've been stripping things out wherever I can but I'm afraid it's still pretty hectic.
10:52We start with a uranium mine visit in the Northern Territory, agricultural parades in Sydney,
10:59then overdo a British Empire service league conference in Canberra, and finally garden parties
11:04at the government house.
11:05Enjoy.
11:05But I've come up with a nice little stock speech which you can memorise like a minor bird
11:10and deliver each step of the way.
11:15Australia.
11:16In the name itself conjures up such romantic images of progress, ambition, possibility.
11:28It is said that the mark of any great nation is the journey it has endured on its path to
11:33glory.
11:37What a journey Australia must take.
11:46From those early European explorers who landed at your shores, we've endured great hardship and crisis.
11:52Less independently minded nations would have faltered, sought support from the parent nation.
11:57Once so integral to their governance, but Australia forged onwards.
12:04Like it's rugged and at times unforgiving land state, Australia showed true strength, true mettle.
12:18You have admirably developed every branch of your life and culture.
12:26And just 200 years have grown into a unique and individual civilisation,
12:33which I'm sure will rank among the greatest that the world has seen.
12:43Australia.
12:48The name's Helen King, 29 years old, writes for The Age, one of the most prominent newspapers here.
12:54She's asked to meet you.
12:57That's me, sir.
12:59What for?
13:00An interview.
13:02I thought we decided no interviews.
13:04We did, but in her case I find myself moved to make an exception.
13:08You saw the way she was looking at me?
13:09Yes.
13:10You don't think I'm being delusional.
13:13The gentleman's radar aren't all that.
13:15No.
13:16Not to mention the way she's followed us every step of the tour.
13:18No, I think we can safely assume this one's a friend.
13:22Not an enemy.
13:23I think we can't see.
13:34The time, I think we don't.
13:42We're all kind.
13:44We're all good.
13:44You got me wondering, why don't you see me?
13:44I don't know.
13:44Okay, well, I don't know,
13:44I wish I'd better get you on my own own.
13:50And I wish I had to do it,
13:53as the Duke takes his place in the world.
14:00I declare open the Olympic Games of Melbourne,
14:05celebrating the 16th Olympiad of the modern era.
14:15He looks happy.
14:18Once.
14:20The Duke smiles with thunderous applause
14:23and thousands of cheers...
14:25Yes.
14:26Very happy.
14:29You can thank me for that. That's my idea.
14:32I always knew it was a good idea to let him shine, alone.
14:36What a magnificent moment.
14:38Yes, thank you, Marie.
14:47In ancient Greece, the beginning of the Games was heralded by the homing of the pigeons.
14:53And so too today.
15:07Yes.
15:08Yes.
15:09Yes.
15:13Mrs. Parker, this way, please.
15:15We do.
15:18Mrs. Parker, how can I help?
15:20I'd like to separate from my husband.
15:23Better still, divorce.
15:26Do you mind me asking on what grounds?
15:28The fact I never see him.
15:31Absence isn't a legal ground for divorce.
15:37Neglect?
15:38Nor that, I'm afraid.
15:40We're going to need one of the big three.
15:41Adultery, unreasonable behaviour, or insanity.
15:44I'm quite sure there has been adultery.
15:47We will need evidence.
15:50That won't be easy.
15:52Because of his job.
15:55Mike works for the Duke of Edinburgh.
15:56In what capacity?
15:59His private secretary.
16:01Oh, I see.
16:03He's also his closest friend.
16:05They're virtually inseparable.
16:08Are you really sure about this?
16:11A divorce can leave a woman quite isolated.
16:15Maybe things will get better if you stick it out.
16:20I tend to think that's always the best way for everyone.
16:25Grass is rarely greener.
16:29I will come back when I have evidence.
16:45You're taking the pethidine?
16:46Yes.
16:47And the pentobarbitone?
16:48Yes, I'm taking the pentobarbitone.
16:51But it doesn't work.
16:53I need something stronger.
16:55There is nothing stronger.
16:59The fact is, in terms of pharmacology, we've gone as far as we can.
17:11I have the greatest sympathy for your condition, Prime Minister.
17:14And I fully understand the need for rest.
17:19But given the challenges that are now facing this country,
17:23you don't feel that you have a responsibility to execute your duties just a little longer.
17:28I asked the physician the same question, ma'am.
17:31But he insisted.
17:35He felt that I was at the very limit of human endurance.
17:42But the country will be in safe hands.
17:45Mr. Butler will take charge in my absence.
17:50Mr. Head will oversee the withdrawal of our troops from Egypt.
17:55And Mr. Macmillan will oversee the...
17:59...economic situation.
18:01Economic crisis.
18:05How long do you imagine you'll be away?
18:08Not long, ma'am.
18:10A few weeks.
18:12Well...
18:14I suppose one can always reach you at short notice.
18:17It's a point I always make to my private secretaries.
18:20Yes, I'm away.
18:22But Windsor radios just round the corner.
18:25And Norfolk, too.
18:27County Durham.
18:28Isn't it?
18:30Your family home.
18:34Jamaica, ma'am.
18:37Your family home?
18:38Where the doctor felt I should be going.
18:41He specified Jamaica.
18:43He specified sunshine.
18:45Tropical sunshine.
18:46He said he felt my life might depend on it.
18:53What would he prescribe for the rest of us?
18:56Do you imagine?
19:00Prime Minister.
19:02Your Majesty.
19:05Prime Minister.
19:17Nouro.
19:19Nouro.
19:21Nouro.
19:30Nouro.
19:33Nouro.
19:34I don't know if he had any attention.
19:38excuse me excuse me you work in there don't you at the thursday club as a waitress who's asking

20:46but i know nothing of your husband here is my address and um and my number just
20:57if anything should occur
20:59of your husband here is my name is my name is my family but i know nothing about you
21:25need a right
21:28and i don't know if i do it
21:35Martin, do you have a minute, Michael?
21:38I think it's important.
21:40Coming.
21:44I'm going to ask you to go through it again.
21:47Yes, the provenance of this room is quite arcane.
21:51Your sister?
21:52Sister-in-law.
21:53Had lunch with her aunt who had just spent the weekend at...
21:58Chumley Castle.
21:59At which one of the other guests was the bridge partner...
22:03Tennis.
22:05...of the solicitor visited by Eileen Parker.
22:11I think that's it.
22:13That's half Britain already.
22:15And all of these people now know Mrs. Parker is seeking a divorce.
22:23Yes.
22:25It's unfortunate.
22:27It'll be hard to contain.
22:30What are...
22:32Mrs. Parker's...
22:36grievances?
22:39Neglect.
22:40Unreasonable behavior.
22:43And...
22:45infidelity.
22:46Just a wife's suspicions.
22:48Nothing concrete.
22:49But I believe specific mention was made of a lunch club where Lieutenant Commander Parker and the Duke of Edinburgh...
22:55Don't tell me.
22:56Don't tell me.
22:57Frequent guests.
22:59Actually, founder members.
23:03Keep an eye on this for me, would you, Martin?
23:06How close are I?
23:07Three thousand problems, please, Jane.
23:09Here it is.
23:23Thank you very much.
23:48for seeing me, sir. Not at all. Well, um, just bear with me when I put my things down and
23:57set up. Please. Just going to put a microphone right here. Can I help? No, it's fine. Thank
24:14you. Right. I think that's it. Right. Well, I'll, uh, I'll leave you two to it then. Thank
24:24you, Michael. Please. Thank you. Where do you want? Well, we can't really start without
24:35passing comment on the situation in Egypt and the international response. Why? Huge
24:43demonstrations on the streets of London. Eden caving in to international pressure and
24:48calling a ceasefire. You don't think it's a pretty significant moment for your country?
24:52Perhaps, but I'm not going to pass comment on that. Why not? It's not my job. It's not what
24:57members of the royal family do. But you must have thoughts about it. Of course. Not a vegetable,
25:04but my thoughts on issues like that remain a private matter.
25:11One can't help wondering where it leaves Britain's place in the world. Oh, I'm sure Britain will
25:15be fine. No, the view from over here is that Britain has been publicly humiliated. Oh.
25:22As someone with surprisingly progressive views, that must concern you. I have progressive views.
25:29You don't think that you do? Televising the coronation? Advocating modernization? That's just
25:35common sense. If you're a progressive, one prepared to make changes. Well, let's just say
25:40that I learned very early on that it's wise not to take things for granted. You're referring
25:45to your family. How they had to leave Greece in the revolution. Your grandfather was shot.
25:51Your father fled to avoid being shot. Yes, correct.
25:58Well, you see, there's so much that people don't really know about you.
26:05I can assure you it's all been rather embellished. The truth is really quite dull.
26:11Dull? How you personally fled Corfu in an orange crate? And then in childhood, in exile,
26:17always on the move? Exile is too strong a word. Too emotional. Just how it was for everyone.
26:22Just go home with it. But it can't have been easy. Was the trauma of being in exile what brought
26:33on your mother's illness, do you think? More illness. Well, the information I have is
26:44that she suffered a breakdown. Things weren't easy for her. But she got on with it.
26:58She was taken away, wasn't she? To an institution. And then your father promptly abandoned the family,
27:04ran off with his mistress? I don't know what you've been reading or who you've been speaking
27:08to. But both my mother and my father played very active roles in all their children's lives.
27:13So it isn't true that you didn't see your father for the last six years of his life?
27:16I think if we're to remain friends, we really should move on.
27:20All right. May I ask you about your education?
27:26Sir.
27:35What about it?
27:37That was pretty unusual, too.
27:39I went to boarding school in Britain. I knew what's unusual about that.
27:42For a while, but then you were taken out of there and sent to school in Germany.
27:46Because my sisters lived there.
27:47Your Nazi sisters.
27:49Oh, Christ.
27:50One of whom was married to a close personal friend of Hitler's.
27:52I was at school in Germany for less than a year before I returned to the United Kingdom.
27:57What point are you trying to make here?
27:59I think it's pretty clear which side I was on.
28:01My record in the war speaks for itself.
28:02I'm simply saying that your background is so much more interesting and complex than people
28:07might imagine.
28:07Do they imagine anything?
28:08I think people are curious.
28:12There is this striking, handsome man, walking beside the most famous woman in the world.
28:20Who is he?
28:22Well, I hate to disappoint.
28:27But he really is just a normal man.
28:30In what from the outside probably looks like rather a strange life.
28:34But from the inside, really is no different to anyone else's.
28:41I don't think there's anything about you that's like anyone else.
28:46From a young age, you were effectively orphaned.
28:49Your favorite sister, Cecile, also a Nazi, died in a plane crash.
28:53Yeah, I really think we should move on now.
28:54What kind of impact does that have on a man?
28:57That's the kind of trauma that will doubtless have a bearing on how your own children and
29:02the future king of England abroad are.
29:04It's enough.
29:08I think people have a right to know about their leaders.
29:11Don't you?
29:12Especially ones that can't be thrown out with free and fair elections.
29:20Just don't ever let my vanity get the better of me again.
29:45I think people have a right to know about their children and their children and their children and their children
29:53and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their
29:53children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and
29:53their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children
29:53and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their
29:53children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and
29:53their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children
29:53and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their
29:53children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and
29:53their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children
29:53and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their children and their
29:53children
29:53I don't know.
30:27Kensington 8953, hello?
30:34We met a few times in various locations.
30:49Afterwards, he'd tell me about his job, the company he keeps.
30:59You didn't mention a wife or children.
31:08I'm so sorry.
31:13If you are really sorry, I want to make my life easier.
31:21Of course.
31:24We will need you to make an official statement and give evidence in court.
31:29I can't do that. I would lose my job, my reputation.
31:31I'm afraid that's what the law requires.
31:33No.
31:37No.
31:39So you telephoned me and agreed to come here today for what, precisely?
31:44To put colour into my nightmares?
31:47I'm sorry.
31:55My sources now tell me that Mrs. Parker has gone as far as bringing a waitress from a Thursday lunch
32:00club to see her divorce line.
32:02I gather the waitress has not provided hard evidence on this occasion, just hearsay.
32:08They were obviously getting close.
32:09This cannot be allowed to go one single step further, Martin.
32:14No.
32:14If Mrs. Parker succeeds in getting her divorce, the newspapers would make the not unreasonable assumption that anything that Lieutenant
32:24Commander Parker has done, the Duke of Edinburgh has done too.
32:28We do not want words like infidelity and divorce swirling around.
32:34No.
32:35Whether there is any truth in the allegations or not, it would shatter the integrity of royal marriage and jeopardize
32:42the entire monarchy.
32:47Any ideas?
32:50Stand easy. Stand easy.
32:52Right, our grown-up duties are done.
32:55The Olympics are officially up and running, which means, gentlemen, we can now get on with the important business at
33:00hand, our tour!
33:05We have nine weeks between now and our arrival home.
33:09In that time, we will be visiting the remotest parts of the Commonwealth.
33:11But I'm delighted to say that during that time, we will be without reporters.
33:18We will be without photographers.
33:22We will be out of the world's eyes!
33:26And with that in mind, I think Michael's got a suggestion.
33:31Right, gentlemen.
33:31Yes, I'd like to propose something a little unusual.
33:34Something I'm fairly sure none of us has ever participated in before.
33:38A beard-growing competition!
33:42Now, special dispensation has been given to the dozen or so.
33:46Men already have been.
33:48It's a shave of the moth.
33:49And they're lacked as judges for the rest of our efforts, all right?
33:53Yeah!
33:54Hey Chris!
33:56Hey Pedro!
33:57Hey Pedro!
33:58Hey Pedro!
33:59Hey Pedro!
34:00No, no way!
34:13There's nothing you have not seen before!
34:15We can't see it now, Bill.
34:43Right, in their infinite wisdom, the powers that be have decided
34:46they would like you to make a Christmas speech.
34:49What?
34:50To who? The men on board?
34:52Uh, no, to the half a billion people that make up the Commonwealth of Nations.
34:57In the Lord Chamberlain's office,
34:58they'd like you to make a companion Christmas speech to the Queens.
35:01A thousand words, preferably uplifting in tone and Christian in sentiment,
35:06with as many references as possible to the importance of family
35:09and the sanctity of marriage.
35:12What if I don't want to?
35:14Well, I'm afraid no provisions appear to have been made
35:16for your having an opinion about that, or indeed anything else.
35:21Because of seniority, your speech will come second,
35:25at the usual time, 3 p.m.
35:29However, on Christmas morning,
35:31the Duke of Edinburgh is expected to be in Graham Land,
35:34which is in the Antarctic Peninsula,
35:35which is ten hours behind us,
35:37so he'll have to get up at the crack of dawn to make his speech.
35:40May I ask why he's making a speech?
35:44Um?
35:45Well, it's not usual, is it?
35:48No, it is extraordinary.
35:51Um, I think the feeling was
35:53that with Your Majesty and His Royal Highness
35:56having not been seen in public together so long,
36:01being at least heard together...
36:04No, I see.
36:04It might reassure people that all is still well.
36:07Well, I wouldn't go that far, ma'am.
36:09Well, I would.
36:10And I think it's a good idea.
36:13Thank you, Michael.
36:20May I just ask,
36:23just out of curiosity,
36:26what's the longest amount of time
36:27that you and Lady Adeen have been separated?
36:31Uh, three weeks, I think.
36:35I see.
36:36And would you say that you thrive
36:37or suffer from a separation?
36:42We don't much care for it, ma'am.
36:44Helen, in particular,
36:46believes that little good comes from
36:49a couple being apart,
36:50that a husband and wife belong together.
36:57Of course.
37:00I don't know.
37:01But...
37:02I don't know.
37:19I don't know.
37:48Yes, sir.
37:51What's up?
37:52Australian Naval Patrol boat.
37:54It's Jameis Warren has put out a distress call.
37:56They picked up a fishing boat out of power and it's drifted for days.
37:59Only one man left alive and he nearly drowned trying to fix the hull.
38:02He suffered a broken rib cage and his lung made me punctured.
38:05And the warreen doesn't have a doctor on board.
38:07The man is dying.
38:08Are we the nearest ship?
38:09There's a French freighter three miles further out.
38:12We are the nearest ship.
38:14Set your course.
38:16Bring her about.
38:18Coming about, 9 to 3.
38:40He's coming up.
38:43He's coming up.
39:05We fished him out of the water floating near his boat.
39:08The rest of his crew must have drowned.
39:10There's no log on board, so we don't know who he is or where he's from.
39:13It doesn't matter who he is or where he's from.
39:15He's the captain of the ship.
39:18That's where it counts.
39:20He's one of us.
39:24You know, it's out of the question, sir.
39:26Why?
39:27We have a strict schedule, in spite of an official term.
39:31And to take the man back to wherever he came from would be to turn back in entirely the wrong
39:35direction.
39:36It'd take days, maybe a whole week, off our important schedule.
39:40We can make that time up.
39:41The man's fortunate enough.
39:42We saved his life.
39:44We'll simply drop him off at the next destination and that'll be that.
39:47He will be needlessly separated from his home.
39:50Find himself in a strange country with a foreign language.
39:54Away from his family.
39:55Not my concern.
39:57Another vessel with less important duties might find time for such sentimental charity.
40:02We've done our important duties and are on the way home.
40:06Effectively a glorified pleasure cruiser with an abundance of fuel and time to spare.
40:12Sir, my decision as flag officer is no.
40:15And my decision as admiral of the fleet is that we do.
40:26There is only one person in command of the vessel.
40:34It's the flag officer.
40:37If you'd recall your naval training, you'd remember.
40:41I do recall my naval training as it happens.
40:44Manning command posts on destroyers during the war.
40:47The same war which I believe you spent on shore duty.
40:51I have never abused my privileges and I don't intend to start now.
40:55But this is the Royal Yacht.
40:56I am on it representing the crown and I say turn it around and take this man home.
41:25My dear friends.
41:26After 20 eventful weeks at sea, visiting five continents and covering many thousands of miles,
41:34I'm happy to report that we saved our greatest adventure for last.
41:39As the Royal Yacht Britannia turned naval rescue and we fished a shipwrecked mariner under the water.
41:47Our brilliant surgeons operated on him.
41:49Then we went out of our way to return him to his home, his family and his people.
42:16The Royal Yacht Britannia
42:33And what people, what family, what home.
43:09The Royal Yacht Britannia
43:12ever grow tired of your colourless
43:14and empty lives in London.
43:17I suggest immediate
43:19relocation to the discreet island
43:20nations nestled around Tonga.
43:24Surely the closest one can come
43:26to heaven on earth.
43:30Never have we received such a
43:32welcome or eaten
43:35so well.
43:37Never have I experienced
43:39such a willingness to
43:40set oneself free and
43:43enjoy.
43:45And nowhere
43:47on earth, and we have
43:49by this point travelled across
43:50almost every inch,
43:53have we encountered
43:55such
43:56beautiful women.
44:14These really have been the most
44:16remarkable few days.
44:19And it is with the
44:21greatest reluctance
44:22that after three days here,
44:24we tear ourselves away,
44:26each of us
44:27not a little bit,
44:29but a great deal
44:30in love.
44:46that is your husband's
44:48handwriting, isn't it?
44:53you said you needed evidence.
44:59That's not a royal tour,
45:00that one.
45:01It's a five-month
45:02stag night.
45:04Whores in every port.
45:13Good luck.
45:15Good luck.
45:17Good luck.
46:01Happy Christmas.
46:03Happy Christmas.
46:04Hello.
46:05I'm both cold.
46:07It's a joke.
46:09It's a joke.
46:17All right.
46:35Written it, yes?
46:37No.
46:39I'm waiting for inspiration
46:40to strike.
46:44Might I suggest some
46:45gung-ho platitudes
46:46about Christmas
46:48in the Commonwealth?
46:49That's what they
46:50want me to say.
46:52That's what they want me to say.
46:52I mean what I want to say.
46:57Right.
47:04have you got it yet?
47:05Have you got it yet?
47:06Here it is.
47:07Here it is.
47:08Where exactly is Philip?
47:10Here it is.
47:21What is it?
47:22Is that north?
47:23Is that south?
47:24It's north.
47:25No.
47:25Don't be silly, Mummy.
47:26It's south.
47:26Does anyone actually know?
47:28Yes, because the Arctic is north.
47:31And so Antarctica is non-north, isn't it?
47:35What's northern north?
47:37Come.
47:40It's time.
47:41Good.
47:42Your Majesties.
47:43Your Royal Highnesses.
47:44Oh, come to me, children.
47:52Good morning.
47:55I'm speaking to you from the edge of the South Pacific, 59 degrees south and 60 degrees west.
48:02You'll have to turn the globe upside down to find this place.
48:05Indeed, a few of us aboard the Royal Yacht feel a little upside down,
48:09having never been this far from home.
48:13The remoteness of the location presents one with a precious opportunity to think.
48:18About one's own life.
48:21One's own way of living.
48:24We've travelled the world now and seen all manner of tribes, societies and cultures.
48:31We've had endless debates about which places have the best systems of government or justice
48:35or the most interesting religions.
48:38And we've been amazed and impressed by so much of what we've seen.
48:44Naturally, it has led us to examine our own lives and the way we live.
48:49The things we take for granted.
48:52Is that really Philip?
48:53Some sort of Philip impersonator?
48:56Why?
48:57It sounds so odd.
48:59So different.
49:05And here I am almost 10,000 miles from London.
49:09Surrounded by empty water.
49:14It's a fine life on board a ship.
49:17But it can be a solitary one.
49:22We are men together.
49:27But we each stand alone.
49:50We can ask to tell you that they're ready for you.
49:59Last minute changes.
50:02Something like that.
50:03May I help?
50:05No.
50:12Thank you, sir.
50:15How are you?
50:17I'm fine.
50:17Let's see if I can hold the lunch.
50:21I'm fine.
50:22Good.
50:22I'm fine.
50:33Good.
50:36Good.
50:37Happy Christmas.
50:39Happy Christmas.
50:41Happy Christmas.
50:44The people of Britain and the Commonwealth will now listen to the voice of Her Majesty the Queen.
50:58Once again, messages of Christmas greeting have been exchanged around the world.
51:04Carried upon the invisible wings of 20th century science.
51:11And of all those many messages from all corners of the Commonwealth,
51:17none has given us greater pleasure than hearing those of my husband
51:24from the remote and lonely spaces of Antarctica.
51:31To him I say, from all the members of your family gathered here today,
51:39our very best wishes go to you on board Britannia.
51:46A very large, united family is waiting for you here.
51:57And will always be waiting for you.
52:00Wherever you are.
52:17I would like to express my gratitude to those men and women of the Commonwealth,
52:23whose efforts in our great cities...
52:53To your left at the
53:28You alright?
53:31Fine.
53:41A speech.
53:44What about it?
53:47Touching.
53:50Unexpectedly touching.
53:53Caught me off guard.
53:58I might even have to confess to feeling a little...
54:04Homesick?
54:09Yes.
54:13Nice.
54:18That's it.
54:19Yes.
54:21Yes.
54:31Yes.
