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!
03:47I sense this will be a momentous, ever your mother!
03:51You and me areazy- three and their Teach Simon, who'sürü dearly!
04:04I miss you tonight!
04:04Look at me!
04:07I miss you tonight!
05:32We'll be right back our trust by taking us into an illegal war under false pretences, a shameful, dishonest misadventure.
06:58What is it?
07:01The Duke of Edinburgh is on the telephone, Your Majesty.
07:05Hmm?
07:05Wouldn't that's a first?
07:07From New Guinea, no?
07:08Oh.
07:11Sorry.
07:11Do excuse me.
07:12Of course.
07:13Give her my best.
07:21Hello?
07:22Hello?
07:24Hello?
07:25Hello.
07:27Can you hear me?
07:27Can you hear me?
07:28Yes.
07:29Yes.
07:29I can hear you.
07:33I can't hear you.
07:35Can you hear me?
07:38Hello?
07:42Hello?
07:44Can you hear me?
07:47I can hear you.
07:51Philip.
07:55Oh.
07:57Oh.
08:02Ready for it sir.
08:12This is why they're bothering us.
08:26At ease, gentlemen.
08:34Well, our adventure is only two weeks old, and it's already taken us nearly 20,000 miles
08:40as we travel the far corners of the world in an attempt to repair the reputation of
08:48our 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, all that is except for the football team.
09:04The shoddy, leaky defence and absence of a natural left-sided player led to that rather humiliating
09:11defeat by the Seamans Club of all bloody people at Port Sweternand.
09:18I should also like to say, if I may, Admiral, it's been wonderful for me on a personal level
09:30to be back at sea.
09:32The Royal Navy has always occupied a very special place in my life and, indeed, in my heart.
09:41There are few greater pleasures in life than serving on a ship such as this.
09:46That's why it's all so very difficult to leave.
09:49But, leave I must, and fly to Melbourne to open the Olympics there, where I must generally
09:55behave myself, shake a few hands, cut a few ribbons.
09:59It will be hell, I can assure you.
10:03And I will be counting the minutes until you come and pick me up again, and we can continue
10:07our great adventure.
10:08Now, in the meantime, behave yourselves, keep fit, and don't drink all the bloody beer.
10:20Thank you so much.
10:22Well done, boys.
10:23Well done, Victor.
10:24Good stuff.
10:26Well done.
10:27Well done.
10:28Well done.
10:29You're a...
10:30Very good.
10:30Yeah.
10:36So depressing, the sewers business.
10:39Well, can't read about it, then.
10:42I can't help myself.
10:43What were they thinking?
10:44Should we take a look at the set?
10:46Well done.
10:47Probably not, no.
10:49I've been stripping things out wherever I can, but I'm afraid it's still pretty hectic.
10:53We start with a uranium mine visit in the Northern Territory.
10:57Agricultural parades in Sydney.
10:59Then overdo a British Empire service league conference in Canberra.
11:02And finally, garden parties at the government house.
11:05Enjoy.
11:05But I've come up with a nice little stock speech which you can memorize like a minor bird and deliver
11:10each step of the way.
11:14Australia.
11:16Australia.
11:17And 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 who would have faulted and sought support from the parent nation.
11:58Once 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 metal.
12:18You have admirably developed every branch of your life and culture.
12:26And just 200 years have grown into a unique and individual civilization, which I'm sure will rank among the greatest
12:35that the world has seen.
12:48The name's Helen King, 29 years old, writes for The Age, one of the most prominent newspapers.
12:54She is here.
12:54She's asked to meet you.
12:57That's me, sir.
12:59What for?
13:00An interview.
13:02I only 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.
13:13Gentlemen'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, not an enemy.
13:32The car, carrying His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh, makes its way out onto the splendid red track here
13:39on the pleasant afternoon in Melbourne.
13:43The crowds are ecstatic as they get their first glimpse of the Duke,
13:47who is reported to be greatly enjoying his time here in Australia.
13:51And now, we're nearly there as the Duke takes his place in the World War.
14:00I declare open the Olympic Games of Melbourne,
14:05celebrating the 16th Olympiad of the modern era.
14:15He looks happy. Once.
14:20The Duke smiles with thunderous applause and thousands of cheers
14:25from the heightened spectators to reverberate around a crowded space.
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.
15:06Ready?
15:08Yes.
15:13Mrs. Parker, this way, please.
15:16Mrs. Parker, how can I help?
15:20I'd like to separate from my husband. Better 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 behavior, or insanity.
15:44I'm quite sure there has been adultery.
15:47We will need evidence.
15:50That won't be easy, because of his job.
15:55Mike works for the Duke of Edinburgh.
15:57In 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, but 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.
17:15And 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
17:25to execute your duties just a little longer?
17:28I asked the physician the same question, ma'am.
17:31But he insisted.
17:34He felt that I was at the very limit of human endurance.
17:42But the country will be in safe hands.
17:46Mr. Butler will take charge in my absence.
17:50Mr. Head will oversee the withdrawal of our troops from Egypt.
17:54Mr. McMillan will oversee the economic situation.
18:01Economic crisis?
18:05How long do you imagine you'll be away?
18:07Not long, ma'am.
18:10A few weeks.
18:13Well, I 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?
19:01Prime Minister.
19:02Your Majesty.
19:38Excuse me.
19:40Excuse me.
19:41You work in there, don't you?
19:44At the Thursday Club.
19:46As a waitress?
19:47Who's asking?
19:48My name is Eileen.
19:50Do you have a minute?
19:51What can I do for you?
19:54I'd like you to tell me what goes on inside.
19:59Are you a reporter or something?
20:00No, no.
20:01Nothing like that.
20:02No, no.
20:02No, no.
20:02Just a wife of one of the members.
20:05And mother to his children.
20:07You may know him.
20:08His name is Mike.
20:09There are so many gentlemen.
20:11Mike Parker.
20:15You do know him, don't you?
20:19Mike would have made sure of that.
20:21You're just his type.
20:24Look, one day you will be married, too.
20:26And I sincerely hope that you make a good choice.
20:29But if you don't, and you meet a man who makes you unhappy,
20:33then as a woman, I would wish for you to be able to leave that man easily, painlessly.
20:40So if there is anything you can tell me that might make my leaving easier.
20:44I'm sorry, Mrs. Parker.
20:46But I know nothing of your husband.
20:50Here is my address and, um, and my number.
20:53I just...
20:57If anything, should occur to you.
21:20I just...
21:21If anything, should occur to you.
21:23If anything...
21:26If anything...
21:27If anything...
21:28If anything...
21:29If anything...
21:31If anything...
21:35Martin.
21:36Do 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.
22:06Of the solicitor.
22:08Visited by Eileen Parker.
22:11I think that's it.
22:13That's half Britain already.
22:15And all of these people now know...
22:18Mrs. Parker...
22:21Is seeking a divorce.
22:23Yes.
22:24It's unfortunate.
22:27It'll be hard to contain.
22:31What are...
22:33Mrs. Parker's...
22:37Grievances?
22:37Grievances.
22:39And neglect.
22:41Unreasonable 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...
22:52Where Lieutenant Commander Parker and the Duke of Edinburgh...
22:55Don't tell me.
22:56Frequent guests.
22:58Actually...
22:59Founder members.
23:03Keep an eye on this for me, would you, Martin?
23:06Of course.
23:06How close are they?
23:09There it is.
23:21Madam.
23:22Thank you very much.
23:35Spreaking.
23:42Ready, Sir?
23:43Certainly, I am.
23:46Your Royal Highness is the Duke of Edinburgh.
23:47Thank you for seeing me, sir.
23:49Not at all.
23:53Well, erm...
23:54Just bear with me when I put my things down and set up.
23:57Please.
24:09I'm just going to put a microphone right here.
24:11Can I help?
24:13No, it's fine. Thank you.
24:18Right. I think that's it.
24:21Right. Well, I'll leave you two to it then.
24:24Thank you, Michael. Please.
24:32Very when you are.
24:34Well, we can't really start without passing comment on the situation in Egypt and the international response.
24:40Why?
24:43Huge demonstrations on the streets of London. Eden caving in to international pressure and calling a ceasefire.
24:49You don't think it's a pretty significant moment for your country?
24:52Perhaps, but I'm not going to pass comment on that.
24:55Why not?
24:56It's not my job. It's not what members of the royal family do.
25:00But you must have thoughts about it.
25:02Of course.
25:03Not 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.
25:15Oh, I'm sure Britain will be fine.
25:17No.
25:17The view from over here is that Britain has been publicly humiliated.
25:21Oh.
25:22As someone with surprisingly progressive views, that must concern you.
25:27I have progressive views.
25:29You don't think that you do?
25:31Televising the coronation?
25:34Advocating modernization?
25:35That's just common sense.
25:36If you're a progressive, one prepared to make changes.
25:39Well, let's just say that I learned very early on that it's wise not to take things for granted.
25:45You're referring to your family.
25:47How they had to leave Greece in the revolution.
25:50Your grandfather was shot.
25:51Your father fled to avoid being shot.
25:54Yes, 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.
26:08The truth is really quite dull.
26:11Dull?
26:12How you personally fled Corfu in an orange crate.
26:15And then in childhood, in exile, always on the move.
26:18Exile is too strong a word.
26:20Too emotional.
26:21Just how it was for everyone.
26:22Just got on with it.
26:26But it can't have been easy.
26:30What's the trauma of being in exile what brought on your mother's illness, do you think?
26:40What illness?
26:42Well, the information I have is that she suffered a breakdown.
26:53Things weren't easy for her.
26:57But she got on with it.
26:58She was taken away, wasn't she?
27:00To an institution.
27:02And then your father promptly abandoned the family, ran off with his mistress?
27:06I don't know what you've been reading or who you've been speaking to,
27:09but 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.
27:23May I ask you about your education?
27:26Sir.
27:33Sir.
27:36What about it?
27:37That was pretty unusual, too.
27:39I went to boarding school in Britain.
27:40I 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 live there.
27:47Your Nazi sisters, one 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 might 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.
28:19Who 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 the future king
29:02of England abroad are.
29:04It's enough.
29:08I think people have a right to know about their leaders, don'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 leaders, don't even know about their leaders, don't even know
29:52about their leaders, don't even know about their leaders, don't even know about their leaders, don't even know about their
29:52leaders, don't even know about their leaders, don't even know about their leaders, don't even know about their leaders, don't
29:52even know about their leaders, don't even know about their leaders, don't even know about their leaders, don't even know
29:52about their leaders, don't know about their leaders, don't know about their leaders, don't know about their leaders, don't know
29:52about their leaders, don't know about their leaders, don't know about their leaders, don't know about their leaders, don't know
29:53about their leaders, don't know about their leaders, don't know about their leaders, don't know about their leaders, don't know
29:56about their leaders, don't know about their leaders, don't know about their leaders, don't know about their leaders, don't know
30:00about their leaders, don
30:29Kensington 8953, hello?
30:35We met. A few times. In various locations. Afterwards, he'd tell me about his job. The company he keeps. He
31:00didn't mention a wife.
31:03Or children.
31:08I'm so sorry.
31:13If you are really sorry, I want to make my life easier.
31:18No. Of 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. I'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. This 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 interoperable marriage and jeopardize the entire
32:43monarchy.
32:47Any ideas?
32:50Stand easy. Stand easy.
32:52Right. Our grown-up duties are done.
32:54The Olympics are officially up and running, which means, gentlemen, we can now get on with the important business at
33:00hand.
33:00Our tour!
33:05We have nine weeks between now and our arrival home. In that time, we will be visiting the remotest parts
33:11of the Commonwealth.
33:12But 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 eye.
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. Men already have been. It's a shave of the
33:48moth.
33:49And they're lacked as judges for the rest of our efforts, all right?
33:53Yeah!
33:53Go on!
33:54Go on!
33:56Go!
33:58Go!
33:58Go!
33:59Go!
34:00Go!
34:01Go, man!
34:01Go!
34:02Go!
34:02Go, man!
34:03Go!
34:17Go, boy!
34:18Go!
34:43Right, in their infinite wisdom, the powers that be have decided they would like you to
34:47make a Christmas speech. What? To who? The men on board? No, to the half a billion people that make
34:55up the
34:55Commonwealth of Nations. In the Lord Chamberlain's office, they'd like you to make a companion
35:00Christmas speech to the Queens. A thousand words, preferably uplifting in tone and Christian in
35:05sentiment, with as many references as possible to the importance of family and the sanctity of
35:10marriage. What if I don't want to? Well, I'm afraid no provisions appear to have been made
35:16for your having an opinion about that, or indeed anything else. Because of seniority, your speech
35:24will come second, at the usual time, 3 p.m. However, on Christmas morning, the Duke of Edinburgh is
35:32expected to be in Graham Land, which is in the Antarctic Peninsula, which is ten hours behind
35:36us. So he'll have to get up at the crack of dawn to make his speech. May I ask why
35:42he's making a speech?
35:43Um? Well, it's not usual, is it? No, it is extraordinary. Um, I think the feeling was that with Your
35:55Majesty and His Royal Highness having not been seen in public together so long, being at least heard
36:03together. No, I see. It might reassure people that all is still well. I wouldn't go that far, ma'am.
36:09Well, I would. And I think it's a good idea. Thank you, Michael.
36:20May I just ask, just out of curiosity, what's the longest amount of time that you and Lady
36:28Dean have been separated? Uh, three weeks, I think.
36:35I see. And would you say that you thrive, or suffer, in a separation?
36:41Well, we don't much care for it, ma'am. Helen, in particular, believes that little good comes from
36:49a couple being apart, but a husband and wife belong together. Of course.
37:01Ma'am.
37:47Ma'am.
37:48Yes, sir.
37:52What's up?
37:52Australian naval patrol boat.
37:54The Himeos Warreen has put out a distress call.
37:56They picked up a fishing boat out of power
37:58and it's drifted for days.
38:00Only one man left alive and he nearly drowned
38:01trying to fix the hull.
38:02He suffered a broken rib cage
38:03and his lung may be punctured.
38:05And the Warreen doesn't have a doctor on board.
38:07Your 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.
38:19Down to the green.
38:39Point.
38:40Up.
38:41He's coming up.
38:43Ready him.
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.
39:13We fished him out of the water floating near his boat.
39:13It doesn't matter who he is or where he's from.
39:15He was 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 as part of an official term.
39:31And to take the man back to wherever he came from would be to turn back in entirely the
39:35wrong direction.
39:37It'd take days, maybe a whole week off our important schedule.
39:40We can make that time up.
39:41Well, the man's fortunate enough we 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.
40:06We're effectively 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, but 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.
41:27After twenty eventful weeks at sea visiting five continents and covering...
41:31I am on it.
41:31Many thousands of miles.
41:34I am 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.
42:15As the Royal Yacht parts
42:33and what people
42:37what family
42:40what home
43:10should you Thursday club members ever grow tired of your colorless and empty lives in London
43:16I suggest immediate relocation to the discrete island nations nestled around Tonga
43:24surely the closest one can come to heaven on earth
43:30never have we received such a welcome
43:33or eaten so well
43:37never have I experienced such a willingness to set oneself free and enjoy
43:45and nowhere on earth and we have by this point traveled across almost every inch
43:52have we encountered such beautiful women
44:13these really have been the most remarkable few days
44:19and it is with the greatest reluctance that after three days here we tear ourselves away
44:26each of us
44:27not a little bit but a great deal
44:31in love
44:46that is your husband's handwriting isn't it
44:53you said you needed evidence
44:59that's not a royal tour that one
45:01it's a five month stag night
45:04whores in every port
45:13good luck
45:13good luck
45:18uh thank you
45:20good luck
45:29good luck
45:30good luck
46:01Happy Christmas.
46:03Happy Christmas.
46:04Hello.
46:05Happy Christmas.
46:18Happy Christmas.
46:21Happy Christmas.
46:22Happy Christmas.
46:30Happy Christmas.
46:35Written it, yes?
46:37No.
46:39I'm waiting for inspiration to strike.
46:44Might I suggest some gung-ho platitudes about Christmas in the Commonwealth?
46:49That's what they want me to say.
46:52I mean what I want to say.
46:56Right.
47:04Have you got it yet?
47:06Here it is.
47:10Graham Land, last I heard.
47:13Where's that?
47:18Dickie, where's Graham Land?
47:20No, Antarctica.
47:21Is it?
47:22Is that north?
47:23Is that south?
47:24It's north.
47:25No, don'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, Dickie?
47:35What's non-north?
47:37Come.
47:40It's time.
47:41Good.
47:52Good morning.
47:54This is Britannia.
47:56I'm speaking to you from the edge of the South Pacific.
47:5959 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.
48:19About 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, the things we take for
48:51granted.
48:51Is that really Philip?
48:53Some sort of Philip impersonator?
48:56Why?
48:57It sounds so odd.
49:00So different.
49:05And here I am almost 10,000 miles from London, surrounded by empty water.
49:14It's a fine life on board a ship, but it can be a solitary one.
49:22We are meant together.
49:24We are meant together.
49:27But we each stand alone.
49:50We can ask to tell you that they're ready for you.
49:55We 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.
50:13Now.
50:27We are ready for you, ma'am.
50:30Yes.
50:38Happy 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.
50:52Thank you, ma'am.
50:58Once again, messages of Christmas greeting have been exchanged around the world,
51:05carried 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, wherever 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...
52:53...
53:18Hey, Uwe.
53:28You alright?
53:31Fine.
53:40A 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.
54:18...
54:22...
54:32...
