15:32you know the high tops and the ridges that's that's where you'll find it
15:38to kill a perfectly healthy breeding stack like that but commercial guests want trophies and are
15:45prepared to pay huge amounts of money and our neighbors are greedy enough to take it
15:50i have some sympathy it's business
15:54it's not business it's conservation this is what people fail to understand
16:00it's purely
16:11number five ible dibble with one dibble ible calling number four ible dibble with two

17:17number 10 ible dibble dibble with six dibble ibles
17:43what was she doing yes she was rather hopeless but i'm willing to give her the benefit of the
17:48doubt it was probably just nerves of what of the situation of where she finds herself we were we
17:54were playing parlor games having fun perhaps her idea of fun is something else entirely or she's
18:01incapable of it i wouldn't know fun if it bit on the back side well i've taken pity on her
18:07and invited
18:08her stalking tomorrow good luck with that good night oh lord you're not gonna start work now
18:21oh what choice do i have after wasting a whole evening like that oh come on a bit of harmless
18:27fun to make matters worse the queen has invited me to join the stalking tomorrow morning
18:34yes you laugh but it means i have to get ahead of the work now all right then why don't
18:42i go and sleep
18:43in the other room don't you dare i don't want to catch any upper class habits those that sleep
18:50apart grow apart it's just for one night yes that's precisely how bad habits start yeah you can stay
18:56here and well there's a book on the bedside too very well dear whatever you say
19:07hunting memoirs of valmoral castle you read that when i do this can't wait
19:145th of september 1848 a letter from prince albert to marie dowager duchess of sax coburg
19:22the rain has not stopped for one minute since we arrived but it has not prevented me
19:29naughty man from spending the whole week creeping stealthily after glorious stakes
19:53it's great
20:10it's great
20:14I'll take your dollars.
20:16Better put your money where you're...
20:28Say nothing.
20:32Prime Minister.
20:34What a lovely morning.
20:38Shall we? We're in here.
20:43Go on.
20:44I think so.
21:04I'm so glad you agreed to join us.
21:06I didn't have you down as a sportswoman.
21:09I'm not, ma'am.
21:10I'm afraid we're all madstalkers.
21:13It was how I spent some of the happiest times with my father, King George.
21:16He taught me everything.
21:17Oh, my father taught me a great deal, too.
21:20And what did you do together?
21:22We worked.
21:25Work was our play.
21:28I worked with him in our shop.
21:31As an alderman, he took me everywhere.
21:34I watched as he wrote his speeches and listened as he rushed and delivered them.
21:43It was my political baptism.
21:47How lovely of you both.
21:49Yes.
22:00Now, if you don't want to break your ankles, you should ever think about those.
22:10What size are you?
22:12Five.
22:13Where is that, Tandy?
22:14Me too.
22:21With stalking, the trick really is to disappear into nature.
22:25To preserve the element of surprise.
22:27So, next time, you might not wear a bright blue.
22:30It means the stag can see you.
22:33Or wear scent.
22:35It means he can smell you.
22:39And now he can hear you, too.
22:44I could go back and change.
22:46Oh, that's an idea.
22:47Yes, if you hurry, you could make it back in time for lunch.
22:51I'll be as quick as I can.
22:54Ma.
23:06Ah, Mary.
23:08Drive out and join them for lunch.
23:10Do we know where?
23:12I think I heard them saying they're going to the Lochmack Beach, ma'am.
23:15Ah, yes.
23:19No.
23:24What are you doing?
23:25Oh.
23:28Your Royal Highness.
23:31Aren't you supposed to be out there, stalking?
23:34Yes, I was, but your sister...
23:36No, you don't call her that. You call her the Queen.
23:38She's the Queen.
23:39Not my sister.
23:42In that chair.
23:43No one sits in that chair.
23:46Oh, I beg your pardon.
23:47God, don't say that either.
23:48Say what?
23:50Begging for anything is desperate.
23:53Begging for pardon is common.
23:56That chair.
23:57No one sits in that chair.
24:00It's Queen Victoria's chair.
24:03Oh.
24:03Oh.
24:04And you do realize this is supposed to be a bank holiday.
24:09Yes.
24:09Although it is hard to have a holiday when the country is in its current state.
24:15Hmm.
24:16The country has been in a state before.
24:18It will doubtless be in a state again.
24:20One learns, when one has the benefit of experience, that sometimes time off is the most sensible course of action.
24:28Well, I'm not best suited to time off.
24:33It gives me no pleasure.
24:37It might give you something more important than that.
24:42Perspective.
24:45Oh no.
24:47Oh no.
24:52Oh no.
24:53Oh no.
25:03Oh no.
25:05Oh no!
25:07Oh no!
25:08What!
25:09How was that?
25:10Can I get it now, Pony?
25:16is there nothing i can say that might persuade you to come for the weekend
25:20why i have no place up there and i'm busy anyway doing what what is so important that you decline
25:27an invitation from the heir to the throne being a mother and a wife that's never stopped you
25:33before now now it's true you need to find yourself a young woman who's free to be where you want
25:40when
25:40you want is willing to give up her whole life for you like this new one i'm diana spencer might
25:50in chief
25:51at the bell i don't see that i'd much rather hear how jealous you are i would be but
26:02it's not helpful is it given the situation we find ourselves in what's now required of you
26:12i'm serious you should ring her and see what
26:18i can't stop thinking about you i can't bear to wait the whole summer before seeing you
26:25any chance you could drop everything and come up to scotland now
26:36you
26:44.
26:44.
26:53.
26:53.
26:53.
26:53.
26:53.

27:04members of mrs thatcher's cabinet have expressed their alarm at new figures showing a sharp rise
27:09in the rate of unemployment unions are blaming the increase on the continued commitment to a
27:15policy of wide-ranging spending cuts this is now a very worrying situation indeed we have the most
27:21incompetent and radical labor opposition that should be in the wilderness now snapping at our
27:27heels no one would doubt the strength of the prime minister's convictions but what we need is a mature
27:33and more experienced leader who shares our values the danger is we have a prime minister whose
27:40inexperience whose unwillingness to recognize that our policy is failing might very well lead us over
27:46the cliff edge i think that many in cabinet will now be asking if it isn't time for a change
27:53prompting him a skeptic about mrs thatcher's property
28:16next up becomes mark watson from jennera current record holder for the hammered rule
28:22here in jennera he's gonna meet frank steward from philips just back then you're gonna have to
28:28name for the hammering what am i doing here miles from westminster miles from reality wasting precious
28:41time and some half scottish half germanic cuckoo land here's google boy gary mcmill crackle here we go
29:00And I'm struggling to find any redeeming features
29:03in these people at all before.
29:09They aren't sophisticated or cultured
29:12or elegant or anything close to an ideal, but...
29:16Boorish, snobbish and rude?
29:19Yes, D.T.
29:21Just like those patronizing bullies within my own cabinet.
29:27All members of a certain class or notice.
29:31Well, if this country really is to turn the corner,
29:36then I say it needs to change fundamentally.
29:40Top to bottom.
30:06And I say it.
30:07Oh, my God.
30:10All right.
30:10All right.
30:11All right.
30:20what happened there was a crisis apparently oh life in post-war britain there's been one long
30:27painful uninterrupted crisis but no matter how bad things got none of the other prime ministers
30:33left early no one could scarcely get rid of them hmm so how come this one can't get away fast
30:40enough perhaps we weren't very friendly what are you talking about i i was incredibly friendly i
30:47positively gushed
31:06who's that
31:15hello granny
31:20i hope i don't need to tell you how fortunate you are to have been invited here
31:25how unique an opportunity this is or how much is potentially at stake for our family
31:32it's just a weekend the most important weekend of your life
31:51well the prince of wales has kindly promised to take me fishing i'm hoping it'll be my first time
31:56in scotland when i managed to catch something other than a cold i can't give up is this one
32:02a friend friend or a girlfriend in the balance i think hence the invitation up here to see if she
32:08i was very quickly that wasn't right
32:15very good not that i've ever had much more luck with a gun
32:21so
32:25um
33:09Good morning, ma'am. 5.30.
33:12His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh has requested you accompany him stocking this morning.
33:18Gosh.
33:21All right.
33:22Will you be needing anything?
33:25Like what?
33:26I just thought, in case you have no outdoor shoes.
33:30Only brought outdoor shoes.
33:48I apologise for the early start.
33:51But there's a reason I asked you to join me this morning.
33:54It's great excitement ripping the house open.
33:58Oh, yes, the stag.
33:59It's all anyone could talk about at dinner last night.
34:02I don't mean about the stag.
34:05I mean about you.
34:08I thought this might be a time for us to get to know one another.
34:31You sure this isn't too wet?
34:32No, I love a good watering.
34:34You don't mind a bit of mud?
34:36Muckier the better.
34:37I'm a country girl at heart.
34:41Good.
34:41I think I've had a time for my Peanut.
34:54I don't know.
34:55So, you like me.
35:01I don't think you do the sun.
35:02I don't know what your Peanut 37 years' Quanys said to me.
35:03Oh, listen.
35:03Oh, dear.
35:11Let's do this one.
35:35So I suppose I must have seen you growing up on the estate at Sandringham
35:39when you lived in the cottage there.
35:41Yes, sir.
35:42Where do you live now?
35:43London.
35:44Earl's Court.
35:45In a flat with three girlfriends.
35:48I'm the bossy landlady.
35:49Are you bossy?
35:50I like things to be neat and tidy.
35:52Quite right.
35:52So do I.
35:53Does that come from the army, sir?
35:56The Navy.
35:57And I'm the one asking the question, sir.
35:59Sorry.
36:19Is that what you do all day?
36:21Be a landlady?
36:50Oh, no, sir.
36:52Does that make me tragic?
36:53No.
36:53It makes you fascinating.
36:54I can't want you to discuss it further.
36:56Sir.
36:57What?
36:58Look.
36:59Oh, yes.
37:01Oh, yes.
37:03Oh, yes.
37:18Oh, yes.
37:21Oh, no!
37:35Should we try and get closer?
37:37No. We'll never get another chance.
37:45We have one shot at this.
37:59Where's the wind coming from, the right?
38:03It's the left, sir.
38:07What?
38:08Well, look at the clouds.
38:12It's swelling.
38:16I see the right.
38:19It's the left.
38:39Good shot, sir.
38:41Was it from the left?
38:43It's the right.
38:53It's the right one.
39:03It's either hard to make the right of my heart.
39:03It's the right.
41:07Thank you so much for coming.
41:09Has it been awful?
41:10Not at all, sir.
41:11It's been heavenly.
41:12No one has ever said that after their first visit to this place.
41:14But it has been.
41:17You weren't put off by all the scrutiny.
41:18My family's just as bad.
41:20Anyone new, everyone tortures them trying to catch them out.
41:26I'll get all the reports tomorrow.
41:29You let me know if I passed.
41:31I'm sure you have.
41:33The distinction.
41:40You've been a great sport.
42:08So, how's it going up there?
42:10You don't want to know.
42:12I do, actually.
42:15Torture me.
42:23She's a triumph.
42:27In the history of Balmoral, no one has ever passed a test with such flying colors.
42:36Well, well, well.
42:37Rave reviews from the whole ghastly Politburo.
42:43Anne.
42:44Papa.
42:46Marga.
42:47Mummy.
42:49Granny.
42:58Then I was summoned for a conversation with the power in the hanging room where,
43:02oblivious to the grotesque symbolism,
43:06might as well have been me strung up and skinned.
43:09Have you asked to see me?
43:14Diana Spencer.
43:16What have I, sir?
43:17made the family position painfully clear.
43:34They want me to marry her.
43:39Gosh.
43:40Yes.
43:44She really was a triumph.
43:48I suppose this was always going to happen.
43:51The right one was always going to come along.
43:53But is she the right one?
43:55Is anyone actually asking themselves that?
44:01She's a child.
44:02I'm sorry.
44:16I'm sorry.
44:18I'm sorry.
44:23I'm sorry.
44:26I'm sorry.
44:32I don't feel enough.

47:11summer is such a blessing. I'm always mystified by those that don't feel at
47:15home at Balmoral. Some people just don't. They come and are bewildered by it, by
47:21the weather and traditions. They see only cruelty in the bloodsports instead of
47:26kindness or necessity. But there have been bloodsports here too, I notice. You
47:32have a brand new cabinet. I have. Mostly older ministers that were culled. Yes,
47:37although it wasn't just their age that decided it. Rather... Their background,
47:44mostly, and lack of grit as a consequence of their privilege and entitlement.
47:55Always a mistake to assume just because people are privileged, they lack grit. And a dangerous
48:01game, I think, to make enemies left, right and centre. Not if one is comfortable with
48:06having enemies. Are you? Oh, yes. Inspired by the words of the chartist
48:13poet Charles Mackay. You have no enemies, you say. Alas, my friend, the boast is poor.
48:24He who is mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure must have made foes. If you
48:32have none, small is the work that you have done. You've hit no traitor on the hip. You've dashed
48:42no cup from perjured lip. You've never turned the wrong to right. You've been a coward in the fight.
49:02Good evening. Well, so now we know. Three cabinet ministers sat, the cabinet changes and a long list of promotions
49:09and demotions in the junior ranks. Mrs. Thatcher
49:12is well and truly shuffled her cabinet. Well, in a moment, we'll be looking... Ah!
49:21Eeyore! I came to see how you were getting on. I'll be fine.
49:25Couldn't you be a bit more than fine just once? After a selection process that involved half of Britain, you
49:32somehow
49:32stumbled on the perfect one in age, looks and breeding. Or have you managed to find fault even in perfection?
49:40No. She is undeniably gorgeous. Those legs. Cow.
49:51And appropriate. Well, then.
49:58I just wish I'd had more time. What for? To find out who she is. We hardly know one another.
50:05There'll be plenty of time for that later. That's what everyone keeps saying.
50:09There'll be plenty of time for that later. Just get on with it. I concur.
50:22What does you know who say? Depressingly, she's all for it. Of course she is. Everyone's all for it
50:32because everyone understands it's time to finally close this chapter. To put the whole Parker Bowles
50:40soap opera behind us. All of us. For good.
50:49Yes. Oh, was that a smile? It will be soon.
50:58Don't fight it. She's perfect.
51:03She even got the steak, damn her.
51:11It must be written in the stars.
51:13Let's go.
