00:10To Prime Minister Harold Wilson and his government today is fresh on the pound.
00:20Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:23Damage had been done by the...
00:24Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:25Britain's trade gap is a staggering 107 million pounds.
00:30It's the worst figure on record.
00:31The government said that these figures were distorted and meaningless.
00:39Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:42Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:45Where is it?
00:47About you.
00:48Tomorrow's front page, sir.
00:50Not strong enough.
00:53It's the strongest headline the Daily Mail has ever written about a Labour leader.
00:56About had guilty conscience. I don't know what it's saying.
01:25It's a sad day when the Daily Mirror, a Labour-supporting newspaper, turns against a Labour leader,
01:29like this.
01:34We've done some thinking and come up with an idea for how to deflect any further criticism.
01:39Yeah, go on.
01:41Lord Mountbatten.
01:45What's he got to do with anything?
01:46I'm sure we all agree that he's a symbol of a bygone era, of privilege and inequality, empire and extravagance.
01:53Not to mention a pompous, bloody arse.
01:55Go on.
01:56As Chief of the Defence Staff, he's refusing to make the defence cuts we need.
02:01Cuts which you promised in your election manifesto.
02:05One might even tolerate it if he weren't so...
02:08vain or crooked or power-mad.
02:12Quite.
02:14What are you proposing?
02:16That we kick him out.
02:20But at least he's busy.
02:22And inside the tent...
02:24You know, people like Mountbatten.
02:26Medallists, for want of a kind of word.
02:28Energetic, well-connected medallists.
02:29It's better that they're inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in.
02:33But he belongs to another time, Harold.
02:37Kicking him out makes economic sense and shows we're tough.
02:41And who knows?
02:42It might just buy us some good headlines.
02:47Yes, I could do with some good headlines.
02:52General salute.
02:55Pre-set.
02:58Out.
02:59Out.
03:02Out.
03:10Out.
03:16Out.
04:48Oh, they're increasing fivefold, tenfold.
04:52And the conclusion of the review is that we'd like to make a few changes, one of which is to
04:58your post of Chief of the Defense Staff.
05:02What?
05:08You kicking me out?
05:12Well, no, sir.
05:13I'm thanking you on behalf of the government, on behalf of the armed forces, on behalf of the whole country
05:18for your many years of remarkable service.
05:23You are.
05:24You're kicking me out.
05:28Well, there we are.
05:35There we are.
05:37There we are.
06:29It's absurd.
06:34But where one door closes, another opens.
06:41There is special providence in such a fall.
06:45If it be now, it is not to come.
06:46If it be not to come, it will be now.
06:49If it be not now, yet it will come.
06:52The readiness is all.
07:09What am I going to do, Barrett?
07:12You'll bounce back, sir.
07:14Before long, you'll have a hundred projects.
07:20Cake, sir.
07:31Hit, hit, hooray!
07:34Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?
07:45Should old acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne.
07:55For old lang syne, my dear, for old lang syne.
08:05We'll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne.
08:16We, too, have brought up out the hills and pulled the daisies by.
08:25For old lang syne, my dear, for old lang syne, my dear, for old lang syne.
09:05I'll go home, sir.
09:49I'll go home, sir.
09:56Yes, of course.
09:58I think there's a picture.
10:00Don't need to worry about the stairs.
10:09Pen's down, you must see.
10:15Ten minutes from Newmarket.
10:48Thank you, Cecil.
10:49How is he?
10:50As good as Newmarket.
10:56And do you really think he's recovered from his injury?
10:58Oh, I do, ma'am.
11:00Gelded, fired, well-rusted.
11:02We won't have him breaking down on us again.
11:06Any chance of seeing him on the gallops today?
11:09Oh, no, ma'am.
11:10It's too wet and muddy out there.
11:13It's been a lot like this.
11:15Hardly been able to train him at all.
11:18Well, we can't do anything about the weather.
11:23Now we come to the most anticipated race of this year's Royal Ascot meeting, the Queen Alexandra Stakes.
11:30This is Britain's longest flat race, where stamina is of the essence.
11:33And the favourite is, of course, number nine.
11:36Her Majesty's own horse, Apprentice.
11:39And they're off.
11:40With number six, Panic's in the early lead.
11:43Followed by number one, Valentine's Day.
11:44With number two, Olympic boy cleaning right down their necks.
11:47They're off the pace now as they make their start.
11:51Behind the number ten of the and as far off the leaders.
11:54But number nine, Apprentice tails behind in fitting legs.
11:58A disappointing start for last year's Yorkshire club champion.
12:02And, Panic's still ahead, but behind him, Apprentice is gaining crowns.
12:06He got the challenge from number seven by even and pulling it to four.
12:10Majesty.
12:11Majesty.
12:12Dickey, darling.
12:14Chin off vodka.
12:16Apprentice really has the look of eagles as they make the turn.
12:18And, yes, Apprentice turns up the pressure on Olympic boys.
12:21He moves into third place.
12:22And in what is a fantastic recovery from a slow start,
12:25Apprentice is now level with number two Olympic boy as they race uphill.
12:28And as they come out of the final turn, Panic leads my length of the half.
12:32But, Apprentice is coming through with a challenge.
12:34And now it's the home straight.
12:35And, Apprentice is charging down for the other side.
12:37Picking deep.
12:38Nearly.
12:38Nearly.
12:39Nearly.
12:41No, he hasn't lost.
12:42No.
12:43Apprentice is starting to struggle.
12:44Panic is holding on.
12:45He's holding his lead.
12:46And, Apprentice is falling behind as Valentine's Day pulls back in second.
12:49Olympic boy coming up from the rear.
12:51And it's a busy finish.
12:53But number six, Panic finishes first.
12:55And they're close to you by number two.
12:57I have deployed.
12:58And...
12:58What are you doing well in Portugal?
13:00You used to be at the top.
13:02Now, he barely competed.
13:04It's possible that the system set up by your late father is now a little...
13:10Obsolete.
13:12And might need, er...
13:14Kicking up.
13:16Throwing on the dust heap.
13:19if you want to keep up with the agakans of this world i would suggest you follow their lead
13:26and do what travel around the world and catch up with all the latest developments i can't just do
13:32that in case you haven't noticed i have a job to do you would only be friends not timbuktu
13:39there are experienced people who are able to deputize for you in your absence
13:52as you know this government is committed to maintaining sterling at two dollars eighty to
13:57the pound but with every economic blow the oil embargo the balance of payments deficit
14:03and the docker's union strike it's proving harder and harder to maintain
14:23and i'm afraid that now we have no alternative but to devalue the pound
14:29oh
14:31and i need hardly say it is a matter of overwhelming regret
14:36for me personally
14:39and a humiliation for the government
14:44it feels like a bad time to say that i won't be here for our meeting next week
14:49perhaps the next two weeks
14:51but queen elizabeth the queen mother will step in as councillor of state
14:55oh
14:56a role she's executed many times
15:07your majesty
15:25good evening
15:27a few days ago the cabinet took its unanimous decision to devalue the pound
15:33i can now tell you why we have taken this action
15:36and more importantly what it will mean for you
15:40from now on the pound abroad will be worth fourteen percent or so less
15:44in terms of other currencies
15:47now this does not mean of course
15:49that the pound here in britain
15:50in your pocket or your purse or your bank has been devalued
15:53what it does mean is that the goods we buy from abroad will be dearer
15:59so for many goods it will be cheaper to buy british
16:04well this devaluation has been a hard decision
16:09and some of its consequences will be hard for a time
16:14for three years this government has fought as it was our duty to fight
16:19the burden of the deficit that the previous government left us with
16:23but now is not the time to triple blame now is our chance to break free from that
16:29straitjacket seize this opportunity with both hands
16:34this is a proud nation we're out on our own now
16:38now we must choose to put britain first
17:06tonight we veterans of the burma campaign
17:10i gathered here to renew old comradeships
17:14and to remember fallen brothers
17:17again gang yong and ryan good
17:21we remember how it was fought
17:23the old way
17:25the honorable way
17:28body to body bayonet to bayonet
17:32and that swift exhilarating sweep of victory
17:35that carried us over the irrawaddy and in mandalay
17:40and there we met the japanese army
17:43and we tore it apart
17:49yes gentlemen
17:50we military men will always have our past glories to look back on
17:56but what of this new generation
17:59these young men and women for whom some of the best of us gave our lives
18:04decline
18:06irrelevance
18:07and the devaluation of pound sterling
18:11that is the sunless future that faces them
18:14for them
18:16the white heat of revolution is not a forging heat
18:20it is a melting heat
18:22it melts the silver of our battle owners
18:26and reduces to cinders the very foundation of our economy
18:30our currency
18:35so
18:37if the only glories available to this nation
18:40are its past glories
18:43then let us cherish them now
18:50come you back you british soldier
18:53come you back
18:58who will join me
19:01ship me somewhere east of sewers
19:05where the best is like the worst
19:08where there are no ten commandments
19:10and a man can raise at first
19:14for the temple bells are calling
19:16and it's there that i would be

20:24Lord Manbatton
20:25Excuse me
20:26Cecil King
20:27I hope to talk to you sir
20:29To express my sympathy
20:31At the way you've been treated by the government
20:33A shameful piece of political grandstanding
20:36And opportunism
20:37You're very kind
20:39This country needs great men more than ever
20:42To restore confidence
20:43Inspire us
20:44And perhaps even lead us out of the mire
20:47It must have been made very clear to me
20:50That my leadership days are over
20:52My colleagues and I don't believe that
20:55So not for a minute
20:57As a matter of fact
20:58We'd be delighted if you'd agree to have lunch with us
21:01At Threadneedle Street one day
21:02Bank of England
21:04We've been working on a proposal
21:06Which we'd very much like to put to you
21:13Sir
21:35Votre Majesté
21:37Bienvenue au Haradoukenet
21:40Merci monsieur Ed
21:41Mais il n'y a aucun besoin de telle formalité
21:43Dans le monde de l'élevage
21:45C'est vous qui êtes le roi
21:47Vous êtes très gentille madame
21:48Et bien indulgente
21:50Je soupçonne que vous me flattez
21:53Par là , par lÃ
21:57And of course it was
22:02Malin Commissage
22:03Who came out of the Bidangard
22:05The magnificent spayer
22:07Oh
22:07It was Grand Sire
22:09White Settler
22:10Oh that's right
22:11You had a tremendous success with it
22:13Yes, I'm a wonderful sprinter
22:16These are your stud books
22:17Indeed ma'am
22:18And I think you will find some very familiar names in there
22:22Yes, I will
22:24If I'm not mistaken
22:26This one
22:27Oh gosh yes
22:28My grandfather's one of his favourites
22:32What would you say, six months?
22:33Yes, I'd say so
22:34Nice temperament
22:36Warm blooded
22:37Not too skittish
22:38Indeed
22:39Look at her hocks
22:40Oh yes
22:41Very well
22:42Portion
22:43Excellent line to the back
22:44Yes
22:46Come here
22:54It was extraordinary
22:57Not just their facilities
22:58Their entire attitude of breeding
23:00But the fact they keep their foels and their yearlings so close
23:04Merci
23:04While we send ours off to graze in Ireland
23:09Tell me honestly
23:11Is it over?
23:12Have we slipped too far behind?
23:14Not yet ma'am
23:15But if you want to keep up
23:17You do need to act decisively now
23:20It would mean rethinking the operation from top to toe
23:23Changing the personnel
23:25Changing the approach
23:26Yes
23:26And currently there is a drain of the best British racehorses to America
23:31You have to ask yourself
23:33Why?
23:35You don't think I should go there too?
23:37Well obviously from a racing perspective it would be ideal
23:40Just for a day or two
23:42But er
23:44Won't you be needed at home?
23:46Well they've always got mummy
23:48Me being away is good for her
23:50She hates feeling old
23:51And superannuated
23:52And surplus to requirements
23:54I'm sure she's relishing being the big chief again
24:12Thank you sir
24:16Mr. King
24:20The Great Britain of our childhood is dying before us
24:25The country is bankrupt
24:26Our national security is in tatters
24:28Our allies are in despair
24:30And on our current trajectory by 1970
24:34We will be a vassal state
24:36A pariah
24:39I don't know about you sir
24:41But I'd sooner die than stand idly by and watch this happen
24:44And to that end my associates and I have come up with a plan
24:49To put the country back on track
24:52Which is?
24:55Replacing the prime minister
24:57And installing a new emergency government
25:01What?
25:02And in his place
25:03We would need to install an inspirational figurehead
25:07Someone who could unite the nation
25:09Command its respect
25:10Someone who had stepped into a national leadership role before
25:14Now there are some obvious candidates
25:17But frankly none would be as good as you sir
25:19No, no, no
25:20This is quite unthinkable
25:22At this point
25:23I should close my ears
25:28Despite my own very profound reservations
25:30Regarding our prime minister
25:32What you're talking about is effectively a coup
25:34And I can have nothing whatsoever to do with it
25:38In peacetime it's true
25:40An intervention like this would be unconstitutional
25:44But we believe this is no longer peacetime
25:48And the circumstances are unprecedented
25:51And quite exceptional
25:55Gerald
25:58In order to hijack control of the economy
26:00Wilson and his socialist colleagues have devised a plan
26:04Plan Brutus
26:06Which would strip the Bank of England of all its powers
26:10Freeze the sterling balances of foreign governments
26:13And enforce crash cuts in defence spending
26:17Bankers cannot be allowed to run the show
26:20The Bank of England has known about gold pouring out of the country since Monday
26:25And has done nothing to stop it
26:26What is our response?
26:28The imposition of exchange controls
26:30The crash cuts in defence expenditure
26:33And the compulsory acquisition of all privately held overseas securities
26:43It is an effective declaration of war
26:47On freedom, democracy and capitalism
26:51We must act now
26:54Not just to save Britain but the world
26:56We are proposing a radical revolution
27:00Led by bankers, businessmen and the armed forces
27:02Professionals who can save us from amateurism, incompetence and Russian infiltration
27:09And as our interim leader
27:12We can think of no one better than you, sir
27:27This is all very interesting
27:34May I suggest that we meet again
27:38In 48 hours
27:42Sorry
27:51With the pound down and the rest later
27:53I suppose that sums it up
27:55Evaluation of a gigantic loan that we all have to pay back
27:58Britain now finds itself looking at a complete reversal of government policy
28:02After three years of devaluation and denials
28:05House of money! House of money! House of money!
28:09Outside 10 Downing Street, protesters gathered
28:10As a reality of what a devalued power...
28:30Welcome to the Commonwealth of Kentucky, you imagine!
28:33Thank you, Mr. Hancock
28:34Please, call me Paul
28:36Sorry we don't have better weather for you
28:37Yeah, it's quite alright
28:38We like a good watery
28:39Full hand, guys
28:40Pleasure to be here
29:09Your shopping basket will hold less for the same money
29:24Water, calcium
29:41Nobody in the capital knew the rebels' intentions
29:43But plastic bomb outranges here and elsewhere showed that pro-rebel sympathizers were on the power
29:56These are veterinary students we've invited to spend time here at the farm
30:00They learned reproductive management, neonatal and foal management, herd health management
30:06What we're aiming for is better integration between our practices here at the stud
30:10And the clinical research being conducted in the wider world
30:16Remind me of the year, Portche
30:18What, 1967? Why?
30:20Because having seen what I've just seen, one might think it 2067
30:24In terms of technology and their management of the pasture
30:28And their willingness to embrace new ideas
30:30The Americans aren't just on a different level, they're on a different planet
30:34And their racing manager, wasn't he impressive?
30:37When you think about Cecil by comparison
30:38Yes, he is getting on there
30:40150?
30:42Well, not quite that, but certainly 80
30:44Dear old Cecil
30:46The Van Hur of Newmarket
30:49But he had such success with your father
30:51And grandfather
30:52You know he was wounded at the Somme
30:54Yes, so probably time for someone a little bit younger
30:58The question is, who is there?
31:00No
31:01What about Gordon Richards?
31:04He's with the wine stocks, they've never let him go
31:07Or David McCall
31:11He's good
31:13Can you honestly see him fitting in?
31:16No
31:16Try that
31:29Oh
31:30Would you ever consider it?
31:33Me?
31:33Why not?
31:35You're brilliant
31:35And you know the family inside out
31:39I'm honored
31:41But I'm also very ambitious
31:45I could never accept unless I felt sure we had every chance of success at the highest level
31:51And in terms of our research, there's still one thing that we really need to see
31:56What?
31:57They're training facilities
31:58If we're going to gain the edge, there's still a lot to learn from the Americans
32:03Portie, how much longer is that going to take?
32:07Well
32:11Yes
32:13Yes
32:15Yes
32:18Yes
32:20Yes
32:20Yes
37:04I'm not hungry no somehow today has managed to be one of the most enjoyable
37:13days of my life and at the same time one of the most depressing telephone call
37:22for you ma'am Lord Manbatten I'll call him back if I tell you something do you promise it
37:35will stay between us of course this is how I'd like to spend all my time owning horses
37:46breeding horses racing horses it's what makes me truly happy and I actually think it's what I was
37:54born to do until the other thing came along that someone else was born to do that they elected not
38:01to do which meant that first my father and then I had to do a job we were never meant
38:06to do well
38:08you've managed to make it look like the other thing is the only thing you were ever meant to do
38:16you're kind but it isn't
38:34and on days like today in places like this in company like this you get a glimpse of what it
38:44all might have been like the unlived life and how much happier it might have made me
39:02not now
39:07who did I just know slightly I should have to grovel now no it's all right he'll understand
39:13I'm so sorry your majesty yes all right I'm coming honestly only dicky
39:25yes thank you master I'll talk to you
39:54you are persistent is it really so important
39:59yes your majesty
40:01prime minister
40:05ma'am I have reason to believe there is currently a full-blown plot developing against me and the
40:12democratically elected labor government that governs in your name being led by a senior member of your
40:20family who Lord Mountbatten and that he in cahoots with Cecil King the chairman of the mirror group newspapers has
40:33been attempting to overthrow this government
40:38now I feel compelled to remind your majesty that tolerance of the royal family is hanging by a thread as
40:44it is
40:47now throughout my time in office I have done my level best to protect you
40:54but if members of the royal family were to interfere with the political business of the day I would be
41:00left with no option but to side with the republican elements of my cabinet which I have successfully controlled until
41:08now
41:11and take steps
41:16leave it with me prime minister
41:20your majesty
41:21your majesty
41:21your majesty
41:22your majesty
41:25your majesty
42:15Drink up, Portie.
42:17We're getting home.
42:34We're getting home.
42:57Lord Mountbatten, Your Majesty.
43:10Your Majesty.
43:16You asked to see me.
43:19I did.
43:20Well, great minds think alike.
43:23As it happens, I was planning to drop by myself.
43:28On a matter of great importance.
43:41I'm getting a feeling that I've not had since Dieppe.
43:46That I'm walking into a trap.
43:51I'd like to think you had that sinking feeling on another occasion recently.
43:55When going to see your friends at the Bank of England.
43:59Is it even true?
44:02Yes, I did go to lunch at the Bank of England.
44:05To meet and listen to people who are horrified by what's happening to the country.
44:10A horror I hope you share.
44:13Perhaps.
44:14But conspiring with them is not the solution.
44:17It is the beginning of a solution.
44:21Why are you doing this?
44:22Why would you protect a man like Wilson?
44:33I am protecting the Prime Minister.
44:37I am protecting the Constitution.
44:40I am protecting democracy.
44:44But if the man of the heart of that democracy threatens to destroy it,
44:48are we supposed to just stand by and do nothing?
44:50Yes.
44:52Doing nothing is exactly what we do.
44:54And bide our time.
44:56And wait for the people that voted him in to vote him out again.
44:59If indeed that is what they decide to do.
45:21I am sure you find it near impossible to do nothing.
45:24And to not have the role and the responsibilities you have always had.
45:29You were born to be busy.
45:30And to lead.
45:32But you still have a huge role to play in this family.
45:37A father figure to my husband.
45:40An uncle and a guide to me.
45:43A king to make in Charles.
45:45Not to mention a brother to your sister.
45:49When was the last time you even visited her?
45:52Cheered her up?
46:00That would be a greater service to the Crown
46:02than leading unconstitutional coups.
46:05That would be a great service to the Crown.
46:10That would be a great service to the Crown.
46:11That would be a great service to the Crown.
46:11That would be a great service to the Crown.
46:21That would be a great service to the Crown.
46:22That would be a great service to the Crown.
46:24That would be a great service to the Crown.
46:25That would be a great service to the Crown.
46:25That would be a great service to the Crown.
46:26That would be a great service to the Crown.
46:27That would be a great service to the Crown.
46:31That would be a great service to the Crown.
46:33I don't know.
47:10Nice of you to find the time.
47:12These days, I've nothing but time.
47:16And too little time.
47:30The four of us.
47:32What?
47:33The four of us.
47:37Look at us now.
47:40Only two left.
47:42You're left.
47:44Not me.
47:45I'm on the way out.
47:47Nonsense.
47:49There came a moment around the time I turned 70, when it dawned on me that I was no longer
47:57a participant, rather a spectator.
48:01I've discovered that for myself, then it's just a matter of waiting and not getting in the way.
48:20Now, I hear you have been getting in the way.
48:23I told you that.
48:25I told you that.
48:26There are no secrets in this place.
48:28Did you get a dressing down from our doubty queen?
48:34Yes, I did.
48:36Yes, I did.
48:38Oh, what's so funny?
48:40Well, that's funny.
48:42It's a little girl, the little girl, admonishing the grand old admiral of the fleet.
48:47Well, I'm glad it amuses you, because the situation this country is facing is anything but amusing.
48:57Oh.
48:58Who cares?
49:00Honestly.
49:04One of the few joys of being as old as we both are is that it's not our problem.
49:12It's not really our country, either.
49:15What are you talking about?
49:16Of course it's our country.
49:18We Battenbergs have no country.
49:23Our family might have kings and queens in its ranks, but we're mongrels too.
49:31Part German, part Greek, part nowhere at all.
49:38Well, this is my country.
49:43Gave me a home, gave me a name.
49:47And in return, I've given it my life.
49:56And to see it like this breaks my heart.
50:19Has know you got back when you are traveling, which is really small.
50:28Look, as I love you.
50:34You must sleep, sister.
50:49Princess Alice, nowhere at all.
51:08The light of the earth is raised.
52:20Don't sound so surprised.
52:21I am. It's been so long.
52:28So how was France, America?
52:32Educational.
52:35The trip was supposed to be a week. You were gone almost a month.
52:38Yes.
52:41With Portchey?
52:43Yes.
52:46Was that fun?
52:49We went on racing business. It was a fact-finding expedition.
52:54Right.
52:56If you have something to say, say it now. Otherwise, if you don't mind, I'm busy.
53:00I've heard you've appointed him as your racing manager.
53:03I have.
53:03Which means he'll be around all the time.
53:05Yes, with any luck.
53:07Good for you.
53:08Good for all of us.
53:19Good for all of us.
53:49I heard about Dickie.
53:52A coup.
53:53Yes, can you believe it?
53:57It must be hard getting old.
54:05Yes.
54:19I'll be up in a minute.
54:22Oh, will you?
54:23Yes, I thought so.
54:26Unless you'd rather I wasn't.
54:29I'll see you in a minute.
54:30If you had a chance.
