00:01:02Half a million people
00:01:06At a racecourse
00:01:11Next to the coronation, your sister
00:01:14Is now the most famous woman in the world
00:01:18Yes
00:01:23I'm the luckiest
00:01:27Not on our romantic trip to Reducia
00:01:30Official duty to Reducia
00:01:32With the man I love
00:01:34Secretly love
00:01:36I will be the happiest
00:01:52I've got a story, Chief
00:01:54It's important
00:01:55As long as it's not about the royal family
00:01:57Bill, I'm all ears
00:01:58It is about the royal family, Chief
00:01:59Oh, let me guess
00:02:01Our thanks to one beautiful young woman
00:02:03One short televised ceremony
00:02:06Oh, thank you, Bob
00:02:07A tired, anachronistic institution
00:02:10Is rejuvenated
00:02:11A nation is liberated
00:02:13From the austerity of rationing and war
00:02:15Our place as a leading power in the world
00:02:18Is re-established just when it seemed to be slipping
00:02:20What a load of bollocks
00:02:21Snifter?
00:02:23I shouldn't
00:02:23Oh, go on
00:02:24It's nearly lunchtime
00:02:25Papers, sir
00:02:26Thanks, Mary
00:02:27My job
00:02:28It's Princess Margaret
00:02:29What about her?
00:02:31Leaving the abbey on the day of the coronation
00:02:33I saw her picking a piece of fluff off a man's uniform
00:02:36Fluff?
00:02:38Yes, fluff
00:02:39Jesus, Bill
00:02:39I thought we did serious reporting here
00:02:41This is serious
00:02:42Because the man in question
00:02:44Her father's former query group captain Peter Townsend
00:02:48Is a commoner
00:02:49And, wait for it
00:02:51A divorced commoner
00:02:54Historically
00:02:55When this lot brush up against divorce
00:02:57You end up with either reformation or abdication
00:02:59Will church and state clash again?
00:03:02It's a big story
00:03:03So are comet jet planes dropping out of the sky
00:03:06Stalin's death ushering in a power reshuffle in the Soviet Union
00:03:10Then write it up, Chief
00:03:12I've got a feeling about this one
00:03:13Based on what?
00:03:19What are you doing, man?
00:03:20Picking fluff off a man's jacket
00:03:23That's a gesture as intimate as a kiss
00:03:26More intimate
00:03:26Since it suggests the kiss has already happened
00:03:31No, I'm sorry, Bill
00:03:32I can't hold the front page for a bit of fluff
00:03:34Let me write it, Chief
00:03:36Then you decide
00:03:44Make sure it's peppery
00:03:46Make sure it pops
00:03:47Yes, sir
00:03:48No, no
00:03:49No, no
00:03:56Let's just pass
00:03:56No, no
00:04:03I can't call it
00:04:18Goody

00:06:43Hello, you.
00:06:44Hello, you.
00:06:47Sir, I was wondering if you had a free evening soon where we all might have dinner together.
00:06:51Before I go to Redisia.
00:06:52I'm sure I do.
00:06:53Thursday?
00:06:55Thursday?
00:06:55Mummy's out.
00:06:56I'd have to check.
00:06:58Lovely.
00:06:59And who's us all?
00:07:02Well, you and me and Philip and, um...
00:07:06And I would like to bring Peter, if I may.
00:07:09What, Peter, Peter?
00:07:11Yes, Peter.
00:07:14Oh.
00:07:14What does that mean, O?
00:07:16Nothing.
00:07:17Oh, how nice.
00:07:20Is there something we'd like to discuss with you?
00:07:22Eh?
00:07:24There you go again.
00:07:25Sorry.
00:07:26Are you going to be given a clue?
00:07:29No.
00:07:31No.
00:07:32Stop it.
00:07:33Sorry.
00:07:35So, Thursday evening, then, you'll check.
00:07:37Fine.
00:07:43It'll be such fun.
00:07:46Lovely.
00:07:51Lovely.
00:07:53Lovely.
00:08:04There you are.
00:08:07Here we are.
00:08:09Sir?
00:08:11Lovely.
00:08:13Sir?
00:08:27What's your name?
00:08:33Thank you, gentlemen.
00:08:34Thank you very much, gentlemen.
00:08:41A special guest joins us this afternoon,
00:08:43who's just returned from a year in post-revolutionary Cairo,
00:08:47working as a photojournalist.
00:08:49Our fellow lunch club member, Tony Long.
00:08:52Oh, my God!
00:08:56Thank you, chaps.
00:08:57It's very nice to be back, I must say.
00:08:59Ladies, might we close the shutters?
00:09:02Lovely.
00:09:03Thank you, sir.
00:09:05Thank you, sir.
00:09:06Lovely.
00:09:08I am, as Baron says, fresh from the streets of Cairo,
00:09:13and I'm still trying to digest the hurricane of popular uprising,
00:09:17violent military coup and revolution that I've just witnessed.
00:09:21Bloody native.
00:09:22You all know King Farouk.
00:09:25Colourful character.
00:09:26He owned more than 100 cars.
00:09:29Almost as much as me.
00:09:31Had them all painted red.
00:09:33Splendid.
00:09:34He used to race them through the streets of Cairo,
00:09:36shooting at any pedestrians who happened to get in his way.
00:09:39Yeah.
00:09:40Present suit.
00:09:43Probably why he was forced to abdicate last year.
00:09:47And now this man, Nasser, is the name on everyone's lips.
00:09:53He has the charisma to unite not just his own country,
00:09:56but the entire Arab world,
00:09:58stirring up anti-Western, anti-monarchical sentiments.
00:10:07This is Shepard's.
00:10:10A famous British hotel.
00:10:12A symbol of colonial rule.
00:10:16Before riots.
00:10:20And after.
00:10:23That writing, what does it say?
00:10:29Death to the imperialists.
00:10:35However, it's not all doom and gloom.
00:10:37Mike, I've got something a little special for you here.
00:10:41That's what I'm talking about.
00:11:04Thank you, sir.

00:14:10you being more and more occupied peter's become almost my sole companion and i his
00:14:21and um so when his divorce came through in uh december last year i suppose it was only natural that
00:14:26we both
00:14:27started thinking about what kind of
00:14:31um future
00:14:33we might have together

00:17:09but you didn't think to mention it
00:17:15i don't like it
00:17:17any of it
00:17:18for one thing
00:17:18it will create the most enormous scandal
00:17:20nor do i believe in them as a couple
00:17:22he's too old for her
00:17:24and he had some sort of breakdown during the war
00:17:27now that's all in the past
00:17:28besides
00:17:29that's why he got on with my father so well
00:17:32not to mention the fact he's dull
00:17:34he's not dull
00:17:36desperately dull
00:17:36i'm confident i've met more interesting plants
00:17:40not to mention it's a terrible thing to do to you
00:17:43why
00:17:45because of the position it puts you in as a
00:17:47as a sister
00:17:47and as a queen
00:17:49has everyone forgotten the catastrophe
00:17:51that was your uncle already
00:17:53the situation's different
00:17:55one party divorced
00:17:57the other royal
00:18:00sounds pretty similar to me
00:18:01that was 17 years ago
00:18:03the world has changed
00:18:05the rest of the world has
00:18:07nothing changes in the court of st james
00:18:10besides
00:18:11we have a son and heir
00:18:13there's no realistic prospect of margaret becoming queen
00:18:19one can see the attraction
00:18:24in peter
00:18:26yes
00:18:28he's a handsome war hero
00:18:31divorced war hero
00:18:32and blameless in that divorce
00:18:35no no no there's no such thing as the blameless party in a divorce
00:18:39his wife had an affair with another man
00:18:42because he was always around here sniffing around your sister
00:18:45he was looking after my father
00:18:47and sniffing around your sister
00:18:50sorry
00:18:53i thought you liked him
00:18:55oh liked him i mean
00:18:57i respect him for what he did in the war certainly
00:19:01plays bridgewell and he's a good pilot
00:19:05and he's a good influence on margaret
00:19:07is he
00:19:08if he were really a good influence
00:19:09he'd patch things up with his wife
00:19:11and leave margaret well alone
00:19:28good night bill
00:19:31good night
00:19:56good night
00:19:59this had better be good
00:20:02it is
00:20:07bloody hell
00:20:08you did say peppery
00:20:10pepper's one thing
00:20:11this is jelly night
00:20:13i know
00:20:22what you doing
00:20:23i can't run this without going upstairs
00:20:25what
00:20:26don't look at me like that
00:20:27live in the real bloody world for a moment will you
00:20:32marjorie hello
00:20:33yes
00:20:34is he there
00:20:35yeah just for a few minutes
00:20:40this is not just inflammatory
00:20:42it breaks all the rules
00:20:44what rules sir
00:20:45the unspoken rules of deference and respect shown by the media to the royal family
00:20:51but surely those rules changed the moment they invited television into the coronation
00:20:55that was their right and a huge concession
00:20:58to what popular interests
00:21:00their interest also
00:21:02look at their standing now it's never been higher
00:21:05the question we in the fourth estate need to be asking ourselves is
00:21:09do we let ourselves be used
00:21:11or do we have our own independent voice
00:21:13don't get moralistic with me
00:21:15if we don't break this story do you think nobody else will
00:21:18i know there's plenty of others sniffing around it sir
00:21:29well thank you for letting me know
00:21:31of course tommy
00:21:32thank you for understanding
00:21:35i'm sorry
00:21:36no i'm sorry
00:21:38i imagine it must be difficult being dictated to like that by an employee
00:21:42i wasn't dictated to
00:21:43am i missing something
00:21:44you said this editor was telling you what he was going to print in your newspaper
00:21:49he is
00:21:50but i can't keep telling him what to write
00:21:53i thought that was the point of owning a newspaper
00:21:56look i'm just trying to help you tommy
00:21:58i suggest you see this for the kind gesture that it is
00:22:02what that you're about to print an article that will cause deep distress to senior
00:22:07let's be quite clear the most senior members of the royal family
00:22:11that i'm warning you
00:22:12that i'm giving you the heads up
00:22:15i'm on my knees with gratitude
00:22:57i'm on my knees with gratitude
00:23:06i'm on my knees with gratitude
00:23:38your majesty
00:23:40a story
00:23:41is about to break in the press
00:23:44identifying peter townsend not just as the companion of princess margaret
00:23:52but as her likely future husband
00:23:56we understand that the paper is to feature a profile of group captain townsend
00:24:04details of his marriage and subsequent divorce
00:24:08along with an editorial
00:24:10about other notable divorcees to have been associated with members of the royal family
00:24:26should we deny it all
00:24:28should we deny it all
00:24:31with respect ma'am it's a little late for that this horse has already bolted
00:25:00her majesty the queen for you your royal highness on the telephone
00:25:11hello
00:25:12hello you bad time good time
00:25:15good time always look i've been racking my brain about how i can best help you
00:25:22well
00:25:23now you know that the church of england doesn't permit the remarriage of divorced persons if
00:25:27the husband or wife of the former marriage is still alive
00:25:29yes
00:25:30well i was just wondering if you and peter had considered scotland
00:25:34not to live
00:25:36no for the wedding
00:25:37why
00:25:39because it would be more low profile
00:25:40well actually i was thinking of legal reasons
00:25:44marriage isn't regarded as a sacrament in the church of scotland
00:25:47it's not as binding
00:25:48it's not as binding in the same way as here
00:25:52meaning
00:25:53meaning we could even get married in a church
00:25:55well i'd have to check but i think so
00:25:59that would be so lovely
00:26:02Lilibet thank you so much
00:26:05made my life a lot easier too
00:26:12sorry Lilibet
00:26:13what for
00:26:16i think you're going to get a visit from mummy about all this
00:26:19oh
00:26:21i realise i'm not making anyone's life easy
00:26:25yours especially
00:26:28but i'm determined to do this for you
00:26:31to give you what you want
00:26:34thank you
00:26:37can't wait to tell peter
00:26:39better go
00:26:55help me
00:26:56come on step
00:26:56come on step
00:27:19this is a surprise
00:27:25i am a mother of two daughters whom i love equally it seems that they each have problems
00:27:32of equal size obviously we want margaret to be happy and have the man she wants yes but
00:27:42we must do everything in our power to protect you as queen and as a sister protect me from what
00:27:51i've given margaret my word and i'm determined to support her they can marry in scotland where
00:27:58i'm not head of the church your majesty i fear the matter is more intricate let's be quite
00:28:04clear if margaret were to marry peter it would be a scandal you don't mistake your current
00:28:11popularity for long-term security your uncle's affair and abdication almost destroyed the
00:28:19monarchy this good
00:28:25tommy
00:28:33ma'am what do you know about the royal marriages act of 1772
00:28:38george the second third ma'am he had two younger brothers william and henry
00:28:44both of whom i'm assuming made undesirable marriages one to an illegitimate shrew the
00:28:49other to a disreputable jade which caused an outrage in parliament and the church now in
00:28:55response george the third asked his prime minister lord north to rush through a royal marriages act to
00:29:02prevent any future willful young prince or princess from making an ill-advised or disadvantageous match
00:29:10which might threaten the integrity of the royal house it decrees that until the age of 25
00:29:15any member of the royal family must secure the sovereign's permission to marry
00:29:25but but not thereafter
00:29:30i see so if margaret would wait until after her 25th birthday she would be free to make any decision
00:29:39she likes without your consent the important thing is it protects your relationship with both church and
00:29:48government well i can see the advantages of that but what's in it for her mommy she's only 23
00:29:57what does she do in the meantime
00:30:01in the meantime she and peter wait
00:30:06preferably in separate countries what
00:30:10it's the only way to contain the story ma'am
00:30:28thank you sir
00:30:46out of my way
00:30:58um
00:31:00um
00:31:19Margaret, no!
00:31:25Margaret!
00:31:30Just until your 25th birthday. Then you'd be free to do as you wish.
00:31:35Look with the eye and tell me. Is it a posting or is it a banishment?
00:31:39It's a posting. I promise.
00:31:44It's just a way of managing the story, keeping it off the front pages.
00:31:48The heartless attempt to split us up.
00:31:50No, of course not. Papa did the same for Philip and me. He made us wait.
00:31:55This is for two months. This is for two years.
00:31:58Two years!
00:32:07Why did you even dangle Scotland under my nose?
00:32:15Sorry.
00:32:41All right.
00:32:45If I do this for you, will you promise me that this banishment...
00:32:51This banishment won't start until after I took to Adesia.
00:32:53You know how much we've been looking forward to it.
00:33:01You're going to deny that as well.
00:33:04It's a sensitivity of you two together.
00:33:07The photographers who would overshadow everything.
00:33:10But...
00:33:12When you get back...
00:33:14You'll have some time together.
00:33:16Alone.
00:33:18I promise you that.
00:33:20If you want to survive having to leave a...
00:33:36I don't have any other Druidsément.
00:33:38To be a mate, this will only be great.
00:33:38This legend...
00:33:38To be one of my...
00:33:41A spouse...
00:33:59they offered me johannesburg i refused then singapore
00:34:07i refused that too
00:34:11they came back with brussels
00:34:15it's dreary but at least it's close the whole thing feels like a completely unnecessary
00:34:22unjustifiable punishment i know
00:34:26perhaps your sister sensed that
00:34:29that is why she's asked me to go to normal island
00:34:32what for
00:34:34to accompany her on a trip to belfast this week
00:34:36to put on a show of public approval
00:34:40that's something i suppose
00:34:45no substitute for a doozy though
00:34:53no one wanted philip
00:34:58she dug her heels in got the man she wanted didn't she
00:35:04she did
00:35:11we ought to head back
00:35:14come on
00:35:15no wait
00:35:16kiss me
00:35:29you know we'll be able to back at the house
00:35:30the
00:35:41you
00:36:03Your majesty, just to run through the order of the day.
00:36:09Yes.
00:36:09We'll be met at the airport by the governor of Northern Ireland, Lord Wakehurst.
00:36:15From there, we'll be going to the Belfast city boundary to be met by the lieutenant of the city of
00:36:20Belfast.
00:36:21After that, we'll be presented to the Lord Mayor, Alderman Percival Brown, and the town clerk, Mr. John Dunmore, followed
00:36:30by a city luncheon at a civic hall.
00:36:33The other way around, I think.
00:36:36Ma'am.
00:36:38A civic luncheon at City Hall.
00:36:46Forgive me.
00:36:48Is everything all right?
00:36:52I do hope it wasn't a mistake inviting the group captain to join us.
00:37:00You've never cared for him, Tommy.
00:37:01No, I cared for him as long as he did his job and knew his place.
00:37:06My father held him in high regard.
00:37:09He's a member of staff, not as a member of the family.
00:37:14He's been a good friend to us all.
00:37:16Too good, I would argue.
00:37:18And he let his wife go in the process.
00:37:22He was innocent in that regard.
00:37:25She left of her own accord, and he's a wonderful father to those boys.
00:37:29I'm just trying to manage a difficult situation, ma'am.
00:37:33As am I.
00:37:35Sending him away will break my sister's heart.
00:37:38Hearts mend.
00:37:43Or is there anything else?
00:37:47No.
00:37:48I understand.
00:37:49Yeah?
00:37:49No.
00:37:51No.
00:38:01No.
00:38:04No.
00:38:07No.

00:42:56Do you have a moment, Lillivet?
00:43:02Yes, of course.
00:43:08I just wanted to apologize for all the press' attention.
00:43:13And to thank you for inviting me along in the first place.
00:43:17I do appreciate the gesture.
00:43:20That's the least I could do.
00:43:22I regretted having to take you off the Radita trip.
00:43:25Yes, Margaret and I were so looking forward to it.
00:43:27We have so many shared interests, as you know.
00:43:29We enjoy doing everything together.
00:43:36We had hoped to find some time together during our days off,
00:43:40walking, swimming, riding.
00:43:46But not to be.
00:43:52No.
00:43:59Anyway, nice chatting.
00:44:08Ma'am, if you wouldn't mind.
00:44:15Just wondering if Her Majesty has had a time to think about the matter.
00:44:19No.
00:44:22She has.
00:44:26Take care of it, Tommy.
00:44:28Whatever manner you see fit.
00:44:32Yes, ma'am.
00:44:33No.
00:44:36No.
00:44:49No.
00:44:50No.
00:45:08Thank you so much, Peter.
00:45:30Thank you so much, Peter.
00:45:50Group Captain Townsend, the man of the moment, do come up.
00:46:12Will you sit?
00:46:24Following consultation with the government, the Foreign Office and Her Majesty's Press Secretary,
00:46:30the decision's been taken to move forward your posting to Brussels with immediate effect.
00:46:35The car is waiting to take you first to your apartment, where you will pack, and then directly to the
00:46:40airfield.
00:46:41The plane from Brussels leaves in just under three hours.
00:46:45There was some concern that that might not give you enough time,
00:46:48but I felt sure that as a military man, packing quickly and unsentimentally would come a second nature to you.
00:46:59Well, but that isn't what was agreed.
00:47:03The agreement between Margaret and Her Majesty the Queen, with the certain knowledge of Her Majesty the Queen Mother,
00:47:09was that Margaret and I would spend some time together upon her return from Rhodesia,
00:47:14before I traveled to Brussels, 48 hours at least.
00:47:18Your proposal is a direct contravention of that agreement.
00:47:23Well, I cannot, nor do I ever presume, to know the intimate details of whatever agreements have or have not
00:47:31been made within the family.
00:47:33What I can tell you is that the position of Air Attaché at the Embassy fell vacant unexpectedly early and
00:47:39needs filling right away.
00:47:41Of course, a crucial position like the Air Attaché to the Embassy at Brussels cannot be left vacant for very
00:47:49long.
00:47:50I ask, only that it remains so until after the Princess returns, as I was promised.
00:48:00I'm afraid that will not be possible.
00:48:19Tommy, I understand you are only trying to do your job.
00:48:23But one thing the trip to Northern Ireland has made very clear to me
00:48:27is that the romance between Margaret and myself has caught the public eye.
00:48:33There is a momentum for us.
00:48:37A sense of joy, a celebration which you would be wise to acknowledge.
00:48:41The people can clearly see the sincerity of the love between Margaret and me,
00:48:46and I would advise you not to reprehend us for that.
00:48:50Such an act could backfire.
00:48:52And now, if I may give you some advice in turn, Peter,
00:48:58that when referring to a member of the royal family,
00:49:01you use the appropriate title, in this case, Her Royal Highness.
00:49:05When referring to the woman I love, and who loves me,
00:49:08and who is soon to be my wife, I'll call her what I damn well like.
00:49:12Her name is Margaret.
00:49:17Car, Townsend.
00:49:20Waiting.
00:49:24Tick, tick, tick.
00:49:34Bon voyage.
00:49:45A tiny white community surrounded by primitive Africans
00:49:51grew into a young and flourishing nation
00:49:57with the ever-brightening promise of more prosperity before it.

00:50:44We honour a man of remarkable vision, who saw how great this land could become once civilised.
00:50:57I wish continued prosperity and success to all those who inhabit it.
00:51:11Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the loyal church.
00:51:16Telegram for Princess Margaret.
00:51:18The Queen!
00:51:19To the Queen!
00:52:00I need to speak to my sister.
00:52:02No!
00:52:16Switchboard.
00:52:18Her Royal Highness needs to make an urgent call to Her Majesty the Queen.
00:52:21A secure line will be required.
00:52:23Putting you through.
00:52:25Foreign Office, her mayor, direct your call.
00:52:28Buckingham Palace, Victoria 4832.
00:52:33I have Her Royal Highness the Princess Margaret for Her Majesty the Queen.
00:52:36Sir.
00:52:39Sir.
00:52:42Princess Margaret for Her Majesty the Queen on a secure line.
00:52:47Of course.
00:52:48What's taking so long?
00:52:49Well, I gather we have the secure line, ma'am.
00:52:51They're just having trouble locating Her Majesty.
00:52:53It could be so difficult.
00:52:54She's the Queen.
00:52:55Very conspicuous.
00:52:57She can't disappear.
00:52:57She can't stand here.
00:52:58Well.
00:52:59Everywhere.
00:53:19I'm being detained during aacre.
00:53:20...streparable.
00:53:25...who hippies have beenardely, a eternal thought.
00:53:27And...
00:53:27Beautiful and Grey.
00:53:27A Realm at compatriot.
00:53:29Sandringham House, good evening.
00:53:32Yes, sir, she's here.
00:53:34Arrived about an hour ago.
00:53:38Yes, sir, right away.
00:53:41May I?
00:53:55Ma'am, I've located the queen.
00:54:05But we're really trying not to let this happen again.
00:54:08Well, I think he's a little bit inexperienced.
00:54:11With the trucking?
00:54:12Yes, I do.
00:54:14Telephone, your majesty.
00:54:15Right.
00:54:16Yes, I'd like you to skip recorded for the first quarter mile for a morning.
00:54:19Yes, ma'am.
00:54:22And then we might have to think about pairing him with another rider.
00:54:25Yes, ma'am.
00:54:27Yes?
00:54:28How could you?
00:54:30Margaret.
00:54:30You gave me a word.
00:54:32Promised me he'd still be there when I got back.
00:54:34I did.
00:54:34Why is he been sent away?
00:54:36Banished like some criminal.
00:54:38Things got out of hand.
00:54:40I took you at your word.
00:54:42Believed everything you said.
00:54:44How happy you were for me.
00:54:46How you would support us.
00:54:48Margaret.
00:54:49You've been against us from the beginning.
00:54:50Because you can't bear to be eclipsed.
00:54:52What?
00:54:53You can't bear to be outshone by your younger sister.
00:54:56You've never liked it.
00:54:57Admit it.
00:54:59And you've hated our Peter and I've caught the popular imagination.
00:55:01Hated it enough to want to destroy it.
00:55:03This is madness.
00:55:04Well.
00:55:06You fail to protect me.
00:55:08I will fail to protect you in turn.
00:55:11Margaret.
00:55:14You reap what you sow, sister.
00:55:25I don't know.
00:55:55I don't know.
00:56:21I don't know.
00:56:21Few other countries in the world retain such regard for their monarchies.
00:56:26But are those centuries of awe drawing to an end?
00:56:31Can that veneration be sustained in the light of the royal family's cruelty to its very own members?
00:56:41The royal family of Britain has survived a thousand proofs that it is artificial and superfluous and seems to have
00:56:52as deep a hold as ever on the loyalties of the people.
00:56:57It is not likely, however, to survive the clear proof that it is insensate and cruel.
00:57:06Fuck!
00:57:10Her treatment to her sister has now deputized the future of the monarchy in Britain.
00:57:23In 48 hours it would have passed.
00:57:27If you were lucky.
00:57:28I fear it would take longer than that for Margaret to forgive me.
00:57:31Well, she will in time.
00:57:32She has to.
00:57:35We all have to.
00:57:42Ah!
00:57:43Majesty.
00:57:44Be right with you.
00:57:45Hello, Mike.
00:57:46Where are you going?
00:57:47I told you, I was away for the weekend.
00:57:49Did you?
00:57:50Baron's having a house party.
00:57:51Who's Baron?
00:57:53Baron Nahum.
00:57:54President of our lunch club.
00:57:58Don't look like that.
00:57:59It's a gentleman only, right?
00:58:00Absolutely.
00:58:04Or perfectly innocent.
00:58:21Shall we, old boy?
00:58:22Yes, I think, let's...
00:58:24Sniffed on the roof, eh?
00:58:25Oh, quick.
00:58:30Hello.
00:58:31Yeah.
00:58:36Hello.
00:58:47Bye.
00:58:49Bye.
00:58:52Bye.
