02:50By the end of this tour, I think we'll be able to make a qualitative assessment about where the finest
02:56women in the world come from.
02:58For now, however, I can tell you the women of New Guinea are sweeter than those of Ceylon and right
03:04up there with those of Malaya!
03:09I have shared these secrets with you in good faith.
03:12The contents must, like all disclosures of the officers on board are married and would kill me if they knew
03:21what I was writing!
03:24Strict, strict non-disclosure policies apply. What happens on tour stays on tour!
03:31But rest assured, I will keep you updated on our forthcoming adventures.
03:38I sense this will be a momentous, ever, ever your fellow member, Mike!
03:45Thank you!
03:46And now I can't see you in goodwill!
04:06Thank you!
04:13Thank you!
05:44This artist, misadventure!
05:56The invasion has been a disaster.
05:59The UN General Assembly is up in arms, as are the Americans.
06:04As a result, our Prime Minister has had no option but to declare an immediate ceasefire and retreat.
06:12Without taking back the Suez Canal?
06:15Quite.
06:16So it's all been for nothing?
06:18No, rather worse than nothing.
06:21Economically, the drain on our currency reserves has been so ruinous that we now face a run on sterling.
06:28The energy situation is just as bad.
06:31Panic buying has been reported at petrol stations, and we expect fuel rationing to become necessary as we move into
06:38winter.
06:41This is no exaggeration to say that this has been the worst week for the country since 1939.
06:47The peace and consensus left by your dear father is gone, and our reputation for decency and integrity in matters
06:56of foreign policy has been shattered.
06:58What is it?
07:01The Duke of Edinburgh is on the telephone, Your Majesty.
07:05Hmm?
07:05Wouldn't that have a first?
07:07From New Guinea, no?
07:09Oh.
07:11Sorry, do excuse me.
07:12Of course.
07:13Give her my best.
07:21Hello?
07:22Hello?
07:24Hello.
07:25Hello, Philip.
07:27Hello, can you hear me?
07:28Yes, yes, I can hear you.
07:33I can't hear you.
07:35Can you hear me?
07:37Yes, I can hear you.
07:41Hello?
07:41Elizabeth?
07:45Can you hear me?
07:51Philip?
08:02Ready for it, sir.
08:08Damn telephones.
08:12Bloody things.
08:13This is why they're bothering us.
08:26At ease, gentlemen.
08:34Well, our adventure is only two weeks old.
08:37It's already taken us nearly 20,000 miles as we travel to far corners of the world in an attempt
08:46to repair the reputation of our country currently being ruined by our politicians.
08:54I would like to thank each and every one of you for your professionalism and discipline. You have all been
09:00brilliant. All that is except for the football team.
09:04You shoddy, leaky defense and absence of a natural left-sided player led to that rather humiliating defeat by the
09:12seamen's club of all bloody people at Portsmouth.
09:18I should also like to say, if I may, Admiral.
09:22Yes, sir.
09:27It's been wonderful for me on a personal level to be back at sea. The Royal Navy has always occupied
09:34a 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. That's why it's all so
09:47very difficult to leave. But leave I must and fly to Melbourne to open the Olympics there where I must
09:55generally behave myself, shake a few hands, cut a few ribbons. It 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 our
10:07great adventure. Now, in the meantime, behave yourselves. Keep fit. Don't drink all the bloody beer.
10:22Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Very good. Yeah.
10:36So depressing, the sewers business.
10:39Well, can't read about it then. I can't help myself. What were they thinking?
10:44Shall we take a look at the schedule?
10:46What's your meal?
10:47Probably not, no. I'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, then overdo a British Empire service league conference in Canberra, and finally garden parties at the
11:04government house.
11:05Joy.
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.
11:15Australia. In 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.
12:43Australia.
12:45Excuse me.
12:46Good image.
12:48Name's Helen King.
12:5029 years old, writes for The Aage, one of the most prominent newspapers here.
12:54She is asked to meet you.
12:57That's me, sir.
12:59What for?
13:00Interview.
13:02I thought we decided only do interviews.
13:04Well we did. But in her case I'd find myself moved to make an exception.
13:08You saw the way she was looking at me?
13:09Yes.
13:10You didn't think I'm being delusional.
13:13Gentleman's Radar and All-Man.
13:15no not to mention the way she's followed us every step of the tour no I think we
13:20can safely assume this one's a friend of an enemy
13:32the car carrying his royal highness the Duke of Edinburgh makes his way out on
13:38the splendid red track here on a pleasant afternoon in Melbourne the clouds are
13:44ecstatic as they get their first glimpse of the Duke who is reported to be greatly
13:48enjoying his time here in Australia and now we're nearly there as the Duke takes
13:55his place in the world I declare open the Olympic Games Melbourne celebrating the
14:0616th Olympiad of the modern era
14:15he looks happy once
14:19the Duke smiles with thunderous applause and thousands of cheers
14:25yes
14:25very happy
14:29you can thank me for that
14:30my idea I always knew it was a good idea to let him shine alone
14:35what a magnificent moment
14:38yes thank you
14:46in ancient Greece the beginning of the games was heralded by the homing of the pigeons
14:52and so too today
15:08yes
15:08yes

15:24yes
15:27yes
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.
15:56In what capacity?
15:59His private secretary.
16:01Oh, I see.
16:03He's also his closest friend.
16:05They're virtually inseparable.
16:08Are you really sure about this?
16:11A divorce can leave a woman quite isolated.
16:15Maybe things will get better if you stick it out.
16:20I tend to think that's always the best way for everyone.
16:25Grass is rarely greener.
16:29I will come back when I have evidence.
16:45You're taking the pethidine?
16:46Yes.
16:47And the pentobarbitone?
16:48Yes, I'm taking the pentobarbitone, 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.
17:10I 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, you don't feel that you have a responsibility to execute
17:27your duties just a little longer.
17:28I asked the physician the same question, ma'am, but 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.
17:55And Mr. 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 really is just round the corner.
18:25And Norfolk, too.
18:27County Durham, isn't it?
18:30Your family home?
18:34Jamaica, ma'am.
18:36Your family home?
18:38Where the doctor felt I should be going.
18:41He specified Jamaica.
18:43He specified sunshine, tropical 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.
19:03Your Majesty.
19:41You work in there, don't you?
19:44At the Thursday Club?
19:46as a waitress who's asking my name is eileen do you have a minute uh what can i do for
19:52you
19:54i'd like you to tell me what goes on inside are you a reporter or something no no nothing like
20:01that just a wife of one of the members and mother to his children you may know him his name
20:08is mike
20:09there are so many gentlemen mike parker you do know him don't you
20:19mike would have made sure of that you're just his type look one day you will be married too
20:26and i sincerely hope that you make a good choice but if you don't and you meet a man who
20:32makes you
20:32unhappy then as a woman i would wish for you to be helped to leave that man easily
20:39painlessly so if there is anything you can tell me that might make my leaving easier i'm sorry
20:45mrs parker but i know nothing of your husband here is my address and um and my number just
20:57if anything should occur to you
21:35if you have a minute
21:36you have a minute
21:37Michael I think it's important coming I'm going to ask you to go through it
21:46again yes the provenance of this rumor is quite arcane your sister sister-in-law
21:53had lunch with her aunt who had just spent the weekend at Chumley Castle at
22:00which one of the other guests was at the bridge partner tennis of the solicitor
22:07visited by Eileen Parker I think that's it that's half Britain already and all of
22:17these people now know Mrs. Parker is seeking a divorce yes it's unfortunate it'll be hard to
22:28take what are Mrs. Parker's grievances neglect unreasonable behavior and infidelity just a
22:47wife's suspicions nothing concrete but I believe specific mention was made of a lunch club where
22:52Lieutenant Commander Parker and the Duke of Edinburgh don't tell me frequent guests
22:59actually founder members keep an eye on this for me would you Martin how close are
23:13you
23:20you
23:22Oh, thank you very much.
23:30Commander Cruz, your mission is to speak down to the front of us.
23:34Speak down, thanks.
23:36I have to stand first, please.
23:42Ready, sir?
23:43Certainly.
23:45His Royal Highness is the Duke of Edinburgh.
23:47Thank you for seeing me, sir.
23:49Not at all.
23:52Well, um, just bear with me while I put my things down and set up.
23:57Please.
24:08I'm just going to put a microphone right here.
24:11Can I help?
24:13No, it's fine. Thank you.
24:19Right. I think that's it.
24:21Right. Well, I'll, uh, I'll leave you two to it, then.
24:24Thank you, Michael. Please.
24:32Ready when you are?
24:34Well, we can't really start without passing comment on the situation in Egypt and the international response.
24:40Why?
24:42Huge demonstrations on the streets of London.
24:45Eden 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.
24:57It'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.
25:14Oh, I'm sure Britain will be fine.
25:17No, the 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.
25:40Well, let's just say that I learned very early on that it's wise not to take things for granted.
25:44You'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.
27:49Oh, Christ.
27:50One of whom was married to a close personal friend of Hitler's.
27:52I was at school in Germany for less than a year before I returned to the United Kingdom.
27:57What point are you trying to make here?
27:59I think it's pretty clear which side I was on.
28:01My record in the war speaks for itself.
28:02I'm simply saying that your background is so much more interesting and complex than people 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.
29:44Christ.
29:47Christ.
29:49Christ.
29:49Christ.
29:52Christ.
29:55Christ.
30:00Christ.
30:13Christ.
30:27Kensington 8953 hello we met a few times in various
30:48locations afterwards he'd tell me about his job the company he keeps he didn't
31:00mention a wife or children
31:08I'm so sorry
31:14if you are really sorry I want to make my life easier
31:21of course
31:24we will need you to make an official statement and give evidence in court
31:29I can't do that I would lose my job my reputation
31:31I'm afraid that's what the law requires
31:33no no so you telephoned me and agreed to come here today for what precisely to put color into my
31:55night mess my sources now tell me that mrs. Parker has gone as far as bringing a waitress from a
31:59Thursday lunch club to see her divorce line I gather the waitress has not provided hard evidence on this
32:05occasion just hearsay they were obviously getting close this cannot be allowed to go one single step further
32:13no if mrs. Parker succeeds in getting her divorce the newspapers would take a not unreasonable
32:21assumption that anything that left owner commander Parker has done the Duke of Edinburgh has done too
32:27we do not want words like infidelity and divorce swirling around no
32:35whether there is any truth in the allegations or not
32:37it will shatter the interpretable marriage and jeopardize the entire monarchy
32:47any ideas
32:50stand easy stand easy right our grown-up duties are done the olympics are officially up and running
32:56which means gentlemen we can now get on with the important business at hand
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
33:11commonwealth but I'm delighted to say that during that time we will be without reporters
33:17we will be without photographers
33:22we will be out of the world's eyes
33:26and with that in mind I think Michael's got a suggestion
33:30thank you right gentlemen uh yes 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
33:41now special dispensation have been given to the dozen or so
33:46men already have been it's shave them off
33:48and their act is judging for the rest of our efforts all right
33:53yeah
33:54hey Chris
33:56hey
33:57hey
33:57hey
33:57hey
33:59hey
33:59hey
34:13It's something you've not seen before.
34:15You can't see it now, Bill.
34:43Right, in their infinite wisdom, the powers that be have decided they would like you to
34:47make a Christmas speech.
34:49What?
34:50To who?
34:51The men on board?
34:52No, to the half a billion people that make up the Commonwealth of Nations.
34:57In the Lord Chamberlain's office, they'd like you to make a companion Christmas speech
35:00to the Queens.
35:01A thousand words, preferably uplifting in tone and Christian in sentiment, with as many
35:07references as possible to the importance of family and the sanctity of marriage.
35:12What if I don't want to?
35:14Well, I'm afraid no provisions appear to have been made for your having an opinion about
35:18that, or indeed anything else.
35:21Because of seniority, your speech will come second at the usual time, 3pm.
35:28However, on Christmas morning, the Duke of Edinburgh is expected to be in Graham Land, which is in
35:34the Antarctic Peninsula, which is ten hours behind us, so he'll have to get up at the crack
35:39of dawn to make his speech.
35:40May I ask why he's making a speech?
35:44Um?
35:45Well, it's not usual, is it?
35:48No, it is extraordinary.
35:51Um, I think the feeling was that with Your Majesty and His Royal Highness having not been seen
35:58in public together for so long, being at least heard together...
36:04No, I see.
36:04It might reassure people that all is still well.
36:06Heh.
36:08Heh.
36:08I wouldn't go that far, ma'am.
36:09Well, I would.
36:10And I think it's a good idea.
36:13Thank you, Michael.
36:20May I just ask, just out of curiosity, what's the longest amount of time that you and Lady
36:28Adean have been separated?
36:31Uh, three weeks, I think.
36:35I see.
36:36And would you say that you thrive or suffer from a separation?
36:42We don't much care for it, ma'am.
36:44Helen, in particular, believes that little good comes from a couple being apart, that
36:50a husband and wife belong together.
36:52Well...
36:57Of course.
37:01Ma'am.
37:37Ma'am.
37:38Yes, sir?
37:38Okay.
37:43Ma'am.
37:44Ma'am.
37:46Ma'am.
37:48Yes, sir?
37:51Ma'am.
37:52What's up?
37:52Australian naval patrol boat.
37:54H.M.S.
37:55Waureen has put out a distress call.
37:56They picked up a fishing boat out of power and has drifted for days.
38:00Only one man left alive and he nearly drowned trying to fix the hull.
38:02He suffered a broken rib cage and his lung may be punctured.
38:05And the Waureen doesn't have a doctor on board.
38:07Your man is dying.
38:08Are we the nearest ship?
38:09There's a French freight that's three miles further out.
38:12We are the nearest ship.
38:14Set your course.
38:16Bring her about.
38:18Coming about.
38:1993.
38:39Poison.
38:40Up.
38:41I'm just coming out.
38:43Get in here.
38:44Get in here.
38:56Tracks.
39:03Eddie.
39:05We fished him out the water floating near his boat.
39:08The rest of his crew must have drowned.
39:10There's no log on board, so we don't know who he is or where he's from.
39:13It doesn't matter who he is or where he's from.
39:15He 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 in spite of an official term.
39:31And to take the man back to wherever he came from would be to turn back in entirely the wrong
39:35direction.
39:37It'd take days.
39:37Maybe a whole week off our important schedule.
39:40We can make that time up.
39:41The man's fortunate enough.
39:42We saved his life.
39:44We'll simply drop him off at the next destination and that'll be that.
39:47He will be needlessly separated from his home.
39:50Find himself in a strange country with a foreign language.
39:54Away from his family.
39:55Not my concern.
39:57Another vessel with less important duties might find time for such sentimental charity.
40:02We've done our important duties and are on the way home.
40:06We'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.
40:55But this is the Royal Yacht.
40:56I am on it representing the crown.
40:59And I say turn it around and take this man home.
41:25My dear friends.
41:27After 20 eventful weeks at sea visiting five continents and covering many 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 shipwreck 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.
42:33And what people...
42:37What family?
42:41What a home.
43:10Should you Thursday Club members ever grow tired of your colourless and empty lives in London,
43:17I suggest immediate relocation to the discreet island nations nestled around Tonga.
43:24Surely the closest one can come to heaven on earth.
43:30Never have we received such a welcome, or 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 travelled across almost every inch,
43:52how much have we encountered such beautiful women.
44:14These 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, not a little bit, but a great deal in 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.
45:19Uh, thank you.
45:28Was it?
45:29That's all.
45:30You're not even with everything.
45:32I think of your customers, it's all right.
45:35It's a shit thing.
45:36It's a shit thing.
45:37It's all here.
45:37Yeah.
45:41You're here, honey.
45:41You're here.
45:42You're here, honey.
45:46You're here.
45:52You're here.
45:54You're here.
46:01Happy Christmas.
46:26That's what I want.
46:28Ed won't.
46:32Written 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.
47:08Where exactly is Philip?
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.
47:30And so, Antarctica is north north, isn't it, Dickie?
47:35What's north north?
47:37Come.
47:40It's time.
47:41Good.
47:42Your Majesties.
47:43Your Royal Highnesses.
47:44Oh, come on to me, children.
47:45And now, a Christmas announce from His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh.
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.
48:06Indeed, a few of us aboard the Royal Yacht feel a little upside down, having never been
48:10this far from home.
48:13The remoteness of the location presents one with a precious opportunity to think.
48:18About one's own life.
48:21One's own way of living.
48:24We've travelled the world now and seen all manner of tribes, societies and cultures.
48:31We've had endless debates about which places have the best systems of government or justice
48:35or the most interesting religions.
48:37We've been amazed and impressed by so much of what we've seen.
48:44Naturally, it has led us to examine our own lives and the way we live.
48:49The things we take for granted.
48:52Is that really Philip?
48:53Some sort of Philip impersonator?
48:57Why?
48:58It 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.
49:19It's a fine life.
49:21It's a fine life.
49:22It's a fine life.
49:23We are meant together.
49:27But we each stand alone.
49:50We can ask to tell you that they're ready for you.
49:59Last minute changes.
50:02Something like that.
50:03May I help?
50:05No.
50:27We are ready for you, ma'am.
50:31Yes.
50:38Happy Christmas.
50:39Happy Christmas.
50:41Happy Christmas.
50:41Happy Christmas.
50:43Happy Christmas.
50:44The people of Britain and the Commonwealth will now listen to the voice of Her Majesty
50:49the Queen.
50:53Thank you, ma'am.
50:58Thank you, ma'am.
50:59Once again, messages of Christmas greeting have been exchanged around the world.
51:04Carried upon the invisible wings of 20th century science.
51:11And of all those many messages from all corners of the Commonwealth.
51:17None has given us greater pleasure than hearing those of my husband from the remote and lonely spaces of Antarctica.
51:31To him I say, from all the members of your family gathered here today, our very best wishes go to
51:42you 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, whose efforts in our great
52:25cities...
