00:13I'm not sure what you're doing.
00:16I'm not sure what you're doing.
00:23I'm not sure what you're doing.
00:24Fuel on.
00:26Fuel on.
00:27Docks are in position.
00:29Switches are off.
00:29You sure about this, sir?
00:32When I got married, my in-laws made me Marshal of the Royal Air Force.
00:35As a result, I'm the most senior airman in the country,
00:39and I can't bloody well fly.
00:41Yes, I'm sure.
00:42Right-o, sir.
01:12Ready, sir?
01:14Bravo!
01:15Here we go!
01:17Whoa-ho!
01:29Perfect!
01:32Woo-hoo!
01:39Slow air!
01:50Right.
01:52All right there, sir?
01:54Yes, yes, fine.
01:55Now, it's your turn.
01:57You have control.
01:58I have control?
01:59Well, I remember what I told you.
02:00Keep your eye on the altimeter and the compass heading.
02:03And keep the stick level.
02:06That's very good.
02:08That's balanced.
02:12Stick to the left, then to the right.
02:20And level.
02:22Good.
02:24Noisy, isn't it?
02:29How's this, sir?
02:40My God.
02:42Oh.
02:43Oh.
02:44Oh.
02:47Isn't it wonderful?
02:49Heaven!
02:55You fought in the Battle of Britain, didn't you?
02:58I did, sir.
02:59257 Squadron.
03:00Flying what?
03:01Spitfires.
03:02Hunnicans, mostly, sir.
03:04Any kills?
03:06One or two.
03:08Should we get us started now?
03:09The ground seems terribly close.
03:12It's too low to restart, sir.
03:14We'll do a dead stick landing.
03:16Okay.
03:16I have control.
03:17You have control.
03:37That was wonderful.
03:39Same time next week, sir.
03:41How about tomorrow?
03:44Yes!
04:00Good day.
04:12You will definitely touch upon whether...
05:47Johnston, what do you make of this?
05:55Interesting.
05:57Sir.
06:01I think you should see this.
06:03I see.
06:08Sir.
06:16Excuse me.
06:17You can't go in there.
06:19Excuse me, sir.
06:22Sorry, sir.
06:23Thought you should see these.
06:29Good God.
06:33We must send a warning to cover our backs.
06:39Kenneth, it should probably come from you as chief scientist.
06:44Address it to the PM.
06:46No, I'll never read it, of course.
06:48But the important thing is, we've sent it.
06:52I'll get you to Downing Street right away.
07:12Right there, please.
07:16Here we go.
07:18All right, quick, quick!
07:23If her matter, she could lean forward.
07:29Deep breath in.
07:34And out.
07:35What?
07:38Yeah, it's a little stuffy, ma'am.
07:40It might help to open the window a crack.
07:42Not while they're rehearsing.
07:45What are they rehearsing?
07:50My funeral.
07:54My funeral.
07:58Number two.
08:09Three.
08:12Two.
08:13The first.
08:14Eight.
08:15Three.
08:42Oh, there you are.
09:00Mr. Thurman.
09:01Mr. Cox.
09:03Mr. Cox.
09:05Mr. Cox.
09:06Mr. Cox.
09:09Mr. Cox.
09:15Mr. Cox.
09:32Mr. Cox.
09:33Mr. Cox.
09:43Mr. Cox.
09:45Mr. Cox.
09:45Mr. Cox.
09:46Mr. Cox.
09:47Mr. Cox.
09:48Mr. Cox.
09:48Mr. Cox.
09:49Mr. Cox.
09:50Mr. Cox.
09:51Mr. Cox.
09:54Mr. Cox.
09:58Mr. Cox.
10:00Copper words in the fog in a few days a number of people died
10:05at 20 and
10:07Several thousand became seriously ill from the poisonous fog
10:12After the incident a cross-party delegation was sent to the Nora on an urgent fact-finding mission
10:18They recommended that clean air zones be set up all around London as a precautionary measure
10:25I
10:26Never saw the report with good reason
10:29Our Prime Minister threw it away
10:31Claiming it wasn't a priority
10:34Can you prove that I can't miss drop there?
10:46The cabinet minutes where it was discussed
10:55He's insisted the country keep burning coal irresponsibly this winter
10:59To give the illusion of a solid economy
11:05This is great Clem
11:07It's interesting for sure
11:12What I don't understand is this
11:16Why a Downing Street employee working for the government should come to me with this information
11:24I've read the Aeneid Mr. Thurman
11:27Do not trust the horse Trojans
11:30I fear the Greeks even when they bring gifts
11:35Mr. Hadley, I entered the civil service to serve the public and to serve government
11:42But I am also a responsible citizen and I cannot stand by when chaos reigns around me
11:50This is not a government
11:53Mr. Hadley, this is a collection of hesitant, frightened old men unable to unseat a tyrannical, delusional even older one
12:05Yours was the most radical, forward-thinking government this country has ever seen
12:14How you lost the election escapes me
12:20Escapes us all
12:24I believe I would be doing the British public and this country a service if I helped to usher him
12:31out of the door
12:32And you back in
12:35And to that end you come to me with a master plan
12:39That involves me crucifying the Tories for their failure to deal with a fog
12:44Which has yet shows no sign of appearing
12:50At present I can see stars
13:04I think anyone
13:08Is where I am
13:16The
13:44CHOIR SINGS
14:10CHOIR SINGS
14:19CHOIR SINGS
14:19What? Still here?
14:20Good night, sir.
14:26Night.
14:34Evening, Pat.
14:57you haven't moved
15:01I suppose it's still a no
15:04to what
15:05coming out
15:06you mean going to the Lamb of Flag with you
15:09sitting at the bar
15:11twinkling our ankles at every unremarkable
15:13young man in the room
15:15then letting those men buy us enough drinks for us to bring
15:17them home only to
15:19have their unremarkability
15:20confirmed to us again
15:23no
15:25thanks
15:27goodness and what will you be doing in the meantime
15:30spend time
15:31in the company of someone remarkable
15:33oh
15:35ta-ra
15:43hear this young men and women everywhere
15:45and proclaim it far
15:47and wide
15:48the earth is yours
15:50and the fullness thereof
15:53be kind but be fierce
15:55you are needed now more than ever before
15:58take up the mantle of change
16:01for this is your time
16:05so
16:35Good morning.
16:37The time is 8 o'clock on the 6th of December, and here is the news.
16:41London has been brought to a halt by dense fog, which has descended overnight.
16:47Long queues are formed on main roads, and there are reports of motorists abandoning their vehicles and continuing on foot.
16:53London Airport is expected to be closed.
16:58Good God.
17:00The Meteorological Office has issued a statement saying that a persistent anti-cyclone over London is to blame.
17:06Smoke from the capital's chimneys is being trapped at street level, which is aggravating the fog.
17:15Windless conditions mean it is expected to last for some time.
17:18Be careful out there. It's a real pea super.
17:31Ah, is the car ready?
17:34I'm afraid the visibility is too poor to drive, ma'am.
17:38It's what? 200 yards?
17:41It's been judged too hazardous, ma'am.
17:47I have an appointment to see my grandmother.
17:51I intend to keep that appointment.
17:54If it's too hazardous to drive, then there's only one thing to be done.
17:59In my mind, I'll take it down because I am the one.
18:02It's just as if my grandmother'sllie to drive, but he'll be on the other side.
18:03It's just as if I can.
18:13I'll take it down because I'll do it.
18:20But, if I can keep that before.
18:20This morning is the one thing.
18:20It is.
18:20It is just as if I can keep my grandmother's side.
18:22It's a family and a community, not just as if I can.
18:38I saw that.
18:41Might it be possible for you to pretend that you haven't?
18:45And the Queen is here, Your Majesty.
18:48Could you be more specific?
18:50Ma'am.
18:52Which Queen?
18:53Queen Elizabeth, ma'am.
18:55Which one? There are two.
18:57The young one.
18:59Oh, the Queen.
19:01I thought you was all Queens. They gave me a sheet.
19:04We are.
19:05I was the Queen so long as my husband the King was alive.
19:09But since he died, I'm no longer the Queen. I'm simply Queen Mary.
19:13My late son's widow was also the Queen.
19:17But upon the death of her husband, she became Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.
19:22Her daughter, Queen Elizabeth, is now Queen.
19:24So she is...
19:27The Queen.
19:29Brother.
19:31Nurses and nuns have the same problem.
19:33We're all called Sister.
19:36So you are.
19:38Well, she's outside.
19:40The Queen.
19:41Then let her in, Sister.
19:57Bedtime?
19:58Not at all.
20:02How are you?
20:03I'm always happy to see you.
20:06And my mood will improve yet further if you promise me one thing.
20:10Name it.
20:10Not to ask me how I am.
20:12It's all anyone ever does.
20:14Forget death by lung disease.
20:16It's death by bad conversation.
20:19All right, I promise.
20:21But if you are feeling up to it, there was something I wanted to talk to you about.
20:26Fire away.
20:38I was listening to the wireless this morning, where they described this fog as an act of God.
20:45Now, in your letter that you sent me, you said loyalty to the ideal you have inherited is your duty
20:59above everything else.
21:01Because the calling comes from the highest source.
21:05From God himself.
21:07Yes.
21:10Do you really believe that?
21:15Monarchy is God's sacred mission to grace and dignify the earth.
21:19To give ordinary people an ideal to strive towards.
21:23An example of nobility and duty to raise them in their wretched lives.
21:28Monarchy is a calling from God.
21:32That is why you're crowned in an abbey, not a government building.
21:36Why you're anointed, not appointed.
21:38It's an archbishop that puts the crown on your head.
21:41Not a minister or public servant.
21:43Which means that you are answerable to God in your duty.
21:48Not the public.
21:51I'm not sure that my husband would agree with that.
21:54He would argue that in any equitable modern society that church and state should be separated.
22:03That if God has servants, they're priests, not kings.
22:07That he would also say that he watched his own family destroyed because they were seen by the people to
22:13embody indefensible and unreasonable ideas.
22:15Yes, but he represents a royal family of carpetbaggers and parvenues that goes back what?
22:22Ninety years.
22:24What would he know of Alfred the Great, the rod of equity and mercy?
22:28Edward the Confessor?
22:30William the Conqueror?
22:31Henry VIII?
22:33It's the Church of England, dear.
22:35Not the Church of Denmark or Greece.
22:41Next question.
22:44It's chaos out there.
22:46Trains disrupted.
22:48Air services cancelled.
22:50A Richmond bridge this morning.
22:52Visibility was officially measured at one yard.
22:55That's a record low, incidentally.
22:58Our Trojan friend in Downing Street has been speaking to his friends at the Met office.
23:03They say this is just the beginning.
23:06They expect it to get worse.
23:08I know you would have me call a vote of no confidence.
23:11And will doubtless call me overcautious for not doing so.
23:15But the Prime Minister needs to be given a chance.
23:21Even if it's only to hang himself.
23:23Let's see how the old fool responds.
23:40There you go.
23:41There you go.
23:42There you go.
23:43There you go.
23:43There you go.
23:44There you go.
23:45There you go.
23:45There you go.
23:47There you go.
23:49There you go.
23:51There you go.
23:52There you go.
23:54There you go.
23:56There you go.
23:58There you go.
24:05Morning.
24:13I'm glad to see someone else made it in.
24:16No one saw this coming, did they?
24:19No.
24:27Prime Minister?
24:30Sir?
24:50Ah, you made it!
24:51Oh, I'm sorry, sorry, sir. I was just...
24:54No, no, you did well to get here.
24:56I gather half the Downing Street staff didn't.
24:59It wasn't easy.
25:01Just crossing the road, you take your life in your hands.
25:03Then don't. You're too important to all of us.
25:06Hardly.
25:07All I do is bring you things to sign and take them away again.
25:11And so the wheels keep turning,
25:14and the business gets done,
25:15and the country's governed.
25:21What's my personal contribution?
25:26You improve the quality of life for all that deal with you.
25:31What?
25:32An ornament.
25:34A flower.
25:37By comparison, at my age, you were a published writer,
25:41and a cavalry officer posted to India,
25:45fighting local tribesmen on the northwest frontier.
25:48Who told you that?
25:49You asked me to engage in a relationship with a young man my own age.
25:54So I've been reading your autobiography.
25:57That's not quite what I had in mind.
25:59Hear this, young men and women everywhere,
26:03and proclaim it far and wide.
26:06The earth is yours, and the fullness thereof.
26:11Be kind, but be fierce.
26:14You are needed now more than ever before.
26:19Take up the mantle of change.
26:21Stop.
26:22For this is your time.
26:29You were 24.
26:33All energy and hope,
26:36and passion and fire.
26:39It's remarkable.
26:45You found something you liked in that young male?
26:51I did.
27:21Good morning.
27:23The time is 8 o'clock on the 7th of December,
27:26and here is the news.
27:29The serious fog,
27:30which brought much of the capital to a standstill yesterday,
27:33continues this morning,
27:34with emergency services struggling to cope,
27:37and widespread disruption reported across the nation.
27:41Flares are being used to guide motorists in parts of the capital.
27:45Trains are stopped,
27:46while running hours behind schedule
27:48from major London railway stations.
27:52The Prime Minister is facing criticism
27:54and failure to deal with the mountain crisis.
27:58London airport is closed again today,
28:00with all flights crowded.
28:02Yes.
28:03The unmoving fog,
28:04which has spread to over 30 miles wide,
28:06is likely to cause complete darkness
28:08by 2 o'clock this afternoon.
28:25You all right?
28:28You're not?
28:31Come on, let's get you up.
28:32No, no, I'm fine, I promise.
28:38It's just because the window is open.
28:41Now go to work, you've got a job to do.
28:52Let us start with the unrest in Egypt,
28:57where anti-colonial passions continue to run high
29:00and where our soldiers continue to come under fire
29:03from nationalist insurgents.
29:05It is vital that we remain
29:07and successfully defend the Suez Canal,
29:12a point that I will be making in person
29:14to the Commonwealth heads
29:16when I host them for the weekend at Chequers.
29:20Weather permitting?
29:23Indeed.
29:24What is the latest information that you have?
29:27About the weather?
29:29It's fog, ma'am.
29:32It will lift eventually.
29:33I was hoping for something more scientific.
29:37Then I will ensure that a barometric report
29:40is included in your box tomorrow,
29:43complete with isobars and isofumes.
29:48It has been an unusually cold winter,
29:51and there are only so many things
29:54that I, as Prime Minister,
29:55am prepared to inflict on your subjects
29:57as a reward for winning a world war
29:59and prevailing over fascism, evil, and tyranny.
30:04Letting them freeze is not one of them.
30:07You do not seem unduly concerned.
30:10I'm not.
30:11You do know that my late father wrote
30:13many years ago
30:15to your predecessors
30:17to express his deep concern
30:19about the inner-city power stations
30:20that your party was building.
30:25Indeed.
30:27And I was sympathetic
30:30with your father's concerns at the time.
30:33I also have sympathy
30:35with the leader articles
30:36in the newspapers today,
30:38begging for blood,
30:40wanting my head.
30:42People have to be angry at someone,
30:45but as leader,
30:48one cannot simply react
30:50to everything.
30:51We need the power stations.
30:53We need the coal.
30:55People need to burn coal
30:56to warm their homes.
30:58It is weather.
30:59It will pass.
31:01Well, I do hope so.
31:03Not least because
31:04my husband's mood is intolerable.
31:07Why?
31:09Well, being caged in like this,
31:11he can't fly.
31:14Fly where?
31:16Well, nowhere.
31:18He's learning to fly.
31:21Whatever for?
31:23Have we not enough qualified pilots
31:26to take him where he needs to go?
31:27No, he wants to fly himself.
31:30It's a boyhood dream.
31:31It's what he's always wanted.
31:33Why was government not consulted?
31:35Because it's a private matter.
31:36And I am in favor.
31:38Nothing you or his royal highness do
31:40is a private matter.
31:42And the father of the future king of England
31:44risking his life needlessly
31:46is quite unacceptable.
31:49Please do not curtail
31:50my husband's personal freedoms any further.
31:53You've taken away his home.
31:55You've taken away his name.
31:57There comes a time where
31:58one must draw a line in the sand.
32:00And the job of drawing that line
32:02falls to cabinet, ma'am,
32:03not to you.
32:05Something your dear late papa
32:06would certainly have taught you
32:08had he been granted more time
32:09to complete your education.
32:13And now our time is up.
32:20Until next week.
32:37Good morning.
32:39The time is 8 o'clock on the 8th of December
32:41and here is the news.
32:42The choking, eye-watering fog
32:45which has already caused
32:46two days of chaos across the capital
32:48has worsened overnight.
32:50The great coal-burning electricity stations
32:52in Battersea and Fulham
32:53have attempted to reduce emissions
32:55of poisonous sulfur dioxide
32:56from their chimneys
32:57but we've been told
32:59that it is unlikely
33:00they will be able to make
33:01any significant change
33:02to the air quality.
33:04The government is expected
33:05to make a statement
33:06later today.
33:17Come on.
33:18Let's get you to hospital.
33:20I'm fine.
33:21You're not.
33:22Come on.
33:23Let's get you up.
33:25Shoes.
33:34Off we go.
33:53I can't breathe.
33:55Do as I say
33:56and hold on to me.
33:57I can't breathe.
34:14Do as I say
34:14and hold on to me.
34:16Close down, ladies.
34:19Close down.
34:23Go, go.
34:25Quick, hold my hand.
34:27All right.
34:28All right.
34:30I'll be there.
34:33See you there.
34:35All right.
34:35All right.
34:38Go away.
34:41You're all right, ladies.
34:51Control of this story is getting away from us.
34:55The opposition's blood is up.
34:57We have to respond.
34:59Respond how?
35:00I would suggest by commissioning a public inquiry.
35:03An inquiry would be expensive.
35:09Winston people are angry.
35:11They see us as the culprits.
35:13Culprits for what?
35:14It's fog.
35:16Fog is fog.
35:17It comes and it goes away.
35:20Well, I'm glad that the Prime Minister finds time for levity.
35:24Perhaps I should remind him exactly how serious the situation has now become.
35:28This morning, a suburban twain collided with a gang of well-wing workmen,
35:33killing several and injuring a great many more.
35:36In parts of the capital, there is now a total breakdown in law and order.
35:40Hospitals are filling up as our citizens are breathing in poisonous sulfur dioxide.
35:55Sometimes we have sunshine.
35:58Too much sunshine, and they call it a drought.
36:01Then we have rain.
36:03Too much rain, and they call it a deluge, and find a way to blame us for that, too.
36:08No, it's an act of God, Bobbity.
36:11It's weather.
36:12And for better or for worse, we get a great deal of it on this island.
36:16Frankly, there are more pressing matters to deal with.
36:20Like what?
36:21The Duke of Edinburgh.
36:24The Duke of Edinburgh.
36:36Mail.
36:37Mail.
36:38Telephone, sir.
36:40The Marcus of Salisbury.
36:41Oh, not now.
36:42He asked me to stress the importance of the matter.
36:50Bobbity?
36:51Thanks for taking my call, Diggie.
36:55Are you there?
36:56Yes.
36:57Can anyone over hear what you're saying?
37:03No.
37:04Good.
37:09It's chaos.
37:10I know.
37:11The ward is full.
37:12Every corridor, too.
37:14Most of the doctors are sick now.
37:15Those that are well can't get in.
37:17It was better than this in the war.
37:19What do you need?
37:20More equipment?
37:21Or masks?
37:22Masks are bloody useless.
37:23They're just for show.
37:24To make it look like the government's doing something.
37:26Then what is needed?
37:27Money.
37:29People.
37:29Trained staff.
37:30Help is what is needed urgently.
37:33Better rest for now.
37:38Maybe I could put a word in with the people who make a difference.
37:42Such as?
37:43The Prime Minister, for example.
37:46Oh, I see you're just going to walk into Downing Street and whisper in his ear.
37:49Yes, something like that.
37:51You know, my day is bad enough without some delusional girl playing jokes.
37:55Now, excuse me.
38:00I'll show you.
38:01No, no, no.
38:02Get out of the way.
38:03Here we go.
38:04Here.
38:12Where are you?
38:13Oh, here.
38:14Here.
38:15Oh, come on, please.
38:38How much longer are you going to give the old man?
38:40The majority is tiny.
38:42A vote of no confidence and he'll be toppled.
38:46You know what he calls you?
38:49Yes, I know.
38:50A sheep in sheep's clothing.
38:55Perhaps it's time to approve you're not.
39:03Very well.
39:05Let's put a motion down on paper and brief the whips.
39:20Thank you, sir.
39:36Anything interesting?
39:38Yes.
39:41Care to share it?
39:43No.
39:46I'd be happy to share glide ratios and adiabatic lapse rates with you as part of a quid pro quo
39:51arrangement.
39:52One glide ratio in return for some cabinet minutes, for example.
39:59A dihedral angle or an absolute ceiling.
40:02These are very interesting concepts, Elizabeth.
40:04You might learn something in exchange for a foreign office briefing.
40:09Am I going to have to explain my position again?
40:12No.
40:13Good.
40:17Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward,
40:22for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.
40:27You know what's remarkable about those words?
40:32Go on.
40:33They were written 300 years before man first got in a plane.
40:37Leonardo da Vinci.
40:42Look, Ophelia, I know that...
40:47Lord Mountbatten, your majesty.
40:49Uncle Dickie, what's he doing here?
40:51I know as much as you do.
40:52He said it was important, that.
41:00Elizabeth.
41:05Hello.
41:06Came as soon as I cried.
41:10So...
41:12Oh, is...
41:13Is this a meeting with Elizabeth, your niece?
41:16My wife?
41:17Or the queen?
41:19The latter, I'm afraid.
41:20Right.
41:21I don't know my place.
41:31What's the matter with him?
41:34Nothing.
41:36He's just feeling a little...
41:37grounded.
41:38Grounded.
41:39Ignore it.
41:41Right.
41:42All ears.
41:42I received a telephone call today from Robert East Salisbury.
41:49It seems that even among his own people, the feeling is that our Prime Minister is not able to deal
41:54with a national crisis.
41:57Indeed, he could be seen to be responsible for that crisis.
42:02Hospitals overflowing.
42:04Hospitals overflowing.
42:04People dying.
42:05Sovereign, you have the right to demand that a government in your name shows effective leadership.
42:13The opposition are now calling for a motion of no confidence.
42:18So, I would say, the time has come for you to summon Churchill and...
42:29And what?
42:32Insist that he go.
42:36I can't do that.
42:38You can.
42:39And should.
42:41But wouldn't that violate the Constitution?
42:45As Queen, you have the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn, also to appoint
43:01a new Prime Minister in the event of incapacity.
43:04And many would say that Churchill's behaviour now constitutes incapacity.
43:10Then a revolution must come from within.
43:13They are trying.
43:15Well, then they must try harder.
43:16They will.
43:18But would prefer it to be bloodless.
43:22So I have asked for your help and influence.
43:28I cannot do it.
43:30I will not do it.
43:32Let's not forget, it was Churchill who denied Philip's children his own surname.
43:37Dickie.
43:38And insisted that you live in Buckingham Palace.
43:40As, alas, did everyone else.
43:42And now, with looters on the street and hospital corridors stacked with the dead, he is interested in only one
43:48thing.
43:51Stopping Philip flying.
43:55What?
43:56At a crisis cabinet meeting this morning, when there should have only been one thing on the agenda, the unfolding
44:01national emergency, all our Prime Minister wanted to discuss was your husband's new hobby.
44:15I'm so sorry, sir.
44:16Who are her parents?
44:19Her father is a clergyman from Suffolk.
44:21I've been noticed.
44:22I want to go to the hospital.
44:23There is an emergency meeting at the house.
44:26The meeting you must attend.
44:27The house can wait.
44:39You wish to see me, Your Majesty?
44:41Yes, Tommy.
44:45I know how much my father depended on you and how closely you worked together.
44:52Which is why I wanted to ask your advice now.
44:56It seems our Prime Minister, a man who has led the country through many crises, is no longer leading us
45:04at all.
45:07Representations have been made to me, through an intermediary from the heart of the government, to intercede.
45:15And bid him stand down, make way for a younger man.
45:22Which brings me to my question.
45:26What are my responsibilities as Head of State?
45:33What should I do?
45:35When it's in the national interest, how far dare I go?
45:42I'm not sure if Her Majesty is aware, but shortly before your father died, the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Eaton, came,
45:51begging His Late Majesty to intervene, if not on an official level, then on a personal one, as a friend,
46:00to bid the Prime Minister to resign.
46:03What did my father say?
46:05Well, His Majesty was, like his father before him, a stickler for convention and tradition, and would never have done
46:13anything that violated the Constitution or overstepped the mark.
46:20Then I have my answer.
46:21But, that was His Majesty, not your Majesty.
46:26And I do read the newspapers, and I do listen to the wireless.
46:30And the situation we're in today is quite different than the one we were in when Mr. Eaton came to
46:35see your father.
46:39Different situation, different sovereign.
46:52Will wait for me here.
47:09Wait for me.
47:22We'll get you seen as soon as we go.
47:56Sir?
47:59Just a child.
48:04A beautiful child.
48:08I just received word from Buckingham Palace.
48:11The Queen has requested an audience.
48:14When?
48:15At your earliest convenience.
48:21All energy and hope and passion and fire.
48:31Sir?
48:34Damn it, he is.
48:36This is a huge child.
48:44Did the newspapers know I'm here?
48:46No.
48:49But it could easily be arranged.
48:52Then do it.
48:54And tell the Queen I'll be their first thing in the morning.
49:00After the papers.
49:20I'll be right back.
49:22When shall I die?
49:22I'll be right back.
49:53Come on, the Prime Minister will be here in a few moments.
50:11Is there anything, sir?
50:13Yeah, yeah.
50:13Not, man.
50:23Quiet, please, settle down.
50:26Mr. Churchill.
50:28I have witnessed scenes here today, the likes of which we have not seen since the darkest
50:35days of the Blitz.
50:39But alongside the suffering, I've also seen heroism.
50:45And where there is heroism, there will always be hope.
50:51Only God can lift the fog.
50:55But I, as Prime Minister, am in a position to ease the suffering.
51:02To that end, I pledge to make available with immediate effect more money for hospital
51:09staff, more money for equipment, and a full and independent public inquiry into the causes
51:18of air pollution.
51:19To ensure that such a calamity may never befall us again.
51:29Thank you all.
51:37The Prime Minister was alone among senior politicians
51:40to visit hospitals and respond to the crisis in person
51:43and was rewarded by cheers and applause
51:46by those suffering through the worst smog this city has ever witnessed.
51:51The headline reads,
51:52True Leader in a Crisis.
52:00Ma'am, the Prime Minister's here.
52:04The parallels between his appearance yesterday and the wartime years were striking.
52:10And his personal popularity among the people remains undimmed.
52:17Hello?
52:19Clem, you still there?
52:21Hello?
52:23Clem?
52:26Clem, can you hear me?
52:28No, I...
52:32Clem, you still there?
52:45Clemчик.
52:46Clem, you still there?
52:49Clem, you still there?
52:54Clem, you still there?
53:10CHOIR SINGS
53:41CHOIR SINGS
54:03CHOIR SINGS
54:03There's a delicate matter
54:04which I felt I needed to discuss with you
54:08in person.
54:10Concerning what?
54:14Your position.
54:18My position?
54:20Yes, your position
54:26as Prime Minister.
54:32Go on.
54:38At that point, she hesitated
54:41and then she asked me
54:43to pick either
54:45Kwajgi Nazimudin of Pakistan
54:47or Sydney Holland of New Zealand.
54:50Whatever for?
54:52To sit next to
54:53at dinner.
54:56She summoned you for that?
54:58No, I think she summoned me
55:00to haul me over the coals
55:01for my handling of the fog.
55:03But then the fog lifted
55:05and she had to make a decision
55:07right then and there
55:08in the room.
55:09You could see the wheels
55:10turning behind her eyes
55:12and then she switched
55:14a tack
55:14without so much
55:15as a flicker.
55:17Clever.
55:19No, no.
55:20Not clever.
55:20Ingenious.
55:21Why?
55:22Because it disarmed me
55:23and made me
55:24switch tack too.
55:25What about?
55:27About allowing Philip
55:28to learn to fly.
55:30He can now.
55:32Good.
55:34But he still has to ask
55:36cabinet permission
55:36to do rolls and spins.
55:49What, dear girl?
55:53Well, what if the fog
55:54hadn't lifted?
55:57And the government
55:59had continued to flounder.
56:01And people had continued
56:02to die.
56:04And Churchill had continued
56:06to cling to power
56:07and the country
56:08had continued to suffer.
56:10It doesn't feel right
56:12as head of state
56:13to do nothing.
56:15It is exactly right.
56:18Is it?
56:19But surely doing nothing
56:21is no job at all.
56:23To do nothing
56:24is the hardest job of all
56:26and it will take
56:27every ounce of energy
56:28that you have.
56:30To be impartial
56:31is not natural,
56:32not human.
56:34People will always want you
56:35to smile or agree
56:37or frown
56:38and the minute you do
56:39you will have declared
56:40a position,
56:41a point of view.
56:42and that is the one thing
56:43as sovereign
56:44that you are not
56:46entitled to do.
56:48The less you do,
56:50the less you say
56:51or agree
56:52or smile
56:53or think
56:54or feel
56:54or breathe
56:55or exist.
56:56the better.
57:01Well, that's fine
57:02for the sovereign.
57:06But where does that
57:07leave me?
57:22So, come on.
57:23How long would it take
57:24me to get my wings?
57:25Well, normally a trainee
57:27would spend anything
57:27between 100 and 120 hours
57:29in one of these things.
57:31Do you think I could do it
57:31in three months?
57:33That would be unusual.
57:34I know.
57:35I'm a false learner
57:37and believe me
57:38when I say
57:38I've got nothing else to do.
57:55I couldn't have noticed
57:57you still got a right up.
57:58Starboard and port.
57:5918 gallons?
58:00Yes.
58:01Fancy lunch in Edinburgh?
58:03Edinburgh?
58:03They made me duke there
58:05so I should probably
58:06show up from time to time
58:07unless you have
58:08more pressing engagements.
58:09No, sir.
58:10All right.
58:11I'll adjust rpms
58:13and cruising speed
58:14for range flight.
58:15We'll have to land
58:16to refuel, sir.
58:18Oh, really?
58:19Where's that?
58:20Donkester.
58:21Donkester?
58:23Right.
58:24Donkester.
58:25Oh, yeah.
58:52Ça podrá.
