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.
05:08You're 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.
06:33But 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.
06:48If it be not now, yet it will come.
06:51The 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 old lang syne.
07:55For old lang syne, my dear.
08:01For old lang syne.
08:04We'll take a cup of kindness yet for old lang syne.
08:15We, too, have brought up out the hills and pulled the daisies by.
08:25We, too, have brought up out the hills and pulled the daisies by.
09:05I'll go home, sir.
09:25I'll go home, sir.
09:49I'll go home, sir.

11:25race of this year's Royal Ascot meeting
11:27the Queen Alexandra Stakes

11:45Olympic boy
11:45cleaning right down their necks
11:47they're off the pace now as they make their start
11:58a disappointing start for last year's Yorkshire club champion
12:01and he's still ahead
12:03but behind him apprentice is gaining crowns
12:06he got the challenge from number seven
12:07five even and pulling into four
12:10majesty
12:11majesty darling

12:26with number two Olympic boy

12:57Olympic boy

12:58what are you doing wrong in Portugal?
13:01he used to be at the top
13:02now he barely competes
13:04it's
13:05it's
13:05possible that the system
13:07set up by your late father
13:08is
13:09now
13:09a little
13:10obsolete
13:12and
13:12might need
13:14kicking out
13:15throwing on the dust heap
13:19if you want to
13:20keep up with the Aga Khan
13:21of this world
13:22I would suggest
13:23you
13:24follow their lead
13:26and do what?
13:28travel around the world
13:29and catch up with all the latest developments
13:31I can't just do that
13:32in case you haven't noticed
13:34I have a job to do
13:35would only be France
13:37not
13:38Timbuktu
13:38there are experienced people
13:41who are able to
13:41deputise for you
13:42in your absence
13:52as you know
13:53this government is committed
13:55to maintaining
13:56sterling at $2.80 to the pound
13:58but with every economic blow
14:00the oil embargo
14:02the balance of payments deficit
14:03and the Dockers Union strike
14:06it's proving harder and harder to maintain
14:23and I'm afraid that now we have no alternative
14:26but to devalue the pound
14:29oh
14:31and I need hardly say
14:32it 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
14:46that I won't be here for our meeting next week
14:49perhaps the next two weeks
14:51but Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother
14:53will step in as Councillor of State
14:55oh
14:56a role she's executed many times
15:07your majesty
15:25good evening
15:26a few days ago
15:28the cabinet took its unanimous decision
15:31to devalue the pound
15:33I can now tell you
15:34why we have taken this action
15:36and more importantly
15:37what it will mean for you
15:40from now on
15:41the pound abroad
15:42will be worth 14% 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
15:52or your bank has been devalued
15:54what it does mean
15:55is that the goods we buy from abroad
15:57will be dearer
15:59so for many goods
16:00it will be cheaper
16:01to buy British
16:05this devaluation has been a hard decision
16:08and some of its consequences
16:11will be hard for a time
16:14for three years this government has fought
16:17as 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
16:26now is our chance to break free from that straitjacket
16:30seize this opportunity with both hands
16:34this is a proud nation
16:36we are out on our own
16:38now
16:40we must choose
16:42to put Britain first
16:56let's go
16:57let's go
16:59let's go
17:00let's go
17:05tonight
17:07we veterans of the Burma campaign
17:10I gathered here to renew old comradeships
17:14and to remember fallen brothers
17:16at Yang Gang Yong and Rangoon.
17:21Do you remember how it was fought?
17:23The old way, the honorable way.
17:27Body 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, we military men
17:51will always have our past glories to look back on.
17:56But what of this new generation?
17:59These young men and women
18:00for whom some of the best of us gave our lives.
18:06Decline, irrelevance,
18:07and the devaluation of pound sterling.
18:11That is the sunless future that faces them.
18:15For them, the white heat of revolution
18:18is not a forging heat.
18:21It is a melting heat.
18:23It melts the silver of our battle honors
18:26and reduces to cinders
18:28the very foundation of our economy,
18:30our currency.
18:32Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:36So, if the only glories available to this nation
18:40are its past glories,
18:44then let us cherish them now.
18:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:50Come you back, you British soldier.
18:53Come you back.
18:57Who will join me?
19:01Ship me somewhere east of Suez
19:04where the best is like the worst,
19:08where there are no Ten Commandments
19:10and a man can raise a thirst.
19:14For the temple bells are calling
19:16and it's there that I would be
19:19by the old Moomine Pagoda
19:22looking lazy at the sea.
19:26On the road to Mandalay
19:29where the old Fertile
19:32with us sick beneath the orange
19:36when we went to Mandalay
19:38on the road to Mandalay
19:44where the flying face is led
19:47and the dawn comes up like thunder
19:50out of China across the day.
20:48It must have been made very clear to me that my leadership days are over.
20:52My colleagues and I don't believe that, sir, not for a minute.
20:57As a matter of fact, we'd be delighted if you'd agree to have lunch with us at Threadneedle Street one
21:02day.
21:03Bank of England?
21:04We've been working on a proposal which we'd very much like to put to you.
21:13Sir.
21:39Thank you, Mr. Ed.
21:41But there's no need for such formalities.
21:44In the world of conservation, it's you who are the king.
21:47You're very gentle, ma'am, and you're very indulgent.
21:50I'm hoping you'd be flattered.
21:53Here, here.
21:54Hello.
21:55Allons-y.
21:57Hello.
22:01And, of course, it was Manin Commissage who came out of Bidangard, a magnificent taxpayer.
22:07Oh.
22:08It was Grand Sire, a white settler.
22:10Oh, that's right.
22:11We had a tremendous success with it.
22:13Yes.
22:14I'm a big 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 guess I will.
22:24If I'm not mistaken, this one.
22:27Oh, gosh, yes.
22:28My grandfather's one of his favorites.
22:32What would you say, six months?
22:33Yes, I said so.
22:35Nice temperament.
22:36Warm-blooded.
22:37Not too skittish.
22:38Indeed.
22:39Look at her hocks.
22:41Oh, yes.
22:42Very well proportionate.
22:43Excellent line to the bed.
22:45Yes.
22:55It was extraordinary.
22:57Not just their facilities, their entire attitude of breeding, but the fact they keep their foels
23:02and their yearlings so close.
23:04Merci.
23:05While we send ours off to graze in Ireland.
23:09Tell me honestly, is it over?
23:12Have we slipped too far behind?
23:14Not yet, ma'am.
23:16But if you want to keep up, you do need to act decisively now.
23:20It would mean rethinking the operation from top to toe, changing the personnel, changing
23:25the approach.
23:26Yes.
23:27And currently there is a drain of the best British racehorses to America.
23:31You have to ask yourself why.
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, won'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 and superannuated and 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.
24:27Our national security is in tatters.
24:29Our allies are in despair.
24:30And on our current trajectory, by 1970, we will be a vassal state.
24:37A pariah.
24:39I don't know about you, sir, but I'd sooner die than stand idly by and watch this happen.
24:45And to that end, my associates and I have come up with a plan to put the country back on
24:51track.
24:52Which is?
24:55Replacing the Prime Minister and installing a new emergency government.
25:01What?
25:02And in his place, we would need to install an inspirational figurehead.
25:07Someone who could unite the nation, command its respect.
25:11Someone who had stepped into a national leadership role before.
25:15Now, there are some obvious candidates, but frankly, none would be as good as you, sir.
25:19No, no, no. This is quite unthinkable.
25:22At this point, I should close my ears.
25:28Despite my own very profound reservations regarding our Prime Minister,
25:32what you're talking about is effectively a coup.
25:35And 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 and quite exceptional.
25:55Gerald.
25:58In order to hijack control of the economy,
26:01Wilson and his socialist colleagues have devised a plan.
26:05Plan Brutus.
26:07Plan Brutus.
26:07Which would strip the Bank of England of all its powers.
26:11Freeze the sterling balances of foreign governments.
26:14And enforce crash cuts in defence spending.
26:18Bankers 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.
26:31The crash cuts in defence expenditure.
26:33And the compulsory acquisition of all privately held overseas securities.
26:38Sure of hands.
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.
26:57We are proposing a radical revolution led by bankers, businessmen and the armed forces.
27:03Professionals who can save us from amateurism, incompetence and Russian infiltration.
27:09And as our interim leader, we 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, I suppose that sums it up.
27:55Evaluation of a gigantic loan that we all have to pay back.
27:59Britain now finds itself looking at a complete reversal of government policy
28:02after three years of devaluation and denials.
28:05No!
28:06No!
28:07No!
28:08No!
28:08No!
28:08No!
28:09No!
28:09No!
28:09No!
28:11No!
28:11No!
28:11No!
28:11No!
28:12No!
28:25No!
28:32No!
28:44No!
28:46No!
28:46No!
28:51No!
28:53No!
28:54No!
28:55No!
28:55There was no training and outside in Trot Morton Street
28:58Brokers and jobbers crowned together to try and sort out what the problem is
29:05Morning boys. Morning sir. Morning Mr. Tankard
29:08They're testing for minerals, sulfur, calcium
29:11Correct nutrition is vital now
29:14When it comes to the bone strength and bone formation in the foals were raised
29:18Yes sir. Tommy's one of the best. Thank you sir
29:21Does Tommy ever come to England? Oh no no no
29:25Paris worked up to find that France was on the brink of civil war
29:28With the rebel generals in Algeria sent paratroopers
29:31Defense measures were quickly put into operation
29:38All the airports were closed to flights in and out
29:41Nobody in the capital knew the rebels' intentions
29:43But frantic bomb outranges here and elsewhere showed
29:46That 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, Porche
30:18What? 1967. Why?
30:21Because having seen what I've just seen
30:22One 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
30:32They'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 with that
30:40150?
30:42Well, not quite that, but certainly 80
30:4440-year-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?
31:01What 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
31:17Oh
31:29Would you ever consider it?
31:33Me?
31:33Why not?
31:35You're brilliant
31:35And you know the family inside out
31:39I'm honoured
31:41But I'm also very ambitious
31:44I could never accept
31:46Unless I felt sure
31:47We had every chance of success at the highest level
31:51And in terms of our research
31:53There's still one thing that we really need to see
31:56What?
31:57Their training facilities
31:59If we're going to gain the edge
32:00There's still a lot to learn from the Americans
32:04Fortunately, how much longer is that going to take?
32:07Well
32:12Yes, please
32:40Jasper
32:42Jasper
32:43In the past decade alone
32:45There have, by my reckoning
32:47Been 73 coups
32:50In 46 different countries around the world
32:52And the success of some of these
32:54Might encourage us
32:57In Ghana, two years ago
32:59President Nkrumah was ousted
33:01With just 500 men
33:03And in 1961
33:05In South Korea
33:06Major General Park Chung-hee
33:08Seized power with
33:093,500 men
33:13And in 1964
33:14In Gabon
33:16Just 150 men
33:18Were able to arrest
33:20President Nkrumah
33:21And thus gain control
33:23Over the levers of state power
33:25And of course
33:26It was with just one legion
33:28That Caesar crossed the Rubicon
33:31And perhaps we would not seek
33:33To follow his fate
33:35A six-semper
33:36Tyrannis gentleman
33:38And what all successful insurgencies
33:41Have in common
33:42Are five key elements
33:45Control of the media
33:46Control of the economy
33:48And the capture of administrative targets
33:51For which you need the fourth element
33:53The loyalty of the military
33:56Now, in Ghana and Gabon
33:58This can be achieved
33:59With a handful of battalions
34:01But here
34:02In the United Kingdom
34:05We would need to secure parliament
34:09Whitehall
34:10Ministry of Defence
34:11And the Cabinet Office
34:13Prime Minister would be arrested
34:15Of course
34:16Along with other politicians
34:17Still loyal
34:18We would have to shut down
34:20The airports
34:20Air traffic control
34:22Same with the train stations
34:24Curfews will be put in place
34:26Martial law declared
34:28And I haven't even mentioned
34:29The police
34:32It would take tens of thousands
34:34Of unquestioningly loyal servicemen
34:36And even in my heyday
34:38I could never command that
34:41Which brings me to the fifth element
34:45Legitimacy
34:47Now, our government
34:48Draws its strength
34:49From long-established institutions
34:52That support it
34:53The courts
34:54Body of common law
34:56The constitution
34:59For any action
35:00Against the state
35:01To succeed
35:01You'd have to overthrow
35:02These as well
35:03But in a highly evolved
35:05Democracy
35:06Such as ours
35:07Their authority
35:09Is sacrosanct
35:12Which is why
35:13Gentlemen
35:14A coup d'etat
35:16In the United Kingdom
35:19Doesn't stand a chance
35:31Doesn't stand a chance
35:31Unless
35:34Unless
35:34Unless
35:35Unless we have the support
35:35Of the one person
35:36Not yet mentioned
35:39Do you see the temper
35:40Do you see the temper
35:42The crown has
35:44At its disposal
35:45Unique constitutional powers
35:48Which could still make
35:49Something like this possible
35:52In 1834
35:53In 1834
35:53William IV
35:54Used them
35:54To dismiss his government
35:55In the face of opposition
35:56From the house
35:58And in 1920
36:00The emergency powers act
36:02Was passed
36:02Which gives the sovereign power
36:04In certain circumstances
36:06To declare a state of emergency
36:08By proclamation
36:09Meaning
36:10Our queen
36:12Could dissolve parliament
36:13And appoint a new government
36:15And a prime minister as well
36:17She's also commander in chief
36:20Of the armed forces
36:21They swear allegiance to her
36:23And not to parliament
36:24So it could count on their support
36:27To see it through
36:31She is our Caesar
36:39And you think
36:40She might entertain this idea
36:42The circumstances
36:43Are certainly compelling
36:45I've made a list here
36:46Of exactly how compelling
36:49And as her second cousin
36:51I am in an ideal position
36:53To ask
37:04Not hungry?
37:05No
37:10Somehow today has managed
37:11To be one of the most
37:12Enjoyable days of my life
37:15And at the same time
37:16One of the most depressing
37:22Telephone call for you ma'am
37:23Lord Manbatten
37:23I'll call him back
37:33If I tell you something
37:34Do you promise it will stay between us?
37:36Of course
37:40This is how I'd like to spend
37:41All my time
37:45Owning horses
37:46Breeding horses
37:47Racing horses
37:48It's what makes me truly happy
37:53And I actually think
37:54It's what I was born to do
37:55Until the other thing
37:57Came along
37:58That someone else
37:59Was born to do
38:00That they elected
38:01Not to do
38:02Which meant that
38:03First my father
38:03And then I
38:04Had to do a job
38:05We were never meant to do
38:08Well you've managed
38:09To make it look like
38:10The other thing
38:11Is the only thing
38:12You were ever meant to do
38:16You're kind
38:18But it isn't
38:34And on days like today
38:37In places like this
38:39In company like this
38:43You get a glimpse
38:43Of what it all
38:44Might have been like
38:48The unlived life
38:52And how much happier
38:53It might have made me
39:02Not now
39:07Who did I just
39:08Slightly
39:08I shall have to grovel now
39:10No it's all right
39:11He'll understand
39:12I'm so sorry
39:14Your Majesty
39:14Yes all right
39:15I'm coming
39:16Honestly
39:17Only Dickie
39:23Yes
39:25Thank you
39:26I'll talk to you
39:53You are persistent
39:55Is it really so important
39:59Yes your majesty
40:01Prime minister
40:05Ma'am
40:06I have reason to believe
40:08There is currently
40:09A full blown plot
40:10Developing against me
40:11And the democratically
40:13Elected Labour government
40:15That governs in your name
40:16Being led by a senior member
40:19Of your family
40:20Who?
40:24Lord Mountbatten
40:26And that he
40:27In cahoots with Cecil King
40:30The chairman of the mirror group newspapers
40:32Has been attempting
40:33To overthrow this government
40:38Now I feel compelled
40:39To remind your majesty
40:41That tolerance of the royal family
40:43Is hanging by a thread
40:44As it is
40:47Now throughout my time in office
40:50I have done my level best
40:51To protect you
40:54But if members of the royal family
40:56Were to interfere
40:58With the political business
40:59Of the day
41:00I would be left
41:01With no option
41:01But to side
41:02With the republican elements
41:05Of my cabinet
41:06Which I have successfully
41:07Controlled
41:08Until now
41:12And take steps
41:16Leave it with me
41:17Prime minister
41:19Your majesty
41:28Please
41:29I am
41:29I am
41:34I am
41:35I am
41:37I am
41:49I am
41:51I am
41:51What?
42:15Drink up, Portie.
42:17We're getting home.
42:25We're getting home.
42:57Lord Mountbatten, Your Majesty.
43:10Your Majesty.
43:17You asked to see me.
43:19I did.
43:21Well, 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.
50:01Yeah.
50:27I get it going.
50:27I have to think.
50:27I try a good meeting in four years.
50:28Not that one was the best, but you thought it was the best.
50:34You must sleep, sister.
50:49Princess Alice, nowhere at all.
51:05Jesus, nowhere at all.
51:07The dream of your life is in any danger.
51:08You can't believe this.
51:15Little little dream about it.
52:18You.
52:20Don't sound so surprised.
52:21I am. It's been so long.
52:27So how was France, America?
52:32Educational.
52:35The trip was supposed to be a week. You were gone almost a month.
52:38Yes.
52:40With Porchy?
52:42Yes.
52:45Was 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.
52:58Otherwise, 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.
54:48I'd rather not hear you once.
