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.
03:08Shouldn't we get us started now?
03:09The ground seems terribly close.
03:12It's too low to restart, so we'll do a dead stick landing.
03:16OK. I have control. You have control.
03:37That was wonderful. Same time next week, sir.
03:41How about tomorrow?
04:11How about tomorrow?
04:14How about tomorrow?
04:17How about tomorrow?
04:39How about tomorrow?
04:44How about tomorrow?
04:46How about tomorrow?
04:51How about tomorrow?
04:54How about tomorrow?
05:32Let's go.
05:37Let's go.
05:39Sir.
05:47Johnson, what do you make of this?
05:55Interesting.
05:57Sir.
06:01I think you should see this.
06:03I see.
06:08Sir.
06:11Goodness me.
06:16Excuse me.
06:17You can't go in there.
06:19Excuse me, sir.
06:22Sorry, sir.
06:24Thought you should see these.
06:29Good God.
06:33We must send a warning to cover our backs.
06:40Kenneth, it should probably come from you as chief scientist.
06:44Address it to the PM.
06:46You'll never read it, of course.
06:48But the important thing is, we've sent it.
06:52I'll get you to Dally Street right away.
06:55I'll get you to the plane.
07:12Right there, please.
07:23If I'm out, if she could lean forward.
07:30Deep breath in.
07:35And out.
07:38Yes, 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.
08:08What are they rehearsing?
08:13I don't know.
08:15I don't know.
08:57Oh, there you are.
09:15I'm not a scientist. I can't say I understand it, but what I can tell you is we don't get
09:23a weather
09:24warning like this every day. We don't get one every month either. In fact, I've never heard
09:30of us getting one at all. Does the name Donora mean anything to you?
09:39Donora?
09:43Well, of course I remember Donora, who was a scandal. A small mill town in America outside
09:50Philadelphia? Pittsburgh. They had a smog brought on by a freak anti-cyclone, which trapped
09:57the emissions from the local copperworks in the fog. In a few days, a number of people
10:04died. Twenty.
10:06And several thousand became seriously ill from the poisonous fog. After the incident, a cross-party
10:14delegation was sent to Donora on an urgent fact-finding mission, they recommended that
10:19clean air zones be set up all around London as a precautionary measure.
10:25Hmm. I never saw the report.
10:27With good reason.
10:29Our Prime Minister threw it away, claiming it wasn't a priority.
10:34Can you prove that? I can, Mr. Utley.
10:46The cabinet minutes where it was discussed.
10:54He's insisted the country keep burning coal irresponsibly this winter to give the illusion
11:01of a solid economy. This is great, Clem. It's interesting, for sure. What I don't understand
11:14is this, why a Downing Street employee working for the government should come to me with this
11:22information. I've read the Aeneid, Mr. Thurman. Do not trust the horse Trojans. I fear the
11:31Greeks, even when they bring gifts.
11:35Mr. Utley, I entered the civil service to serve the public and to serve government. Any 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. Mr. Utley, this is a collection of hesitant, frightened old men
11:59unable to unseat a tyrannical, delusional even older one. Yours was the most radical, forward-thinking
12:10government this country has ever seen. How 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
12:30him out of the door and you back in. And to that end, you come to me with a master
12:38plan
12:39that involves me crucifying the Tories for their failure to deal with a fog which has yet
12:45shows no sign of appearing. At present, I can see stars.
13:06Let's pray.
13:07Let's pray.
13:12Let's pray.
13:18Let's pray.
13:20Let's pray.
13:24Let's pray.
13:32Let's pray.
13:53Good night.
14:08Miss Scott, thank you for your conscientiousness, but it's late.
14:13You're home.
14:13I am, sir.
14:14You're no good to be tired.
14:16Good evening to you.
14:19What?
14:20Still here?
14:21Good night, sir.
14:26Good night.
14:34Good evening, 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 them
15:17home only to have
15:19their 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 and 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
16:03you are
16:05you are
16:06you are
16:32you are
16:33you are
16:35Good morning.
16:36The time is 8 o'clock on the 6th of December, and here is the news.
16:40London 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.
16:59The 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.
17:19Be 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.
18:01Oh, I do.
18:15Oh, my God.
18:22Oh, my God.
18:24Oh, my God.
18:25Oh, my God.
18:38I saw that.
18:40Might 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.
18:54Which one? There are two.
18:57The young one.
18:58Oh, 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.
19:21Her daughter, Queen Elizabeth, is now Queen.
19:25So she is...
19:27The Queen.
19:29Bravo.
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.
19:57Bad time?
19:58Not at all.
20:02How are you?
20:03Well, I'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,
20:23there was something I wanted to talk to you about.
20:26Fire away.
20:38I was listening to the wireless this morning
20:41where they described this fog as an act of God.
20:46Now, in your letter that you sent me,
20:50you said loyalty to the ideal you have inherited
20:58is your duty above everything else
21:00because the calling comes from the highest source,
21:05from God himself.
21:07Yes.
21:10Do you really believe that?
21:14Monarchy is God's sacred mission
21:17to grace and dignify the earth,
21:19to give ordinary people an ideal to strive towards,
21:23an example of nobility and duty
21:25to raise them in their wretched lives.
21:28Monarchy is a calling from God.
21:32That is why you're crowned in an abbey,
21:35not 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,
21:44which means that you are answerable to God
21:47in your duty,
21:49not the public.
21:52I'm not sure that my husband would agree with that.
21:55He would argue that in any equitable modern society
21:59that church and state should be separated,
22:03that if God has servants,
22:04they're priests, not kings.
22:07He would also say that he watched his own family destroyed
22:11because they were seen by the people
22:12to embody indefensible and unreasonable ideas.
22:16Yes, but he represents a royal family
22:18of carpetbaggers and parvenues
22:20that goes back what?
22:22Ninety years?
22:24What would he know of Alfred the Great,
22:26the 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.
22:40Next question?
22:44It's chaos out there.
22:46Trains disrupted,
22:48air services cancelled.
22:50At 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
23:00has 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.
23:27I can't wait for it.
23:39There you go.
23:42I can't wait for it!!
23:47I
23:47can't wait. I
23:50can't wait. I
23:54can't wait. I
23:55can't wait. I
23:55can't wait.
24:13I'm glad to see someone else made it in.
24:16No one saw this coming, did they?
24:19No.
24:27Prime Minister?
24:29Sir?
24:50Ah! You made it! Bravo!
24:52Oh, 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.
24:59Oh, it wasn't easy.
25:01Just crossing the road, you take your life in your hands.
25:03Oh, then 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, and the business gets done,
25:16and the country's governed.
25:21What's my personal contribution?
25:25Ah.
25:26You improve the quality of life for all that deal with you.
25:32An ornament.
25:34A flower.
25:37By comparison, at my age, you were a published writer.
25:42And a cavalry officer posted to India fighting 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.
25:57Oh, that's not quite what I had in mind.
25:59Hear this, young men and women everywhere, and proclaim it far and wide.
26:05The 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.
26:28You were 24.
26:33All energy and hope, and passion and fire.
26:39It's remarkable.
26:45You found something you liked in that young man?
26:51I did.
26:52I did.
27:22Good morning.
27:23The time is 8 o'clock on the 7th of December, and here is the news.
27:28A serious fog that brought much of the capital to a standstill yesterday continues this morning,
27:34with emergency services struggling to cope and widespread disruption reported across the nation.
27:41Flares are being used to guide motorists in parts of the capital.
27:45Trains are stopped or running hours behind schedule from major London railway stations.
27:52The Prime Minister is facing criticism for failure to deal with the mounting crisis.
27:58London Airport is closed again today with all flights crowded.
28:02Yes.
28:03The unmoving fog, which has spread to over 30 miles wide, is likely to cause complete darkness by 2 o
28:09'clock this afternoon.
28:24You alright?
28:28You're not.
28:31Go on, let's get you up.
28:33No.
28:34No, I'm fine, I promise.
28:38It's just cause 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, where anti-colonial passions continue to run high and where our soldiers
29:01continue to come under fire from nationalist insurgents.
29:05It is vital that we remain and successfully defend the Suez Canal,
29:12a point that I will be making in person to the Commonwealth heads when I host them for the weekend
29:19at Chequers.
29:20Weather permitting?
29:23Indeed.
29:24What is the latest information that you have?
29:26About the weather?
29:29It's fog, ma'am.
29:31It will lift eventually.
29:33I was hoping for something more scientific.
29:37Then I will ensure that a barometric report is included in your box tomorrow, complete with isobars and isohumes.
29:48It has been an unusually cold winter and there are only so many things that I, as Prime Minister, am
29:56prepared to inflict on your subjects as a reward for winning a world war and prevailing over fascism, evil and
30:03tyranny.
30:04Letting them freeze is not one of them.
30:08You do not seem unduly concerned.
30:10I'm not.
30:11You do know that my late father wrote many years ago to your predecessors to express his deep concern about
30:19the inner city power stations that your party was building.
30:25Indeed.
30:27And I was sympathetic with your father's concerns at the time.
30:32I also have sympathy with the leader articles in the newspapers today.
30:38Begging for blood.
30:40Wanting my head.
30:43People have to be angry at someone.
30:46But as leader, one cannot simply react to everything.
30:52We need the power stations.
30:53We need the coal.
30:55People need to burn coal to warm their homes.
30:58It is weather.
30:59It will pass.
31:01Well, I do hope so.
31:03Not least because my husband's mood is intolerable.
31:07Why?
31:09Well, being caged in like this.
31:11He can't fly.
31:15Fly where?
31:16Well, nowhere.
31:18He's learning to fly.
31:21Whatever for?
31:23Have we not enough qualified pilots to take him where he needs to go?
31:27No, he wants to fly himself.
31:30It's a boyhood dream.
31:32It'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 is a private matter.
31:42And the father of the future king of England risking his life needlessly is quite unacceptable.
31:48Please do not curtail my 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 one must draw a line in the sand.
32:00And the job of drawing that line falls to cabinet, ma'am, not to you.
32:05Something your dear late papa would certainly have taught you had he been granted more time to complete your education.
32:13And now our time is up.
32:20Until next week.
32:22Don't worry.
32:25Take this easy, Mike.
32:27Sir.
32:29Perfect.
32:33Meteorological report.
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, which has already caused two days of chaos across the capital, has worsened overnight.
32:50The great coal-burning electricity stations in Battersea and Fulham have attempted to reduce emissions of poisonous sulfur dioxide from
32:57their chimneys.
32:57But we've been told that it is unlikely they will be able to make any significant change to the air
33:03quality.
33:04The government is expected to make a statement later today.
33:17Come on.
33:18Let's get you to a hospital.
33:20Fine.
33:21You're not.
33:22Come on.
33:25Shoes.
33:30Come on.
33:34Here we go.
33:36I'm in.
33:38And the other.
33:52I can't breathe.
33:55Do as I say and hold on to me.
34:07Come on.
34:08Go here.
34:16Go down.
34:23Look out.
34:25Go, go.
34:25Quick.
34:26Hold my hand.
34:27Whoa, OK.
34:27No way!
34:51Control of this story is getting away from us.
34:54the opposition's blood is up we have to respond respond how I would suggest by
35:01commissioning a public inquiry an inquiry will be expensive
35:09Winston people are angry they see us as the culprits culpable for what it's fog
35:15fog is fog it comes and it goes away but I'm glad that the Prime Minister finds
35:23time for liberty perhaps I should remind him exactly how serious the situation has
35:28now become this morning a suburban twain collided with a gang of well-wing workmen
35:33killing several and injuring a great many more in part of the capital there is now
35:38a total breakdown in law and order hospitals are filling up and as our
35:42citizens are breathing in poisonous sulfur dioxide
35:55sometimes we have sunshine too much sunshine and they call it a drought then we have rain
36:03too much rain and they call it a deluge and find a way to blame us for that too
36:08it's an act of God Bobbottie it's weather and for better or for worse we get a great deal of
36:15it
36:15on this island frankly there are more pressing matters to deal with like what the Duke of Edinburgh
36:38telephones are the markets of Salisbury not now he asked me to stress the importance of the matter
36:50Bobbottie thanks for taking my call Diggie are you alone yes can anyone over hear what you're saying
37:04no good
37:09it's chaos
37:10I know the reward is full every corridor too most of the doctors are sick now those that are well
37:16can't get in
37:17it was better than this in the war what do you need more equipment or masks masks are bloody useless
37:23they're just for show to make it look like the government's doing something
37:26then what is needed money people train staff help 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 the 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

41:20right
41:20I don't know my place
41:31what's the matter with him
41:34nothing
41:36he's just feeling a little
41:38grounded
41:38ignore it
41:41right
41:42all ears
41:42I
41:44received
41:44a
41:45telephone call today from
41:47Robert E. Salisbury
41:49it seems that even among his own people the feeling is
41:51that our Prime Minister is not able to deal with a national crisis
41:57indeed he could be seen to be responsible for that crisis
42:02hospitals overflowing people dying
42:04as sovereign
42:06you 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
42:19I would say
42:21the time has come for you to
42:25summon Churchill and
42:28and what
42:32insist that he go
42:36I can't do that
42:38you can
42:38you can
42:39and should
42:41but
42:42wouldn't that violate the constitution
42:45as
42:46queen
42:50you
42:51have the right
42:52to be consulted
42:54the right
42:55to
42:56encourage
42:57the right to warn
42:59also
43:00to appoint a new Prime Minister in the event of incapacity
43:04and many would say that Churchill's behaviour now
43:07constitutes 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
43:19would prefer it
43:20to be bloodless
43:22so have asked for your help
43:24and influence
43:28I cannot do it
43:30I will not do it
43:32let's
43:32not forget
43:33it was Churchill
43:35who denied Philip's children his own surname
43:37Dickie
43:38and insisted that you live in Buckingham Palace
43:40as alas
43:41did everyone else
43:41and now with looters on the street
43:44and hospital corridors stacked with the dead
43:46he is interested in only one thing
43:51stopping Philip flying
43:55what?
43:56at a crisis cabinet meeting this morning
43:58when there should have only been one thing on the agenda
44:00under the unfolding national emergency
44:04all our Prime Minister wanted to discuss
44:08was your husband's new hobby
44:14I am so sorry sir
44:16who are her parents?
44:19her father is a clergyman from Suffolk
44:21I have been noticed
44:22they want to go to the hospital
44:23there is an emergency meeting
44:25at the house
44:25the 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
44:49and how closely you worked together
44:52which is why I wanted to ask your advice
44:54now
44:56it seems our Prime Minister
44:58a man who has led the country through many crises
45:02is no longer leading us at all
45:06representations have been made to me
45:09through an intermediary from the heart of the government
45:13to intercede
45:15and bid and stand down
45:18make way for a younger man
45:19make way for a younger man
45:22which brings me to my question
45:26what are my responsibilities
45:29as head of state?
45:33what should I do?
45:35when it's in the national interest
45:37how far dare I go?
45:42I'm not sure if her majesty is aware
45:45but shortly before your father died
45:48the foreign secretary, Mr. Eaton
45:50came
45:51begging his late majesty
45:53to intervene
45:54if not on an official level
45:56then on a personal one
45:58as a friend
45:59to bid the Prime Minister to resign
46:03what did my father say?
46:05well
46:07his majesty was like his father before him
46:09a stickler for convention and tradition
46:12and would never have done anything
46:13that violated the constitution
46:15or overstepped the mark
46:20then I have my answer
46:21but
46:23that was his majesty
46:24not your majesty
46:26and I do read the newspapers
46:28and I do listen to the wireless
46:30and the situation we're in today
46:31is quite different
46:33to the one we were in
46:34when Mr. Eaton came to see your father
46:39different situation
46:41different sovereign
46:54wait for me here
47:00oh my god
47:01look at me
47:14should grin
47:16wait for me
47:23one of them
47:25in the background
47:25to how many people are coming
47:26today
47:27there
47:28Come on.
47:29Come on.
47:46Sir.
47:59Just a child.
48:04A beautiful child.
48:08I just received word from Buckingham Palace.
48:11Oh.
48:12The Queen has requested an audience.
48:14When?
48:15At your earliest convenience.
48:21All energy and hope and passion and fire.
48:35Damn it, he is.
48:36Oh, shh, shh.
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.
48:59After the papers.
49:25After the papers.
49:34Thank God.
49:39Thank God.
49:42Oh, sorry.
49:43Come on, actually.
49:45Come on, actually.
49:52Just come on.
49:53And the Prime Minister will be here in a few moments.
50:02How are you, sir?
50:04Come on, sir.
50:13Come on.
50:18Come on.
50:20Come on.
50:21Come on.
50:21Come on.
50:21Come on, sir.
50:22Come on.
50:23Come on.
50:23Come on.
50:23Come on.
50:23Come on.
50:24Come on.
50:24Come on.
50:26Come on.
50:27Come on.
50:27Mr. Churchill.
50:28I have witnessed scenes here today, the likes of which we have not seen since the darkest days of the
50:37Blitz.
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. But 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 staff, more money for equipment,
51:13and a full and independent public inquiry into the causes of air pollution, to ensure that such a calamity may
51:25never befall us again.
51:37The Prime Minister was alone among senior politicians to visit hospitals and respond to the crisis in person, and was
51:44rewarded by cheers and applause by those suffering through the worst smog this city has ever witnessed.
51:51The headline reads, True 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.
52:22While the war is awake, Ramon, the first trouble is명이……
52:26Clem, can you hear me?
52:28No? Right.
52:30B.
52:32B.
52:33B.
52:33B.
52:33and.

55:30He can now good, but he still has to ask cabinet permission to do rolls and spins
55:49What dear girl
55:53Well, what is the fog hadn't lifted and the government to continue to flounder
56:01The people had continued to die and
56:05Churchill had continued to cling to power and the country had continued to suffer
56:10It doesn't feel right as head of state to do nothing
56:15It is exactly right
56:18Is it?
56:19But surely doing nothing is no job at all
56:23To do nothing is the hardest job of all and it will take every ounce of energy that you have
56:30To be impartial is not natural, not human
56:33People will always want you to smile or agree or frown and the minute you do you will have declared
56:40a position
56:41A point of view and that is the one thing as sovereign that you are not entitled to do
56:48The less you do the less you say or agree or smile
56:53Think or feel or breathe or exist the better
57:01Well, that's fine for the sovereign
57:06Where does that leave me
57:22So, go on
57:23How long would it take me to get my wings?
57:25Well, normally a trainee would spend anything between 100 and 120 hours in one of these things
57:30Do you think I could do it in three months?
57:33That would be unusual
57:34I'm a fast learner
57:37And believe me when I say I've got nothing else to do
57:55I couldn't have noticed you've still got a right up, starboard and port, 18 gallons
58:00Yes
58:01Fancy lunch in Edinburgh
58:02Edinburgh?
58:03They made me duke there
58:05So I should probably show up from time to time
58:07Unless you have more pressing engagements
58:09No, sir
58:10All right
58:11I'll adjust rpms and cruising speed for range flying
58:15We'll have to land to refuel, sir
58:17R.E.F. Milligan
58:18Oh, really?
58:19Where's that?
58:20Donkester
58:21Donkester?
58:23Right
58:44Oh, really?
58:46I see you in the next episode
58:47Yeah
58:53We'll be a man
58:54You don't feel like
58:54No
58:54No
58:54No
