07:04was she
07:05obsessed
07:33all right
07:37It is a wonderful day. First of all, for Britain, that's the most important thing.
07:42The TUC-Hodat is now a dead document.
07:44Though that didn't mean...
07:45It is a brilliant and remarkable stamina that has kept her centre-stay throughout this election.
07:49Mrs. Thatcher believes you've got to make some transference of resources from the public to the private sector.
07:53There's going to be a period...
07:54It's a woman with a mission.
07:56She believes the ordinary people of Britain will come to a company.
07:59Come on.
08:02Mrs. Thatcher!
08:04Mrs. Thatcher!
08:05Mrs. Thatcher!
08:06Mrs. Thatcher!
08:07I will not be drawn on any subject save the weather.
08:11It's a lovely day.
08:13It's looking like a comfortable victory for the Conservative Party and the prospect of our first ever woman Prime Minister.
08:20So what do we know about Margaret...
08:21That's the last thing this country needs.
08:23What?
08:24Two women running the shop.
08:26Perhaps that's precisely what this country needs.
08:29I'd rather like what I've seen of her so far.
08:31What? The shopkeeper's daughter?
08:32An alderman shopkeeper's daughter who worked hard and gained a scholarship to Oxford.
08:37Yes, to study chemistry.
08:38Yes, but later changed direction and qualified as a barrister while raising twin children.
08:42You try doing that.
08:42What about her character?
08:44It says here, as a young woman she applied for a job as a food research chemist and was rejected
08:50after the personnel department assessed her as being headstrong, obstinate and dangerously self-opinionated.
08:56Really?
08:57Who else around here does that sound like?
08:59There must be hope and all the polls show you comfortably ahead.
09:02We never count our chickens before they hatch and we don't count Number 10 Downing Street before it's that.
09:11Thank you very much. Thank you.
09:13What we're seeing now is history in the making.
09:17Britain's first woman prime minister, a conviction politician, who's made no secret of the fact she believes the country has
09:23to change from top to bottom.
09:25Going to the palace, presumably to tell her queen exactly that.
09:35Mr. and Mrs. Thatcher, all I need is.
09:38Mr. and Mrs. Thatcher, all I need is.
09:49The leader of the opposition, Your Majesty.
09:56Mrs. Thatcher.
09:59Your Majesty.
10:05Your party has won the election.
10:07It is my very great pleasure to invite you to form a government in my name.
10:12Congratulations, Prime Minister.
10:15Thank you, Mum.
10:18Please.
10:27Your family must be very proud. You have two children.
10:30Yes, but grown up now and out of the house.
10:33And your husband is retired, is that right?
10:36Yes, but he won't get in the way, if that's what you're asking.
10:40Dennis is very good at taking care of himself.
10:44His golf clubs will be in the hallway. He will come and go as he pleases.
10:48He knows how busy I will be and how hard I intend to work.
10:53To business, then.
10:55Have you decided on your first cabinet?
10:57I have.
10:58It may surprise you to learn that I enjoy predicting ministerial comings and goings.
11:03It's like the races.
11:04I like to study form and odds.
11:06Who's in, who's out.
11:07I also like to predict cabinets.
11:10My best so far was Mr Wilson's secondary shuffle.
11:13I got 90%.
11:15Would you like to hear my predictions for yours?
11:18I'm assuming no women.
11:21Women?
11:22In cabinet.
11:24No, certainly not.
11:25Well, not just because there aren't any suitable candidates.
11:30But I have found women in general tend not to be suited to high office.
11:35Oh, why's that?
11:37Well, they've become too emotional.
11:41Well, I doubt you'll have that trouble with me.
11:50Now, Willie Whitelaw, Home Office.
11:54Yes.
11:55Tick.
11:56Geoffrey Howe, Treasury.
11:59Yes.
12:00Tick.
12:01Hirsham.
12:02Lord Chancellor.
12:03Yes.
12:06Walker.
12:07Hazeltine.
12:08Biffin.
12:08Pryor.
12:09She got most of them right.
12:12She didn't guess St. John Stevens as minister for the arts,
12:15but that's only because she'd already correctly picked him for the leader of the house.
12:20Smart cookie.
12:21Yes.
12:22Quite different to how I imagined.
12:25More interested than informed.
12:28With a commendable appetite for work.
12:32Which I'm told she keeps up throughout the summer holidays.
12:36I love thinking we might work very well together.
12:41Two menopausal women.
12:43That'll be smooth, right?
12:45I heard that.
12:47Hmm.
13:10Don't need to be dead.
13:12Any extra stress on you, I'm simply saying.
13:15Hmm.
13:32Oh, well, it's up to talk to me today.
13:34Hey.
14:11Are you going stalking with the boss?
14:13She insisted.
14:15Good.
14:21Obviously your life is your own business.
14:23And your career as a showjumper is your own business too.
14:27But I heard you're thinking of withdrawing from competition.
14:30Is that true?
14:32Yes.
14:34I've had such a bad run recently.
14:35With badminton coming up and a chance for an Olympic competition again?
14:39I know.
14:40But Mark has decided to compete himself this year.
14:43And that would mean us training together.
14:45Being on the circuit together.
14:46I see.
14:47Is that such a bad thing?
14:51He is your husband.
14:52Just a band.
14:58We were all so proud having an actual Olympian in the family.
15:06An Olympian who spent much of the past year on her backside.
15:09Come on.
15:10This isn't like you.
15:13Remind me what is like me.
15:16I seem not to just have forgotten how to ride, but who I am.
15:18Well, then let me remind you that you are the most brilliant, resilient, most determined young woman that I met.
15:37And the nasty dose of the horrors when she sits on a horse.
15:43He will go again.
15:44With work, with determination, and a Battenberg refusal to give in.
15:58You ready?
15:59Well, good luck.
16:08It might be too hot, fine, with the weather suit still.
16:10Yeah, it's all right.
16:11Come on, next.
16:12Come on.
16:13Try as well.
16:13Come on, girl.
16:17Ready?
16:17Thanks.
16:18What about the guns?
16:18Are they coming over?
16:19I thought we had a shot.
16:20I thought we had a shot.
16:38Sir, I have a telephone for you.
16:44Hello.
16:45Dear boy.
16:46My office rang Buckingham Palace, what must be an hour ago, and I've been put through to about nine different
16:51extensions.
16:52Where have we finally reached you?
16:54North East Iceland, in a lodge on the river Hofzell.
16:57What are you doing there?
16:58It's salmon fishing with friends.
17:01You at Classybourne, with the whole gang?
17:03The whole tribe.
17:04Everyone's asking after you.
17:07You're going to be in London next week.
17:08I'd like to see you.
17:09I won't.
17:10I have a rendezvous with Camilla.
17:12We found a couple of days where we could catch up.
17:15Oh, Charles.
17:17I'm not still seeing her.
17:18You know what the family thinks.
17:19Yes, I'm perfectly aware of what the family thinks.
17:22And what I think, too?
17:24Yes.
17:25And the richness of that is not lost on me, either.
17:28The idea that you, of all people, should lecture me about the sanctity of marriage and affairs of the heart
17:33needing to be conventional.
17:34Because you and Edwina hardly blazed a trail in that department.
17:37At least when Camilla and I commit adultery, there aren't national security implications involved.
17:42That was uncalled for.
17:43So is your unwelcome intervention in this matter.
17:47Honestly, you make a great show of being my ally in this family.
17:50Watching my back.
17:51But when the chips are down, you're just a quizling.
17:54A fifth columnist.
17:56Playing for the other side.
17:57The fact is, I haven't met anyone I like as much as Camilla.
18:00Who is herself trapped in a marriage of your engineering.
18:02With a husband who's bedding half at Cloucestershire.
18:06Invite us both to Brawland soon and you'll see how happy we actually make one another.
18:14That is, if my happiness is even remotely important to you.
18:19Now I must go.
18:52Oh, come on, Daddy.
18:55Look at the pie.
18:57Nicholas!
18:59Timothy!
19:01Timothy!
19:03Timothy!
19:29Oh, my God.
19:56Get this off to the Prince of Wales.
20:13Right, time to catch some lobster.
20:48The Prince of Wales
21:24Let's go.
21:30Where did you see him?
21:32Just up there.
21:38Here's a feeling that it fills our fault.
21:54Ahead!
21:56Ahead!

28:41This is your duty now
28:43Your most important task
28:46You're more than a man
28:48More than a prince
28:50And one day, dear boy
28:52You shall be king
28:55And now, to the sea
28:58I miss you enormously
29:00There's no one whose company I enjoy more
29:04But I think you know that
29:06Your ever-loving
29:08Honorary grandpa
29:10Dickie
29:16Yes?
29:36Your Majesty the Queen
29:37Your Majesty
29:38Prime Minister
29:41This is a very great tragedy
29:45Lord Mountbatten's death leaves a gap that can never be filled
29:50Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family
29:55And, of course, to those of the servicemen killed at Warren Point today
29:59I am sick and tired of those who would seek to rationalise and make excuses for the atrocities committed by
30:08the IRA
30:09There's no such thing as political murder or political bombing or political violence
30:16There's only criminal murder, criminal bombing and criminal violence
30:21And I give you my word
30:24I will wage a war against the Irish Republican Army
30:29With relentless determination
30:31And without mercy
30:34Until that war is won
30:54I will make a war against the Irish Republican Army
30:54I will make a war against the Irish Republican Army
30:54I will make a war against the Irish Republican Army
30:56I will make a war against the Irish Republican Army
30:57I will make a war against the Irish Republican Army
30:57I will make a war against the Irish Republican Army
30:57I will make a war against the Irish Republican Army
30:58I will make a war against the Irish Republican Army
31:00I will make a war against the Irish Republican Army
31:18Oh, it's you.
31:22Yes.
31:32It's a terrible thing.
31:36But he would have had no fear of death.
31:40None.
31:41No.
31:42And he would have hated any mawkish outpourings of grief or sentimentality.
31:52He left 500 pages of instructions for the funeral.
32:00And chose you to do the reading.
32:17You.
32:22Architecturally, there is little that is normal about this family.
32:26Dickie's position within it twisted it even further out of shape.
32:33I barely knew my own father.
32:39Dickie understood that and stepped in as a surrogate.
32:43Which meant the world to me.
32:47And years later, maybe when he saw the struggles between the two of us, he switched horses and started caring
33:00for you.
33:01I was no longer the priority.
33:07He replaced me as father to you.
33:17And you.
33:24You replaced me as son to him.
33:30I don't mind admitting there were times where that transference of Dickie's affection, of his care, of his love.
33:42It might have given rise in me to a resentment.
33:47Of me?
33:51It's not your fault, of course.
33:54I know.
33:56When one was as deprived to a father as I was, one can't help feeling, you know, territorial of the
34:06next best thing.
34:09Which Dickie was.
34:16To us both.
34:20What are you talking about?
34:21You have a father.
34:27You have a father.
34:40I'd be happy to stand aside, Papa, really.
34:45Then you can do the reading.
34:47It's irrelevant.
34:49What I want or think.
34:55It's what matters to Dickie.
34:59And it shows you.
35:40This morning, the Irish Republican Army released a statement taking full responsibility for the execution of Lord Mountbatten.
35:47And for the deaths of the 18 British servicemen killed in our attacks at Warren Point.
35:5213 gone and not forgotten.
35:54We got 18 on Mountbatten.
35:58To Irish Republicans, Lord Mountbatten was the ultimate symbol of imperialist oppression.
36:04Each year, he came to sit in his castle on land stolen by the English, he knew the risks in
36:09coming here.
36:11And his death represents a legitimate blow against an enemy target.
36:17Over the coming weeks and months, you will all bear witness to the cloying tributes paid to the so-called
36:22hero.
36:23But where are the tears of the British government for those men, women, and children of Ireland who have lost
36:27their lives?
36:28Where is their grand funeral or solemn state occasion?
36:32Who will eulogize their deaths, or pay tribute to the lives of the many Irish citizens so cruelly cut short,
36:39like the 13 innocent civilians murdered by the British on Bloody Sunday?
36:4413 gone and not forgotten, we got 18 on Mountbatten.
36:47They that go down to the sea of ships.
36:50This is war, and there will be casualties.
36:54But while the British crown remains in Ireland, whatever blood is shed will be on their hands.
36:59So he maketh the storm to cease, so that the waves thereof are still.
37:12Then are they glad, because they are at rest.
37:23And so he bringeth them unto the haven, where they would be.
37:52Five minutes, you royal hangers.
38:09Horse Kilaire, on whom she finished third two years ago.
38:13She'll be jumping last.
38:20Timekeeper ready?
38:22Ready.
38:23After an average Tessar's chest had run up, the princess will need to...
38:29Here she comes.
38:29Ah, yes.
38:30Come on.
38:31In order to qualify.
38:33Ready?
38:34The royal highness, of course, coming back from some career difficulties last year.
38:40Just looking at that little sticky coming off to this first fence here.
38:44These fences, maximum height of three foot eleven.
38:47Go on.
38:48Go on.
38:48Down.
38:51Well, keep it together.
38:53That's it.
38:54Yes.
38:55Here's that one nicely, and then a tight turn.
38:57Well done.
38:57Coming into the next fence.
39:00Hurry up nicely.
39:01Come on.
39:02Good.
39:03Good.
39:04Good.
39:04Makes it well.
39:05Clear.
39:05Fifteen seconds gone.
39:11Clear.
39:12Wow.
39:13Almost awful.
39:14Lovely.
39:17Force.
39:19As she heads towards the final combination, this is a big double and she seems to be coming in short.
39:26No.
39:27No.
39:28Yes.
39:29Come on.
39:29How are we doing?
39:30She needs to pick it up.
39:32There we are.
39:34As she heads towards the final fence.
39:38Yes.
39:39Ah!
39:40Oh.
39:42Oh!
39:45Oh!
39:59You're doing here.
40:03I thought it was an extra pair of lungs to cheer Anne on. Couldn't hurt.
40:06Except I doubt she'd have heard.
40:08Your father was making such a noise.
40:10Was he?
40:10Beside himself.
40:12I'm so happy Anne can give him that.
40:14It's really the best possible tonic for him.
40:16We could all do with cheering up.
40:19Yes.
40:20All one can think of is Dickie.
40:43Your old highness.
40:45I just wanted to offer my condolences.
40:48It must have been completely devastating for you.
40:51And your reading at the abbey.
40:53How you held it all together under the cirques.
40:55I don't know how you did that.
40:57It was utterly brilliant.
41:01I'm sorry we haven't met.
41:02Yes.
41:02We have.
41:04I was in costume at the time.
41:06Sarah Spence's younger sister.
41:09The mad tree.
41:11Diana.
41:12Yes.
41:13Yes.
41:15Sarah told me how close you were to Lord Mountbatten.
41:19That he was like a father to you.
41:23Yes.
41:24You must all be unimaginably awful.
41:30It has been.
41:42I just wanted to say you're very much in my thoughts.
41:47All our thoughts.
41:49Sir.

42:25Sir.
42:39Hello?
42:41Sarah.
42:42Your royal highness.
42:44That's a nice surprise.
42:46First things first, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to your wedding.
42:50Congratulations to you and Neil.
42:54Thank you, sir.
42:55Now, your sister, Diana.
43:00Yes?
43:01Tell me about her.
43:02What would you like to know?
43:04Everything.
43:05I'm not sure you want to know everything.
43:09Maybe I do.
43:11All right.
43:12She works part-time at a kindergarten.
43:15She's a teacher.
43:16No, for that you'd need actual qualifications.
43:18More of a helper out.
43:20She's only just turned 18, you know.
43:24She also cleans for me.
43:25Part-time.
43:26As in?
43:27Like a cleaning lady.
43:31You want more?
43:33A little more.
43:35Is she fun?
43:36She can be great fun.
43:38I'm sure all the kids love her.
43:40I'm sure all the kids' dads love her too.
43:43Really?
43:44What about her character?
43:48Oh, well, everyone in the family calls her Dutch, because ever since childhood she's behaved as if she were destined
43:53for greater things.
43:57Oh, dear.
43:58Did I just put you off?
44:00No.
44:02You'd rather intrigue me now.
44:06Would you mind if I asked her out?
44:08Out, out?
44:09Yes.
44:11Gosh.
44:12Would you mind?
44:13No.
44:15Should I warn her?
44:18No.
44:19And let it be a surprise.
44:22I might need her telephone number first.
44:23Of course.
44:25Of course.
44:26It's...
44:2801373.
44:30Darling.
44:35Darling.
44:36Darling.
44:38I know who you are.
44:41It's the Prince of Wales.
44:43It's the Prince of Wales.
44:52Hello?
45:12Yes.
45:13Hi.
45:27Hi.
45:44You're all in us.
45:59You're all in us.
