0:05:10 > 0:05:14A rare sow with 20 in her litter?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Mr Lyon, tonight. The Claringdon.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- You're covering the engagement. - How could I forget, Georgie?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Who's getting married?- Just another debutante.- Night, George.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- How was I? - Bit slow on that last cue.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Nice watch. Does the broker know it's missing?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Banker.- Please. The details of your love life do not interest me at all.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37SHE LAUGHS
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Where did you dine?
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Sheekey's.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43We had oysters and afterwards he took me to the theatre.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Dinner, then the theatre. I do love a man who plans.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47That way, no-one sleeps on a full stomach.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Hell, martial law may have been imposed in Poland
0:07:07 > 0:07:11but we've got footage of Prince Rainier on honeymoon with his showgirl.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13And, hallelujah, they're dining with the Queen.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- We are the dose of reassurance that all's right in the world.- Agreed.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Because some edict sent down from God knows who
0:07:19 > 0:07:22is telling us what and how we broadcast. We will escape.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Yes, b-but, Freddie...

0:10:23 > 0:10:26But I need to talk to you before your interview.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Stay and have a drink with me.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29And miss all the fun?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31You stay here and wait for your banker,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33but I warn you...
0:10:33 > 0:10:35he'll be late. They're always late.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39If he's still not here by nine, come and find me.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Just try to keep a clear head.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44You're impossible!
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Evening, gentlemen. Shall we?
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Ladies and gentlemen.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04It's truly wonderful to be able to share our engagement
0:11:04 > 0:11:05with so many loved ones.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Lord and Lady Elms,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09it's an honour and a privilege to join this eminent family.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11And so without further ado,
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I ask you to raise your glasses to my beautiful fiancee...
0:11:15 > 0:11:16- ALL:- Ahh.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19..and we look forward to seeing you a week on Saturday.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22And do let's keep our fingers crossed and hope the sun shines.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24LAUGHTER
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Ruth and Adam.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- ALL:- Ruth and Adam.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58TAPPING
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Are you hiding?
0:12:10 > 0:12:11No...
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Yes.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I hate parties.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16And I'd just written,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19"The newly-engaged, honourable Miss Elms was glowing."
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Hello, Freddie.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Miss Elms.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Would you like to comment?
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Yes...
0:12:27 > 0:12:28..if you pour me another one of those.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34How old are you now? 20? 21?
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Old enough.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I was ten when you left.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Well...
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Congratulations. I wish you...
0:12:50 > 0:12:51..the absolute best.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55"A conspiracy is nothing but a secret agreement of a number of men
0:12:55 > 0:12:59"for the pursuance of policies which they dare not admit in public."
0:12:59 > 0:13:01You wrote that.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Actually, Mark Twain did, but... - Damn!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Tilt your head.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Pinch the bridge.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I'm sorry.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12It's only a handkerchief.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19You see it, don't you, Freddie?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21You always have.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24DOOR OPENS
0:13:24 > 0:13:25There you are, darling.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Good night, Miss Elms.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37God, you're drunk.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Not nearly enough.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Would you like to take the lady's coat, sir?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I'm sure she'll pick it up later.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51# My landlady's too rude
0:13:51 > 0:13:54# In my affairs she likes to intrude
0:13:54 > 0:13:56# My landlady's too rude
0:13:56 > 0:14:00# In my affairs she likes to intrude
0:14:00 > 0:14:02# Five o'clock in the morning
0:14:02 > 0:14:04# My landlady is peeping
0:14:04 > 0:14:06# No, it isn't fair
0:14:06 > 0:14:08# This prosecution I got to bear
0:14:08 > 0:14:09# And every Monday
0:14:09 > 0:14:11# "Mister give me the rent"
0:14:11 > 0:14:14# Although I try I cannot prevent she telling me
0:14:14 > 0:14:16# "Mister give me the rent..." #
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Hello?- It's just me, Dad.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Go inside, Mary's out for the evening.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I wouldn't trouble you, see, but I have to speak with you privately. It's very important.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Good day, Frederick?
0:14:45 > 0:14:46You should have the light on.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Mrs B not been in?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50The washing up's still in the...
0:14:57 > 0:14:59What you watching?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05The only thing wrong with her is her weight.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08You should see her now. Blimey - she's enormous!
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Did you see the news tonight? - The usual rubbish.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16How's that nice girl?
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Miss Rowley?
0:15:19 > 0:15:20She's...
0:15:20 > 0:15:21fine.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- TV:- 'Look, will you leave it to me for a day or so?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28'I just want to give it a bit of thought. Chew it over.'
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Good morning, Broadcasting House.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35One moment, please.
0:15:35 > 0:15:368:30.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I said 8:30.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Don't mix single malt with Martini.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Oh, wonderful(!)
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Frederick Lyon for the Director of Programmes.- Of course.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45I've brought the manifesto.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49That was written years ago, when we were very drunk.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51You were drunk.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52I was sober.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54You've put three Ts in topicality.
0:15:54 > 0:15:567th floor, please.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Thank you.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Freddie...
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Think I should start with the Marx quote?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Freddie, you really need to focus. - No, you're right.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Don't want to scare them off straight away.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Not when one is looking to run...
0:16:10 > 0:16:11It doesn't have a name yet.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15..this changing-face-of-television news programme with no name.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I'd pitch on balancing London news with the provinces.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22It's important they know you're interested in stories in Bradford, Manchester, Leeds...
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Why?
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Because you need to show them...
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Show them what?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30..that you're familiar with the demands of home affairs.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32That's your job.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34You need to keep your options open.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Moneypenny, your eyes look piggy when you lie.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I'm the producer.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46The new programme. Clarence wants me to be the producer.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47LIFT PINGS
0:16:48 > 0:16:50GIRLS GIGGLE
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Right.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56You produce, I'll present.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- LIFT PINGS - Bel, Freddie, there you are.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- Now, breathe, Freddie...- Clarence!
0:17:02 > 0:17:05He's waiting but he has a packed day. Later!
0:17:05 > 0:17:08We speak in full sentences, we listen,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- we don't try any funnies. - Yes, right.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Your reputation goes before you. The good, I have been able to confirm,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17the bad was youthful recklessness, which in your more mature years,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- you have left behind. - Clarence, I can...
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Freddie, this is my programme.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24It's very important that I get the right team
0:17:24 > 0:17:26and that you are part of it.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Ditch the manifesto.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Bel told me.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Top button.
0:18:07 > 0:18:1013 minutes, 36.8 seconds.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Remarkable.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14There.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16There...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18ballsed it. Top of the frame, bloody boom.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19How do we run that?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23I want two men at Lord's next week to film Jim Laker.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26One to hold the camera, the other to keep the bloody boom out of sight.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- You play?- Yes.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31No.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Do I need to?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I like football.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Which team?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Derby County. My mother was born...
0:18:38 > 0:18:39So, not really.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48You're something to do with natural history.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Heard a rumour they're setting up a unit somewhere in the BBC.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I'm a big fan of animals.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Clarence tells me you're a brilliant journalist.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Give me tomorrow's news.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Well, a lot can happen in 24 hours.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Eisenhower looks like he'll run for another term, but that's obvious.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I'm more interested in the underdog.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Rumour has it that the young Mr Kennedy is a contender
0:19:21 > 0:19:23for the Vice Presidential Democratic nomination.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25But in newsreels, we don't do scoops.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Let me guess, accounts?
0:19:29 > 0:19:34Researcher. You're flying out with a crew to the Amazon, Monday.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Something like that.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Do you take sugar?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43That's a pretty blouse.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50So, 60 minutes, six days to get it together.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Seventh day it's out there. Three slots. Tell me how it looks.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58At the top, New Commonwealth immigration.
0:19:58 > 0:20:0375,000 people arriving here every year from the colonies, but what does that really mean?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Martin Luther King gives a public address in San Francisco.
0:20:06 > 0:20:12The birth of the new Negro, one who is not crippled by fear and self-loathing,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15but driven by dignity and destiny.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18But we don't even challenge the fact that in every hotel window
0:20:18 > 0:20:21we still, without shame, say "No Coloureds. No Irish".
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Second story, MacMillan and the credit squeeze, obviously.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27And third?
0:20:27 > 0:20:3113 minutes, 38.6 seconds. It's a good story.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34You've got a boom tracking in every shot.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Seeing him cross that finishing line's the thing! It makes it more real,
0:20:37 > 0:20:41seeing the boom. It's the mechanics of how we bear witness, because that's what we do.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45What one tries to do. Reveal fleeting moments of history,
0:20:45 > 0:20:50not with apology, not as it is now, endless static newsreel.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53A man who never leaves his desk delivering the story
0:20:53 > 0:20:56as if it's the dry, five-minute warm-up act to Hancock's Half Hour!
0:20:56 > 0:20:59We all want to be entertained, but while we're all busy laughing,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Russia's aligning its missiles and declaring World War Three!
0:21:02 > 0:21:05It has to be the hour that you can't miss.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08The hour you have to see.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Putting real journalists in front of the camera
0:21:10 > 0:21:12is sending out the message that you take the news seriously.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16So you see yourself in front of the camera, Mr Lyon?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I never understand women and magazines.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32They only ever buy them for the pictures.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36You're so right. And those things called novels, impossible!
0:21:36 > 0:21:37So many words...
0:21:39 > 0:21:42This is where I ask you for a drink.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Sorry. I have to pack for South America.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Is this some kind of joke?
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Home affairs!
0:21:48 > 0:21:52House of Lords garden parties and outbreaks of foot and mouth in Keswick?
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- The audacity to even think you could present this programme! - He asked for my opinion.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59And you gave it. Including telling him to stuff it!
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I said talk to him, calm him down.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I said he's a risk... He's always a bloody risk.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06But you said no. You don't lead the story.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09The story leads you, Freddie. First rule of news, hmm?
0:22:09 > 0:22:14Well, maybe you are better off where you are. Two minutes.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19You're not in accounts, are you?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24No. Mr Lyon. I am a big fan of your work.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26How, exactly?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I mean which bit? Of my work?
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Freddie.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Mr Madden, my apologies. This is Miss Rowley.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Yes, I know exactly who Miss Rowley is.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42May I introduce you to the face of our new programme.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47If you'd like to come this way.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Christ, he's charming as well.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Freddie...
0:22:56 > 0:22:57LIFT PINGS
0:23:00 > 0:23:01How could you do that?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04How could you not warn me what I was being interviewed for?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- If you listened... - I thought it was so sweet you wanted to meet me beforehand.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10It's still home affairs. You're still part of the team,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12and it's the team Clarence believes in.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15What? You, me and Gregory Peck? What is he? Oxford-educated?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Well, at least you're with your own kind.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Oh, of course. You find him attractive.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22You're pathetic.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25It's you who said you were calcifying in newsreels.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Do you seriously want to die there? The last job I got you,
0:23:28 > 0:23:33you nearly closed us down - you accused the then Minister of Trade of accepting bribes.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36He had. He was.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Clarence has championed you since day one.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48He was giving you an opportunity
0:23:48 > 0:23:51and you have just thrown it back in his face.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55You could be even more brilliant than you know, but you just have to ruin it.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59A new programme, a new era.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02And they want me as producer.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07They're humouring you.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13They don't want a woman. A woman is difficult. Hysterical.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15And you can never really find one who will ever stay.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- A couple more years, you'll probably want a baby.- Oh, don't speak.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23It's what they're thinking. Anything else is just your vanity making you believe...
0:24:23 > 0:24:25What?
0:24:25 > 0:24:30That I can do it? That I can actually do this?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Watch me.
0:25:08 > 0:25:14Oh, Lyon, George wants to bump the Vice Presidential nominations for the Duke of Edinburgh...
0:25:14 > 0:25:19- Not guilty. Mr Wengrow is on Royal duty.- Well, he does look very smart on his horse.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Copy in by four, ladies and gentlemen.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Oh, a doctor's been seen arriving at Downing Street, apparently Eden's unwell again.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30- Well, you know where rumour gets us. - And Cairo?- I'm covering the bobsleigh at Bergen and then I'm...
0:25:30 > 0:25:34What to you is rumour, to the rest of the world is foresight, George.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- Have you done your copy for the Elms' engagement yet, Mr Lyon? - Not remotely.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45You know I have any number of men who would happily fill your post, Mr Lyon.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Is that a threat?
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Four o'clock. No Eden. No Cairo.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Don't sulk, spoils your face.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06They could have at least offered me foreign affairs.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Already taken.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10You?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Traitor. I want my desk back.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16As I recall, I won this desk.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27You've got absolutely no poker face.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Mr Lyon, there's a lady to see you. She said you're old friends.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Nice coat.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Mother hates it. I wear it to annoy her.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52One needs to find tiny acts of rebellion where one can.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Is this a joke?
0:26:58 > 0:27:04That's funny. Most people think I'm too serious.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08But I find it very serious indeed, the world.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- You have grown up. - Oh, don't patronise me.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Why didn't you ever reply to my letters?
0:27:22 > 0:27:23It didn't matter.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28I've kept up with what you're doing. Read your odd articles.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30That makes you quite unique.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I even found the short story you wrote in The Listener,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36which, I may add, was not very good.
0:27:36 > 0:27:42Though I suppose the novel is perhaps still the last domain of the free mind.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Where they can't tell you what to think, what to say.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49That and art, I suppose.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54They? Who are they? What are you talking about?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56They.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02They are everywhere.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Here in this building. Out in the street, in your office.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08They even control what you write.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Have you heard of Peter Darrall?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19He is...
0:28:20 > 0:28:24He WAS one of the leading political minds this country had.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26He was killed last night.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It will be reported in the evening papers as a robbery.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34It wasn't.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36There will be no investigation.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Even those who loved him the most will be told to forget him.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45They will weave a web of deceitful lies.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49You think it's ridiculous?
0:28:49 > 0:28:52I wish it were.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57I want you to find out why he was murdered.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- Go to the police, I'm not the right person.- Yes, you are!
0:29:00 > 0:29:02You think you live in a democracy?
0:29:04 > 0:29:07You think this country stands for freedom of speech?
0:29:07 > 0:29:09It does not.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18No, I'll make my own way out.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25They will kill me if they know I'm talking to you.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52A man, stabbed, North London... Came in this morning.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57Did anyone see it? Peter, his name was Peter something.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- Did he forgive you?- Who?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Mr Lyon? You really should have told him, you know.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14He's a big boy.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19You found one another. Douglas is on his way.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29- All right, Charlie? Here you are. - No.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34Suspected robbery. Came in last night.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38BABY CRIES
0:30:38 > 0:30:41You been frightening babies?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Plain clothes were in an hour ago.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Alexis Storm will be heading the foreign desk. She covered the...
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Spanish Civil war in Madrid, broke the news in '40
0:31:00 > 0:31:03that the British troops had arrived in France.
0:31:03 > 0:31:09She has an extensive network of stringers all through Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11I'm presuming that you've resolved the home desk.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- There are a number of faces in the frame.- Clarence. - We'll have the claret.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17I realise that Freddie wasn't at his best this morning.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- You don't need him. - He is passionate.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22He's dangerous.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26There's that very nice chap in that Sunday news review. He might be an idea.
0:31:26 > 0:31:32No. Freddie is infuriating and outspoken,
0:31:32 > 0:31:35but he sees the extraordinary in the ordinary.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38I truly believe we need him.
0:31:40 > 0:31:45I need him, to make the programme the best that it can be.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47And what is that?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50The world that Freddie sees.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53A train crash, a labour strike,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Freddie will be somewhere away from all the other journalists,
0:31:56 > 0:31:59talking to the last person that should matter,
0:31:59 > 0:32:02but that is the story that matters most to ordinary people.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03He finds them.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Douglas.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Clarence. I hope you ordered for me. Please.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12How many men?
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Five.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16MI5?
0:32:18 > 0:32:19Box 850, governor says.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23SIS?
0:32:25 > 0:32:27You know you're someone when MI6 come to pay their respects.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30Did they do this?
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Someone's looking for something.
0:32:44 > 0:32:49There's £15 in here. Wasn't much of a robbery.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Unless they stole his last cigarette.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Five minutes. We're done.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Yes. We're done.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28LAUGHTER
0:33:33 > 0:33:34McCain's in.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40One of Eden's press minions.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Christ, he's coming over.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Leave it to me.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52So, this is how Westminster feeds you, hmm?
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Clarence. What a gathering we have here, and Mr Madden.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Yes.
0:33:58 > 0:34:03Er... Oh, Miss Rowley. You did that lovely piece, "At Home With Lady Eden".
0:34:03 > 0:34:06My friends so enjoyed that.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Is Prime Minister Eden in good health?
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Yes, he is, thank you. - Only I heard he'd been unwell again.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16Such maternal instincts, I do think you're rather wasted in news.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19I was hoping to see you today,
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Michael was very keen to have a word.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Pandit Nehru is coming to town.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Barton's been on the phone banging on at me for weeks about having an interview.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31"No," I said, "sorry, BBC has first dibs."
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Yes. Are we celebrating?
0:34:35 > 0:34:37We're launching a topical news programme.
0:34:37 > 0:34:42Oh! Good, Marvellous. Yes, um, does it have a name yet?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Oh, working on it.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Mr Madden will present it, Clarence at the helm
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- and Miss Rowley as the producer. - That must have been a surprise.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53What a coup, Miss Rowley!
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Douglas, I must introduce your team to...
0:34:55 > 0:34:57It's the mackintosh.
0:35:03 > 0:35:04You left it on the table.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Thank you. - How about a brandy to celebrate?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Well, I'd love to, but...
0:35:10 > 0:35:13beyond that door women are not allowed.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19What is it about you men?
0:35:19 > 0:35:22You always need a tiny corner where we can't quite reach you.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Then we'll have to take you elsewhere.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Come on, I'm good at smuggling contraband.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41This is highly illegal.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44That's what makes it so much more enjoyable.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05How can you bear that man talking to you like that?
0:36:05 > 0:36:10We'd be foolish to make an enemy of anyone close to government, Mr Madden.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Hector.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Hero of Troy.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Father with pretensions of a scholar.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21And mother?
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Oh, she died, when I was ten.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41I've been out long enough.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Some of us have work to do.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44So it's true what they say?
0:36:44 > 0:36:49You work twice as hard as any man and none is half as good as you.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51I enjoy the company of men.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55Is it true you covered McCarthy's Lincoln Day speech?
0:36:57 > 0:37:00With a tape recorder that didn't work.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04Well, I don't believe you're prepared to give up this job for Mr Lyon.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06I think you'll do whatever it takes.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Take the afternoon off.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15You'll be out by the end of the week anyway.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24I hope you're not going to be this lax when I'm your producer.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Talk to Mr Lyon.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35I intend to. He doesn't listen to anyone but himself.
0:37:48 > 0:37:54- This shouldn't be open. They told me it was going to be kept locked.- They?
0:37:54 > 0:37:57I have an appointment with Mr Darrall.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Oh. Professor Darrall sadly passed away last night.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Oh, I'm so sorry.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05You knew him?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07No, but I hoped to.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- If you'd like to talk to the bursar...- Was he married?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Professor Darrall? Er, no, I don't believe so.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Tragic.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Apparently it was a robbery.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23You've spoken to the police?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Well, I'm sure it will be in the afternoon press.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46All right, sir?
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Um, do you recognise this man? He works near here.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Yeah, came in last night, just as I was closing up.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14He didn't have no change. I told him he could pay me tomorrow,
0:39:14 > 0:39:17but he insisted I take this as security.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20It seemed a bit much for a packet of smokes.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22The thing is that he didn't come back.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Orchids. You should talk to your banker.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40They really are an awful cliche.
0:39:42 > 0:39:43George.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49George.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52You know I'm leaving, don't you?
0:39:54 > 0:39:56What?
0:39:56 > 0:40:00If I'm about to lose two of my best journalists then I'm entitled to feel a little sore.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05You're a big girl, Bel, so I'll tell you this for nothing.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08I know, because there are no secrets in this place.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11You'll have your strings yanked like the rest of us.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- No, George.- You'll see.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15There you are, Georgie.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18An eminent professor is found with his throat cut
0:40:18 > 0:40:22and it's reported as a robbery. No inquest. No search for suspects.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Every seam in his suit has been cut. MI6 visited the mortuary.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Missed your slot. Programme's been filled.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33When does MI6 visit the body of a robbery victim?
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- They won't even answer my questions. - Why should they? They're MI6.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39What? And we should never challenge that?
0:40:39 > 0:40:41He still had his wallet and his watch.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Give me another 24 hours and I know I can follow it up, George.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49Though I share your desire to live in the pages of an Ian Fleming novel, Mr Lyon,
0:40:49 > 0:40:52I prefer to keep my life separate from a work of fiction.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55No! This is happening now, right now, outside this building,
0:40:55 > 0:40:59down on those streets, and we are doing a disservice to the public to deny it.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03You won't run this, but you'll run footage of Ruth Elms smiling at her engagement?
0:41:03 > 0:41:05No, the film blew. The bobsleigh - also gone.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09- Eddie thinks there's something wrong with the machine. - For God's sake.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Have you had a single original thought in your life?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Do you want to die knowing you were always a yes man?
0:41:16 > 0:41:20If you'll excuse me, I have a news programme to get out.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Do you know more people watch The Sooty Show than us, George?
0:41:28 > 0:41:29You're sacked.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Accepted.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33Freddie.
0:41:38 > 0:41:39Buzz off, Moneypenny.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46It is true, I am asking myself why I am doing this,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49especially as it is you who should be apologising to me.
0:41:49 > 0:41:54- But that's what you do when you believe in someone. - You let me go in there.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56I should have told you. I'm sorry.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- But home affairs is... - Not presenter. Not good enough.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02But most of all not here! Don't you want to get out?
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Who else is going to have you?
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- You know some nice girl needs to rescue you.- Who?
0:42:11 > 0:42:15There's only ever been you.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21And you're not even that nice.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34All right, you sit here, pulling apart some stupid cigarette case
0:42:34 > 0:42:37- when next week you could be... - Before, it was an offer I declined.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Now, it's a pity post, which I just can't.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- Won't.- No. And don't ask again, because, quite frankly,
0:42:42 > 0:42:46it's getting very tedious, your inability to stand on your own two feet.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51But then I suppose one should expect that from you.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54I mean, for all your strong talk, Moneypenny,
0:42:54 > 0:42:56you really are quite hopeless, aren't you?
0:42:56 > 0:42:58You want to be, oh, so independent
0:42:58 > 0:43:02but you just can't quite cut it alone.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Why else do you throw yourself at such unavailable men?
0:43:08 > 0:43:09Bravo.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22PHONE RINGS
0:43:24 > 0:43:25Yes?
0:43:26 > 0:43:28'Yes?'
0:43:28 > 0:43:32Nothing. They've reported nothing.
0:43:34 > 0:43:35I'm sorry, but...
0:43:35 > 0:43:37you were stupid to ask me to help you
0:43:37 > 0:43:40'and I was even more stupid to think that I could.'
0:43:43 > 0:43:45Are you still there?
0:43:47 > 0:43:48'Ruthie?'
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Never give up, Freddie. Never.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54'If it's something you truly care about, believe in,
0:43:54 > 0:43:56'then you have to keep kicking back.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58'Let the rest of them give up if they must,
0:43:58 > 0:44:01'but if that is being a grown-up...'
0:44:03 > 0:44:05..I'd rather stay 21 forever.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Ruthie?
0:44:10 > 0:44:13- OPERATOR:- 'Sir, could you please hang up?'
0:44:13 > 0:44:16Could you tell me where this call is being made from, please?
0:44:16 > 0:44:17'The Claringdon Hotel, sir.'
0:44:26 > 0:44:29Bel and I are leaving in five minutes.
0:44:29 > 0:44:30Stop being such a coward.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35When I was in France, there were these men.
0:44:35 > 0:44:41I'd... I'd loosely call them journalists, but they were never at the front.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43They never stuck their head above the parapet,
0:44:43 > 0:44:45they were terrified of being shot.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48Yet they wrote some of the best battle reportage I've ever read -
0:44:48 > 0:44:53filched most of it from us and what they didn't know, they'd make up.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56But you're not one of them. And you'll never truly know, Freddie,
0:44:56 > 0:45:00unless you stick your neck out and get yourself a bit muddy.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04Come on, jump. I dare you.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30- Coming for a drink?- Already drunk.
0:45:32 > 0:45:33But I don't smoke.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35Save it for later.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39I wondered if you could have a look at this, Mr Lyon?
0:45:39 > 0:45:41I'd really appreciate your opinion.
0:45:41 > 0:45:45"The tradition of Freedom of the City of London dates back to
0:45:45 > 0:45:48"the 13th century when it attracted privileges including
0:45:48 > 0:45:52"being allowed to go about the city with a drawn sword."
0:45:52 > 0:45:54- Did George ask you to write this?- Yes.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58It's very, um...
0:45:58 > 0:46:03It's very, um...nice and clear.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05It's... It's boring.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Yes.
0:46:07 > 0:46:08I thought so.
0:46:43 > 0:46:44You forgot your lamp.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47It's just a piece of tat I picked up somewhere.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50April. 1952. Your birthday. I bought it from John Lewis.
0:46:50 > 0:46:54- A yellow desk light. Just what every girl needs.- Isaac! In.
0:46:54 > 0:46:55What are you doing?
0:46:55 > 0:46:57I thought we'd come along for the ride.
0:46:57 > 0:47:02- Douglas has invited us for drinks at Lime Grove Studios.- Goody.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Children. There will be tears.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13TV CHATTERS
0:47:30 > 0:47:33Thank you.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38Shall we leave our things over here?
0:47:38 > 0:47:40I think that will be all right. >
0:47:50 > 0:47:53What? Falling at the first hurdle?
0:47:54 > 0:47:57You can do this job standing on your head, Moneypenny,
0:47:57 > 0:47:59and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03Not me, not George, not your stupid bloody banker.
0:48:03 > 0:48:07You're the best man for the job, and you know it.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10Is that your idea of an apology?
0:48:10 > 0:48:13After I gave you that lamp, we ate at that terrible Chinese.
0:48:13 > 0:48:17It's an angle-poise because you press your face too close to the page when you read
0:48:17 > 0:48:19and there's never enough light.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22You won't wear glasses because you say your nose is too small
0:48:22 > 0:48:25and with glasses you'd look like a mole...
0:48:25 > 0:48:27Which you don't... Wouldn't...
0:48:27 > 0:48:30They'd suit you. You'd look just as...
0:48:30 > 0:48:32fairly beautiful as you are.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35It's yellow because you said no-one wants a yellow lamp.
0:48:35 > 0:48:39So I thought if I got if for you in yellow then no-one would steal it from your desk.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44I do give these things quite a lot of consideration, you see...
0:48:44 > 0:48:47The devil is in the detail.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51And what you said about my story...
0:48:51 > 0:48:55you're right. George will never run it.
0:48:55 > 0:48:59An academic, seemingly eminent, has his throat slit in a suburban street.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Who wants to hear that? It shouldn't stop me.
0:49:01 > 0:49:05- That's why I am pulling apart a cigarette case. - I want to hear you say it.
0:49:09 > 0:49:13I get first choice of desk. And I want an office with a window.
0:49:13 > 0:49:14And an assistant.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17I'll absolutely need an assistant.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21And I won't do the farming slots.
0:49:25 > 0:49:26And?
0:49:30 > 0:49:34May I accept the offer that I so...
0:49:34 > 0:49:37Rudely.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37So rudely declined?
0:49:56 > 0:49:58The Hour!
0:49:59 > 0:50:01It'll never run.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07- Mr Lyon.- Mr Madden.
0:50:07 > 0:50:11- Looking forward to working with you. - At least that makes one of us.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22Welcome on board, comrade.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36GENERAL CHATTER MUSIC PLAYS
0:50:40 > 0:50:45- Help us out, have a look, see what you can do! - There's nothing to worry about.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Clarence. I...
0:50:52 > 0:50:54Don't say it.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56New slate, new day.
0:51:18 > 0:51:21- You're always watching. - I find it helps.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26Otherwise one tends to walk into walls, doors, that sort of thing.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Yes, she said you were witty.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31She's easy to make laugh.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33So tell me about yourself, Mr Lyon.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45No.
0:51:46 > 0:51:47Isaac!
0:51:49 > 0:51:51Isaac, the cigarette...
0:51:51 > 0:51:53The cigarette that I...
0:52:12 > 0:52:14Bingo!

0:52:28 > 0:52:29How did you know I like them?
0:52:29 > 0:52:31All beautiful women like orchids.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34Do they really fall for that line?
0:52:34 > 0:52:36Is it bad?
0:52:36 > 0:52:39Very bad.
0:52:39 > 0:52:42< Darling, there you are.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44Well, somebody obviously did.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46That's your...?
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Wife.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51Of course.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54- And your?- Father-in-law.
0:52:54 > 0:52:59Douglas and he have been friends for years.
0:52:59 > 0:53:03And I thought it was because you had such a pretty face.
0:53:05 > 0:53:08Hello, you look so handsome!
0:53:08 > 0:53:11Here he is - the face of tomorrow.
0:53:11 > 0:53:13Congratulations, Hector.
