0:00:12 > 0:00:13Oh, God!
0:00:13 > 0:00:17If it all gets too much, I say we take the next train to Morocco.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Apparently, it's the most marvellous place to get lost.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Any sign of Hector?
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Hm. No. Eyes on the prize, sweetheart.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Sissy, try Mr Madden at his club again.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Yes, Miss Rowley.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Keep calling.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Ten minutes, ladies and gentlemen.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02We have a show starting and a new Head of News to impress.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Mr Wengrow. Change your shirt, wear a tie. You might be needed.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- Right. Right. Really?- Slim pickings.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Er, Mr Brown...?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24HE HUMS A TUNE
0:01:27 > 0:01:31A-hem! It's time to...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Defer no time.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Delays have dangerous ends.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Has Mr Madden been found? - Any moment.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44He's cutting it fine.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48HE LAUGHS
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Mr Brown, as you may be aware,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57the last nine months have been an exercise
0:01:57 > 0:02:00in maintaining the direction and morale of The Hour.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Pleasure! - LAUGHTER
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Excuse me, Mr Madden, would you mind?- Of course.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08It's Dorothy.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Uncovered are snapping at your heels.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16And, despite ITV's attempt to colonise many aspects of the show,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20The Hour is still exemplary in its field.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Imitation is the highest form of flattery.- Exactly.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Except it's better.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I'm sorry?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Uncovered's better.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Hold on! Going down?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- It's better?- Yeah.- Well, how exactly?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Tighter. Newer. Fresher.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44And also, I presume, with a presenter who's on time.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Very good, Mr Wengrow. Loosen your tie and smile.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I will castrate Hector if he's late again.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Final checks, please, ladies and gentlemen.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Final checks, please.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Hello.- Good evening.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- You have a replacement? - Yes.- On the floor.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Just in case, Mr Wengrow.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09A man has no more character than he can command in a time of crisis.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11OK, camera one.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Miss Rowley, I do not wish to state the obvious...- Then don't.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- ..but you have no show if you have no presenter.- Mr Wengrow, stand by.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- Keep the change.- We have a show, we have a running order,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23we have cameras, we have...
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Evening, Suzy.- Evening, Mr Madden. - Right, cue grams.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Camera two, stand by, please. - Thank you, Nora.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Breathe, Mr Wengrow.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Thank you, Betty.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Counting down, Miss Cooper.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Fade grams.- Ah, he's here!
0:03:48 > 0:03:51And...we are saved.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Five...four...
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Hit it, ladies and gentlemen.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Let's give the new boy something to shout about.- ..one.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02What a pity, Mr Wengrow. And you look so smart in your suit.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Good evening and welcome to The Hour.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Sputnik 2.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Is Britain facing a growing nuclear threat
0:04:41 > 0:04:43with every Soviet advancement?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47What does this latest development in the Russian Satellite Programme
0:04:47 > 0:04:51mean for Britain, and indeed for the arms race as a whole?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Also on tonight's programme -
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Spend, spend, spend, says the Chancellor. We've never had it so good.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00But what is the long-term forecast. for boom time?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Last but not least, a little bit of Hollywood touches down
0:05:03 > 0:05:06amidst the glitz and glamour of Soho.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10The toast of London Town, Mario Lanza, has just arrived.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14But now back to Sputnik 2 and a very special passenger.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18A three-year-old bitch, newly nicknamed Laika,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21who has been found on the streets of Moscow
0:05:21 > 0:05:23is now orbiting the earth at...
0:05:23 > 0:05:26# With Hiltone she's got a full engagement book. #
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Hiltone hair lightener brings exciting hair radiance
0:05:29 > 0:05:31with the shade lighter look.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33See the glamour Hiltone gives.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Do join us next week for more breaking news from home and abroad.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Thank you and good night.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43And we're clear. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47He dropped that second paragraph.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49The main points were, I think, still well made.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53I said if he cuts my work again then I will not play nice any more.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02What did you think?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Hm.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Right.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08It was a good cut.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I told you last week and I'll say it again, it is not yours to tamper with!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Thank you, darling, I knew you'd agree.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18One always feels a tiny victory when that woman's riled.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Oh, you're deplorable. Late, late, late.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Where the hell have you been?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Ah, Mr Brown!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Sorry I was not here to greet you earlier.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Delighted to have you on the team. I hope we pass muster.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31The light, too bright on your face.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Bounces around, amplifies the cheeks.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36But apart from that...
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
0:06:39 > 0:06:429am tomorrow morning, editorial conference.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Debrief.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Wunderbar!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Mr Madden's timekeeping may not be entirely orthodox...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55We are in agreement.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58..but that doesn't take away from the brilliance of his delivery.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Maintaining the quality of a 60-minute programme
0:07:01 > 0:07:04when I am pursuing most of the stories myself and writing the copy,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I cannot also be the Head of News.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11With Mr Fendley in prison and one of my top journalists gone...
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Ah, yes, Mr Lyon.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Um...was dismissed.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Whilst you fought to stay.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Why would you say Uncovered is better?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25It's just newer. People like what's new.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Why would you say that?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Competition is good.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Yes, it is. Competition is good.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34When I was a girl, I was very competitive, um...
0:07:34 > 0:07:38badges, medals. High jump was my thing.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42But without resources, we may compete, but we can't win.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Lix is brilliant.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51And Mr Wengrow, um...
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Mr Wengrow is...is coming along fine.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57But it's my right-hand man...
0:07:58 > 0:08:04But it's...it's my right-hand man that I...that I miss.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- There is a certain something...- Yes. - ..lacking.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Yes.- An edge.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11A bite.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- The prick of the hair on the back of the neck. - I thought you might say that.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23The tingle from the top of the head to the balls of the feet.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- When one watches The Hour, it's almost...- Too smooth. T-Too slick.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31The last time I watched this programme, and admittedly that was some time ago,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34THEN one could feel the tingle.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Hear the tick.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Let me hear your tick, Miss Rowley.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41My tick?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Editorial conference, 9am. I look forward to it.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00He...he fiddles with things.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05What...what is he? What have they sent us?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13I'm going to go home, drink a bottle of vodka and sleep and not wake up.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yes. Brilliant.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17The thing is, darling,
0:09:17 > 0:09:21the powers that be must have some method to their madness.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Otherwise, the whole Paris bureau
0:09:23 > 0:09:27who declared him the best chief they ever had got it completely wrong.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Acapulco.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Ha-ha! Ridiculous boy!
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Oh, nice shoes. Are they date shoes? - Engagement party.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Pity invite.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54But you, on the other hand...
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Not biting.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01When Hector enquired how well I knew Mr Brown, I said not at all.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Please don't make me lie to you as well.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10BIG BAND MUSIC
0:10:14 > 0:10:17# Who's got a match worth striking?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21# Don't say it all depends
0:10:21 > 0:10:24# Who wants to help me burn my candle at both ends?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Mr Madden!
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Thank you, sir, have a good evening.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31# Who's got a light he's hiding
0:10:31 > 0:10:33# Under a bushel, friends?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Dining alone tonight, Mr Madden?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Er...no, not tonight.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40# At both ends
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Enjoy your evening.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47# It's possible it may not last a night
0:10:47 > 0:10:53# While it burns what a wonderful light... #
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Good evening.- Evening, Mr Madden. - Hello.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Mr Madden, good evening! - Good evening.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Wonderful show this evening.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05We never miss it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08The doggy, so sweet!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Thank you.- Prego.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Yes, very droll. Sending a bitch into space.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Yes, they're calmer, apparently.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18How's your Head of News settling in?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20What's it to you?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Don't forget who saved The Hour, Hector.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28If it was up to the rest of them at Westminster,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30you'd all be out on your ear after they pulled the plug.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38One can't have a traitor at the BBC.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40No. Mr Lyon took the rap, you remained at the helm,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Miss Rowley kept her job and...
0:11:46 > 0:11:48..MI6 got their man.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55It was still a lie.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59A lie has no legs.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01But a scandal...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03now, that has wings.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Mr Madden, would you mind, just one for the album?- Of course.- Thank you.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Salute!- ALL: Salute!
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Grazie. Excuse me.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Yes. Bloody wop!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22We're all immigrants, Angus.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Whisky, no ice.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- So, what is your name?- Miss Delaine.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Kiki Delaine. I'm an actress.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Oh, a performer. I'm one of those.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33THEY LAUGH
0:12:56 > 0:12:58THUD!
0:13:03 > 0:13:06From this day, Britain will rank beside America and Russia
0:13:06 > 0:13:08as a major nuclear power.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Britain is no longer dependent on anyone for this ultimate deterrent.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Everyone who will be on deck puts on...
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Ladies and gentlemen...
0:13:20 > 0:13:23if we cannot debate that which troubles our society,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and more importantly troubles our government,
0:13:26 > 0:13:30then we cannot, in all honesty, call ourselves a democracy.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34If we cannot question our leaders
0:13:34 > 0:13:38as they embark on what some call an illegal military action...
0:13:38 > 0:13:40MUTED
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Commander Stern.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10These are all you found?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Back room's stuffed with 'em.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Shut it down and board it up. Straight away.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Yes, sir.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Let's go! Come on!
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- You take the back, I'll check the cellar.- Yes, sir.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52THEY CHUCKLE
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Come on.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Commander Stern.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Captain Madden. I hoped I might see you here.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Hello.- Miss Delaine, may I introduce Commander Stern,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09soon to be Deputy Commissioner.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Stern is fine. - I hear it's only a matter of time.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Now, be gentle with him, he's appallingly shy.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17So, how are our London streets?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Filled with the usual stench of decay and decline, but we do our best.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Indeed.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Would you be free tomorrow? Say, after nine?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30I've got something for that story you've been working on.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Commander Stern. Your boys have been busy tonight.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Yes, we try.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Aren't you staying, Commander? - It's a bit noisy for me...
0:15:40 > 0:15:42HECTOR CHUCKLES Why don't you come with me?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45You're a fine chap, but by God your job made you boring.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49You go home, sleep tight. I'm going to enjoy my evening.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Do you know, this man saved my life. - Did he really?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Did you see service?- I-I did, I did.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Broadcast service, wasn't it, Angus? In leafiest Surrey.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01HECTOR LAUGHS
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Hope to see you again, Commander. - As I'm sure you will.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Good night, everyone.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Mr Madden, the champagne is from
0:16:08 > 0:16:10the two gentlemen at the table in the corner.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15Oh, it's the chaps from ITV.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I've been very impressed with their coverage lately, don't you agree?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20They've got their eye on you.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Best call it a night.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Hm. I was just starting to enjoy myself.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Ah! A couple of chaps are going to have a drink at their suite.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34First rule with temptation,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37yield to it slowly.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39So much more satisfying in the end.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Won't you join us, Miss Delaine?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I'll just get my fur.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Hector?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46What the hell! Why not?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54TV: Smother with scrambled egg mixed with curry powder,
0:16:54 > 0:16:58top with sweet pickle and cover.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00It's delicious!
0:17:00 > 0:17:03# When it's time to have a bite Have a sandwich
0:17:03 > 0:17:06# Morning, noon and night Have a sandwich. #
0:17:06 > 0:17:08ANIMATED CHATTER
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Making a break for it already?
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Um...she's the friend of a very distant cousin. I won't be missed.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Hm.- But it was a perfectly marvellous party
0:17:25 > 0:17:29and you didn't hear me say otherwise. Have a nice evening.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32You missed a trick with the Macmillan story.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- Sorry?- Tonight.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38They're overstretched in Health and Defence.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Rumour has it Macmillan has seen the civil estimates
0:17:41 > 0:17:43and is urging ministers to slash where they can.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45A fan of The Hour.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Actually, I prefer Uncovered.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50That's just news with advertisements. It doesn't count.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Really? - You try running stories with a kick
0:17:52 > 0:17:55whilst levelling out those that cause too much of a ruckus.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58That must be exhausting, having to circumnavigate the truth.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01I-I knew someone, and he believed that the truth...
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Is something you don't have to lie about.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Exactly, yes.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Do you want to get a drink?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Yes. What would you like? - No. Not here.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Sorry. I've got somebody waiting for me at home.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Naturally.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Thanks for the tip.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29MUSIC: Move It by Cliff Richard and The Shadows
0:18:40 > 0:18:45# Come on, pretty baby Let's a-move it and a-groove it
0:18:46 > 0:18:50# Shake, oh, baby, shake, oh, honey Please don't lose it
0:18:52 > 0:18:55# The rhythm, it gets into your heart and soul
0:18:58 > 0:19:01# Let me tell you, baby It's called rock and roll... #
0:19:24 > 0:19:28TV: When I say I'm not talking to the press now
0:19:28 > 0:19:31or to Leslie Grade, who represents me in Europe,
0:19:31 > 0:19:35or Mr Val Parnell or just anyone at all,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38it took a long time, but I just want to talk to you,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41the English people, it took so much time,
0:19:41 > 0:19:43may I say hello. That's all.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45APPLAUSE
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Now an aria from the opera Tosca.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58APPLAUSE
0:20:02 > 0:20:05MUSIC: "E Lucevan Le Stelle"
0:20:21 > 0:20:26# E lucevan le stelle
0:20:32 > 0:20:36# E olezzava la terra
0:20:36 > 0:20:43# Stridea l'uscio dell'orto
0:20:45 > 0:20:50# E un passo sfiorava la rena
0:20:53 > 0:20:58# Entrava ella, fragrante. #
0:21:15 > 0:21:17How did you get in?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34A-hem! So, ladies and gentlemen,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37as it is nine o'clock, and in the absence of your producer, I shall begin.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Though I appreciate you are only a year into this programme,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I assume nine o'clock is the start of our working day.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47In fact, the start of a whole new week.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51So, first, all good art dies after a revolution.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55It's only when one is fighting to overthrow any kind of oppression
0:21:55 > 0:22:01that real work, good work thrives. So in that spirit, Miss Storm...
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Windscale Enquiry. The report is out today.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Doesn't entirely instil confidence
0:22:07 > 0:22:10when there's a fire in the reactor and it isn't put out for days,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12but the wider issue is the implications for Britain
0:22:12 > 0:22:16in its position in the nuclear arms race.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19The Soviets have stolen a march on everyone with Sputnik 2
0:22:19 > 0:22:22and Eisenhower is cowering in the corner.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You haven't fallen for that? Nonsense.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27In every American, there's an incorrigible air of innocence
0:22:27 > 0:22:29which in fact conceals a diabolical cunning.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31The Americans knew this was coming.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33What's a race if you can't be beat? But maybe item two.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Mr Wengrow, home desk, what have you got?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52They suggest if you have no time before you see the flash of the bomb,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55move to the nearest doorway, avoiding flying glass.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58It's blatant scare-mongering designed to cause nightmares,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00while we are left unquestioning
0:23:00 > 0:23:03and with no opinion other than the one they need,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06which is, "Hell, yes, let's arm ourselves to the hilt."
0:23:06 > 0:23:08How can we support the Chancellor
0:23:08 > 0:23:11when he is increasingly spending public funds on nuclear weapons...
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Whilst stirring fear in the British public
0:23:14 > 0:23:17when the funding of public services is compromised.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Exemplary, Moneypenny, as ever.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Mr Lyon! (I can't believe you're here!)- Hello, Sissy.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Interesting angle.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26However, in keeping pace with our rivals,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29we cannot ignore today's press conference,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31so I suggest keeping focus on the issues in hand.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Public paranoia and general fascination
0:23:34 > 0:23:36with the nuclear arms race.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Yes, it is, Mr Lyon.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41And I hope you'll all welcome him back to The Hour.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45I've thought long and hard as to how he might fit back into the team.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Last night confirmed Mr Madden needs backup.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54And Mr Lyon is the obvious swing man to Mr Madden's trapeze.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Mr Lyon will be co-hosting the programme.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Miss Rowley, a word, if you please.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02LOW CHATTER
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Are you completely insane?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Mr Lyon was one of the conditions of my joining this team.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26You knew. You...you knew last night.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30A new co-host, without even consulting me?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33And you announce it in front of my whole team!
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Do you...do you see how that undermines me?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Everything that I have done here in the last nine months.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43And you have made me look ridiculous!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Hold your fire, Miss Rowley. - What fire?!
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I assumed that this would be welcome news.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Well...it is. I-I mean...no!
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Have you even interviewed him for the post?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03In Paris, he was surprisingly persuasive.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Certain that his skills had been missed.- Paris!
0:25:06 > 0:25:08A couple of months' secondment to the bureau.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10We caught him on his travels.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I believe a long stint in America, then Paris.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15But he was clearly eager to come back.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Hector... - Will be fired if he opposes.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22A sign of celebrity
0:25:22 > 0:25:26is that his name is often worth more than his services.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I presume it is not his wife who's keeping him this late.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Ah!
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Sorry! Sorry!
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Let's go up to my office.- No.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38I've only got five minutes.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Made the front page again.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Not now, not now, not now.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55These are the minutes of a meeting that took place when the crime figures first came in.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57In that meeting, I raised my concerns
0:26:57 > 0:27:00that policing is being woefully under-resourced.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03My fear is the filth and depravity I see on the streets every day
0:27:03 > 0:27:06is not simply being ignored, it's being denied.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09These figures are only half of what we see.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13You might find the Home Office Minister's comments...interesting.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18You deserve another medal for this.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20It's the war at home I'm worried about.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Hm!
0:27:25 > 0:27:28You know, I worry about you sometimes, Hector.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Everybody wants a piece of you nowadays.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34You should be more discerning.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Trust in those who care.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Los Angeles. Wow!
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Then before that, Mexico.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- Oh, calm down, dear boy. - Then across to New York
0:27:52 > 0:27:55and I wrote for The Village Voice for a few months.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Amazing! Inspirational, Mr Lyon!
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- Aren't you, sweetheart! - Ladies and gentlemen, the working day has started.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I want that all again, but this time with whisky.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Welcome back, beautiful boy.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- I'll just move my stuff. - Oh, no rush.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22You've rearranged.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Plants? How very unlike you.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Yes, plants.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31You had that cactus, you hated it. You hate plants.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Not now.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35I even enjoy the cinema alone.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37A lot less fidgeting
0:28:37 > 0:28:41and you don't get the annoying commentary on the bus home.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42What did you write?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Interesting stuff on Eisenhower in the aftermath of McCarthy.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- Really?- Hm.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49A bit 1953.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51It's usual to say welcome back,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- or some other superlative. - You left.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- And yet you stayed.- And you could have told me you were coming back.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00- It wouldn't fit on a postcard. - Paris?
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- Paris is practically here. - Big pond of sea between here and....
0:29:03 > 0:29:07- Did you grow bored with trying to find yourself?- Yes, actually.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- I still miss your father. - Thank you.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19I wrote you a letter.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21From San Diego.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23And then another one from New York.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26You didn't write back.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Was it a good read?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36It's rubbish.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Doesn't even tell you what happens in the end.
0:29:39 > 0:29:40And the other stuff.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43Um...this might be something.
0:29:45 > 0:29:4930 per cent rise in crime and vice in the last year.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Holy cow! It's Sigmund Freud.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Or Moses.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Seemed like a good idea on the other side of the Atlantic.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Where the hell have you been?
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- This is unacceptable.- It is.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Please don't be angry.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- Sissy, Coffee. - Did you have a marvellous time?
0:30:08 > 0:30:10I did. As did you, by the smell of it.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14You missed the flowers and moving welcoming speech.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16How the devil did you worm your way back in?
0:30:16 > 0:30:17Mr Brown's appointment.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Jolly good. We've lacked a bit of zip around here!
0:30:20 > 0:30:24As new co-host.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26You didn't know?
0:30:28 > 0:30:32No. No!
0:30:32 > 0:30:33No!
0:30:33 > 0:30:35You've been late every day for the last six months.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Smelling cheap. Mr Brown is insistent.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41You're splitting apart at the seams, Hector.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43If I see one more picture of you
0:30:43 > 0:30:45splashed across the front page of a tabloid,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48unless it's for picking up the Nobel Prize
0:30:48 > 0:30:51or journalist of the year, then you are out.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53And that is not my decision.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56We have a new Head of News. It's out of my hands
0:30:56 > 0:30:58but it is the one thing that Mr Brown and I agree on.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01How can we be the serious face of news when you are pressed up
0:31:01 > 0:31:05against so much mink and cigar smoke it looks like you're in a harem?
0:31:06 > 0:31:07You're jealous.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10No.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14The word is "popular".
0:31:14 > 0:31:18For what? Because it's certainly not for presenting news.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21That's not what everyone thinks.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Good God! ITV? Which programme?
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Uncovered? Oh, I bet it's Uncovered.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- Perks are good. Car with chauffeur. - Oh, please.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33You'll be hosting Sunday Night at the London Palladium next.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- You know you'd miss me if I left. - SHE LAUGHS
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Or maybe you're not interested in what I have to offer?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Thought it might spur on your Soho crime story.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44My God. Finally coughed up.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49Shush. I can't divulge my sources. Page two. Second paragraph.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51See who the minister is?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53SHE CHUCKLES
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Dynamite.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Speaking at the civil defence press conference. I'm coming.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- Me too.- My bloody story.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Then how do you plan to use it?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Ask for a one-to-one, post press conference.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Ah, good. Working as a team.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Mr Brown, I want a word.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Busy now. My office, 4.00.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27I've got one of them. Downstairs flat.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- It's empty if you want it. - Really? It's for Sey.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31The doctor?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34He's been thrown out three times now. Rent's doubled twice.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36He's threatening to return to Nigeria.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39£1.03 a week. It's a bit scruffy.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Really?
0:32:40 > 0:32:44- Wouldn't he be happier back home? - Oh, don't be silly, he is home.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45Still?
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Desperation never succeeds, Isaac.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Really? So what's your method?
0:32:53 > 0:32:55What can I say?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57I've obviously been missed.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59LIFT DOOR DINGS
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Whilst there is continued threat, there is also positive action.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Every home in Britain may sleep a little safer tonight,
0:33:23 > 0:33:28confident in the knowledge that if, in the event of a nuclear attack,
0:33:28 > 0:33:33we find ourselves facing the worst, the British public will be protected.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Thank you.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Thank you. Lovely. The Minister will be taking questions now so,
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- shall we start with...? - Now. Stand up. Do it now.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41Now?
0:33:41 > 0:33:43No, Not yet. Not now.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48Over there. Mr Kendall. Uncovered. ITV.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Muffed it.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Thank you, Mr McCain.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Minister, one million of these defence manuals,
0:33:55 > 0:33:57I understand, have been printed,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59but this is not even a fifth of what will be needed
0:33:59 > 0:34:01if every home were to have one.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Do you intend to increase circulation?
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Our commitment is to ensure the safety of the public
0:34:07 > 0:34:10in the light of this very real nuclear threat.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- Now.- Thank you, Minister. - Yes, all right, now.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14My contact, my question.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Oh, bloody hell, Hector.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Frederick Lyon, The Hour.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Minister, may I ask at what cost to the general public?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Well, I don't have the figures exactly.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Does the 30% increase in crime not prove
0:34:26 > 0:34:28that the greater threat is at home?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31We are not here to discuss crime today, Mr Lyon.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34If you haven't noticed, this is in fact focusing on civil defence
0:34:34 > 0:34:36and the nuclear threat.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40176 murders in the past year, that's 37 more than the year before.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42A surge in violent crime in areas of London,
0:34:42 > 0:34:46particularly in Soho and the West End,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49and concerns raised by leading members of Scotland Yard
0:34:49 > 0:34:52that the London force is woefully understaffed.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Is your government taking crime seriously?
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Absolutely. Public safety is of primary concern.
0:34:58 > 0:35:03We are working hard with Scotland Yard to attempt to tackle
0:35:03 > 0:35:06this rise in criminality.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Really?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10I have in my hand the minutes from a recent meeting to discuss
0:35:10 > 0:35:14the budgetary pressures on the Metropolitan Police.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17When asked why you were cutting Scotland Yard's budget
0:35:17 > 0:35:19and increasing Defence's, you replied,
0:35:19 > 0:35:25"There will always be crime but when faced with total annihilation
0:35:25 > 0:35:28"there is no need to waste our resources
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- "on the odd body here and there. - CROWD MURMUR
0:35:30 > 0:35:33"We need to put our money slap bang in the face of the Soviets
0:35:33 > 0:35:35"and the nuclear threat."
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Murder victim, only of mild concern?
0:35:39 > 0:35:42I'm sure that's very comforting to your voters.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Any comment that I have made...
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Thank you, perhaps another question..
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Is it not the truth that you are scaremongering the public into
0:35:49 > 0:35:51supporting the increase in defence expenditure
0:35:51 > 0:35:53- at a cost to their own safety? - Any comment...
0:35:53 > 0:35:54Good, thank you very much.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Thank you, Minister.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Welcome back!
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Miss Rowley.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28Deceitful. Conniving. Ubiquitous.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31And yet still worthy of asking for a drink.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Had I known that you worked for Uncovered...
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Congratulations, The Hour has just broken quite a story.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39I'm sure Uncovered are already writing it up.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Every broadsheet and broadcaster will do just that,
0:36:42 > 0:36:43but no-one can deny its source.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Perhaps I didn't make our position clear.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50If you try to steal Mr Madden from The Hour
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- I will personally hunt you down... - I look forward to it.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54Mr Lyon.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57A man with nerve, challenging the Minister.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59They've executed men for less.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Mr Madden. You have some competition.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Um, Mr Lyon is The Hour's new co-host.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05Interesting.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Isn't it?- I'd kill to know where you acquired that quote.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11I was given it in the strictest confidence.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15I'm not in the habit of divulging my sources.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Miss Rowley, Mr Lyon.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22Nice chap.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23It's deceptive.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Ah, interested to know where you got those minutes.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31Well, no-one's to be trusted in Westminster, Angus. You know that.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Bit late for breakfast.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46When you're away you crave the home comforts,
0:37:46 > 0:37:49then when you return you forget why you missed them at all
0:37:49 > 0:37:52and long for the things you have left behind.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53I grieve for the croissant.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54I will not apologise.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58I offer no regrets and I will not talk about the past. Is that clear?
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Whatever game you are playing I am not interested,
0:38:02 > 0:38:04I simply do not know why you are here.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Oh, for God's sake, Randall.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10In what insane way could you possibly think it was a good idea
0:38:10 > 0:38:13for you to come here, for you to work here?
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Dust on the lens.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Didn't I always tell you what happens
0:38:17 > 0:38:19if you leave the cap off the lens?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Get this down to the soup kitchen
0:38:30 > 0:38:32and ask them to develop it sooner than quick.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Yes, Mr Lyon.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36What?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Isaac has virtually been running the home desk in your absence.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40And I'm back.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Tread carefully.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43HE CHUCKLES
0:38:43 > 0:38:46What, Isaac? He can't be trusted to run an entire desk.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Oh, so what are you suggesting, that you write and present now?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Yes.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55You see, this? This, I haven't missed.
0:38:55 > 0:39:01Egotism, the childish belief that you can do...control everything.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04You can't.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05This is what keeps you on your toes.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09This is what stops you from merging into
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- some amoebic primitive life form. - SHE TUTS
0:39:11 > 0:39:15We have just broken a brilliant story. Admit it.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17I thought I might lead with the death of Dior.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- Absurd. You're not serious? Dior? - Please.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23You speak of the founder of one of the world's finest fashion houses.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25You are wasted. You are really wasted here.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Call Tatler immediately or, even better, Vogue.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31You're pleased. Just say it.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Just let me hear it from your lips.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Bravo. Yes. It was one of my better ideas.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Ha-ha! It's all in the execution.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Of course, we will lead with my police story.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Don't worry, you'll get your moment in the sun.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49And, by the way, who's been dressing you?
0:39:49 > 0:39:51The beard has to go but the suit...
0:39:53 > 0:39:55The suit is nice.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59You've rearranged yourself.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02A little. A lot.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05It was a good trip?
0:40:05 > 0:40:07It was. You come back...
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Maybe it was the light,
0:40:11 > 0:40:15everything just seemed clearer, brighter,
0:40:15 > 0:40:18I realised what I wanted.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Um, I left something for you on your desk. My little Soho obsession.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Sorry.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42No. No, you stay here. It's your desk now.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44You seem to be managing very well.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49I'll stick to writing copy and fitting in where I can.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52And anyway the view is...
0:40:55 > 0:40:57The view is better here.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21I know you. Mr Cilenti.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25I'm late, I know. I'm sorry, darling.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Did you order?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Two fingers, please. No ice.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39Telegraph is in. Lunching with the Sunday Times.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41How is your new Head of News?
0:41:41 > 0:41:43HE SIGHS
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Neurotics and traitors, that's all they can send us.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Well, I'm sure once he's settled in...
0:41:47 > 0:41:48Always the optimist, darling,
0:41:48 > 0:41:51but what transformative powers can he really offer?
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Mr Lyon is back. Bloody stole my story this morning.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Really. But how?
0:41:56 > 0:41:59It's all change at the top. Well, they'd better get ready,
0:41:59 > 0:42:03because they should be paying me treble what they're paying.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07It's an insult. I said so at the last review.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09This time they'd better do a bloody sight better. Thank you.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12I wonder what Mr Lyon is on.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Can you believe they've asked him to co-host?
0:42:15 > 0:42:17But he might just be what's needed.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19You'll still be the lead presenter.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24Exactly, I present. But I could be doing much, much more.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26I'm a valuable commodity, to be drawn from.
0:42:26 > 0:42:31I could be shaping the show. My input doesn't count for anything.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Sorry. Am I boring you?
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Yes, you are. You are boring me.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41I am bored.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46I spend my days trying to break the monotony of homemaking
0:42:46 > 0:42:48when there is nothing to home-make for.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Darling.
0:42:50 > 0:42:5318 months of trying, Hector.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56I want you to go and see Dr Blakeson.
0:42:56 > 0:43:01You should play some bridge, you haven't played bridge for months.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Don't wait up.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38LOUD MUSIC ECHOES
0:43:57 > 0:43:59Good evening, Miss Delaine.
0:44:02 > 0:44:03Cover it with your hair.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06I'll tell the boy to bring the lights down quickly
0:44:06 > 0:44:08on your final number.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10HE SIGHS
0:44:10 > 0:44:12You OK?
0:44:14 > 0:44:16See what happens when you don't listen to me?
0:44:18 > 0:44:21Angel girl.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41Interesting.
0:44:41 > 0:44:45That's what I thought. Second suit, same face, 15 years younger.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47They look like the Marx Brothers.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49It's something to think about.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58Background on recent unsolved killings.
0:44:58 > 0:45:02Ignoring the obvious scenes of domestic violence,
0:45:02 > 0:45:05it's the random acts of brutality,
0:45:05 > 0:45:08the beatings in the back alley in the West End that really stay with you.
0:45:08 > 0:45:12This is crime as a means of control.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15Makes you wonder who's in charge.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19So the word is you're leaking our scoops?
0:45:19 > 0:45:21We are the scoop.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23Paying off already, Mr Lyon.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26I hear ITV had their cameras in and all eyes were on you.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29Someone's nose is going to be out of joint.
0:45:35 > 0:45:36KNOCK ON DOOR
0:45:36 > 0:45:38Yes?
0:45:43 > 0:45:45You missed our four o'clock.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48Christ, it's going home time already?
0:45:48 > 0:45:51I hear it went well today.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Yes.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55Mr Lyon is back.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01You're an alcoholic.
0:46:02 > 0:46:07That was the first sentence my Head of News ever said to me.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09The second? "Congratulations, you're in good company."
0:46:13 > 0:46:16Think of Mr Lyon as your very own Sputnik-2.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19The beep-beep on your radar.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22A constant reminder that someone is flying high
0:46:22 > 0:46:25and for once it's not us.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27Good for you. Makes you work harder.
0:46:27 > 0:46:28Are you trying to oust me?
0:46:28 > 0:46:32No, I'm confident you are doing a perfectly good job of that yourself.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35You fail to make one more editorial meeting
0:46:35 > 0:46:37or are late back from one more lunch,
0:46:37 > 0:46:41and I will personally escort you from this building.
0:46:43 > 0:46:47You should know that my father-in-law is on the board.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50That has only sustained you for so long.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53Your contract's up for review. Don't ask for any more.
0:46:53 > 0:46:58You are trying to oust me. That's why you've brought him back.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01Mr Lyon may not have your presentational skills or charm,
0:47:01 > 0:47:06but he can be relied upon to deliver an unquestionably good story
0:47:06 > 0:47:08and THAT is what is wanted now.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19You nasty little man.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21- Sorry?- Wheedling your way in.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23HE LAUGHS
0:47:23 > 0:47:26I'm not wheedling. I've come back through the front door.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29Last time I was marched out the back and where were you?
0:47:29 > 0:47:32Quaffing champagne with your chums.
0:47:32 > 0:47:33Don't patronise me.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35Why not? It's what you've always done to me.
0:47:35 > 0:47:39I should thank you, it was the best thing that could have happened.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42I went somewhere. America, and you know what?
0:47:42 > 0:47:45Being a nobody in a country where everybody thinks
0:47:45 > 0:47:49they can be a somebody, that's infectious. It's exciting.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52I want that.
0:47:52 > 0:47:54For me.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56Keep up, Hector.
0:48:03 > 0:48:04THE DOOR SLAMS Hector...
0:48:12 > 0:48:14What did you say to him?
0:48:14 > 0:48:16- The obvious. - Marvellous.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Well, that went well.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33Your father died.
0:48:35 > 0:48:36It comes to us all.
0:48:36 > 0:48:42The most important event and the most poignant loss in a man's life.
0:48:42 > 0:48:43Freud.
0:48:44 > 0:48:49He didn't get on with his father. Yet he blamed himself for his death.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54It accounted in part for his obsession with his own mortality
0:48:54 > 0:49:00and an ever-nagging guilt that he believed follows when a father dies
0:49:00 > 0:49:01and his child lives.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05When my father died, I bought a boat.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08One of many rash decisions. And you?
0:49:08 > 0:49:10I'm sorry?
0:49:10 > 0:49:13One can't be driven by guilt.
0:49:15 > 0:49:21Shake it up. Shake it all up, Mr Lyon.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26Glad you haven't disappointed.
0:49:28 > 0:49:33Oh, the GPO are planning to introduce "postcodes" rather than addresses.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36Orwell was right. We are all numbers.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Miss Storm.
0:49:43 > 0:49:48Well done. You've decimated the team in the space of 24 hours.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51Actually, I hope it's the opposite of that.
0:49:51 > 0:49:52Miss Rowley.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54Thank you, Sissy.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56She's a brilliant producer.
0:49:56 > 0:49:57I never doubted it.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01But no harm in checking her pulse from time to time.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16He, um, staying too?
0:50:16 > 0:50:18Definitely.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31Are you off?
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Yes, I've got a date with a packet of Fairmount
0:50:33 > 0:50:36and the last chapter of my book.
0:50:36 > 0:50:37You?
0:50:37 > 0:50:40Oh, I thought I might go home.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43You know, really, darling, you are not getting any younger.
0:50:43 > 0:50:47Surprise me. Buy a bottle of wine, drink yourself silly
0:50:47 > 0:50:50and dance all night with some inappropriate man, like you used to.
0:50:50 > 0:50:54Much better than staying in with a good book.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57Me? I'm old, I've made my mistakes.
0:50:57 > 0:51:01But you? Too pretty. Don't let it go to waste.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04Run away for too long and they stop loving you back.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11- Good night, Miss Bishop. - Goodnight.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13Goodnight, Miss Storm.
0:51:46 > 0:51:49Mr Madden, so glad you could join us again this evening.
0:51:49 > 0:51:50Your usual table?
0:51:50 > 0:51:51No. Not tonight.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55This is Ed and Tom.
0:52:03 > 0:52:06Good evening, Mrs Goldman.
0:52:06 > 0:52:09Nice to have you home again, Freddie.
0:52:09 > 0:52:10Thank you, Mrs Goldman.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12She's very pretty. Is this her?
0:52:12 > 0:52:14What? Nah. I'm just helping me fella move in.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17No, no, no. This isn't her, Mrs Goldman.
0:52:19 > 0:52:23We've been watching you and we like your style. The Hour is very impressive.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25Undoubtedly, it's your ship and you sail it well.
0:52:25 > 0:52:28We'd just like to see you sail it over to our side.
0:52:34 > 0:52:36Thank you.
0:52:36 > 0:52:42It's not much to look at, but you can give it a coat of paint or...
0:52:42 > 0:52:45- Anyway, I hope it's all right. - It's perfect. Thank you.
0:52:45 > 0:52:46I'll just get the next box.
0:52:49 > 0:52:51Moneypenny.
0:52:51 > 0:52:55Don't say anything. Let's just...
0:52:55 > 0:52:57say hello and start from there, all right?
0:52:57 > 0:53:01I've brought wine and steak and even rum baba.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04Freddie?
0:53:04 > 0:53:05It's just me, Camille.
0:53:08 > 0:53:09I'm chopping onion.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12This is Sey.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14Oh, hello.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16And Sissy.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21And this is Miss Rowley.
0:53:21 > 0:53:26Oh. So delighted to meet you. Freddie has spoken so much of you.
0:53:26 > 0:53:28And this is...
0:53:28 > 0:53:30my wife.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40- Um...Camille?- Yes.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42Like the film, with Greta Garbo and...
0:53:42 > 0:53:44Robert Taylor.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48Robert Taylor.
0:53:53 > 0:53:54Married?
0:53:54 > 0:53:57- Yes.- Two months ago.
0:53:57 > 0:53:58Just outside of Paris.
0:53:58 > 0:54:02Ooh, how romantic!
0:54:02 > 0:54:05Um... I should get, um... I have to go now.
0:54:11 > 0:54:12Bel?
0:54:13 > 0:54:14Bel.
0:54:18 > 0:54:19Married.
0:54:21 > 0:54:26That's wonderful. And it's... it's just what you need.
0:54:26 > 0:54:30I mean, it's what you deserve and I...I just couldn't...
0:54:30 > 0:54:32I couldn't be happier for you.
0:54:45 > 0:54:46After you.
0:54:46 > 0:54:47Thank you.
0:54:53 > 0:54:54Austin Hereford? Very nice.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57- Is it yours? - Nah. It's my boyfriend's.
0:54:59 > 0:55:00Filthy nigger!
0:55:00 > 0:55:02THEY LAUGH
0:55:15 > 0:55:17- What happened to you? - None of your beeswax.
0:55:17 > 0:55:21- I'd never let my fella do that. - Don't worry. He's got what's coming to him.
0:55:29 > 0:55:33# You must never do a tango with an Eskimo
0:55:33 > 0:55:37# No, no, no Oh, dear, no
0:55:37 > 0:55:41# When a lady from Nebraska's at a party in Alaska
0:55:41 > 0:55:45# She must never do a tango with an Eskimo
