0:00:02 > 0:00:05CLOCK BELLS CHIME
0:00:05 > 0:00:07'This is London.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09'Prime Minister Mr Chamberlain is due to return from
0:00:09 > 0:00:12'an urgent meeting with Chancellor Hitler
0:00:12 > 0:00:15'at the latter's Alpine retreat in Berchtesgaden in Germany.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18'It is hoped that agreement can be reached regarding
0:00:18 > 0:00:23'Herr Hitler's attempt to reclaim Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia.'
0:00:25 > 0:00:27No sign of Mr Chamberlain's plane, sir?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29No. Not yet.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Open the door, Spargo, it's the Duke of Kent.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37'Meanwhile, German troops are positioned along
0:00:37 > 0:00:41'the Czech border and international relations remain tense.'
0:00:43 > 0:00:47One does rather hope the sun will come out in a timely manner.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50The word we've had is that the talks were inconclusive.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55- I'm quite sure this is just the first move of the chess-piece. - Chamberlain should dig his heels in.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hitler can't be contained unless we stand our ground.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00The British people are averse to war,
0:01:00 > 0:01:04especially over a territory of which they've scarcely heard!
0:01:04 > 0:01:07But if conflict is postponed, and it can only be postponed,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10when it comes it will be all-out, ideological war.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14It won't be allowed to happen, it can't be allowed to happen.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17And I can't sanction peace at any price.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20The world will have to pay the bill in blood.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23'The population of Great Britain await instructions
0:01:23 > 0:01:25'to prepare for conflict.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27'The military is ready to mobilise
0:01:27 > 0:01:31'and civilian bodies posed to act as soon as information is received.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35'The Air Raid precautions Group has stepped up preparations
0:01:35 > 0:01:37'to protect the public in the event of an attack'
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Sir. Your Royal Highness.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47The Prime Minister's plane.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Nurse!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Nurse!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Lady Agnes!
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I need a taxi, please. To take me to Eaton Place.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01I'm going home.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Air raid! Air raid! Air raid!
0:02:43 > 0:02:48You are advised to take cover! Air raid!
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Mr P? Mr Pritchard!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I am engaged in a civic task, Johnny.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Wardens are advised to test their rattles daily.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58You're wanted!
0:02:58 > 0:02:59A taxi?
0:02:59 > 0:03:04I never heard of anything so unwise.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05It will be putrid with germs,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09and it's not three weeks since her ladyship's Caesarean.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10We need a nice, bright fire
0:03:10 > 0:03:12for Lady Agnes, please. I advise
0:03:12 > 0:03:13deployment of the bellows.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15BELL RINGS
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Nanny Lyons again!
0:03:20 > 0:03:21The new nursery maid
0:03:21 > 0:03:24should have been here at noon.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Eunice, are your hands clean?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27No, Mr Pritchard. I'm picking over spinach.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Don't you go giving
0:03:29 > 0:03:31her contradictory instructions!
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Dr Mottershead's demanding
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Mousse A La Florentine,
0:03:34 > 0:03:38and meatless entrees don't make themselves.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Why's there somebody new just for the nursery?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42We're all run ragged, since Miss Buck went sick!
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I want this in her ladyship's bed,
0:03:44 > 0:03:48eighteen inches from the bottom, placed slightly to the left.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- What's that? - Mitsouko. She went off Shalimar.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22And so Lady Holland, you are restored to Eaton Place.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Were you ever lovers?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I beg your pardon, Dr Mottershead?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29You, and my half-sister.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Were you ever lovers? I was always rather curious.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Lady Holland's marriage to Sir Greville was sacramental
0:04:35 > 0:04:36and without stain.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43I suppose that's it now. You have performed your final service.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Unless you would care for me to attend to your travel arrangements.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I imagine you might like tickets for a train.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04No, thank you. I find myself quite comfortable.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Do you like her, Hector?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40This is your baby sister. Veronica.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- HECTOR CRIES - Oh dear. Do you suppose he's jealous?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Oh, we're not at home to Mr Jealous in my nursery, your ladyship.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Agnes! My dear.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56You look absolutely frightful, why have the clinic discharged you?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I discharged myself.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I couldn't just lie there, with things the way they are.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Has there been any word from Sir Hallam?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06None. Oh, I think she's improving.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Her expression was in rictus last week,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11as though she knew her arrival were ill-timed.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Are you anaemic?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I had a blood transfusion yesterday.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17It could have come from anywhere.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21You need a plant based diet, with plenty of vitamins.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I've drawn up a list for the cook.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27I don't believe there's any juice in carrots.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30If Dr Mottershead's supposed to be an archaeologist,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33why's she peddling all this new-fangled trash?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Lady Agnes doesn't need vitamins, she needs liver!
0:06:37 > 0:06:41I shall alert the butcher. Pig's for preference, calf's at a pinch?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Daily, until further notice.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48She should have stayed at home and had it in the bathroom.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52You'd think that obstetrician had set to with an axe.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Very well. Miss Beryl Ballard.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Three dresses, navy serge, three caps and matching aprons, starched.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Plus three pairs of hose, black lisle.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Oh, I don't wear lisle, in the general way.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Miss Buck said I could wear my own stockings.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Sadly, Miss Buck is in hospital at present.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16I am running the household in her stead, her absence will be lengthy.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Shoes please.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Black leather. Hand-finished, from the Lotus shop on Regent Street.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- They will suffice. - I really am sorry I was late.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I came straight from the coroner's office.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Save your apologies for Nanny Lyons.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36You have half an hour to change, and that lipstick must come off.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Eunice, our kitchen maid, will show you to your room.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Mr Chamberlain believes he can reach an understanding with
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Herr Hitler, but you must not be reassured by the radio reports.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Germany has not compromised in any way.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11There are still tanks on the borders of Czechoslovakia.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Yes?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I'm Beryl, the new nursery maid.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Nanny Lyons sends her apologies, but she sent me down.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Sent me down, sir.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Sir.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28I know Pritchard volunteered for Air Raid Precautions as long ago as May.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I now expect Spargo and John to follow his example.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Yes, sir!
0:08:33 > 0:08:37From tonight, this house prepares for war.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- What was the pill?- Norwegian seaweed. Blanche recommended it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03She came to say goodbye to Mother. When is she going to leave?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06She's your aunt. We must be kind to her.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I can't believe Mother isn't here.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12She always spoke such sense in times of crisis.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15So you finally admit it? It is a crisis?
0:09:15 > 0:09:21Darling. You nearly died. The baby nearly died.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I didn't, and I don't want you to have a moment's worry.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Hallam, they're digging trenches in Green Park!
0:09:27 > 0:09:31We have two tiny children, and London may be bombed into oblivion!
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Halifax agrees with Chamberlain,
0:09:33 > 0:09:37they'll do whatever it takes to stop Hitler from attacking us.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- But that's good, isn't it? - Not in the long term.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42And I intend to persuade them of that point of view.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- Hallam. You aren't going against policy?- I can only give advice.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I can hear your mother's voice now,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52as clearly as if she'd just walked into this room.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- What does she say?- She says...
0:09:57 > 0:10:02"..Careers are forged and broken during times of crisis.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06"Support the men in power, don't make their problems any worse."
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Mrs Thackeray says the trenches are going to be used as latrines.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17When the bombers come, it's going to be
0:10:17 > 0:10:20so frightening we'll all get the runs.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I won't get the runs.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I know Mr P says they're just for hiding from the gas, but...
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Will you be quiet about the gas!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31You're crying.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'm just not used to sharing a bed!
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I didn't even share with Mum, when we had no money.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50I've ordered you porridge
0:10:50 > 0:10:53with blackstrap molasses for your breakfast.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56And please don't be alarmed, but Pamela has arrived.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- But she's supposed to be in her asylum!- Matron telephoned.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03The building has been requisitioned by the government.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Pamela, darling! Why are you wearing your mother's housecoat?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I like her smell.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I begged Hallam to invite her to the funeral!
0:11:13 > 0:11:15She hasn't been able to express her emotions.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- FROM OUTSIDE:- Attention please!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Would all members of the public please collect their gas masks
0:11:20 > 0:11:24from their designated centre! All members of the public, please,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27to their designated centre!
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Attention please!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Would all members of the public please collect their gas
0:11:31 > 0:11:34masks from their designated centre!
0:11:34 > 0:11:38These sultanas weigh a ton, Mrs Thack.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Will we be here all afternoon?
0:11:40 > 0:11:41I shall take issue if we are.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45If there's one thing a war plays havoc with it's dried goods,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48and we still haven't managed to track down any sago,
0:11:48 > 0:11:49not to mention tapioca.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I must say I'm glad I put my Sunday hat on.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02There are some quite superior people in this queue.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Upon entering the hall, please give your name, age,
0:12:05 > 0:12:09and full correct address to the registration officer!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11No show without Punch.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Mr Pritchard! Mr Pritchard!
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Yes, Madam?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Nanny Lyons wouldn't bring the children,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27and Lady Agnes has to rest.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29She sent me with the measurements of everyone's heads!
0:12:30 > 0:12:32That is highly irregular.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Come with me.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39'Gas masks will be issued to you by your local authority.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40'They are free of charge,
0:12:40 > 0:12:44'the masks are your personal responsibility and you must
0:12:44 > 0:12:46'carry them with you at all times.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48'The filters are lined with blue asbestos
0:12:48 > 0:12:52'and effective against mustard gas, but not carbon monoxide or coal gas.'
0:12:52 > 0:12:57- Somebody's having a joke with us. - Oh, Eunice. If only they were!
0:12:57 > 0:13:01'When the gas rattles sound, put on your mask no matter where you are.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04'If you are out of doors, put on gloves,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07'or put your hands in your pockets.'
0:13:10 > 0:13:15There's been a memo from Downing Street, Foreign Secretary.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Herr Hitler has invited Mr Chamberlain to another summit,
0:13:18 > 0:13:19at a spa near Bonn.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Very well. Are these pleading for peace, or war?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I don't know, sir. They're mostly marked "Personal".
0:13:30 > 0:13:34It's always personal, when the man on the street puts pen to paper.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Lord Halifax.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42I am at least as concerned with what Herr Hitler puts on paper.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46And with what Mr Chamberlain might sign!
0:13:46 > 0:13:49He needs the best negotiators to accompany him,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53to ensure that there is no ambiguity, even in the syntax...
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Holland. I know you align yourself with those
0:13:55 > 0:13:57most opposed to a compromise with Hitler.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02I know you speak to Eden, and to Churchill too.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06You're closer to power than both of them at present,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09and that will cease to be the case if you carry on like this!
0:14:09 > 0:14:10My views are my own, sir.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Go. And I don't mean to Germany.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32So you have scored two on the dice,
0:14:32 > 0:14:37and that means you may move your counter two times.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Snake.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Oh...
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Dr Mottershead. I believe Miss Pamela is perspiring.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52I don't want to play this game. I want to play with Solomon.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Miss Pamela has done very well, Pritchard,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57and has earned a nice cold drink.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00One special soda water, on its way.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04With a maraschino cherry, as Miss Pamela prefers.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08The girl is in deep grief, of course.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11The practice of mourning has always intrigued me,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14ever since I transcribed the Papyrus of Nu.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19She's transferring her feelings from Maud to the monkey.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22It is a doomed endeavour - they were two quite different personalities.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25He's clapping me.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28See? I doubt Maud ever clapped her in her life.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30If she did, I never saw her.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Still, I suppose every mother does the best she can.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35And I'm still not satisfied with these gas masks.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Hector has one of his own.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39But why is there nothing for newborns, Pritchard?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42It is recommended that we roll the baby in a blanket.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45If a rolled up blanket will suffice,
0:15:45 > 0:15:49then what are these proboscid monstrosities for?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52And I'll have a carrot juice, if I may.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I will communicate with the kitchen.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56MONKEY SQUEALS
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Pritchard! That wretched animal is going to have to live downstairs!
0:16:03 > 0:16:06These came. From Persie.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12"Beloved sis. Make sure you spoil her. Smacking kisses, Persie."
0:16:12 > 0:16:16It's rather ingenious, sending flowers from Berlin.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20You wait. You'll get the bill from Constance Spry tomorrow.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I won't. It came this morning.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25We've hardly heard from her in almost two years.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27I know she behaved abominably,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30but if war breaks out her situation will be dreadful!
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Please, can't you try to track her down, and persuade her to come home?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Persie does what most appeals to her at any given time.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I doubt I could persuade her to do anything.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I thought that was your stock in trade, persuading people.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I don't think that comment was called for.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I didn't say it to be unkind.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I said it because I care.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Foreign Office please, Spargo.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Pritchard! What on earth is this?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18A gas proof pram, your ladyship.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22A newly patented device, designed by a gentleman living in Maidstone.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26He is described as "a bachelor, but interested in babies."
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I really don't like the look of it at all.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30If I may demonstrate.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Baby is placed in the body of the pram, on the mattress supplied.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37The lid is brought down on Baby,
0:17:37 > 0:17:42who sees familiar faces in the window, and is reassured.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45And where did you acquire this, Pritchard?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49The ARP depot. I was able to exert a little influence.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Well, I suppose if it's thoroughly scrubbed with Milton's fluid,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- and then aired... - Your ladyship!
0:18:05 > 0:18:09I'm so sorry, John. I feel a perfect fool.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Well. You have been put through the mincer a bit.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I were premature.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Were you?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Too small even for the cot.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Me mam had to put me to sleep in a hat box
0:18:26 > 0:18:29and slept with it in the crook of her arm to keep me warm.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31It's on top of the wardrobe now.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Just her Sunday hat in it these days.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Veronica has trouble with her lungs.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43She stopped breathing three times in the first week,
0:18:43 > 0:18:47as though the effort was beyond her.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49She'll get the hang of it.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53As long as she isn't gassed.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03My grandad used to say to me there's no such thing as a dumb creature.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06We had a Jack Russell that could bark out numbers.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09But I have never met a thicker animal than this.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Solomon's purely a pet.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15He's just meant to look appealing and not exert himself.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20I'm leaving this to dry.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20I'm not surprised Lady Agnes had the jitters. Call it a pram?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Could suffocate a baby.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Good lad.
0:19:46 > 0:19:52Good Lad, see, it's nice isn't it. Stay there, stay there Solomon.
0:20:30 > 0:20:36- Johnny! What the hell have you done? - I were worried about the baby
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Jesus wept, Johnny! What are you playing at?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41It were only for five minutes!
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I were just testing the gas pram out!
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- You what?- On the monkey. To see if it worked.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Are your brains just painted on?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58They do it down the pit with the linnets!
0:20:58 > 0:21:00His heart has arrested. Johnny, get the brandy.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Not the master's brandy! The cooking brandy!
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Mrs Thack put it all in that ponding a la Clarence!
0:21:11 > 0:21:12You'll break his ribs, Mr Pritchard!
0:21:12 > 0:21:17I'll break Johnny's neck if we can't get this wretched animal to breathe.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I was trying to help.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34I am of the view that life is now extinct.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38You'll get the sack for this.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40You left the keys to the Humber on a hook!
0:21:40 > 0:21:43You'll be in just as much bother as him!
0:21:43 > 0:21:48Couldn't we stretch it out in the garden nip its neck with pliers, make out he'd been attacked by rats?
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- His lips are bright pink it's a sign of gassing.- How do you know?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- I just do.- Eunice. Put this in the laundry crate.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57There will be no word of this to anyone -
0:21:57 > 0:21:58beyond the boundary of this room.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I can't be found out, Mr Pritchard! If I am, I'll lose my place.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Mr Amanjit has gone to temple.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Mrs Thackeray has gone to see Miss Buck at the London Chest,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12then Robin Hood, second house at the Locarno.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14We must hope their absence will assist us.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17You had to twist the master's arm to take me back on after Borstal!
0:22:17 > 0:22:20If it wasn't for you, I'd still be on the streets
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Don't ask! - You'll be in as much bother as him.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Dear little Miss Veronica looks as though she will
0:22:28 > 0:22:33thrive on a diet of good conversation, porcelain and pearls.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36It would therefore delight me to be her Godpapa.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Thanks, old friend. - I'm sure you'll be quite marvellous.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Will you excuse me, whilst I take them back to Nanny?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Of course.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Come on young man.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Night, night, be good for Nanny.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Fatherhood suits him.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00At the moment it's the only thing that brings him any solace.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04He's convinced that Chamberlain is wrong, but feels powerless to influence a change.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06It's as though he's being stifled.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Kept at arm's length, because his views don't fit.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Does he suspect that?
0:23:10 > 0:23:14I suspect it. He may ruin his career.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Your mother-in-law would be proud of you.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19No, she wouldn't. She thought me stupid,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22she'd be fuming that I even dared to take a view.
0:23:22 > 0:23:28I'm not fuming. I worry for him too.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38'Volunteers for the trench digging party,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41'please report to the officer at mustering point three.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43'Volunteers for the Barrage Balloon team,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46'please report to mustering point five.'
0:23:48 > 0:23:49I hate the smell of mud.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53I hate it now, I hate it when it dries on me.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55It's the smell of my Dad, on leave from the front.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Bringing my mum French chocolates in a box.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Giving me sixpence and his fleas.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06My old man never went to war. He stayed down the pit.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Lucky him.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10What will we do if the family finds out?
0:24:10 > 0:24:14It's a monkey, Johnny! A monkey, and we're digging bloody trenches!
0:24:14 > 0:24:15I don't want to lose my job!
0:24:15 > 0:24:20There will be full employment for the likes of you and me. Don't you worry.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31MUFFLED VOICES: I always favour the Locarno.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35I knew a woman who got fleas in her beaver coat at the Scala.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38But the Scala always shows the Pathe newsreels.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40They are superior in every way.
0:24:44 > 0:24:50Both of you home together. And a little earlier than expected!
0:24:50 > 0:24:53We chanced upon each other on the bus.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55And how was Miss Buck?
0:24:55 > 0:24:59She is as thin as a paper doll! That shadow on her lung was TB.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01We feared as much.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05She's being moved to a sanatorium near Esher.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I couldn't settle in the cinema.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Errol Flynn was being very boisterous.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I don't mean any disrespect, Mr Pritchard,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I know you've shaken his martinis in your time -
0:25:15 > 0:25:18but with all the trouble in the world
0:25:18 > 0:25:22I couldn't sit there watching men pretend to fight.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25In stockinet leggings. Tea, Mr Amanjit?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Please. Allow me.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02BANGING ON DOOR
0:26:03 > 0:26:07BELL RINGS
0:26:07 > 0:26:09BANGING ON DOOR
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Good morning, Sergeant.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16If I might speak to the master of the house, sir.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Someone telephoned the station, sir.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24And gave this address, saying there had been a murder.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27It was me.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Would you, or would you not,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54agree to the fact that the gums are the colour of cherryade?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59I'm not familiar with cherryade.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Well if you've pulled as many heads out of ovens as I have,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05you would know what you are looking at.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Carbon monoxide, ie gas.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11This, sir, appears to constitute an offence against
0:27:11 > 0:27:13the 1911 Act for the Protection of Animals.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18The offender must be found and prosecuted.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22This creature was cherished, and I insist on justice!
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Was it your monkey, sir?
0:27:25 > 0:27:30- No. It belonged to my late mother. - Oh. Do YOU insist on justice?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Sergeant.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36I am to blame for this unfortunate occurrence.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38What do you mean, Pritchard?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40In my capacity as an Air Raid Warden,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I undertook to test a piece of prototype equipment,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46to be specific, a gas-proof pram.
0:27:46 > 0:27:52The animal's demise was the result of that experiment.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54I see.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57He was my mother's friend!
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Well in view of the current crisis,
0:28:02 > 0:28:07we'd be inclined to overlook a case against an animal.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12You think it doesn't matter that things die?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Of course it matters, Pamela!
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- Follow me please, sir. - Of course.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Well, sir.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I don't think you're going to find us
0:28:48 > 0:28:50much exercised by all this monkey business.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58However, during our customary check ups,
0:28:58 > 0:29:02we stumbled on a separate misdemeanour.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04I see.
0:29:04 > 0:29:11This isn't your first time in a cell is it, Warwick Edgar Pritchard?
0:29:13 > 0:29:16No, Sergeant. It is not.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21So why, when you were filling in your
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Air Raid Precautions Volunteer application,
0:29:25 > 0:29:27did you not admit your past?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30There were no questions pertaining to my past.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33You were asked if you had any previous convictions.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35I have no previous convictions!
0:29:35 > 0:29:39You spent five months in Richmond Jail, in 1917.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43I went before a tribunal, not a court.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46My actions did not constitute a criminal offence.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Would you like to spell out what they were?
0:29:49 > 0:29:52You are clearly apprised of what they were.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Not quite so proud of yourself now.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57I wasn't proud of myself then.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I simply acted according to my principles.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Say it.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04It was more than twenty years ago.
0:30:04 > 0:30:05Say it!
0:30:05 > 0:30:08I was a Conscientious Objector!
0:30:08 > 0:30:09You refused to fight.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13You refused to bear arms in defence of your country.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18You went to prison in the last war, and didn't admit to it
0:30:18 > 0:30:20when you had to fill in your forms for this one.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- We aren't at war yet. - Don't split hairs.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26I'm in the habit of being precise. My profession requires it.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31So does mine. I have precisely no toes on my left foot.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37I lost them to gangrene, after six months up to my ankles in mud
0:30:37 > 0:30:39and rat piss in the trenches.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49- Have you ever smelt gangrene? - Yes. I was in the Ambulance Service.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- Before or after you were in prison? - Now you're splitting hairs.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00I think you need a little time to simmer down.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09'The Prime Minister has concluded his second set of talks
0:31:09 > 0:31:10'with Chancellor Hitler.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14'The summit took place at Bad Godesburg in Germany.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17'Mr Chamberlain maintains that war can be averted,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19'but Hitler has not altered his demands
0:31:19 > 0:31:24'and the international situation has deteriorated.'
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Guten Tag. Ich moechte bitte mit Persephone Towyn sprechen.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30'Es tut mir leid. Ich bin neu hier.'
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- 'May I help you?' - My name is Holland.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39I'm trying to track down my sister-in-law, Persephone Towyn.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42I understood she was resident at this address.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46'Persie? I'm sorry. She's moved on.'
0:31:46 > 0:31:47PHONE GOES DEAD
0:32:10 > 0:32:14I was hoping we might have sandbags at the front by now.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16They were meant to come today, sir.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18What the deuce is going on?
0:32:21 > 0:32:22ANGRY SHOUTING
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Dr Mottershead is going through
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Lady Holland's papers, her journals, and her letters!
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- Aunt Blanche, this is just plain intrusive.- Maud was my sister.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- Half-sister.- We shared the same father, and his genes were dominant.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38Now, Pamela is helping me to sort things out.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41She's going to take one or two things as mementoes,
0:32:41 > 0:32:44then the rest can be burned, or filed and packed away.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Dr Mottershead intends to commandeer this desk.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49I have not sanctioned her actions.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51I would hope not. I insist you defer to Mr Amanjit,
0:32:51 > 0:32:54he is an established member of this household.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56I am clearing space for pens and notebooks.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01The British Museum will have to be evacuated, and I've been asked to help curate the transfer.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05It's splendid stuff, the Elgin Marbles will be put in Aldwych Tube.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09I don't care! If you're not going back to Cambridge,
0:33:09 > 0:33:12you should rent yourself some rooms.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14- I like it here.- I don't.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17And you needn't even think of moving those.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37My position is difficult.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40The authority was always Lady Holland's.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43And now she is gone, I do not know to whom I answer.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47You don't answer to my Aunt, I can tell you that now.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Sit down, Mr Amanjit.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02This was my pistol when I was in the Navy.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10It's the only gun I've ever owned,
0:34:10 > 0:34:13and you're the only person I can trust with it.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Is it a Colt, sir? Mine was a Webley 45.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28What was your regiment?
0:34:28 > 0:34:3059th Scinde Horse, Jullunder Brigade. Sir.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- So you would have been at Ypres? - I was wounded at Ypres.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39That gun needs stripping down and cleaning.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43In the event of an invasion, if I'm not here, it is yours,
0:34:43 > 0:34:46and you may use it as required.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53I will perform any service you desire, sir.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56If a man has duties, he has a certain path.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00I'm going to speak to the police about Pritchard,
0:35:00 > 0:35:02and tell them I'm not pressing any charges.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05I want you to go and collect him in the car.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08He is essential to the running of this house.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13- What about the monkey? - We have other things to cry about.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22'As a precaution orders were issued this afternoon
0:35:22 > 0:35:25'calling up men of the Anti Aircraft units of the Territorial Army...'
0:35:25 > 0:35:27SHE HUMS
0:35:28 > 0:35:32I'm sorry. I need to tip the nappies out.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37'..Also as a precaution officers and men of the Royal Air Force
0:35:37 > 0:35:40'and units of the Auxiliary Air Force.'
0:35:40 > 0:35:44I'm getting used to it already.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47..'Defensive units of the Auxiliary...'
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- Ouch.- Yeah, can't get my gloves on for driving,
0:35:50 > 0:35:54- my knuckles are so swollen. - All hands to the pump, eh?
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Some paperwork for you to sign before you go, sir.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Shame it wasn't a chicken you gassed.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18You could be setting the scene with a few white feathers.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35The Great War was a just war, every effort to avoid it through
0:36:35 > 0:36:37diplomacy had failed,
0:36:37 > 0:36:39so every man had a duty to bear arms!
0:36:39 > 0:36:42That is your belief, as a Sikh, Mr Amanjit.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Stop rattling on about religion!
0:36:44 > 0:36:47It's the hypocrisy that makes my stomach churn!
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Marching up and down like a clockwork Mussolini!
0:36:50 > 0:36:53I have been doing what I thought was right!
0:36:53 > 0:36:55I did what I thought was right in 1917.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58I'll never forget the morning my Leonard left.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00He said, "I don't want to go."
0:37:00 > 0:37:03"I don't want to go."
0:37:03 > 0:37:06And I didn't say that I thought that war was wrong.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09I didn't say, "stay home, stay safe."
0:37:10 > 0:37:11I hid in the hall,
0:37:11 > 0:37:15and the last thing I heard was the latch on the gate.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20And his boots on the pavement. Marching off.
0:37:23 > 0:37:29I sometimes think that I was a widow from that moment.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31People didn't do what they thought was right,
0:37:31 > 0:37:34they did what was right.
0:37:36 > 0:37:42Hitler and Chamberlain to meet in Munich! Chamberlain to Munich!
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Ah, thank you very much sir. Thank you.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49PHONE RINGS
0:37:59 > 0:38:01This is our final chance.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05And I have had more than one sleepless night
0:38:05 > 0:38:08since I spoke angrily to you.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09I too, sir.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15And I find that my opinion has been altered.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Hitler is dictating terms,
0:38:21 > 0:38:24and it is all too easy to see where it will end.
0:38:27 > 0:38:33You are to go to Germany. It has been decided.
0:38:34 > 0:38:42And I end as I began. This is our final chance.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Come upstairs, Hallam.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Come upstairs, and kiss our children.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13They're the future, you'll be doing it for them.
0:39:16 > 0:39:17PHONE RINGS
0:39:23 > 0:39:24I called as soon as I heard.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27It's frightfully good of you to come.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31I wanted to. Good for my nerves.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32You have no nerves.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Is this Bessie Smith?
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Billie Holiday, do keep up. Really, Hallam.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44One youthful night on the tiles with an exotic songstress,
0:39:44 > 0:39:47and you're marked for life.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Cheers.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03One wishes opinion weren't so riven.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06They're calling you the Glamour Boys, did you know that?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09You and Eden. Cranborne. Ronald Tree.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12The men who'd prefer to thumb their noses at the Nazis.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17We don't want war. But we don't believe in appeasement.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21You believe in England, don't you?
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Always.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Hallam.
0:40:31 > 0:40:36My brother, the King, wrote a letter to Herr Hitler.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40The King said "I do not write as one Head of State to another,
0:40:40 > 0:40:44"but rather as one ex-serviceman to another.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47"I am sure I need not remind you of the last Great War,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50"and am convinced that you too would be
0:40:50 > 0:40:54"appalled at the possibility of such a calamity recurring."
0:40:54 > 0:40:56And I wondered...
0:40:59 > 0:41:03..if you might take it to the Fuehrer?
0:41:07 > 0:41:12No, sir. The boost to Hitler's ego would be monstrous.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16- Do you even refuse to read it? - I must.- Take it. I beg you.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20No! Sir.
0:41:22 > 0:41:28I really do believe that it would be the better thing
0:41:28 > 0:41:32for your country, and for your career.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35I'm not thinking about my career.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47TURNS MUSIC OFF
0:41:47 > 0:41:51I can assure you that your wife thinks about it all the time.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57Sir.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Your valise is packed and ready, sir,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16and your clothes for the morning are set out.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Tailcoat and striped trousers.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24And her ladyship suggested your late father's cufflinks.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Thank you, Pritchard.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30I'm sorry about all that business with the police.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34Your private life, and your opinions, are your own affair.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37But it must have been distressing for you.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42I find that when one follows one's conscience, sir,
0:42:42 > 0:42:45the pain is generally felt by other people.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25Can Mr Chamberlain by persuaded to change course?
0:43:25 > 0:43:27What are your views on Herr Hitler?
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- Sorry about this, Spargo. - Don't apologise, sir.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37Aren't you afraid that standing up to Hitler will result in war?
0:44:00 > 0:44:04I wonder, Mr Amanjit, whether you might pass the salt?
0:44:16 > 0:44:19SLAMS IT DOWN
0:44:19 > 0:44:22That were uncalled for.
0:44:22 > 0:44:27I'd have thrown the pepper at him, too.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31It's like giving meat and two veg to Judas.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Oh, I think you should all stop this.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35Getting your shirt tails in a twist
0:44:35 > 0:44:37over something that happened over twenty years ago!
0:44:37 > 0:44:41"Something?" Something? Some of us fought a war on your behalf!
0:44:41 > 0:44:44A war to end all wars!
0:44:44 > 0:44:46Well it didn't end all wars, did it?
0:44:46 > 0:44:49So you've nothing to be smug about.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03No.
0:45:03 > 0:45:04This is all my fault.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08Go back out to the servants' hall.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16You're taking sides, and that never solves a quarrel.
0:45:16 > 0:45:21GUNSHOTS
0:45:22 > 0:45:25Excuse me, Mr Amanjit!
0:45:25 > 0:45:27Mr Amanjit.
0:45:27 > 0:45:31This is a domestic garden, and there are adjacent residences.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36I do not consider your actions to be safe.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38And you would know all about safety wouldn't you.
0:45:38 > 0:45:42Mr Amanjit! Give that gun to me.
0:45:42 > 0:45:43Your husband charged me with this.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47Well he isn't here now, and you're provoking a disturbance.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50Do as Lady Agnes tells you. Give her the gun.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Forgive me, if I was overzealous.
0:45:58 > 0:45:59It's warm.
0:45:59 > 0:46:00That's not uncommon.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06I've twice had occasion to fire one in the past.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08The spectacle has concluded.
0:46:08 > 0:46:12And since we are in England, I suggest you make some tea.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18I was brought up by Quaker parents, your ladyship.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22Their belief was that there is "that of God in everyone."
0:46:22 > 0:46:25It became mine too.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27Well, I think that's rather nice.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30Aren't you going to ask him to sit down?
0:46:30 > 0:46:33No, because it would make us both feel very awkward.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35Carry on, Pritchard.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39It made violence seem abhorrent.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43When war was declared, I joined the Friends Ambulance Unit.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45It seemed the proper way of seeing out the war -
0:46:45 > 0:46:49I could play my part, and did not need to declare my conscience.
0:46:50 > 0:46:54Others had more courage, and they were sentenced.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56The conditions at Richmond jail were vile,
0:46:56 > 0:47:01and I felt moved to declare myself at one with those imprisoned.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04I meant only to draw attention to their plight,
0:47:04 > 0:47:07but found myself incarcerated alongside them.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Why, Pritchard?
0:47:09 > 0:47:12Why did you speak out, when there was no need?
0:47:12 > 0:47:14I am occasionally driven by my passions.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17I wouldn't ask him to elaborate if I were you.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20Everyone's entitled to some secrets.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22You took the blame for John, too.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24There was no need for that.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28He is impetuous, and so am I.
0:47:30 > 0:47:33Most men have more in common than they think.
0:47:45 > 0:47:48And this is the wording suggested for Clause Two?
0:47:48 > 0:47:50Yes, Prime Minister.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52It concerns the terms for the withdrawal of troops
0:47:52 > 0:47:55from Sudetenland, by October the 10th.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29Might I have a moment please, Prime Minister?
0:48:31 > 0:48:34Herren. Wir moechten uns beraten.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42Prime Minister, I strongly advise you to reconsider.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44Your amendment ties His Majesty's Government into a pact
0:48:44 > 0:48:46that gives Germany the upper hand.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48We cannot add the caveat -
0:48:48 > 0:48:51"without destroying their military installations."
0:48:51 > 0:48:55This is the wording which Hitler has requested.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58We need a declaration which Hitler will accept.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02Holland. This amendment has to stand.
0:49:14 > 0:49:18We all fit into this household in a different way.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21We come and go through different doors,
0:49:21 > 0:49:23we eat our meals at separate tables,
0:49:23 > 0:49:28but we all give 165 Eaton Place as our address.
0:49:28 > 0:49:34And that means we're on the same side.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37From now on, I expect your behaviour to reflect that.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40Or how else will we survive a war?
0:49:44 > 0:49:47Stop looking so shifty. I did ask permission.
0:49:47 > 0:49:52I'm doing Johnny's next. You can take them out now.
0:49:57 > 0:49:58Almost clean again.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00Oooh, it's the peroxide that does it.
0:50:02 > 0:50:06I used to do nails at a hairdresser's in Walthamstow.
0:50:06 > 0:50:11I did hair too, not particularly well. That's going to change.
0:50:12 > 0:50:13Oh, yes?
0:50:13 > 0:50:17I'm saving up to be apprenticed to a Mayfair salon.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20Monsieur Gaston, Court Coiffeur.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23- How much does that cost? - Forty guineas.
0:50:23 > 0:50:27That's why I'm here. Living in, all found. So I can save.
0:50:27 > 0:50:29It's an investment.
0:50:29 > 0:50:32Even if there's going to be a war?
0:50:34 > 0:50:36People want what's beautiful.
0:50:36 > 0:50:40They want it more when the world turns black. I know, I've seen it.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43My mother used to cut pictures of jewellery
0:50:43 > 0:50:46out of magazines before she died.
0:50:46 > 0:50:49Pictures of houses that she'd never live in.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51Did she know she was dying?
0:50:51 > 0:50:53I think she had it all planned.
0:50:58 > 0:51:03The verdict wasn't suicide, it was misadventure.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07Her head wasn't fully in the oven when I found her.
0:51:07 > 0:51:11There is every possibility that she might have tripped.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15- Gas, eh? - It gets everywhere these days.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40Whisky und soda, bitte. Doppelt, mit Eis.
0:52:01 > 0:52:03LAUGHS
0:52:12 > 0:52:14Shocking to think old Maud has gone.
0:52:14 > 0:52:18Still, she taught me to smoke. I'll think of her every day.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20Kellner!
0:52:20 > 0:52:23Das ist ein Gin Martini. Ich bat um Wodka.
0:52:24 > 0:52:27- Vodka?- Oh, I'm quite the sophisticate these days.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31- Joachim told me you were here. - Joachim?
0:52:31 > 0:52:35Von Ribbentrop. And please don't pull that big brother face.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37Joachim and I aren't lovers.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40- Any more.- Good. - I'm teasing!
0:52:43 > 0:52:47You can't tell. You always could, before.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51He made sure I was looked after, when I first arrived.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54I needed it. Needed him, really.
0:52:54 > 0:52:57Besides, aren't we all rowing in the same boat now?
0:52:57 > 0:53:02- Same team, great international friends?- I don't know.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04You can't save the whole world, Hallam.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06Agnes wants you to come home.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09And you can't save me. Because I'm not in danger.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13Persie. If Britain signs the deal I've seen being drafted,
0:53:13 > 0:53:15in twelve months time the world will be on fire.
0:53:15 > 0:53:20If you leave soon, I can arrange a diplomatic flight for you.
0:53:20 > 0:53:24Do you think I've nothing to stay here for?
0:53:24 > 0:53:28That I haven't built a life I may not want to leave?
0:53:28 > 0:53:31It was May, the first time Friedrich brought me here.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34I thought the smell was of the lilacs in the garden.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37I found out it was the smell of money.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40I gather I'm meant to ask who Friedrich is?
0:53:41 > 0:53:44He's in the Army now, although he wasn't always.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48He's a Standarthenfuehrer.
0:53:50 > 0:53:51It means Colonel.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56- He has family money. - You have family, Persie.
0:53:58 > 0:54:02I can't work out whether that's a threat, or reassurance.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12Have you never wanted to cut all ties?
0:54:12 > 0:54:17Sever every bond, and just surrender all your burdens?
0:54:17 > 0:54:18If I did, I never dared.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23Listen.
0:54:23 > 0:54:29The Very Thought Of You. Friedrich buys me records from America.
0:54:32 > 0:54:37# The longing here for you
0:54:37 > 0:54:40# You'll never know how slow
0:54:42 > 0:54:45# The moments go
0:54:45 > 0:54:47# Till I'm near to you
0:54:47 > 0:54:54# I see your face in every flower
0:54:54 > 0:54:57# Your eyes in stars above... #
0:55:07 > 0:55:12You can leave with me tomorrow. I can take you home.
0:55:14 > 0:55:16No.
0:55:30 > 0:55:32But I might come and wave you off.
0:55:39 > 0:55:43# It's just the thought of you
0:55:43 > 0:55:45# The very thought of you
0:55:45 > 0:55:53# My love. #
0:56:01 > 0:56:04It smells the same as plimsolls, but I'm getting used to it.
0:56:04 > 0:56:08Will you give over trying to make small talk, Eunice!
0:56:08 > 0:56:10You sound like a flatulent mallard.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12I said it smells the same as plimsolls,
0:56:12 > 0:56:15but I'm getting used to it.
0:56:25 > 0:56:27Mr Pritchard.
0:56:28 > 0:56:30Mr Amanjit.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Sort Eunice's straps out.
0:56:36 > 0:56:40The way she's got them addled, Hitler's halfway home.
0:57:03 > 0:57:08'We, the German Fuehrer and the British Prime Minister
0:57:08 > 0:57:13'are agreed that the question of Anglo-German relations
0:57:13 > 0:57:18'is of the first importance.
0:57:18 > 0:57:26'We regard this agreement, signed last night,
0:57:26 > 0:57:29'and the Anglo-German agreement,
0:57:29 > 0:57:38'as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples to never to go to war
0:57:38 > 0:57:41'with one another again!
0:57:41 > 0:57:46'There has come back from Germany peace - with honour.
0:57:46 > 0:57:51'I believe it is peace for our time!'
0:57:52 > 0:57:54'We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
0:57:54 > 0:57:59'And I now recommend you go home and sleep quietly in your beds.'
0:58:00 > 0:58:03Is it all over then?
0:58:03 > 0:58:08This is history, Eunice. It's never over.
0:58:31 > 0:58:33His Excellency, and Mrs Kennedy,
0:58:33 > 0:58:36will be bringing two additional guests -
0:58:36 > 0:58:39their son Jack, and, a Mr Caspar Landry.
0:58:39 > 0:58:41- I told Agnes how you were. - Did you tell her that we kissed?
0:58:41 > 0:58:44And what's your heart's desire, Mr Landry?
0:58:44 > 0:58:45I'd rather like to dance with you.
0:58:45 > 0:58:49You do not address any guest of the family upstairs as "dear!"
0:58:49 > 0:58:52Let alone the son of the American Ambassador!
0:58:52 > 0:58:55I don't want to be here any more!
0:58:55 > 0:58:58- Hallam. I want her home. - These are cries for help.
0:58:58 > 0:59:02Sir, we could take in tens of thousands. Britain should take the lead.
