0:00:26 > 0:00:28FILM: I guess this ain't good for either one of us
0:00:28 > 0:00:29to be seen together.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Right or wrong, you know, people like to talk.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36- It'd better be goodbye.- What's the matter, afraid?- Of you? No.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Well, after all, we're on the same ship.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40We still have eight days, you know?
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Well, you can take nice long walks out in the sunshine.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Pass my cigarettes, will you?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I appear to have only one shoe.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10How inconvenient. You shall have to hop back to Whitehall.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Do you know what I should like now?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I could hazard a guess.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Tea.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Tea?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23With cream cakes and tiny sandwiches. When I was a girl,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I used to dream of taking afternoon tea at a smart London hotel.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Room service might be more advisable.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Honestly, Hallam, you're such a stick in the mud.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Am I indeed?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38SHE SQUEALS
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- The larger cases are for the luggage compartment, Spargo.- My lady.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45If you could take him out to the car.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Come here.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Agnes? What on earth?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54I'm taking the children to Buckinghamshire.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Does Hallam know about this?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00You can't just go.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Then what should I do, Persie?
0:02:01 > 0:02:05You know how things are. These last few weeks have been intolerable.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09We barely speak. Do you think that will change if I stay?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I suppose you could leave him a note.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17'I know we discussed you going at some point'
0:02:17 > 0:02:19if the situation worsened.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Marina telephoned, and with Nanny Lyons visiting her sister,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- I couldn't see any reason to wait. - But surely...
0:02:24 > 0:02:28It means the children will be safe, whatever happens.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Very well. If it's what you want.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34But I don't see why you need to take the train. Spargo could easily...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Is it what YOU want, Hallam?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Agnes, please...
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Are you happy? With me?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Because I don't think I've ever been so unutterably miserable in my life.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Perhaps if we both have time to think...
0:02:54 > 0:02:56How long will you be gone?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I have no idea.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32ANNOUNCER: 'The pride of empire
0:03:32 > 0:03:34'is translated into willingness to serve,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37'as Britain builds a mighty civil defence force.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43'Meanwhile, the Polish ambassador, returns to London from Warsaw.'
0:03:50 > 0:03:53A bit of warning would have been nice.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56What with Dr Mottershead in Norfolk visiting the transport kiddies,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I've a saddle of lamb going to waste.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- There was a note, you said? - It's on the mantelpiece.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Sir Hallam can't be happy. First the business with Mr Landry,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10and then she goes running off to the country.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14How are we progressing with plans for the refuge room?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17They start bombing and gassing us, a bit of carpet won't do much.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19You want to be as far away from London as you can get.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Is that my Tatler? I left that out for Beryl.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26There's an article about Rene Dupont, hairdresser to the stars.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Ha!- He's very famous in America, actually.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Ginger Rogers was a brunette until she met him.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32You don't say.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Any instructions from Her Ladyship?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Only one.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39It appears I am to join Lady Malcolm's ball committee
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- as a servants' representative. - Well, now!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45What, on top of your ARP duties?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Well, they could have asked you first. What a cheek.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51On the contrary, Beryl, it's an honour.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04So did Agnes say when she'll be back?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- (Persie!) - It's a perfectly innocuous question.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10(We can't discuss this here.)
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Thank you, Pritchard.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Do you know, it might even be for the best.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31How can it possibly be for the best?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Agnes is my wife. Things should never have got to this point.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I should never have let them.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41I see.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me, Hallam.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I really have the most dreadful headache.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I don't see what all the fuss is about.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- If it's just a servants' dance... - It's not a dance, it's a ball.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02A proper ball, every year, every summer at the Albert Hall.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Apparently, this year it's to be themed -
0:06:04 > 0:06:06characters from history and literature.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Well, that hardly narrows the field.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Lady Agnes has suggested Robin Hood and Maid Marian.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14She very much hopes we will participate.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I thought perhaps Eunice and Johnny.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Robin Hood? Wouldn't I have to wear stockings?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Didn't do Errol Flynn any harm.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Indeed, it did not.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I do hope Sir Hallam takes the same table this year.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32It was so nice to have somewhere to sit with a decent view.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35And Queen Mary herself took the table next to us.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- You've met the Queen? - No, the table was for her staff.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43But several from the upper echelons do attend for the first dance.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47And I hope you won't be using Belgravia Catering again.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51The ham was fatty, I won't even comment on the fruit cake.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55I hope Lady Malcolm's speech doesn't go on like last year.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Isn't the evening to raise funds for the hospital?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Well, it doesn't mean we have to dwell on illness. On our night out?
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Especially as it'll be our last, if Hitler has his way.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Thank you, Mr Wetenshall.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27We are all grateful for that highly detailed and informative summary.
0:07:27 > 0:07:33However, as regards the refreshments,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I see no point inviting tenders from other companies.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38The food was perfectly acceptable
0:07:38 > 0:07:40and reasonably priced.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45After all, we must remember for whom we are catering.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49And now onto other business.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I'm afraid our cook will be disappointed.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57She felt last year's cold meats left a little to be desired.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Oh, I would have to agree.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Perhaps you'd like to take it up with Lady Malcolm.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05They shall answer directly to me.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I think not.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I don't think Mr Pritchard would approve
0:08:24 > 0:08:26of you working with your shirt off.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Not with impressionable young women around.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Best avert your gaze, then.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Now, where's the fun in that?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- That for me?- Mm-hmm.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45It's going to be so dark in here when all the windows are boarded up.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Yeah. You know, if things kick off,
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I'm not sticking around here to choke to death in some basement.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Well, I can't see we can do much about that.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- We could always get out of here. - And go where?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58How about America?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02America?! Yeah, that'd be nice.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05We could get ourselves a penthouse in a skyscraper
0:09:05 > 0:09:06and go dancing with Fred Astaire(!)
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Or we could get ourselves visas and passage on a boat
0:09:10 > 0:09:13and get as far away from this as possible.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17We couldn't do that.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Why not?
0:09:22 > 0:09:23BELL CHIMES
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Sir.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Right, thanks.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I thought it had been agreed that any negotiations
0:09:45 > 0:09:47with the Soviets needed careful handling.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Drax has been fully briefed.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51With the greatest respect, Foreign Secretary,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54sending Admiral Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax
0:09:54 > 0:09:56is as good as telling the Russians
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- we're not taking them seriously. - Nonsense.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01There are rumours Hitler's been making overtures to the Russians.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Well, good luck to him.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07If there's anyone Stalin hates more than us, it's the Germans.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13That's why they were weakened last time,
0:10:13 > 0:10:17because they were fighting on two fronts, the Eastern and the Western.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20It's not a mistake the Germans will want to make again.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Cos in the paper it says we might join up with the Russians.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26But do you think that might put Hitler off?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Stop him marching into Poland?
0:10:28 > 0:10:29It's possible.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33So the other representative's a lady's maid?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Full of airs and graces, no doubt.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39They always think they're better than the rest of us.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41What's Lady Malcolm like?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44She strikes me as a woman of indomitable spirit.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46(Battle-axe.)
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Oh, she didn't inherit her mother's looks, that's for sure.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Lillie Langtry was such a beauty.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55You'll be pleased to hear that they've secured the services
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- of Percy Chandler and his dance orchestra.- Oh!
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Does everyone have to dance?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Don't worry, I'll teach you some steps.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06And I'll be needing to look at your tunic later, Johnny.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Whoever wore it at the Dramatic Society
0:11:08 > 0:11:11was a bit more Friar Tuck than Robin Hood.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12GRAMOPHONE PLAYS
0:11:15 > 0:11:18You've heard they're sending Drax to Moscow?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Mmm. He of the unfeasibly long name?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25They might as well send the teaboy.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26I must admit,
0:11:26 > 0:11:30after what the Bolsheviks did to our Romanov relations,
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I do struggle somewhat to see them as appealing allies.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Appealing or not, they could well be our last chance.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45Marina says La Famille Holland has settled in nicely at Coppins.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Yes. Yes, thank you for that.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Agnes wanted the children out of harm's way.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I thought we could have waited, but...
0:11:55 > 0:12:00Hallam, at the risk of sounding insensitive...
0:12:00 > 0:12:03My wife is living at your house.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I think the time for delicacy has passed.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09I just wish to say that the most idyllic marriage
0:12:09 > 0:12:12will experience this rough weather from time to time.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14You will come through this.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Whatever else might happen in my life...
0:12:20 > 0:12:23..Agnes has always been its heart.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Everything I did, ultimately, I did it for her.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32And she for you. You're a perfectly matched pair.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34You always have been.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Has that really changed?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I feel as though I'm no longer...
0:12:45 > 0:12:47..necessary to her.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Hallam, dear boy...
0:12:50 > 0:12:51It's the truth.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56And if Agnes doesn't need me, then...
0:13:01 > 0:13:04..then I fear I may be quite lost.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I'll need to go along by the park, sir.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19There's a sandbagging lorry broken down on Piccadilly.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24It's for real this time, isn't it, sir?
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Sorry?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31All the preparations.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I'm afraid so, Spargo.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Difficult days, sir.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Yes, indeed.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15# I see your face in every flower
0:14:15 > 0:14:20# Your eyes in stars above
0:14:20 > 0:14:22# It's just the thought of you
0:14:22 > 0:14:28# The very thought of you, my love
0:14:33 > 0:14:35# It's just the thought of you... #
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I'm sorry, I assumed you'd gone up.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39For heaven's sake, Hallam,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41we can still talk to each other, you know.
0:14:41 > 0:14:47Of course, it's just... It's been a bloody day and I'm dead on my feet.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Has something happened?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Halifax is no longer going to Russia.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56He feels it's a waste of time.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Well, that seems remarkably short-sighted.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02It's like a bad joke. Our last hope of averting war
0:15:02 > 0:15:06and suddenly it's all riding on Admiral Acronym.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Is that his actual name? - Only within the Foreign Office.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12His given name is Admiral the Honourable
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Sir Reginald Aylmer Ranfurly Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Dear God!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Hence Admiral Acronym.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I feel as though it's all falling apart
0:15:33 > 0:15:35and there's not a damn thing I can do to stop it.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38But you're trying. You can't do any more than that.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46You're a good man. It's true, Hallam. You are.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47You must never feel otherwise.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Good men are few and far between.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Please, don't let me interrupt.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Oh, a fan of the detective genre, I see.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30An addict, I'm afraid.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Her Ladyship passes them on once she's read them,
0:16:33 > 0:16:37but unfortunately she can't resist telling one whodunnit.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40And is this up to Mrs Christie's usual standard?
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Well, I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't feature Monsieur Poirot,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48but there is a romantic interest.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Sounds most intriguing.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55The Metropolitan Police maintain that the Albert Hall
0:16:55 > 0:16:58does not fall within their jurisdiction.
0:16:58 > 0:17:04So the question remains, how do we deter this undesirable element?
0:17:07 > 0:17:13Lady Malcolm, I believe, the "gentlemen" in question
0:17:13 > 0:17:16are given to a certain flamboyance in dress
0:17:16 > 0:17:19as well as...erm...behaviour?
0:17:19 > 0:17:24Of course. We can hardly turn away everyone in a flamboyant ensemble.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27There'd be nobody left for the fancy dress parade.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29But one might establish certain restrictions,
0:17:29 > 0:17:33given their tendency towards...more feminine attire?
0:17:34 > 0:17:40I see. We could say no men impersonating...women.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42And the wording on the tickets
0:17:42 > 0:17:45could allow for further discretion on the door.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51You know, I think you're onto something. Well done, Mr Pritchard.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Of course, working on cruise ships,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56you must be no stranger to undesirable elements.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Excuse me. I wonder, Miss Whisset,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10would you care to join me for a cup of tea?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Oh, I'm sorry. I'm expected back. - I quite understand.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- I have to dress Lady Brackenbury for dinner.- Of course.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- Well, another time perhaps. - But I'd very much like to...
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I take my half-day on Wednesday.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Yes, so do I.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I was rather hoping to see the new Irene Dunne picture,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32the one on the cruise ship. But you've probably seen it.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34No.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37No. That would be very enjoyable.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Spargo, Harold Herbert.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- And are you married, Mr Spargo? - No, not as yet.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Well, let's leave it blank for now, then, shall we? Occupation?
0:19:05 > 0:19:10Chauffeur, with ten years' experience and a clean licence.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Well, we Americans never walk if we can take the car.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28CLATTERING
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Lady Persie?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I'm sorry, I was hoping to find matches.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53What, next to the petrol?
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Presumably not.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- If there's nothing else, I should... - Of course. You're busy. Everyone is.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Are you well, Spargo?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I'm doing all right.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Good, I'm glad.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Thanks for the matches.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I was thinking, possibly, a sculpture wave.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41That would work. And I could do the curls at the side.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Eunice, how about you?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I was thinking like Olivia de Havilland.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49You know, in the film, but maybe with some ringlets round the top.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- I could do a few soft waves around the face.- Keep it simple, I'd say.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55You don't want to look like a poodle.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Should I treat this one before it goes to the laundry service?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Looks like Sir Hallam had an accident
0:21:03 > 0:21:05with your raspberry basarah, Mrs Thackeray.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09The word is "bavarois", girl.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12That's not raspberry, it's lipstick.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16But how would he get lipstick down his..?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Just put it in the basket with the others
0:21:18 > 0:21:22and I'll write a note to give it special attention.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Lady Agnes usually favours crimson rose.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Now we know why Sir Hallam's been going to the Dorchester.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29How do you know he's been there?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Matchbooks in his pockets.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34The first rule of valeting, Johnny -
0:21:34 > 0:21:39the contents of a gentleman's pocket are not for public consumption.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42First Lady Agnes and her American...
0:21:42 > 0:21:43and now this.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46A most unhappy state of affairs.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48If Lady Agnes calls...
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I shall redirect her to the club.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Where are you going?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I'm dining out this evening.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Well, you could have said. I've been waiting.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Surely I'm not condemned to eat alone as well?
0:22:01 > 0:22:02I'm sorry.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Then stay for dinner.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I believe there's a roulade.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08I'm sorry, I can't.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23FILM: It's the tallest building in the world, you can't miss that.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26The nearest thing to heaven we have in New York.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Be sure you take the elevator.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37Well, until we meet again, take care of yourself.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46I still can't believe that you've actually met Cary Grant.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Oh, yes, he was quite a regular.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51He's from Bristol originally, you know.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Very partial to a ginger nut.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58Oh! It must be wonderful to have travelled so extensively.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Have you ever been on the Queen Mary?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Now, that's the one I'd love to see.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04She's certainly impressive.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07In fact, Mr Grant himself described her
0:23:07 > 0:23:09as the eighth wonder of the world.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Did he really?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19No, I shouldn't.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22A little harmless indulgence.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Of course, it should really be pink champagne,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32but as neither of us are drinkers...
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- When did you get all this? - When I went to the Embassy.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- You never said. - I wanted to work it all out first,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44make sure I knew what I was talking about. But, here, look.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47This is what it would cost to get us there,
0:23:47 > 0:23:51that's if we go third class. And there, that's our outgoings -
0:23:51 > 0:23:53everything we'd need to get ourselves set up.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I've some money put by, not enough, but with your savings as well...
0:23:56 > 0:23:57And I've been asking round.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00There's a footman at Lord Reed's has a cousin in California,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03he's got a limousine business. With Hollywood and studios,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05the woman in the Embassy reckoned
0:24:05 > 0:24:07there'd be enough work for both of us.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- Harry, slow down.- Think about it.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11That Rene Dupont you've been talking about -
0:24:11 > 0:24:13no reason that couldn't be you.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Except he's French. And bald.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I mean it, Bee.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19We're so much better than this.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Washing other people's smalls, being at their beck and call -
0:24:22 > 0:24:25we could be doing so much more. Over there, anything is possible.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30But we can't just go. It's crazy.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32No crazier than anything happening around here.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33From where I'm sitting,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36it's the sanest thing we could do. Think about it,
0:24:36 > 0:24:41about the life we could have there, the life we could give our kids.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Kids?- Well, yeah.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I mean, we'd have to get married first, of course.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Show me those sums again.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Forget the sums.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I know I'm pushing my luck, because...
0:25:15 > 0:25:20..frankly, I still can't believe you'd even look at a man like me.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22But the truth is...
0:25:23 > 0:25:26..I adore you, Beryl Ballard.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32And if you would do me the honour of becoming my wife,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I swear, I will take you to America...
0:25:37 > 0:25:40..and I'll give you everything you've ever wanted.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Well, when you put it like that...
0:25:53 > 0:25:56That's wonderful news. Really wonderful.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58You'll make such a beautiful bride.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- I think a toast is in order, don't you think, Mr Pritchard?- Absolutely.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Johnny, you'll find an open bottle of something quite acceptable
0:26:06 > 0:26:07just inside the pantry.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- Have you told Sir Hallam?- Not yet.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Well, once you're married, Beryl will have to give up her place here.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Actually, we won't be staying here.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- Oh.- We've decided to go to America.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Well, if that don't beat all!
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Oh, to be young and in love, eh, Mr Pritchard?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Yes, indeed.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Well, I'm happy for you, Spargo.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37But obviously some rearrangements will have to be made.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40The garage is hardly suitable for a married couple.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Actually, sir, me and Beryl, we're going to emigrate.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44To America.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48- You are?- Yes, sir.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Not till we're married, and I'll work out my full notice.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54I won't be leaving you in the lurch.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57I wondered if you might write me a letter of recommendation.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59I know you're well connected there.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- I'm sorry, I'm afraid that's out of the question.- Sir?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04For God's sake, man.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07War could be declared at any moment.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Every Englishman should be standing ready to defend his country.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15I realise that, sir, but the fact is I've got Beryl to think about now.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19All the more reason to stay here and do your bit.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24We've already made our decision.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Then I have to say, I'm disappointed in you, Spargo.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Well, then, maybe it's best if I give notice now, sir.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Yes, I think you probably should.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45I saw a woman with green nails the other day.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48I couldn't decide if it was striking or just plain hideous.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49What do you think?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Beryl?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Sorry, Lady Persie. I was miles away.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Mooning over a certain chauffeur, by any chance?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59No, my lady.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Come on. What's he done now?
0:28:01 > 0:28:06Well, actually, Harry's proposed.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Well, how terribly exciting. I'm assuming you said yes.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Yes, my lady.- Of course you did.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19There. All done.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22You must let me give you something.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23Oh, no, my lady...
0:28:23 > 0:28:28I insist. An engagement present. That's the done thing, isn't it?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Here, this would look wonderful on you.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- No, I couldn't, really. - Of course you can.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Save it for your honeymoon. Or not.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Entirely up to you.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42You can go.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53It's barely worn.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55And it's such a lovely colour.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57There, hop down.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04She said it was for my honeymoon.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09My mother gave me a chemise and a silver-backed hairbrush.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13I remember she told me to brush my hair out while I was waiting
0:29:13 > 0:29:15to stop the nerves.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21You were nervous?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Oh, yes, dear.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27Back then, girls had no idea what to expect.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32But these things work out in the end.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Persie?
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Beryl? What are you doing here?
0:30:56 > 0:31:00- Why are you wearing that thing? - It was a present.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- What?- An engagement present.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05I thought you'd like it. I thought...
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Bee...
0:31:07 > 0:31:11I'm sorry. You... you took me by surprise.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14You called me Persie.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18What's she doing giving you her cast-offs, anyway?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20That kind of thing, it doesn't suit you.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- It makes you look like a tart. - Harry?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I swear it meant nothing. It was over before you even came here.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- It was just, in the dark, wearing that robe...- You and her?
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- I'm sorry.- And you let me...
0:31:40 > 0:31:43I've spoken to her about you.
0:31:43 > 0:31:44And all the time...
0:31:44 > 0:31:48I know, I should have told you. I just didn't want you to think...
0:31:48 > 0:31:50It's not something I'm proud of.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53She must have been having a right old laugh about me.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55"Stupid Beryl, she's got no idea."
0:31:55 > 0:31:58It wasn't just her dressing gown that was her cast-off, was it?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- Beryl, please...- (I'm such a fool.)
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Here we are, making great plans and I don't know a thing about you.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Yes, you do. You know everything that matters about me.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09This matters, Harry!
0:32:09 > 0:32:11This matters.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- It matters a lot.- Beryl...
0:32:24 > 0:32:28SHE SOBS
0:32:38 > 0:32:39There's talk of her ladyship
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- going to stay with her son and his family in Wiltshire.- I see.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Oh, I'm sure it'll come to nothing. Lady B can't abide her son's wife.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49She calls her the Albatross.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Says she's both a burden and a curse!
0:32:51 > 0:32:56But if there's a war...
0:32:56 > 0:32:59The boys from my village, they had a cricket team.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Used to play every Sunday.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03When the last war started,
0:33:03 > 0:33:06they all joined up together, almost for a lark.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10By the end, the cricket pitch was so overgrown
0:33:10 > 0:33:14you could barely tell it was there.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18But their whites were still hanging on the pegs in the clubhouse.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21All those boys...
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Lads I'd known me whole life.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27And not one of them came home.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47Mrs Thackeray...
0:33:47 > 0:33:49I shall be inviting a friend to tea on Sunday.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Oh, yes?
0:33:53 > 0:33:57I wondered if I might prevail on you to make your famous ladyfingers.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59A special friend, is it?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01One might say that.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- The stables, Spargo.- My lady.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Apparently, congratulations are in order.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Apparently so.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Well, I'm terribly happy for you both.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29HORSE WHINNIES
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Oh, I do hope Beryl liked her present.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Leave her alone.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36I'm sorry?
0:34:36 > 0:34:38I won't have you playing games.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40I've no idea what you're talking about.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03BELL JINGLES
0:35:18 > 0:35:20TRAFFIC HUMS
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Another cup of tea, Miss Whisset?
0:35:27 > 0:35:30No, thank you, Mrs Thackeray. I've had quite sufficient.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35The ladyfingers were delicious.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40So, I understand you intend to emigrate once you're married?
0:35:40 > 0:35:41That's the plan.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43In theory.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Well, it's very exciting.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Mrs Thackeray, I was telling Miss Whisset...
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Spargo, I've been calling the garage.
0:36:05 > 0:36:11You don't have time for tea, man. I need the car, now!
0:36:11 > 0:36:15What's so urgent on a Sunday afternoon?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18RADIO ANNOUNCER: 'It has been confirmed that a non-aggression pact
0:36:18 > 0:36:20'between Germany and the Soviet Union
0:36:20 > 0:36:22'will be finalised before midnight tonight.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25'Herr Von Ribbentrop, the German Foreign Minister,
0:36:25 > 0:36:29'is en route to Moscow where he will meet Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov
0:36:29 > 0:36:30'to ratify the treaty.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33'Lord Halifax will shortly be addressing the cabinet...'
0:36:33 > 0:36:37I thought Fascists and Communists were meant to hate each other?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Your enemy's enemy can sometimes be your friend.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44So does this mean that it's definite? There's going to be a war?
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Looks that way.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Better polish my boots then.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55What about the ball, Mr P? Will they cancel it?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57No, of course not. Life has to go on.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00And dinner won't serve itself.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- You said the forms were all in order.- They were.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23But in light of recent events,
0:37:23 > 0:37:27we're prioritising applicants with specialist skills,
0:37:27 > 0:37:28or independent means.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33If you had more capital, or someone willing to act as a sponsor...
0:37:33 > 0:37:35We don't have that.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39'Could you speak to Sir Hallam again?'
0:37:39 > 0:37:41I'm not going to beg.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44If we can't get a sponsor, there's people I can talk to
0:37:44 > 0:37:47about loaning us the money.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50What if you only had to buy one ticket?
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Bee, if this is you calling it off, you'd better come out and say it.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55No, I'm not. I just...
0:37:57 > 0:38:00It's a lovely romantic dream.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02But what if that's all it is?
0:38:02 > 0:38:04No. I love you. I want to start a life with you.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07We can't build a marriage on dreams.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10My dad, he was a great romantic.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13When things got difficult, he looked elsewhere...
0:38:13 > 0:38:15I'd never do that.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Because I can't compete with the likes of Lady Persie.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Compete? Are you mad? You're worth a hundred of her.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23I wish to God I'd never laid eyes on her. She's poison.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27- You've no idea.- Didn't bother you at the time, did it?
0:38:27 > 0:38:31You listen to me. This has nothing to do with Lady Persie.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34We're getting married. And we're going to America.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Not without visas, we're not.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01Don't turn on the light.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10# The mere idea of you...#
0:39:20 > 0:39:23I want to see the moon.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26But there are too many clouds.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Always the way.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34# I see your face in every flower
0:39:34 > 0:39:38# Your eyes in skies above
0:39:38 > 0:39:42# It's just the thought of you
0:39:42 > 0:39:44# The very thought of you
0:39:44 > 0:39:47# My love. #
0:39:55 > 0:39:57I don't believe they were lovers.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Agnes wouldn't. She's straight as a die.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02I'm not sure it even matters.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Something changed.
0:40:05 > 0:40:06She's changed.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Well, we all do.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12The trouble is, in everyone else's heads, we stay the same.
0:40:12 > 0:40:13So we get stuck.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Is that how you feel?
0:40:15 > 0:40:17God, yes.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20To other people, I'll always be the brainless younger sister
0:40:20 > 0:40:22who fell in with the Nazis.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23Not to me.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26I think you're quite remarkable.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29I mean it.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32You're fearless, passionate.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37And there's an honesty and an integrity to the choices you make.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Even if they're occasionally misguided?
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Oh, they're usually completely misguided.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46But you're brave enough to risk everything to get what you want.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50It seems we both are.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18It does feel wrong somehow
0:41:18 > 0:41:21to be taken up with something so frivolous.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25One of the workmen was talking about enlisting before.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Said he'd rather get it over with than wait to be called up.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Our boy, Johnny, turned 20 in May.

0:42:50 > 0:42:52Look, Beryl.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58- From Sir Hallam. - Oooh, very pretty.
0:42:58 > 0:43:03Oh, I spy the hand of Mr Pritchard. Four bouquets.
0:43:03 > 0:43:08Hope the extra one didn't come out of Sir Hallam's pocket.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12I would never give a lady flowers bought by another man.
0:43:15 > 0:43:21I suppose cut flowers are a luxury we won't be seeing a lot more of.
0:43:24 > 0:43:25You may well be right.
0:43:27 > 0:43:32We should consider this our last hurrah, then, shouldn't we?
0:43:32 > 0:43:35Exactly so, Mrs Thack.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44I even took my dad's old medals down the pawn shop.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47- All they'd give me was a fiver. - How much are you short?
0:43:47 > 0:43:50- A lot.- Can't you just tell Beryl?
0:43:50 > 0:43:53I made her a promise.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56If I fall at the first hurdle, it proves I don't deserve her.
0:43:56 > 0:44:00- But if you can't raise the money? - I'll find it. Somehow.
0:44:00 > 0:44:04I mean it, Johnny. I'm not going to lose her.

0:44:18 > 0:44:20Mr Amanjit has gone to ask the drivers to wait.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22Where's Eunice?
0:44:22 > 0:44:27- Here, Mrs Thack.- Blimey! Nearly didn't recognise you there, Eunice.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29Thought it was Olivia de Havilland.
0:44:29 > 0:44:30You look smashing!
0:44:30 > 0:44:32Well, if we're all ready?
0:44:32 > 0:44:34You look lovely, too.
0:44:56 > 0:44:57Come on. Out!
0:44:57 > 0:44:59All right! I'm leaving!
0:44:59 > 0:45:01Get off me!
0:45:06 > 0:45:09Australia has, of course, been postponed.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12To leave England at this juncture would be unthinkable.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14And it's only going to get worse.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17The consensus is that we were caught napping.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19Yes.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22The German Ambassador's been crowing.
0:45:22 > 0:45:27He's taken to referring to Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax
0:45:27 > 0:45:28as "Admiral Acronym".
0:45:30 > 0:45:32Where did he get that from?
0:45:32 > 0:45:34The Germans have ears everywhere.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36One of our chaps at the Foreign Office
0:45:36 > 0:45:38must have been less than discreet.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41My housekeeper has influenza
0:45:41 > 0:45:43so I've been thrown upon the mercy of the committee.

0:46:12 > 0:46:13Ooh, stop.

0:46:16 > 0:46:20Well, I preferred it when you and I had the floor to ourselves.

0:46:58 > 0:47:00There you are, dear boy.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04You know, I have to say, I'm starting rather to enjoy myself.
0:47:04 > 0:47:08There's something deliciously low about a servants' ball.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11I vote we get absolutely steaming drunk and go native.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13I should really get back, sir.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15I just wanted to ask...
0:47:15 > 0:47:18Before, when you talked about Admiral Acronym...
0:47:18 > 0:47:22No, no, no, Hallam. Tonight is not for politics.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24Come the dawn, there shall be time for little else.
0:47:24 > 0:47:28But tonight, "Let's eat and drink for tomorrow we die".
0:47:28 > 0:47:30And I for one feel the need for a party.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35Well, she might have worn more appropriate underthings.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37She's supposed to be the Queen.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39I couldn't agree more.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43- I hope you're all having a pleasant...- Here we go.
0:47:43 > 0:47:44Lemonade for you, Mr P.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47Sorry, Mrs Thack, they didn't have any Dubonnet
0:47:47 > 0:47:49- so I brought you a vermouth. - How very remiss of them.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52No bar is fully stocked without Dubonnet.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55But if they have vermouth, you should have a Manhattan.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58Oh, there's wine, beer and spirits, sir.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00They're not providing cocktails.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03Well, that is an outrage.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06Any civilised party requires cocktails.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Come, Mrs Thackeray,
0:48:09 > 0:48:13I shall show the bartender how to mix you a Manhattan.

0:48:27 > 0:48:30SHE LAUGHS
0:48:30 > 0:48:34It all came about because he heard I liked Dubonnet,
0:48:34 > 0:48:36just like our dear Queen.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39I mean, I don't usually indulge in spirits,
0:48:39 > 0:48:42but when His Royal Highness offers one a cocktail
0:48:42 > 0:48:43one can hardly refuse.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45And he has that...
0:48:45 > 0:48:50unmistakeable dignity that goes with breeding.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52He's quite a mover too.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59ALL: Hoy!
0:49:04 > 0:49:07Hallam, my dear friend,
0:49:07 > 0:49:10I must ask you to furnish me with a cigarette forthwith.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Oh, buck up, old chap.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17- I'm fine.- You're very far from fine.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19Oh, just go to her, will you?
0:49:19 > 0:49:22Go to her and whatever either of you has done,
0:49:22 > 0:49:25take her in your arms and tell her all is forgiven.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28- What? No...- You love Agnes.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31What's more, you need her. Now more than ever.
0:49:31 > 0:49:32I beg of you, Hallam.
0:49:32 > 0:49:36If any two people were meant to be together, then you are they.
0:49:36 > 0:49:39For God's sake, will you mind your own damn business!
0:49:50 > 0:49:52Sir Hallam. Mind if I have a word?
0:49:52 > 0:49:53Spargo? What do you want?
0:49:53 > 0:49:56I thought you might've reconsidered.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59- I think I made myself perfectly clear.- You did, sir.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01But now things have changed a bit.
0:50:01 > 0:50:02What things?
0:50:03 > 0:50:04I need capital.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08I need a lump sum to get us started up.
0:50:08 > 0:50:09Is this a joke?
0:50:09 > 0:50:12No, sir. I need the money
0:50:12 > 0:50:15and if you won't give it to me, I'll have to talk to Lady Agnes.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17About you and Lady Persie, that is.
0:50:20 > 0:50:24- What exactly are you insinuating? - Not insinuating anything, sir.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26What the two of you do in hotel rooms in the afternoon
0:50:26 > 0:50:29is your business, but I doubt Lady Agnes will see it that way.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31I should thrash you for that!
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Yes, you probably should.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36If you think I am giving you a single penny...
0:50:36 > 0:50:37Come on, sir!
0:50:38 > 0:50:41You love your wife, you love her.
0:50:41 > 0:50:43You know what a scandal would do to your family.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Your own sister-in-law.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48You have to admit, that is pretty low.
0:50:51 > 0:50:54- What do you want?- 100 guineas.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56- You must be mad. - That's how much I need.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58- For now.- 100 guineas, I go to America,
0:50:58 > 0:51:01and we never talk about it again.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03The choice is yours.
0:51:08 > 0:51:09You'll have your money.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13You'll have it.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16HE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:51:24 > 0:51:26Come with me. Come with me.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Harry! Stop...
0:51:28 > 0:51:30- I've got the money.- What?
0:51:30 > 0:51:33- 100 guineas. Enough to set us up with some to spare.- How?
0:51:33 > 0:51:35It doesn't matter. I said I would and I have
0:51:35 > 0:51:38because you can trust me, Bee. I'm not going to let you down.
0:51:38 > 0:51:40100 guineas?
0:51:42 > 0:51:44So we're going to America?
0:51:50 > 0:51:53Things have turned rather ugly at the second floor buffet.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55I will be back presently.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59But perhaps when I return,
0:51:59 > 0:52:01we could take that walk?
0:52:04 > 0:52:08He's one in a million, is our Mr Pritchard.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10He's certainly very capable.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13You know, he delivered her ladyship's baby
0:52:13 > 0:52:16single-handed.
0:52:16 > 0:52:20Come from his time on the ambulances in the last war.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22Course, to my mind,
0:52:22 > 0:52:26he should've been off fighting with the rest of them. Oh, well.
0:52:26 > 0:52:30Not a lot to be gained by dwelling on the past, now, is there?
0:52:31 > 0:52:35He's just lucky you're not one to hold it against him.
0:52:41 > 0:52:45It must have been the heat. One minute I was fine, the next...
0:52:45 > 0:52:47Yes, that was it, Mrs Thack. The heat.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49I could always come back with you.
0:52:49 > 0:52:54Oh, give over, Johnny. They don't want you being a giddy gooseberry.
0:52:54 > 0:52:57A wonderful event, Mr Pritchard. You must be very proud.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05So.
0:53:05 > 0:53:06Shall we walk a little?
0:53:20 > 0:53:22Violet...
0:53:22 > 0:53:23These past few weeks
0:53:23 > 0:53:27have been amongst the happiest I have ever known.
0:53:27 > 0:53:31Indeed, my feelings for you have taken me quite by surprise.
0:53:31 > 0:53:33I have felt the same way.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38Warwick, I have to ask...
0:53:38 > 0:53:41When you said you worked on the ambulances during the war,
0:53:41 > 0:53:46I assumed you'd been found unfit and I didn't wish to pry.
0:53:46 > 0:53:47Was that not the case?
0:53:50 > 0:53:53No. That wasn't the case.
0:53:53 > 0:53:55The truth is,
0:53:55 > 0:53:59I chose to work on the ambulances as a matter of conscience.
0:54:02 > 0:54:03So you chose not to fight?
0:54:06 > 0:54:08I felt a strong moral compunction
0:54:08 > 0:54:12to oppose the use of violence against my fellow man.
0:54:12 > 0:54:16But what about your fellow countrymen?
0:54:16 > 0:54:19Those who were dying in their thousands?
0:54:19 > 0:54:24Did you not feel a moral compunction towards them?
0:54:24 > 0:54:27It was not an easy decision.
0:54:27 > 0:54:29Nor one I arrived at lightly.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32But I had to do what I believed in.
0:54:33 > 0:54:37You yourself have talked about the meaningless loss of life,
0:54:37 > 0:54:39all those young men you knew who never returned...
0:54:39 > 0:54:42I never said it was meaningless.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45Those boys were young and scared
0:54:45 > 0:54:49but they did their duty for the greater good.
0:54:49 > 0:54:50As my father said,
0:54:50 > 0:54:55the way to honour their sacrifice is never to think it wasn't worth it.
0:54:55 > 0:54:59We might not be here today if it wasn't for their bravery.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01But you...
0:55:02 > 0:55:03I...
0:55:06 > 0:55:08I'm so sorry, Warwick.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12I feel I no longer know you.
0:55:12 > 0:55:14Violet, please.
0:55:14 > 0:55:16Nothing has changed.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18I'm afraid it has.
0:55:20 > 0:55:22You're not the man I thought you were.
