If it isn't Sir Richard Hawkins. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
Thieving English privateer and pain in the bum hole. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
Is that you, Phil? | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
King Phil...ip. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
I thought so. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
-You don't mind if I...? -Oh, no, no, no, no. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
-You carry on. Fill your boots. -That's very decent of you. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
Hm-mm-mm. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Love to stop for a portrait, but, er...must dash. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
Do look me up if ever one of your Armadas pans out | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
and I'll take you out in London. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
-My treat. -I'll be sure to pop it in the diary. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
You seem very chipper for someone being robbed. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
No, it's just I'm a... a little bit excited. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
You see, I'm interested to see how you're going to get out of this one. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
HE GASPS | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
It's a round room, no corners, two exits. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
Not exactly holding all the cards there, Phil. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
Have you forgotten the first rule of espionage? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
No. Always hide in plain sight. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
SINGSONG VOICE: Mr Hawkins. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |

GUARD: Take him. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
Get him up! | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
I sail under the sovereign protection of Queen Elizabeth | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
and she will not stand for this! | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
Good. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
I'm counting on it. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:06 | |

Where is she? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
-Undressing. What is it? -King Philip II of Spain. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
It would seem... | 0:04:41 | 0:04:42 | |
..he's captured Sir Richard. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:45 | |
SHE GASPS | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
-QUEEN ELIZABETH: -Hawkins? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
I agree, Your Majesty, | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Hawkins is a most valuable asset | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
and we all want him back out there robbing the Spanishes. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
But diplomacy is our only option. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
-A summit with King Philip. -LADIES-IN-WAITING: Ooh! | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
As your father, King Henry, always said, | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
And a lot of stuff about women that I never really... | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
-Will there be dancing? -What about a joust? | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
-Kiss chase. -Sex wrestling. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
-Perhaps a nice play. -I hardly think we need to... | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
-QUEEN ELIZABETH: -Wait. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
Who said...a play? | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |

It is you. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:13 | |
Maybe you're destined for something different. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
Like what? | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
-Erm... -Er... | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
-Cooking. -Anyway, we'd better... | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
..shuffle off. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
Sorry, Bill. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:26 | |
Sorry, Bill. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
I thought his name was Phil. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
I knew something like this was going to happen. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
-Talent jealousy. -You'll get over that. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
Not me. Them. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:51 | |
Well, I will call in at the butcher's tomorrow | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
and see if he still needs someone in the afternoons. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
Whoa, Anne. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
I'm not going to go and work in some butcher's. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
But you said if things didn't work out with the band, you'd get a proper job. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
-You promised. -I know. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
And I have. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:07 | |
I've written a great work for the stage. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
-What? -I'm a writer now. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
-Oh, my God. -What? | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
Bill, you're not a writer. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
-What's this, then? Scottish mist? -Scotch mist. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
This is why you're not a writer. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
Oh! It's just another fad, Bill. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
Just like the acting, the band, the interpretive dance. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. This is different. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
It's like the words flow through me. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
Like I'm the east and they're the sun. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
-Well, not that, but... -Bill... | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
Writing scripts isn't a job, not in Stratford. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
You need theatres and patrons and... | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
-No. -Just think about it. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:51 | |
There is no way that you are moving our entire family | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
-down to that bloody London! -..a talented young writer in London. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
You want to go to London? You go to London. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
But me and the kids are not going with you. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
You're 30 years old. It's time you grew up. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
-What, and give up my dreams? -They're just dreams. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
Oh! | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
Well...we'll see who the dreamer is, sweetheart. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:18 | |
That London is not going to know what hit it. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
People will remember the name Shakespeare... | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
20 years from now! | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
To each their dreams. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
-Earl of Essex. -Of course, sir. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:20 | |
-Earl of Essex! -GATEKEEPER: -Earl of Essex! | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
-Oxford. -Of course, sir. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
-Earl of Oxford! -Earl of O! | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
-Croydon. -Of course, sir. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:27 | |
Straight out the front gate, down the road towards Penge. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
Now, you need to veer left when you hit a stream. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
No, I don't want to go to Croydon. I am Croydon. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
The Earl of Croydon. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
-Barry. -Yeah? | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
-You got a Croydon down there? -I was here yesterday. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
-All right. -Er... Got a Chester. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
Cornwall? | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
-Got a Crawley. -Yes, that's me. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
-But you just said Croydon. -There is no Earl of Crawley. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
That's me. Your list is wrong. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
We've gotta go by the list, sir. A lot of Catholics about, you see. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
You can't just let anybody in. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
But he just... | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
Ah. Southampton, would you please tell these idiots who I am? | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
-Yes, Crawley, isn't it? -CHUCKLES | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
-Earl of Crawley. -Curly Wurly. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
So no jokes at all as such. We go out and do funny observations. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:20 | |
I'd stick to the juggling. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
I pulled his finger. Turned out he had dysentery. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
RAUCOUS LAUGHTER | 0:11:28 | 0:11:29 | |
Ha, ha, ha. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
-Anyone seen a spare chair or...? -Drake, darling. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
Are you still harping on about your little pleasure cruise? | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
-OTHERS: -Oooh! -Oooh-hoo-hoo-hoo! | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
You're still burning your way through all your daddy's hard-earned money? | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
LAUGHTER Oooh-hoo-hoo! | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
I'm trying, love. Investing in the arts now. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
It's like pouring it down a privy. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
GUFFAWS | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
Oh, and have you erm...? | 0:11:53 | 0:11:54 | |
Oh, yes. Three tankards of mead and just a bowl of those crispy pork things. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
-I'm the Earl of Croy... -Now, get this. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
-Go on, the one about the sailor. -Oh! | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
Now, this... I warn you, you'll have to mark this one "Not safe for work." | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
-LAUGHTER -No, seriously. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:07 | |
He calls it an apartment, but it's just a hut with... | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
Hang on. LIVELY TUNE FROM PALACE | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
I love this one. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
LAUGHTER AND CHATTER | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
Is it true as well that during the battle of the Armada | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
they slept between 2pm and 5pm? | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
Yeah, mostly. We'd stop fighting and they'd go and have a lie down | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
or go and chuck darts at a board. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
Hey, where's our drinks? | 0:12:35 | 0:12:36 | |
-Where are our drinks? -I am the Earl of Croydon. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
I fetch drinks for no man. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
-Thank you. -You're welcome. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:43 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
-Here's your tip. -Oh. "Ha-ha-ha!" | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
Oh, hilarious. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:50 | |
It's a jesters' convention. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
"Ooh, I sailed around the world. Look at me, everyone. Ooh!" | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
You're no better than me! | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
-I do stuff. -Like what, exactly? | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
Well, I do... er... | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
..juggling. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |

Writering? Writering. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
I am a writer. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
-No, you're not, darling. -How dare you! | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
I'm the finest writer in all of England! | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
Are you, now? | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
Who is it? | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
Indeed I am, Your Majesty. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
Why, how very fortuitous, Lord... | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
Ooh, I want to say Crawley. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
Croydon, Your Majesty. The Earl of Croydon. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
Crawley is down towards Horsham. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
Croydon is...um... | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
Do you know Penge at all? | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
I don't care. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
There is to be a diplomatic summit with our beloved cousin, | 0:14:05 | 0:14:11 | |

..than a demonstration of our great nation's... | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
..utter dominance in the arts? | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
A play penned by one of my very own courtiers. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:39 | |
And we shall be most pleased to hear this play of yours. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
Because you know what happens if we're displeased. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:49 | |

That's me. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:57 | |
"Queen Elizabeth cordially invites you to diplomatic talks in London | 0:15:57 | 0:16:02 | |
"to discuss the capture of her most loyal subject, Sir Richard Hawkins." | 0:16:02 | 0:16:07 | |
Actually, I just need to... | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
I told you she would take the bait. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
The rabbit is in the snare. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
Your Majesty... | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
the specialists you requested. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |

-Why are you here again? -Sorry. Um... | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
I just need to take food orders for the banquet. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
Just so we've got some rough numbers on the mains. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
Whatever is fine. I don't care. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
Er... I can't eat shellfish. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
-What? -Well, prawns are fine. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
But... I have to avoid the bivalves. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
What... What, what? | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
Bivalves. You know, er... mussels, | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
scallops, oysters and... | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
Oh, what is the one which er...stick out of the sand? | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
-Razor clams. -Razor clam! | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
Ai, ai, ai. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
And I can't do nuts. | 0:17:58 | 0:17:59 | |
If I even eat a small, itty-bitty nut, | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
my throat, it expands, it swells like a man's thing. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
-And langoustine. -You had that thing with... | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
-No-one's going to force you to eat nuts. -OK, you know what? Whatever. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
-Oh... -Just go now. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
Seriously? | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
We have been presented with a unique opportunity | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
to rid the world of this Protestant cow, | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
to strike from within her royal court. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
This is our Trojan horse. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
It doesn't look like a horse. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
Well, it's not an actual horse. You know, it's a...a metaphor. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
Read a book. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
It's a hiding place from which a secret attack can be sprung. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
Gentlemen, who would like to kill a queen? | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
-ALL: Yes! -Yes, please! | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
Yes! | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
Yes! | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
KNIFE CLATTERS | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
HE GRUNTS | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
OK, what is this? Some kind of veneer? | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
You need a softer wood, like a balsa, something like that. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
-Or do the chair. -Stick it in the chair maybe. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
-Try the chair. -You'll ruin the chair. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
You been before? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
-No, first time. -Oooh. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
It's nice. You'll like it. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
-Don't steal anything. -Yeah. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
CHATTER | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
-BOY: -Wait for me. -SECOND BOY: This way. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
-Here! -Tom! | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
London. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
WOMAN CHATTING | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
-Yeah, well, it's mostly pork. -Right. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
-When you say mostly pork, what? -Well, mostly pork and other stuff. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
-It doesn't matter. It's only for him. -Yeah. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
Right. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
-EARL OF CROYDON: -Ian! | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
Ian! | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
My Lord. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:12 | |
Why did you let me get drunk? | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
-I wasn't there. -Exactly. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
Look what happened. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
Now I have to write this incredible play | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
or some power-crazed lunatic's going to chop my head off. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
-Well, report him to the Queen. -I'm talking about the Queen. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
And stop leaving me multiple chamber pots. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
It's very confusing. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
-Still... -HE SIGHS | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
I suppose writing a play can't be that hard, can it? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
I mean, it's just... | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
talking, isn't it, but... written down. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
HE SNIFFS | 0:21:42 | 0:21:43 | |
"Hello. I'm a man in a play." | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
"Hello. I'm a woman in a play." | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
Oh, this is easy. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
-Ian? -Hm? | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
Go out and fetch me paper and quills. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
I'm going to put Croydon on the map. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
Good day to you, sir. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
I am a dramatist from a distant vale | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
who comes to London seeking fame and fortune. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
Would you be so kind as to point me in the direction | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
of the city's most reputable theatre? | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
Ha. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:25 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
HE COUGHS | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
The theatres are closed, my friend. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
Plague. It's killing the art. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
And people. I heard. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
It's taken my play. It might as well have its audience. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
You're a writer? | 0:22:40 | 0:22:41 | |
I'm a writer too. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
STOOL SCRAPES ON FLOOR | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
Shakespeare. Bill Shakespeare. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
Christopher Marlowe. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:52 | |
So, what sort of stuff do you write, Chris? | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
Drama, tragedies, tales of betrayal and revenge. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
Frailties of the human condition. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
-You? -Bum jokes. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
People hit by sticks. Comedy. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
-Comedy? -You know, like erm... | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
SNORING | 0:23:08 | 0:23:09 | |
I see your mum's in. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
That's not my mother. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
That's not what your sister told me. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
COUGHING | 0:23:15 | 0:23:16 | |
-That's a man. -That's what makes it funny. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
-You're not from London, are you, Bill? -No, Stratford. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
Just came down here to try and get this baby into a theatre or... | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
Look, I'm the most successful playwright in London | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
and I can't even buy a house without borrowing money. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
I mean, imagine that. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
If I can't make a living from the theatre, | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
I hardly see the works of Shakespeare | 0:23:38 | 0:23:39 | |
taking the world by storm. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:40 | |
I see. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
-Do you act? -Well, I've...trodded the boards. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:48 | |
I'm thinking about going for this thing. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
It's not much, but it's money. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
It's a two-hander, so... if you want to come along... | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
Thank you. | 0:23:58 | 0:23:59 | |
Don't thank me. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:02 | |
Thank your mother who is dead. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
-What? -Not like that, then? | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
Oh, no. No, never like that. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
Right. Interesting. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
So, this thing, is it a meaty role? | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT | 0:24:25 | 0:24:26 | |
Not exactly. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:27 | |
-Vegetables! -Vegetables. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
Madam, why not try some vegetables with your meat? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
Try some vegetables? They're really good for you. And they help you poo. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
Get 'em right down. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
Are you cold? | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
I'm cold. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:45 | |
-SHE SQUEALS -Sssh. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
-Walsingham. I thought you were dead. -No, just in deep cover. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:56 | |
-But it was an open casket. -Yeah, it was very deep. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
Listen, Molly... I need some information. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
Is it true, about this summit? | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
Oh, yes, here at the palace on the 7th. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
-I hear the Spanish are hunky. -Well, you hear wrong! | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
Catholics can't put on muscle mass because God hates them. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |
They've no muscle and no backbone, like snakes. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:22 | |
Surely snakes are all backbone. No? | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
-Well, like worms, then. -Oh, no, worms are all muscle. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
Someone knows a lot about Catholics. No, no, just... garden creatures. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:32 | |
Hm... One can't be too careful, Molly. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
They're everywhere, you know. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:38 | |
The Catholic threat may be sleeping now, | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
but it will soon awaken like a... | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
-Bear? -Yes. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
Good. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
Like a non-muscular, spineless bear! | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
SHE SQUEALS | 0:25:52 | 0:25:54 | |
-Uh... False alarm. -So we're safe, then? | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
Safe? Ha! | 0:25:59 | 0:26:00 | |
If the Catholics are so weak and spineless... | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
What they lack in muscular, skeletal integrity, | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
they more than make up for in cunning. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
They'll be hatching plots as we speak. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
Well, should I tell the old... | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
-Majesty? -No. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
I will be her eyes and ears and mouth. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
No, not mouth. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:20 | |
Just tell her Sir Francis Walsingham is back and I remain, as always, | 0:26:20 | 0:26:26 | |
her most faithful servant. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
HE FARTS | 0:26:34 | 0:26:35 | |
PLOP! | 0:26:35 | 0:26:36 | |
KING PHILIP: We are close. Disguises on. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
-Boss. -What is it? | 0:26:54 | 0:26:55 | |
I don't understand. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
If you have been invited to England, | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
why do we have to sneak ashore like this? | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
Because, Juan, one - | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
the invitation was for me and my closest advisors, | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
not a group of trained assassins. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
They were very clear about that. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
And two, Juan - an assassination like this, | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
it takes time and planning. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
People don't just kill themselves. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:21 | |
My cousin did. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
Sleep well this night, dear Queen. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
Soon this land shall be mine. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
HE SPITS | 0:27:47 | 0:27:48 | |
Boss, I have some bad news. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
We forgot the horse. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
Gentlemen, good evening. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
And welcome...to England. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
If you'd just like to follow me up to Customs, | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
we'll get you checked in, OK? | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
You land us here? I said clandestine. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
I don't know what that means. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
One donkey, straw, made thereof. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
All...righty, Richard. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
If you'd like to shimmy that one along and pop the next one sur la table. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:38 | |
Strapping lads, like my sons would have been. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:41 | |
The plague. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:43 | |
Let's have a look. What have we got here? | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
OK. Ours is not to judge prior... | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
What's this? | 0:28:55 | 0:28:57 | |
-It's for making peo... -Gazpacho. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:00 | |
It's for making gazpacho. It's a...cold soup. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:04 | |
It's very nice. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:06 | |
WHIRS | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
RATTLES AND SQUEAKS | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
Well, everything seems to be in order. Enjoy your stay. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
Psst. Sir. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:24 | |
-King Philip II of Spain? -Yes. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
Oh. Very clever. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
SHOUTING | 0:29:40 | 0:29:42 | |
GULLS CRY | 0:29:44 | 0:29:46 | |
-Morning. -Walsingham. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
-I thought you were dead. -Don't believe everything you read. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
-I can't read. -Good. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:08 | |
-Any survivors? -No, sir. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:12 | |
Whoever it was did a thorough job. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:14 | |
HE SNIFFS | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
We did get one of theirs, sir. No idea who they are. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
Catholics. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:29 | |
The game is afoot. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:31 | |
BELL TOLLS | 0:30:31 | 0:30:33 | |
This is heavy. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:35 | |
Wait. That might be our man. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
The weather in London is unseasonably cold for this time of year. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:54 | |
But the mynah bird must wait until winter before its song can be heard. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:59 | |
What the hell does that mean? | 0:31:01 | 0:31:03 | |
Honestly, you try and start a conversation with someone... | 0:31:03 | 0:31:05 | |
The weather in London is unseasonably cold for the time of year. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:13 | |
-Are you the secret Catholic contact? -Er... Yes. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
No. Um... | 0:31:16 | 0:31:17 | |
-Yes. -OK, let's go. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:21 | |
-Right, yes. This way, Your Majesty. -Come. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:23 | |
Ow. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:26 | |
You're kidding, right? | 0:31:37 | 0:31:39 | |
This is the biggest Protestant church in England. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:41 | |
Last place you'd look for a Catholic hideout, Your Majesty, yes. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:46 | |
-Hide in plain sight. -Ha-ha. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:49 | |
Yes, I like this guy. He's got cojones. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:52 | |
Come along, come along. This way. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:01 | |
-Sorry. -Sssh. OVERLAPPING CHATTER | 0:32:01 | 0:32:03 | |

BILL: My sweet angel. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:51 | |
Greetings from that London. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:53 | |
I am delighted to report that despite your slight doubts, | 0:32:53 | 0:32:57 | |
my dreams of success are coming to fruition. | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
Sorry. Trousers stolen in the night. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:03 | |
Very much not my fault. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:06 | |
I have secured a challenging role performing daily | 0:33:06 | 0:33:09 | |
with renowned dramatist Christopher Marlowe. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:12 | |
I greatly regret the terms on which we parted | 0:33:12 | 0:33:15 | |
and look forward to your reply, | 0:33:15 | 0:33:16 | |
as reading it would provide a welcome distraction | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
from my tireless schedule of rehearsals, performances and... | 0:33:19 | 0:33:23 | |
Oh, no. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:25 | |
-CHILDREN: -Daddy! | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |
-Daddy! -Hey, guys! | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:33:31 | 0:33:33 | |
-Wh... What are you doing here? -I brought the kids to see Daddy. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:37 | |
-And what's Daddy dressed as? -CHILDREN: -A tomato. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:40 | |
Mm-hm. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:42 | |
And can we think of any plays that a tomato might be in? | 0:33:42 | 0:33:44 | |
-Gosh, well, there's... -Look, kids. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:48 | |
-A human statue. -No, he's... dead. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
Oh, look. A juggler. Go and have a look. Go on. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:55 | |
-Wow. -So this is it, is it? | 0:33:56 | 0:33:59 | |
-This is your big, challenging role? -OK, I admit I'm not on the stage yet. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:04 | |
But I'm making inroads. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:06 | |
If I work really hard, I could be the next Christopher Marlowe. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
Oh, this is Christopher Marlowe. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
Chris, Anne. Anne, Chris. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
-Hello. -I'm staying with Aunt Jane. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:17 | |
Have them back by three. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
Anne, please, give me a chance. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
-CROYDON: -Enter our hero. Let's call him Hero. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:27 | |
Erm... Blah, blah, blah... | 0:34:27 | 0:34:29 | |
Oh, God. Writing's hard. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:31 | |
That poor sexy woman. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:41 | |
SCRAPING | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:34:49 | 0:34:51 | |
Hello, my dear. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:53 | |
Going somewhere? | 0:34:53 | 0:34:55 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:34:55 | 0:34:57 | |
Here, look. Ring and ting. | 0:34:57 | 0:34:58 | |
-Get away from me! -Unhand that beautiful woman, sir! | 0:34:58 | 0:35:03 | |
What's the matter with you? Cowards? | 0:35:04 | 0:35:07 | |
Get him. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:09 | |
-THEY LAUGH -Yeah. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:12 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:35:13 | 0:35:15 | |
-THEY CRY OUT ANNE: -Aaaah! | 0:35:15 | 0:35:17 | |
KNIFE CLATTERS | 0:35:21 | 0:35:22 | |
Oh. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:24 | |
Bit embarrassing. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:27 | |
HE WHIMPERS | 0:35:27 | 0:35:29 | |
Let that be a lesson to you. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:36 | |
Good God. Are you all right? | 0:35:38 | 0:35:40 | |
It's quite hard to tell. I mean, it's deep, but it hasn't gone... | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |
-Oh, right. -Thank you. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:45 | |
Quickly. Poor people are easily startled, but they'll soon be back. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:48 | |
And in greater numbers. Come. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
Aaargh! | 0:35:51 | 0:35:53 | |
-Don't dawdle, Ian. -I'll be right with you. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:57 | |
-HE GROANS -He's had lunch. | 0:35:57 | 0:35:59 | |
And I take his throat out. Nnnyh! | 0:35:59 | 0:36:00 | |
And the blood is... | 0:36:00 | 0:36:03 | |
It's everywhere. It's on the walls, it's on the architraves, on the rugs. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
And the Queen, she tries to get away, | 0:36:06 | 0:36:08 | |
but she can't run because she's slipping in all of the blood. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:10 | |
So I grab her by the hair and I pull her round to look at me | 0:36:10 | 0:36:13 | |
and I say, "Knock, knock! Lope's here!" | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
And she's like, "Oh, no!" And I go, "Shut up!" | 0:36:16 | 0:36:19 | |
And I put my thumbs right into her eyes and when I let go, | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
the eyes, they plop out and drop down onto the cheeks. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:24 | |
And so I pick up the eyes and I look at them with my eyes and I go, | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
"Ahh! Do you like that, lady, huh? Do you like that?" | 0:36:27 | 0:36:31 | |
-OK. -Yeah. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:39 | |
Thank you for that, Lope. It's very nice. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:44 | |
-Let's call that plan J. Hm? -Plan J. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:49 | |
OK. | 0:36:49 | 0:36:51 | |
Sorry. Do you want to...? | 0:36:54 | 0:36:56 | |
-Oh. -Hm. | 0:36:56 | 0:36:58 | |
The problem with it is, because of the unfortunate incident on the beach... | 0:36:59 | 0:37:03 | |
..the authorities are now on high alert. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:06 | |
The issue is now not how we kill the Queen | 0:37:06 | 0:37:09 | |
but getting close enough to do it. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:12 | |
Boss, I have an idea. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:13 | |
Does it involve you dressing up as a lady? | 0:37:13 | 0:37:16 | |
-Well, yes. -OK, any other ideas in the room? | 0:37:17 | 0:37:19 | |
No, no, please, please. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:21 | |
Listen. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:23 | |
We need to find a way to get us all inside the palace without raising suspicion. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:27 | |
The play's the thing. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:30 | |
Yes, that's it. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:34 | |
MURMURING | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
We must find this Earl of Croydon... | 0:37:40 | 0:37:44 | |
for his play is our Trojan horse. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:48 | |
Any questions? | 0:37:48 | 0:37:50 | |
Please come in, relax. Welcome to my humble abode. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:59 | |
-I really don't think this is necessary. -No, no, it's no trouble at all. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:03 | |
-You're in deep shock. -Actually, I don't think I am. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
Yeah, that's one of the symptoms. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:08 | |
Ian, would you fetch the lady some brandy, please? | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
-Brandy. -And nibbles. Fetch some nibbles. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:13 | |
Oh. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:15 | |
So... | 0:38:15 | 0:38:17 | |
-Erm... Is there somewhere I could...? -Oh, yes, of course. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:21 | |
Just up the stairs, second on the left. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
HE GROWLS | 0:38:25 | 0:38:26 | |
HE GASPS | 0:38:34 | 0:38:36 | |
Ian, whoever that is, I'm out! | 0:38:40 | 0:38:42 | |
Gentlemen. How may I... | 0:38:43 | 0:38:46 | |
Right. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:47 | |
Seriously, Lope, what is wrong with you? Hm? | 0:38:47 | 0:38:50 | |
-What? -Is this about your dad? | 0:38:50 | 0:38:52 | |
-Ian, who was it? -Some handsome men. | 0:38:55 | 0:38:57 | |
Who the hell are you? | 0:39:01 | 0:39:03 | |
HE GASPS | 0:39:04 | 0:39:05 | |
King Philip II of Spain. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:07 | |
Oh. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:09 | |
Oh, God. Not now. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:11 | |
-Anyway, how are you? -Don't worry. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:19 | |
If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead already. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:21 | |
What is this, some sort of Catholic plot? | 0:39:21 | 0:39:24 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
A Catholic plot? LAUGHTER CONTINUES | 0:39:26 | 0:39:29 | |
No, no, no. I assure you, there is no conspiracy here. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:33 | |
No, no, no. It's just that things between me and your beautiful Queen... | 0:39:33 | 0:39:37 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:39:37 | 0:39:39 | |
..they have been a little bit...difficult. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
So, I was thinking. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:48 | |
How can I demonstrate that our two nations | 0:39:48 | 0:39:51 | |
can work together, in harmony? | 0:39:51 | 0:39:54 | |
A half-and-half flag cake? | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
It's a cake, obviously. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:03 | |
Half of it looks like the English flag. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:05 | |
-Imagine... -The other... | 0:40:05 | 0:40:06 | |
..this great play of yours ends. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
People are applauding, they are cheering. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:13 | |
Then you step forward and you say, | 0:40:15 | 0:40:18 | |
"Your Majesty, surprise. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:20 | |
"This play has been a collaboration with our Spanish friends." | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
She cries. She hugs you. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:27 | |
She gives you Devon. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:29 | |
-I do like Devon. -Who doesn't? | 0:40:30 | 0:40:33 | |
Together...we shall put on a play that will go down in history... | 0:40:33 | 0:40:39 | |
-Wait a minute. Is this it? -Yeah, well, it's not quite finished. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:43 | |
Not quite finished? It's, what, three pages? | 0:40:43 | 0:40:45 | |
It's been a bit of a struggle, if I'm honest. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:47 | |
You're telling me. "Hello. I'm a man in a play." | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
"I am a woman also in a play." | 0:40:50 | 0:40:51 | |
-Talk about clunky exposition. -Well, what do you expect me to do? | 0:40:51 | 0:40:55 | |
Stumble across some unsuspecting young writer with a completed play, | 0:40:55 | 0:40:58 | |
hoodwink him, steal his work and pass it off as my own? | 0:40:58 | 0:41:01 | |
Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't realise you had visitors. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:04 | |
Oh, Anne, | 0:41:04 | 0:41:05 | |
this is, erm... | 0:41:05 | 0:41:08 | |
-Geoff... Smith. -Yes. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:12 | |
A theatrical impresario. And these are the... | 0:41:12 | 0:41:16 | |
..Cockney Players of Bow. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:21 | |
-All right? -London Town. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
Down the rub-a-dub. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
You see, I'm putting on a play for the Queen. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
If you can find one, mate. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:30 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
-I'll find one, mate. -Well, you better had. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:34 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:41:34 | 0:41:37 | |
My husband's written a play. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:39 | |
Can you spare a moment to talk about vegetables at all? | 0:41:45 | 0:41:47 | |
-No. -They're really good for you and... | 0:41:47 | 0:41:49 | |
Hey. What are you doing? | 0:41:49 | 0:41:51 | |
This is a meat market, mate. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:53 | |
This is our patch, not some sort of vegetable pa... | 0:41:53 | 0:41:57 | |
Surely there's room enough for... | 0:41:58 | 0:41:59 | |
There some sort of problem here, Leslie? | 0:41:59 | 0:42:01 | |
No, no. No problem. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:04 | |
Just a salad that needs addressing. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:08 | |
Ups-a-daisy. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:09 | |
Here, you can't just walk around pushing people about. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:12 | |
What, like that? | 0:42:12 | 0:42:14 | |
LAUGHS | 0:42:14 | 0:42:16 | |
Take your veg and stick it! | 0:42:16 | 0:42:19 | |
-All right. -Sorry, mate. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:21 | |
-Had a bad day. -Fancy a spot of lunch? | 0:42:21 | 0:42:23 | |
We'll get something light. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:24 | |
Phil Shakespeare? | 0:42:27 | 0:42:29 | |
-WOMAN: -Bring out your dead! | 0:42:36 | 0:42:38 | |
Marlowe. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:40 | |
-Bring out your dead! -FLIES BUZZING | 0:42:42 | 0:42:44 | |
Who's dead? | 0:42:45 | 0:42:47 | |
HE GASPS | 0:42:51 | 0:42:53 | |
Walsingham. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:54 | |
-I thought you were dead. -I'm as alive as the next man. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:57 | |
Just...hiding in plain sight. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
In these troubled times, a truly... | 0:43:02 | 0:43:04 | |
-It's a pretty good yield. -Yeah, it's been a good day today. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:10 | |
-Any more dead? -Anyway, down to business. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:13 | |
I need some information. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:15 | |
No, I'm out of the spying game, | 0:43:15 | 0:43:17 | |
I told you. I'm now a credible artiste. | 0:43:17 | 0:43:19 | |
There's been a dip in writing work. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:23 | |
-The cucumber's for the dip. -Makes sense. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:27 | |
Well, spy or no spy, I would ask you to keep your ear to the ground | 0:43:27 | 0:43:31 | |
for any signs of a Catholic plot. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:34 | |
-Well, like what? -Well, I don't know. | 0:43:34 | 0:43:36 | |
Er... Priest holes, candles, massive Marys... | 0:43:36 | 0:43:41 | |
..big pictures of the Pope. | 0:43:41 | 0:43:43 | |
If you see anything, you can contact me | 0:43:43 | 0:43:45 | |
through the pie stall in the marketplace. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:48 | |
Until next time, then, I'll bid you...adieu. | 0:43:48 | 0:43:52 | |
-Your Majesty. -Hm. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:00 | |
BILL: Familiarise yourself with this. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:02 | |
-"Thou shalt be king." -BILL: Don't be nervous. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:04 | |
THEY REHEARSE LINES Same for you, Mick. | 0:44:04 | 0:44:06 | |
-I have lady parts. -Erm... | 0:44:06 | 0:44:09 | |
-I have the lady parts? -Oh, yes, I see. | 0:44:10 | 0:44:14 | |
Erm... Yeah, you're playing both female roles. | 0:44:14 | 0:44:16 | |
OK! Suit the action to the word and the word to the action. | 0:44:17 | 0:44:22 | |
Oh, and speak the speech as I pronounced it to you, | 0:44:22 | 0:44:26 | |
because some of you have slightly weird accents. | 0:44:26 | 0:44:30 | |
-ATTEMPTS COCKNEY ACCENT: -All-day breakfast. Fish and chips. | 0:44:30 | 0:44:33 | |
Good. Well... | 0:44:35 | 0:44:38 | |
Best of luck, guys. Break a leg. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:41 | |
No problem. | 0:44:41 | 0:44:43 | |
-Nibbles? -No. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:45 | |

Oh, God, I'm dead. | 0:46:52 | 0:46:54 | |
DOOR CLOSES | 0:46:55 | 0:46:57 | |
LOW CHATTER AND LAUGHTER | 0:46:58 | 0:47:00 | |
I heard about the play. | 0:47:00 | 0:47:02 | |
Sorry, mate. | 0:47:07 | 0:47:09 | |
Why are you dressed as a sausage? | 0:47:14 | 0:47:16 | |
I got turned. Playing for the other team now. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:20 | |
Well, if they need a spare rib, put a word in. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:22 | |
-Looks like I need a change of career. -Oh, come on, Bill. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:26 | |
I'm sure it's not all that bad. | 0:47:28 | 0:47:29 | |
You know, sometimes these things, they seem worse than they actually...are. | 0:47:29 | 0:47:33 | |
Oh, no. Why would you...? | 0:47:33 | 0:47:36 | |
Where's all the...? | 0:47:39 | 0:47:41 | |
What the hell's that? | 0:47:41 | 0:47:43 | |
Dance moves. | 0:47:43 | 0:47:45 | |
I'm not a writer, am I? | 0:47:49 | 0:47:50 | |
Just a fad. | 0:47:52 | 0:47:54 | |
Right, first things first - write what you know. | 0:47:56 | 0:48:00 | |
OK? | 0:48:02 | 0:48:04 | |
Well, get a quill. | 0:48:04 | 0:48:06 | |
And ales. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:10 | |
You've just got to take in everything around you. Take in all your surroundings. | 0:48:14 | 0:48:17 | |
SOUNDTRACK OVER DIALOGUE | 0:48:23 | 0:48:25 | |
-Yes! -Yes! | 0:48:57 | 0:48:59 | |
-Ow! -This is not a library. | 0:49:17 | 0:49:19 | |
His Lordship sent me for Mr Shakespeare's play. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:23 | |
-Oh, well, there you go. -I'll deal with this. | 0:49:23 | 0:49:26 | |
Mr Shakespeare works for coin, which I don't see any...of. | 0:49:26 | 0:49:31 | |
His Lordship said he'd pay Mr Shakespeare when he saw him next. | 0:49:31 | 0:49:34 | |
Don't give me that old chuff. You know how this works. | 0:49:34 | 0:49:37 | |
-No money, no funny. -All right. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:40 | |
Don't stab the messenger...please. | 0:49:40 | 0:49:42 | |
You tell Mr Croydon that Mr Shakespeare will meet him tonight. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:46 | |
Somewhere neutral. The Bull's Inn, Deptford. | 0:49:46 | 0:49:48 | |
It's quite safe. He brings the money, he gets the script. | 0:49:48 | 0:49:51 | |
-I'll tell him. -Good. | 0:49:51 | 0:49:54 | |
And I'll tell your mum... who isn't here. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:56 | |
-Needs work. -Yeah, it does, doesn't it? | 0:50:00 | 0:50:02 | |
You'll be fine. Just stick to your guns. | 0:50:03 | 0:50:06 | |
50 pounds, not a farthing less. | 0:50:06 | 0:50:07 | |
-Got it. -Bill. | 0:50:07 | 0:50:09 | |
-I think you've got something. -What, from the river? | 0:50:11 | 0:50:13 | |
No. I mean... | 0:50:13 | 0:50:15 | |
..talent. | 0:50:15 | 0:50:17 | |
It's a little rough, sure, but...it's there. | 0:50:17 | 0:50:20 | |
So, I am a writer? | 0:50:21 | 0:50:23 | |
Not yet. This... | 0:50:23 | 0:50:25 | |
..I can teach you. | 0:50:26 | 0:50:28 | |
Only you can find this. | 0:50:28 | 0:50:30 | |
A nipple? | 0:50:30 | 0:50:32 | |
We'll work on it. | 0:50:32 | 0:50:34 | |
Thanks, Chris. | 0:50:37 | 0:50:39 | |
CHUCKLING | 0:50:39 | 0:50:41 | |
Thanks. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:44 | |
Bill, you forgot the play! | 0:50:51 | 0:50:53 | |
Sorry. I... | 0:50:53 | 0:50:55 | |
Oh, no. | 0:50:55 | 0:50:56 | |
Christopher Marlowe. How nice to see you again. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:06 | |
It would seem your world has been turned upside down. | 0:51:06 | 0:51:11 | |
Which is funny, because you are the wrong way up. | 0:51:11 | 0:51:15 | |
Look, I know I missed a few payments, but... | 0:51:15 | 0:51:20 | |
Ssssh! | 0:51:20 | 0:51:21 | |
Honestly, you writers. | 0:51:21 | 0:51:23 | |
BOTH: You are all the same. | 0:51:23 | 0:51:26 | |
We lend you money to buy little house. | 0:51:26 | 0:51:29 | |
You now have little house. You pay back money. | 0:51:29 | 0:51:33 | |
Absolutely, and I will. | 0:51:33 | 0:51:34 | |
Overdue payments may result in increased interest rates, | 0:51:34 | 0:51:37 | |
recovery action and forfeiture of life and limb/limbs. | 0:51:37 | 0:51:42 | |
Terms and conditions apply. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:44 | |
-Small print? -Not really. | 0:51:44 | 0:51:47 | |
Although, admittedly, it is in Russian. | 0:51:47 | 0:51:49 | |
Perhaps we were not clear what happens to people who are late twice. | 0:51:51 | 0:51:56 | |
This is a late customer. | 0:51:58 | 0:52:01 | |
-Urgh! -Which is funny because he is dead. | 0:52:02 | 0:52:05 | |
In order to avoid further inconvenience, | 0:52:07 | 0:52:11 | |
we now require you to pay full amount. | 0:52:11 | 0:52:14 | |
50 English cash pounds by this time tomorrow. | 0:52:14 | 0:52:18 | |
50? Where the hell am I supposed to find 50...pounds? | 0:52:18 | 0:52:23 | |
£50 by tomorrow. Or we have to buy another trunk. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:28 | |
Ooh. Got you these. | 0:52:48 | 0:52:50 | |
Some sort of rose. I forget the name. | 0:52:52 | 0:52:55 | |
I've got news. | 0:52:59 | 0:53:00 | |
SHE GIGGLES Keep them closed. | 0:53:03 | 0:53:05 | |
OK? | 0:53:08 | 0:53:10 | |
Open them. | 0:53:10 | 0:53:12 | |
-I've sold my play. -Wow. | 0:53:15 | 0:53:18 | |
To an earl. | 0:53:18 | 0:53:19 | |
Earl of Croydon. | 0:53:19 | 0:53:22 | |
-It's near Penge. -Penge, yeah. | 0:53:22 | 0:53:24 | |
And they're putting it on for the Queen. Not here. At the palace. | 0:53:24 | 0:53:27 | |
This was just, you know... | 0:53:27 | 0:53:29 | |
-For the drama. -Yeah. | 0:53:30 | 0:53:32 | |
But it's good, Anne. | 0:53:32 | 0:53:34 | |
-Imagine it. -Where...? | 0:53:34 | 0:53:37 | |
Get down from there. | 0:53:40 | 0:53:42 | |
The Rose Theatre is delighted | 0:53:42 | 0:53:44 | |
to present a play by Bill Shakespeare! | 0:53:44 | 0:53:48 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:53:48 | 0:53:50 | |
Listen. | 0:53:59 | 0:54:01 | |
I know I haven't always made things...easy. | 0:54:01 | 0:54:05 | |
But it really feels like things are looking up for me. | 0:54:07 | 0:54:09 | |
For us. | 0:54:10 | 0:54:12 | |
And you said I'd never make it. | 0:54:16 | 0:54:19 | |
-What? -"Go and be a butcher," you said. | 0:54:19 | 0:54:22 | |
"Don't go to London," you said. Well, look at me now. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:27 | |
Hang on a minute. I've always supported you. | 0:54:27 | 0:54:29 | |
Well, yes and no. | 0:54:29 | 0:54:31 | |
-I mean, up to a point, but... -Up to a point? | 0:54:31 | 0:54:34 | |
Well, let's face it, here I am, in London, | 0:54:34 | 0:54:37 | |
about to perform my play for the Queen. | 0:54:37 | 0:54:42 | |
And who's that down to? | 0:54:42 | 0:54:43 | |
Yours truly. | 0:54:45 | 0:54:47 | |
Number 1A, Me Avenue. | 0:54:47 | 0:54:49 | |
-It was me, you idiot. -What? | 0:54:51 | 0:54:54 | |
-I told Croydon about your play. -What? When? | 0:54:54 | 0:54:57 | |
-The other day, at his house. -At his house, were you? | 0:54:57 | 0:55:00 | |
-Not like that. He picked me up. -Did he, now? | 0:55:00 | 0:55:02 | |
-I was trying to help you. -Well, I don't need your help. | 0:55:02 | 0:55:06 | |
Well, that's a bit of luck, isn't it? Because you're not going to get it again. | 0:55:06 | 0:55:09 | |
-I'm going back to Stratford. -Fine. | 0:55:09 | 0:55:12 | |
One day you'll realise what you just lost. | 0:55:14 | 0:55:17 | |
I hope it was all worth it. | 0:55:17 | 0:55:18 | |
No, one day you'll realise what you lost, when I'm up here. | 0:55:21 | 0:55:25 | |
When I'm up here. | 0:55:29 | 0:55:31 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:55:31 | 0:55:33 | |
THUNDER RUMBLES | 0:55:34 | 0:55:36 | |
Saying things in a short, snappy way | 0:56:04 | 0:56:06 | |
instead of a long, drawn-out way is the soul of wit. | 0:56:06 | 0:56:10 | |
Ooh. Someone's been in the wars. | 0:56:17 | 0:56:20 | |
Yes, I... | 0:56:20 | 0:56:21 | |
-What are you doing in a pie? -It's a disguise. | 0:56:23 | 0:56:25 | |
Or one might say a dis-pies. | 0:56:25 | 0:56:29 | |
Now, that works in three ways. | 0:56:29 | 0:56:31 | |
One, it's a disguise. Two, the disguise is pies. | 0:56:31 | 0:56:34 | |
And three, it's got the word "spies" in it, so... | 0:56:34 | 0:56:37 | |
-It's very clever. -Mm. | 0:56:37 | 0:56:38 | |
What did you want? | 0:56:38 | 0:56:40 | |
-Well, you know Catholic plots? -Does the Pope wear a silly hat? | 0:56:40 | 0:56:45 | |
I think I may have found one. | 0:56:47 | 0:56:49 | |
He rents a room above The Quill and Rapier. | 0:56:51 | 0:56:54 | |
Well, you'll see for yourself. | 0:56:54 | 0:56:57 | |
He's turned it into some sort of Catholic shrine. | 0:56:57 | 0:57:00 | |
What the...? | 0:57:03 | 0:57:04 | |
I'm being framed. | 0:57:09 | 0:57:11 | |
-MEN: -Left, right, left... -Come on, lads. | 0:57:11 | 0:57:12 | |
Chris? BANGING ON DOOR | 0:57:15 | 0:57:18 | |
-MEN: -Left, right, left... | 0:57:18 | 0:57:19 | |
Mr Shakespeare, I presume. | 0:57:22 | 0:57:24 | |
You, my friend, are going straight to he... Aargh! | 0:57:24 | 0:57:28 | |
-MEN: -Left, right, left, right... | 0:57:28 | 0:57:30 | |
After him, you fools! | 0:57:30 | 0:57:32 | |
CLUCKING | 0:57:38 | 0:57:39 | |
OVERLAPPING CHATTER | 0:57:46 | 0:57:48 | |
Right! Can everyone please stop arriving? | 0:57:48 | 0:57:51 | |
-Where's the money? -Where's Shakespeare? | 0:58:08 | 0:58:11 | |
He's...tied up. I'm...his agent. | 0:58:13 | 0:58:16 | |
Play first. | 0:58:22 | 0:58:24 | |
What the hell's this? | 0:58:37 | 0:58:40 | |
Your change, sir. | 0:58:40 | 0:58:42 | |
SQUELCH | 0:58:43 | 0:58:44 | |
Urgh! Aargh! | 0:58:44 | 0:58:45 | |
A pleasure doing business with you. | 0:58:45 | 0:58:48 | |
Why? | 0:58:48 | 0:58:49 | |
Er... Cheaper. | 0:58:49 | 0:58:51 | |
MARLOWE GASPS | 0:58:54 | 0:58:55 | |
-King Philip II of Spain. -Sssh. | 0:58:55 | 0:58:58 | |
MARLOWE GROANS It's a secret, you see. | 0:58:58 | 0:59:01 | |
This play you have kindly provided me with... | 0:59:02 | 0:59:04 | |
..I'm going to use it to kill the Queen. | 0:59:05 | 0:59:09 | |
A Catholic plot. You fiend! | 0:59:11 | 0:59:13 | |
Don't be like that. | 0:59:13 | 0:59:15 | |
Oh, don't take it out. Don't take it out. | 0:59:15 | 0:59:17 | |
It won't hurt if I do it quickly. It's a bit like erm... | 0:59:17 | 0:59:20 | |
Do you do your eyebrows? | 0:59:20 | 0:59:22 | |
-No. -OK. Well, it's a little bit like that. | 0:59:22 | 0:59:24 | |
Aargh! | 0:59:24 | 0:59:26 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:59:26 | 0:59:28 | |
Bill... | 0:59:31 | 0:59:32 | |
Chris, I'm going to kill you! MARLOWE GROANS | 0:59:41 | 0:59:43 | |
Join the club, mate. | 0:59:45 | 0:59:47 | |
-Oh, my God. -No, it's a scratch. It's just a scratch. | 0:59:47 | 0:59:50 | |
It's nothing. | 0:59:50 | 0:59:53 | |
Actually, that is quite bad, isn't it? | 0:59:53 | 0:59:55 | |
Chris? | 0:59:59 | 1:00:00 | |
I betrayed you. | 1:00:02 | 1:00:04 | |
I needed the play, the money. | 1:00:04 | 1:00:07 | |
-I'm in terrible debt. -This was over a debt? | 1:00:07 | 1:00:10 | |
No, no. This was... Catholics. | 1:00:10 | 1:00:13 | |
-Catholics? -Croydon's company. | 1:00:13 | 1:00:15 | |
-They're Spanish agents. -The Cockney Players? | 1:00:15 | 1:00:18 | |
-But they're from Bow. -No. | 1:00:18 | 1:00:19 | |
Mark me, they plan to use our play to somehow kill the Queen. | 1:00:19 | 1:00:23 | |
You must go to the pie stall in the marketplace. | 1:00:24 | 1:00:26 | |
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? | 1:00:28 | 1:00:30 | |
Oh, sorry. Did you want that? | 1:00:30 | 1:00:32 | |
Want it? He isn't dead. | 1:00:32 | 1:00:34 | |
Well, not quite. But I knock off in five, and realistically... | 1:00:34 | 1:00:37 | |
Go away! | 1:00:37 | 1:00:38 | |
Right, you see her? Well, your mum... | 1:00:44 | 1:00:47 | |
-For God's sake, not now, Chris. -Yes, yes, the plot. | 1:00:47 | 1:00:51 | |
You must find Walsingham. | 1:00:51 | 1:00:53 | |
Go to the pie stall in the marketplace and say these code words. | 1:00:53 | 1:00:57 | |
Saying things in a short, snappy way...soul of wit. | 1:00:57 | 1:01:01 | |
You mean "brevity". | 1:01:03 | 1:01:05 | |
Er... Yeah. | 1:01:05 | 1:01:07 | |
But say it my way. | 1:01:07 | 1:01:09 | |
And Walsingham will deal with the Spanish. | 1:01:09 | 1:01:12 | |
Avenge me, my friend... | 1:01:14 | 1:01:16 | |
for now I go...and it is done. | 1:01:16 | 1:01:18 | |
The bell invites me. | 1:01:20 | 1:01:22 | |
One more thing. | 1:01:28 | 1:01:30 | |
The...the script I gave them, it's... | 1:01:30 | 1:01:34 | |
It... | 1:01:37 | 1:01:39 | |
So wise, so young... | 1:01:44 | 1:01:47 | |
..they say do never live long. | 1:01:47 | 1:01:49 | |
Seriously? | 1:01:56 | 1:01:58 | |
Well, Your Majesty, we have our play. | 1:02:00 | 1:02:04 | |
Cheers. | 1:02:05 | 1:02:06 | |
We'll stop for nibbles. | 1:02:06 | 1:02:08 | |
Yes, I don't want to worry you, | 1:02:09 | 1:02:11 | |
but this reads a lot like a Russian loan agreement. | 1:02:11 | 1:02:13 | |
Why, that double-crossing little... | 1:02:15 | 1:02:17 | |
Furs! | 1:02:17 | 1:02:19 | |
Get your lovely furs! | 1:02:19 | 1:02:22 | |
High fashion furs! | 1:02:23 | 1:02:26 | |
High fashion... | 1:02:27 | 1:02:29 | |
Saying things in a short, snappy way inst... | 1:02:32 | 1:02:34 | |
- Oh, no. - Oh, yes. | 1:02:37 | 1:02:39 | |
King Philip II of Spain. | 1:02:42 | 1:02:44 | |
HE GROANS | 1:02:44 | 1:02:46 | |
- Where is the play? - I don't know. | 1:02:47 | 1:02:50 | |
You'd better tell me... | 1:02:50 | 1:02:52 | |
or I will let Lope here loose with his device. | 1:02:52 | 1:02:56 | |
You don't want to know where this bit goes. | 1:02:56 | 1:02:59 | |
So, you'd better tell me... | 1:02:59 | 1:03:02 | |
-In your bum. -Don't actually say it. | 1:03:02 | 1:03:06 | |
Why are you saying it? It's more dramatic if you don't say it. I... What? | 1:03:06 | 1:03:10 | |
OK. | 1:03:10 | 1:03:11 | |
Listen, as far as I knew, you had the play. | 1:03:11 | 1:03:13 | |
- I don't know where he's put it. - Then you will write me a new play. | 1:03:13 | 1:03:17 | |
Without Chris, that's impossible. | 1:03:18 | 1:03:21 | |
Nothing is impossible, Mr Shakespeare. | 1:03:21 | 1:03:24 | |
Given the proper motivation. | 1:03:24 | 1:03:26 | |
- Anne. - That's right. | 1:03:32 | 1:03:34 | |
We have Jan. | 1:03:34 | 1:03:36 | |
It's Anne. | 1:03:36 | 1:03:38 | |
Is it? Oh. | 1:03:38 | 1:03:40 | |
-Why? -Because the Queen needs a play | 1:03:40 | 1:03:43 | |
and I'm not about to let her down. | 1:03:43 | 1:03:46 | |
But he's going to kill the Queen, you idiot! | 1:03:46 | 1:03:48 | |
I think you mean surprise the Queen. | 1:03:48 | 1:03:52 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 1:03:52 | 1:03:54 | |
-Right? -Well, it's kind of a surprise. | 1:03:54 | 1:03:57 | |
Oh! | 1:03:59 | 1:04:01 | |
Oh, you villainous snake. | 1:04:02 | 1:04:04 | |
As a loyal peer and patriot, | 1:04:05 | 1:04:07 | |
I would never betray the sovereign power. | 1:04:07 | 1:04:10 | |
-You still get Devon. -Very much back on board. | 1:04:10 | 1:04:13 | |
So, you write me a new play... | 1:04:13 | 1:04:15 | |
..otherwise, it's, "Adios, senora." | 1:04:16 | 1:04:19 | |
- It's...? - It's Spanish for "Goodbye, lady." | 1:04:21 | 1:04:23 | |
It means I'm going to kill her. | 1:04:23 | 1:04:25 | |
Look, you wrote play before. Write it again. | 1:04:35 | 1:04:38 | |
I thought you were playwright. | 1:04:38 | 1:04:39 | |
Well, you thought wrong. | 1:04:39 | 1:04:41 | |
I can't do this, not on my own. | 1:04:43 | 1:04:45 | |
I hope that is not true. For your sake. | 1:04:45 | 1:04:47 | |

What art thou? | 1:04:59 | 1:05:00 | |
By heaven I charge thee, speak. | 1:05:00 | 1:05:03 | |
Hello. | 1:05:05 | 1:05:06 | |
Erm... Hello. | 1:05:06 | 1:05:08 | |
You're not here. | 1:05:09 | 1:05:10 | |
You're just a tired mind playing tricks. | 1:05:10 | 1:05:13 | |
I'm a friend when you need one. Question not my coming. | 1:05:13 | 1:05:17 | |
So you've come to help me? With the play? | 1:05:17 | 1:05:21 | |
LAUGHS | 1:05:21 | 1:05:23 | |
I can no more lift a quill than I can tip this cup. | 1:05:24 | 1:05:27 | |
CUP CLATTERS | 1:05:29 | 1:05:30 | |
That was a coincidence. | 1:05:30 | 1:05:32 | |
The point is, I cannot give you help. | 1:05:32 | 1:05:34 | |
You don't need it. | 1:05:35 | 1:05:37 | |
I've got nothing here. | 1:05:38 | 1:05:40 | |
No characters, no story. | 1:05:42 | 1:05:44 | |
No story? No story in the time we've shared? | 1:05:44 | 1:05:48 | |
Of the hand that fate has dealt you these days past? | 1:05:49 | 1:05:52 | |
Tales of betrayal, plotting kings, the death of a friend. | 1:05:53 | 1:05:59 | |
Such twists and turns as would shame any fiction. | 1:06:00 | 1:06:03 | |
Write what you know. | 1:06:08 | 1:06:10 | |
I can do this. | 1:06:14 | 1:06:16 | |
I can do this. | 1:06:18 | 1:06:20 | |
No, no, no. Wait, wait. That's just the story. | 1:06:21 | 1:06:24 | |
What of the words? | 1:06:24 | 1:06:25 | |
HE SNIFFLES | 1:07:10 | 1:07:12 | |
It's a hit. | 1:07:14 | 1:07:16 | |
A palpable hit. | 1:07:17 | 1:07:19 | |
So my wife can go. | 1:07:20 | 1:07:23 | |
But you haven't finished yet. I have some notes. | 1:07:23 | 1:07:26 | |
Number one, we lose this. | 1:07:27 | 1:07:29 | |
It's your play now. | 1:07:29 | 1:07:31 | |
And number two, the end could be a little more... | 1:07:31 | 1:07:35 | |
How shall I say? | 1:07:35 | 1:07:37 | |
Explosive. | 1:07:39 | 1:07:40 | |
-OTHERS: -Hooray! | 1:07:40 | 1:07:42 | |
Sssh. | 1:07:42 | 1:07:44 | |
-WHISPER: -Hooray. | 1:07:44 | 1:07:46 | |
Hm. | 1:07:46 | 1:07:48 | |
Gather round. So, here's the plan. | 1:07:48 | 1:07:51 | |
You will stack the gunpowder behind the stage during the first act. | 1:07:51 | 1:07:55 | |
Juan will then light the fuse when he hears Ramon, | 1:07:55 | 1:07:58 | |
who plays witch number three, say the line, | 1:07:58 | 1:08:00 | |
Thou shalt be king hereafter. | 1:08:00 | 1:08:02 | |
Hope you like bombs. | 1:08:02 | 1:08:04 | |
I shall then make my excuses | 1:08:04 | 1:08:05 | |
and sneak out while you exit through the kitchen. | 1:08:05 | 1:08:07 | |
Gotta go now. Bye. | 1:08:07 | 1:08:09 | |
And Mr Shakespeare will be coming with us | 1:08:09 | 1:08:12 | |
to witness the final act in his little drama, | 1:08:12 | 1:08:15 | |
where we will quite literally bring the house down. | 1:08:15 | 1:08:18 | |

OK. Left a bit, John. | 1:08:27 | 1:08:29 | |

Right. And let it go. | 1:08:31 | 1:08:34 | |

Erm... Hello? Excuse me? | 1:08:50 | 1:08:53 | |
Where are you going? | 1:08:53 | 1:08:54 | |
-COCKNEY ACCENT: -We're the Cockney Players of Bow, me old plate. | 1:08:54 | 1:08:58 | |
-Yeah. -The actors, yes. | 1:08:58 | 1:09:00 | |
Yeah, I'm looking forward to that. I used to do a turn myself. | 1:09:00 | 1:09:03 | |
I don't know if you've ever heard of The Sticky Players? | 1:09:03 | 1:09:06 | |
Oh... Magic days. | 1:09:06 | 1:09:08 | |
Anyway, just follow the path and you'll get to the front gate. | 1:09:08 | 1:09:11 | |
Hang on. What are those barrels about? | 1:09:11 | 1:09:14 | |
ALL: Er... | 1:09:15 | 1:09:16 | |
Well, there's a Cockney song, in't there, mate, | 1:09:16 | 1:09:19 | |

invited to your fine country, | 1:10:38 | 1:10:40 | |
which I just got to this morning. | 1:10:40 | 1:10:43 | |
I came straight here. No funny business. | 1:10:43 | 1:10:46 | |
Whoa! Talk about boat-lagged. | 1:10:46 | 1:10:48 | |
Philip. | 1:10:48 | 1:10:49 | |
It is our greatest hope that this summit shall pave the way | 1:10:49 | 1:10:53 | |
to lasting peace between our two great nations. | 1:10:53 | 1:10:59 | |

First we eat, and before you ask, the soup's served hot. | 1:11:13 | 1:11:18 | |
Ah, come off it. | 1:11:18 | 1:11:19 | |
Then we watch Crawley's new play | 1:11:19 | 1:11:21 | |
and finally we discuss the release of Hawkins. | 1:11:21 | 1:11:27 | |
Who? | 1:11:27 | 1:11:29 | |
Hello! | 1:11:29 | 1:11:31 | |
Oh, yes, him, the reason I'm here. Ha-ha! | 1:11:31 | 1:11:33 | |
Mind like a gauze. It's terrible. | 1:11:33 | 1:11:35 | |
Yeah, that's him. | 1:11:36 | 1:11:38 | |
Oh. And one of 'em said something about a pie stall. | 1:11:38 | 1:11:41 | |

Burghley. I like what you've done with this. Huh? | 1:12:12 | 1:12:15 | |

Oh! Didn't I mention? It seems Devon comes with a duchess. | 1:12:26 | 1:12:31 | |
HE SNIGGERS | 1:12:31 | 1:12:33 | |
Well, he may be a crazed religious extremist, | 1:12:33 | 1:12:36 | |

This is what's known as breaking the fourth wall. | 1:16:52 | 1:16:57 | |

I shall do such things. | 1:19:59 | 1:20:02 | |
What they are yet, I know not. | 1:20:02 | 1:20:04 | |
But they shall be the terrors of the earth. | 1:20:05 | 1:20:09 | |
And we're going to bring an horse. | 1:20:14 | 1:20:16 | |
But it's not a normal horse. Oh, no. | 1:20:16 | 1:20:18 | |
It's a ginormous horse and it will confuse you. | 1:20:18 | 1:20:21 | |
-But that's the point of the horse. -What is wrong with you? | 1:20:21 | 1:20:24 | |
What is actually wrong with you? You are broken in the head. | 1:20:24 | 1:20:26 | |
It is not a real horse! | 1:20:26 | 1:20:28 | |
-It is not a real horse? -It is not a real horse. | 1:20:28 | 1:20:30 | |
-What is it? -It is a wooden horse. | 1:20:30 | 1:20:32 | |
PHILIP: What is so hard to... | 1:20:32 | 1:20:33 | |
I arrest thee of capital treason | 1:20:38 | 1:20:40 | |
against the Queen and crown, Crawley. | 1:20:40 | 1:20:43 | |
It's not Crawley. It's... | 1:20:43 | 1:20:46 | |
Oh, I give up. | 1:20:47 | 1:20:49 | |
A head filled with such fine words. | 1:20:50 | 1:20:53 | |
Almost a pity to put a spike up it. | 1:20:53 | 1:20:55 | |

William Shakespeare. | 1:21:05 | 1:21:07 | |
My husband. | 1:21:08 | 1:21:09 | |
Well, well, Mr Shakespeare. | 1:21:11 | 1:21:13 | |
Is there no end to your talents? | 1:21:13 | 1:21:16 | |
I may unmask these devils, ma'am, yet still I cast myself among them. | 1:21:16 | 1:21:22 | |
For though I share not the nature of their crimes, | 1:21:22 | 1:21:24 | |
I too sinned, as a demon might... | 1:21:24 | 1:21:27 | |
..when I cast aside an angel. | 1:21:29 | 1:21:32 | |
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? | 1:21:34 | 1:21:36 | |
Thou art more lovely and more temperate. | 1:21:38 | 1:21:42 | |
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May. | 1:21:43 | 1:21:45 | |
-And summer's lease... -Stop talking. | 1:21:45 | 1:21:47 | |

I may not be long for this world. | 1:22:08 | 1:22:10 | |
But I am most grateful to see a few more dawns. | 1:22:12 | 1:22:15 | |
Thank you. | 1:22:17 | 1:22:18 | |
Southampton! | 1:22:20 | 1:22:22 | |
-Hello, love. -Is your money room still bulging? | 1:22:22 | 1:22:26 | |
Oh, it's positively out of hand, darling. | 1:22:26 | 1:22:28 | |
I've had to knock a wall through. | 1:22:28 | 1:22:30 | |
Then see to it that this loyal subject finds himself well financed. | 1:22:30 | 1:22:34 | |
Your Majesty. | 1:22:34 | 1:22:36 | |
Well, we shall be hearing much more from you, won't we, Shakespeare? | 1:22:36 | 1:22:40 | |
Yes, Your Majesty. I have a few ideas. | 1:22:40 | 1:22:44 | |
Excellent. | 1:22:44 | 1:22:46 | |
