-How about Rupert the Evil? How does he fit into it? -Oh, he always wins. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
He will never beat Wilfred! | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |

-"Yes?" -Hello. It's Michael here. Michael Walton. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
-Is Mr Page there? -"Which one do you want?" | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
-Both, if possible. -DOOR BUZZES | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
Come up, Michael. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
-HE KNOCKS ON DOOR -Come in. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
I am Walter, this is Oliver. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
-And you are our cousin Michael. -Yes. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
-That's me. -I believe we met once when you were six months old. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
I am sure he remembers it vividly! | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
Have some cake. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
CHURCH BELLS CHIME | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
Delicious cake. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
-Is that the two of you? -It is indeed. As I am sure you've guessed, I am the baby. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:21 | |
-You do have a lot of radios. -They're from our childhood. Would you like to hear one? | 0:04:25 | 0:04:31 | |
It'll take a moment to warm up. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
What do you want to ask both of us, Michael? | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
Right, yes, erm... | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
I've just got one question, really. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
I'm interested in history. Family history in particular. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
And you're the only ones left from that time. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
Yes. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:50 | |
-My grandmother. -Yes, Celia. Of course. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
I just wondered... | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
What happened to her sister, Anne? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-She was an actress. -She was indeed. She made some films. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
She played the best friend or the school teacher, those sort of parts. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
That's her up there. Anne was the eldest. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
She was adopted, of course. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
As frequently seems to happen, they were desperate for children. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
But they didn't think they could have any, | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
-and so they adopted one. -RADIO CRACKLES | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
And then, lo and behold, | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
along came the babies anyway. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
-They were all very close. -You didn't think it would work, did you? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
Let's see if we can find something more appropriate. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
What happened to her? | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
-Tell me. -It's not always a good place to go, Michael - the past. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:51 | |
This is a little bit better. CRACKLING MUSIC | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |

'It had been a fantastic summer, that summer of '39. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
'The most glorious summer most people could remember for a very long time. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
'The year before, it had seemed war with Germany had been averted, | 0:06:18 | 0:06:24 | |
'the policy of appeasing Hitler, reasoning with him, | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
'really had worked. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
'And even now, it seemed it might still work. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
'Your grandmother and Anne and Ralph | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
'had grown up in a most beautiful house | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
'with an even more beautiful garden. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
'It was a very exciting time. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
'Ralph was doing well at the Foreign Office | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
'and Anne had a part she was very pleased about in a new movie. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
'It was your great-grandfather's birthday, | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
'and they had prepared the most wonderful table for him, | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
'or rather Anne had, | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
'because she was in charge of most things.' | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
The fat men on the march. It's one of your very best tables, Anne. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
I like your friend. The other one's a little dotty, isn't he? | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
Maybe a little, but he can be great fun. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
Anne, he is beautiful. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
Why all the knights? What are they up to? | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
Ah. It's... It's something we started as children. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
-Perhaps if I behave myself, I'll get to take one of these home. -They're absolutely everywhere! | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
Do you want to see? | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
It's all her fault! Anne started it, and then we all did them. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
We call them "fat men dancing". | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
-This reminds me of someone I used to work with. -THEY LAUGH | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
And now there's no escaping them. Oh, that's George. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
His sister, Sonia, disappeared a few days ago, so he's a little upset. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
-Were you allowed to put them everywhere? Nobody said no? -Almost everywhere. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
-We were not allowed in those. -This is the shell line. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-We were not allowed to cross it. -Those buildings were stuffed with Papa's papers he used for his books. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:27 | |
-I bet you did cross it, though. You must have. -No. We never needed to. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
We never have. Even now. There were so many other places to play. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Do you want to see where it all started? | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
We have time to go, don't we, Anne? Please? Say yes. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
Yes. If we're quick. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
Oh! | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
-Mr Speaker! -ECHOING | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
Marvellous place to come to rehearse one's speeches! | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
Point of order, Mr Speaker! | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
The Honourable Member must retract that immediately! | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-THEY LAUGH -Both the first part and the third part. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:11 | |
So this is where it all comes from, the stories we made up about chubby men doing heroic things! | 0:09:13 | 0:09:18 | |
They were all deeply flawed, our knights, overweight and lazy. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
-We liked them like that. -But they could be very brave when we wanted them to be. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:28 | |
They slaughtered anyone who dared attack them! | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
Your father made terrific speeches in the House of Commons. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
It's a pity he speaks so less often now. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
Well, his health has always been delicate. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
-That's why he takes more of a back seat now. -Yes, I've heard a lot about your papa. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:46 | |
Heard he's the most charming man in England. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
Which makes me rather nervous. What if he doesn't like me? | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
Hello. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
-Happy birthday. -Oh, my, my, my! | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
What a glorious homecoming! | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
Anne, you've surpassed yourself, absolutely surpassed yourself! You all have. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:20 | |
Henry, you've met, of course. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
This is Joseph Balcombe, a colleague of Henry's. Joseph, these are my children. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:27 | |
-It is a delightful surprise to find it is your father's birthday. -Happy birthday, Papa. -Thank you. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
-Need I ask, your mother is still getting ready? -Naturally. But she did all the flowers, of course. -Hector! | 0:10:32 | 0:10:37 | |
-Very good to see you! -Happy birthday. -Thank you. And you must be Lawrence. -I am. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
-It's a pleasure to meet you, sir. And happy birthday. -Thank you. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
-You certainly live up to Anne's description of you. -Papa! | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
There is no easy reply to that. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
Did he say he is one of the cleverest people in the Foreign Office | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
and I had better watch out? Because that is the truth. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
DISTANT CHATTERING AND LAUGHTER | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
Why are you here in these parts, Mr Balcombe? | 0:11:05 | 0:11:10 | |
A little fishing. I was determined to get in some fishing somehow. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:15 | |
-How very sensible. -And coming here to such an ancient place, it's... | 0:11:15 | 0:11:20 | |
Well, it's quite possible to think that all is right with the world. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
But it isn't, is it? We're not sleepwalking towards disaster anymore, are we? | 0:11:23 | 0:11:28 | |
-We're welcoming it with open arms. -I've certainly been known to do that in my time. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
-Precisely in what way are we doing that? -I will tell you absolutely precisely. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:37 | |
We're not content with letting Hitler march into Czechoslovakia and Austria. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
Now we're saying, "That's all right, old chap. Take some more countries." | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
-Are we saying that? -Yes, we are. Hitler is intent on taking over Europe and we are letting him do it | 0:11:46 | 0:11:51 | |
so long as he doesn't bother us. It can't be allowed to go on. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
Forgive a statement of the obvious, or what I think is obvious, but evil has to be stood up to. | 0:11:55 | 0:12:00 | |
-But one has to be in a position to do that. One has to have the means. -We've got the bloody means! | 0:12:00 | 0:12:06 | |
Even if we have let Germany re-arm, we mustn't exaggerate how strong she is! | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
Under this current government of Mr Chamberlain, who is my own leader, | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
we are behaving as if we have to avoid war at absolutely all costs. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
So every day we do something that makes the situation worse. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
Do you really think that is true? What did you have in mind? | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
To give you one example, I've heard rumours, I've yet to find out if they're true, | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
the most extraordinary rumours that we are trying to interest the Nazis | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
in accepting a gigantic secret loan, which we will negotiate for them | 0:12:33 | 0:12:38 | |
on international markets, so they can turn their armament industry back to peaceful means. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:43 | |
We are actually planning to give them money! | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
That does sound truly bizarre, Hector. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
Alexander fought in the war and got wounded, so I don't criticise him, | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
but not enough other people are speaking out. It's up to young MPs like me | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
to get rid of the leadership which is leading us to our doom. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
-That is...quite a claim, Mr Haldane. -Yes, and I'm aware it isn't a popular thing to say. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:06 | |
The present leadership will stand no opposition or criticism. They view Mr Churchill as dangerous | 0:13:06 | 0:13:12 | |
because he would stand up to Hitler. He doesn't care at all about giving offence to the Nazis. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:18 | |
So I feel I have to do everything in my power | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
to make sure Mr Churchill is not ignored. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
Come on Thursday. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
The house will be empty in the afternoon. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
-Can you come? -Yes. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
I'll still be at Cranmore, I can come. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
Excuse me. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
A very pleasant evening. Thank you. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
Who is that man? | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
A strange, strange man. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
Thank you for such a wonderful birthday. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
-It wasn't spoilt by Hector? -No. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
I'm used to his fiery outbursts. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
And there is always the possibility he could be right. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
Will you read to me, darling? I love it when you read to me. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
What would you like me to read? | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
It doesn't matter. Some Keats, anything. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |

Oh, Sonia. How did you get in there? | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
CAT MEOWS | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
You've made me break the rules, Sonia. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
What've you been doing in here, anyway? | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
Reading Papa's manuscript about Napoleon? | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
What are these doing here? | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
Been having a good listen, have you? | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
SHE CHUCKLES | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
-FOOTSTEPS -Hello? | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
Mama? | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
-I found Sonia. -That's splendid. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
So much needs doing. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
-You didn't see anyone pass by here just now? -No, dear. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
It must have been one of the servants. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
-Look who I've found. -Ah! | 0:17:13 | 0:17:18 | |
Hello! | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
She got into one of the sheds. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
She didn't realise it was forbidden territory. I thought you knew that. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
Grumpy old girl. So good you're back. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
Look what I found there, too. Foxtrots. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
-One of your favourites, Papa! -She's been dancing in there, too! | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
How odd. I don't think I ever put gramophone records in there. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
-I wonder how that happened. -Let's see if it still plays. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
-"Did you receive the letter?" -"Yes, I did receive that. I believe I did." | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
"I thought we dealt with the matter you raised with me before and we were allowing time for reflection." | 0:17:51 | 0:17:58 | |
-"You ought to address..." -"Various factors have to be taken into consideration..." | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
That's no foxtrot. I'd like to see Papa dancing to that! | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
That's very strange. I think this must be Joseph's doing. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
Mr Balcombe asked if he could store some government overflow with us. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
-They're drowning in paper, apparently. -The government needs to store things here? | 0:18:14 | 0:18:19 | |
It seemed a harmless thing to do. The reason he gave is interesting, and quite funny, and rather rude. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:25 | |
He said there were so few places where one can trust the servants won't go, | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
-but knowing our servants, that wasn't a worry here. -He didn't say that, did he? | 0:18:28 | 0:18:33 | |
They hardly manage to clean the house, let alone the outbuildings! | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
-People didn't count on Sonia and Anne. -Why are they storing records that are labelled as foxtrots? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:42 | |
Which clearly are not. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
That's probably their idea of maximum security. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
"Let's call everything after a dance. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
-"That'll fool everybody, nobody will see through that!" -HE LAUGHS | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
I know after Munich, they've been recording many government calls | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
because people's note-taking has been so inadequate. But I had no idea we had some here. It's rather exciting. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:04 | |
Are you sure there's nobody here? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
There shouldn't be. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
Not even the servants. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
They've all gone to the fete. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
Do we have to have George watching? | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
-That's Sonia. -HE CHUCKLES | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
Do we have to have her watching? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
She likes to watch people make love. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
How many people has she watched? | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
Oh, I've asked, but she's not telling. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
-CAR DOOR SLAMS -It's the way we always come, Aunt Elizabeth. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
Well, there appear to be no servants. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
There's no-one to take my coat. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
-Shall I take it? -Oh, that's all right, my dear. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
Aunt Elizabeth! What a surprise! I thought you were arriving tomorrow. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:13 | |
There's been a slight change of plan. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
Which I hope is not inconvenient. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
It has been a quite extraordinarily busy fortnight. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
First, the ball at Blenheim Palace, which I must admit was spectacular! | 0:20:23 | 0:20:29 | |
People said it put Versailles to shame. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
Then there was the one at Holland House, | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
which was an awful crush, and full of politicians and film stars. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:39 | |
-No offence, my dear. -It sounds exhausting, Aunt Elizabeth. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
Actually, it was rather invigorating. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
You're looking very well, my dear. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
Positively glowing. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
It must be the country air. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
DISTANT CHATTERING AND LAUGHTER | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
I'll see you in London. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
-Promise? -Of course. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
Even though so much is happening, nothing is going to stop me seeing you. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
-You don't mind me doing the crossword here, do you? -Of course not, Gilbert. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:52 | |
We won't work today. It's always the bit players who get delayed. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
Come on, Gilbert, no moaning today. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
I'm really looking forward to our scene next week. You are coming up for the weekend, | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
-for the picnic, so we can rehearse? -I'm honoured to be invited, and of course I'm coming. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:12 | |
But I don't feel the need to rehearse. It's the same old part for me. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
-KNOCK AT DOOR -I was a jolly old gentleman at 22. -Phone call, Miss Keyes. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
-Hello? -"It's Lawrence." -Hello. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
-"Have you heard the news?" -No. What? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
-"Hector is dead." -What? | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
-What happened? That's terrible. -"I think he killed himself." | 0:22:35 | 0:22:40 | |
-Oh, my God. -"It's in the newspaper." | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
-I haven't seen the newspaper. -"He must have killed himself or..." | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
-Or what? -"No, I... I can't talk on the telephone. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:53 | |
"I'm going to Scotland to see his parents. I'll find out more. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
-"As soon as I'm back..." -How long are you going for? | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
-"Not long. When I'm back, I have to see you." -I have to see you, too. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:04 | |
HE HANGS UP | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
There you are! I thought you'd been called and gone without me. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 | |
-What's the matter? -Somebody I know has died. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
Oh, yes. Hector Haldane. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
Always thought he had a marvellous name. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
He was one of the young Members of Parliament speaking out against appeasing Herr Hitler. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:41 | |
I read one of his speeches once. Passionate stuff. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
He's been calling for a change at the top for a new prime minister. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
How sad. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
He was a man of potential. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
I saw him only two weeks ago. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
There you are, my dear! We thought you weren't coming. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
Oh, I'm sorry I'm late. It's a long journey from the studio. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
And now you've got a thrilling evening, meeting our new vicar. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
-Have you heard the news? -We have. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
Poor Hector. It's terrible news. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
He was so full of life. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
CHURCH BELL CHIMES | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
Sir Alexander. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
I'm glad to see some things don't change. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
The family still matters here, clearly. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
You should've put a coat on, Celia. No wonder you're cold. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:51 | |
-Of course you're shocked, my dear. Do you know what happened? -No. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
Lawrence didn't tell me very much. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
He said he thought Hector had killed himself. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
It's possible. He was excitable. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
But there was something very touching about him. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
And very brave. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
I'm so honoured you were able to come this evening. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
We're delighted to be getting our own private performance. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
And we are all here. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
-You've already met Kathleen, my sister. Her boy is in the choir. -Oh, yes. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
I do hope you approve. I'm conducting the choir myself tonight. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:36 | |
It's an anthem that reaches back almost as far as your family. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:40 | |
Let us hope he is an improvement on the last one. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:47 | |
Are we allowed to wave at Walter? | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
You're still looking so pale, my dear. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
Yes. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
I was just thinking about Mr Balcombe. What does he do, Papa? | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
He works at the Home Office doing various things. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
-He's in the Secret Service. It's obvious. -Is he? | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
Would he have taken an interest in Hector? | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
Very possibly, but I don't think he can have bumped him off. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
Bumped him off? Oh, Anne, your love of the dramatic! | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
No, I didn't mean that, of course. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
Mind you, he is rather spooky. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
He seems a little odd, I admit, but he shares my love of fishing. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
It's just... Hector seemed worried about him. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:34 | |
You can't just get rid of Members of Parliament like that. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
CHOIR SING IN LATIN | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
Both the first part... and the third part. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:50 | |
Forgive a statement of the obvious, | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
but evil has to be stood up to. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
I'll ask Mr Balcombe to move all the stuff he's got stored in our sheds. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
It's not right we have things around the house and we don't know what they are. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:09 | |
He can do it very soon. He's coming to the picnic. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
We'll feed him up and then get him to take everything away. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:18 | |
What a splendid estate you have here! | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
It's no wonder you're so proud of it, Sir Alexander. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
-I remember hearing you speak at a meeting about the wonders of nature. -It's marvellous someone remembers. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:32 | |
-It was inspiring. -BABY CRIES | 0:27:32 | 0:27:36 | |
I know I've seen you in the theatre many times. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
One or two performances really stood out. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:48 | |
-Your porter in Macbeth, for instance. -Oh, yes. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
Drunken porter, as I remember. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
-Especially towards the end of the week. -THEY LAUGH | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
Come on, everybody. We've got to walk off all this food. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
-Let's go to the mossy island. -Why do we have to? I can't move! -Come on! | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
We can't take the baby to the mossy island. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
It's all right. I'll stay here and look after him. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
Don't worry, Aunt Elizabeth, I'll stay. Learn my lines. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:18 | |
We'll both sit and look after him together. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
FLIES BUZZ | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
BABY BABBLES | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
I think I might stretch my legs after all, if you don't mind. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:42 | |
I'll lose all use of them if I don't get out of this ridiculous chair at once. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:46 | |
FLIES BUZZ | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
-'Are you sure there's nobody here?' -'There shouldn't be.' | 0:29:17 | 0:29:21 | |
Oliver? | 0:29:46 | 0:29:48 | |
They must have come back for him. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
Oliver? | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
Oliver! | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
Hello! | 0:30:08 | 0:30:11 | |
Papa! | 0:30:13 | 0:30:15 | |
Have you got Oliver with you? | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
Papa! | 0:30:19 | 0:30:20 | |
Walter! Didn't you hear me? Have they got Oliver with them? | 0:30:23 | 0:30:28 | |
No. You've got Oliver. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
No. No, he's gone. Somebody must've come back for him when I wasn't looking. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:35 | |
He's not on the mossy island. I've just been there. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
-TWIG SNAPS -Hello? Who's that? | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
Walter, go back and get them all, right now. Go on. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:49 | |
Go and get them all right now. Quick! | 0:30:49 | 0:30:52 | |
BABY CRIES | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |

-I told you to go and find them all! -I've done that. They're all coming back. I came to help. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:11 | |
-Are you playing a game, Walter? -No, I'm not playing a game. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:15 | |
Did you move Oliver? Did somebody tell you to play a game? | 0:32:15 | 0:32:18 | |
I told you, I am not playing a game. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
Tell me where Oliver is. Tell me where he is! | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
Anne! | 0:32:25 | 0:32:27 | |
-There she is. -Have you got Oliver? -We haven't. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:34 | |
He's gone! I was there, I was just there, | 0:32:34 | 0:32:38 | |
-I turned round and he was gone. The pushchair and everything just vanished! -Calm down. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
-He can't have gone far. -They took the pushchair! -Oh, my God! -I found his shoe. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:46 | |
-If we all fan out, we can cover a lot of ground. -I'm so sorry! | 0:32:46 | 0:32:50 | |
I'm so sorry! | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |
ALL: Oliver! Oliver! Oliver! Oliver! | 0:32:52 | 0:32:56 | |
-Oliver! -I think we should take this path. | 0:32:56 | 0:32:59 | |
But I've looked here. Of course I have. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:02 | |
-We're following the path! -I've been down this path. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:05 | |
Everything's all right. Everything's going to be all right. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
He's not anywhere here. I've looked here, of course I have! | 0:33:08 | 0:33:12 | |
-THEY SHOUT Oliver! -Oliver! | 0:33:12 | 0:33:17 | |
Oliver! | 0:33:17 | 0:33:18 | |
Oliver! | 0:33:22 | 0:33:25 | |
BABY COOS | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |
Oh, my God! Oh, thank God! | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
-We've found him, everybody! -BABY CRIES | 0:33:31 | 0:33:35 | |
Here he is, safe and sound. The panic's over. Yes. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:40 | |
-Come here. -I'm sorry! | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
-BABY CRIES -How on earth did he get there? -I don't know. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:48 | |
I really don't know. I... | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
I must have fallen asleep for a few seconds and...he was gone. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:55 | |
-Somebody moved him. -Somebody moved him? | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
Maybe you were concentrating so much on your lines, darling, | 0:33:58 | 0:34:02 | |
-you walked with him without realising. -I didn't walk with him! | 0:34:02 | 0:34:05 | |
-I didn't move him! -Are you sure about that? | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
-You said you fell asleep. -I didn't walk with him. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:11 | |
I didn't move him, and yes, I'm absolutely certain of that. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:14 | |
I did not move him! | 0:34:18 | 0:34:20 | |
He did have a hell of a lot packed away in our sheds. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:27 | |
I hear they've got the Duke of Wellington to put several tons | 0:34:27 | 0:34:30 | |
of confidential material in his basement. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:33 | |
They're so worried about Communist infiltration, | 0:34:33 | 0:34:35 | |
-they'd rather put it in a duke's wine cellar. -What excuse did you give to make him take it all away? | 0:34:35 | 0:34:41 | |
-I said in winter the sheds all leak. -I didn't move the baby. You ought to believe me. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:45 | |
-I do believe you. -Then who moved him? -It was Walter. -Walter? | 0:34:45 | 0:34:50 | |
-Why would he do that? -Maybe it was the boy. Who knows? | 0:34:50 | 0:34:54 | |
-Perhaps he had some wine when we weren't looking. -Or somebody asked him to move him. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:58 | |
-Why would they do that, darling? -To make me seem unreliable, a bit dotty. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:03 | |
He knows I'm friends with Lawrence and with Hector. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:06 | |
I think we should let Mr Balcombe disappear with all his boxes and just not invite him again, ever. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:13 | |
We want to be sure we get rid of him, which I'm sure we can do. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:17 | |
We've lost a terrific chance to do a lot of snooping. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:20 | |
-So, I think that is everything. -Including all the foxtrots? | 0:35:23 | 0:35:27 | |
I believe so, yes. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:30 | |
And there's nothing left behind in here, is there? | 0:35:31 | 0:35:35 | |
-In the house? -I don't think so, Joseph. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:38 | |
-No. -No. I don't know of anything. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:42 | |
-KNOCK AT DOOR -Come in. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:53 | |
I just wanted to see how you are. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:57 | |
-I'm absolutely fine. There's nothing wrong with me. -Of course not. | 0:35:59 | 0:36:02 | |
Anyway, the spooky man has gone at last. | 0:36:04 | 0:36:06 | |
-Papa says we're returning to London tomorrow morning. -Really? | 0:36:06 | 0:36:09 | |
Yes. Because parliament may be about to be recalled. It's a bit of a crisis, apparently. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:14 | |
But I think it's terrific we're going. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
Nowadays I can't stand it down here after a couple of weeks. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:21 | |
No disrespect to Sonia. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
You'll forgive me, won't you? I really miss Horatio. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:33 | |
CAT MEOWS | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
Oh, Sir Alexander! I wasn't expecting you! The house is not aired! | 0:36:38 | 0:36:42 | |
We had no idea you were coming back today. Mrs Hardiman is not back till the end of the week! | 0:36:42 | 0:36:47 | |
-Hello, darling! -No need to alarm yourself, Betty. We live in unpredictable times. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:51 | |
-We can manage without Mrs Hardiman. -There is an awful racket from next door, sir. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:56 | |
-They're getting ready for a party. There's been banging all day long. -I'm sure it will all be fine. | 0:36:56 | 0:37:02 | |
-As long as they don't throw anything into our garden. -And remember to invite us. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:06 | |

Glorious...I know it's a very sensitive subject, | 0:37:28 | 0:37:33 | |
but with my new job, I have access to all sorts of things, | 0:37:33 | 0:37:37 | |
and I know who to ask to find out even more. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:40 | |
So...only if you wish it, of course, | 0:37:40 | 0:37:44 | |
but I could find out who your real parents were. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:47 | |
-You could? -So what do you think? | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
I don't know if I want to know. For some reason, it's never really worried me who my real parents are. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:03 | |
I don't think about it much anymore. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
It's a big decision. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:11 | |

Oh, that old thing, Miss? I put it away in the lumber room. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:32 | |

"The individual reports we'll be looking into are number 10, 15 and 22. 37 is still being..." | 0:38:55 | 0:39:02 | |
"Nothing more to say! I told you! You keep ringing me! You've got to stop this!" | 0:39:09 | 0:39:14 | |
-"We're just reminding you, Mr Haldane, of the information..." -Hector? | 0:39:14 | 0:39:18 | |
"That information is private! Do you understand? It's private! People do all sorts of things! | 0:39:18 | 0:39:23 | |
"And if I have, I have! I want you to stop calling me and my parents, you tried to call my parents!" | 0:39:23 | 0:39:29 | |
"We wanted you to realise we meant what we said, and it is best for you to listen to us." | 0:39:29 | 0:39:34 | |
"I cannot believe this is happening to me! I want you to stop calling my parents! Do you hear me?" | 0:39:34 | 0:39:39 | |
"DO YOU HEAR ME? You have to agree to that! My father is ill! | 0:39:39 | 0:39:45 | |
"He cannot stand it! You have no right..." | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |
-CLATTERING -I'm so sorry, Miss. I had no idea you were in here. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:51 | |
-I didn't realise you wanted to listen to something in here! -Don't worry, Betty. It's my fault. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:57 | |
I had to listen to something for the film I'm playing a part in. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:02 | |
-Going out, Papa? -Hello, darling. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:12 | |
Yes. To the club, where the atmosphere will be feverish, I'm sure. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:17 | |
I need to talk to you, when you have a moment. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:21 | |
Not now, darling. There have been developments. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:24 | |
The world goes on moving faster and faster | 0:40:24 | 0:40:26 | |
and I am not at all sure we can stop that. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:29 | |
-More gramophone records, I see. -Yes. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:33 | |
I thought you gave everything back to Mr Balcombe. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:36 | |
-What is that? -This is a real foxtrot, for once. -Is it? | 0:40:37 | 0:40:42 | |
Good. We don't want to give Mr Balcombe an excuse to return. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:48 | |
No, that would not be good. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:50 | |
We'll talk... when this crisis is over. | 0:40:55 | 0:40:59 | |
DANCE MUSIC PLAYS | 0:40:59 | 0:41:02 | |
I love them having a party next door as the balloon's going up. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:06 | |
Is the balloon going up? | 0:41:06 | 0:41:08 | |
Now? I should have been listening to the wireless more. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:11 | |
It may or may not be going up. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:14 | |
Should we be held to our promise to Poland? | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
Do we really want to go to war for them? | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
And can this be happening all over again? | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
That's what's going on. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:25 | |
They're all travelling back from their country estates as we speak. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
It's as bad as that. There's nothing you can do, Glorious. You go on making your movie. Cheer people up. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:35 | |
-I can't just do that, I have to do something more. -No, this is good advice. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:41 | |
It's an absolutely splendid thing to cheer people up. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:45 | |
They're not going to do our scene today. They've told us to go. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:52 | |
Not today? I don't believe it! | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
-We will never be needed. -The weather's not right, apparently. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:58 | |
I've managed to get my father's chauffeur to come and pick us up. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:02 | |
Will you come home with me, Gilbert? | 0:42:03 | 0:42:06 | |
Who could resist such an invitation? | 0:42:06 | 0:42:08 | |
I want to play you something, in private. It's this gramophone record. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:13 | |
-You're so much better informed about everything than I am. -Flattery as well! Today is looking up! | 0:42:13 | 0:42:18 | |
We have to pick up my brother and sister. They've been to a ball. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:21 | |
-It's not too far. -This is the way to travel for a poor boy like me. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:28 | |
Always dreamt I'd have a car like this as an actor. Hasn't happened yet. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:36 | |
Never got above the title. Not even once. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:40 | |
Time for some riotous living, | 0:42:42 | 0:42:44 | |
for no one has any idea what's going to happen tomorrow. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:47 | |
So, what's the tune you want to play me? | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
It's not a tune, it's a conversation. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:56 | |
It's a recording of a meeting. I found it among things Mr Balcombe was storing with us in Norfolk. | 0:43:06 | 0:43:12 | |
There was another record, as well, of Hector screaming, really upset. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:17 | |
-The man who killed himself? Where is it? I'd like to hear that. -It's broken. It got smashed. -Ah. | 0:43:17 | 0:43:21 | |
-I know since the baby and the pushchair, you don't trust what I say. -When did I say that? | 0:43:21 | 0:43:26 | |
It's my fault I haven't read more about the political situation. I've been too bound up with my work. | 0:43:26 | 0:43:31 | |
But it's conceivable that the Secret Service are listening in and recording | 0:43:31 | 0:43:35 | |
-the conversations of those that are opposed to the government. That is possible? -Extremely possible. -Yes. | 0:43:35 | 0:43:42 | |
And that spying and these recordings could be used to put pressure on people, couldn't they? | 0:43:42 | 0:43:47 | |
-To blackmail them into silence if necessary. -That is possible, if risky. | 0:43:47 | 0:43:51 | |
-Yes. They wouldn't wish that to become public under any circumstances. -Of course not. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:55 | |
Imagine what supporters of Churchill would do with it. It'd bring down the present leadership, | 0:43:55 | 0:44:00 | |
Churchill would become Prime Minister and that would lead to a bolder approach to Germany. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:05 | |
Blackmail. Well, I never. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:09 | |
Although it's...possible, of course, that elements in the Secret Service | 0:44:09 | 0:44:14 | |
are taking things further than the Prime Minister intended. Is that what's on there? | 0:44:14 | 0:44:18 | |
Oh, no, no. It's merely a boring meeting. | 0:44:18 | 0:44:22 | |
But I thought perhaps you would know who the people were. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:25 | |
Why would they record a boring meeting? | 0:44:25 | 0:44:27 | |
Perhaps because somebody couldn't be there and they didn't want notes taken? | 0:44:27 | 0:44:31 | |
-Yes. -That's just a slightly drunken actor's guess. | 0:44:31 | 0:44:34 | |
But now, if war comes, none of this matters. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:38 | |
On the contrary, my dear, it will matter all the more. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:41 | |
Some of these people don't want a war. | 0:44:41 | 0:44:44 | |
They certainly don't want Churchill as Prime Minister. They want this country to be left alone. | 0:44:44 | 0:44:49 | |
They don't care what's happening in Europe as long as this lovely place is not disturbed. | 0:44:49 | 0:44:54 | |
They'll probably want to make peace as soon as they can, maybe at any price, | 0:44:54 | 0:44:59 | |
and give Hitler all sorts of things in return. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:02 | |
But we shouldn't worry about that because we will be looking down at everybody from a cinema screen | 0:45:03 | 0:45:08 | |
dressed in ludicrous Victorian dress. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:12 | |
That is, if we ever get our call. | 0:45:12 | 0:45:15 | |
Hello! Hello, down there! | 0:45:53 | 0:45:57 | |
-There you are! -You're so early. You're much too early. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:05 | |
It is nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, Celia. | 0:46:05 | 0:46:08 | |
You missed something gorgeous. | 0:46:08 | 0:46:10 | |
There were exotic birds and fountains of gold water. | 0:46:10 | 0:46:13 | |
And Aunt Elizabeth is still here. Like me, she hasn't slept all night. | 0:46:13 | 0:46:18 | |
-So you've been up all night, Aunt Elizabeth? -Yes. Still to go to bed! | 0:46:21 | 0:46:26 | |
SHE LAUGHS I stayed up with the young people. Haven't done that for years. | 0:46:26 | 0:46:31 | |
What amazing times we live in! I was meant to go hours ago, but I never did. | 0:46:31 | 0:46:37 | |
HE CHUCKLES Oh, Mr Williams! Just the person I want to see. | 0:46:37 | 0:46:40 | |
-I am? -You must come over here, come on, | 0:46:40 | 0:46:43 | |
and hear what I've got to tell you. | 0:46:43 | 0:46:46 | |
I've been tidying up my house, or rather the servants have, | 0:46:48 | 0:46:52 | |
in case we have to run like mice, | 0:46:52 | 0:46:54 | |
and you'll never guess what they have unearthed. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:56 | |
My whole collection of theatre programmes, | 0:46:56 | 0:46:59 | |
-many of them featuring you. -No! | 0:46:59 | 0:47:01 | |
Mm! You in Richard II and in The Last Days of Pompeii. | 0:47:01 | 0:47:06 | |
-That's marvellous! I'd love to see them. -Would you? -Yes. | 0:47:06 | 0:47:10 | |
Well, you'll have to come with me now, because if this irritating war breaks out, | 0:47:10 | 0:47:15 | |
the whole thing will get scattered. You don't mind coming to my little house by St Paul's after tea? | 0:47:15 | 0:47:20 | |
-Not at all. That'd be thrilling. -Gilbert. | 0:47:20 | 0:47:23 | |
-My career in theatre programmes. I never kept anything. I was superstitious. -Gilbert. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:28 | |
-Milk? -Thank you. Hm? -We had an appointment. | 0:47:28 | 0:47:31 | |
Yes. Give me what you want me to listen to, dear, | 0:47:33 | 0:47:38 | |
the record, and I'll listen to it when I get home, I promise. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:42 | |
I'd have loved to have seen The Last Days of Pompeii. | 0:47:42 | 0:47:45 | |
-What? I didn't say anything. -RALPH LAUGHS | 0:47:47 | 0:47:51 | |
Where is he? | 0:48:00 | 0:48:02 | |
Where the hell is Mr Williams? | 0:48:02 | 0:48:04 | |
I'm late. | 0:48:13 | 0:48:15 | |
I'm late. | 0:48:17 | 0:48:19 | |
Well, come on! Come on, Gilbert! | 0:48:19 | 0:48:22 | |
-Where have you been? -Anne... | 0:48:24 | 0:48:27 | |
We have to go straight away, I'm afraid. No time for rehearsal. | 0:48:29 | 0:48:32 | |
It's clouding over, we're losing light. We need to film as soon as we can. Mark it. | 0:48:32 | 0:48:36 | |
House of Cheyney, scene 105, take 1. | 0:48:36 | 0:48:41 | |
-Action! -Uncle, I know you said not to take the job at the big house. | 0:48:43 | 0:48:49 | |
But the master has been so kind to me, and it is a fine opportunity. | 0:48:50 | 0:48:55 | |
There will be other opportunities. | 0:48:55 | 0:48:59 | |
I know you have your eye on him. But he is engaged to another | 0:48:59 | 0:49:04 | |
and, however much you hope, that situation will not change. | 0:49:04 | 0:49:10 | |
You should listen to me, Jenny. | 0:49:10 | 0:49:12 | |
Cut. Cut! Excuse me. Everyone, I have an announcement to make. | 0:49:12 | 0:49:16 | |
Apparently... | 0:49:16 | 0:49:19 | |
I'm not quite sure how to put it. We're now at war. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:23 | |
We're at war with Germany. | 0:49:23 | 0:49:26 | |
So it's happened. | 0:49:26 | 0:49:29 | |
I know this news is very shocking, but we still have a job to do. | 0:49:29 | 0:49:32 | |
I've asked for a wireless to be sent up. | 0:49:32 | 0:49:35 | |
When it arrives, we can gather round it, take an early tea break. | 0:49:35 | 0:49:38 | |
But for now, we'll pick up from where we were. Roll up. | 0:49:38 | 0:49:42 | |
-Action! -Do you understand, Anne? -Oh, yes, I think so. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:47 | |
Which bit do you think I don't understand? | 0:49:47 | 0:49:49 | |
That we're at war, or what "action" means? | 0:49:49 | 0:49:51 | |
Come on, for God's sake! Action! | 0:49:51 | 0:49:54 | |
-Thank you. -CAR DRIVES AWAY | 0:49:54 | 0:49:57 | |
You're not waiting for me, are you? | 0:49:59 | 0:50:02 | |
I'm sorry. It was a very long day. | 0:50:02 | 0:50:05 | |
-We've been watching the door. -Mama's gone to bed early. | 0:50:05 | 0:50:08 | |
-But we thought we should all be together. -We thought today of all days you might read to us. | 0:50:09 | 0:50:14 | |
"Thy love is better than high birth to me, | 0:50:14 | 0:50:19 | |
"richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost, | 0:50:19 | 0:50:24 | |
"of more delight than hawks or horses be. | 0:50:24 | 0:50:28 | |
"And having thee, of all men's pride I boast..." | 0:50:28 | 0:50:33 | |
-HE VOMITS -Goodness, Mick! | 0:50:40 | 0:50:43 | |
What did you do last night? | 0:50:43 | 0:50:46 | |
Sorry, miss, this is no place for you. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:47 | |
Come along. | 0:51:47 | 0:51:49 | |
You step outside. | 0:51:50 | 0:51:52 | |
I was just taking him his tea. | 0:52:09 | 0:52:11 | |
I was only a couple of minutes late. | 0:52:11 | 0:52:14 | |
He wasn't in his dressing room. | 0:52:14 | 0:52:16 | |
That's when I found him. | 0:52:16 | 0:52:18 | |
They say it looks like he shot himself. They said I shouldn't ask but...that's how it looks. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:23 | |
-Did you see a note? -I didn't see much. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:26 | |
-So you didn't see a note? -I couldn't really look at anything. | 0:52:26 | 0:52:29 | |
I was only a tiny bit late and...there he was. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:33 | |
I can't get through to them on location. I've called and called. His scene is very soon. | 0:52:34 | 0:52:39 | |
It would be terrible if they were expecting him. | 0:52:39 | 0:52:42 | |
-"WOMAN: Yes?" -Can I speak to Lawrence Newbolt, please? | 0:52:45 | 0:52:49 | |
"Putting you through. | 0:52:49 | 0:52:51 | |
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I was misinformed. Mr Newbolt is not here. He's gone to Paris." | 0:52:53 | 0:52:59 | |
To Paris? But he was in Scotland. | 0:52:59 | 0:53:03 | |
"He was in Scotland, and now he's in Paris. He went this morning." | 0:53:03 | 0:53:07 | |
This morning? | 0:53:07 | 0:53:10 | |
-When will he be back? -"That is classified, of course." | 0:53:10 | 0:53:13 | |
THUNDER RUMBLES | 0:53:13 | 0:53:16 | |
KNOCK AT DOOR | 0:53:27 | 0:53:30 | |
Darling, I've just seen the dreadful news in the evening newspaper about Mr Williams. I'm so sorry. | 0:53:30 | 0:53:36 | |
-You must be so upset. -Yes. | 0:53:41 | 0:53:45 | |
It was horrible. | 0:53:47 | 0:53:50 | |
-I really was very fond of him. -Does anybody know what happened? | 0:53:50 | 0:53:54 | |
They say he shot himself. | 0:53:54 | 0:53:57 | |
That's what it looks like. | 0:53:57 | 0:53:59 | |
But there wasn't a note. I waited for hours to see if they would find a note from him, | 0:54:02 | 0:54:06 | |
-a message. And they didn't. -He may not have written one. | 0:54:06 | 0:54:10 | |
It's an extraordinarily emotional time right now. For me, too. | 0:54:11 | 0:54:16 | |
It seems it was so recent, the last war. | 0:54:20 | 0:54:24 | |
And having been there myself, darling, having fought in that delightful show, | 0:54:26 | 0:54:31 | |
I can tell you, I dream about it nearly every night. | 0:54:31 | 0:54:35 | |
I know a lot of people are very confused. | 0:54:37 | 0:54:40 | |
And I don't want to seem hysterical or overdramatic... | 0:54:41 | 0:54:44 | |
You're an actress. Some of that is required. | 0:54:44 | 0:54:49 | |
-SHE LAUGHS -Yes, that's true. | 0:54:49 | 0:54:51 | |
And you are so bright and original, | 0:54:51 | 0:54:53 | |
full of your stories and drawings, always, never lost that. | 0:54:53 | 0:54:58 | |
Your comic knights and their adventures. | 0:54:58 | 0:55:00 | |
-Yes, and so I don't want it to seem as though I'm imagining things. -I understand. | 0:55:00 | 0:55:05 | |
And Gilbert may have killed himself, after all. But what if he didn't? | 0:55:05 | 0:55:10 | |
What if something else is going on? I mean, first Hector and then him. | 0:55:11 | 0:55:15 | |
Why would they concern themselves with Gilbert? | 0:55:15 | 0:55:18 | |
It doesn't seem likely, darling, that they're linked. | 0:55:18 | 0:55:22 | |
I love you. | 0:55:22 | 0:55:24 | |
No one knows what each day will bring at the moment, | 0:55:26 | 0:55:29 | |
and that's very disconcerting. | 0:55:29 | 0:55:31 | |
It applies to me, as well. | 0:55:31 | 0:55:33 | |
One thing is certain. | 0:55:33 | 0:55:36 | |
We won't let Mr Balcombe anywhere near us. | 0:55:36 | 0:55:40 | |
Whatever he's up to, | 0:55:40 | 0:55:43 | |
I will keep you safe. | 0:55:43 | 0:55:45 | |
Some things I'm still good at, darling. | 0:55:47 | 0:55:49 | |
I just heard the news. It's awful. | 0:55:52 | 0:55:56 | |
It is amazing how much has changed in a day. | 0:55:57 | 0:56:01 | |
It's incredible what you see. Coming through the park just now I thought I saw this huge silver beast. | 0:56:01 | 0:56:07 | |
-A silver beast? -It was, in fact, a barrage balloon being inflated, | 0:56:07 | 0:56:11 | |
but it was moving by itself along the ground. | 0:56:11 | 0:56:13 | |
And they say two million people are being evacuated today. | 0:56:15 | 0:56:20 | |
And lots and lots of people are having their pets put down. | 0:56:20 | 0:56:23 | |
-Their pets? -Mm. -Really? | 0:56:23 | 0:56:26 | |
-How awful! -Because they're leaving and there's nobody to look after them, | 0:56:26 | 0:56:30 | |
-or because they feel it's being responsible. -I may be going to America. | 0:56:30 | 0:56:35 | |
-To America? When are you going? -Maybe very soon. | 0:56:35 | 0:56:40 | |
Things keeps changing, but at the moment the government suggests I should go there | 0:56:41 | 0:56:45 | |
and try and raise funds for the war effort. Don't worry. Remember what I said. | 0:56:45 | 0:56:51 | |
PLANE ENGINES WHIRR So can you go down to Norfolk to look after Aunt Elizabeth? | 0:56:51 | 0:56:57 | |
She's staying down there. You know she hates to be alone. | 0:56:57 | 0:57:01 | |
Your mother will join you when she can. Won't you, darling? | 0:57:01 | 0:57:04 | |
I just need to leave this garden in the best state I can. | 0:57:04 | 0:57:07 | |
-It would be good if you could go to Norfolk, darling. -Yes. | 0:57:07 | 0:57:10 | |
They just want me at the studio for one more day to do some sound. | 0:57:10 | 0:57:14 | |
Miss Keyes! | 0:57:18 | 0:57:20 | |
These were in your dressing room. I don't know if you meant to leave them behind. | 0:57:22 | 0:57:26 | |
I think the cigarette case is Mr Williams'. | 0:57:26 | 0:57:29 | |
I didn't know who else to give it to. | 0:57:29 | 0:57:31 | |
-I didn't see this in my dressing room when I left. -It was in a cupboard right at the back. | 0:57:31 | 0:57:36 | |
It will be a shock seeing him again, Anne. | 0:57:36 | 0:57:38 | |
I know you'll find it distressing seeing Mr Williams springing back to life. | 0:57:38 | 0:57:42 | |
Yes, of course it's strange... so soon after. | 0:57:42 | 0:57:46 | |
Yes, that's why I thought we'd get it out of the way, get it done while we still can. | 0:57:46 | 0:57:50 | |
Who knows where we'll be next week? | 0:57:50 | 0:57:53 | |
You just need to do your first line again. There was some noise on it. | 0:57:54 | 0:57:57 | |
"Uncle, I know you said I shouldn't take the job at the big house..." | 0:57:59 | 0:58:02 | |
You look radiant up there, Anne, don't you think? | 0:58:04 | 0:58:06 | |
"..and it is a fine opportunity." | 0:58:06 | 0:58:09 | |
"There will be other opportunities. I know you have..." | 0:58:09 | 0:58:13 | |
Gilbert is a bit detached, isn't he? You can see it. | 0:58:13 | 0:58:16 | |
He wasn't quite there. | 0:58:16 | 0:58:18 | |
Obviously already decided what he was going to do. | 0:58:18 | 0:58:22 | |
Uncle, I know you think I shouldn't have taken the job...big house. | 0:58:24 | 0:58:30 | |
Is that... That was a bit off, I'm afraid. | 0:58:30 | 0:58:32 | |
Maybe you should watch the whole scene, get in the mood. | 0:58:33 | 0:58:37 | |
Perhaps we should have done that first. | 0:58:37 | 0:58:39 | |

"and how we might achieve them in practice. | 1:00:35 | 1:00:38 | |

Beatrice Townsend rang me yesterday. | 1:02:27 | 1:02:30 | |
She said at least there is one silver lining to this war, one won't have to wake up every Friday morning | 1:02:30 | 1:02:35 | |
wondering if one has got the guest list right for the weekend. | 1:02:35 | 1:02:38 | |
But I expect the competition between her and Emerald Cunard will begin again very soon. | 1:02:39 | 1:02:45 | |
They won't let a small thing like a war stop their entertaining. | 1:02:45 | 1:02:48 | |
And nor should they. Don't you agree? | 1:02:50 | 1:02:52 | |
-I agree it will take more than a war to stop them. -And we mustn't let it stop us, either. | 1:02:52 | 1:02:57 | |
We must stick together down here, my dear, or we will go absolutely mad. | 1:02:57 | 1:03:01 | |
We will do everything together. Listen to the wireless, play mah-jong, go to church, | 1:03:01 | 1:03:07 | |
-do everything like twin sisters. -Yes, Aunt Elizabeth. | 1:03:07 | 1:03:11 | |
Don't look so thoughtful, my dear. But, of course, you have had such a horrid shock. | 1:03:11 | 1:03:17 | |
Poor Mr Williams. I hope it wasn't seeing his whole career spread out | 1:03:18 | 1:03:22 | |
in the programmes from my collection that made him so desperate. | 1:03:22 | 1:03:26 | |

We're going to do everything together, remember? | 1:04:04 | 1:04:07 | |
Come in here and let's listen to what the world is getting up to | 1:04:08 | 1:04:12 | |
and if we should take it seriously. | 1:04:12 | 1:04:14 | |
I can usually only enjoy the countryside in very small doses. | 1:04:18 | 1:04:22 | |
But it is very peaceful here. | 1:04:23 | 1:04:26 | |
The war seems such a long way off. | 1:04:27 | 1:04:29 | |
Although, since no bombs are dropping anywhere, | 1:04:30 | 1:04:33 | |
maybe London is this quiet. | 1:04:33 | 1:04:35 | |
Do you know what's happening with Papa? | 1:04:40 | 1:04:43 | |
-Have you heard from him? -No, I haven't. | 1:04:43 | 1:04:46 | |
But then he dislikes using the telephone almost as much as I do. | 1:04:46 | 1:04:49 | |
We don't seem to be alone. | 1:04:53 | 1:04:55 | |
Anyone we know? | 1:04:57 | 1:05:00 | |
Apparently not. | 1:05:03 | 1:05:05 | |
Just have to change my shoes, dear, after that country walk. | 1:05:16 | 1:05:21 | |
You've got my other shoes, haven't you? | 1:05:21 | 1:05:23 | |
-Let me help you. -Oh, thank you, my dear. | 1:05:23 | 1:05:26 | |
I'm so glad you're here to keep me company, my dear. | 1:05:31 | 1:05:35 | |
Thank you. | 1:05:35 | 1:05:38 | |
And now I am going to spoil it all and ask you just to scrape the shoes. | 1:05:43 | 1:05:48 | |
Because if I put those shoes into the bag like that, | 1:05:48 | 1:05:51 | |
they'll make these shoes all muddy on the way back. | 1:05:51 | 1:05:54 | |

There you are, my dear. I was just telling the vicar, | 1:06:12 | 1:06:15 | |
we must do some fundraising for the restoration. | 1:06:15 | 1:06:18 | |
After all, it was our family that built this church. | 1:06:18 | 1:06:20 | |
And what a good job they made of it. | 1:06:20 | 1:06:23 | |
Hopefully we'll still be looking after it in another thousand years. | 1:06:23 | 1:06:27 | |
It must be marvellous to end up being part of such a family. | 1:06:27 | 1:06:30 | |
"To end up"? I haven't just joined, you know? | 1:06:30 | 1:06:33 | |
Of course. A slip of the tongue. | 1:06:33 | 1:06:36 | |
I meant such an old, established family. The sense of history. | 1:06:36 | 1:06:40 | |

Hello again. | 1:12:40 | 1:12:42 | |
I don't suppose you're going to tell me how long I am going to be held here. | 1:12:46 | 1:12:50 | |

-Glorious! What are you doing? What has happened to you? -Thank God you're here! | 1:13:54 | 1:13:59 | |
Papa got a call from these soldiers saying you'd been detained! They called the Houses of Parliament. | 1:13:59 | 1:14:05 | |
Aunt Elizabeth telephoned to say you rushed out coughing | 1:14:05 | 1:14:08 | |
like you were about to die in the middle of choir practice. The vicar was heartbroken. | 1:14:08 | 1:14:12 | |
-Why did you do that, Glorious? -I had to...get away. | 1:14:12 | 1:14:18 | |
I've got a bit of a confession to make. | 1:14:21 | 1:14:24 | |
Although it won't come as a great surprise. | 1:14:24 | 1:14:26 | |
I'm terribly in love. | 1:14:27 | 1:14:30 | |
I'm so in love with Lawrence, I couldn't bear to be away from him, shut away in the country. | 1:14:31 | 1:14:36 | |
I had this incredible urge to see him. | 1:14:36 | 1:14:39 | |
How wonderful, darling! That's fantastic! | 1:14:39 | 1:14:43 | |
That is pretty romantic, Glorious, yes. | 1:14:43 | 1:14:45 | |
And we've got news. There's a party tonight at the Foreign Office and we've helped arrange it. | 1:14:45 | 1:14:50 | |
Nothing can stop parties happening, especially not this one. It's all the ambassadors. | 1:14:50 | 1:14:55 | |
-Lawrence is going to be there, too. Isn't that good timing? -He is? | 1:14:55 | 1:15:00 | |
And now you've been detained, you've got to come, too. | 1:15:00 | 1:15:03 | |
-Dawson will drive your car back. -I thought it was dangerous to drive. | 1:15:06 | 1:15:10 | |
Apparently it is! That's why you shouldn't be driving it. | 1:15:10 | 1:15:14 | |
But Dawson's expendable, isn't he? Lots more where you came from, aren't there? | 1:15:15 | 1:15:19 | |
I get to drive the Rolls, which is terrific. Come on, Glorious. | 1:15:19 | 1:15:23 | |
We're hosts to tonight's party, remember. Lots to do! | 1:15:23 | 1:15:26 | |
Yes, including a hot bath for you, darling. You look a real country girl like that! | 1:15:26 | 1:15:30 | |
You'll have time to have a really good wallow before you see him. | 1:15:35 | 1:15:38 | |
You see, everything's gone now. | 1:15:42 | 1:15:44 | |
It's all in storage. | 1:15:44 | 1:15:47 | |
And with the whole town blacked out, isn't it strange, darling? Like being in another place completely. | 1:15:47 | 1:15:53 | |
-On the moon or something! -You look so lovely. | 1:15:53 | 1:15:56 | |
Why, thank you! | 1:15:56 | 1:15:59 | |
I am the hostess of this party, in a way, so I'm just a tiny bit nervous. | 1:16:00 | 1:16:04 | |
It's part of my new job. I'm attached to the Court of St James now! | 1:16:04 | 1:16:08 | |
So I'm going to need to go a little early. | 1:16:08 | 1:16:10 | |
That's fine. I'll escort Anne. We'll go together. | 1:16:10 | 1:16:13 | |
All right. | 1:16:14 | 1:16:16 | |
-I must volunteer, too. I have to do something for the war effort. -No, Glorious. | 1:16:16 | 1:16:20 | |
-You don't have to do that. You're an actress. That's what you keep doing. -Ah! But talking of volunteering... | 1:16:20 | 1:16:26 | |
A lot of our childhood things down here. | 1:16:30 | 1:16:32 | |

CAT MEOWS | 1:16:37 | 1:16:39 | |
Do you recognise him? It's Bombardier. | 1:16:43 | 1:16:46 | |
Yes, of course. Aunt Elizabeth's cat. | 1:16:46 | 1:16:49 | |
So, darling, this is a little bit nasty, | 1:16:49 | 1:16:51 | |
but Aunt Elizabeth wants him put down because she's shut up her house and left London. | 1:16:51 | 1:16:56 | |
I was going to take him to the vet, but now you're here, could you do it? | 1:16:56 | 1:17:00 | |
I'm needed at work, you see. And I can't ask one of the servants to do it. | 1:17:01 | 1:17:05 | |
And I would be so upset taking him anyway! | 1:17:06 | 1:17:09 | |
-Will you do it? -Well, if that's what has to be done. | 1:17:09 | 1:17:13 | |
You look so good, Glorious. | 1:17:20 | 1:17:22 | |
-Here you are! So far, no disasters. -They haven't started throwing things? Give them time! | 1:17:22 | 1:17:29 | |
Argentina has been extremely talkative. And, of course, America. | 1:17:29 | 1:17:33 | |
Mr Kennedy goes on about how much stronger Germany is than us | 1:17:33 | 1:17:36 | |
and how everything is over for us and we'd better realise it! | 1:17:36 | 1:17:39 | |
Darling, you must go downstairs to the other party. That's altogether more fun. | 1:17:39 | 1:17:44 | |
Now, I have a series of flags here, these little flags, | 1:17:55 | 1:18:00 | |
and somewhere on the map of the world over here | 1:18:00 | 1:18:03 | |
is some treasure! CHILDREN GASP | 1:18:03 | 1:18:05 | |
So you stick your flag wherever you think the treasure is, | 1:18:05 | 1:18:09 | |
and whoever is the nearest will get a rather marvellous prize! | 1:18:09 | 1:18:12 | |
CHILDREN GASP AND LAUGH So come on, everybody, take a flag. | 1:18:12 | 1:18:16 | |
EXCITED SHOUTING | 1:18:16 | 1:18:18 | |
Darling! There you are! | 1:18:18 | 1:18:21 | |
-It's terrific to see you. -You're not angry with me for leaving Norfolk? | 1:18:26 | 1:18:31 | |
Of course not. I understand. Would you take this and organise the treasure hunt? | 1:18:31 | 1:18:35 | |
-Children, Ralph here will now be in charge! -Gladly. | 1:18:35 | 1:18:38 | |
Just don't forget to tell me where the treasure is. | 1:18:38 | 1:18:41 | |
It's all the children of the ambassadors in London. Poor things. | 1:18:41 | 1:18:45 | |
They don't know if they'll be travelling back to their countries. | 1:18:45 | 1:18:48 | |
-They don't know what's happening. -A bit like us. | 1:18:48 | 1:18:51 | |
A bit like us, yes. | 1:18:51 | 1:18:54 | |
I should never have sent you to the country with Aunt Elizabeth. | 1:18:54 | 1:18:58 | |
How could I have done that? You belong here, with all of us. | 1:18:58 | 1:19:02 | |
Fantastic. | 1:19:02 | 1:19:04 | |
-Now you must go and get yourself some jelly. -Some jelly? Why? | 1:19:04 | 1:19:10 | |
-Oh, Lawrence! -Hello, darling. | 1:19:19 | 1:19:21 | |
Oh, I didn't know whether I'd ever see you again. | 1:19:23 | 1:19:26 | |
-I didn't know whether you'd really be here. -Yes, they suddenly sent me to France. Don't cry. | 1:19:26 | 1:19:31 | |
I'm not cry... I'm not crying. | 1:19:31 | 1:19:34 | |
It's just, for a moment, everything seemed all right, and I know it isn't. | 1:19:35 | 1:19:39 | |
Now then, when we've got all our flags pinned up, | 1:19:39 | 1:19:42 | |
-I think we should have a bit of a sing-song. -Sing-song? -What about a song from each of your countries? | 1:19:42 | 1:19:47 | |
-Like the sound of that? -ALL: Yes! | 1:19:47 | 1:19:49 | |
-Something terrible is going on. -I know. | 1:19:49 | 1:19:53 | |
-Ralph is involved. -Yes, I know that, too. | 1:19:53 | 1:19:56 | |
You know? Do you think he realises the full extent of what they're doing? | 1:19:56 | 1:20:00 | |
-Maybe he doesn't. -I don't know the answer. -He's my brother. I can't believe he would... | 1:20:00 | 1:20:06 | |
-I want to believe he couldn't. -What I've found out is that there's a group of them in the Secret Service | 1:20:07 | 1:20:13 | |
and a motley collection of other people, including some very determined aristocrats, | 1:20:13 | 1:20:18 | |
who are trying to bring this war to an end before it's even started. | 1:20:18 | 1:20:21 | |
They think we have no chance. They want to do a deal with Hitler. | 1:20:21 | 1:20:24 | |
I think they killed my friend Gilbert. | 1:20:24 | 1:20:27 | |
-They blackmailed Hector... -And they are very dangerous. | 1:20:27 | 1:20:30 | |
# Be there at our waking, your faith, ah, we pray | 1:20:30 | 1:20:35 | |
# Your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break of the day | 1:20:35 | 1:20:41 | |
They drove Hector to kill himself. | 1:20:41 | 1:20:44 | |
-I've got a recording of a meeting. -Can you give it to me? -I don't have it here. | 1:20:44 | 1:20:49 | |
I really have to have it. Proof is invaluable. | 1:20:50 | 1:20:53 | |
I must get it tomorrow. We'll meet in the morning. Some place where I won't be followed. | 1:20:53 | 1:20:58 | |
SHE SINGS IN FRENCH | 1:20:58 | 1:21:02 | |
I know. The vets. | 1:21:06 | 1:21:09 | |
-The vet? -Yes. I have to take a cat to be put down. We could meet there. | 1:21:10 | 1:21:14 | |
Yes, that sounds rather perfect. | 1:21:14 | 1:21:17 | |
It's all right. It's all right. We are in love. | 1:21:23 | 1:21:27 | |
-Are we? -That's what I told him, and that's what he's going to see. | 1:21:28 | 1:21:32 | |
Not in front of the children, Glorious! | 1:21:36 | 1:21:40 | |
Come along. | 1:21:40 | 1:21:42 | |
If we use your idea, I'd better get the address of a vet. | 1:21:46 | 1:21:49 | |
-We can't use one near the house. It has to be out of the way, in the suburbs. You understand? -Yes. | 1:21:49 | 1:21:55 | |
-I'll do that now, use the great resources of the building. -No, don't go. -I won't be a moment. | 1:21:55 | 1:22:01 | |
ALL: # He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang | 1:22:01 | 1:22:06 | |
# And he won the heart of a lady | 1:22:06 | 1:22:11 | |
Now we've started the singing, we'll have to do every single country! Not my most brilliant idea. | 1:22:15 | 1:22:21 | |
Come with me, Glorious. I've got something to show you. | 1:22:24 | 1:22:28 | |
-Come with you where? -Follow me. It's important. I think you should come, as well. | 1:22:28 | 1:22:32 | |
-It's such a big basement. Where are we going? -You've only seen a corner of it. | 1:22:38 | 1:22:42 | |
TYPEWRITER CLICKS | 1:22:50 | 1:22:52 | |
Right. Come on in. This is Miss Semel. | 1:22:54 | 1:22:56 | |
-She's working late. -She is. | 1:22:56 | 1:22:59 | |
Now, we have two things for you, Anne. | 1:22:59 | 1:23:03 | |
-Your identity card... -That was quick. | 1:23:03 | 1:23:06 | |
Splendid. I asked Ralph to arrange it, and that is quick. | 1:23:06 | 1:23:09 | |
Rather a long walk to get to it, though. | 1:23:09 | 1:23:12 | |
That's perfect. There you are. You have your card. You're officially you. | 1:23:12 | 1:23:16 | |
I'd better get back to the ambassadors. I've spent too much time with the children. | 1:23:17 | 1:23:21 | |
They're so much more interesting. | 1:23:21 | 1:23:24 | |
-I'll come with you. -Just a moment. -What is it? | 1:23:24 | 1:23:28 | |
-Why are you running away? -I'm not running away. Why would I do that? | 1:23:28 | 1:23:35 | |
I don't know. I found out the other thing, | 1:23:36 | 1:23:41 | |
the one we talked about. | 1:23:41 | 1:23:43 | |
It seems a rather appropriate moment to do it, to go with the card. If you want. | 1:23:43 | 1:23:48 | |
You mean about my parents? | 1:23:48 | 1:23:50 | |
Do you want to hear or do you want to run off? | 1:23:51 | 1:23:54 | |
All right. Why not? | 1:23:55 | 1:23:57 | |
-Good night, Miss Semel. -Good night. | 1:23:57 | 1:24:00 | |
I think you will be pleased. | 1:24:02 | 1:24:04 | |
It explains your theatrical bent. Well, I think it does. | 1:24:05 | 1:24:10 | |
They were a Romany family. | 1:24:11 | 1:24:14 | |
Your parents were gypsies. | 1:24:14 | 1:24:16 | |
There are no pictures, sadly. One of them must've been blonde, mustn't they? | 1:24:24 | 1:24:29 | |
Maybe they had Russian blood. | 1:24:29 | 1:24:31 | |
Thank you. You're right. I do like the idea. | 1:24:33 | 1:24:38 | |
I see nothing wrong in coming from gypsies. | 1:24:40 | 1:24:42 | |
I think I'll go back to the party now. | 1:24:44 | 1:24:46 | |
Hello? | 1:25:00 | 1:25:03 | |
Walter! How are you here? | 1:25:14 | 1:25:16 | |
-You were in church this morning! -You're here, and you were in the church. | 1:25:16 | 1:25:20 | |
Why are you here? I didn't realise you were the son of an ambassador. | 1:25:20 | 1:25:24 | |
-They thought I might be able to contribute to the party. -I'm sure you will be. Excuse me. | 1:25:24 | 1:25:30 | |
Anne! | 1:25:35 | 1:25:37 | |
-Don't you realise? -Don't I realise what? | 1:25:38 | 1:25:41 | |
They don't love you. | 1:25:43 | 1:25:45 | |
Lawrence! Thank God it's you. | 1:26:02 | 1:26:05 | |
What is this? I wasn't that long. | 1:26:05 | 1:26:09 | |
-Here, have some more. -Oh, thank you. | 1:26:10 | 1:26:13 | |
I have an address for you. | 1:26:16 | 1:26:18 | |
-You can find out anything here. -Yes, I've just discovered that. | 1:26:18 | 1:26:21 | |
We'll meet there. Put the evidence you have into an envelope | 1:26:21 | 1:26:25 | |
-and address it to someone other than me. -Right. Who? | 1:26:25 | 1:26:28 | |
-Doesn't matter. Anyone. Winston Churchill. -SHE LAUGHS | 1:26:28 | 1:26:32 | |
-Will they follow me there? -No. | 1:26:32 | 1:26:35 | |
Keep an eye out, but I don't think so. | 1:26:35 | 1:26:37 | |
They won't follow you into the vet. They're far too squeamish. | 1:26:37 | 1:26:41 | |
-There you are, darling. -I'm off to take Bombardier to the vet for... | 1:26:44 | 1:26:47 | |
-Well, you know what for. -Yes. What things have come to. | 1:26:47 | 1:26:51 | |
There may be lot of people there, so I could be a while. | 1:26:51 | 1:26:53 | |
By the way, Anne, | 1:26:53 | 1:26:56 | |
if it's not too much to ask, I think you should take Horatio, too. He needs to be done as well. | 1:26:56 | 1:27:01 | |
-Take our cat? Why? -Because if I'm going to the US next week, we'll be shutting up the house. | 1:27:01 | 1:27:06 | |
I'll take Bombardier because Aunt Elizabeth has asked for that to happen. | 1:27:07 | 1:27:11 | |
-I'll find another home for Horatio. I'm sure I can. -No, darling, we can't do that. | 1:27:11 | 1:27:17 | |
-A lot of other people are having to do this. -They can be told it's not necessary yet. | 1:27:17 | 1:27:21 | |
I find myself having to tell them that it is. | 1:27:21 | 1:27:24 | |
Anyway, we'll get Dawson to see to it. Don't worry yourself. | 1:27:27 | 1:27:31 | |
Come and sit with me and help me. I need your help. | 1:27:31 | 1:27:35 | |
No, I'm the only one who's not doing anything at the moment, | 1:27:36 | 1:27:39 | |
so I should do it, if that's what's required. | 1:27:39 | 1:27:42 | |
I will take the cats to be put to sleep and then I will come back and help you. | 1:27:42 | 1:27:47 | |
There's no school anymore. | 1:27:57 | 1:27:59 | |
These children haven't been evacuated, so they're running wild. | 1:27:59 | 1:28:03 | |
We'll find Lawrence, but I won't let anything happen to you. | 1:28:05 | 1:28:09 | |
I'll find a way. | 1:28:14 | 1:28:17 | |

Excuse me. Have you filled out your form? | 1:28:35 | 1:28:38 | |
My form? What form? No. I've only just arrived. | 1:28:40 | 1:28:44 | |
-Are you here to have your pets put down? -I'm...meeting someone first. I have to see him. | 1:28:44 | 1:28:49 | |
You can't join the queue until you've filled out a consent form. All those people have, so must you. | 1:28:49 | 1:28:54 | |
Sit out there and fill out a form. WOMAN SOBS | 1:28:54 | 1:28:58 | |
Excuse me. Has anyone been asking for Miss Keyes? | 1:28:59 | 1:29:03 | |
No, Miss. | 1:29:03 | 1:29:05 | |
-DOG WHINES -Mrs Evans? | 1:29:07 | 1:29:10 | |
I...I haven't quite finished filling it out. | 1:29:22 | 1:29:25 | |
-I haven't signed it because I'm merely... -That'll do. Not everybody signs them. | 1:29:25 | 1:29:29 | |
-As long as it's filled out. -Has anybody asked for me? I was meeting with someone here, and until then... | 1:29:29 | 1:29:36 | |
-You may come in, Miss... -Miss Keyes. | 1:29:36 | 1:29:39 | |
Miss Keyes. | 1:29:39 | 1:29:41 | |
But I...haven't joined the queue. | 1:29:41 | 1:29:44 | |
I don't want to queue-jump. I've only just done the form. | 1:29:44 | 1:29:47 | |
Please, come in here, Miss Keyes. | 1:29:47 | 1:29:50 | |
And bring your cats with you, of course. | 1:29:50 | 1:29:52 | |
DOG BARKS | 1:29:52 | 1:29:55 | |
We're being inundated at the moment. | 1:29:59 | 1:30:02 | |
I think because we have the space to deal with large animals as well, | 1:30:02 | 1:30:06 | |
which you don't get in the centre of town. | 1:30:06 | 1:30:08 | |
But it is amazing how quickly one gets used to such things. | 1:30:08 | 1:30:11 | |
-Why have I jumped the queue? -You seemed to us to be a little agitated. | 1:30:11 | 1:30:16 | |
Agitated? There are people crying out there. | 1:30:16 | 1:30:20 | |
-I think I'm quite calm in comparison. -We like people to be certain about what they're doing, | 1:30:20 | 1:30:25 | |
and you seemed rather upset and nervous. | 1:30:25 | 1:30:28 | |
-Believe me, I can tell. -Well...maybe I just need a little time, to sit and consider, | 1:30:28 | 1:30:35 | |
-and until I meet my friend, I really won't... -I thought so. | 1:30:35 | 1:30:39 | |
We have a little room, just through there, precisely for that purpose, | 1:30:39 | 1:30:43 | |
for people to make sure. It's best you use it. | 1:30:43 | 1:30:47 | |

You're next. Shame, really, cos you're so sweet. | 1:33:44 | 1:33:47 | |
Yes. There's four left. | 1:33:48 | 1:33:50 | |
-Have the others gone home? -The others have gone home. | 1:33:50 | 1:33:53 | |
It's such a shame. | 1:33:54 | 1:33:57 | |
I've changed my mind. | 1:34:00 | 1:34:03 | |
I'm not ready to do this. Thank you for giving me time to reconsider. | 1:34:03 | 1:34:08 | |
We must call you a taxi. Miss Keyes? | 1:34:08 | 1:34:11 | |
-You can't manage like that. -Miss Keyes! | 1:34:11 | 1:34:15 | |
You're not safe with me now. | 1:34:23 | 1:34:26 | |

SHE GASPS | 1:34:57 | 1:35:00 | |
Hello. | 1:35:09 | 1:35:11 | |
Can you do something for me? | 1:35:11 | 1:35:13 | |
I... I need you to post this. | 1:35:17 | 1:35:20 | |
I'll...I'll give you some money. | 1:35:20 | 1:35:24 | |
It needs a stamp. | 1:35:24 | 1:35:26 | |
You'll get a stamp for it? | 1:35:26 | 1:35:29 | |
It's really urgent. | 1:35:31 | 1:35:34 | |
Anne! | 1:36:00 | 1:36:02 | |
Anne! Where are you? | 1:36:04 | 1:36:07 | |
Here she is. | 1:36:09 | 1:36:11 | |
I thought some homemade lemonade might do the trick. | 1:36:12 | 1:36:16 | |
I knew she was upset. | 1:36:16 | 1:36:18 | |
People do find it upsetting. | 1:36:18 | 1:36:20 | |
I'll just leave it here, shall I? | 1:36:21 | 1:36:24 | |
Why are you here? | 1:36:30 | 1:36:33 | |
They found your number on the form | 1:36:33 | 1:36:36 | |
and phoned me to say you were distraught, | 1:36:36 | 1:36:39 | |
and when I got here, you'd run out with the cats onto the common. | 1:36:39 | 1:36:44 | |
Why did you come right out here, darling, to this place? | 1:36:44 | 1:36:48 | |
I don't know. | 1:36:50 | 1:36:52 | |
I couldn't bear to do it near home. | 1:36:53 | 1:36:56 | |
-I let them go. -You let them go? | 1:36:58 | 1:37:01 | |
Well, why not? | 1:37:03 | 1:37:05 | |
It's terrible. Look what's happened in just a few days. | 1:37:06 | 1:37:12 | |
It's like a vision of hell, isn't it? | 1:37:12 | 1:37:15 | |
Animals going onto a fire in a quiet English suburb. | 1:37:15 | 1:37:20 | |

Maybe we need something stronger than lemonade. | 1:37:34 | 1:37:37 | |
Here, darling. | 1:37:38 | 1:37:41 | |
Are you aware... of what they are doing? | 1:37:57 | 1:38:01 | |
They're doing something awful. | 1:38:03 | 1:38:05 | |
Who, darling? | 1:38:05 | 1:38:08 | |
Are you doing it, too? | 1:38:11 | 1:38:14 | |
DISTANT CHURCH BELLS CHIME | 1:38:22 | 1:38:26 | |
Darling, you're back with us. | 1:38:30 | 1:38:33 | |
This noise doesn't help, does it? It's just somebody's wedding. | 1:38:34 | 1:38:39 | |
-You're in Aunt Elizabeth's house. -I thought her house was all shut up. | 1:38:40 | 1:38:45 | |
Our home is being used for other things. This is Mrs Knight. | 1:38:45 | 1:38:49 | |
She will look after you. | 1:38:51 | 1:38:53 | |

Where are you going? | 1:39:37 | 1:39:39 | |
Don't you realise? We want people to feel defeated, | 1:39:45 | 1:39:49 | |
to feel there is no hope. | 1:39:49 | 1:39:51 | |
That way we can do our deal with Germany. | 1:39:51 | 1:39:54 | |
-SHE SCREAMS -Get out! Get away from here! Get out! | 1:39:59 | 1:40:05 | |
-Just leave for a moment. -Yes, leave the room. -Leave her alone. | 1:40:05 | 1:40:09 | |
What's happening to me? | 1:40:21 | 1:40:24 | |
This is just so you can rest, darling. | 1:40:29 | 1:40:32 | |
You've been ill. You must get better. | 1:40:32 | 1:40:36 | |
Are they poisoning me? | 1:40:36 | 1:40:39 | |
Poisoning you? | 1:40:39 | 1:40:42 | |
Of course not, darling. | 1:40:42 | 1:40:44 | |
I can still remember when I held you for the first time. | 1:40:44 | 1:40:49 | |
When you arrived to be with us, a bundle. | 1:40:49 | 1:40:53 | |
You came in a taxi with a nurse. | 1:40:56 | 1:40:59 | |
And when I held you and felt you heavy in my arms... | 1:40:59 | 1:41:04 | |
..it was the most beautiful present. | 1:41:05 | 1:41:09 | |
I could never let harm come to that. | 1:41:12 | 1:41:14 | |
So you loved me then? | 1:41:16 | 1:41:19 | |
Then? I love you! | 1:41:19 | 1:41:23 | |
CHURCH BELLS CHIME | 1:41:24 | 1:41:27 | |
I thought you'd never wake up. | 1:41:38 | 1:41:40 | |
I wish I hadn't. | 1:41:40 | 1:41:42 | |
You're not eating your food, I see. | 1:41:43 | 1:41:46 | |
Your father... asked me to pay you a visit. | 1:41:47 | 1:41:52 | |
My father? | 1:41:52 | 1:41:55 | |
-I don't believe you. -Of course. | 1:41:55 | 1:41:58 | |
He and I are working together. Have been for a long time. | 1:41:58 | 1:42:03 | |
Your father is a very influential person. | 1:42:03 | 1:42:06 | |
Charmingly absent-minded, but very, very influential. | 1:42:06 | 1:42:10 | |
He hides his true seriousness, my dear, except from those of us who really know him. | 1:42:10 | 1:42:14 | |
This recording of our meeting, the one you tried to post, | 1:42:18 | 1:42:21 | |
was made for him, of course. | 1:42:21 | 1:42:24 | |
I am sure you knew that, my dear. | 1:42:26 | 1:42:29 | |
All the records were for him. Why else would they have been stored at your house? | 1:42:30 | 1:42:36 | |
It's a little hot, isn't it? | 1:42:36 | 1:42:38 | |
We are using your house in London for a series of meetings. | 1:42:49 | 1:42:53 | |
Your father is chairing those meetings. | 1:42:53 | 1:42:58 | |
That is why you are here. | 1:42:58 | 1:43:01 | |
How simple it is, | 1:43:01 | 1:43:03 | |
and how very important. | 1:43:03 | 1:43:05 | |
Are you going to kill me? | 1:43:08 | 1:43:11 | |
My dear, what sort of question is that? | 1:43:11 | 1:43:14 | |
Even for an actress. Really! The adopted daughter of my old friend? | 1:43:15 | 1:43:19 | |
What could have given you such an idea? | 1:43:19 | 1:43:21 | |
INTERFERENCE ON RADIO | 1:43:35 | 1:43:38 | |
-What happened to her? -You think we know? | 1:43:57 | 1:44:00 | |
Yes, I think you do. | 1:44:00 | 1:44:03 | |
CHURCH BELLS CHIME | 1:44:04 | 1:44:07 | |
You are a little feverish, aren't you, darling, I think? | 1:44:07 | 1:44:10 | |
Hot and cold flushes. | 1:44:10 | 1:44:13 | |
-You've got a temperature. -Mr Balcombe was here. | 1:44:14 | 1:44:18 | |
You're mistaken, darling. Mr Balcombe was not here. | 1:44:19 | 1:44:21 | |
-I would never let him come back. -We don't need to see that spooky man ever again. | 1:44:23 | 1:44:28 | |
So quiet, isn't it? No children, no pets. | 1:44:32 | 1:44:35 | |
It's the most peculiar thing, the silence out there. | 1:44:37 | 1:44:39 | |
Except for the horrid bells. They're talking about stopping the bells ringing until the end of the war. | 1:44:41 | 1:44:47 | |
Talk about a silver lining! That would be simply marvellous. | 1:44:47 | 1:44:51 | |
Now we need to find you something delightful to eat. | 1:44:54 | 1:44:57 | |
I am not eating anything | 1:44:57 | 1:44:59 | |
until you stop putting something else in it. | 1:44:59 | 1:45:04 | |
Mr Balcombe was here. I didn't dream it. | 1:45:18 | 1:45:22 | |
-He had Lawrence killed. -You're feverish, darling. | 1:45:23 | 1:45:28 | |
You let that man come back and see me. How could you do that? | 1:45:28 | 1:45:32 | |
This war is a terrible thing, my dear. | 1:45:41 | 1:45:45 | |
As you know, I hate exaggeration, | 1:45:47 | 1:45:50 | |
but everything we believe in, | 1:45:50 | 1:45:53 | |
everything I believe in, democracy, culture, | 1:45:53 | 1:45:58 | |
will be destroyed if we get involved in this ruinous war. | 1:45:58 | 1:46:05 | |
I certainly don't sympathise with the Nazi ideology. | 1:46:05 | 1:46:09 | |
In fact, I rather despise it. | 1:46:09 | 1:46:12 | |
But there is absolutely no chance of us winning this war. | 1:46:12 | 1:46:16 | |
We will be completely destroyed unless we make peace. | 1:46:19 | 1:46:24 | |
And we are working to arrange that peace very hard. | 1:46:25 | 1:46:31 | |
Nothing must disturb that. | 1:46:32 | 1:46:35 | |
Ralph understands this. Celia understands it in her own way. | 1:46:37 | 1:46:43 | |
But somehow I knew... | 1:46:43 | 1:46:46 | |
..you wouldn't. | 1:46:47 | 1:46:49 | |
So we have to keep you here. | 1:46:51 | 1:46:54 | |
-To do what with? -To keep you safe. | 1:46:55 | 1:46:59 | |
I couldn't share certain things with you, | 1:47:01 | 1:47:04 | |
what I need to do for this country. | 1:47:04 | 1:47:07 | |
Maybe there are two sorts of love. | 1:47:09 | 1:47:11 | |
I don't want to be made to choose. | 1:47:14 | 1:47:16 | |

You've turned into a proper hostess when I wasn't looking. Ralph can go. | 1:47:53 | 1:47:58 | |
-He already... -Someone has to be here. We must monitor the situation. | 1:47:58 | 1:48:02 | |
Nobody would ever listen to Anne. She's got no evidence. But it is best we do this. | 1:48:02 | 1:48:06 | |
We can handle her. It's simple. We bring Mrs Knight back. | 1:48:06 | 1:48:09 | |
It's the best solution. Mrs Knight will get something down her that will keep her sedated for days. | 1:48:09 | 1:48:14 | |
And we can have an outing with the ambassadors' children. | 1:48:14 | 1:48:18 | |
You fucking bastards! You are nothing to do with me! | 1:48:18 | 1:48:23 | |
You will not bring that ghastly woman back here! | 1:48:33 | 1:48:37 | |
You think I'm going to let that bitch look after me? I will not let that fucking woman terrorise me! | 1:48:37 | 1:48:43 | |
Why are you looking like that? I don't see why you should be surprised. | 1:48:44 | 1:48:49 | |
I'm not frightened of you! | 1:48:49 | 1:48:51 | |
Remember, I am the child of gypsies! It was bound to come out sooner or later, what I'm really like! | 1:48:53 | 1:48:58 | |
That's what you think, isn't it? Well, here it is! | 1:48:58 | 1:49:01 | |
-Darling... -Don't you fucking "darling" me, you bastard! | 1:49:04 | 1:49:09 | |
You are nothing to do with me! | 1:49:09 | 1:49:12 | |
This is not the way, Glorious. | 1:49:12 | 1:49:14 | |
Will you just leave me alone with her? | 1:49:16 | 1:49:18 | |

Why don't you ever do what you're told? | 1:49:29 | 1:49:31 | |
Why do you insist that you always know best? | 1:49:32 | 1:49:36 | |
Because, in the end, what you never realised was you knew nothing! | 1:49:36 | 1:49:39 | |
Nothing that really mattered! | 1:49:39 | 1:49:41 | |
But you would not listen to me, would you? | 1:49:43 | 1:49:46 | |
I told you to get on with your life. | 1:49:46 | 1:49:49 | |
And now look at you. Look at you! | 1:49:49 | 1:49:53 | |
We just have to stop giving you water, Glorious, | 1:49:55 | 1:49:58 | |
and it's all over. | 1:49:58 | 1:50:01 | |
-What do we do now? -DOOR LOCK TURNS | 1:50:05 | 1:50:08 | |
We leave her! | 1:50:08 | 1:50:10 | |
SHE GRUNTS | 1:50:11 | 1:50:14 | |
It would depend on the condition. | 1:50:36 | 1:50:38 | |

Thank you, Mama. | 1:52:55 | 1:52:57 | |
Go. | 1:53:00 | 1:53:01 | |
-Walter. -Anne! What are you doing? | 1:53:23 | 1:53:26 | |
-I need to get away from here. -Come this way. I'll find you a taxi. | 1:53:28 | 1:53:33 | |
I will. | 1:53:33 | 1:53:35 | |
Who are those children? | 1:53:39 | 1:53:41 | |
-I thought all the children had been evacuated from around here. -They have. | 1:53:41 | 1:53:45 | |
There they are. You can join your family, Anne. | 1:54:06 | 1:54:09 | |
We're just giving the ambassadors' children a little outing. | 1:54:24 | 1:54:27 | |
-Come and help. -Come and join us, Anne. | 1:54:27 | 1:54:31 | |

-And none of us saw her again. -None of us. | 1:55:27 | 1:55:32 | |
She died, I believe, in Canada about 20 years ago. | 1:55:32 | 1:55:36 | |
We're the only ones left. | 1:55:36 | 1:55:38 | |
No words of condemnation for me? | 1:55:45 | 1:55:49 | |
No. You were... You were very young, after all. | 1:55:53 | 1:55:56 | |
I was a baby! And it was such a long time ago, nobody remembers. | 1:55:56 | 1:56:02 | |
I just did what they wanted. | 1:56:04 | 1:56:08 | |
I did what Mr Balcombe and the family wanted. | 1:56:08 | 1:56:13 | |
They said she needed to be taught a lesson. | 1:56:17 | 1:56:22 | |
I was only doing what was expected. | 1:56:30 | 1:56:33 | |
It was a very strange time back then. | 1:56:35 | 1:56:38 | |
I even tried to warn her. | 1:56:41 | 1:56:44 | |
They've all gone now. | 1:56:47 | 1:56:49 | |
Can't trouble us. | 1:56:50 | 1:56:52 | |
Can't trouble Walter. | 1:56:52 | 1:56:55 | |
Yes. I must go. | 1:56:57 | 1:57:00 | |
There is just one thing, a little favour. | 1:57:00 | 1:57:03 | |
Another one? | 1:57:03 | 1:57:06 | |
My mother arranged to meet me round here. | 1:57:07 | 1:57:10 | |
She would have been waiting a little while now. It's very close by. | 1:57:10 | 1:57:14 | |
If you could just come and say hello, I know she'd appreciate it. | 1:57:14 | 1:57:18 | |
Please. Will you come? | 1:57:18 | 1:57:22 | |

No, I know you didn't. | 1:59:00 | 1:59:02 | |
-You knew all along. -You knew! | 1:59:04 | 1:59:08 | |
We wanted to hear it from your own lips. | 1:59:09 | 1:59:11 | |
