parts of the capital.

Trains are stopped or running hours behind
schedule from major London railway stations.

3
00:00:08,660 --> 00:00:14,580
The Prime Minister is facing criticism for
failure to deal with the mounting crisis.

4
00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:19,275
London Airport is closed again
today, with all flights grounded.

00:00:19,275 --> 00:00:19,950
Male 1: Piss.

00:00:19,950 --> 00:00:23,550
Reporter: The unmoving fog, which
has spread to over 30 miles wide,

7
00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:27,000
is likely to cause complete darkness
by two o'clock this afternoon.

00:00:41,970 --> 00:00:43,330
Princess Elizabeth:
Are you all right?

10
00:00:44,930 --> 00:00:47,140
You're not.

11
00:00:47,390 --> 00:00:49,740
Come on, let's get you up.

12
00:00:49,740 --> 00:00:51,360
Queen Mary: No, no.

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,040
I'm fine. I promise.

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,810
It's just because
the window was open.

15
00:00:57,810 --> 00:00:59,385
Now, go to work.

16
00:00:59,385 --> 00:01:01,930
You've got a job to do.

17
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:13,860
Winston Churchill: Let us start
with the unrest in Egypt,

18
00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:19,650
where anti-colonial passions continue to run
high and where our soldiers continue to come

19
00:01:19,650 --> 00:01:22,440
under fire from
nationalist insurgents.

20
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:28,860
It is vital that we remain and
successfully defend the Suez Canal,

21
00:01:28,860 --> 00:01:33,360
a point that I will be making in
person to the Commonwealth heads

22
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,410
when I host them for the
weekend at Chequers.

23
00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:39,270
Queen Elizabeth II:
Weather permitting.

24
00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:41,025
Winston Churchill: Indeed.

25
00:01:41,025 --> 00:01:43,875
Queen Elizabeth II: What is the
latest information that you have?

26
00:01:43,875 --> 00:01:46,095
Winston Churchill:
About the weather?

27
00:01:46,095 --> 00:01:48,510
It's fog, ma'am.

28
00:01:48,510 --> 00:01:50,205
It will lift eventually.

29
00:01:50,205 --> 00:01:53,670
Queen Elizabeth II: I was hoping
for something more scientific.

30
00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:58,350
Winston Churchill: Then I will ensure
that a barometric report is included

31
00:01:58,350 --> 00:02:04,665
in your box tomorrow, complete
with isobars and isohumes.

32
00:02:04,665 --> 00:02:11,070
It has been an unusually cold winter and
there are only so many things that I,

33
00:02:11,070 --> 00:02:15,090
as Prime Minister, am prepared to
inflict on your subjects as a reward

34
00:02:15,090 --> 00:02:21,140
for winning a World War and prevailing
over fascism, evil, and tyranny.

35
00:02:21,140 --> 00:02:24,685
Letting them freeze
is not one of them.

36
00:02:24,685 --> 00:02:27,150
Queen Elizabeth II: You do
not seem unduly concerned.

37
00:02:27,150 --> 00:02:27,990
Winston Churchill: I'm not.

38
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:34,275
Queen Elizabeth II: You do know that my late
father wrote many years ago to your predecessors

39
00:02:34,275 --> 00:02:39,910
to express his deep concern about the inner city
power stations that your party was building.

40
00:02:41,450 --> 00:02:43,980
Winston Churchill: Indeed.

41
00:02:43,980 --> 00:02:50,160
And I was sympathetic with your
father's concerns at the time.

42
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,050
I also have sympathy with the leader
articles in the newspapers today,

43
00:02:55,050 --> 00:02:59,445
baying for blood,
wanting my head.

44
00:02:59,445 --> 00:03:02,970
People have to be
angry at someone.

45
00:03:02,970 --> 00:03:08,640
But as a leader, one cannot
simply react to everything.

46
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:10,410
We need the power stations.

47
00:03:10,410 --> 00:03:11,730
We need the coal.

48
00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:15,015
People need to burn coal
to warm their homes!

49
00:03:15,015 --> 00:03:16,485
It is weather.

50
00:03:16,485 --> 00:03:18,270
It will pass!

51
00:03:18,270 --> 00:03:20,565
Queen Elizabeth II:
Well, I do hope so.

52
00:03:20,565 --> 00:03:23,865
Not least because my husband's
mood is intolerable.

53
00:03:23,865 --> 00:03:25,455
Winston Churchill: Why?

54
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:28,260
Queen Elizabeth II: Well,
being caged in like this.

55
00:03:28,260 --> 00:03:30,490
He can't fly.

56
00:03:30,770 --> 00:03:33,075
Winston Churchill: Fly where?

57
00:03:33,075 --> 00:03:35,085
Queen Elizabeth
II: Well, nowhere.

58
00:03:35,085 --> 00:03:37,635
He's learning to fly.

59
00:03:37,635 --> 00:03:40,035
Winston Churchill: Whatever for?

60
00:03:40,035 --> 00:03:44,565
Have we not enough qualified pilots
to take him where he needs to go?

61
00:03:44,565 --> 00:03:46,905
Queen Elizabeth II: No,
he wants to fly himself.

62
00:03:46,905 --> 00:03:48,600
It's a boyhood dream.

63
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,890
It's what he's always wanted.

64
00:03:49,890 --> 00:03:51,645
Winston Churchill: Why was
government not consulted?

65
00:03:51,645 --> 00:03:53,520
Queen Elizabeth II: Because
it's a private matter.

66
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,125
And I am in favor.

67
00:03:55,125 --> 00:03:58,980
Winston Churchill: Nothing you or His
Royal Highness do is a private matter.

68
00:03:58,980 --> 00:04:00,900
And the father of
the future king

69
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:05,940
of England risking his life
needlessly is quite unacceptable!

70
00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:10,245
Queen Elizabeth II: Please, do not curtail
my husband's personal freedoms any further.

71
00:04:10,245 --> 00:04:11,985
You've taken away his home.

72
00:04:11,985 --> 00:04:13,815
You've taken away his name.

73
00:04:13,815 --> 00:04:17,295
There comes a time where one
must draw a line in the sand.

74
00:04:17,295 --> 00:04:20,445
Winston Churchill: And the job of drawing
that line falls to Cabinet, ma'am.

75
00:04:20,445 --> 00:04:21,570
Not to you.

76
00:04:21,570 --> 00:04:26,490
Something your dear late papa would certainly
have taught you had he been granted more time

77
00:04:26,490 --> 00:04:28,930
to complete your education!

78
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,730
And now, our time is up.

79
00:04:36,250 --> 00:04:38,835
Until next week.
