…aida!

On these occasions my dear I generally find that silence is gold.

…and speech is back.

…wait and see.

Dreadful thing madam, that's all through the window.

Well, it was a very ladylike spits Lindsay.

I'll be right back.

These are for the Prime Minister.

Put the flowers in water straight away,

but be sure you crash the bottoms of the stems first.

Put a little willow bark in the water.

This is curved with jelly, slightly more flaky,

but for then it is to eat it immediately.

And this is a haggis, uncanny for building stamina.

Do you even know how for contestants in the Highland Games?

If you take me to the kitchen I'll show cook how to prepare it.

I'm afraid cook is half of the moment this is asking.

Never mind, I'll send you a little note.

Oh, so every time I come here I see a new craft.

200 years and they still haven't got the foundations right?

The Tory party suffers from the same defect. How are you feet?

Well enough, thank you madam.

Are you still wearing those paid-in-dart supports I sent you?

Oh yes madam.

These have a bed drop of empiled in some never-for-death.

No madam.

And always keep your head covered in the coat.

Do you know it's a scientific fact that we lose half of our heat

through the top of our heads?

Goodbye, Lindsay.

Goodbye madam.

Bit of an old phosphoryntium insulin.

Don't you get her wrong, my lad?

In her days he was the hardest rider to Hans in the country

and that's including the men.

She's broken her nose, her ribs, an ecap, both collarbones,

fractured a skull, dislocated the jaw and had five concussions.

Ply me!

Your Majesty, CV.

How's that lively wife of yours?

Still getting herself into trouble sir.

I've never met a woman who made me laugh more.

None of us ever thought he would work between you two.

Give her my fund as we go.

I will indeed sir.

This film has got it into his head that he's going to die.

I've made it a royal command that he shall not.

So there's an end to it.

However, should I have the temerity to disobey?

We both want you to know that I should send for you at once.

Could you form a government?

Your Majesty, I am deeply conscious of the honour.

Of course.

Good. That's settled in.

Like to get at least one thing done in there.

No, don't.

Get up.

Glad to see you looking so well as a Henry.

Have you, back on the golf course in no time?

Ask with.

No.

I'll see about the day.

He's worth a dozen doctors.

But I've got a Henry.

I know that, and...

Yes, I know.

No, you've been my rock.

You know that?

Oh, rubbish.

Oh, no.

I don't just mean what you've done at the Exchequer.

Henry, you're the greatest gentleman of his life.

The greatest gentleman I've ever met.

You're different from the others.

I'm glad to have known you.

I changed your medicine about your Henry.

Softening a brain.

You're going to have to fight.

The battle that I could not win.

It'll be the most momentous parliamentary battle of the century.

On its outcome will depend whether this country

is going to be ruled by the House of Commons or the House of Lords.

They warned me, aren't they?

But you're the only man who can do it.

Thrash the Lord's Henry.

How much longer, Mr. Harris?

I'm old day now.

Lindsay, make sure they lay the carpet first.

Oh, shut them up.

That is a couple white, you know, not far from it.

Try to leave as a stick of furniture.

That doesn't look as though Mr. Churchill has been using it for sabre practice.

Move the best in the world, Mrs. Asquith.

To what? Tears?

Well, it's a very difficult house to move into.

Very easy to remove doubt of.

Look, I'll make a bargain with you.

Get us in without a scratch.

And I'll make sure you don't have to get us out for a very long time.

I wouldn't want to get you out.

Best stroke, the old liberals ever done, putting your own man in here.

That's very perceptive of you.

You must have a drink on that.

Well, that's very kind of you, mum.

Go to the kitchen.

Cook will make you a nice cup of tea.

I intend to strike at the first opportunity.

Otherwise, the Lord will whittle us down like a stick.

You've not yet settled your furniture, man.

I'd get great of him, right.

The Lord's destroyed, Cabal-Banamon's Irish bill is voting bill is education bill.

They'll undoubtedly throw out the licensing bill.

They want to keep the Hell Country drunk.

We control the House of Commons by the what are the people?

The Taurus control the House of Lords by privilege.

We pass bills, they throw them out.

We can't govern.

No cabinet could.

Well, Cabal-Banamon handed the fight over to you, Henry.

So?

You proposed to you as next year's budget as a bludgeon.

We need money for three things.

To stay ahead in the armament's race with Germany.

Now, you must agree to that.

To maintain the old age pension.

To bring in the health and unemployment insurance.

We must find that money somewhere.

So?

You proposed to find it by squeezing it out of those who have it.

A small increase in tax on anyone with over £5,000 a year.

A trifling tax on land, especially as it increases in value with us by sitting there.

Nothing revolutionary.

But that scopes practically everyone in the House of Lords

into the net they'll never stand for.

The Lords cannot reject a finance bill.

Not cannot.

My dear whole day, have not.

Not for 250 years, sir.

Henry, did you know that this House has exactly one bathroom and one bookshelf?

Hello, Edward, Richard.

Okay.

Has no Prime Minister in history ever washed or read a book?

It's a slight exaggeration, my dear, the bookshelf.

And so, furthermore, the House seems to comprise three-grout-tests staircases

in a tumble of odd little rooms like empty potting sheds.

I shall have to entertain in the garden.

Margot, there, knowing you, you'll entertain an horse-guard's parade.

If you wish it, and I've you don't mind, policy.

Henry, try fitting 14 servants, two children, three adolescents,

a size of horses, into this bizarre hill, billy of a shack,

and then talk to me of policy.

Oh, and incidentally, Lord Lannstein at this very moment

has a parrot cage of piers plotting to meet your life in misery.

Just thought you might like to know.

People tell me I manage the House of Commons well.

After Margot, it's a relaxation.

What if the Lords reject next year's budget?

You want to provoke the piers, don't you?

Hmm.

White as wise, he looked like a discarded beach towel.

She'd say he just got up.

She was at a ball until dawn.

When I rose this morning, I saw some of the young men

she'd been dancing with, yawning like bulls,

as they hung their burls in the foreign office across the way.

It's a good thing they don't have to work for a living.

Where's your little friend, Megan Lloyd George, the swallie?

She's at her next door.

Well, now go up.

I'm going to marry, Megan.

You'll do no such thing, and having no wild outbeignious blood

in this family.

But, Mama, she's well.

It's the same thing.

Besides, her father can't see a belt without hitting below it.

Margot.

And another thing, Papine dear, you really must stop throwing red rolls

at the suffragette who chained themselves to our railings.

It's very stale, Red Roll.

That is not the point.

They have enough to put up with being her rang by that tassamist's pancake

or whatever she calls herself.

Yes, Mama.

Pass the toast, please.

I swear, if I'd written these speeches for them myself,

I couldn't have done better.

What?

It's the Lord's debate on the budget.

Here's a resplendent marquis declaring that if our budget has passed,

he'll be compelled to reduce his donation to the London hospital

from five Guinnessy year to three.

And here's a description of his new yacht,

rumoured to cost him £1,000 a month.

Oh, newspapers do so love-round figures.

I happen to know it's £1150.

And, incidentally, we've been invited on it this August.

Are you gay?

I pay a grubble, if we can get away.

Aren't you afraid that the people might say

the Lords have got you in their pocket?

When they find out what I'm going to do to them,

they'll see I'm at the throats.

I'm not the die-mine, that's good, but why in the utenair?

A builder of my quaint has once told me the better the brick.

No more resounding, it's acoustic properties.

Your Majesty's residences are built of very good brick indeed.

Worms have ears.

You're the making of a conspiracy.

She's too bad, she'll hear me out here.

I'm not going to do it, you know.

If the aristocracy takes the unprecedented step,

I've cutting off the money supply.

Oh, come now, that's pitch-a-gative, it's Steve.

And setting its face against a budget designed

to help the old and the poor and the sick.

As head of the aristocracy, it's going to reflect on you.

Therefore, I must create hundreds of new liberal peers

to swamp the Tory majority in the Lords

and push the budget through.

I can't do it. It's too drastic.

It makes a mockery of the system.

Your Majesty, the system has already absurd.

For the Lords against us, we can't administer the country.

Perhaps somebody else can.

Do I detect a threat of resignation?

The cabinet would follow me.

Aren't we in danger of taking off fences before we come to them?

We don't know yet if the Lords will reject the budget.

I assure you, sir, they will.

But we don't know that.

If they do, then he must go to the country.

Hold a general election, making the budget the prime issue.

Then, if you win, the Lords won't dare to fire the wheel of people.

Will you give me a guarantee, sir, that if I win the election,

you will create sufficient peers to enable me

to get the rest of my legislation through.

You'll deal with that when we come to it.

I'm sorry to press, but will you, sir?

We'll see, Mr. Prime Minister.

We'll see.

I'm sorry.

Oh, puffing! Where are the slums you're buying?

Slums yourself!

If you walk round with your eyes shut,

one of these days you're walking to a great oozies swamp.

And it was sucked you under and great squelches just like this.

How do you do that?

Oh, it is, you just do this thing.

Like this.

No, you've got to make more sliver.

Oh, that's a great deal, better.

What's that?

It's a singing top.

Haven't you ever seen a singing top before?

It's very novel.

Now I have a go.

Well, it's very delicate.

I don't see what so delicate about it.

It's just a bit of old tune band together.

Anyway, I've got a secret.

What?

Wouldn't be a secret I've told you with it.

I don't want to know anyway.

Very well.

And I'll give you a guide to tell me.

All right, follow me, bring the top.

Here it is.

It's just a lifted and loaded.

I've been in my bed.

It's not a lifted and loaded.

It's just called a lift.

And I bet you don't know how to work it.

Well, do you?

No.

What I do and I'll show you if you give me a go with your top.

I wonder what the need for a band's tears when they have this.

One spade.

One diamond.

Two spades.

New beard.

Honestly, Margot, I'm sure it was on Wyze of Henry to fight the selection over the part of the lords.

Two no trumps.

Are you sure you meant that, Annabelle?

And Margot, dear, I really think it's rather improper to discuss one's partner's bid with her.

Frances Darling, I was not discussing her bidding.

I was disputing her politics.

Three diamonds.

The lords, Annabelle, are you sure?

Three diamonds.

The lords, Annabelle Darling, including or enchanting husband.

I like a hothon head on a hunt.

They are picturesque.

But they do tend to impede progress.

Three spades.

The people rather like the aristocracy.

They like mutton, but they don't expect to be ruled by sheep.

I would hardly call the House of lords sheep, Margot, dear.

New beard.

I trust you wouldn't call them shepherds.

The lords are my shepherds, I shall not want.

Try telling that to the people.

My billiard says the voters will speak with her feet.

I often think lords use another portion of their anatomy.

Margot.

I meant the back of their heads.

What did you think I meant?

Your turn to bid, Annabelle.

Four spades.

No beard.

Have you heard how the election count is going, Margot?

Oh, Henry seems very confident of a handsome majority.

And then we'll trim their lords' claws for them.

Six spades.

No beard.

No beard.

Have you found a new maid yet, Annabelle?

Angela McClain's on your scotch.

No, aren't you playing bridge or a week gossipy?

Yes.

Yes, what?

Oh, Francis, dear, you always put everything so clearly.

Thank you, partner.

Hetti, you're looking very picky.

You must talk to Freddy.

You positively mustn't have any more babies.

I know.

Tell me, how do you manage?

Do you take measures?

Who I don't have to?

Henry always withdraws in time. That's a noble man.

Ladies.

Oh, Henry, I was just telling the ladies.

How you were going to sweep the country.

What's the latest on the count?

I think we can promise you a famous victory.

Well, I, uh, I won't disturb you.

With all permission, Margot, dear, ladies,

I shall withdraw.

Well, that was health enough, Margot, dear.

With the outer unionists and labour behind us,

124.

Now, all you have to do is pass the budget back to the commons again.

And the lords, every blade of grass on their broad acres,

bleeding, will have to pass it because the whole country

has said that they must.

Oh, this was just the opening script.

I'm not going to say that.

I'm not going to say that.

I'm not going to say that.

I'm not going to say that.

I'm not going to say that.

I'm not going to say that.

Oh, this was just the opening scum,

I should have the real battle starts.

We've got to cut down that power, months and for all.

Oh, anybody must get into the fight now.

Can't you wait, just a little?

I will not have those bloody landlords

to the nation sitting on their upholstered backside,

telling me in the house of commons what we can and cannot do.

We must get on with giving the people of this country a life.

Well, I agree with you.

You know that.

It's just that

I was brought up among them.

I feel like a creature split into two.

We visit their houses, they are colored, deity and ever-vessence.

They're delightful.

They're on abominational.

I've never had the least difficulty in reconciling the two.

Politically, they're about to get a fist right between wind and water.

...to two years.

...so that after two years a bill will become law whether they like it or not.

Precisely.

So long as the commons themselves have passed it and free successive sessions...

...there's just one snag, of course.

...and he bill that does all this is itself vulnerable to the Lord's veto.

They will never pass it.

That is why I have an appointment with his majesty this afternoon.

My answer must be the same as it was on the budget.

Hold any election.

Another election within 12 months.

I cannot hold a general election every time they decide to throw out a bill.

Well, they're dealing with the constitution not playing dominoes, Mr. Smith.

Hold another election, making the parliament bill issue.

The majesty, if I win the election, the Lord's nevertheless refused to pass the parliament bill.

Will you then give me my title wave?

One thing at a time, Mr. Asquith.

Let's see how the election goes.

The majesty, all I'm asking is a hypothetical question.

And I do not believe, Mr. Asquith, in hypothetical answer.

I'm sorry my husband isn't here to conduct the interview, Mr. Bonham Carter.

But just at the moment, he's brow-beating the king.

However, as you are to be secretary to both of us, what a well judged crevat that is, by the way.

Thank you.

Do you reproust, Mr. Bonham Carter?

No, I'm a friend.

Oh, remember, my dad was only going to ask if you'd like a meddling with your tea.

Very much.

Thank you.

Well, I've heard all about you.

Is there anything you want to know about me?

Well, I am.

I think I know most that there is to know.

Most that I'm entitled to, that is.

I know you're one of the finest riders to hounds in the country.

That you have a gift for sketching and music.

Oh, yes, and that the dancer, Kate Vaughn, seeing you dance,

couldn't believe that you hadn't been trained for the ballet.

All true.

Especially the bits about riding and dancing.

You know, I believe I could have been one of the first bareback riding,

circus ballerinas in the world.

Watch.

Oh, damn it!

How is one supposed to behave naturally in this day and age?

Excuse me, one try.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

Excuse me, Madame.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I'm going to have a drink.

I summon up remembrance of things past.

I sigh the lack of...

Miss Violet!

Miss Violet, you are stepmother.

Dancing in her combinations is...

in front of the new secretary.

Combination seems like a very sensible garment to dancing.

I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought.

Dada, dada, dada, dada, dada, dada, dada, dada, dada, dada, dada, dada, dada, dada.

Bravo.

Well, now I suppose I must climb back into those hideous restrictions called clothes.

Oh, go.

Oh, hello, darling.

I was just dancing from Mr. Bonham Carter.

He's going to be our new secretary.

How do you do?

How do you do, Sir? I was just leaving.

Is he all right?

Perfectly splendid.

Oh.

Sir.

Well, I'll see you first the on Monday.

Yes, Sir.

Thank you, Sir.

Well, how did you get on?

Was the King sympathetic? Is he going to give you your new peers?

He wants me to win another election.

Oh.

And he still won't give me a guarantee, even if the Lord still resists.

Well, they're going to resist, you know?

Lots he told me this morning.

There are a piers-to-one parties going on all over London,

with puse-faced Duke Samarquises roaring at each other about military coups.

Oh.

How can we be expected to govern a country if you have to have an election every time you want to pass a bill?

What are you to do?

Oh, there are things cool off.

Gather devil out of it.

I think it's time I went and inspected the defences at Gibraltar.

Oh, dear.

What is it, Margot?

I don't suppose it's anything, Vazy.

The King has a touch of bronchitis, that's all.

Well, you know what he's like, all this is gars.

He probably sounds much worse than he is.

Oh, dear.

What is it, Margot?

Well, I don't suppose it's anything, Vazy.

The King has a touch of bronchitis, that's all.

Well, you know what he's like, all this is gars.

He's got a lot of bronchitis, much worse than he is.

Where has Father gone, Margot?

It's very inconvenient not to have him here.

I've received a move waiting for him in our chess game.

Your father is very tired, Parf India.

Fighting that seminary for the simple mindy, the house of lords.

Why are they simple mindy?

Oh, they're married as sisters or something of a sort.

I heard that Lord Rob was having a brain operation.

Why, are they going to put one in?

But where has Father gone, Margot?

Oh, tough and dull.

When princes and politicians need a rest, they go and inspect something,

preferably in a warm climate.

Your father has gone on the Admiralty yacht to inspect the defenses at Gibraltar.

I presume we expect a ferocious attack from a band of drink-craze,

banished gypsy violinists.

I thought there were some garrons.

They're all related, dear. You can't trust any of them.

I like to come with him.

Oh, dear.

I thought you might like to see this, Marm.

Yes, sir.

It's a copy of a bulletin they've just posted outside the gates of Buckingham Palace.

No progress.

The King's condition caused for great anxiety.

This is so sudden.

He's been lying low about it, Marm.

He's madly that is for these past four days.

I have it from his valley.

If you please, Marm, Lord Harding has waiting to see you.

Yes, yes, let him in immediately.

Charles, I didn't know.

I've just come from the palace.

I left his private secretary, Noles and Tears.

But it can't be as bad as that.

Noles is a man of give-and-to-exaggeration.

Henry isn't here, you know.

What was that?

Well, I think you should send him a telegram immediately.

But he's on the Admiralty yacht.

There are provisions for that.

King, seriously ill.

Suggest you return immediately.

All London, in state of well-founded alarm.

Marga, do you think that will do?

I don't think it overstates the case.

Well, I mean, how do I...

Well, I'll see to it.

It will go by Admiralty Cypher.

Also, sudden.

Not really.

His doctors have been warning him about his lungs for years.

Surely you'll be all right.

Oh, please, God.

Let him be all right.

Come.

We thought you'd like to know, Marl.

There's been another bulletin.

Yes.

His Majesty passed away at 11.45.

Can I get you anything, Marl?

Thank you, Mrs. Lindy.

You're good, a bedner.

I'm sorry.

Don't.

I'm sorry I couldn't be here.

Your coat, Marl.

Your wire reached me hours before the official one.

We were on our way from Cadiz's to to Broughta.

And then about three in the morning, we had a wireless,

and I've seen the King's death.

I went on deck in the twilight just before dawn.

The first thing I saw was Haley's comet,

blazing in the sky.

Why wish we'd been together?

What did you think?

I thought, oh, God, I've got to explain it all over again

to a new King.

What is it?

At marvellous.

Life-giving.

Huge, unhappy man.

All you can think about is politics.

Some of us may have the luxury to indulge in immortal longings,

but I happen to be in the middle of the biggest constitutional crisis

since Charles I.

An untested young King is likely to be of less help in a political brawl than an old one.

Now I know why they call you all head and no heart, as with you.

You have no emotion in you.

Marlko, I know I've always disappointed you in some way.

I think I know what it is.

I would have hoped by now you would have understood.

I could and will make a fine speech in the House of Commons about the death of a King.

All I can say to you is,

we'll save some tears for those who don't know how to weep.

I'm not asking you to weep.

We ask this all the same.

You've seen the boys when they're home from school.

When was the last time you saw them touch your shake hands or say one friend living?

If they'd die for each other.

Little puffin isn't like that or Elizabeth.

They have you in them, my dear.

I've sighed ten children, five of them by you.

Those five all would have had your vivid heart.

As for me, I don't understand myself.

Who does a speaking statue in the Commons or buffoons sometimes at home?

All I can tell you is this.

To me, from the first hour I knew you until now,

you have been the best that I have known.

I have loved and loved you truly and loyal and with all my nature.

May God make us ever more to each other and help us both to do and to bear.

Well, that's not quite how most of your literary friends would have put it,

but it's the best a poor old politician can do.

Henry,

the most people you're a glittering enigma.

To me.

Well, the second wife always feels herself in competition.

You talked of sarring ten children and five of those were by me and I lost three of them.

And when I lost the last one, just before you became Prime Minister, I felt so ill here

that I went to St Paul's and prayed that I might die rather than hamper your work.

You're the only really serious man I've ever known.

I was terrified of letting it die.

You terrified?

Oh, my dear.

It was a wave loving you.

Well.

How are you going to start again now?

It occurred to the new king.

Tell him I intend to hold a constitutional conference with the opposition.

Seek some solution other than an election.

Card knows I can't see one.

No, by his side. Not at all.

I think it's monstrous that women shouldn't have the vote.

Thank you, for instance. Let's say you had us good in mind as any man I know.

You realise I could choose to regard that as an extremely patronised one?

You know I did you, Miss Brach.

Yes, I did.

It's all this commotion.

Where are you going?

It's a very sad thing.

You're probably in the girl.

I was in the girl.

I was in the girl.

I was in the girl.

Miss Violet, have you seen the little master puff in?

The last time was the Megan just a little long.

Why, what's wrong is he missing?

We cannot discover any of the usual places.

Miss Hannah, thank you very much.

Inspector Brally, how long has he been missing?

Is anyone remotely surprised?

This house is a batter's exclusive.

It's an undarby day.

I swear, if a troop of cavalry were to arrive through no one,

even notice a drop in.

Margot, I'm sure you're over-dramatising it.

Margot, what's happened?

Little puff in has been kidnapped.

That's what a Megan Lord George,

or anyone could have taken them.

This suffered Jersianne, a kissable Gary.

What's the strength of it, Bungie?

As far as I can make out, the children were last seen three hours ago.

It's about 2pm.

When they didn't turn up, for tea or search was made,

but they couldn't be found.

Has anyone suspicious been seen?

Nothing has been reported, sir.

We've got men all over the area now.

Oh, you mean everyone thinks I'm so hard and smart.

Anything would have happened to pop me.

Margot, go and do the study word, Mitchel.

Please, Margot, I'm going to pop.

Bungie, son, you know there's something different.

Something missing.

Something in the background.

Of course, the lift. Come with me, Inspector.

Nothing.

Let's go to the other side.

Mr Linsley! Mr Linsley!

You'll have to leave the gear out.

Okay.

Leave the gear out.

Well, Inspector.

You all right, you're the lift-walk down there.

Send you the other thing.

I don't give a damn.

I can't.

I can't be the staple.

I can't be the staple.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, you're getting this bastard fired.

You wicked, wicked one.

Don't you ever do that again.

You didn't do it until two hours and back.

This is not a debate.

Oh, little Miss Megan.

Oh, épadoscius,200.

Professor María Freeman.

Thank you, Linsley.

...i am so round by experts telling me what to do.

Listen to your experts instead then.

Experts.

If I listen to experts, little puffin,

...would still be a furious, unfertilized egg.

And of a lifetime is riding to Hans,

...and given you a grip like twin python?

No Henry listen, I will not be diverting.

Look all I was going to suggest was that we...

We have tried with every glimmer of goodwill in our body

to reach an accommodation with those bloody fossils.

We have tried for six months.

Meanwhile the country has been virtually without government.

Ireland for God's sake should have home rule by now.

That is just one instance that it doesn't.

Henry I do believe that I have the answer.

Yes. I have gone astigate back to the king.

I'm seeing tomorrow afternoon.

I take crew along with me as leader of the House of Lords.

Many pleasant for the time of year, don't you think?

As crew indeed.

Your Majesty...

Yes, I know.

I've been waiting for it.

Your Majesty we are an extremist.

We have tried for six months to find a middle way.

There is none. Lord crew will confirm it.

The opposition peers are quite intractable sir.

I can find no means of doing business with them.

Therefore you ask for your swamping delusion of new peers.

And I tell you I feel the same distaste for this procedure as did my father.

Your Majesty I am a political unit.

I suggest you do as my father asked you to do.

As you did over the budget hold an election and see what the people say about curving the lords.

We shall win the election.

It's quite certain.

And then what?

The commons will pass the Parliament bill and send it to the lords and the lords will throw it into the tent.

I wish we'd be back exactly where we are now,

with a government elected by the people to govern, but unable to do so.

How many of these puppet peers would you need?

300, should I say?

To be safe, five.

My office has drawn up a list of suitable names.

Mr. Eskith.

I want you to be very sure how deeply I'd test this course of action.

Yes?

I'll give you your assurance.

I'm three conditions.

Firstly that you win the election with a convincing majority.

Secondly, that my promise shall remain utterly secret during the election.

And thirdly that you will not call on it thereafter unless it becomes absolutely unavoidable.

On all three conditions sir, you have my word.

And mine sir.

Magoria, Vagia, gentlemen.

We've cleared the first hurdle.

Nobody can possibly call 126 an unconvincing majority.

This is majesty will be well pleased.

But here's to those who gave it to us.

The people, the people.

They certainly made it clear they wanted the lords, Tain.

They said so in two elections.

First the one over the budget and now this one.

Now onto the next battle.

We'll send the Parliament bill up to their lordships.

Company that I hope by a fleet of ambulances, at the Plexi will be commonplace.

The Parliament may all be quite mild,

but the lords pass the budget jolly quickly after the last election.

They'll see the self-visit.

They'll be fighting for the ultimate dominance.

They're ancestral claim to rule the country.

Five hours of the night is right all about it.

The lords will come up there, get to right in the fight there.

Over the night is no, the night is late.

Madam, we're on a burning, piper, piper's kept driving.

We're on a burning, no, it's a dead party bill.

Surely the lords have only made amendments to the bill.

They've threatened the bill back at us.

Now's the time to tell them and it's not at the right hand of God.

They've sit with it in the bloody house of lords.

Now's the time to unveil to their right-homble leader of the opposition, Lord Danzaan.

The king's promised to me.

I can't wait to see that exploding faces.

It's a pleasure you'll have to be denied my dear.

This is not going to be a latest coffee morning.

Do I understand you, sir?

The king said what?

Not said, my dear Hallsbury, committed.

How many new peers?

How many?

As many as we need to push the parliament bill through

and make it possible for us to govern.

Our estimate is three to five hundred.

Jerk!

Herfrogs!

You'll make the period just come and as membership of the brooks.

I would have thought there's the least of your troubles.

Now, it's outrageous!

It's a time-dissolved to the whole of the English aristocracy.

Accept our parliament bill and you will still have considerable powers.

The past will suggest amendments.

The past will hold up any bill you don't like for two years.

Lord, that's extremely generous of you.

Where as consider the alternative?

With an additional several hundred liberal peers packing the house, the Tory party had no power at all.

We'd be able to steamroll through any measure we light without so much as a buy or leave.

Now, just supposing we were to lose the next election and your party got in.

Yeah.

You'd be faced with a permanent liberal majority in the Lord,

so you could render a Tory party totally ineffective.

Then you wracked your bogeyman at me, sir.

The king won't do it.

The king must stand on the side of the aristocracy.

Are you doubting his Majesty's word?

We haven't had his Majesty's word.

We've only had your report of it.

Are you therefore doubting my word?

Of course no one's doubting your word.

But this has come as a terrible shock.

My child, you mind, you, sir,

that when Queen Anne created just twelve peers for a similar purpose,

the man who advised her ended up in the tower.

What's going to happen to me, Hang draw and quarter?

Any peer who votes for your poisonous bill will be expelled from his clubs.

No man will take him by the hand ever again.

His friends will disown him.

And both socially and politically he'll be ostracized.

He'll be a dead doctor, dead, dead, dead in the marshes.

If we could bring this discussion back to a more rational level...

Yes, well, I'm afraid that may not be possible.

But this matter goes to the very heart of the power and pride of the nobility.

It's an intensely emotive issue.

It goes also to the heart of the rights and dignity of the free men and commoners of England.

That's why it must be approached with reason and calm.

Yes, well, those are two commodities that will be in very short supply in the next year.

I'll give you a good day, sir.

The division's very soon.

Holsbury's got squads of whippers in chasing Rantan, collecting Tory peers.

Freddie tells me they've been dragged out of hibernation, dusted off, pointed precariously in the right direction...

...and the right to the right to the right.

Freddie tells me they've been dragged out of hibernation, dusted off, pointed precariously in the right direction...

...and some have even been winched into their seas.

How do you think it would go? Really.

Landstahl proved to realist. He's got 320 peers who are prepared to stay in and from voting.

I don't know, he obviously will vote for the bill.

What we don't know is her men and the wild man Holsbury's got obviously.

The other thing is balanced on the point of a needle.

Come along, Master Puffin. Say good night to your mum and Papa.

Good night, my darling.

Night, Puffin.

You won't cut the floor the Lord's heads as the French did, will you?

No, I won't.

They do look very nice, actually, in the fancy dress.

Yes, Puffin, they do.

Puffin, Puffin.

After bed, ma.

Come along, Master Puffin.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has just made a speech that should give us the bishops.

That's another 13 to us.

I believe we're going to do it.

And you did want to do it democratically, didn't you?

I mean, you didn't actually want to coupé la coupe.

I don't. The King doesn't, and they don't.

What we need now is British common sense.

Did Holsbury say when they divide? He said they just started.

Who wants to bet that I know before any of you?

No takers, I'm afraid.

Freddie?

We didn't.

We won.

Oh, congratulations.

131 to 114.

Oh, 17.

17 votes.

Bless you, Freddie.

This calls for a celebration.

Ah, I'll swear Lindsay knew before anyone else.

I did have an inkling miss from an underteller.

Many congratulations, sir.

Thank you, Lindsay.

Well, that was a closer-un thing.

The country would never have been the same.

Here's to democracy.

To you, sir, to the last of the Romans.

Yes.

Oh, poppycock.

By the way, who is Freddie?

Oh, I couldn't possibly tell you.

He voted for the other side.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.

I'm not a man.
