1
00:00:03,003 --> 00:00:05,222
(crowd cheering)
2
00:00:06,882 --> 00:00:10,887
(♪ The Military Band of the Queen's
Regiment: "Soldiers of the Queen ")
3
00:00:18,477 --> 00:00:21,697
(cheering, fanfare continuing)
4
00:00:32,699 --> 00:00:35,373
(cheering grows louder)
5
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:54,721
(cheering, fanfare fade)
6
00:01:12,614 --> 00:01:16,619
(Indian music playing)
(cash register beeping)
7
00:01:21,873 --> 00:01:24,877
Yeah, mate, I said 30, you can't
expect to get away with it like that.
8
00:01:25,043 --> 00:01:26,670
Make a better deal or it's off.
9
00:01:26,837 --> 00:01:30,842
OK? Well, I'll see you tomorrow then,
ten o'clock, my place.
10
00:01:36,388 --> 00:01:39,187
(man) One forty-nine, please.
11
00:01:41,101 --> 00:01:44,776
- How much is the milk?
- Forty-nine pence.
12
00:01:49,484 --> 00:01:51,737
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
13
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,918
One pound, please. Thank you.
14
00:01:59,077 --> 00:02:01,079
(traffic humming)
15
00:02:34,237 --> 00:02:37,582
Uh-uh. Too much.
Much too much butter.
16
00:02:37,741 --> 00:02:39,163
I like butter.
17
00:02:39,326 --> 00:02:40,953
Denis.
18
00:02:42,537 --> 00:02:44,164
Mmm.
19
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:50,212
- Milk's gone up.
- Hm?
20
00:02:50,379 --> 00:02:54,009
- 49p a pint.
- Good grief!
21
00:02:54,174 --> 00:02:55,801
We'll have to economize.
22
00:02:55,967 --> 00:02:58,561
I suppose we could always sell the car.
23
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,725
(laughs) Or take in paying guests.
(coughs)
24
00:03:02,891 --> 00:03:04,768
(footsteps approach)
(muffled woman's voice)
25
00:03:04,935 --> 00:03:06,983
Watch out. She's on the prowl.
26
00:03:07,145 --> 00:03:12,072
(voices murmuring)
27
00:03:14,653 --> 00:03:15,905
Eat your 699.
28
00:03:20,033 --> 00:03:25,210
- Goodness! There you are.
- Yes. Here we are.
29
00:03:35,716 --> 00:03:39,346
(woman whispering) How did this happen?
How could she possibly have got out?
30
00:03:39,511 --> 00:03:42,981
It's very, very important
that the front door is left locked.
31
00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:44,892
- Of course.
- Please, make it clear
32
00:03:45,058 --> 00:03:47,311
- to whoever's on after you.
(guard) Dixon.
33
00:03:47,477 --> 00:03:49,605
(woman) I'm afraid I'm going to have
to phone the station about this.
34
00:03:49,771 --> 00:03:51,865
- Anything could have happened.
(guard) I understand.
35
00:03:52,023 --> 00:03:55,527
(woman) Maria, she's starting to clear
her husband's cupboard, so...
36
00:03:55,694 --> 00:03:57,071
(Maria) Mm-hm.
(woman 1) I may need your help.
37
00:03:57,237 --> 00:04:00,616
Can you bring up any cases
that you can find in the basement?
38
00:04:00,782 --> 00:04:02,534
(Maria) Of course.
39
00:04:09,082 --> 00:04:10,925
Mm!
40
00:04:14,337 --> 00:04:15,463
Beautiful day.
41
00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:18,008
- Mm...
- Oh, you've made a start.
42
00:04:18,175 --> 00:04:20,769
Carol's coming soon,
I'll get some bags.
43
00:04:22,596 --> 00:04:26,692
Anything you want to go to Mark,
I'll bring up a suitcase for it.
44
00:04:32,189 --> 00:04:33,736
Uh-uh.
45
00:04:33,899 --> 00:04:37,870
No, no, no, no. The grey.
46
00:04:38,028 --> 00:04:41,202
- You sure?
- Mm...
47
00:04:41,364 --> 00:04:43,787
(grunts)
48
00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:52,589
Definitely the grey.
49
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:56,346
Righty oh. Boss knows best.
50
00:04:56,505 --> 00:04:59,224
(Denis humming)
51
00:05:01,802 --> 00:05:04,055
(water running)
52
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,683
(Denis) Don't let her take
my paper away.
53
00:05:07,849 --> 00:05:11,228
Oh, I haven't had a chance
to look at that yet, dear.
54
00:05:11,394 --> 00:05:13,146
Sorry.
55
00:05:14,898 --> 00:05:16,821
(Denis) Atta girl.
56
00:05:18,235 --> 00:05:19,828
Ah! Damn!
57
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:22,705
- Damn it.
- Blot it.
58
00:05:22,864 --> 00:05:26,334
- Blot it.
- Pardon?
59
00:05:26,493 --> 00:05:28,495
(stammers)
60
00:05:33,458 --> 00:05:34,960
You're supposed to be looking after her.
61
00:05:35,126 --> 00:05:37,549
(Denis) Now look what you've done.
62
00:05:38,588 --> 00:05:41,592
Are they to keep
the loonies out or you in?
63
00:05:41,758 --> 00:05:43,260
Hm...
64
00:05:44,803 --> 00:05:46,146
I'll be off then.
65
00:05:46,304 --> 00:05:51,231
Wear your scarf.
There is a chill out there.
66
00:05:54,729 --> 00:05:57,778
Good morning, Lady Thatcher.
Are you all right?
67
00:05:57,941 --> 00:06:02,412
- How are you feeling?
- I'm fine, thank you, Susie.
68
00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:05,240
I've just been reading
about the bombings.
69
00:06:05,407 --> 00:06:10,038
- Of course. Frightful.
(pop ringtone playing)
70
00:06:14,666 --> 00:06:16,384
(phone beeps off)
- Sorry-.
71
00:06:19,045 --> 00:06:20,968
These are the books for you to sign.
72
00:06:21,131 --> 00:06:23,554
I brought as many as I could find.
73
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:26,516
Shall we go through your appointments?
74
00:06:28,138 --> 00:06:29,765
We said we'd go through them today.
75
00:06:30,932 --> 00:06:33,151
Yes. Of course, dear. Today.
76
00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:35,062
The invitation has come
from Downing Street
77
00:06:35,228 --> 00:06:38,198
for the unveiling of your portrait.
I'll put that on the mantelpiece,
78
00:06:38,356 --> 00:06:40,404
and there's an invitation
from Lord Armstrong
79
00:06:40,567 --> 00:06:43,195
for lunch on the first Friday
of next month.
80
00:06:43,361 --> 00:06:45,614
I said no, because you have
a concert that afternoon,
81
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:47,282
but if you'd like to...
82
00:06:47,449 --> 00:06:49,918
It looks like a very
interesting program.
83
00:06:50,076 --> 00:06:52,204
What are they playing?
84
00:06:53,622 --> 00:06:57,252
Um, I think they said...
85
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:59,886
...Rodgers & Hammerstein.
86
00:07:00,045 --> 00:07:01,843
Oh.
87
00:07:02,005 --> 00:07:07,978
("Shall We Dance" playing)
88
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,032
(Margaret chuckles)
89
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:31,122
Oh...
90
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:35,005
(music fades)
(chuckles, snorts) Silly man.
91
00:07:35,163 --> 00:07:38,542
Oh, he hasn't got his scarf on.
92
00:08:00,730 --> 00:08:02,653
(distant booming)
93
00:08:04,818 --> 00:08:06,695
(distant booming)
94
00:08:11,449 --> 00:08:13,622
(air-raid sirens blaring)
(distant booming)
95
00:08:19,249 --> 00:08:23,299
- Did someone cover the butter?
- I'll go.
96
00:08:23,461 --> 00:08:24,758
- Leave it!
- Margaret.
97
00:08:24,921 --> 00:08:29,973
(plane rumbling)
(bombs exploding)
98
00:08:30,135 --> 00:08:31,603
(glassware rattling)
99
00:08:31,761 --> 00:08:33,434
(panting)
100
00:08:33,596 --> 00:08:34,848
Good girl.
101
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:42,323
Tomorrow, no matter what they do,
it'll be business as usual.
102
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:47,865
(woman) Two of the small beef,
Mr. Roberts.
103
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:51,365
(man) What is the life blood
of any community?
104
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:53,249
It's business.
105
00:08:53,408 --> 00:08:56,002
Not just big business,
but small businesses, like mine.
106
00:08:56,161 --> 00:08:57,504
(whispers) Margaret! Cups!
107
00:08:57,662 --> 00:09:00,165
(Mr. Roberts)
We on this island are strong.
108
00:09:00,331 --> 00:09:04,552
We're self-reliant. Sometimes,
we're plain bloody-minded.
109
00:09:04,711 --> 00:09:07,214
But we also believe
in helping each other.
110
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:09,132
And I don't mean by state handouts.
111
00:09:09,299 --> 00:09:11,097
(girl) Margaret, do you want
to come to the pictures?
112
00:09:11,259 --> 00:09:13,102
(girl 2) She's not coming out,
she's got to study.
113
00:09:13,261 --> 00:09:15,514
- Miss Hoity-Toity!
(laughing)
114
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:19,355
(Mr. Roberts) Never run with the crowd,
Margaret. Go your own way.
115
00:09:20,769 --> 00:09:22,112
(echoing) Go your own way.
116
00:09:22,270 --> 00:09:23,613
(girls giggling)
117
00:09:23,772 --> 00:09:25,115
(Mr. Roberts) Never run with the crowd.
118
00:09:25,273 --> 00:09:26,274
Open it then.
119
00:09:31,321 --> 00:09:33,244
I've got a place at Oxford.
120
00:09:35,033 --> 00:09:36,785
(cries softly)
121
00:09:38,536 --> 00:09:40,459
Don't let me down, Margaret.
122
00:09:42,123 --> 00:09:43,591
Mother!
123
00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:47,887
My hands are still damp.
124
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:58,932
"Margaret Roberts."
125
00:09:59,724 --> 00:10:01,726
Oh!
126
00:10:10,735 --> 00:10:14,285
(woman softly) Tea.
- Margaret! Cups!
127
00:10:15,406 --> 00:10:19,627
(murmuring voices)
(girls giggling)
128
00:10:19,786 --> 00:10:23,086
(Denis)
They're talking about you again.
129
00:10:23,248 --> 00:10:25,467
Wha... What time is it?
130
00:10:27,127 --> 00:10:29,755
Sun's not quite over the yardarm.
131
00:10:29,921 --> 00:10:31,719
- It's time for tea.
(phone rings)
132
00:10:31,881 --> 00:10:35,556
(sighs)
- Look, Margaret.
133
00:10:37,428 --> 00:10:39,396
What have you got on your head?
134
00:10:39,556 --> 00:10:42,309
Found it in the cupboard,
and thought, bugger it,
135
00:10:42,475 --> 00:10:44,728
it's Friday, why not fancy dress?
136
00:10:44,894 --> 00:10:48,398
- You look ridiculous.
(foreign accent) Boss lady no like?
137
00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:50,909
No, Denis, boss lady no like.
138
00:10:51,067 --> 00:10:53,411
(woman, hushed) She's made a start,
that's the main thing.
139
00:10:53,570 --> 00:10:56,540
No, no, no. It's going fine.
140
00:10:56,698 --> 00:11:00,703
But it's taken Carol eight years
to persuade her to let his things go.
141
00:11:00,869 --> 00:11:02,496
(quietly) Feet!
142
00:11:03,746 --> 00:11:06,215
(woman) Well, it's her pills.
143
00:11:06,374 --> 00:11:09,469
You can never be sure she's taking them.
I think sometimes she hides them.
144
00:11:09,627 --> 00:11:11,550
(Denis) Oh, rumbled!
145
00:11:11,713 --> 00:11:14,967
(woman) They give her about an hour's
clarity, then she slips again.
146
00:11:15,133 --> 00:11:16,385
(car door slams)
147
00:11:16,551 --> 00:11:19,179
(woman) Can I suggest you remove
the sticker from the back of your car?
148
00:11:19,345 --> 00:11:21,598
(man) Sorry. It's always cash...
(woman) Then take the sticker off!
149
00:11:21,764 --> 00:11:23,357
I call that false advertising,
wouldn't you?
150
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:25,518
- I've got another...
- I would say keep the change,
151
00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:26,811
but there isn't any change.
152
00:11:26,978 --> 00:11:28,696
(woman) Hello, June. Any news?
153
00:11:28,855 --> 00:11:31,904
Look, I brought every single bag
I could find.
154
00:11:32,066 --> 00:11:37,243
(man on TV) He gave a speech recently,
trying to come up with a broad base...
155
00:11:37,405 --> 00:11:39,157
Hello, Ma.
156
00:11:39,324 --> 00:11:41,873
Bloody taxi driver
wouldn't take my card.
157
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:46,916
I said don't have a sticker saying
you take Visa and then insist on cash.
158
00:11:47,081 --> 00:11:48,082
Oh! Can you believe it?
159
00:11:48,249 --> 00:11:51,093
Rummaging around the bottom of my bag.
He didn't get a tip.
160
00:11:54,589 --> 00:12:00,267
I didn't know that you were
dropping by today, dear.
161
00:12:00,428 --> 00:12:04,149
Yes, you said yesterday,
we were going to start on Dad's things.
162
00:12:04,307 --> 00:12:06,981
The cupboards,
then I was going to help you dress.
163
00:12:07,143 --> 00:12:09,271
- You've got Michael and...
- Jacqueline.
164
00:12:09,437 --> 00:12:12,907
- Coming for dinner tonight.
- Yes, of course.
165
00:12:14,817 --> 00:12:16,819
We're having halibut.
166
00:12:18,404 --> 00:12:22,125
(newscaster) This is a major
catastrophe that has struck our capital.
167
00:12:22,283 --> 00:12:24,957
- As you can see...
- Isn't it terrible?
168
00:12:25,119 --> 00:12:27,087
They think it's al-Qaeda.
169
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:30,046
...are trying to get
all the people out of the building.
170
00:12:30,208 --> 00:12:33,803
The Prime Minister and his senior staff
were due to be staying at the hotel,
171
00:12:33,962 --> 00:12:35,179
- but checked out earlier.
(Margaret) Denis!
172
00:12:35,338 --> 00:12:37,966
It'll be fine.
Come get your head down.
173
00:12:38,132 --> 00:12:41,102
- It's ten to three, for God's sake.
(Margaret) Denis!
174
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:43,013
(newscaster) At ten to three
this morning, an explosion
175
00:12:43,179 --> 00:12:45,932
extensively damaged
the Grand Hotel in Brighton...
176
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:49,148
(newscaster 2)... Brighton, scene
of the Conservative Party conference.
177
00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:51,938
(newscaster) ...the Prime Minister and
a number of her Cabinet were staying.
178
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:54,358
They escaped unhurt,
but it's reported that...
179
00:12:54,524 --> 00:12:55,992
(newscaster 2) Five people have died,
180
00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:58,152
many others are injured,
some critically.
181
00:12:58,319 --> 00:13:01,664
(newscaster 3) The IRA have claimed
responsibility.
182
00:13:03,366 --> 00:13:08,213
We must release a statement,
offering our condolences.
183
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:10,585
I'm sure they've already...
184
00:13:10,748 --> 00:13:15,754
We must never, ever, ever
give in to terrorists.
185
00:13:20,008 --> 00:13:21,726
Is it warm in here?
186
00:13:23,428 --> 00:13:26,147
Now, Ma, are we going long
or just below the knee tonight?
187
00:13:26,306 --> 00:13:29,276
Oh, below the knee,
I should think.
188
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:34,989
No! Don't... Don't move those.
189
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:38,197
I haven't finished sorting.
190
00:13:46,743 --> 00:13:48,745
I hear you went out today.
191
00:13:50,705 --> 00:13:53,675
You mustn't go out on your own,
Mummy. We've talked about that.
192
00:13:54,417 --> 00:13:56,294
There was no milk.
193
00:13:56,461 --> 00:13:58,805
Call Robert, he'll get it
for you if June's not up.
194
00:13:58,963 --> 00:14:01,136
I am not for the knacker's yet.
195
00:14:01,299 --> 00:14:04,473
(Denis) Now, take it easy, Margaret.
- No one's saying that.
196
00:14:06,804 --> 00:14:11,184
If I can't go out to buy a pint of milk,
what is the world coming to?
197
00:14:11,351 --> 00:14:17,108
Really, Carol.
Please don't fuss about it.
198
00:14:17,273 --> 00:14:21,779
You've always been like this,
fuss, fuss, fuss.
199
00:14:21,944 --> 00:14:24,823
You must find something better
to do with your time.
200
00:14:26,115 --> 00:14:28,743
It's most unattractive in a woman.
201
00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:31,795
When I was your age,
202
00:14:31,954 --> 00:14:36,585
the last thing I wanted to do
was fuss around my mother.
203
00:14:38,044 --> 00:14:40,593
Four down, nine letters.
204
00:14:40,755 --> 00:14:43,178
Something B,
something T, something N...
205
00:14:43,341 --> 00:14:47,221
Something, something, something.
Refusal to change course.
206
00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:50,977
- Obstinate.
(laughs)
207
00:14:51,140 --> 00:14:53,142
(Carol) What?
(Denis) I knew you'd get it.
208
00:14:53,309 --> 00:14:56,688
Ob... I'll wear the pearls.
209
00:14:58,439 --> 00:15:00,533
I'll wear the pearls.
210
00:15:08,366 --> 00:15:09,788
(sighs)
211
00:15:09,951 --> 00:15:11,794
There they are.
212
00:15:11,953 --> 00:15:14,206
My little twins.
213
00:15:16,749 --> 00:15:18,626
Thank you, dear.
214
00:15:19,877 --> 00:15:21,971
It's nearly all familiar faces:
215
00:15:22,130 --> 00:15:25,259
- William, Michael and his lovely wife.
- Jacqueline.
216
00:15:25,425 --> 00:15:29,146
And then there's Peter,
James R, James T,
217
00:15:29,303 --> 00:15:32,477
and that very nice man
we met last year.
218
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,814
- I remember.
- He's bringing his new lady friend,
219
00:15:35,977 --> 00:15:39,607
just to mix things up a bit,
because we're rather short of women,
220
00:15:39,772 --> 00:15:40,944
but I'm sure we'll manage.
221
00:15:41,107 --> 00:15:43,451
I've always preferred
the company of men.
222
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:45,737
(men laughing)
223
00:15:47,321 --> 00:15:50,165
- Ma?
(lively chattering)
224
00:15:54,495 --> 00:15:57,044
(chattering stops)
225
00:15:57,206 --> 00:16:02,428
(man) Ah, Miss Roberts. Hoping to be
chosen as our candidate for Parliament.
226
00:16:02,587 --> 00:16:06,683
Well, I don't like coalitions,
I never have.
227
00:16:06,841 --> 00:16:08,843
(lively chattering)
228
00:16:14,682 --> 00:16:16,275
(chattering fades)
229
00:16:16,434 --> 00:16:18,857
Start on the outside, work your way in.
230
00:16:19,020 --> 00:16:23,196
(man) Attlee has his sights set on
the steel industry, you mark my words.
231
00:16:23,357 --> 00:16:25,359
(man 2) They'll be nationalizing
the bloody air next.
232
00:16:25,526 --> 00:16:28,075
Yes, hold your breath, sir.
That's government property.
233
00:16:28,237 --> 00:16:29,329
Dreadful.
234
00:16:29,489 --> 00:16:32,834
Was your father a political man,
too, Miss Roberts?
235
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:35,836
Oh, yes, to his core.
236
00:16:35,995 --> 00:16:38,043
And Mayor of Grantham.
237
00:16:38,206 --> 00:16:42,461
- And a grocer as well.
(Margaret) Yes.
238
00:16:42,627 --> 00:16:45,756
And did you help... in the...
239
00:16:45,922 --> 00:16:48,846
- Oh, yes. It was a family business.
- ...shop?
240
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:52,353
A very good starting point
for the political life, I'm sure.
241
00:16:52,512 --> 00:16:54,185
That and a degree from Oxford.
242
00:16:58,142 --> 00:17:01,271
(indistinct chattering)
243
00:17:01,437 --> 00:17:03,064
No, don't. Whiskey, please.
244
00:17:03,231 --> 00:17:06,201
(chattering continues)
245
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:13,449
(Margaret) What I do think is
that a man should be encouraged
246
00:17:13,616 --> 00:17:15,618
to stand on his own two feet.
247
00:17:15,785 --> 00:17:19,289
Yes, we help people.
Of course we help people.
248
00:17:19,455 --> 00:17:23,961
But for those that can do,
they must just get up and do.
249
00:17:24,126 --> 00:17:27,255
And if something's wrong,
they shouldn't just whine about it,
250
00:17:27,421 --> 00:17:31,597
they should get in there and do
something about it, change things.
251
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:34,979
With all due respect, Miss Roberts,
what may have served in Grantham...
252
00:17:35,137 --> 00:17:37,811
Can serve very well
for the people of Dartford, too.
253
00:17:37,974 --> 00:17:40,397
- Really?
- I know much more than those
254
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,733
who have never lived
on a limited income.
255
00:17:42,895 --> 00:17:45,239
Just like the man or woman
in the street,
256
00:17:45,398 --> 00:17:49,995
when I am short one week,
I have to make economies the next.
257
00:17:50,152 --> 00:17:52,405
Nothing like a slice
of fiscal responsibility.
258
00:17:52,572 --> 00:17:55,246
(Margaret) A man might call it
fiscal responsibility,
259
00:17:55,408 --> 00:17:58,378
a woman
might call it good housekeeping.
260
00:17:58,536 --> 00:18:02,791
I'm not sure a home economics lesson
261
00:18:02,957 --> 00:18:06,803
is quite what the Dartford
constituents need.
262
00:18:06,961 --> 00:18:09,965
They see industry being nationalized,
263
00:18:10,131 --> 00:18:13,931
the unions on the up,
the pound on the slide.
264
00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:18,189
Whoever can sort that lot out,
he's my man.
265
00:18:18,347 --> 00:18:20,941
- Or woman?
(chuckles)
266
00:18:24,186 --> 00:18:27,065
Ladies, shall we?
267
00:18:28,149 --> 00:18:31,244
(man) Miss Roberts, do join the ladies.
268
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:47,377
(man) Well. That's told us!
269
00:18:47,543 --> 00:18:49,466
(laughter)
270
00:18:52,089 --> 00:18:55,810
So, Margaret, how would you have dealt
with this if you'd been Prime Minister?
271
00:18:57,595 --> 00:18:58,812
Where?
272
00:18:59,972 --> 00:19:01,599
(Carol) The bombings, Mummy.
273
00:19:01,766 --> 00:19:04,440
Today.
274
00:19:04,602 --> 00:19:06,650
We were just talking about them.
275
00:19:08,689 --> 00:19:10,236
No... yes.
276
00:19:10,399 --> 00:19:13,448
We have always lived alongside evil.
277
00:19:13,611 --> 00:19:17,832
But it has never been so patient,
278
00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:19,867
so avid for carnage,
279
00:19:20,034 --> 00:19:24,710
so eager to carry innocents
along with it into oblivion.
280
00:19:24,872 --> 00:19:26,124
Hear, hear.
281
00:19:26,290 --> 00:19:30,045
Western civilization
must root out this evil,
282
00:19:30,211 --> 00:19:33,590
wherever it hides, or she risks defeat
283
00:19:33,756 --> 00:19:38,011
at the hands of global terror
in a nuclear age. Unimaginable.
284
00:19:38,177 --> 00:19:39,895
The Prime Minister made a very
good statement, I thought.
285
00:19:40,054 --> 00:19:43,103
Yes. Clever man.
Quite a smoothie.
286
00:19:43,265 --> 00:19:45,438
(laughter)
287
00:19:45,601 --> 00:19:48,445
Miss Thatcher, it's been such
a pleasure to meet you.
288
00:19:48,604 --> 00:19:50,527
- You don't mind if I sit down.
- No, no.
289
00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:55,947
I heard you speak at the conference
in Brighton in 1984,
290
00:19:56,112 --> 00:19:59,332
just after the IRA
bombed the Grand Hotel.
291
00:19:59,490 --> 00:20:02,084
You were remarkable.
292
00:20:03,077 --> 00:20:05,956
I hope you appreciate
what an inspiration you've been
293
00:20:06,122 --> 00:20:08,591
to women like myself.
294
00:20:08,749 --> 00:20:13,596
Well, it used to be
about trying to do something.
295
00:20:13,754 --> 00:20:18,510
You see. Now, it's about
trying to be someone.
296
00:20:21,846 --> 00:20:26,647
(man clears throat)
- Mm. Anyway, I... thank you.
297
00:20:26,809 --> 00:20:29,562
- Good night, Lady Thatcher.
- Good night to you.
298
00:20:32,148 --> 00:20:34,401
(man) I am so pleased to see
your mother looking so well.
299
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:37,446
(Carol) Yes, doesn't she.
(man) She certainly does.
300
00:20:37,611 --> 00:20:39,784
(Carol) William, great to see you,
thank you so much for coming.
301
00:20:39,947 --> 00:20:42,245
(William) Thank you.
It was lovely, absolutely lovely.
302
00:20:42,408 --> 00:20:44,877
(Carol) Can I call you a taxi?
(William) No, no...
303
00:20:48,414 --> 00:20:51,463
OK, hold on to me, that's right.
304
00:20:51,625 --> 00:20:52,717
Ah.
305
00:20:52,877 --> 00:20:55,300
(sighs) Better.
306
00:20:56,881 --> 00:20:59,805
Do the clasp. I can't quite...
307
00:20:59,967 --> 00:21:03,062
- OK.
(clears throat)
308
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:04,221
Yes.
309
00:21:05,806 --> 00:21:08,776
- Oh, you have an eyelash.
- Oh?
310
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:11,562
- Make a wish.
(chuckles)
311
00:21:16,859 --> 00:21:18,782
(laughs)
312
00:21:21,739 --> 00:21:24,413
Oh, I spoke to Dr. Michael today.
313
00:21:25,910 --> 00:21:29,164
He's very good. Very expensive.
314
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,835
I know you're not due
to see him for another month,
315
00:21:34,001 --> 00:21:37,551
but I've spoken to him
and he can fit you in tomorrow.
316
00:21:39,173 --> 00:21:40,265
Just for a checkup.
317
00:21:42,676 --> 00:21:44,678
Ma, please.
318
00:21:45,638 --> 00:21:48,107
What does Mark think about it?
319
00:21:49,225 --> 00:21:51,478
- Mark?
- Mm.
320
00:21:53,562 --> 00:21:57,192
Tell him to come up.
I want to talk to him about this.
321
00:21:58,943 --> 00:22:02,038
Mark's with Sarah and the children.
322
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:10,580
Well, tell him to come up and see me
after he's kissed them good night,
323
00:22:10,746 --> 00:22:13,044
would you, Carol, darling?
324
00:22:30,808 --> 00:22:32,810
He's not here, Mummy.
325
00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:37,114
Mark lives in South Africa.
326
00:22:40,734 --> 00:22:42,953
And you're not Prime Minister any more.
327
00:22:47,449 --> 00:22:50,123
And Dad is, uh...
328
00:22:50,286 --> 00:22:52,129
Dad is dead.
329
00:23:00,546 --> 00:23:03,095
You look exhausted, dear.
330
00:23:06,427 --> 00:23:11,183
You really must try
to get some sleep.
331
00:23:12,516 --> 00:23:15,144
(clears throat)
332
00:23:15,311 --> 00:23:19,236
Taxis will be few and far
between at this hour.
333
00:23:24,486 --> 00:23:27,456
Righty oh. Night-night, Ma.
Sleep well.
334
00:23:27,615 --> 00:23:29,959
Good night, dear.
335
00:23:44,381 --> 00:23:48,352
(orchestral music playing)
(chorus singing)
336
00:23:53,766 --> 00:23:57,361
(woman singing "Casta Diva")
337
00:24:16,622 --> 00:24:19,250
(radio announcer) Twenty-four-year-old
Miss Margaret Roberts lost her bid
338
00:24:19,416 --> 00:24:22,465
to win a seat in Parliament today,
but she has put new life
339
00:24:22,628 --> 00:24:24,801
into the Dartford
Conservative Association.
340
00:24:24,964 --> 00:24:27,433
Winning candidate, Mr. Dodds,
had better watch out.
341
00:24:27,591 --> 00:24:30,310
This bright young woman is on his tail.
342
00:24:33,597 --> 00:24:36,316
(chuckles)
343
00:24:40,688 --> 00:24:44,443
- Eat.
- Oh. Disaster.
344
00:24:44,608 --> 00:24:47,282
Hang on. Hang on.
345
00:24:47,444 --> 00:24:49,538
Hang on.
346
00:24:52,658 --> 00:24:55,537
You shaved thousands off their
majority. You did splendidly.
347
00:24:55,703 --> 00:24:58,047
Not splendidly enough.
348
00:24:58,205 --> 00:25:01,880
Ah, I see. Self-pity.
349
00:25:03,085 --> 00:25:06,180
No one's saying
you don't need a safe seat.
350
00:25:06,338 --> 00:25:08,090
You deserve a safe seat.
351
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,553
But it does not come unless
you learn to play the game a little.
352
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,020
- What game?
- You're a grocer's daughter.
353
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:19,230
- And proud of being...
- And in their eyes...
354
00:25:20,728 --> 00:25:23,151
...a single grocer's daughter.
355
00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:27,068
But if you were to become the wife
of a moderately successful businessman,
356
00:25:27,234 --> 00:25:29,407
then you'd get to Parliament.
357
00:25:29,570 --> 00:25:32,494
And I'd get to be the happiest man in...
358
00:25:33,073 --> 00:25:35,622
...wherever they select you.
359
00:25:49,173 --> 00:25:51,050
Margaret, will you marry me?
360
00:25:51,216 --> 00:25:53,218
(breath trembling)
361
00:25:56,055 --> 00:25:57,728
Well?
362
00:26:01,810 --> 00:26:03,608
Yes.
363
00:26:03,771 --> 00:26:05,694
Yes!
364
00:26:07,316 --> 00:26:09,114
- Oh...
- What?
365
00:26:09,276 --> 00:26:11,495
I love you so much, but...
366
00:26:11,653 --> 00:26:14,748
...I will never be one
of those women, Denis,
367
00:26:14,907 --> 00:26:18,332
who stays silent and pretty
on the arm of her husband.
368
00:26:18,494 --> 00:26:23,500
Or remote and alone in the kitchen,
doing the washing-up, for that matter.
369
00:26:23,665 --> 00:26:24,962
We'll get a help for that.
370
00:26:25,125 --> 00:26:30,973
No. One's life must matter, Denis.
371
00:26:31,131 --> 00:26:34,635
Beyond all the cooking
and the cleaning and the children,
372
00:26:34,802 --> 00:26:37,772
one's life must mean more than that.
373
00:26:38,472 --> 00:26:42,818
I cannot die washing up a tea cup.
374
00:26:42,976 --> 00:26:45,729
I mean it, Denis.
375
00:26:45,896 --> 00:26:48,399
Say you understand.
376
00:26:48,565 --> 00:26:52,240
That's why I want to marry you, my dear.
377
00:26:52,402 --> 00:26:54,530
Oh. (cries softly)
378
00:27:05,082 --> 00:27:06,880
(laughs)
379
00:27:09,711 --> 00:27:11,588
Now eat.
380
00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:17,979
("Shall We Dance" playing)
381
00:27:49,877 --> 00:27:53,723
(chuckling) (music fades)
382
00:27:59,136 --> 00:28:00,353
Oh!
383
00:28:01,305 --> 00:28:02,727
Oh...
384
00:28:07,394 --> 00:28:09,192
There we go.
385
00:28:15,819 --> 00:28:18,789
There they are, my little twins.
386
00:28:21,408 --> 00:28:23,410
(seagulls crying)
387
00:28:28,916 --> 00:28:31,590
(Margaret) Oh... Mark.
388
00:28:34,463 --> 00:28:35,680
(Denis) Cornwall, wasn't it?
389
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:37,762
Bloody hell.
390
00:28:39,801 --> 00:28:41,144
(Margaret laughs)
391
00:28:41,303 --> 00:28:43,897
(Denis) Look at 'em, little imps.
392
00:28:47,267 --> 00:28:50,237
You never really got golf,
did you'? (laughs)
393
00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:54,240
You look happy.
394
00:28:54,399 --> 00:28:56,697
Yes, I do, don't I?
395
00:28:56,860 --> 00:28:58,828
You're drinking too much.
396
00:29:00,739 --> 00:29:04,494
Whatcha doing?
Not like you, looking back.
397
00:29:04,660 --> 00:29:08,005
Don't want to dig around too deep, M,
don't know what you might find.
398
00:29:10,582 --> 00:29:12,425
You can rewind it,
but you can't change it.
399
00:29:14,711 --> 00:29:17,885
(Margaret) They grow up
so fast, don't they?
400
00:29:30,060 --> 00:29:33,064
(boy laughing)
401
00:29:33,230 --> 00:29:35,278
(Margaret chuckles)
402
00:29:38,652 --> 00:29:39,904
Mark.
403
00:29:41,822 --> 00:29:43,870
Oh...
404
00:29:56,503 --> 00:29:58,050
(man) Mr. Eric Deakins,
405
00:29:58,213 --> 00:30:02,764
Labor, 13,437.
406
00:30:07,889 --> 00:30:10,642
Mr. Ivan Spence, Liberal,
407
00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:14,939
12,260.
408
00:30:15,105 --> 00:30:18,530
(cheering)
- We won!
409
00:30:18,692 --> 00:30:21,696
Mrs. Margaret Thatcher,
Conservative,
410
00:30:21,862 --> 00:30:25,583
29,697.
411
00:30:25,741 --> 00:30:29,416
I can now announce the new
Member of Parliament for Finchley,
412
00:30:29,578 --> 00:30:32,001
- 1959...
- Come along, please!
413
00:30:32,164 --> 00:30:34,462
...Mrs. Margaret Thatcher.
414
00:30:40,380 --> 00:30:43,350
(children shouting)
415
00:30:43,508 --> 00:30:45,556
Please!
416
00:30:45,719 --> 00:30:47,437
Mummy, don't go!
417
00:30:47,596 --> 00:30:49,143
(engine starts)
418
00:30:49,306 --> 00:30:52,560
(children shouting)
419
00:30:52,726 --> 00:30:56,651
You promised! Hey! Mummy!
420
00:30:56,813 --> 00:30:59,032
Wait, Mummy!
421
00:31:00,067 --> 00:31:03,241
Please don't go!
422
00:31:52,202 --> 00:31:54,170
(high heels clicking)
423
00:32:04,047 --> 00:32:06,049
(lively chattering)
424
00:32:06,216 --> 00:32:07,763
(chattering stops)
425
00:32:07,926 --> 00:32:08,927
No.
426
00:32:09,636 --> 00:32:11,730
(door creaking) (man) Oh!
427
00:32:15,976 --> 00:32:18,445
(men's voices murmuring)
428
00:32:22,357 --> 00:32:23,904
(man) Mrs. Thatcher.
429
00:32:24,067 --> 00:32:26,240
Excuse me. Sorry.
430
00:32:26,403 --> 00:32:28,531
Mrs. Thatcher, Airey Neave.
431
00:32:28,697 --> 00:32:31,701
Welcome to the madhouse.
Follow me.
432
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,631
(Speaker) The Honorable Lady,
the Member of Parliament for Finchley!
433
00:32:44,796 --> 00:32:47,549
(loud arguing)
434
00:32:57,476 --> 00:33:00,229
Order! Order!
435
00:33:00,395 --> 00:33:03,444
The Right Honorable Lady,
the Secretary of State for Education.
436
00:33:03,607 --> 00:33:05,450
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
437
00:33:05,609 --> 00:33:09,113
The Right Honorable Gentleman
knows very well that we had no choice
438
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:11,782
- but to close the schools.
(shouting)
439
00:33:11,948 --> 00:33:14,872
- Shame!
- Disgrace!
440
00:33:16,244 --> 00:33:19,373
Because his union paymasters
441
00:33:19,539 --> 00:33:23,043
have called a strike deliberately
to cripple our economy.
442
00:33:23,210 --> 00:33:24,962
(arguing)
443
00:33:25,128 --> 00:33:28,177
- Rubbish!
- Teachers cannot teach
444
00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:32,265
when there is no heating,
no lighting in their classrooms.
445
00:33:32,427 --> 00:33:36,022
And I ask the Right Honorable
Gentleman, whose fault is that?
446
00:33:36,181 --> 00:33:38,149
(shouting) Yours!
447
00:33:42,312 --> 00:33:46,112
Methinks the Right Honorable
Lady doth screech too much.
448
00:33:46,274 --> 00:33:47,821
(laughter)
449
00:33:49,819 --> 00:33:52,823
And if she wants us
to take her seriously,
450
00:33:52,989 --> 00:33:55,208
she must learn to calm down!
451
00:33:55,367 --> 00:33:57,540
(laughter)
452
00:33:57,702 --> 00:34:00,706
- Very good!
- If the Right Honorable Gentleman
453
00:34:00,872 --> 00:34:04,251
could perhaps attend more closely
to what I am saying,
454
00:34:04,417 --> 00:34:07,341
rather than how I am saying it,
455
00:34:07,504 --> 00:34:12,351
he may receive a valuable
education in spite of himself!
456
00:34:12,509 --> 00:34:14,102
(laughter, murmuring)
457
00:34:14,261 --> 00:34:18,858
Why has... Why has this
Conservative government failed?
458
00:34:19,015 --> 00:34:21,438
(arguing)
- It hasn't failed.
459
00:34:21,601 --> 00:34:25,276
(man) Why has it forced
so many in the public sector
460
00:34:25,438 --> 00:34:29,739
into taking strike action
to save their own jobs?
461
00:34:29,901 --> 00:34:34,281
(shouting)
462
00:34:34,447 --> 00:34:39,248
Minister, the breakdown
in essential public services,
463
00:34:39,411 --> 00:34:43,132
in transport, in electricity,
in sanitation,
464
00:34:43,290 --> 00:34:45,418
is not the fault of the trade unions.
465
00:34:45,584 --> 00:34:47,837
It's entirely the fault
of the trade unions.
466
00:34:48,003 --> 00:34:50,097
But of this Conservative government
467
00:34:50,255 --> 00:34:52,724
in which you so shamefully serve!
468
00:34:52,882 --> 00:34:56,136
(shouting)
469
00:34:56,303 --> 00:34:58,772
(indistinct conversation)
470
00:35:06,938 --> 00:35:11,114
(man) These power cuts will continue
unless we can reach a compromise.
471
00:35:11,276 --> 00:35:15,076
The miners are asking
for a 35 percent increase in wages.
472
00:35:15,238 --> 00:35:17,912
Obviously, we can't
go anywhere near that.
473
00:35:18,074 --> 00:35:21,123
The unions are not our enemies
and never have been.
474
00:35:21,286 --> 00:35:24,881
We want, and have always wanted,
the broadest consensus.
475
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,044
- Hear, hear.
- I'm sure we are all in agreement
476
00:35:28,209 --> 00:35:29,756
that we must do nothing for the moment
477
00:35:29,919 --> 00:35:32,013
that will further inflame
the current situation.
478
00:35:32,172 --> 00:35:34,049
- Hear, hear, Prime Minister.
- The fact of the matter is,
479
00:35:34,215 --> 00:35:37,014
it's absolutely crucial
that we are seen by the public
480
00:35:37,177 --> 00:35:41,023
to be acting as conciliators
and not aggressors.
481
00:35:41,181 --> 00:35:43,354
Hear, hear.
482
00:35:46,102 --> 00:35:49,356
- Yes, Education Secretary.
- Yes, Prime Minister.
483
00:35:49,522 --> 00:35:51,274
With the miners' union leader today
484
00:35:51,441 --> 00:35:54,615
calling for the army to mutiny
in support of the strikes,
485
00:35:54,778 --> 00:35:57,327
this seems the wrong time
for conciliation.
486
00:35:58,948 --> 00:36:01,667
(groaning)
(Prime Minister) Be patient.
487
00:36:01,826 --> 00:36:03,874
They'll come back on
again in a moment.
488
00:36:04,037 --> 00:36:07,132
- Anybody got a shilling?
- Ah, Boy Scout.
489
00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:08,758
Be prepared.
490
00:36:08,917 --> 00:36:10,919
Thank you, Margaret.
491
00:36:11,086 --> 00:36:12,759
Oh! It lives.
492
00:36:12,921 --> 00:36:15,595
Your thoughts are duly noted.
493
00:36:19,052 --> 00:36:22,522
(Prime Minister echoing) Compromise,
compromise, compromise...
494
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,525
(Mr. Roberts)
We on this island are strong.
495
00:36:25,684 --> 00:36:27,561
We're self-reliant.
496
00:36:27,727 --> 00:36:31,072
Napoleon called us a nation
of shopkeepers.
497
00:36:31,231 --> 00:36:33,654
He meant it as an insult,
but to me it's a compliment.
498
00:36:33,817 --> 00:36:37,321
That's why he couldn't beat us,
that's why Hitler can't beat us.
499
00:36:40,156 --> 00:36:43,535
We Conservatives believe
in giving people the freedom
500
00:36:43,702 --> 00:36:48,048
and opportunity to fulfill their own
potential, especially the young.
501
00:36:48,206 --> 00:36:50,675
There's no good in pretending we're
all equal, we're not all the same,
502
00:36:50,834 --> 00:36:53,553
never have been, never will be.
503
00:36:53,712 --> 00:36:59,515
We should encourage our children
to aspire to achieve more than we have,
504
00:36:59,676 --> 00:37:03,180
for our children today
will be the leaders of tomorrow.
505
00:37:03,346 --> 00:37:04,393
(applause)
506
00:37:05,557 --> 00:37:08,436
(man on radio) It's 1974,
you'd think it was World War II.
507
00:37:08,601 --> 00:37:11,104
Blackouts, no petrol. It's a mess.
508
00:37:11,271 --> 00:37:13,273
Heath should resign now and make way
509
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,408
for someone who's not afraid
to tackle the unions.
510
00:37:15,567 --> 00:37:17,820
(Carol) I swear, it's all gone
completely out of my head.
511
00:37:17,986 --> 00:37:20,080
My driving instructor says
I should pass, but I feel
512
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:22,957
as if I've hardly had any lessons.
Which is ridiculous, isn't it?
513
00:37:23,116 --> 00:37:25,585
- Maybe third time lucky.
- Right.
514
00:37:25,744 --> 00:37:28,998
The only thing you should
remember is that everyone else
515
00:37:29,164 --> 00:37:33,385
is either reckless or inept.
Usually both.
516
00:37:33,543 --> 00:37:37,298
One must be brave if one
is to take the wheel.
517
00:37:37,464 --> 00:37:39,717
- Right oh.
- Right, move.
518
00:37:39,883 --> 00:37:41,180
Move to your right a little bit.
519
00:37:41,342 --> 00:37:43,640
But if I move to the right, aren't
I on the wrong side of the road?
520
00:37:43,803 --> 00:37:45,555
- Carol!
- Well, he's in the way!
521
00:37:45,722 --> 00:37:47,349
- To the right. Move to the right!
(Carol screams)
522
00:37:47,515 --> 00:37:49,813
(tires screech)
- Hey! Look out!
523
00:37:49,976 --> 00:37:52,980
So sorry! Terribly sorry!
524
00:37:53,146 --> 00:37:55,524
(laughing)
525
00:37:58,359 --> 00:38:00,157
(Carol) Hey, look at me, driving!
526
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,822
Thanks, Ma, that was terrific!
527
00:38:01,988 --> 00:38:03,661
I really feel like I've got
a handle on it now.
528
00:38:03,823 --> 00:38:04,995
You should have seen us, Pa.
529
00:38:05,158 --> 00:38:08,287
Are you trying to cook
your own breakfast?
530
00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:10,831
- Denis!
- I can boil a bloody egg.
531
00:38:10,997 --> 00:38:12,044
Mummy took me for a test drive.
532
00:38:12,207 --> 00:38:14,209
We went absolutely everywhere.
All over the place.
533
00:38:14,375 --> 00:38:17,970
- Yeah?
- I've decided. I'm going to run.
534
00:38:18,129 --> 00:38:19,255
What for?
535
00:38:21,132 --> 00:38:24,602
I'm going to run
for Leader of the Party.
536
00:38:29,766 --> 00:38:31,359
(Carol) Silly me!
(Denis) Good luck!
537
00:38:31,518 --> 00:38:33,191
(Carol) All the time I thought
I was having a driving lesson,
538
00:38:33,353 --> 00:38:35,481
it was all about my mother,
just for a change!
539
00:38:35,647 --> 00:38:38,526
- What's she on about?
(Denis) Her driving test this morning!
540
00:38:38,691 --> 00:38:42,161
- Oh, right. Of course.
- Are you saying you want
541
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,572
to be Prime Minister?
542
00:38:43,738 --> 00:38:49,586
Oh! What I'm saying is that
someone must force the point,
543
00:38:49,744 --> 00:38:51,838
someone must say the un-sayable.
544
00:38:51,996 --> 00:38:54,215
None of these men have the guts.
545
00:38:54,374 --> 00:38:56,342
(bell rings)
- The Prime Minister has been
546
00:38:56,501 --> 00:38:58,219
very loyal to you, MT.
547
00:38:58,378 --> 00:39:00,927
But he's weak,
and he's weakened the party.
548
00:39:02,298 --> 00:39:05,051
One must know when to go.
549
00:39:05,218 --> 00:39:06,765
You're shaking. Here, let me...
550
00:39:06,928 --> 00:39:08,521
I can do it!
551
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,899
Goodness me!
552
00:39:13,685 --> 00:39:15,358
What is the matter
with everyone this morning?
553
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,113
I've told you what the matter is.
554
00:39:17,272 --> 00:39:18,865
The business is a bit rocky
at the moment
555
00:39:19,023 --> 00:39:20,400
and the doctor says I need a rest.
556
00:39:20,567 --> 00:39:22,911
Do you need a rest?
557
00:39:23,069 --> 00:39:25,242
Oh, God.
558
00:39:25,405 --> 00:39:28,409
We both know it's highly unlikely
559
00:39:28,575 --> 00:39:30,202
that I would ever be elected leader.
560
00:39:30,368 --> 00:39:33,622
I'll never be elected leader.
But I will run. I will run.
561
00:39:33,788 --> 00:39:37,759
Just to nip at their heels and make them
reaffirm the principles on which
562
00:39:37,917 --> 00:39:40,796
- the Conservative Party must stand
(toaster pops)
563
00:39:43,923 --> 00:39:46,802
There's so much to do.
564
00:39:46,968 --> 00:39:49,471
You're insufferable,
Margaret, do you know that?
565
00:39:51,931 --> 00:39:53,808
Denis, you married someone
566
00:39:53,975 --> 00:39:58,105
who is committed to public service,
you knew that.
567
00:39:58,271 --> 00:40:01,150
- And it is my duty...
- Don't call it duty.
568
00:40:01,316 --> 00:40:04,286
It's ambition that's gotten
you this far. Ambition.
569
00:40:04,444 --> 00:40:09,166
And the rest of us, me, the children,
we can all go to hell!
570
00:40:10,575 --> 00:40:13,249
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine!
571
00:40:13,411 --> 00:40:15,379
Where did you go?
572
00:40:15,538 --> 00:40:17,711
- South Africa.
- Yes.
573
00:40:17,874 --> 00:40:21,924
(Denis) How many days passed
before you realized I'd gone?
574
00:40:22,086 --> 00:40:24,930
Probably had to ask
the cleaning woman where I was.
575
00:40:25,089 --> 00:40:28,059
When did I lose track of everyone?
576
00:40:29,093 --> 00:40:31,516
- Too busy climbing the greasy pole, MT.
- How did I...?
577
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:33,852
(man on TV) Mrs. Thatcher,
I understand you recently visited
578
00:40:34,015 --> 00:40:36,234
- the United States of America.
- Oh, oh...
579
00:40:36,392 --> 00:40:39,566
What is it you took away
from your visit which may be of value,
580
00:40:39,729 --> 00:40:43,575
- here in Great Britain?
- That's rather easy to answer.
581
00:40:43,733 --> 00:40:47,078
They are unafraid of success.
582
00:40:48,071 --> 00:40:50,290
We in Great Britain and in Europe
583
00:40:50,448 --> 00:40:53,201
are formed mostly by our history.
584
00:40:53,368 --> 00:40:56,918
They, on the other hand,
are formed by their philosophy.
585
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,630
Not by what has been,
but by what can be.
586
00:41:00,792 --> 00:41:04,217
Oh, we have a great deal that
we can learn from them, yes.
587
00:41:04,379 --> 00:41:05,756
Oh, yes!
588
00:41:10,426 --> 00:41:12,053
Well...
589
00:41:13,513 --> 00:41:15,436
Uh...
590
00:41:17,392 --> 00:41:20,817
For a start, that hat has got to go.
591
00:41:20,979 --> 00:41:22,572
And the pearls.
592
00:41:22,730 --> 00:41:27,076
In fact,
I think all hats may have to go.
593
00:41:27,235 --> 00:41:31,866
You look and sound like
a privileged Conservative wife,
594
00:41:32,031 --> 00:41:33,499
and we've already got her vote.
595
00:41:33,658 --> 00:41:36,707
You've got lovely hair,
but we need to do something
596
00:41:36,869 --> 00:41:38,621
with it, to make it more...
597
00:41:38,788 --> 00:41:41,632
- Important.
- Yes. Give it more impact.
598
00:41:41,791 --> 00:41:44,590
But the main thing is your voice.
599
00:41:44,752 --> 00:41:47,221
It's too high,
and it has no authority.
600
00:41:47,380 --> 00:41:50,224
Methinks the lady
doth screech too much.
601
00:41:50,383 --> 00:41:54,229
People don't want to be harangued
by a woman or hectored.
602
00:41:54,387 --> 00:41:58,858
Persuaded, yes. That "Oh, yes,"
at the end of the interview,
603
00:41:59,017 --> 00:42:01,486
that's authoritative,
that's the voice of a leader.
604
00:42:01,644 --> 00:42:03,191
Quite.
605
00:42:03,354 --> 00:42:07,029
It's all very well to talk
about changing my voice, Mr. Reece,
606
00:42:07,191 --> 00:42:12,413
but for some of my colleagues to imagine
me as their leader...
607
00:42:12,572 --> 00:42:15,542
...would be like imagining,
I don't know,
608
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:18,169
being led into battle
by their chambermaid.
609
00:42:18,327 --> 00:42:21,331
It's my background and my sex.
610
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:27,008
No matter how I've tried,
and I have tried, to fit in,
611
00:42:27,170 --> 00:42:29,593
I know I will never be
truly one of them.
612
00:42:29,756 --> 00:42:32,930
If I may say so, I think
that's your trump card.
613
00:42:33,092 --> 00:42:36,141
You're flying in the face of everything
the Tories have been thus far.
614
00:42:36,304 --> 00:42:39,979
It's really terribly exciting.
615
00:42:40,141 --> 00:42:44,066
One simply has
to maximize your appeal,
616
00:42:44,228 --> 00:42:46,447
bring out all your qualities,
617
00:42:46,606 --> 00:42:50,486
and make you look, and sound,
like the leader that you could be.
618
00:42:50,651 --> 00:42:52,449
You've got it in you
to go the whole distance.
619
00:42:52,612 --> 00:42:53,909
Absolutely.
620
00:42:54,072 --> 00:42:57,793
What... Prime Minister?
621
00:42:59,410 --> 00:43:03,631
Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no.
622
00:43:03,790 --> 00:43:05,463
In Britain?
623
00:43:05,625 --> 00:43:09,721
There will be no
female Prime Minister here,
624
00:43:09,879 --> 00:43:13,383
not in my lifetime. No.
625
00:43:13,549 --> 00:43:17,520
And I told Airey, I don't
expect to win the leadership,
626
00:43:17,678 --> 00:43:21,649
but I am going to run,
just to shake up the party.
627
00:43:21,808 --> 00:43:25,312
Respectfully, Margaret, I disagree.
628
00:43:25,478 --> 00:43:28,652
If you want to change this party,
lead it.
629
00:43:28,815 --> 00:43:30,442
If you want to change
the country, lead it.
630
00:43:30,608 --> 00:43:33,487
What we're talking
about here today is surface.
631
00:43:33,653 --> 00:43:36,907
What's crucial is
that you hold your course,
632
00:43:37,073 --> 00:43:38,916
and stay true to who you are.
633
00:43:39,075 --> 00:43:41,328
Never be anything
other than yourself.
634
00:43:41,494 --> 00:43:43,872
Leave us to do the rest.
635
00:43:50,878 --> 00:43:54,178
Gentlemen, I am in your hands.
636
00:43:54,340 --> 00:43:58,095
I may be persuaded
to surrender the hat.
637
00:43:58,261 --> 00:44:02,311
But the pearls were a gift from my
husband on the birth of our twins,
638
00:44:02,473 --> 00:44:05,272
and, um,
639
00:44:05,434 --> 00:44:09,189
they are absolutely non-negotiable.
640
00:44:10,690 --> 00:44:13,068
And... (vocalizing)
641
00:44:13,234 --> 00:44:15,111
(vocalizing)
642
00:44:15,278 --> 00:44:18,077
Good, I think we can lose
the handbag, Mrs. Thatcher. Yes?
643
00:44:19,031 --> 00:44:20,908
And hands down by side.
644
00:44:21,075 --> 00:44:24,830
(vocalizing) Right up.
(vocalizing)
645
00:44:24,996 --> 00:44:26,589
(both vocalizing)
646
00:44:26,747 --> 00:44:29,921
Because this isn't about the voice,
it's about belief.
647
00:44:30,084 --> 00:44:34,260
The very core. So a nice deep breath
and really fill out against my hands.
648
00:44:34,422 --> 00:44:36,424
(both vocalizing)
649
00:44:39,385 --> 00:44:40,807
You're calling Mr. Thatcher,
how would you do that?
650
00:44:40,970 --> 00:44:43,473
- Denis.
- Yes, I want authority.
651
00:44:43,639 --> 00:44:44,982
- I want conviction, I want...
- Denis.
652
00:44:45,141 --> 00:44:47,519
That's right, one more time,
and breathing in. And...
653
00:44:47,685 --> 00:44:48,857
Denis.
654
00:44:49,020 --> 00:44:52,991
- Yes, M!
- Sorry. No, no, no.
655
00:44:54,609 --> 00:44:57,328
(Margaret) You are the backbone
of our nation!
656
00:44:57,486 --> 00:44:59,784
Small firms like
Loveday's Ice Cream.
657
00:44:59,947 --> 00:45:01,915
- So nice to meet you, ladies.
- Nice to meet you.
658
00:45:02,074 --> 00:45:05,669
I'll just have a small one,
because I'm watching my figure.
659
00:45:05,828 --> 00:45:08,001
Whoo! That's for you, young man!
660
00:45:08,164 --> 00:45:10,758
(Margaret) I passionately
believe that it's the growth
661
00:45:10,917 --> 00:45:13,716
of small businesses
into larger ones
662
00:45:13,878 --> 00:45:16,131
that is critical for Britain's future.
663
00:45:16,297 --> 00:45:19,392
Well, it has to be something icy
on a stick for Denis.
664
00:45:19,550 --> 00:45:23,600
That's the only way
that we will produce jobs,
665
00:45:23,763 --> 00:45:26,391
real jobs, jobs that sustain.
666
00:45:29,477 --> 00:45:33,232
The Trade Union Movement
was founded to protect workers.
667
00:45:33,397 --> 00:45:38,324
Now it persecutes them.
It stops them from working.
668
00:45:38,486 --> 00:45:42,081
It is killing jobs and it is bringing
this country to its knees.
669
00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:45,790
I say enough.
It's time to get up.
670
00:45:45,952 --> 00:45:47,954
It's time to go to work.
671
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:52,876
It's time to put the "Great"
back into Great Britain!
672
00:45:54,085 --> 00:45:55,678
(man) The incompetence
of the Labor government...
673
00:45:55,836 --> 00:45:58,089
(vocalizing)
- ...continue to misinform
674
00:45:58,256 --> 00:46:02,477
and spend in this incessant
and blasé manner.
675
00:46:02,635 --> 00:46:05,559
- We have paid the price...
- Mrs. Thatcher, they're ready for you.
676
00:46:05,721 --> 00:46:08,190
- Thank you.
- Give 'em hell.
677
00:46:08,349 --> 00:46:09,601
(applause)
- You look magnificent.
678
00:46:09,767 --> 00:46:11,269
Next stop, Prime Minister.
679
00:46:11,435 --> 00:46:13,233
- Oh, Airey...
- Let's go.
680
00:46:13,396 --> 00:46:14,943
(man) The new leader
of the Conservative Party,
681
00:46:15,106 --> 00:46:18,326
- Margaret Thatcher!
(cheering, whistling)
682
00:46:29,245 --> 00:46:31,418
(applause fades)
683
00:46:36,294 --> 00:46:38,137
(sniffles) Hm...
684
00:46:43,718 --> 00:46:45,595
(Airey) Good night, Margaret.
- Oh...
685
00:46:45,761 --> 00:46:47,980
My money's on the filly to win.
686
00:46:48,139 --> 00:46:51,814
(laughs) Oh...
Thanks, Airey. Good night.
687
00:46:56,564 --> 00:47:01,195
(loud booming)
(debris clattering)
688
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:02,577
No!
689
00:47:02,737 --> 00:47:05,741
No, no! No! Airey!
690
00:47:07,241 --> 00:47:08,458
Ai Fey!
691
00:47:10,244 --> 00:47:11,996
(no audible dialogue)
692
00:47:13,414 --> 00:47:15,587
(newscaster) The Irish National
Liberation Army has claimed
693
00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:18,845
responsibility
for the death of MP Airey Neave,
694
00:47:19,003 --> 00:47:22,177
Margaret Thatcher's spokesman
on Northern Ireland.
695
00:47:33,642 --> 00:47:36,646
(Airey) If you want
to change the party, lead it.
696
00:47:36,812 --> 00:47:39,861
If you want to change
the country, lead it.
697
00:47:40,024 --> 00:47:43,449
You've got it in you
to go the whole distance.
698
00:47:45,404 --> 00:47:50,205
(up-tempo music plays)
- Now, as the test draws near,
699
00:47:50,368 --> 00:47:52,587
- I ask your help.
(applause)
700
00:47:52,745 --> 00:47:56,841
That together we can shake off
the shackles of Socialism
701
00:47:56,999 --> 00:48:01,425
and restore to greatness this
country that we love...
702
00:48:01,587 --> 00:48:05,808
And the only way is
for the Conservative Party to win!
703
00:48:05,966 --> 00:48:07,183
(applause)
704
00:48:07,343 --> 00:48:10,347
(newscaster) Is she gonna get there?
Watch those blocks rise...
705
00:48:10,513 --> 00:48:12,481
Go, Maggie!
706
00:48:34,912 --> 00:48:37,665
(newscaster) It's Friday the 4th
of May, an historic day for Britain,
707
00:48:37,832 --> 00:48:41,211
a Conservative government
led by Mrs. Thatcher is set to lead...
708
00:48:41,377 --> 00:48:44,130
(newscaster 2) Mrs. Bandaranaike
in Sri Lanka, Mrs. Gandhi in India,
709
00:48:44,296 --> 00:48:47,015
but never in the West has there
ever been a woman Prime Minister.
710
00:48:47,174 --> 00:48:49,643
(newscaster 3) The place that she has
now secured in British history,
711
00:48:49,802 --> 00:48:52,225
as the first woman ever to be
invited to form a government.
712
00:48:52,388 --> 00:48:54,686
The bonus of one of the most
famous addresses in the world,
713
00:48:54,849 --> 00:48:56,317
Number 10 Downing Street.
714
00:48:56,475 --> 00:48:59,695
This is it.
Steady the buffs, old girl.
715
00:49:08,529 --> 00:49:11,248
- Good afternoon.
- Congratulations, Prime Minister.
716
00:49:11,407 --> 00:49:14,206
(cheering)
- I should just like to say
717
00:49:14,368 --> 00:49:18,043
that I take very seriously
the trust placed in me
718
00:49:18,205 --> 00:49:23,006
by the British people today,
and I will work hard every day
719
00:49:23,169 --> 00:49:25,672
to live up to that responsibility.
720
00:49:25,838 --> 00:49:28,762
And now, I should like to share with you
721
00:49:28,924 --> 00:49:32,349
a prayer of St. Francis of Assisi.
722
00:49:35,014 --> 00:49:39,861
Where there is discord,
may we bring harmony.
723
00:49:40,019 --> 00:49:43,819
Where there is error,
may we bring truth.
724
00:49:44,523 --> 00:49:48,744
Where there is doubt,
may we bring faith.
725
00:49:48,903 --> 00:49:53,534
And where there is despair,
may we bring hope.
726
00:50:04,752 --> 00:50:06,971
- Shoulders back, tummies in!
(laughter)
727
00:50:07,129 --> 00:50:10,008
(speaks indistinctly)
- Thank you, Michael.
728
00:50:10,174 --> 00:50:13,769
(laughs)
(man) Look this way, please.
729
00:50:13,928 --> 00:50:15,225
Three, two, one.
730
00:50:25,105 --> 00:50:28,951
(Carol) Robert, could you bring the car
around? She's been ready for ages.
731
00:50:29,985 --> 00:50:32,829
(muttering)
732
00:50:33,489 --> 00:50:36,993
I am perfectly healthy.
733
00:50:37,576 --> 00:50:40,500
No need for any of this.
734
00:50:40,663 --> 00:50:43,007
Just let them look
under the bonnet, MT.
735
00:50:43,165 --> 00:50:45,463
Make sure everything is hunky dory.
736
00:50:45,626 --> 00:50:50,132
Oh, really, this is
becoming quite tiresome.
737
00:50:50,297 --> 00:50:52,299
- What is?
- You.
738
00:50:52,466 --> 00:50:58,098
I was on my own
for 24 years before I met you,
739
00:50:58,264 --> 00:51:02,440
and I can manage perfectly well
without you now.
740
00:51:03,435 --> 00:51:05,984
So will you please go away,
741
00:51:06,146 --> 00:51:08,820
and stop bothering me?
742
00:51:08,983 --> 00:51:12,704
Just look straight ahead,
straight at me, that's it.
743
00:51:12,861 --> 00:51:15,740
- Are you noticing night sweats?
- No.
744
00:51:16,657 --> 00:51:20,082
- Hallucinations?
- No.
745
00:51:21,620 --> 00:51:25,090
- Sleep?
- Yes. I sleep.
746
00:51:25,249 --> 00:51:27,422
Four, five hours a night.
747
00:51:27,585 --> 00:51:29,587
So you wake early?
748
00:51:29,753 --> 00:51:33,257
And I stay up late. I always have.
749
00:51:33,424 --> 00:51:35,518
We just want to keep
abreast of it, that's all.
750
00:51:35,676 --> 00:51:38,429
Yes. Of course.
751
00:51:38,596 --> 00:51:40,974
Grief is a very natural state.
752
00:51:41,140 --> 00:51:44,064
My husband has
been gone for years.
753
00:51:44,226 --> 00:51:46,194
Cancer.
754
00:51:46,353 --> 00:51:50,153
Carol says you've decided to let his
things go. Probably a good thing.
755
00:51:50,316 --> 00:51:53,069
Yes. It was my idea. To Oxfam.
756
00:51:53,235 --> 00:51:57,411
Perfectly good stuff.
People can use these things.
757
00:51:57,573 --> 00:51:59,325
Hm...
758
00:51:59,491 --> 00:52:01,619
Still, it must be a bit disorientating.
759
00:52:01,785 --> 00:52:05,164
- You are bound to be feeling...
- What?
760
00:52:06,832 --> 00:52:10,086
What am I "bound to be feeling"?
761
00:52:12,463 --> 00:52:15,262
People don't think any more.
They feel.
762
00:52:15,424 --> 00:52:18,849
"How are you feeling?"
"Oh, I don't feel comfortable."
763
00:52:19,011 --> 00:52:21,764
"Oh, I'm so sorry,
we, the group, we're feeling..."
764
00:52:21,930 --> 00:52:26,151
(clears throat) Do you know,
one of the great problems of our age
765
00:52:26,310 --> 00:52:29,814
is that we are governed by people
who care more about feelings
766
00:52:29,980 --> 00:52:33,359
than they do about thoughts and ideas?
767
00:52:33,525 --> 00:52:37,575
Now, thoughts and ideas,
that interests me.
768
00:52:37,738 --> 00:52:40,958
Ask me what I am thinking.
769
00:52:41,116 --> 00:52:43,539
What are you thinking, Margaret?
770
00:52:44,995 --> 00:52:47,544
Watch your thoughts,
for they become words.
771
00:52:47,706 --> 00:52:50,960
Watch your words,
for they become actions.
772
00:52:52,336 --> 00:52:56,182
Watch your actions,
for they become habits.
773
00:52:56,340 --> 00:52:59,844
Watch your habits,
for they become your character.
774
00:53:00,010 --> 00:53:04,311
And watch your character,
for it becomes your destiny.
775
00:53:04,473 --> 00:53:06,726
What we think, we become.
776
00:53:08,143 --> 00:53:11,022
My father always said that.
777
00:53:11,188 --> 00:53:14,067
And I think I am fine.
778
00:53:14,233 --> 00:53:16,782
(buzzer sounds)
779
00:53:19,321 --> 00:53:22,916
But I do so appreciate
your kind concern.
780
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,128
(buzzer sounds)
