:09:09
I'd forgotten how much petrol
the Daimler uses.

:09:12
It's an impractical motor to be
going about the country, Mister....

:09:17
Smith. Harry Smith. It's a privilege
to have you here in Moscombe.

:09:21
-It's a privilege to be here.
-Your health, sir.

:09:24
Dr. Carlisle usually drops in
around now. He'd enjoy meeting you.

:09:28
He's a gentleman like yourself.
:09:30
I don't know what you call
a gentleman.

:09:33
It's a name every man
in this country has a right to.

:09:36
There's Harry Smith now, giving
you an earful of his philosophy.

:09:40
We English...
:09:41
...have the advantage and privilege
of expressing our opinions...

:09:45
...and voting for Parliament.
That's what we fought Hitler for.

:09:49
Have you had much to do
with politics yourself?

:09:53
Not directly as such, no,
particularly in these days.

:09:58
Perhaps more so in the early 1 930s
and just before the war.

:10:02
My concern was more
international affairs.

:10:05
Or foreign policy, so to speak.
:10:10
Not that I ever held high office,
mind you.

:10:15
No, any influence I exerted
was in an unofficial capacity.

:10:19
Excuse me, sir.
:10:21
Have you ever met Mr. Churchill?
:10:24
He came to the house occasionally.
Again, in the early 1 930s.

:10:29
He was a bloody warmonger!
:10:31
Honestly, Harry! We wouldn't have won
the war without him.

:10:35
Not content to fight Germans,
he sent troops in against the miners.

:10:39
-What about the war?
-Yes, all right.

:10:41
He did well in the war,
but he should've stepped down.

:10:44
-And Mr. Eden?
-He made a right bugger of Suez!

:10:48
Yes, I met Mr. Eden.
Yes, occasionally.

:10:51
How do you do? Richard Carlisle.
:10:53
Rotten luck about your car,
but nice to have you.

:10:56
-Everyone has been most kind.
-He says he knows foreign affairs.
