Oh.

Hello. Welcome. Come
in. Mrs Thatcher. Hello.

I must introduce
all our friends.

I'm Lucy. You're Lucy.
Welcome, Lucy, dear.

Oh. Come in and go and sit down.

I'm Alice. Alice. And
where are you from, Alice?

Hayling Island. Hayling Island.

I'm Jane. Jane. From
Newport. From Newport, Wales.

I'm Philip. And
Philip. From Wales.

And let me think. Lucy was
from Scotland, wasn't she? Yes.

Come along in, Philip.
Good, good, good.

Come along, Jimmy.
Nice to see you. Wonderful.

Right.

Excuse me a minute,
Malcolm. Hello.

Can I help you? Um. Yes. It
says outside you sell Gay News.

Yes. Would you like a copy?

Yes, please.

It's 25p, please.

Thanks very much.

Would you like some
coffee while you're here?

Yes, please. Right. Well,
let's get some over there.

What else do you do in SMG?

I mean, apart from
selling papers and things?

Well, we have weekly meetings -

we have discussions and
guest speakers, for example.

And social events too.

In fact, we're having
a disco this evening.

But not in here,
I hasten to add.

Really? A disco? What, you
mean men dancing with men?

And women with women. Yes.

It doesn't seem
possible in Scotland.

It happens in Scotland, yes.

Have you been to
a gay disco before?

No. I don't think I'd have the
nerve. What do people wear?

Exactly the same sort of thing
as you and I are wearing now.

Would you like to
come along? Well, yes.

THATCHER: I believe we shall only
succeed in maintaining and securing

our traditional tolerance
and fairness in this country

if we cut the number of
immigrants coming in now.

APPLAUSE ON TV

I think Mrs Thatcher's
remarks are very much racist,

and there are people within
even the parliamentary Tory party

who are saying that she shouldn't
have said some of these things.

What do you think she actually
said? Well, she was trying to say,

well, immigration, number of
people coming in should be cut down.

What she hasn't said - that
out of 70,000 immigrants

who came in recently, it's...
Less than half were black people.

You know, those are
the ones she's getting at.

She's not talking about
immigrants. I think we ought

to make the difference between the
euphemistic term of the word and...

She just wants to stop
black immigration. Course.

That's what she... What effect
do you think her words will have?

Well, I think it's going to add
to the conflict and the violence

in places like this where
Powell has sown his seeds.

Yeah. It's not going to help.

We were given
some clogs tonight.

Don't you think
they're very smart?

They look enormous. I can't
think whether they're easy to wear,

but I must try. "Lancashire
Clogs. Clog maker."

What are you going
to do with them?

Well, I'm going to try them
on first. But they tell me

I shall be able to go
canvassing or something in them.

But don't you have to
sort of rock in a clog?

You don't walk, you gently rock.

Sounds like "rock, rock, rock
around the clock", doesn't it?

LAUGHTER I'll try them on

and see if they're comfortable.

Could you stay with your
fantasy, Alison...and maybe just

say...stay with it
with your eyes closed

and just share with us what's
happening for you in your fantasy?

In the first part of my fantasy,

I was in a South Sea island-type
place with a beautiful blue lagoon.

And just...just alternating
between swimming

and lying on the beach
and not having to do anything

or think about anything
or worry about anything.

Just... Just letting go.

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

Just... Just doing nothing.

Just being.

Do you find that
difficult to do here? Mm.

Could you let yourself
do nothing right now?

Or talk about what makes
it difficult for you to do that?

I think I feel that
if I do nothing...

..um, I'm not... I
almost don't exist.

If people can't see
me doing anything...

..I'm worthless somehow.

WHIRRING

Of all the hundreds of
aeroplanes we've recovered

over the last ten years,

very, very few still
have the pilots in them.

And if we were certain that
the pilot was still in there,

I think we'd probably think twice
about the recovery operation.

Got the wheel.

ALL: Compass.

We seem to have come
across the cockpit area now,

but a lot of the wreckage is
mixed...mixed up together,

and obviously on impact all
the wreckage has concertinaed

down into the cockpit area.

I don't think it was really
recognisable as human remains,

isn't it, those two feet?

The thing now is
to inform the police.

It's a very, very rare
occurrence that we find an aircraft

with the remains
of the pilot on board.

Most of them bailed out safely.

In this instance, the aeroplane
dived into the ground at high speed,

buried itself about 25ft.

And the facilities that they had
at the time just weren't sufficient

to recover the
aircraft or the pilot.

So we shall now have
to notify the authorities.

We have to think in terms
of several parliaments.

We have to move this
country in a new direction,

to change the way
we look at things,

to create a wholly
new attitude of mind.

Can it be done?

Well, the people have taken
the first step by electing us.

We say to them, yes, the
Conservatives CAN do it

and we WILL do it.

Time to shake off the self-doubt

induced by decades of
dependence on the state as master

and not a servant.

Remains there in
two plastic sacks.

So that's our sort of
business done now.

You've actually recovered
the remains from the aircraft?

From the aircraft? Yeah.

But these... When we were
filling the site back in again,

we come across this, you know,
amongst the rubbish and stuff.

What sort of an aeroplane
was it? A Hurricane.

And there's some of the
remains of the aircraft,

along with the two
sacks of bits and pieces.

It's definitely a Hurricane?
Yes, it smells a bit as well.

That's the remains of...

..of him. It's a bit...

That's a skeleton, is it?

Well, bones and bits and pieces.

Yeah, probably.

It's a bit... OK. Yeah.

It's more, um...

..a mud, right, than a...

Yeah.

Smells typical Sheppey soil,
doesn't it? You know, yuck.

If the remains
are sorted through

and the bits of uniform
are sorted through,

presumably there's some form
of identification there somewhere.

We don't relish the thought
of sort of picking it about.

We shall have to do
that. Yeah, we'll do that.

I'm aware that I really am
enjoying you for the first time.

I've only been in a group
with you a couple of times

and I haven't liked your
smile and your talk. I'm sorry.

I think you're
pretty and attractive,

but I haven't liked your way,
and I suddenly find myself liking

this kind of slightly
spare, empty look.

It interests me very much.

And my interest...

I arranged for a postmortem

on the body.

And, um, in addition to
the human remains, um,

there were found the

and also the pilot's own
identification number.

And these details were
fed to the Royal Air Force

and their records
were able to establish

the identity of the pilot.

VIOLIN SOLO

Do you drink? No, I don't.

No, it doesn't interest
me in the slightest.

I have nothing against it
at all. The wife can't stand it.

She... She can't stand it. She'd
run a mile rather than, you know...

Um, but I have nothing
against it whatever.

Do you smoke? No, I
don't smoke. No, I used to,

and I used to thoroughly enjoy
it. Well, not to split an infinitive,

I used thoroughly to
enjoy it, you know. Um...

Do you ever go to the
pictures? No, I don't now,

because the wife's view
of pictures and everything

is different from
mine, you know,

and she might think this
was offensive, you know,

which to me wouldn't be.
You understand what I mean?

We live in different worlds,
I'm afraid. Different worlds.

It can't be helped. It's just
the way it is. So I don't bother.

And if I were to go by myself, I
suppose she would probably think

I was with somebody else.
You understand what I mean?

Um, so, uh, I don't... I just
don't bother. I've given up.

I've completely given
up. You know, I'm just...

Really... It sounds
ridiculous to you, of course,

and you won't believe it,

and none of the people
who see this will believe it.

But I'm just waiting to be measured
up for the old box, you know.

Yeah.

You know, the six foot by
two. You know, that one? Yeah.

We arrived and those other
boats that were in the near vicinity,

yhey were already
lifting the survivors.

What was the state of
Lord Mountbatten's boat?

Well, it was nonexistent.

It was just in small,
very small pieces.

It's just blown to small bits.

And how loud was the explosion?

Well, it was very loud.

In fact, everybody
in the village heard it.

Talking of the cinema, would
you like to accompany me

to the Roxy tonight?

Oh, well, I don't know.

Oh, I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking I
might make a pass.

And because I'm your employer,
if you didn't do what you're told,

I might make things
difficult for you.

Like losing you your
job. SHE GIGGLES

But I wouldn't
do things like that.

No. All I want is the companionship
of a... of a beautiful woman.

Well, take your wife.
I'm sure she's beautiful.

Yes. It's often been said
that my wife has the face

that could launch
a thousand ships.

You mean she's
like Helen of Troy?

No, she looks like a docker.

Do you believe in astrology?

Yes, I do.

I find I'm at ease most
with other fire signs,

which are Leo and Aries.

You're a Sagittarian, I gather.

Yes, that's correct. And that,
of course, is a very strong sign.

Just by virtue of
the fact that you...

..you have a routine,
you have a family,

and your horizons are limited,

obviously, you just are not able

to get out into the wide
world and meet people,

and this is one way of doing it.

Visual impressions
are very important.

And if you can see somebody,
you more or less know straight away

whether you think you
will like them or not.

With the video type
of dating system,

you can have a look at them.

If you don't like them, then you
just whizz on to somebody else.

Other times, you can see
somebody who you think is fantastic

and they open their mouth
and they put their foot in it.

My job, it's very boring...

..and, of course,
it's very tiring.

But I tend to find that now,

after the amount of
years I've done on the job,

I can cope with it.

Some days the
boredom gets so bad

that I have to walk
away from the machine,

because I tend to get angry

when I really go over
the top with boredom.

One of the main things about
it was the feeling that you got

from the body of the church,
from the singing in the church.

There was a lot of
feeling, a lot of emotion,

people thinking about
their wedding days

and their baptisms and so forth.

I think... Well, even...

..even I think about bringing
four daughters up the aisle

to be married, giving them away.

Monetarism worked
throughout the 19th century,

when we were the

with our people growing in

generally - despite all
the horrors of the time,

with the world looking
to us for how to do it.

It could work again.

There arose a slightly

Hmm.

That's where the punk groups
play. They stay open pretty late.

It's great. You know, like,
anybody can go to the Harp.

There's never any

religious factions in there, you

They just want to hear the

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Well, about a month
ago, he developed a rash,

which he'd had
over 12 months ago.

And the rash, when he had
it 12 months or more ago,

we took him to the vet

and he told us it was a sort of a
fungus, which we'd have to watch.

He had treatment for
about two months more,

and the rash did clear up.

Then, as I said, it reoccurred
again about a month ago,

and on being taken to the vet's,

we were informed that
he was changing sex.

Well, you can imagine
that this was a shock to us.

Um, the vet went on
to explain that, um,

his male organs
were disappearing,

and, as such, he was developing
very prominent female organs.

He's an immensely
masculine looking dog.

Yes. This is a sort of tragedy.

I mean, I look at
Bruno and I think, well,

I can't imagine you
as being feminine.

He's too masculine.

But apparently, according
to what the vet told us,

that, with having the
operation, the dog should be,

you know, a completely new dog.

I think we'll have
coffee instead.

It's all so much
quicker, isn't it?

No-one could call this

a particularly grand
kitchen, Prime Minister.

No, it isn't. And you
see what I mean -

there's absolutely no way in
which you could eat in here,

because there's no place
where you can get a small table in.

And I've always longed
for a really lovely kitchen,

which I've never really had,
one that would go straight out

onto a patio where
you can have breakfast.

Always wanted that but
never had it. However...

Oh, great.

All right?

There's some cards there. Yeah.

Letters. I hope no bills.
Probably bills, yeah.

I'll have a look upstairs, then.

no job prospects whatsoever.

ANGRY BOOING

Sorry about the
warmth of the welcome.

Oh, but that was
absolutely terrific, wasn't it?

Which factories closed?

A small one which has
suffered from lack of investment,

among other things.

This is what would
normally be a working day,

it's the middle of the week,
and we're now down in this plant,

which produces well over
half the cast-iron baths

of the United Kingdom, onto
one week on, one week off.

And that's an immediate
and practical effect

of the strict monetarism policy
that the Government is carrying out.

The managing director
said, "I'm very sorry to tell you,

"but as from this minute

"the firm has gone into
voluntary liquidation."

And that was it.

"Will we get any wages?"

as a weapon for
controlling money supply,

what is the first thing
that has to be cut?

Investment.

Because you still
have to pay wages

and you still have to
pay your current costs.

One day, we may
be able to afford it.

Beresford, he knew.

He was talking to me
about the terrible things

that were going

He said, "I just can't stand
the way he frigs about in the air

"every time there's a blitz on.

"We all shout at him that
he's not following the vectors

"given by the controller,
but it makes no difference.

"He just goes the wrong way

"and then circles and
circles around in the air.

"This afternoon, we all saw
the bombs crashing below us.

"Way over to the east, on the
oil tanks in the Thames Estuary.

"But do you think that
made any difference to him?

"No. He just went on
circling at about 18,000ft.

"He didn't seem to
hear or see anything."

But they all disappeared
in the same way,

and I don't know how many of
them were ever, ever found again.

Presumably. Like Hugh
Beresford, they maybe...

..may have just dug themselves
into the ground somewhere.

It cost us...

..lives. Lives.

I don't know how many lives.

Yes, please.

What do you do then?

I'm going to the

I get more money for not being

I don't think that series is
socially damaging. I hope it isn't,

otherwise we really
oughtn't to be doing it.

But I think that what people get
out of that is a lot of enjoyment.

I don't think it's at the
expense of the characters.

I think there is a
multiracial community

working in that classroom at
some level, which is enjoyable,

which may make people who
are not members of any of those

racial minorities

they're a load of hooligans,
whatever their views are,

and it's best just to
leave them alone?

How can you leave them alone

when they beat your
mothers and children, huh?

You tell us to leave them
alone. The right question.

Is this the first time this has
happened on this sort of scale?

Yeah. Never happened before.

It's happened at schools, right?

Like, they're taking
their little kids to school,

Indian women, and
skinheads are beating them up.

Yeah. And this
time it got worse.

So, nobody wants to know, so
we had to do what we could do

for our people.

We've been telling the police,

we've been telling
the local authority

that Southall is going
to explode tomorrow.

Because in view of the kind
of racial harassment of blacks

in Southall, nothing
is being done.

They don't want to know to.

It's come to the extent where
Southall will explode tomorrow.

So there's plenty
of room this year,

but we haven't got Princess
Anne there, have we?

No, no, we haven't. No,
it's just these two here.

Just the two
there. Is that far...?

That's about right
for the moment.

Well, I'm just wondering.
Plenty of room.

Forward a bit, do you think?

Well, you've only got the pages.

I think they want to be
slightly in view of Her Majesty.

As long as they have enough
room for their feet, you know?

That's it. That's it. That's it.

I think that's about right.

That's right. Plus you
have a small button.

Yes.

Well, Duke of
Gloucester, Duke of Kent.

Yes. Then we fill up that
particular bench there... That's right.

..with the senior peers,
and that's eight of them.

Oh, yes. That's right.

And then you were asking about...
The ambassadors along there

after the royal ladies, and
the overflow just above.

That's it. And then we start the
duchesses there and carry on

in order of precedence
in the usual way.

And I'd like to know who's
the head ambassador,

because I rather like to
come and say hello to him.

I think he's Tonga
this year. I'm not sure,

but I think we'll find out.

Yeah, when I started work, I
wore a split skirt up to the knee

and the boss complained
about that, said it was too high

and it attracted men.

So I then wore a dress,

but I didn't feel at
all comfortable in it,

so I just changed again
to a T-shirt with a knot.

And I got sent to the
personnel manager,

and she said it
looked slutty, tarty,

and my earrings look
stupid, and the dye in my hair,

but she complimented
me on my work.

Can you iron a shirt?

No. Why not?

I never tried it.

Why not?

I just never tried it.

Why would you not try it?

Because my wife does it.

And why should your wife do it?

Erm, I don't know,
let's put it that way.

ON PHONE: Now I don't
know anybody any more.

Yeah, it's difficult, isn't
it, making new friends.

You know, there's
places that you can go.

Have you gone to any of
the local pubs in this area?

Would you actually go
up to girls and talk to them?

Or do you just sort of,
you know, stand around?

I mean, it's up to you to
make the first move, really?

PHONE RINGS

Hello, Grapevine.

Yes.

Can I help you?

It's another wanker.

Um, yes. Can I help you?

Um...

I'm afraid we really can't
talk to you on the telephone

while you're masturbating

because we have a policy here
that we're really colluding with you

in your fantasies,

and it's not doing you any good,
and it's not doing me any good.

And I'd really like to help you,
but I'm afraid I'm going to have

to ask you to come
in and talk to us,

and we'll be more than
happy to see you face-to-face.

But, otherwise, it's no good
talking on the telephone

for either you or me. OK?

Well, I'm very sorry, but, you
know, as I say, it's colluding with you.

OK?

SIREN WAILS

BANGING AND CLATTERING

MEN CHEER

KNOCKING

Hold your line!

But they would like the people

who are behind us
withdraw from the area,

and then the people will
disperse and they will go home.

You've got to try. As long as the
police remains within the area...

It's a risk and you've got
to take it. Just a minute.

A, there is no question of
people arrested being released.

Yes. B, I have a responsibility,
as I've told you before,

to preserve law and
order. Now, there is no...

How can they guarantee what
the rest of them are going to do?

How can they do that? Well, you
see, what they're saying is that,

at the present time, the force,

the majority of the people
are in the background.

They've been drinking and
there's music going there,

and there's overturned
cars in the streets.

There's Molotov cocktails.

And if something is not
done at the present time,

it's going to be a highly
explosive situation.

And the only way to do
to defuse this situation

is by decreasing the
presence of the police

within the area at
the present time.

Because they see the
police as their target,

as the target that
they want to attack.

I understand exactly
what you're saying,

and I appreciate what
you've already done,

but there is no question...
My decision at the moment,

there is no question of
withdrawing police from here.

Yes?

INDISTINCT SPEECH

Initial?

INDISTINCT SPEECH

INDISTINCT SPEECH

Well, actually, uh, we
hate each other anyway.

At least I hate him.

And I hate her. Don't get
on at all together, do we?

No. No.

I don't think she hated
me in the first place.

It wasn't until we got
talking she realised

that I didn't really have

the same feelings about her
as she did about me, and...

..a bit jealous of me, really.

She does all the
carrying and all the talking

and I get all the laughs.

Mm. Not fair really.

I mean, if I got myself a
nice thin little blonde bird,

I'd get away, you know?

It's only because
she's a fat old cow.

See what I mean? She
gets violent with me.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Does anyone imagine that
there is the smallest political gain

in letting this level of
unemployment continue,

or that there is some
obscure economic religion

which demands this
level of unemployment

as part of its grisly ritual?

Has Britain the courage
and resolve to sustain

the discipline for long enough
to break through to success?

Yes, Mr Chairman,
we have, and we shall.

This Government is
determined to stay with the policy

and see it through
to its conclusion.

And that... APPLAUSE

And that is what marks
this administration

as one of the truly radical
ministries of post-war Britain.

She knew that she did not have

the full trust of the cabinet,

but she fought it
through nonetheless,

and she invented a consensus

of the nation, the junior
ministers, the backbenchers,

all of whom she
thought shared her vision

of what England had
been and could be.

All this was inspired by her
childhood reading of Churchill.

And I remember her at
the time, again and again,

repeating, almost
like a mantra...

"Churchill in 1940.

"Churchill in 1940.
Churchill in 1940."

SOLDIER SHOUTS A COMMAND

A sort of bogus romantic cult

has been built up
about fighter pilots.

Fighter piloting was
really backstabbing,

and if you could creep
up on your enemy without

him knowing anything about it
and stab him right in the back,

that was the most
efficacious thing to do.

The fighter pilot is well
insulated from the harsh realities

of his actions. He doesn't...

He doesn't get splashed by
the blood or hear the squeals,

or see the mutilated
remains of his victim.

So that, in point of fact, it's a
nasty and brutal little business.

Well, on this track, I'm
doing a sort of a tribute

to Professor Longhair,

who was a New Orleans R&B
pianist right through the '50s.

He died last month,

and we happened to just be at
his last concert in New Orleans, so...

That's where ska came
from in the first place.

And then ska was... came from a
Fats Domino style of piano playing,

which was sort of...

They emphasise
the off beat, like that.

And then started slowing down
and you've got sort of reggae.

Right, potted history of music.

He's been very
much of a family pet.

Yes. How are your
children reacting to it?

Well, he does belong to my son,

who I'm afraid is very
much against the operation.

I suppose, like we all are,

we can only think of
Bruno as being a boy.

Girl doesn't enter into it.
And he's against the operation,

my son is. But, um, I think,

for the sake of all of
us and Bruno himself,

more important, he'll
have to be operated on.

After the operation, you
can't very well call him Bruno.

No. That is going to
be the question, isn't it?

Um, we have laughed
about this, but, uh,

probably to sort of
hide our sorrow, but...

Well, what can you name him?

Have you any suggestions?

HE SINGS

Here's a brief list of
words which were invented,

or which acquired their
modern meaning, in that period.

They include...

They include
capitalism and socialism.

They barely existed before
the early 19th century.

The generation of men who
grew up under the shadow

and inspiration of the
two great revolutions

was the first to have to
come to terms with them.

And the irony is that Churchill
delivered the breathing space.

He delivered the victories.

But because he'd
done it by invoking this,

a special myth that gave
a kind of impregnability

to the ideas, no-one
could question them,

and we were still
lumbered with this myth,

which is a very romantic vision

of our past and how it had
to be projected into our future.

Still, today, it is a treason
to question these arguments.

I don't want to listen
to the arguments.

The myth is what counts.
