I don't mean to hurry you.
to see you at once.
He doesn't have long, sir.
It's all right. I'm on my way.
- Stephen.
- See you later.
Dr. Fleming, Prime Minister.
Ah, Stephen.
- Welcome.
- Good afternoon, sir.
I owe you a debt of gratitude...
from what I'm told.
Thank you.
You saw off
this backbench rebellion...
over the finance bill.
Rebels went in breathing fire.
Then they came out...
purring like lambs.
That's not quite true.
How did you do it?
Same time tomorrow, Raymond.
Very well, sir.
Good night.
I'm sure she's very nice.
They all are.
Very funny. You'll like her.
Are you in for dinner?
Your father's here.
I have to go.
- Good evening, Beth.
- Good evening, sir.
- Seen Sally?
- She's upstairs.
I'm cooking, believe it or not.
I've got the evening off.
- Enjoy it.
- I will.
Bye, Martyn. Speak to you soon.
Any news?
He's got a new girlfriend.
Really?
What does that mean?
Why can't women see through him?
He just wants to get his leg
over them.
What?
By the way, Edward phoned.
I don't believe your father.
He said the prime minister had
summoned you into his office.
So?
So... he just wanted to chat.
meant anything to me.
What did you say?
The usual.
I said my family
was far more important.
Can you come and help me?
God, this is rough.
One or two.
Why are the French
always so good at these things?
One for the road.
You know my situation.
These days, I don't hurry home.
One more...
and then I really must go,
Donald.
Whiskey?
You're Martyn's father.
I'm Anna Barton.
I felt I ought
to introduce myself.
How do you do?
How long have you known him?
Not very long.
I see.
I've...
We've been close
just a few months.
He's just been clobbered
in the spending review.
Hang on a minute.
Apparently,
the treasury's way out of order.
He says
they're simply out of control.
Poor old Tubby,
he's hopping mad.
Of course, he says he's bored
with his department.
he can't stand his minister.
Hello, stranger.
I know. Don't make me feel bad.
It's been hectic at the paper.
Lovely to see you.
You must be Anna.
Anna Barton, my mother.
How are you?
Come on through.
Hello, Sally. Hi.
What are you doing here?
This is
Lunch is all ready.
We're only here for a drink.
We can't stop for lunch.
Say hello to your father.
Hi, Dad. This is Anna.
My father.
Let's have a drink,
and I'll show you around.
Nice to meet you.
Have you been all right?
Yes, mostly.
Tied up a lot
with the children's home.
It's turning into a proper job.
People ask me to do things.
I find it difficult to say no.
Is she all right?
She hasn't said anything.
Are we going to go around
the garden all day?
We have to go.
Thank you for the drink.
Not at all.
It's always nice
to meet Martyn's friends.
It was lovely.
It was nice to see you, Ma.
Bye.
It was funny.
The great joke was
he didn't spot it at auction.
It was staring him in the face.
It was Delft.
Thank you, Tommy.
- I'm off to London.
- See you later.
Miss Snow here.
My name's Anna Barton.
I'm a friend of the minister's.
I was wondering
if I could have a word.
Hold on.
I'll see if the minister's here.
A Miss Barton for you.
Put her through.
It's Anna.
Give me your address.
I'll be there in an hour.
Raymond.
Mind you,
hysteria is perfectly treatable.
I'm not very pleased about it.
We'll get the bill through.
We've got some worried masters.
Excuse me, Dr. Fleming.
This is a rare pleasure.
I was hoping
we might have a word.
Over here.
I've got a new job.
I've been made
That's wonderful.
Already?
I know.
That's extraordinary.
You got it so young.
I know. I'm going to have
Try to be kind.
I'll try to be objective.
Ma insisted I come down
and tell you.
She said you'd be thrilled.
She's right. I am.
Only Anna.
It's great news.
Ma's saying
we all have to go celebrate.
She's right. We must.
Nothing too rich.
That's very safe.
Here they come.
Welcome the hero.
Hello, Grandpa.
Congratulations.
Well done.
You don't know Edward.
My grandfather.
Gracious.
Is this your new friend?
I'm honored.
I've read all about you.
Please. Mine was
a very overrated career.
Let's face it,
we look to Stephen.
I'm afraid it was me that
forced him into politics...
me and Ingrid, at least.
I don't think he'd have
chosen the life himself.
What will you drink?
Champagne.
Champagne, indeed.
Well done.
Well done in every respect.
I was brought up abroad.
My father was a diplomat.
My mother's sort of...
She's very French.
And now,
she's with her fourth husband...
and lives in Palm Springs.
Palm Springs? Good gracious.
So it was quite
an odd childhood.
We moved about, yes.
The Argentine, Africa.
For a long time,
we were in Rome.
Then, I don't know,
I moved to Paris.
I wanted to be free.
I even had a spell
as a waitress.
When you're young...
Then I'd ended a relationship.
I moved to England
You live by yourself?
Do you see your mother?
