The cinematography during his speech about truth and deceit was exquisite, especially when he hit the "two-faced" part. And I like to think that not only was he thanking the audience for listening to him, but also to the officials for letting him finish and leave with his dignity.
My thoughts exactly.
Yeah it's pretty hackneyed and obvious
@@claremontcowboy7409 Probably because that was the point of it.
Well you know the English had to do everything proper
@@nanlars2323properly
Can ANYONE imagine actually having to be that man that told the real Queen Elizabeth that horrible news??🤯😵💫😵
Head of MI5! Aka the man who doesn't exist
Angus Wright gives a superlative performance here as Martin Furnival Jones, head of MI5 ... he has seen plans within plans, layers of reality deeper and darker than the surface illusions most of us live our lives in; gently but firmly disabusing the Queen of her superficial suspicions for an actuality more terrible than she could imagine. Qudos to Coleman too, for the look of horror and disgust on her face as she listens to his revelation ...
During the interrogation of Blunt by Peter Wright - MI5, (Wright had regular interviews with Blunt from 1964 to 1970) Peter was advised that he would learn of a trip to Germany by Blunt. Blunt apparently recovered documents pertaining to the Royal Family. Peter was advised not to pursue this matter. I always assumed this related to Edward VIII. Blunt made copies of what was later revealed as "Royal Correspondence" and passed it directly to the KGB. I've followed this and the Sir Roger Hollis allegations (Sir Roger is well in the clear) since 1987, and little bits and pieces continue to fall out of archives.
Fun fact 1: Olivia Colman and Samuel West, who portrays Blunt in this episode, played Queen Elizabeth's parents in "Hyde Park on Hudson" in 2012.
Fun fact 2: This is Samuel West's second time portraying Anthony Blunt. He previously played Blunt in the 2003 miniseries "Cambridge Spies"
Also, in Cambridge Spies, Imelda Staunton played Queen Elizabeth.
What’s the chance of him playing Anthony Blunt twice!? Unless that’s why they chose him for this role in the Crown aha
@@Luke_05 It’s not as strange as one might think. Prasanna Puwanarajah played Martin Bashir in both the 2013 film "Diana" and in the 5th season of "The Crown".
Fun Fact 3: Sam West's mother Prunella Scales was the first actress to ever portray the Queen in TV or film in the drama A Question of Attribution [1991] which dealt with this very storyline.
He was outed to the public by Margaret Thatcher round about 1979
How the hell does an art surveyor get their hands on military documents?!
He worked in military intelligence during the war.
He was at the Palace for a long time. He got to know his way around - and trusted.
@@lisadambrosio2255no, his spying was long before. He was actually uncovered as a spy before he got the job at the Palace. They didn't bother telling Madge
He drew them up… badum tiss
Art is pretty much everywhere in the palace, as it's surveyor, you just get a lot of opportunities to be near those documents and snoop around just right when no one is looking
Keep it coming with The Crown videos....
Yes
Funny thing is they guy playing Blunt played the same role 20 years previously.
If I'm not mistaken, the room in which Blunt is giving his lecture is the very same room used in the film, Red White and Royal Blue, as the 'balcony' room in Buckingham Palace during the last part of the film!
It's the organ pipes that I recognise!!!
God, I'm such an anorak!!!
I'd love to know where in London this room is???
Most scenes of Buckingham Palace in almost any series or movie is normally filmed in Lancaster House. It’s a government building that was built by the same man who built Buckingham Palace itself.
The external location the 'men from the Ministry' arrive at is 10 Carlton Terrace Gardens at the top of the Duke of York steps. Not sure where the room with the organ is, though.
So Angus and Sophie do know each other.
Pssst. Ur art dealer is a spy.
What...? Oh. 😂
I doubt he spent all that time in the royal household without recruiting or introducing others into the palace. We seem to have just assumed he only passed secrets for some reason.
Netflix's Crown wasn't the first to tackle this. 1991's A Question of Atribution with Prunella Scales as Queen put it to screen first. In fact Prunella became the first actress to ever portray a reigning monarch. It's rather good if anyone can find it.
And she's the mother of Samuel West.
I saw it years ago and thought it excellent. I'd love to see it again. Prunella Scales was very good as Queen Elizabeth. She caught so many of her attributes, so much better than in The Crown. I'd love to see it again.
It is by far the better telling of the story. I have it on DVD, there’s a collection of Alan Bennett’s programmes at the BBC.
@@wulfrunian That is good news. Thank you.
Gosh Samuel sounds just like his father Timothy West
And he got away with it. If he was some pleb he would have died in jail.
They tended to prefer to avoid further scandal. Besides sometimes they may be able to use them to feed information that they want sent for various reasons.
In centuries past, wouldn’t he have been executed?
Yes, for sure. To be honest, the Brits will do it again if pushed. A traitor is a traitor, after all.
Centuries past didn't really do spying the way we consider it. And realistically, you don't execute spies. You imprison them, pump them for information, and then keep them on ice, you might need to swap them for one of YOUR spies that was caught in the future. And making a fuss about 'spies' is a good way to get tourists kidnapped and accused of spying themselves.
Even at this time portrayed here America and Russia where executing spies
You have read too much James Bond fiction, I fear.
@@davidweihe6052 just isn’t true at all, the Americans executed people for this after the time period depicted here
Is the actor playing Blunt on All Creatures Great and Small?
Yes. His name is Samuel West and he is the son of Prunella Scales (Fawlty Towers) and actor Timothy West.
Yes! Siegfried Farnon
@@louiselage7740 Thank you.
@@zee9134 Thank you.
He has a wonderful speaking voice, so measured & clear.
😱😱😱
I read Peter Wright's book Spycatcher when it came out. Wright talked about the Cambridge spy ring.
Wright's book was also devoted to proving Sir Roger Hollis (Head of MI5) was also a Russian spy.
Not 'the Buckingham Palace'........ just Buckingham Palace 🙄
Go listen to Alan Bennett
Hate your music at the end. The clips are wonderful but injured by the ending.
A communist in a country full of communists. Shocking.
It's almost as if people come out of school that way.
