- Michael Cockerell 's series of how-to guides explaining the intricacies of top government jobs continues with a one-off programme revealing the tricks of a foreign secretary's trade. Present incumbent Robin Cook and six former occupants of the position talk candidly about the challenges of the job while Cockerell demonstrates how the demands and scope of the office have changed over the years. Transmitted on 4 January 1998.
Interviewees: David Owen (Foreign Secretary 1977-79), James Callaghan (1974-76), Lord Carrington (1979-82), Douglas Hurd (1989-95), Geoffrey Howe (1983-89) and Malcolm Rifkind (1995-97) as well as Robin Cook and Lord Renwick (former Foreign Office civil servant).

One of my favourite moments in Michael Cockerell's exquisite documentaries is when one statement is immediately contradicted by another, beautifully belying the double-speak employed by the political class. 4:56 is a fine example.
That's a great trick to be able to keep your eyes open when you fall asleep
I need to try "A kind thought, but sadly erroneous" the next time I'm asked to do something at work.
Can’t wait to have the job!
made different with the UK out of the EU now.
The Tv programme “Yes Minister” was a pretty decent reference to this lot !
Michael Cockerell is a master. Another fabulous one!
I was extremely surprised how silent they went when the interviewer asked them about spying on EU member states.
I mean, it's obviously because they were so insulted that someone would even suggest such a terrible thing, right?
@@insertclevername4123 lol dream on
Was that back when we did not admit or deny MI6s existence (as Yes Minister was in it's day).
100% they'd been spying on us too.
@@gnenian If you mean when this programme was made, the answer is no, as the existence of MI5 and MI6 was made official in 1994 by John Major's government.
Thanks so much for uploading this gem!!!
As in every way of life, the best chance of doing deals is during lunch, or other break times.
I wonder if David Cameron has watched this…..
Thanks for sharing! 😃
There was a slightly sinister, knowing look in Malcolm Rifkind's eyes - enjoyable!
Loved the BAE 146 at the star
"I cannot talk about that" obviously means "yes".
You might very well think that.
Excellent thank you
They recycled most of this for their series 'the great offices of state'
Ah yes well spotted, I hadn't realised that but now you say it I remember the clips in the offices of state trio. I was sure I hadn't seen this before but started watching and was sure I'd seen some clips, and that explains it. Well spotted 👍 I've noticed on many of these types of documentaries they often reuse clips from other documentaries it happens a lot in documentaries about Thatcher or the labour party of the 70s & 80s when those topics are covered.
Yes all the filming they did for that programme that they didn't use got used in this programme
@@beverleylumb8048 and the one they used too! 🤣
Aunt Beeb recycling our licence fees 2!
Most fascinating 🎉
I suppose that we will never see the likes of Lord Palmerston in the role again
RIP Robin Cook
Very intelligent man.
12:49 gotta love the "casually" dressed cameraperson as the focus of attention of that enormous circle of EU suits.

How revealing!
You are the light of the world . Acity on a hill cannot be hidden/
Hurd relates Appeasement policy myth, saying NC leaves and WSC arrives, the same man!
Nonsense each country is out to protect Thier own interests. Any other opinion in niaive
Dear PA can you please uderstand what you have to do for the Foreign Secretary to survive?
Love is like war, easy to begin, but very hard to stop/
What a beautiful documentary. The music at the end was so tasteful . I wish the BBC Continued to make such shows instead of all that left wing political garbage they shell out nowadays.
The BBC is right wing, how can you not see that.
@@chriswatson3464 right wing bbc? you must be a communist.
@@tyqwdybijo no I'm not a communist, they are a right wing channel. They might not be right on immigration but if you look at them overall they are very right wing.
Facts are left wing!
With a few exceptions.
@@tyqwdybijo Thing is you can’t give a single example suggesting the BBC are left wing. I can give you numerous examples, modern and historical about how the BBC are sympathetic towards the government of the day, and many instances in recent years where they have shown bias towards the government in their conduct and programming. For instance for the past 5 or so years there has been a statistical dominance of right wing commentators and guests on BBC programmes; and a large proportion of senior BBC staff have previously worked for or have gone on to work for the Conservative Party. The government also appoint their donors onto the boards and as Director General.
I can go into these things a lot more if you need as I studied BBC history as part of my history degree, but it’s after midnight atm so I’m gonna leave it here for now.
Order order
Every single time I come across this decent, intelligent man ( Robin Cook), I ask myself Did he really die on natural causes or it was ...!
Is he the one that had his leg over his secretary?
@@Steve-lb2gmhe had a mistress for sure, one of the famous sleeze scandals of new labour
"Very drôle!'
Fun stuff
Watching Robin Cook (who is clearly on the ‘shrooms) made me wince so hard I cracked an eyeball….
If you wished to be love, just love!
For what can war but endless war still breed?
my question is who killed robin, a man with insight
who thinks robin who walked up and down mountains regularly died of a heart attack
Why do you think someone killed Robin why couldn't he just die from natural causes
The same people who killed Dr. Kelly
This is about Liege.
I rather think Margaret Thatcher was proved to be right.
More often than not.
Just aswell they don't drive or operate machinery for a living while nodding off. Very tough job. Christ gimme a break.
Be careful about the Working Relationship/
Dear Foreign Secretary,
Can you please speak about the Strategy towards the EU later this evening? Yoo are invited at the BBC to speak about your views.
50 plus 1 Shades of Humanity should be the title of your Memoirs Dear FOREIGN SECRETARY

To a BAME person “one of the main reasons we dont have anyone who isnt white and from Winchester is because the BAME people just don’t apply!” ............ is this first order, basal reasoning what we get for the FCO nowadays? Hopefully this stayed in the 90s.
