Okay.

Go on.

Yeah, you're good.

That's good.

Okay.

Hi, I'm Peter Morgan.

I'm going to be guessing who said what and when on The Crown.

I think?

Yes.

Right.

We're all dying.

That's what defines the conditions of living.

Are you sure this is from The Crown?

Okay.

I have no idea.

I don't remember writing that.

I mean, it sounds, it feels familiar as yes, linguistically.

I just, this is AI.

Is this AI?

This is a, it's chat GPT.

We're all dying.

That's what defines the condition of living.

Who's Winston Churchill?

No, I'm kidding.

He was so inappropriate for the role that the fact that he became so stunning in the role involved elasticity and talent.

And so you were just boggling at what he was up to.

And then he had great power and presence.

I mean, physically, he was so wrong for it and he ended up being so right for it.

So that's about the inhabiting of a part.

I don't think of myself as royalty.

First and foremost, I'm a wife and a mother.

That's what's most important to me.

Diana?

I'm imagining season six.

No?

Four?

Really?

I don't think of myself as royalty.

First and foremost, I'm a wife and a mother.

I sort of felt to myself, I'm prepared to write this show without Diana if we can't find someone who I believe is Diana.

You could get a lot of people to act that class and that age, but Diana is so totemic, so unique.

And I felt that, obviously, that those two actors could do it.

And so it was a pleasure and a privilege to write the part.

But I think I would have been paralysed writing for someone that I didn't believe could do it.

And so I would have tried to reconfigure the whole show almost without a Diana, which seems now impossible.

But that's only because I did feel it was possible because of who we got.

That was impressively cunty.

I think I gave that line to Prince Andrew, didn't I?

BUZZER Oh.

Prince Edward?

OK.

One of the brothers.

That was impressively cunty.

Yeah, that was done with a sort of eyebrow going up.

It's amazing that you could use that word and it loses some of its offensiveness when wrapped up in an eyebrow-raised delivery.

It looks like a line out of the Succession, but it's actually a line out of The Crown.

I wonder how many lines from The Crown could be in Succession.

There's this fancy new business theory.

It's called make more than you spend and you're king cunt.

Dad, come on.

I declare before you that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.

I didn't write that.

The Queen wrote that.

Or somebody wrote it for the Queen.

Well, she would have said that...

I think we had that in episode eight of season three.

BUZZER Four.

Three, four.

Eh.

Eh.

That my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service.

And it's really beautiful.

I declare before you, I declare before you, you know, not to you, that my whole life, whether it be long or short, that parenthesis is nice, shall be devoted to your service.

Again, that's so...

There's so much humility in that.

There's no declaration of it.

It's almost like a question.

And the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.

It's a beautiful, inclusive piece of writing.

I could never do it justice.

They're not the job.

She is the job.

She is the essence of your duty.

Well, episode one.

George VI to Prince Philip.

She is the job.

She is the essence of your duty.

That was actually done right at the very end of the first episode.

Jared delivered the line beautifully.

It was with real intensity.

And there was pain, the pain of imminent death in the delivery.

She is the oxygen we all breathe, the essence of all our duty.

That's like the last one.

Oh, shoot, I didn't mean that.

OK, sorry, sorry, I'll do it again.

OK, I can't remember.

But I think it's Margaret.

No.

Of course it wasn't.

Damn right, yes.

When he gives her the bollocking.

Yeah.

He repeats the line.

Of course he does.

She is the oxygen we all breathe, the essence of all our duty.

What kind of marriage is this?

What kind of family?

You've taken my career from me, you've taken my home, you've taken my name.

Well, that would be early.

It was definitely when Prince Philip is starting to have doubts or he's struggling.

Season two?

Season one?

What kind of marriage is this?

What kind of family?

Well, first of all, he had fantastic chemistry with Claire Foy.

They were brilliant together.

So as a couple, they were sort of pretty electric, I thought.

And Matt, he comes with a restlessness, which was really fitting.

And also, it's very straight-backed, Matt.

Of course he's had no military career, but he'd do well, I think.

You have no enemies, you say, alas, my friend, the boast is poor.

He who has mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure must have made foes.

Well, that's Thatcher.

Season four?

Episode two, The Balmoral Test.

Yes, it was that one.

Yes, I enjoyed writing that episode.

You have no enemies, you say, alas, my friend, the boast is poor.

I haven't had a conversation with either the Queen or with Margaret Thatcher about it, but you read up about it, you talk to people, and you do your best.

And then you also have to make, you know, you have to make a whole load of suppositions.

I hope we got it right.

Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.

Diana.

Next.

Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.

This is terrible.

I've got, like, zero.

Nul point.

And it all sounds the same.
