Portrait Of A Great Lady
"Icon of the Century"; "The Nation's favorite grandmother"; "The richest jewel in the Royal Family's crown" - these are just some of the many tributes that have been bestowed upon the Queen Mother. She was the Iongest Iiving British RoyaI in memory who witnessed some of the most significant deveIopments and historicaI moments of the Iast century. When she was born, the British Army was fighting its last great imperial war in South Africa, airpIanes had not yet flown, and gas lamps had not been repIaced by electric Iighting.
Born with the century, Queen EIizabeth, the Queen Mother, Iived a life that symbolizes the live of millions in Britain and in the land of which she was - so recentIy - Queen Empress.
In this originaI program, a feIIow Scot who is aImost as weIl known, actor David Niven, guides us through her remarkabIe and touching story.
lt opens in the gardens of CIarence House, her London home. But enthraIIing historic film footage soon makes us realize that the unpredictabIe saga of Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon refIects the life and times of the whole Western worId.
It is doubtful that any member of the Royal Family ever generated as much affection and IoyaIty as this great and gracious lady. Nor any narrator couId portray her - from Edwardian schoolgirl to stateIy and vigorous widow - more feeIingIy.
Queen Elizabeth
This program traces her extraordinary Iife: archive film and photographs, an interview with Princess Margaret and reminiscences from The Queen Mother herself, recreate her chiIdhood days, her wedding, her unforeseen Coronation and her tours around the worId. FoIlowing the death of the King and the Coronation of a new Queen, she continued to pIay a fuIl part in the new Elizabethan age, pursuing her duties with energy and warmth, taking a new pIace on the Palace baIcony and smiIing her way into the hearts of peopIe everywhere. |
