I keep waiting for him to say “ Yes prime minister.”

Wow, Humphrey Appleby did pretty well after his career in the civil service.

Legend has it Mr. Pitt still hasn't reached the exit.

"...Not like you, Mr. Pitt. You don't have ideas..." Pitt's wordless response is an absolute classic.

Nigel Hawthorne was robbed blind of an Oscar for this role.

I like how this scene shows how sharp George III still was at this stage of life. He remembered the names and relatives of people that he had only seen years before and what offices he had given them. Quite a tragedy to lose a strong mind.

Now which Pitt is this? The Elder, the Younger, the Toddler, the Fetus, or the Glint in the Milkman's Eye?

"tHe uNiTeD STaTeS" I like this

One night during the stage run of the original play in London, Julian Wadham, either from a lapse in concentration or sheer devilment, answered "Yes, your Majesty" to the question about whether he was married yet. A moment's hesitation from Sir Nigel, then "Who to, Mr Pitt?", leaving poor Julian desperately trying to make up details about his fictitious wife.

It occasionally confused William Pitt the Younger whenever the King would call him "Mr. Hacker".

Hawthorne was a such tremendous actor!  He is sorely missed.

Little did King George realize that 200 years later the United Kingdom would send it's mightiest warrior, Gordon Ramsay as revenge

Hawthorne was a great actor. He did a great job as King George III

Mr. Pitt looks like Beethoven lol

It looks as if that globe includes the Louisiana Territory as part of the US, which was not the case until the 1803 Louisiana Purchase.... this film is set in 1788...

He needed John Spartan to get those colonies back in line.
