"To Play the King" Chapter Five (TV Episode 1993) - Colin Jeavons as Tim Stamper

Tim Stamper : Do we need opinion pollsters? That's what you are, isn't it?

Sarah Harding : People seem to think I'm worth the money.

Tim Stamper : You get the answers wrong, don't you?

Sarah Harding : I can get you any answers you like, Mr. Stamper. That's why I'm in such demand.
Tim Stamper : Go to Strasbourg, do not pass Go, do not collect £200 and don't bloody well come back.
Tim Stamper : So, how did you find His Majesty?

Francis Urquhart : Oh, much as expected. He wants to be of use.

Tim Stamper : Well he is of use. He can give garden parties and open things, and save us the bother of electing some god awful President or something.
Tim Stamper : After your divorce the family made a financial settlement.

Princess Charlotte : Yes they did, jolly mingy one too.

Tim Stamper : Ah, quite. Wasn't done from affection or compassion, was it? They were purchasing your silence. Your good behaviour. There's a story you could tell, not only the intimate details of your own life but also the lives of others. It would be such a sensational story that you could ask any price for it you care to name. And it would almost certainly bring down the monarchy, yes?

Princess Charlotte : Right, I suppose.

Tim Stamper : Why didn't you go ahead and do it?

Princess Charlotte : Well I couldn't do that to her.

Tim Stamper : The Queen.

Princess Charlotte : And they said that if I did... I'd have a very bad accident.
