BBC The Great Offices of State: 3. The Secret Treasury
©BBC UK
Three-part series in which award-winning reporter Michael Cockerell uncovers the secret world of Whitehall, showing what the trio of great offices - Home, Foreign and Treasury - are really like.
The Treasury is the oldest and most secretive of the three. Cockerell's film recounts the many battles Chancellors have fought over the years with their top officials and it shows how often the Treasury has been locked in conflict with Number 10.
He blends fresh filming with rare and unseen archive, and features candid interviews with former Chancellor Alastair Darling, many of his predecessors and their normally camera-shy mandarins.
The programme shows how Treasury officials see themselves as the Whitehall elite, brighter and quicker than other civil servants, whereas critics claim they are congenitally cautious and nerdy. Successive prime ministers have sought to combat what they call 'the dead hand of the Treasury', but a senior mandarin claims that over the years the Treasury has discovered a hundred different ways of saying no.

The Comet's Tale ©BBC UK Ancient civilisations thought comets were Gods. They believed them to be bringers of life or harbingers of doom - these strange, magical, mysterious things that moved through the sky, fiery streaks of light that tore across the heavens. Isaac Newton was the first to make sense of comets and to him they were the key to unlocking the secrets of gravity - nothing to do wit...
Interesting viewing considering that this first aired in 2010, the beginning of the 14-year Tory shit-slide to hell.
For real they know everything, knowledge is everything what is that... some knowledge they rob from someone...
WOW 😳😲😳 say you're are boring 😴🥱💯😎 doco channel 😱😲🙄😳
I have a lot of time for Jim Callaghan compared to other Labour figures, but what a load of drivel at 17:20
Thanks :)
All sitting around, working out the best way to Rob the poor and working classes
Even if her father wasn’t king, she would be queen eventually since her uncle never had a kid.
Butchers don't cut up 'cows'.
Cherished? Did her husband really love her or did she live with great hearbreak?
These days a total lockout with the Old Boys soldiering on while lying to the misled people of 🇬🇧🏴📚
If you put immigration in with all of your criminal problems as a department then I think you're going to have a horrible starting place for your viewpoints and the view of the public on immigration. Might as well open up the department of pedophilia and immigrants.
We live and die in the shadows for those we hold close
Great job guys 👏🏿👏🏿
Willie Whitelaw in the 1980s was pointing out that prison is an expensive way of making bad people worse. Howard and Blunkett in particular - both populist idiots - might do well to reflect on that
"The First Lord of the Treasury is the Prime Minister "..."there would be bitter battles between the Treasury and No 10" ..." Treasury was very battered "..." plunged the ailing economy into recession " ...but what was happening on the streets was no laughing matter " ,,," inflation returned in the late 80s.."
Wouldn't it be really sad if Charles only gets a year or two. I hope he gets long enough for William &Kate to rear up their children.
She was an amazing lady Elizabeth the Good!!!
get rid of the royal family it would save us the UK 18 billion a year and also trying to claim cold wether payments from the government to heat the public palace she wont let's into unless we pay we own the palace not the windsors
This is interesting!
Rule Britannia !
Wow im from philippines 🇵🇭
RULE BRITANNIA !
Alas, even the recycling of furniture by HM Treasury pales into insignificance when compared to the recycling of footage by Michael Cockerell.
I have seen the same clip of Denis Healey returning from Heathrow in about 5 of his documentaries

I am now watching this video in October of 2021. In the past 18 month alone since the making of this, our longest reigning monarch the dear Queen Elizabeth II has lost her husband of 70+ years. Her grandson leave the establishment to live abroad with her great grandchildren. Her second son now has ongoing sex scandal allegations bringing disgrace and unrest to the monarchy. Living through one of the biggest 100yr pandemics, Still reigning through political turmoil of Brexit and world economic crises! This woman in my opinion has never failed the monarchy and all it stands for in her entire lifetime since being born into the world spotlight because of her having the title HRH Princess 👸 to Queen. 👑. 🥰🙏. The history of the British Monarchy is 100s and 100s of years legendary but I doubt the great British Monarchy will ever have another head of state remotely like her again!!
At 25:10, Winston Churchill melting...
HM Queen Elizabeth fondly loved & hugely respected by her subjects & the World🇬🇧
lm british l love my queen
No gods , no leaders, no royalty, Alba gu brath.
It was a young Queen Mary, in Africa, when a young overly exuberant young man jumped on the running board of her car, getting himself few whacks from the Queens umbrella. Our Queen Elizabeth the 2nd of the Commonwealth. Long live the Queen👋🏻🇦🇺
And she never has to worry about paying rent buying food children's education nothing , always the best of everything very rich so you work it out ?
THE QUEEN IS AMAZING!! I LOOK FORWARD TO HER PLATINUM JUBILEE!!!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful series on our beautiful Queen and her beloved Family. At 27.40, this really moved me so much............. With the Country's unprecedented outpouring of grief after the death of Princess Diana - it also became one of the very few times when the Queen put her Family before her immediate duty, that says so much of her love for her Family and her Grandchildren. I find it very moving how the Country also wanted to have their Queen by their side, and to share in their grief........... God bless HMTQ, a truly, remarkable woman 💖
I was born and raised in a British Commonwealth Country. The Queen, Prince Philip and Prince Andrew visited our City in 1979 on an official visit. I was in the front row of the crowd of people hoping to see her during their walk about. The Queen and Prince Philip stopped right in front of me and they each spoke to me. To this day, and I am now my 60s, it still remains one of the most special moments of my life. RIP Prince Philip, and love live our wonderful Queen 💗
I saw Her in Her car. She ain't stop...
Funny how people have always assumed that everything happening in the sky has had to do with them. Signs of war, death, doom... Now we know it is just rocks falling mindlessly around according to the laws of nature. (Some of us know that, anyway.)

So lets get this straight Newton was hit in the head by a comet not an apple. Must have had some thick head.
Even auto generated English subtitles cannot understand and translate the dialect of HRH Princess Eugenie of York.
At 10:45 It is incorrect to imply that she would not have become Queen if Edward VIII had not abdicated. Edward & Wallis had no children and if he had not abdicated Elizabeth would have become Queen on his death in 1972 instead of on her father's death in 1952. She & Philip would probably have preferred the 1972 option
Never changes sleaze know not learnt a thing this goverment is just the same Iam so mad never held to account
Oh BS
With all her money why doesn't she spend some on herself. A face lift a month at a spa a new hair style.
She is the most precious of all the crown jewels. Admirations from Bulgaria. I saw her during the ceremony of opening our KPMG office in London 12 years ago and still remember what gracious, poised and amazing person she is. Long may she reign.
Love these videos! 🇺🇸💞🇬🇧
"The church doesn't want the bulgar media in." Wow... That came from a group of "holly" people who teaches understanding, goodness nd forgiveness. 😂
There's a black but full of controversial.. we don't know, the racist part might be true.. or false... Or she might be telling the truth of what has been done to her or... She might be just lying and trying to outsmart the royals.
Brown: And so we will not be returning to the boom and bust economics of the past. And that's how the financial collapse of 2008 happened.
dommage pas de traduction en français sous titre et pourquoi la vidéo étant en anglais sous titre en anglais ?
Pour pouvoir pratiquer l'anglais... That ain't that complicated.
Thatcher was a heartless cow. The whe tory party destroyed the UK, the effects still remain now.......
Dam Tories dont care. Jeffery Howe, awful Chancellor. Austerity for people, but high wages for MP'S. Thatcher, like in you own mean, Austerity, while they lived on high wages. Her think was heartless and stupid. Austerity and Capitalism for the poor amd Socialism for the rich.
