- Oh.
Good afternoon, sir.
- I'm really very sorry if I've kept you waiting.
- Oh, not at all.
I can imagine you're rather busy.
And I must apologize.
It's all a bit ad hoc, ah, but we had to seize the opportunity.
- Well, I wish I could have given you more time, but London beckons.
Now I'm told they call you the Queen of the Midlands.
- I think that might be treason.
(Prime Minister chuckling) But it is worth pointing out, this is a moment in history.
It's the very first time a woman has interviewed the Prime Minister.
- I wager there were men who tried to stop that happening.
- Oh yes, Tory Central Office weren't too pleased.
- [Prime Minister] But you defeated them.
- I did.
- Well done.
- Good evening, I'm Noele Gordon, and it's my honor to be here in St Andrews stadium with the Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan.
