To Play the King (TV Mini Series)

Chapter Eight (1993)

Kitty Aldridge: Sarah Harding

Quotes 

• Francis Urquhart : The great beauty of conscription is that we'll be able to use 18 to 23 year olds to subdue their younger brothers in the inner cities and on those ghastly estates. And then we can think about exporting them. Use the British fighting man to redress the balance of trade.

  Sarah Harding : You really mean that, don't you?

  Francis Urquhart : Why not? After all nobody wants these young people. Not even their own parents! They have no skills, they have no education, they have no self discipline, they are utterly useless. Well we are going to make them useful. Like factory farming.
