(crowd chattering) - Prime Minister, I wanted to tell you I have been asked to stand as Chancellor at Cambridge University.
- (foreign) You'll be a vast improvement on the previous royal incumbent.
The Duke of Gloucester had great difficulty in keeping his mouth closed.
- Well, there is much to be done.
At Bonn we studied botany, geology, all of the natural sciences, but at Cambridge they study little more than the classics.
- Homer and Virgil made me the man I am today.
- Oh, yes.
I believe you studied at Magdalen College.
- You might want to learn the names of the colleges before you start telling them what to study, sir.
- Magdalen, sir.
- Thank you.
- Of course, the Chancellorship is an honorary position, sir.
It has no executive power, and Cambridge is not a place that relishes innovation.
- Even more reason to accept the post.
- You must not worry about your duties here.
I will support Victoria.
- I hope Cambridge is ready for you, sir.
- Thank you.
