Thank goodness for the BBC Archives. Unearthed in conjunction with the release of The King’s Speech comes the actual climax of the film (spoiler?): King George IV’ s country-rallying speech on the eve of World War II in 1939. How does the famously public-speaking-averse king sound on these dusty recordings? Like some combination of Tweety Bird and Bill Nighy at the beginning of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , naturally!
