Do not read history. Read biography for it is life without theory.

William Russell popping up as the politician and friend and mentor to Benjamin Disraeli, Wyndham Lewis, in ATV's Emmy nominated mini-series Disraeli (1978)

#fave spotting #william russell #ian chesterton #doctor who #classic doctor who #disraeli #disraeli: portrait of a romantic #as it was titled in the US #1978 #classic tv #atv #i must admit i know very little about this particular era in british political history #and as such when William turned up as a mentor figure i thought oh goody he's got a big role #alas.. not to be. Lewis died suddenly‚ shortly after Disraeli succeeded in being elected as an MP #and his wife ended up having a much greater influence over the future prime minister (spoiler: they married) #so yes‚ Bill has a few brief scenes in ep 1 and then keels over offscreen in the first act of ep 2. ho hum #such is the lot of the character actor #still he's good fun whilst he's here and provides some gently subtle advice to Disraeli about curtailing his verbose speeches in the house #lest he baffle his own party as well as the opposition with his intellect #it's a good series and very well written‚ altho does simplify some relationships and events in a... questionable way #mainly it depicts Bulwer Lytton (he of 'it was a dark and stormy night' fame) very sympathetically and his wife as unbalanced and vengeful #whereas the truth is much bleaker (he had his wife‚ the writer Rosina B L‚ institutionalised when her complaints about his treatment of her #became inconvenient...) #likewise Disraeli's passionate stand against the Corn Laws repeal is presented as a david vs goliath moment within the houses of parliament #without ever really interrogating the motives of those opposed to the repeal‚ nor the impact of its failure

Never complain, never explain.

- Benjamin Disraeli

The royal family's unwritten rule of ‘never complain, never explain’ has served it well to weather many crises and storms that circulated around it. The late Queen Elizabeth II was masterful in remaining stoic and dignified as those around her lost their heads. She personified the unwritten rule that safely navigated the British monarchy through tough times.

But the motto has its origins not with a member of the royal family but with a comment made by a British prime minister, Benjamin Disraeli, who served two terms under Queen Victoria.

Disraeli died in 1881 and the earliest attribution of the quote in full was made to him in a 1903 work by John Morley. Disraeli's comment is thought to have been adapted from notes made by a Master of Balliol College, Oxford, Benjamin Jowett, whose "Maxims for a Statesman" date from 1873-76. Jowett's maxims comprised over eleven pieces of advice, including: "never quarrel, never explain, never hate, never fret, never fail" and "never tell".

Current and future members of the Windsor royal family could do worse than follow her late majesty’s wise example.

Disraeli: Mary Anne (1.2, ATV, 1978)

"You know, for years, I couldn't stand the sight of you. Cos of your - your rings and your perfumes and your fancy way of dressing. D'you have to be such a cursed dandy?"

"A dandy is not a mere clothes horse. To be a true dandy is to be self-disciplined, detached, even spiritual. It is also a gesture of individuality and a mask, behind which the sneers of the world cannot reach."

"Well, maybe you needed something to hide behind once but... hang it, that's why some of the others still distrust you. They expect their leading statesmen to look the part. Not like some Italian dancing master, what?"

Bentinck first appears as an oafish bore with no interest in politics despite his status‚ but Disraeli and #eventually we the viewers see that beneath the bluster lies conviction and honour and justness. even more dramatic is the shift in how we #see Peach's Mary Anne‚ the centre of the episode; having detested her as vacuous and irritating on first meeting‚ Dis is gradually made #aware of her keen common sense‚ gentle goodness‚ political instinct and eventually the blossoming of deeper affection #it's a wonderfully realised section that's all the more rewarding for the realism and the talent with which its executed #(i should stress that im talking about the characters as written fiction and not the real people they're based on; fictional Bentinck is a #good‚ noble man but i know very little of the real figure; it's quickly apparent in this series that some very rosy spectacles have been #donned by the writer‚ as Disraeli and cohorts are apparently faultless‚ tireless champions of the masses where the truth is.. more complex)
