A Man of This Century

The final episode of the series, summing up Mountbatten's career and his outlook. In this episode (the only one produced without Mountbatten's complete collaboration) Mountbatten's life today (1967) is presented - on his farm in Broadlands, talking with the Duke of Edinburgh; dressing up in full regalia as Colonel of the Life Guards; as Colonel Commandant of the Royal Marines; on "holiday" with his family at his seat in Sligo; and as a keen follower of scientific developments. Mountbatten is filmed at his home making (unscripted) remarks about his own view of his past achievements and his philosophy and approach to life.
