The BBC Iplayer only works in the UK, I recorded it but for some reason it didn't work, so I checked and it is being repeated on Friday at 02.45 UK time so I will try and record it again, Edward can do the same if you have a DVD recorder. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00nts8b Graham

Is it a film about Churchill? I didn't catch all you said. He is a favorite historical figure to me. I went to visit his gravesite on a drive while visiting a friend in London.

Definitely worth watching if you can get the chance. If not I may record it to DVD in case anyone is desperate. :-)
It was probably the most faithful account of him that I have seen, and his wife Clemmy was well portrayed also. It revealed some of the 'other' side of him which lost him the 1945 election, which was a surprise to the Americans. He had no time for the 'working classes' although he was happy enough to send them into battle. -- Gordon H Remove "invalid" to reply
