0:01:19 > 0:01:21The Diary Of A Winston Kid.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25I'm here to tell you a story about one of the greatest heroes
0:01:25 > 0:01:27this country has ever known.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Possibly one of the greatest heroes of all time.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31- Me! - CHUCKLES
0:01:31 > 0:01:34It's the publishing sensation sweeping the nation.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38"Daring adventures of young champion Churchill."
0:01:38 > 0:01:40You see? You see it?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Yes, read about his boyhood days during the reign of Queen Victoria.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46From humble beginnings in the family palace to adventure in Cuba.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49The sunshine, the cigars!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Dreadful habit. Very bad for you.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52The sleeping!
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Winston!
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Um...
0:01:55 > 0:01:57tummy time?
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Is it?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Read about his time in India.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Mixing with the locals, the army and, of course...
0:02:02 > 0:02:03victory!
0:02:03 > 0:02:04What do you say, Winston?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- Oi, Churchill! - Pineapple chunks!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12The sensational story of his time in South Africa during the Boer War -
0:02:12 > 0:02:15imprisonment, escape, being shot at,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17and ruining a perfectly good hat!
0:02:17 > 0:02:18You won't be able to put it down!
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Ahem!

0:02:21 > 0:02:22Irish stew!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25The Diary Of A Winston Kid!
0:02:25 > 0:02:31Now, If there's one thing you must remember from this tale, it's...
0:02:31 > 0:02:32SNORES
0:02:32 > 0:02:34DIRECTOR: Oh, cut!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39SINGING
0:02:55 > 0:03:00When Winston Churchill bought the country house Chartwell for £5,000 -
0:03:00 > 0:03:03a lot of dosh in 1922 -
0:03:03 > 0:03:06he knew he was taking on a big project.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09But I wonder if he realised just how big.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Unbelievably, Winston has decided to project manage the whole thing himself.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19And hopes to be finished in just four months,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22despite having never done anything like this before.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Oh, make yourself useful, will you?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28He'll need all the support he can get, but is his wife on board?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33You on? We're on?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37I tell you now with great certainty that, if I told Clementine,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40she'd only do one of her faces, so I didn't.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43She'll love it when it's finished, though.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- CLEMENTINE: Winston... - Hide!
0:03:45 > 0:03:46..what's going on?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49BLUEPRINTS RUSTLE
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Behold...the house of our dreams.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54And how much is all this going to cost?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Ask not how much this will cost, Clem,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00for in these difficult times, the true value of our efforts...
0:04:00 > 0:04:01£5,000.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Whose side are you on, man?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I love you so much right now.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07SIGHS
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Winston has been learning to bricklay in order to help with the build.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16He even joined the bricklayers' union.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20It's not the easy way to do things, but Winston insists it's working for him.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Whoa... Whoa!
0:04:22 > 0:04:23CRASH
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Did you touch it?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30It's been several months since I was last here,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32and Winston has hired the architect Philip Tilden
0:04:32 > 0:04:35to help him construct the extension.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37With an architect on board, things should move faster.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Argh!
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Now you're gonna get it!
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Unless, of course, they end up fighting.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Argh!
0:04:45 > 0:04:49So, Winston, the house is built and the family can move in.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51You must be delighted.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Yes, I told you it would be magnificent.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55But you did go over budget.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56You are this close...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58How much extra did it cost?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Will we allow ourselves to be distracted from our vision
0:05:01 > 0:05:03by petty financial concerns?
0:05:03 > 0:05:04How much?!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06£18,000.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Ooh!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09You, sir, are a massive twerp!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Winston! You come here!
0:05:11 > 0:05:12No! Oh!
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Let me go, woman!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17You know, when this project started, I have to admit, I had real concerns
0:05:17 > 0:05:20that it would be over budget, over schedule
0:05:20 > 0:05:22and would upset Winston's wife.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Oh! - Get out of here! Ooh!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Turns out I was right about all of that.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Right! I've had just about enough of you.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31It's time to unleash...
0:05:31 > 0:05:33the gorilla!
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Ooh-ooh, aah-aah-aah! Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Winston got into plenty of scrapes when he was younger,
0:05:41 > 0:05:42but nothing compared to this bloke.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46The legendary soldier Adrian Carton de Wiart!
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Hold that pose!
0:05:50 > 0:05:54You know, Mr de Wiart, it is a huge honour for me
0:05:54 > 0:05:57to paint a veteran of the recent Boer War in South Africa.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Er, excuse me but are you bleeding?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Yes. Took a bullet in the old picnic basket.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Oh!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08God, there goes a stitch. Took one that side too.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Argh!
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Can we do this another day?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Yes, OK.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15So I understand you've been at war again?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Somaliland this time.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Climbed up a fort and got shot in the face.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Guess what happened next?
0:06:21 > 0:06:22You got shot again?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Correct! In the arm this time.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Er, more importantly, make sure you get my broken polo stick.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Used to carry that on the battlefield
0:06:29 > 0:06:32in case I had to beat my own men for cowardice.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Oh.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36In fact, I should probably pose with it, something dynamic like, er...
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- leg up, swing... - CRUNCH
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Ooh! Any chance we could do this another day?
0:06:42 > 0:06:43OK.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Battle of the Somme. Shot through the skull and ankle.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Passchendaele, hip blasted off.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Cambrai, lost a leg. Ha! - METALLIC CLANG
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Still, managed to get the old Victoria Cross out of it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- CLATTERING - Blast!
0:06:57 > 0:06:58One second.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- CRUNCH - Argh! Urgh...
0:07:00 > 0:07:01THUD
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Any chance we could do this another day?
0:07:05 > 0:07:06KNOCK ON DOOR
0:07:06 > 0:07:07DOOR OPENS
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Mr Carton de Wiart!
0:07:09 > 0:07:13You can't have been fighting in the Second World War as well.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Well, they made a big song and dance about me being too old to command,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20so I popped off to Yugoslavia as a diplomat.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23My plane crashed and I had to swim a mile with one arm.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Eventually got picked up by the enemy and thrown in a prisoner of war camp.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Ended up tunnelling out using a spoon.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Shall I pose here? - Eh...
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Ooh! - CRUNCH
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Any chance...?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39HEAVY THUD
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Yes, we can do it another day.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44It's true!
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Adrian Carton de Wiart really did survive all those wars,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50even if some bits fell off on the way.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Brave Churchill also survived the Boer War and World War I.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58But in 1939, the Second World War began.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03The British people needed a hero to lead them against the might of Nazi Germany.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05A new Prime Minister.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07The one and only Winston Churchill!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10But there was no TV for Winston to get his message across.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Instead, Winston used the radio...
0:08:13 > 0:08:17AS CHURCHILL: ..and the power of his voice.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18FANFARE
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Tom. Tom!

0:08:28 > 0:08:30'Let's see if he can convince the three judges.'
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Ahem. - MICROPHONE FEEDS BACK

0:08:39 > 0:08:41To ride out the storm of war
0:08:41 > 0:08:45and outlive the menace of tyranny.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48If necessary, for years.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50If necessary, alone.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- He sounds good, you should turn around.- No, no, you turn!
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Sounds like a bulldog with a sore throat. I like it!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58PING She's off!
0:08:58 > 0:09:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:09:00 > 0:09:02We shall not flag or fail.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06- We shall fight in France. - France is tight.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09We shall fight on the seas and oceans.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11The sea is the bomb! Man, oceans are fresh!
0:09:11 > 0:09:12PING
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Come on, Tom!
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Come on, he's fresh!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21He's World War II m-m-m-mega fresh!
0:09:21 > 0:09:25He's much better than that shouty German with the moustache who was on last week.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Adolf What's-His-Face.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27He's one to watch out for.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds...
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I don't live near any beaches or landing grounds.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38It's all fields and streets and hills from around my way.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42We shall fight in the fields and in the streets.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44We shall fight in the hills.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46That's more like it, boyo! Yeah!
0:09:46 > 0:09:47PING
0:09:47 > 0:09:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:09:48 > 0:09:49We shall never surrender!
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Come on, let's fight them Germans!
0:09:51 > 0:09:54'And he's got all three to turn!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56'Incredible performance from Mr Churchill.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58'This man really has got The Voice.'
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Never in the field of human conflict has one man flipped the script
0:10:02 > 0:10:04and made it quite his own like I did just then.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Word to ya mummy.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Although Winston proved to be a great leader,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12life was tough for ordinary people during the war.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Food rationing was introduced,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16meaning everyday ingredients often weren't available.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19So people had to make do with whatever they could find,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21which often wasn't very much.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- I'm Paul. - I'm Mary...
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I'm Paul Jollygood Keep-On-Smiling Stiff-Upper-Lip We'll-Meet-Again.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Let's see how our bakers have been getting on in the party...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- In the party food round. - ..in the party food round.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40You, little common man, what have you made?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Some lovely chocolate truffles and no mistake.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Oy-yup!
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Mmm, my favourite.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Where on earth did you find the ingredients with a war on?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50I did have to adapt the recipe.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53See, I didn't have no chocolate, nor cream, nor butter.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56No, I didn't, ma'am. Whoooa, love a duck, see!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- So how... - So what have you...
0:10:58 > 0:10:59So what have you used?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I used carrots instead.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Carrots. - So you've used...
0:11:04 > 0:11:08carrots and carrots...with carrots?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Oh, yes, there's no shortage of carrots. No, there isn't.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Voila!
0:11:11 > 0:11:14And chocolate truffles!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Mmm, carroty.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19You can make almost anything out of carrots.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I'm talking a lovely carrot tart.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Ooh!- Some carrot fudge - get in!
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Carrot jam - nailed it! Carrot soup - tick!
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Carrot lollies. Are you serious? Here we go, for the kids at home.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33GAGS
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Right, I think we've had quite enough of carrots.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Let's take a look at your Showstopper Challenge.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Cor, blimey, that's what I like to call...
0:11:41 > 0:11:44the pineapple surprise!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Is the surprise that it's carrots?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Oh, you ruined it!
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Huh, there's no flies on you, love, is there?

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Then I'm just in time!
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Major General William Donovan,

0:12:30 > 0:12:31Look, can this wait?
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Cos I know I can't.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34That's why I'm here. I'm gonna give you a chance
0:12:34 > 0:12:36to show Adolf Hitler exactly what you think.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38You don't even need to stand up.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- It's got Hitler's face on it. - LAUGHS
0:12:42 > 0:12:46And we just dropped 300,000 sheets of that all over occupied France and I-tal-ee!

0:12:54 > 0:12:56We're gonna wipe the floor with these guys.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59And not just the floor, if you hear what I'm saying.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- Yeah, I hear what you're saying. - Do you hear what I'm saying?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I understand what you mean. And you know what?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I don't need to go now. So thanks - you've ruined it!
0:13:06 > 0:13:10You've ruined the one thing in the day that I love to do.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Thanks a lot.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Ridiculous!
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Hey, come on, wipe the smile off his face!
0:13:16 > 0:13:17One last push...
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Argh! Ooh!
0:13:20 > 0:13:24So then, we are at war with Germany and her allies
0:13:24 > 0:13:29and to win wars, you need good ideas and new weapons.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Which I tried to help invent
0:13:31 > 0:13:34in a laboratory known as Churchill's Toyshop.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35CHUCKLES
0:13:35 > 0:13:39But which of these three isn't a real World War II invention?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Is it...?
0:13:50 > 0:13:51The answer, of course,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53is A.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Tanks don't burrow. You're thinking of moles.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58The floating tank is splendid,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01as you can drive out of the sea, straight up the enemy beach!
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Admittedly, the jumping tank doesn't work quite so well.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Well, not unless you like tanks that accidentally land upside down.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Oi! Wrong way, mate!
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Yeah, Winston was a bit of an eccentric,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15but he wasn't the only world leader who behaved in odd ways.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17It's time for History's Craziest Fools.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Ah, this is nasty! There's a worm in me sock!
0:14:26 > 0:14:29This period in history had so many crazy fools.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31But what happens if one of the craziest
0:14:31 > 0:14:34was also the British Prime Minister of Britain?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Stupid stuff happens, that's what!
0:14:36 > 0:14:38WHISTLE BLOWS
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Oi, who goes there?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- ZIPS UP - Sorry, officer!
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Just going for a pee.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48It's D-Day. D for "don't show me," crazy chubby fool!
0:14:48 > 0:14:51But Churchill ain't the only fool in charge of a country.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Here's the leader of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58This dude was mad, bad
0:14:58 > 0:15:00and had the world's greatest cookie duster.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03You may lead one of the world's military superpowers,
0:15:03 > 0:15:07but you still needs a comfort break on a long journey, mate.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10But, wait, there could be landmines in the bushes.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11What's he gonna do?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Go in the middle of the road?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15You're a crazy Russian fool!
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Ahh...
0:15:16 > 0:15:20But sometimes even the most inspirational people in history
0:15:20 > 0:15:23are capable of seriously crazy behaviour.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26No wonder the world is so messed up, and you know what?
0:15:26 > 0:15:27That is deep for me.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32This is the leader of Indian nationalism, who led Indian independence in 1947,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Mahatma Gandhi.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Now, he was wise, like Yoda.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38But, like everybody else, he got old.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Like Yoda. Nothing crazy about that, is there?!
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Oh, where are my walking sticks?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Ah...here they are! Oh...
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Ah, yes. Ah!
0:15:50 > 0:15:51That is not cool, bruv.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54But what do you expect? I'm old.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55At least I don't go in the road.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56- What? - Nothing!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Namaste. Namaste.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Left. Left a bit.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Good. Forward. Right a bit.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Oh, no, too much.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I don't know about you, yeah, but I've had enough foolishness for today.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08But if history has taught us anything, yeah,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10it's got plenty more where they came from.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Stay away from stupid! I'll see you next time.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14All riiigght!
0:16:17 > 0:16:20POSH VOICE: My latte's gone cold. Can you fix me another one, please?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Can you get me another latte?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Yes, Winston definitely had some unusual habits,
0:16:25 > 0:16:30which meant working for him during the war could sometimes be a bit of a challenge.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32KNOCK ON DOOR Enter!
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Welcome to 10 Downing Street. I'm sure you'll fit right in.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Well, it was here or stay at the radioactive munitions plant, so...
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Things are a bit different under Mr Churchill.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47He rises at 8am and will want to see a report from the Map Room.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Here they are.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Oh. - And troop deployment summaries.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- STRAINS - Oh!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54And communications briefings.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Now, the good news is it's not too far to his office.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- Great!- The bad news is these are going to his bedroom.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01LAUGHS
0:17:02 > 0:17:05He likes to read them while lying down.
0:17:05 > 0:17:068am, bedroom.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09A-and then he comes downstairs after reading the reports?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11No, he stays upstairs till early afternoon,
0:17:11 > 0:17:12when he'll head down to the War Cabinet.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14So what's he doing all that time?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Bath. In here.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19He comes up with a lot of his speeches and ideas in the bath.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Pinkie.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23You'll know he's finished when he starts blowing bubbles.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- BUBBLING - Oh, so he's finished, then?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Yes, or he's just had baked beans for breakfast.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29LAUGHS
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Right. Then, um, after the War Cabinet?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- Back to bed. - CHURCHILL: Tummy time?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- Er, excuse me. - Oh.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37So, after the War Cabinet, he's put to bed.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Meetings if he's awake. - Sorry, what happened to the...?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42John had to go and look after Mr Churchill's tummy time.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Can't run a war on an empty stomach.
0:17:44 > 0:17:468pm is dinner then, at 10pm, he starts work.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48He starts work?!
0:17:48 > 0:17:49He starts work.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Although, by the time you're called on to take dictation, it'll be midnight.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Here's a pad and we're off!
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Midnight?! Oh!
0:18:00 > 0:18:02You again. What happened to...?
0:18:02 > 0:18:03James? Tea break.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Right, he said something about midnight.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Ah, yes, we call them the midnight follies.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12You could be working until about 3am.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13And then he goes to bed?
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Sometimes. Sometimes he gets an extra burst of energy.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19So how will I know when the working day is finished?
0:18:19 > 0:18:20He'll call for soup.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Soup?!
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Soup...soup!
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Oh...
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Perfect soup!
0:18:26 > 0:18:29And then I start work again at 8am.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Precisely!
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Right, I might give the radioactive munitions plant a call.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Oh. Oh...
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Whoa!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40CRASH Argh!
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Ooh, hang on, don't clear that up - I'll eat that later!
0:18:44 > 0:18:46After six years of bitter fighting,
0:18:46 > 0:18:52World War II ended in 1945 with victory for Britain and her allies.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Thanks, Churchill.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Then Winston was defeated in the general election and replaced as Prime Minister.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01No, thanks, Churchill.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05But even if the British public didn't fancy Churchill as a peacetime leader,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09they would forever be grateful for his wartime heroism.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Thanks, old boy!
0:19:10 > 0:19:14SLOW MELODY PLAYS
0:19:16 > 0:19:17# In '44
0:19:19 > 0:19:21# We turned the war
0:19:21 > 0:19:27# D-Day made sure the foe retreated
0:19:27 > 0:19:30# In '45
0:19:30 > 0:19:32# Our troops survived
0:19:33 > 0:19:39# But in the vote I am defeated
0:19:39 > 0:19:42# The masses spoke, though victory's mine
0:19:42 > 0:19:45# Chose some old bloke, ungrateful swine
0:19:45 > 0:19:47# There goes my power
0:19:48 > 0:19:49# What should have been
0:19:51 > 0:19:55# My finest hou-ou-ou-ou-our
0:19:56 > 0:19:58# Back in '36
0:19:59 > 0:20:01# I tried to fix
0:20:02 > 0:20:08# The mad idea Hitler was charming
0:20:08 > 0:20:09# Then in '38
0:20:10 > 0:20:12# Though I gained weight
0:20:13 > 0:20:19# So did my case for re-arming
0:20:19 > 0:20:22# In my modest way told all I was right
0:20:22 > 0:20:25# But lacked support, had to sit tight
0:20:25 > 0:20:27# Till '39
0:20:28 > 0:20:30# Justice was mine
0:20:30 > 0:20:36# Their finest hou-ou-ou-ou-our
0:20:36 > 0:20:39# Though often feared
0:20:39 > 0:20:42# That we might lose

0:20:57 > 0:20:58# We'll go on to the end
0:21:00 > 0:21:02# Was never so much

0:21:05 > 0:21:11# Their finest hou-ou-ou-ou-our
0:21:11 > 0:21:13# I brought us through
0:21:14 > 0:21:16# Expected you
0:21:16 > 0:21:19# Would thank me too
0:21:19 > 0:21:23# And show affection
0:21:23 > 0:21:26# But victory
0:21:26 > 0:21:27# And love for me
0:21:29 > 0:21:34# Did not extend to the election
0:21:34 > 0:21:37# Defeating Hitler, we had to fight
0:21:37 > 0:21:40# Defeating me, ballot box sufficed
0:21:40 > 0:21:42# That's what we killed for
0:21:44 > 0:21:46# What blood was spilled for
0:21:46 > 0:21:51# Your finest hou-ou-ou-ou-our
0:21:51 > 0:21:53# I won the war

0:22:03 > 0:22:06# The only cross
0:22:06 > 0:22:09# Was one you wrote
0:22:09 > 0:22:12# Your brothers died
0:22:12 > 0:22:15# So you could vote
0:22:15 > 0:22:17# Didn't just beat me
0:22:17 > 0:22:20# You beat tyranny
0:22:20 > 0:22:27# Your finest hou-ou-ou-ou-our! #
0:22:31 > 0:22:34You know me as Winston Churchill
0:22:34 > 0:22:37and my wife is the lovely Clementine Churchill,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39but those are our official names.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42At home, what do we call each other?
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Is it...?
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Hmm.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Well, the answer is B.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01She's my Cat and I'm her Pug, or sometimes Mr Pig.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Yeah, it's fun to have nicknames for the person you love,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08just as it's fun to sit with them and chat about things.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Even if those things are a bit confusing for an old chap like me.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17In the year when Match Of The Day started and The Beatles were top of the charts,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Winston and Clementine enjoyed lots of great telly.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26NEWSREEL: It's Bank Holiday Monday 1964, but no fun in the sun for holiday-makers,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29as mods and rockers clash on the beaches of Brighton.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30What on earth are they?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Those are Mods, Pug. They're all the rage.
0:23:33 > 0:23:39They wear suits and ride motor scooters and listen to soul and blues music.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Why are they at war? Have the mods invaded Hastings?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Should I address the nation?
0:23:45 > 0:23:49They're just young people looking for fun, Pug.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52To think, we fought two world wars
0:23:52 > 0:23:54so this lot could fight on the beaches.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57You asked people to fight on the beaches.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Not for fun, I didn't!
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Certainly not because some chap wears the wrong-shaped shoes.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05SIGHS
0:24:05 > 0:24:06What else is on?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Oh, why don't we have a look at that new channel?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11BBC Two.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Two?!
0:24:13 > 0:24:15There's two BBCs?!
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Ugh, whatever next?
0:24:18 > 0:24:22BBC Three, BBC Four,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Children's BBC... - PING
0:24:24 > 0:24:29Shhh! Look, it's The Beatles. Even you must have heard of them.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Look like a bunch of wastrels and baboons if you ask me.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Ha!
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Bingo!
0:24:36 > 0:24:37CHUCKLES
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Choccy biccy for Winnie's tummy time.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Er...
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Oh, covered in fluff.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47I like the fluff.
0:24:48 > 0:24:54So, Winston Churchill died in 1965, at the grand old age of 90.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58He'd lived from Victorian times right up to the Swinging '60s,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00fought in India, World War I
0:25:00 > 0:25:04and led the country to victory in World War II.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Take a bow, Mr Churchill!

0:25:16 > 0:25:19# They're dead and famous too! #
0:25:19 > 0:25:23No, I don't know how anyone can accuse you of being spineless, Nigel.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27I mean, I can literally see your spine! It's right there!
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Ha-ha-ha! Are we on?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Right, who's next?
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Ooh, goodie!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Please put your hands together
0:25:33 > 0:25:38for former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Winston Churchill!
0:25:41 > 0:25:44So, Winston, how does it feel to be dead?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47I've faced death a great many times.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It holds no mysteries for me.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51All right, mate, keep it light. It's a family show.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- I'm an old man. I'm very tired. - You're tired?!
0:25:54 > 0:25:56You should try working in show business, mate!
0:25:56 > 0:25:57I'm dead on my feet!
0:25:57 > 0:25:59CYMBAL CRASH Ha! Get it?
0:25:59 > 0:26:00WIND WHISTLES
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Is there a reason I'm here?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05All right mate, don't get shirty. It's my show!
0:26:05 > 0:26:09So, Winnie, now you're deadie, how do you think you'll be remembered?
0:26:09 > 0:26:14I led Great Britain to victory against the Nazi foe,
0:26:14 > 0:26:15with decisive tactics
0:26:15 > 0:26:18and some of the most inspirational speeches of all time,
0:26:18 > 0:26:22saving our great nation in its darkest hour.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24We fought them on the beaches...
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, we've all done that before, haven't we?
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Have you?
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Well, er...no.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32But, um, Nigel here's very brave.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36He was just telling me about how he fished a spider from his eye socket.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39So, am I as well-loved as I deserve to be?
0:26:39 > 0:26:40You were a bit weird
0:26:40 > 0:26:44but, to be fair, you're considered the greatest Prime Minister of all time
0:26:44 > 0:26:46and one of the greatest ever Britons.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Sweet.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51On the other hand, no smoking!
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Argh!
0:26:53 > 0:26:54Filthy habit. It'll kill him.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Oh, it's too late!
0:26:56 > 0:26:58GUFFAWS
0:26:58 > 0:26:59I'm smoking tonight!
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Smoking with jokes.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03My jokes are smoking, not me.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05# Chatty Death, Chatty Death
