are recalled on this
all-colour programme
which features cine film
made between 1958 and

so than those on the Isle

explain why these long
closed railways are still
remembered with such

For many, Winston
Churchill is remembered
as one of Britain's
greatest leaders,
guiding a nation through
World War II to victory.
However, the truth that
Churchill was responsible
for terrible failures,
alongside tremendous
triumphs, cannot be
denied. It is said that
Churchill - through luck
and self-confidence was
promoted into the only
job at which he was ever
good. Here, accompanied
by rarely seen footage
from the British
Movietone archives, we
explore the man behind
the myth. Starting with
his rise to power, we
track the major moments
that shaped Churchill's
early political career,
including the Gallipoli
disaster of World War I
and the bad decisions
that deepened the
economic gloom of the
1920s, before moving
into the pre-war years,
when Churchill was one of
the few politicians to
realise the threat Nazi
Germany posed to Britain.
These three programmes
offer an intimate
portrait of the man who
was far from perfect yet

perhaps the most
challenging time in its
