    • Trivia
      Hollywood producer Edgar Peterson asked Patrick Macnee to produce the British end of the project. At first Macnee only served as the head of the London production staff and conducted interviews with various military people who had worked with Churchill. But when Peterson was fired, Macnee suddenly found himself in charge and was tasked to hire a new director. Patrick immediately contacted his next door neighbor, John Schlesinger. Macnee left the production when he was offered to co-star in The Avengers (1961) and a pay rise from 50 pounds a week to 150 pounds.

    A forty-year-old clouded memory.
    I have a very distant & blurred memory of this series which I think was broadcast just after Churchill's death in 1965. It was in black and white and had a very haunting and grandiose theme music which remains alive in my head to this day. The series seemed endless at the time and I would dearly like to see it to day to compare my appreciation 40 years later. Unfortunately, I fear it is just the kind of series which is likely to have fallen into total oblivion so I don't really hold out any hopes on this score. If however, such a miracle was to occur, I'll write another updated comment on IMDB !
