Documentary about Winston Churchill following his defeat in the 1945 election.

Documentary about the later years of Winston Churchill's life, between his defeat in the 1945 election and his return to power. He spent his time writing his memoirs.

In 1945, Winston Churchill was cast out of office by the British electorate. It was a terrible blow for the man who had just led his country to victory in the Second World War. But he refused to accept defeat, fighting back to become Prime Minister once more and writing a monumental history of the war. Professor David Reynolds tells the moving story of Churchill's wilderness years, in which old age and illness could not overcome his undiminished ambition.
