The last in a four-part series, in which historian Martin Gilbert, who has spent 25 years researching and writing the life of Churchill, presents the first complete television biography of Britain's wartime leader.

This final film in the series covers the great statesman's life after the war until his death in 1965. The 1945 General Election was Churchill's first major post-war political test - and the Conservatives lost.
Barbara Castle says, "He couldn't realise that the people had been quietly making up their minds that he was a great wartime leader but he wasn't the man to bring the peace." A heckler's shout of "war monger" stuck in people's minds. As Leader of the Opposition, Churchill warned of the Soviet threat and urged Europe to unite - domestic politics often bored him. He turned once more to painting and commented wryly, "Happy are the painters for they shall not be lonely." He returned to power in 1951, suffered a massive stroke but hung on to office for as long as he could, infuriating his successor Anthony Eden. His oldest surviving secretary provides his epitaph: "I saw an enormous marble plaque and on it the legend 'Remember Winston Churchill'. I thought to myself, 'How could anyone forget him?'" Producer Jeremy Bennett
