I feel so sorry for Churchillâs secretary, he must have been a nightmare to work for.
Plus, his poor long suffering wife.
Towards the end of the filmâŚshows a different side of ChurchillâŚ

I didnât know much about the UK politics during WWII and there were divisions Neville Chamberlain and Churchill on how to deal with Hitler.
Very well done overall.

I had to explain the line of succession to the throne to my 38 year old lad yesterday. He also had no idea of past kings and queens. What are they teaching in our schools? 
Over here schooling finishes at 17-18 although some perennial students have been known to hang about higher education into middle age.

In a dream world theyâd be teaching kids about the everyday lives of of working people.
Much more interesting and relevant.

Yeah why would you be taught âthe line of successionâ? With respect to past kings and queens, better history teaching would be about societal, economic and technological changes and their impact rather than a rather simplistic assumption that an understanding of an era should be gained through a focus upon the monarch. More Annales school and less great man history.

Itâs not like that kind of thing is unknown in royal families
Hopefully relevant stuff that will help students in their future lives. You know, relevant stuff.
Heâs obviously not still at school. The point I was making was that I (who am 24 years older than him) learned about British history in school and knew about the royal family and the line of succession.
He wasnât even aware that weâd had two kings called Charles. He left school twenty two years ago. I wonder what theyâre taught nowadays?
