Churchill was a great fan of HG Wells' work, and obviously read more
than a small amount of speculative fiction in his time, so while it
is improbable that Churchill knew Dr. Who, it is not implausible to
believe he would have been a fan.

Great story...You made my day...
Thank goodness that kids are able to get the real story from TV,
rather than the watered down pap they put into history books.
Now that the story's out, I look forward to Martin Gilbert
revealing the full details.

Subject: [ChurchillChat] Who Knew Churchill Knew Dr. Who?
Colleagues,
The following was submitted to me as an essay on a final exam taken
this week:
"Winston Churchill is most well known for being the British Prime
Minister during World War II. He saw the threat that Adolph Hitler
presented to the world, unlike that fool Neville Chamberlain, who
thought, 'Now that Hitler seems like a right fine ol' chap.'
Winston Churchill was also responsible for coining the 'iron
curtain' phrase regarding communism. What most people don't know
about Churchill is that he was a personal friend of the Doctor, or
at least he knew the Doctor well enough to know his phone number
and be able to call him in the TARDIS. Churchill summoned the
Doctor during World War II when the Daleks had infiltrated the
underground war cabinet masquerading as weapons designed to defeat
Hitler by a British scientist who turned out to be an android
created by the Daleks and given fake human memories. Churchill
later helped River Song get the painting Vincent Van Gogh made of
the TARDIS exploding to the Doctor to warn him of the Pandora
opening."
