Dear Ms Finnegan,
Many thanks fo the 'tip' - I had never heard of this production.
I have just tried to see if there was a DVD version available, since it was
shot in 2003 - to no avail.
Has any List Member information on the possible availabilty of a DVD version ?
I would very much like to order a set.
In my search, I found the dedicated PBS page, which has interesting "buttons" :

I was particularly interested in the "Behind the Scenes - Chartwell" one :

Best wishes,

Subject: [ChurchillChat] 'Churchill', narrated by Sir Ian McKellen
Greetings--
I'm wondering if any fellow Churchillians have seen the three-part documentary Churchill, narrated by Sir Ian McKellen? It was
shown on my local PBS channel the past three Sundays. It featured interviews with family members (Mary, Lady Soames, grandson
Winston S. Churchill, and granddaughter Celia Sandys), colleagues (Anthony Montague Browne, Evan Davies), and descendants of
colleagues (Lloyd George's great-grandson). I noticed it was done back in 2003.
I thought it was very well done. The person who read Churchill's words was marvelous. It was like the great man had come back
to life!!
I must confess that I was very sad at the end, watching Churchill's physical decline. There was wonderful clear footage of the
funeral procession from Parliament up through Whitehall. And when St Paul's Cathedral choir was singing The Battle Hymn of the
Republic, I 'lost it'...and the tears really flowed during the procession on the River Thames, as the dock cranes were lowered in
tribute.
I live not far from where Churchill's American grandfather, Leonard Jerome, was
born and raised. And that's a real honor to me.
What are your thoughts on this documentary? Thanks.
