Dear All,

I am preparing an article on _Darkest Hour_ for a French publication and I
am puzzled by a character in the film.

There is a young man who is often seen near Churchill, and he initially
shows Miss Layton round the 'War Rooms', but he is not named – I thought he
was Jock Colville. But then, there is no ‘Jock Colville’ in the cast.

On the other hand, there is a ‘Tom Leonard’ in the cast whose name does not
suggest anything to me. ‘Tom Leonard’ is played by Eric MacLennan – but his
photographs on Google do not look like the young man I mistook for Jock
Colville.

All very puzzling! I wonder who that young man is supposed to be!

Enlightenment most welcome.

With best wishes to all,
