Andrew Roberts reads his five essays on Winston Churchill tying-in with his book - Churchill: Walking With Destiny).

He describes the character traits and enduring influences that made up this great politician's life - the sense of destiny, the 'shades' of his father, his various friendships, his chronic 'tearfulness', and the wit and wisdom he often employed to effect.

Andrew begins with a look at Churchill's 'very many brushes with death, even in peacetime' - and how this shaped his thinking and instincts, and his belief that he would one day save the country from disaster...

Omnibus of five parts.

Producer: Duncan Minshull
