Churchill's relationship with God blew hot and cold, yet he had a sense of himself as a man gifted by fate. Sir David Cannadine explores his faith and his driving sense of destiny.
Churchill once admitted he did not support the Church from the inside like a 'pillar' but from the outside more like a 'flying buttress'. His relationship with God blew hot and cold and yet he had a sense of himself as a man gifted by fate with a higher purpose, as he called it, a 'glow worm'.
In this programme, historian Sir David Cannadine explores Churchill's faith and his powerful and driving sense of destiny.
With Roger Allam as Winston Churchill.
