Winston Churchill features prominently in Victory of the Daleks and the BBC has a treasure trove of material relating to him.
The new collection entitled 'Remembering Winston Churchill' offers the perfect way to get to know the man behind the cigar - the real person and not merely the mythical figure so often depicted.
The collection was assembled by BBC archivist Jim Sangster who told us, 'Remembering Winston Churchill' includes interviews with people who knew him and broadcasts from leading experts, as well as BBC television's complete morning's broadcasts of Churchill's State Funeral. We wanted this collection to offer something that people might not get from history books - such as the claim from Lord Avon (aka Anthony Eden) who said that what most dramatic representations of Churchill miss was that he was a very funny man.
The BBC offers an insight into But you can find out about the famous leader online as 'Remembering Winston Churchill' is available now. As well as this new collection the BBC offers an over view of the wartime Minister, a special programme looking at Churchill the orator and much more.
Take a look through the BBC's pages about Churchill and find out more about one of history's most fascinating figures.
