Robert Churchill died in June 1958 and I think that Hastings made the series as a homage to his friend. I have just dug out my copy of Macdonald Hastings' book " The Other Mr. Churchill" published in 1963, five years after Robert Churchill's death. I bought it about 10 years ago at Prospect Books here in north Wales for 28 pounds. It is a book that I keep diping into now and again.

It would be very interesting to see it aired again, as with "the Gun" series (which I do remember)
If not aired, then sold off by the BBC to an interested party.
I think DVD's of these series would go very nicely!

Actually even Dr. Christopher Roads has only a grainy video recording taped from the TV broadcast as well, & it was his "baby". As far as I am aware the series has not been rerun since its original broadcasting in the 70's. It is a very good series... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Adrian) http://britishmilitariaforums.yuku.com/sreply/58092 Thu, 14 May 2009 00:29:39 GMT http://britishmilitariaforums.yuku.com/reply/58082/t/A-little-gem-that-I-hadn-39-t-seen-before.html#reply-58082 feeds@yuku.com (Tacolneston) http://britishmilitariaforums.yuku.com/sreply/58082 Wed, 13 May 2009 12:10:40 GMT http://britishmilitariaforums.yuku.com/reply/58073/t/A-little-gem-that-I-hadn-39-t-seen-before.html#reply-58073

Yes, 'twas yours truly trying to get a bit of sense into that fool Clarkson whose programme had been predecided without consulting anyone who knew anything, as is so common in the TV game. He was not even present that day and my replies were to his assistant who then edited out all the meat.

I have been away from shooting for a while and am recovering from a rather poor showing the other day with my repro 53 Enfield. Still, its good to get back at it.... I happened to come by this video the other day and think that I "kinda/sorta" recognised some one featured (one Mr William Curtis I presume?). I'm sorry if it has been posted before....
