I've been promising you an extra episode since September... Well it never came off, I was all prepared to discuss the end of the war in the Pacific but I struggled to pin down the guest so I gave up!

But good things come to those that wait!

I was asked if I might be interested in having a chat with the writer of the new WW2 film Darkest Hour, Anthony McCarten. How could I say no?

If you would like some background listening I looked at Churchill during this period in episode 8, Churchill's decision to fight in 1940.
