The first two episodes of the critically acclaimed drama about the life of Winston Churchill before he became Prime Minister. Starring Robert Hardy as Churchill, Peter Barkworth as Stanley Baldwin, and Eric Porter as Neville Chamberlain. In the opening episode, 'Down and Out', it is the last months of 1928 and Churchill is the most powerful man in the cabinet besides the PM, Stanley Baldwin. However, he has enemies within the Conservative party, notably Neville Chamberlain and Sam Hoare. The Tories lose the election in 1929 and a disillusioned Churchill leaves Britain to lecture across America to earn money. But Wall Street crashes, his hard-earned money disappears and he returns to Britain a depressed man. The second episode, 'Politics Are Foul', centres on the Indian question, the fall from grace of the Labour government, Churchill's speech against the Tory party which alienates him once again from his party, and his self-imposed exile in the South of France.
