Britisk fjernsyn skal nå vise en serie om livet til Walter Thompson, Winston Churchills livvakt. Serien baserer seg på Thompsons memoarer, som ble funnet på et loft for en tid tilbake. Ifølge memoarene var Churchill døden nær 20 ganger:

Among the threats to his life were from an Indian nationalist who tried to kill him in America, a German sniper team in Antibes, a loner with a loaded revolver as Churchill was about to board a flying boat, a sewer bomb in Athens planted by Greek communists, a German attempt to target his plane, and a navigational mix-up which could have seen the British Prime Minister shot down by the RAF.

Så er det bare å vente til en av de norske kabelkanalene plukker opp denne serien…
