Moments of Wonder with Philomena Cunk - Season 1 Episode 6 Winston Churchill and WWII
The episode opens with Philomena contemplating the famous quote attributed to Churchill: "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." She ponders the significance of these words and what they reveal about Churchill's character, as well as the gravity of the war itself. Throughout the episode, Philomena provides her trademark wit and humor as she interviews experts and historians about Churchill's leadership during the war, his personal quirks and habits, and the broader geopolitical context of the conflict. She also travels to various locations associated with Churchill and the war, such as the Churchill War Rooms and the beaches of Normandy.
