Grand look at the late Victorian and early Edwardian British Empire. Watching the formation of the great statesman, and the frightening number of times we nearly lost him. Simon Ward did a brilliant job of acting as Young Winston. Unfortunately there is a BUT. I first watched this on VHS tape. When I progressed to DVD, I gave my tape to a charity shop and bought the DVD. Sadly the DVD was about 20-30 minutes shorter than the VHS tape. It is missing a big chunk of him rescuing a fellow officer in Afganistan, and the complete "ghost" scene at the end. Disappointing but not fateful to the film.
