Decent enough look at the early days of Churchill's Prime Minstership, with Act two consisting of Churchill's doubts and Halifax and Churchill pushing for peace, then recovering to make a speech during Dunkirk.
This script has a bit of a "greatest hits" flavour - famous speeches and quotes, some support characters recapping other aspects of his career ("remember Gallipoli"). The King stutters, Clementine is admiring, the cockneys are loyal, etc. It's all competently done - lacks a bit of fire in the belly (eg it cuts out before Churchill orders the bombing of the French navy).
