This programme was proof that Churchill had at least one likeable person in his family despite the voiceover and some of the contributors trying to get us to think otherwise. One of the more fascinating insights into his mother was that she wore a musical bustle that played when she sat down and she had relationships with men other than her husband. The latter was the main focus and I wonder if we were supposed to be shock, especially as this was reiterated on a number of occasions. We were also told she had the eyes of a panther. I'm surprised he didn't ask for them back, but that's another story.
