Hello and welcome to another World War II podcast I've been promising you an extra

episode since September. Well it never came off I was all prepared to discuss

the end of the war in the Pacific, but I struggled to

pin down the guest, so I've had to give up on that one. But good things come to those who wait. I was asked if I might be interested in having a

chat with the writer of the new World War II film Darkest Hour. Anthony McCarthen is the writer. Well, how could I say no?

But just before we get to that, if you enjoy this at the end, why not head over to Patreon.com slash W.W.2

podcast and become a supporter of the show. A dollar from each of you helps me to make more World War II content for, well, everyone.

I have no corporate sponsor funding this project, just loyal listeners like yourself. So that's

Patreon.com slash W W2 podcast and I thank those who are already patrons of the show.

So what you're about here next is the trailer to Darkish Hour

and then my interview with Anthony.

We must now select my successor and it's only when man the opposition will accept.

He stands for one thing and one thing only himself.

Why have I been forced to send for Churchill?

This record is a catastrophe.

Let me see your true qualities, your lack of vanity.

Yeah, my lying will.

Your sense of humour.

Ho, ho, ho.

Your Majesty.

It is my duty to invite you to take up the position of

Prime Minister of this United Kingdom.
