It was a great privilege to sit down with the legendary actor Gary Oldman and talk about his

portrayal of Winston Churchill in his latest film, Darkest Hour. In the war room, there's the chair

that he used to sit in in the war cabinet. On the left hand arm of the chair, there are these divvets

and grooves from his fingernails. And on the right hand arm are the scratches from his ring.

The behaviour is a piece of history that you can touch and see.

Check out the rest of the interview on my podcast, Dan Snow's history hit and make sure you go and see Darkest Hour when it's released to all good cinemas on January the 12th. It's an awesome film.
