Hello and welcome. This is the final episode of our series on Winston Churchill. We left you

with the war against Germany won, Churchill announcing to the nation that the fighting in Europe is over,

but the continent and Britain are shattered.

The UK is not nearly as badly affected as some countries, but it is still a bleak place.

War dead number some 450,000, and the economy is in a whole.

Britain is on the verge of bankruptcy.

It's time to start rebuilding,

and the nation decides Churchill's not the man for the job. The Kharky election sweeps Labor into power and Churchill out of number 10. He's gone, but he's certainly not forgotten. His time as

Prime Minister, his views and his decisions

are still being hotly debated today nearly 80 years later.

And this is Legacy, the show that tells the lives of the most extraordinary men and women ever to have lived,

and asks if they have the reputation that they deserve. This is Churchill, Episode 4, Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat.

Turtle was happened. We're going to be racist.

We begin this series with the country singing for he's a jolly good fellow.

Winston Churchill. These clips are from news coverage of one of several Black Lives Matter protests

in June 2020. The clip shows crowds of protesters surrounding the bronze statue of Churchill,

which stands outside the Houses of Parliament in London. His name is written on the plinth below, which stands outside the houses of Parliament in London.

His name is written on the plinth below, and someone has used spray paint to add, was a racist.

And there are counter-protests too, with people turning up to defend the statue and the man.
