Saturday, May 10, Walter Meets Winston
In the background of almost every piece of footage of Britain's great wartime leader Winston Churchill is an anonymous figure: his bodyguard, Detective Inspector Walter Thompson of Scotland Yard. This is the story of how these two very different characters met, and how the poor boy from London's East End saved his boss from an IRA Assassination attempt.

Sunday, May 11, Lawrence and Walter Save the Day
Soon after he became Winston Churchill's personal bodyguard, Walter Thompson was given the challenge of keeping his boss alive during a visit to the Middle East. Churchill was a natural target for assassins and on several critical occasions Walter was rescued by one of the most enigmatic figures of the 20th century - Lawrence of Arabia.

Monday, May 12, Nearly Killed in New York
In 1929, Churchill ceased to be Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Walter Thompson sadly stopped guarding his friend. However, within two years, Winston's outspoken views had gained him fresh and deadly enemies. Walter was recalled, but the next threat to Winston's life came from a totally unexpected direction.

Tuesday, May 13, Indian Nationalist Assassin
Winston Churchill had served in India as a young Army officer and he believed that India should remain as part of the British Empire. However, on a speaking tour of the USA, an Indian Nationalist organisation forced Walter to draw his gun on three occasions in order to protect Winston's life.

Wednesday, May 14, Nazi Sniper Plan
During the 1930s Churchill's outspoken opposition to Hitler made him a marked man. So much so that French Intelligence got wind of a German plot to assassinate him. Immediately, Winston called his former bodyguard, Walter Thompson, out of retirement to protect him once more.

Thursday, May 15, Dangerous Travels
As the Second World War began, Churchill was brought back into the government after 10 years in the wilderness. For his bodyguard, Walter Thompson, it was the beginning of the six most active and nerve-wracking years of his career.

Friday, May 16, Surviving the Blitz
By June 1940, Britain was facing Nazi invasion. However, the next year was to bring a host of new perils. For as the bombs rained down, the one person to whose safety Winston gave no thought was himself and Walter had to cope as best he could.

Saturday, May 17, Attack at the Flying Boat Dock
The entry of the United States into the Second World War meant an enormous increase in responsibility for Churchill's bodyguard Walter Thompson. Very soon, Winston was to come within seconds of Assassination by a lone gunman.

In the middle of 1942, Britain's Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his bodyguard Detective Inspector Walter Thompson set off on their most dangerous journey yet, braving the fighters of the Luftwaffe in North Africa to get first to Egypt and then on to the Soviet Union.

Monday, May 19, Suicide Attack in Tehran
Hitler's henchmen have devised a plan to kill Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt at the Tehran Conference. It is up to Walter and the intelligence services to protect Winston's life from immediate danger.

Tuesday, May 20, The Kiss of Life?
Winston Churchill returns from Tehran in very poor health, so much so that his doctor expects him to die. Walter's devotion is such that he insists on staying at Winston's side on the crucial night and disaster is averted.

Wednesday, May 21, The Sewer Bomb
When Winston visits Athens he is supposed to stay at a hotel where Greek guerrillas have placed 1000lbs of dynamite in a nearby sewer. They shoot at his plane and even fire on HMS Ajax, his temporary home in Piraeus harbour.
