"Mad Jack" Churchill

from That's Old News · host That's Old News

Let's face it guys, we've all imagined ourselves as brave soldiers charging against enemy forces in defiance of them at some point in our lives, but unfortunately for us it's always just a dream. For Jack Churchill however, he lived it - and he excelled at being an absolute madman at every opportunity. Join Arron this week as he takes the gang through the exciting and unbelievable life of John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill, better known to the world as "Mad Jack" Churchill. From the Battle of Dunkirk to the end of the British Mandate of Palestine and finally working for the Ministry of Defense, Jack's life is so incredibly varied and exciting that it reads like fiction, and yet it was true. This episode was presented by Arron Keegan and joined by Conor Daly and Hayley O'Connor. The intro and outro music - Strollin' Along - was recorded by David Renda. The short audio clips of "The March of the Cameron Men" and "Will Ye No Come Back Again" were recorded by the Queen's Own Highlanders.
