Churchill’s Secret Affair, Channel 4, 8pm
IT may seem like there isn’t much left to say about Winston Churchill. However, this documentary explores a less well-known chapter of Churchill’s life, looking at his relationship with Doris Castlerosse, a member of London’s high society and the future great-aunt of supermodel Cara Delevingne. She and Churchill had holidayed together four times in the south of France, and their history would come back to haunt him when he paid a wartime visit to President Roosevelt in the White House due to the fact that Castlerosse was in the US – and had a portrait with the potential to wreck his career.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
