In the title of Jonathan Smith's book "The Churchill Secret - KBO" on which this movie was based, "KBO" is an abbreviation for a phrase commonly used by Churchill; "Keep Buggering On" (in other words, don't give up).
Sir Michael Gambon and Romola Garai appeared in Amazing Grace (2006) and Emma (2009).
As soon as she enters the bedroom intended for Sir Winston Churchill, Millie the nurse (Romola Garai), states there is insufficient space and that she will require access to both sides of the bed. The same thing was said by the nurse (Mary MacLeod) in Brideshead Revisited (1981), where the invalid is Lord Marchmain. Both dramas, made 35 years apart, were directed by Charles Sturridge. Coincidentally Sir Michael Gambon has also played Lord Marchmain, but in the later motion picture Brideshead Revisited (2008).
This is the second time that Bill Paterson ministered to a bedridden Sir Michael Gambon. He played psychiatrist Dr. Gibbon, who treated Gambon's character Philip Marlow in The Singing Detective (1986).
Sir Michael Gambon appeared in The King's Speech (2010), which also featured Churchill as a character. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), he appeared with four other Churchills: Robert Hardy, Brendan Gleeson, Timothy Spall, and Gary Oldman.
"[Clemmie wants Winston to retire from being PM, and to spend his time at Chartwell. He is determined to continue, despite his stroke. His immediate aim is to attend the Conservative Party conference in Margate. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden has just visited, expecting Winston to announce his resignation] Clemmie Churchill: I thought Anthony was looking well... if a bit thin. Winston Churchill: Clemmie, if I'm wrong and I can't get through Margate, then I'm all yours. That's my promise. If I fall, there's nowhere I want to fall except in your arms. Clemmie Churchill: You've made promises to me before, darling. Winston Churchill: I know. Clemmie Churchill: And broken them. Winston Churchill: But not any more. Clemmie Churchill: [with resignation] Margate, then."
"[Winston is giving a speech to the Conservative Party conference in Margate. After faltering, he abandons the rest of his speech, as he had arranged he would do if he got into difficulties, and moves to a rousing finale] Winston Churchill: One word personally about myself. If I stay on for the time being, bearing the burden at my age, it is not because of love of power or office - I've had an ample share of both. If I stay it is because I have a feeling that I may, through things that have happened, have an influence on what I care about above all else. The building of a sure and lasting peace. [the party members give him a standing ovation; Winston beckons Clemmie to join him at the podium] Winston Churchill: [looking at Clemmie, though speaking about the government] Let us then go forward together, through courage and composure, with resolution and good faith, to the end which all desire. [further applause]"
