Churchill
I've just been watching a series on WW II on the History Channel during which several of Churchills speeches were quoted which led me to wander, did Churchill write his own speeches or did he have a speech writer like many modern politicians?

many of the ones you've heard weren't spoken by Churchill at all but by an actor who later appeared in The Archers. Churchill delivered them in the Commons but they weren't recorded at the time; when they were recorded later, Churchill wasn't always available to do it so they got an impersonator.
