At the turn of the new millennium, the BBC held a survey which sought to decide the country's greatest ever person, from any era. There was, really, only ever one serious contender. Of the more than a million votes cast, almost half were for the curmudgeonly, cigar smoking, war hero - Winston Churchill.
