Channel 4’s High Society season continues with the second of four fascinating documentaries examining secret scandals and notorious figures from the higher echelons of British society. Lady Randy is the amazing story of Winston Churchill’s mother, American society beauty Jeanette “Jennie” Jerome, and throws a fascinating light on the woman who, in many ways, made Winston Churchill.

The Greatest Englishman was half American, and, to understand Winston, it is important to first understand Jennie. Winston inherited her courage, inexhaustible ambition, and refusal to give up.
