In short, the concept of the show is entertaining, but highly unlikely. Winston was not going to let Jerry on his Island.

Interesting. Also interesting is that it was the committment to blocking that outcome that made the difference. We need that sort of resolve today. After history is written, it looks easy. But while history is unfolding, we're going to lose people, we're going to lose battles, and we're going to feel hopeless at times. Never forget, never forgive, and resolve to die on your feet. That is the best deterrent.

I think we saw a glimpse of it in "W" in the last 6 months. He knew, as Churchill did, what he had to do.
