My mum has a Tivo-like box that allows her to record things and catch up with them later. She still watches all of her series live, so she can gossip with her friends about it the next day.

Neville Chamberlain originally did try appeasement with Hitler, yes, but he did declare war when peace talks broke down. He massively scaled up the armed forces before war broke as a signalled deterrent to Hitler.
Once it became entirely clear that the enemy could not be reasoned with, he stood down, having exhausted all the power he had to stop further escalation.
Churchill, in contrast, was an escalator. Perhaps what the country needed at the time, but so pig-headed that he wanted to keep the war going long after support from home had dried out.

Literally means "special" in German
Very true! At the same time, I feel like you would only say that to something that will happen and not something that is currently happening. Is that right?
