Churchill's bodyguard, Walter Thompson, reports preventing a number of attempted assassinations, including by the IRA and Nazi agents.
One that stands out to me, and I may be mis-remembering it, involved Churchill skinny-dipping (apparently this is how he preferred to swim, it wasn't any hanky-panky) in America, during the war, and confronting an attempted assassin while naked. Again, I may be mis-remembering this, but the documentary series based on Thompson's diary did talk about something along these lines. It's probable that it was Thompson himself that invented the scene in a "IF there was to be an assassination there, this is what would have happened" kind of way.
