JONATHAN PRYCE AND ALEXEI SAYLE STAR IN AWARD-WINNING “SELLING HITLER” (CERT TBC)

The sensational ‘discovery’ of Hitler’s diaries and subsequent realisation that they were forged caused a world-wide scandal in 1983. Alastair Reid’s tongue-in-cheek five-part dramatisation, based on Robert Harris’s best-selling novel, exposes the machinations that led to Stern magazine’s announcement of the scoop of the century, the ensuing bidding war for serialisation rights, acrimony among the eminent historians who were taken in and, finally, the diaries’ exposure as an elaborate hoax.  Own this classic drama on 14 October 2013, RRP £19.99.

Winner of a Royal Television Society award, this Euston Films mini-series features a luminary cast – including, among many others, Jonathan Pryce, Alexei Sayle, Tom Baker, Alan Bennett, Peter Capaldi and Barry Humphries.
