peasy23 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Caught this on iplayer, was shown first on BBC2 on Tuesday night. Very well done IMO, the story of the team that broadcast Adolf Eichmann's trial to the world. Once you get the hang of Martin Freeman's accent I thought it was excellent. Very powerful the way they mixed the real trial footage into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The banality of evil, as they say. I don't think the dreary man ever left his Berlin office during the war, probably commuted every day and did the crossword. He got caught because his son bragged about it to his girlfriend in Argentina, who turned out to be half Jewish, and turned him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thought it was an excellent piece of Television, and did Martin Freeman's growing reputation no harm at all. I also thought the chap playing Hurwitz made a more than decent fist of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiepiemuncher Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 That's the fella! Cheers for the memory jog. He was Simon Moon in Frasier with that horrendous cockney accent. I remembered the name just couldn't place him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the few things that show got spectacularly wrong - Daphne's family coming from all over the British Isles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
