Jonathan Pryce stars as the German journalist Gerd Heidemann who convinces himself that he has discovered a set of secret diaries written by the leader of the Third Reich and tries to convince the world, making a fortune for himself in the process. Alexei Sayle plays Konrad 'Conny' Fischer, the forger who can't believe his luck. Tom Baker, Richard Wilson and Alan Bennett also feature.
