Last time British TV viewers saw Ed Stoppard, he was having to deal with a scandal involving his sister-in-law (Clare Foy) and the Nazi ambassador in Upstairs Downstairs. During the last week of August, Stoppard returns to British TV and once again he finds himself having to deal with the Nazis in the BBC2 drama The Man Who Crossed Hitler.

Despite the danger he faced, Litten was determined to expose the savagery of the Nazis thugs and he hoped that by doing so he might cause enough consternation in pre-war Germany to put an end to the rise of Hitler.
