The bank heist, planned like a military operation for 8 months and perfectly executed was part of Pedro Garcia’s retirement plan, he was just looking for cash and money but was totally unaware of the contents of box 1321.

But they don’t come much bigger or more controversial, than the apparent suicides of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun in the Führer ’s notorious bunker in war-torn Berlin on 30 th April 1945. Directing the three presenters was a huge challenge as they are all such big personalities but I soon realised it was my job to capture the chemistry they naturally produced together and to ensure it came through the screen to the viewers at home. I've read at least 2 books (The Seventh Secret and Fatherland) which involved Hitler not dying in 1945.

Not only do we have the two time periods at play, but also multiple points of view to provide a complete overview of what’s happening. With short chapters, which made it easy to read “just one more chapter”, The Counterfeit Candidate was an exciting read. The three plan to hit the vault in the early hours of the morning, drill and take the contents of 120 boxes and then escape. For the previous 30 years I had directed many of the UK’s most popular and enduring shows, including Top Gear, A League of Their Own, The Grand Tour, Watchdog and Crimewatch.

Robert Ludlum did it best with "The Holcroft Covenant", as has Robert Harris in his masterpiece "Fatherland". The book is a quick and enjoyable romp with all the tropes one might expect in a thriller — a bromance between two buddy cops, one Argentinian and one American, lots of brutal and completely unnecessary violence (pretty much the only woman to survive more than five minutes is Eva Braun, who we meet at the age of 100), incredible bungling by the bad guys leading to their inevitable defeat, and an ending that hints at the possibility of more to come. Amongst his directing credits are twenty-five seasons of the iconic car show, TOP GEAR and five seasons of A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN ROADTRIP, Sky One's highest rating entertainment show. We begin the story back in 1945 and the supposed suicide of Adolf Hitler and his new bride Eva Braun. Thieves tunnelled their way in and escaped with an estimated hundred million dollars’ worth of merchandise.

Once each box was opened they emptied them, with US Dollars, Euros, English Pounds and Argentinian Pestos. The eminent bank was one of the oldest in Argentina and stood,imperiously, on Avenida Cabildo, deep in the heart of the fashionable Belgrano district of Buenos Aires in the north-east of the city. The inspector and his assistants doggedly follow the leads even while being pitted against extremely powerful, resourceful and ruthless adversaries who are more than determined to attain their nefarious designs against all odds. That was a key moment as it inspired me to begin the writing process and for the following 12 weeks I worked 10 hours a day, seven days a week and became totally obsessed with the project.
