Audio: 320kbps from 320kbps AAC-LC source XPS by Len Deighton The title of Len Deighton's riveting thriller XPD stands for Expedient Demise. An alleged secret meeting between Churchill and Hitler in 1940 is at the centre of the tangled plot; Whitehall, the Kremlin and the CIA - plus a ruthless secret group - we are all somewhat anxious of that historical conference. Will the so-called Hitler Minutes prove Churchill a traitor? Deighton described his book as "faction", a blend of fact and fiction "so skilful you can't see the join". Dramatised in 8-parts by Michael Bakewell. Director: Peter King First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in June 1985 CAST Boyd Stuart ...... Trevor Nichols Sydney Ryden ...... David Garth Charles Stein ......

A Small Killing in Hollywood The Prime Minister discovers a film is set to be made about the "Kaiseroda" mine - Hitler's secret cave of treasures during the Second World War. So did Winston Churchill meet Hitler in 1940? Can the SIS (Britain's Secret Intelligence Service) uncover the truth? 2. The House in Geneva Charles Stein is on a mission to Switzerland to meet his old Colonel. Can he discover the truth about the missing treasures from the Nazi Kaiseroda mine? 3. An Egg Farm in Norfolk On the trail of wartime secrets, Boyd Stuart has been sent to Los Angeles by the British Secret Service to investigate a film company. But he's being followed and his contact dies.... 4. The Hitler Minutes Secret Service agent Boyd returns to England to question Wever, an ex-German soldier who claims he helped load the 'Kaiseroda' treasure on to the train and into Hitler's mine. Is he telling the truth? (note - the BBC announcer mistakenly says at the end of this episode that the following episode is number 3 instead of 5) 5. Operation Siegfried The 'Kaiseroda' treasure contains papers that could prove Hitler had a meeting with Churchill in 1940. Charles Stein knows where the papers are. He's being watched by German, Russian and British agents. They all want the papers... 6.

Boyd Stuart suspects his own people and tries to resign. But you don t resign from the Secret Service. 7.
