Mr Sachs, who is back in television on Coronation Street, visited our Swiss Cottage offices to talk about his response to the broadcast that shocked the nation, his days playing Spanish waiter Manuel in Fawlty Towers, the horrors he witnessed growing up as a Jewish boy in Berlin during the rise of Nazi Germany and his family's flight to Hampstead.
