Back in Blightly until New Year, and getting rather dismayed by the available TV offerings.
Suddenly discovered Colditz (circa. 1972/3) was being shown on the 'Yesterday' channel.
There's also a box set of DVDs available. About time too!
Anyone remember watching this the first time around?
It was all, more or less, based on fact, with a bit of dramatic license here and there. All the esape plots are based on actual (or attempted) escapes. The main protagonists are usually easily identifiable with their real life counterparts.
Best thing is, there is no incidental music, which makes the dialog and action even more powerful.
I love it. Brilliant stuff.
