Adhering faithfully to the established British dramatic tradition of presenting war based drama in an understatedly realistic, character driven, but nevertheless tense and exciting fashion, the setting for this series was the infamous German POW camp Oflag IVC, situated to this day on a cliff face in eastern Germany, but better known the world over as the legendary, so called, "escape proof", Castle Colditz. This WWll drama was inspired by the 1954 film, 'The Colditz Story' which was itself derived from the best selling memoirs of real-life escapee Major Pat Reid, MC. (the series technical advisor), and ran on BBC1 from October 1972 to April 1974. The first three episodes of the series acted as an extended introduction to the basic foundation plot of the show and deftly introduced the viewers to the three main central characters by charting the events that led up to their arrival at the camp. Colditz's British POW contingent was under the reluctant command of Lt Colonel John Preston, (played by actor Jack Hedley) whose main adversary was the unnamed German Kommandant of the camp ( played by Bernard Hepton). Thanks to a combination of assured acting and insightful, sensitive scripting, the mutual respect shared by the two opposing officers gave an enhanced edge of humanity to what might otherwise have been strictly one-dimensional roles. The series was a co-production between the BBC and America's Universal TV, but for reasons which were never explained it failed to find a screening in the U.S. market, except for episodes twenty-four ("A Very Important Person") and twenty-five ("Chameleon"), which aired as a two hour TV Movie entitled 'Escape From Colditz', in 1974. ----------------------------------------------- File size 349M/B ---------------------------------------------- Video Length 00:47:25 frame 496 x 352 frame Rate 25 frames/sec Bitrate 128kbps ---------------------------------------------- Audio 101kbps ---------------------------------------------- =============================== Some of the other rather spiffing shows available now and always if you signup free @ www.TheBox.bz: Comedy: The Office, Peep Show, Coupling, Chef, Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, The IT Crowd, Brass Eye, Nathan Barley, Young Ones, Monty Python, Blackadder, Alan Partridge, Father Ted, Coupling, Little Britain, Mr Bean, Extras, Green Wing, Mighty Boosh Drama: Casualty, Holby City, The Bill, Hustle, Skins, Shameless, Ashes To Ashes Entertainment: Faking It, Derren Brown, Scrapheap Challenge, Strictly Come Dancing, Wife Swap Game/Quiz Shows: Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Have I Got News For You, Deal Or No Deal (UK), Q.I.
