Yes great series. Also available on BBC DVD according to a round robin I've had from the BBC Shop.Always remember the episode where one of the PoWs feigned madness but he really became insane and was repatriated.
Amazing isn't it, a cult programme that hasn't been repeated for years (decades!), that hasn't been out on DVD because the Beeb and their US partners (Fox?) couldn't reach an agreement, and they just toss it out on a minority Freeview channel with no fanfare at all.

Was only complaining the other day in anothr thread about it not having been repeated for years (I remember ages ago it was shown on UK Gold, along with Tenko).

I live quite close to Ealing Studios and a friend who worked there took me on the set. Incredibly small, and the castle was made of painted polystyrene. Sadly none of the cast were about.
I watched this back in the70;s when i was about 10yrs old.
I loved it then and am enjoying it now.
What a superb prog it is,acting truely brilliant.
Pity we can't have this quality now.

You expect teenagers to have an attention span longer than the titles?
They only understand Tom Cruse flying in by helicopter and killing 10 people before the titles start.

UK Gold aired it in the 90's and its not been seen since.
And now it gets a repeat just as the dvd's come out
Agree. Most memorable episode was where someone "fakes" madness to get out.
Why so expensive?
Thats not expensive for 10 discs
DVD out in time for Christmas?
Quelle surprise :rolleyes:
Correct.
We are showing Colditz in the complete original form this time around. Hope you enjoy it.
UKTV.
Am enjoying it much thank you & looking forward to its release on DvD next month.
Mult-camera technique of course but great convincing acting and actual stories!
Heil!

This show requires watching and thinking!
Can't wait for next episode.
Teenagers don't run TV channels though.
It's really that TV executives today have a low opinion of everybody, even grown-ups.
Think tonight's is episode 5 ???
Still not too late to catch up as the first 4 are mostly establishing episodes.
Thanks, GG!:D Still massively disappointed I've missed so many - a Xmas prezzie for my husband I think!
