"Gone Away Part I"
The first of a two-part season finale which follows the true story of how Pat Reid and Hank Wardle (in our case Pat Grant & Phil Carrington) escaped from Colditz. This two-parter caused some controversy with Airey Neave, who was upset at its portrayal as the first British escape of the war. It starts with an account of the famous 'tea chest' escape of Flt Lt Dominic Bruce (the ironically named "Medium Sized Man" played by David McCallum) although it shows Bruce being captured outside the castle when in fact he got as far as the U Boat pens at Danzig (now Gdansk).
