The German soldier at 23:35 has an MP-40 but ammunition pouches for a Kar-98k rifle.

Brilliant great thanks you more please

It was first class. Bernard Hepton is an excellent actor he plays Albert Foiret in the Secret Army another masterpiece worth watching

Avoid the Tom Hardy version.....it sucks.

One episode that stands in my memory is about a prisoner who feins mental illness, if you could convince the Germans that you were mentally ill then you'd be sent home. The problem was that he ends up doing too good a job and actually drives himself insane for real.

We all watched when young ; Do u remember him A Valentine in "Raffles" played high class thief used to watch with my sister when parents went back out for drinks

Cheers Wayne G , thanku thanku

Everyone seems to be 10 when they saw this happy 60th u lot and me he he 64 great year

I would not describe war as noble or glorious, but as the great Vietnam war photographer once said, " you can't take the glamour out of war".

Ah this was last episode where's Christopher Neame (Dick Player) acting. I wondering where he go but stopped acting on this series

Christopher Neame is a dead ringer for Marc Warren

Incredible acting

US General looks Police Academy Commandant Lassard

Thank you for posting. Are Episodes 2,6,7,10, and 11 unavailable. I watched this as child w my father back when it aired on American PBS.

A fantastic programme that I remember from my youth. I have just binge watched both series over three days and thoroughly enjoyed them. Does anyone know what happened to Anthony Valentines character Major Mohn(?)

I've just watched this series for the first time since it was originally aired, and really got engaged with it. Great series. I was fortunate to know one of the prisoners who built the glider in the attic, thoroughly nice self-effacing chap who kept on flying well into his 80's (he had a little Jodel aeroplane). It felt like a connection to this story.

This is the 4th episode I have watched and it has left me humbled and in awe that the script and actors have painted such a vivid and moving story so succinctly, in every step, in such a short period of time to do so.

What happen to Dick Player later?

I am not yet watched all episodes but what happened to Dick Player ?

No part II 😢

Dear old ed bishop ! UFO👍

Michael Gough was terrific as Willi, the alcoholic you shouldn't trust.

The character of Pat Grant is clearly based on Major P. R. Reid, who wrote the Colditz books on which the TV series was based, and he is mentioned as a Technical Adviser in the closing credits. Pat Reid held the position of Escape Officer overseeing British escape attempts in Colditz until he made his successful "home run" to neutral Switzerland in late 1942. I remember watching this series and the sequel when it first aired and I actually had the honour to meet the man himself at a Colditz Exhibition, where I got a signed copy of his book.

Superb. Many thanks for the complete series.

Really enjoyed revisiting this after a lifetime. On reflection it has more than a few boarding school parallels.

remember Anthony Valentine's role in Callan & Colditz, but he also appeared a couple of times in 'Minder', as a professional gambler (called Maurice), once as the boss of a team of folk trying to beat the casino, (this was based on the real activities of a guy called Norman Leigh, 'Thirteen Against the Bank') & at least once as a professional card player. An excellent actor....

Reliable information is that this was all cloud cuckoo land, and I think Reid’s work is classified as fiction. POWs were all too poorly fed to be capable of making escape attempts diet consisting of bare minimum required under Geneva convention plus supplements from Red Cross Parcels

Someone can say this series boring but remember when this is made! Time when not so hurry than nowadays Excellent TV series😊

I was on holiday in Majorca and got talking to a Dutch guy. He was able to get the bbc in Holland in the 70s and managed to teach himself English when watching colditz.

German using a British four..

To bad the lead actor got away with murdering his wife

Prentice Hancock Space 1999

Good series.

Convincing, that's the word. The most convincing episode, for me. Why can't politicians be more 'convincing'.

Frogs ?? French ??

Hogan's Heroes did it better.

The allies uniforms look too new especially all that time in a pow camp and when do they ever take those hats off but, still good to watch after all these years 👍😁

If Sergeant Arbuckle had spent less time drinking with Marion Ravenwood, he might not have been caught in the first place.

Excellent series.

June 2024 and still love watching Colditz ... been watching this oon and off for 50 years 😀

This has to still be the greatest episode of any drama series ever made. I saw this when I was about 8 years old when they used to show a 10 minutes bit with Pat Reid after the episode. I'm now 58 years old and this remains in my memory all these years later. This broke me when I first watched it , it still has the power to do it now.

From my experience in tea chests he can easily push out the sides.

Poor David Mcallum, such a damn good actor and is so much good stuff, and he ended his career with a load of carp like NCIS, entertainment was so much better back then when writers and audience were so much better educated

This a classic - I just done Harry's Game in one sitting - classic tv.

Wonderful to re watch these. As a 19 year old student Colditz was required viewing. It was 51 years ago. All permances were top rate. David McCallum was outstanding. We were lucky in the UK to have such fine actors. The tradition continues.

Used to love watching this back in the day brilliant series with brilliant actors
