Colditz

[Barry D]

If I recall correctly 'No Hiding Place' was ITV not Beeb.

ITV and Beeb if you include Ant & Dec

(I think the colon in Litefoot's original post is there for a reason )

I own some bootleg DVDs of this that I've never seen yet. I really must dig them out sometime...

Yes I know, I was only being silly !

On the original topic after 'Colditz' & 'Secret Army' was there not another WW2 series from the same producers. ?

[Chris]

Yep - The Fourth Arm.

[Maxwell Beckett]

Gerard Glaister also produced Moonstrike in the 60s which was another WWII based series.

I'd love to see the three existing episodes.

[Ian K McLachlan]

Could this be coming to DVD at last? The BBC Shop seems to think so.

[Cat's Pyjamas]

Would be great if true - a series i've wanted to see for some time. Linky here.

[James]

It would be good to see it released and it's a very good Series, but I don't think it's in the same league as Secret Army personally.

[Cat's Pyjamas]

It was actually picking up the Secret Army set cheaply a few weeks ago that got me thinking of Colditz again.

Having recently listened to the excellent audio books (an enormous number of cassette tapes, bargain at £2 from the library clearance sales!) from Colditz the Whole Story, or some such, I was wondering if it was time to buy the DVD's - I assumed they had long been released.

[Chris]

Excellent news if true! Bit unfair comparing it to Secret Army really, as Colditz is a very different type of series. Most of the episodes revolve around an 'escape of the week' plot, but are still worth seeing.

[Chris-in-NJ]

Wasn't this a BBC/Universal co-production? If so, perhaps the same agreement that has permitted the Paul McGann Doctor Who movie to be released in R1 has cleared the hurdles to this appearing as well.

[Pinky]

Tell me Im dreaming!

Well, the release in November certainly looks to be pukka. A number of the regular online retailers have it up for pre-order.

It must be said, this will be one of THE releases of the year - not just because it's a cracking series, but owing to it being off everyone's radar with the well documented rights problems.

I'm speechless, as this really has come out of the blue! Stunning news!!!
