Deep in wartime Germany something is stirring. Behind the barbed wire of a
POW camp, brave allied heroes are plotting to escape, led by their daring
officer. It's something he's brilliant at…the plotting that is.
In 23 ambitious escape attempts, RAF Officer James Forrester has suffered
23 dismal failures. Undeterred, he wants to go for the Big One – an even
more audacious plan to free all 327 prisoners in one go!
The scene is set for an hilarious and sharply observed comedy drama written by
one of Britain's top writers, starring a clutch of leading television stars
backed by an award winning producer and director.
