"Colditz" gets a repeat at last

[?????????????]

The BBC series "Colditz" is being repeated on Yesterday from Tuesday 26th. All 26 episodes. It's in the new Radio Times so is official.

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.

Thanks tonyscribble, I would have missed that!

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.

Sigh.

Sees it has a running time of 1 hour 10 mins on Yesterday, so won't be cut to fit a 55 mins schedule like it was many years ago on UK Gold

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).

Sitting here with my drool bucket waiting for David McCallum, Robert Wagner and Christopher Neame to appear

Typical.
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

Great series. Bernard Hepton playing an almost sypathetic Nazi if I remember correctly.

Agree. Most memorable episode was where someone "fakes" madness to get out.
