Default Digging the Great Escape

The film I was working on in Poland is on CH4 2100 next Monday.

I haven't seen it, so hopefully it will be good. Despite my best attempts I was caught on camera a few times, hopefully I will be well hid or its on the cutting room floor! Though I do hope moving tent was included, it looked very funny when we picked up a tent, which looked like it just got up and moved

I saved some Polish vodka from the trip, which I can now down next week

Going to have to watch on catch up. Saw beginning and it looked pretty riveting but wife wants to watch Young Apprentice. On another note I know that one day I'm going to watch a rerun of The Great Escape and Steve McQueen is going to successfully make that jump!

A motorbike was never used in the Great Escape!

There was one nice touch at the end, that I thought was cool. There was so much that wasn't shown thought, there must have been about 150-200 hours of video.

What did people think?

Is it being repeated? I would've watched this.

I really enjoyed it!

It was a shame the huge shaft was started so early, I got the impression the Colonel was a bit, shall we say, keen?

I only watched until 10.00pm though, faaaaar to tired after nights.

Did you put in an appearance?
