Colditz (1972)

Episode Overview

The presence of Squadron Leader Tony Shaw, one of Britain’s elite fighter pilots, sparks debates among the German officials about the best way to manage such a valuable prisoner. Surprisingly, Shaw shows little interest in his status; instead, he prefers to delve into English literature alongside his fellow captive, James Porteous. However, Simon Carter’s persistent urging for Shaw to take charge of escape plans poses a dilemma: will Shaw choose a quiet life of study, or will he be drawn into the chaos of escape attempts?
