Just watched this on BBC4. I thought that it was quite good. Although, I wasn't sure about the picture of Hurricanes attacking German bombers whilst describing Roger Bushell and 92 Sqn Spitfires. It's on iplayer for those in the UK. BBC iPlayer - Storyville: The Real Great Escape Roxy
Will watch it later too, thanks Roxy. On date of Bushill being shot down 92 Sqn, usually based at North Weald, had been for several days operating from Hornchurch during the Dunkirk crisis. Not quite sure why as North Weal is not that far from Hornchurch.
Finished watching it on iplayer, I thought it was an excellent documentary. Why does BBC first air this quality of programme on BBC4? Do they consider it a minority interest programme?
Glad I recorded it so I could whizz through the family section. Once into the War, I thougt it was a fascinating story. Steve W.
