| They were escaped prisoners-of-war, desperate to risk anything rather |
| than be recaptured. They had even put on enemy uniforms, armed |
| themselves with enemy weapons. There was nothing they would not do to |
| avoid going back into captivity. |
| |
| Introduction |
| |
| A former Commando staffer once told me that he almost used to dread |
| whenever the much-loved 1963 war film "The Great Escape" had been on |
| television. Long before satellite movie channels, streaming, or even |
| DVD, the antics of Steve McQueen, James Garner et al were solid, |
| reliable Christmas/Easter/Bank Holiday entertainment on the British |
| small screen. |
| |
| The latest viewing usually led to a flurry of hopeful story synopses |
| identical to the movie (as if the staff were unaware of it) or queries |
| as to whether Commando had "done" that particular tale - and if not, |
| why not? |
| |
| So, as you'll see here, Commando does occasionally do prison camp |
| stories but they have to be different to the aforementioned Hollywood |
| classic. This one delivers the goods. It has a fairly dark edge, which |
| is enforced by Ian Kennedy's magnificent, moody cover. |
