Great Escape - The Justice
written by Robin Brooks and Robert Radcliffe

This is a full-cast dramatization of the true story of the post-war manhunt to avenge the execution of the Stalag Luft III escapees, whose exploits were depicted in the classic movie The Great Escape.

Seventy years ago this month, a group of Air Force officers began work on an ambitious plan to tunnel their way out of a German POW camp called Stalag Luft Three. A year later the tunnel was ready and seventy-six made their escape. All but three were recaptured, but fifty were then systematically executed on orders from German High Command. This much was made internationally famous by Hollywood in the film The Great Escape, which mixes a meticulous depiction of the tunnelling plan with highly fictionalised American characters - nevertheless highly entertaining Steve McQueen (and his stuntman/double) on his motorbike - and the classic thrilling double leap attempt into Switzerland.

The 'Good luck' - 'Thank you' scene - where Gordon Jackson's character makes the mistake of speaking English when boarding the escape-bus might seem like script-writers invention - yet this incident was absolutely true.

But there is a stranger part of the story which starts where the film leaves off, and reveals the real history behind the nation-building legend. The British Government vowed to avenge the murders, and within weeks of the war's end, sent RAF investigators into the ruins of Germany, with orders to track down the killers, and bring them to exemplary justice.

Award-winning dramatist Robin Brooks and internationally best-selling novelist Robert Radcliffe tell the extraordinary story of the escape, the murders, and the postwar manhunt in the chaos of divided Germany, through the eyes of one of the senior investigating officers: a straightforward by-the-book detective from Blackpool CID.

Stephen Tompkinson, Gunnar Cauthery, Ewan Bailey.
