Synopsis:

The winner of the Ivor Novello Award for Television Theme Music in 1994, director Adrian Shergold's spoof of wartime escape films tells the tale of a bumbling RAF Officer who plots the escape of 327 prisoners from a German POW camp. Few wartime prisoners have attempted escape quite as many times as RAF Officer James Forrester. Though Officer Forrester has twenty-three escape attempts to his name, each successive attempt he makes to break free somehow seems to go worse than the last. But this time there's a difference, because Officer Forrester isn't just plotting his own escape, but the escape of all 327 of his fellow prisoners as well - and all at once to boot.

During World War II, some Commonwealth prisoners are trying to escape from a German prison camp. Because they are old and weak, the Germans decide to escape with them. Just after the Germans are outside, the prisoners take control of the camp. Some will act as prisoners, some as Germans.

A few Germans join in when British POWs launch an escape from their prison camp.
