P.O.W. -----> Prisoners of War.

This is a very interesting series which is a serious drama tackling the subject of British Prisoners of War during WWII this gives you a good insight into how prisoners of war were treated during the WWll by the German Army, Gestapo and the S.S. The story is helped by brilliant British actor James D'Arcy who is Flight Sergeant James Caddon, his plane was shot down over Normandy and taken to a POWs camp "Stalag 39" and is introduced to a group of daring escapees. The story is inspired by true stories which are very interesting.

The cast also includes ex-Eastender Joe Absolom as chief forager Private Pritchard who is a very important figure for the escapes of camp. Patrick Baladi as head of the POW's Captain Attercombe who has a very daunting and untrustworthy relationship with Kommandant Dreiber which has a twist story as his wife Alice Dreiber who is played by Amelia Curtis is an English woman at the camp with him.

The story also shows the emotional and mental effects in subjects of murder, prisoners leaping the escape queue because of family circumstances and spies in the camp.

I found the series very entertaining and would recommend it to anyone interested in WWll or general drama as not since the early 1970's and the days of Colditz.

Special Features/ Extrras Include production notes, P.O.W. Hooch Recipe, P.O.W. Slang Dictionary and a Photo Gallery which includes pictures of the cast and thier previous jobs in acting.
