    This is the scenario from the '55 movie "Colditz Story." The tall Scotsman "McGill" was played by Sir Christopher Rhodes.
    Perhaps they repeated the story line in the later TV series?

    I could be mistaken I might be thinking of the movie not the tv series. It's been much too lng since I've seen either.
