Doctor Who - Audio Details

October 1944.

As World War Two draws towards its conclusion, a Nazi defeat begins to seem almost inevitable.  But that might be about to change...

Two intruders are captured in the grounds of Colditz Castle, the most secure Prisoner of War camp in Germany.

At first, the guards think they're dealing with British spies.  But the strangers arrived in an advanced travelling machine, the like of which they've never seen before.

With the "TARDIS" in their hands, the Third Reich might triumph after all…

Once again, a big thanks to Neil Blomley, who suggested sending the Doctor to Colditz, and who also provided me with some great reference material.  Thanks also to Chris Howarth, Neil Harding and Jason Lythgoe-Hay, who helped out with some of the details of Klein's past - and to the usual suspects at "the Brain Trust", who provided answers to a few questions.

Almost everything I needed to know about Colditz, I learned from an ex-inmate, Major Pat Reid, via his excellent books on the subject, The Colditz Story and The Latter Days at Colditz.  They're out of print now, but well worth finding if you can.  The true story of the brave and resourceful men who were sent to Oflag IV C is much more fascinating and inspiring that I'd ever imagined, and this play is dedicated to them.
