BBC R4 - Eric Williams' 'The Wooden Horse' Adapted by Mark Power Directed by Adrian Bean Broadcast in six parts September 16 to October 21, 1992 Coded mono from tape at 128/44.1 Missing most intros and outros Thanks to Sundance for these files One of the best known WWII PoW escape stories. Three men, Michael Codnor, Eric Williams and Oliver Philpot made it back to Britain via the Baltic and Sweden after escaping from Stalag Luft III. Stalag Luft III was designed to be escape proof. Forty or more tunnels were discovered under construction before this one succeeded. The tunnel's start point was concealed at a position in view of the camp guards. It was opened only when a vaulting horse was placed over it. The vaulting horse was carried to and from the concealed worksite each day. Inside the horse were the tunnelers, and, after a day's work, tunnel cuttings. While they dug, other PoWs used the vaulting horse for its original purpose - physical exercise. The production captures a feeling of paranoia and alienation. It's less good on some of the characters, who are played with a touch too much English sang froid [old chap]. On the whole though, it's well worth the listen.
