"So this is Colditz."

"Don't get up."

"I wasn't going to."

"I doubt that, Mr. Carter. Still, we'll see."

"That's right. We'll see."

✨ ... the 2024 Anthony Valentine Convention! ✨

It is a new year, and per usual we will start it up with the annual AVC and stream various film and television programmes from our dear Tony's career. Come join us on Saturday, 13 January for some Raffles, Callan, Justice, and a number of other wonderful performances from the '50s to the '90s! There is not a set programme, but I will as usual be liveblogging and let you know what is coming up next. Join at any point and come and go as you like - we will be happy to welcome you into the room! Date: Saturday 13 January Time: 15:00 GMT (Time Zone Converter) Place: Caracal.club (room link will be shared on my blog shortly before we start) Duration: Per tradition, for at least 12 hours! Join for the whole thing or drop in and out as you like - it's up to you!

Who can join: Anyone who wants to! It is preferable though if you create an account on Caracal beforehand with a recognisable username, or at least say hi and tell us who you are when you enter the room so we know it's a real person joining!

If you have any other questions about the convention, just send me a telegram. See you on Saturday!

If there was a Tenth Doctor story that took Colditz into consideration, do you think there'd be an awkward moment between the Doctor and the TARDIS when they realize his face is very reminiscent of that one nazi that she pulped?

BBC Colditz Fanfiction

For those interested in Prisoner of Wars camps and POW fiction I want to share a very old fanfiction which was written in 1996 by Sue and Sal from The Android’s Dungeon (A very old fanfiction website) about the 1972 British TV series Colditz.

It is a brilliant multi-chapter fanfiction featuring the pairings Dick Player/Phil Carrington and also Franz Ulmann/Kommandant Karl

The fanfiction was originally published in paperback before it was available online and is also the oldest example of a WW2 German pairing I have found online.

An Airfix ad for their Colditz Glider. The real life glider was built by British prisoners in Colditz castle during World War ll. This model, produced in 1974, was likely a tie-in with the popular Colditz TV series that ran, for 2 series, from 1972-1974. The glider became part of the storyline in the second series.

Colditz is a British television drama series co-produced by the BBC and Universal Studios and screened between 1972 and 1974.

The series deals with Allied prisoners of war imprisoned at Colditz Castle and their many attempts to escape captivity, as well as the relationships formed between the various nationalities and their German captors.

Colditz episode 6

[radarsteddybear]

I finished my Hogan's Heroes rewatch this morning.  (Or, at least, I think I did; I can't remember now if I ever went back and rewatched the pilot, so I might do that tonight.)  Funnily enough, after being so excited that it's finally streaming, I ended up switching to watching via DVD by the end because so many episodes are missing (plus the quality's  a lot better). 

Next up, I'm planning on rewatching Colditz, which I've been meaning to do for a few years now.  I'm looking forward to that.  I also mentioned to my dad that we should get back to watching M*A*S*H together; we watched the first season (and the film) the summer before I went to college, and I kept watching without him. It would be cool to go back and revisit it...and maybe actually watch the finale this time 😂
