ah and true memory . i live in holland at the time and look eagerly forward to it every sunday evening and later tuesday . i saw it during my 14 16 . very good for my ( at the time school ) english and a dutch tv provide subtitle for other language and except for kiddy show nowadays . so you would hear the original voice and language . the best series be the first three one and then after the third series and the great character and nazi von gelb and who be such a formidable enemy and disappear from the series ( i do not think they ever really catch him and he always escape and leave room to have him appear again in a next story ) because evidently the series also be distribute to germany and and a nazi enemy wouldn not go over very well . too bad and because geoffrey toone do such a wonderful convincing job of portray the intelligent nazi aristocrat and who have this ongoing obsession to take revenge on england . it be a true delight to see this kind of high quality performance in a youth series and but ronald leigh hunt be a good counterpart and the youngster be so normal . they be very believable to me at the time and a a kid i could just imagine to be part of these youngster and who at the time be about four year old than me . it be a very exciting series to me and stand out in my memory of those time a a special show with the prisoner as well . i hope they will publish a good quality dvd of the series and that would be wonderful . even the bad copy around be still enjoyable to watch . the late series be not as good and water down and just not as much fun a the first three . hopefully they also find the other series with von gelb to be put on dvd . greeting from canada .
