this be a very good show . i enjoy the construction of real time and flashback and see the old digger meeting again and recall the terror of their captivity in changi pow camp . the main problem with the way the show be write be that the scene of life in changi be more like a holiday camp than what the place must have be like . i be old enough to remember film footage of the men be liberate from changi and other japanese pow camp . no actor could lose enough weight to have a resemblance of the state of those men . they make the jew of belsen look like sumo wrestler . i have meet several veteran from changi over the year . many would never ride in a japanese car and let alone own one . the physical and mental torture those men endure be too horrific for them to even talk about . what percentage survive . john doyle might be ok write comedy for roy and hg ( i hate that too ) but this be a serious sugar coating of history that should never have be tolerate . i be happy for satirist to write the life of brian and make fun of the crucifixion because it be obviously comedy and even if some consider it to be in bad taste . changi be write a a portrayal of a real event and and a such and might be regard by young people a a true record . great performance by a fine cast can not redeem this lightweight screenplay .
