We were joined by one such author, Guy Walters, to discuss his experience of researching and writing his book, as well as his reflections on The Great Escape as well.

Without Paul Brickhill the Great Escape would not be as famous a story as it is, as his book in turn led to the film, which led to the worldwide fame the Great Escape enjoys today. We were joined by Brickhill's biographer, Stephen Dando-Collins, to discuss his life, and his crucial contribution to ensuring the story of the Great Escape became known in the first place.
