In a Channel Four (UK) programme to be aired soon, Escape to Victory has been voted one of the 100 greatest war movies of all time. John Wark is interviewed about his role in the film, and it will be interesting to see where it eventually ends up on the list. Keep an eye out for the programme in the New year.

Picture Page Update
20/01/04

The way this site shows the pictures has been changed, rather than have separate pages for each pic, Ive decided to generate them using a single file. Also main Galleries are now up, and rest will follow by end of the week. As soon as this happens I will then do a big picture update with a lot of new pics for you all, as well as the wallpapers I promised last month.

If you have any problems with the new pictures set up then please let me know, and I'll see if I can solve the problem, Ive tested it on IE and a Netscape compatible with no probs as yet, but you never know.

Many people have been asking where to get hold of this classic film. Unfortunately it is currently not being distributed over here, however there are ways around this

I wont pretend to fully understand it or the implications, but Mik Undertown sent me an email about how the funding of Escape to Victory apparently led to a watershed legal decicion in the UK. Take a look at it and see what you think.
