This is a 2009 BBC adaptation of HE Bates' wartime novel, following an aircrew shot down over occupied France (There is an earlier adaptation from the 1980s? which I found very bland and "safe", and which I have not retained.) The crew must battle injury and disagreement between themselves as well as the Germans if they are to reach safety, all the time dogged by the worry that one of their number is not all that they seem.
