The Great Escape was a BBC1 Daytime show, presented by Nick Knowles. It was transmitted in May and June 1997. The series was an interactive holiday show, which never escaped from its Pebble Mill studio!
Thanks to Ian Collins for making this titles grab available.
The following comments were left on the Pebble Mill Facebook page:
Joolz Richards: ‘I remember it very well. Tony Steyger was the Exec and I was his PA. It was Nick Knowles’ first BBC gig and it also featured a very young James Martin and Simon Calder as regular expert contributors. Chris Fox was one of the studio directors, Pam Creed was a producer for a while. We shot two shows a day in four day blocks over the bank holiday if I remember rightly. It was a bonkers show to work on and my very first experience of production!’
Linda Flavell: ‘I was PC on so e of it, particularly remember the show about Australian meats…kangaroo went down well..’
Gill Thompson: ‘Yes I remember this show, I organised the studio audience for it.’
I was on this show as a guest when I was 15 it was actually the Australian one . I ate kangaroo emu crocodile and widgety grub! Me and my friends were featured as we were 4 15 year old boys being taken to Lanzarote by one of their parents . good times
