The Box (RIP) was a torrent sever dedicated to British programming, and turned me on to a bunch of amazing shows from the 70s. My favorite is Secret Army, an espionage thriller about a Belgian resistance unit during WWII that I devoured over the course of a few months. It stars Bernard Hepton, who also appears in the sequel series, Kessler, as well as in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's People. Colditz is from the early 70s and perhaps a little more dated as far as production values go but still great. There was a recent HN post about the story of the Colditz glider, built by British prisoners to escape the castle they were held prisoner in by air.
