Grandpa's Great Escape
Many years ago Grandpa was a World War II flying squadron leader hero but sadly he is now suffering from Alzheimer's disease. His grandson Jack is the only person who can communicate with him properly through second world war fantasies. Together they re-live Grandpa's experiences in his Spitfire during The Battle of Britain.
Grandpa's behaviour becomes more and more erratic and when his family can no longer look after him he is moved to Twilight Villas, an old people's home run by the ferocious Miss Dandy. People only ever leave Twilight Villas in a coffin, says the worldly newsagent Raj. It soon becomes clear Miss Dandy is running Twilight Villas for her own ulterior motives and Grandpa enlists the help of his grandson Jack to help him and other inmates escape.
The classic David Walliams tale is brought to life in this BBC feature-length comedy drama. Starring David Walliams, Tom Courtney & Jennifer Saunders.
