As many of you will know, the original ‘Tom’, ‘Dick’ and ‘Harry’ tunnels were much smaller, but the needs of filming meant that this one had to have enough room for camera kit as well as escapees!

As it’s the last episode of #TheGreatEscape on @channel5_tv tonight, we thought we’d share a few shots from behind-the-scenes…

@zombieslew @GreatWarHuts @khakidevil @Taff_Gillingham @HorrorBiscuits @AndInTheMorning Thank you!

[Gorehound @zombieslew]

Having the tiniest idea what goes into making these, I watched this with a better appreciation the last 3 nights.
Well done everyone, it looked great.

The Luftwaffe ‘Ferrets’ were incredibly thorough - but they didn’t find any tunnels in the @khakidevil office.
Mind you, @ChiefHutBuilder was surrounded by a suspicious ring of sand…
