List of Secret Army episodes
This is a complete episode list for the BBC television series Secret Army, which ran for three series from 7 September 1977 until 15 December 1979.
The series follows the members of a Belgian secret group 'Lifeline', dedicated to returning Allied airmen back to Britain, usually after they had been shot down by the Luftwaffe. Following the timeline of the Second World War, the series shows its impact on the people of Belgium, but also features the attempts of the German Nazi occupiers of Belgium to track down those responsible for the escape of their enemy.
43 episodes of Secret Army were produced; however the final episode "What Did You Do In The War, Daddy?" has never been aired in the UK.
A boxed set of all three series was released on 8 November 2004.
Series One was transmitted in 1977 and featured sixteen episodes. It begins in 1943, when the Café Candide owner Albert Foiret and his mistress Monique Duchamps help Lisa Colbert (codenamed "Yvette") hide airmen and run the 'Lifeline' organisation. The principal Germans in this series are Sturmbannführer Ludwig Kessler and Luftwaffe Major Erwin Brandt. A British agent, Flight Lieutenant John Curtis is Lifeline's liaison with London.
