    Come and join Director Oliver Parker, live on our stage in Screen One to hear all about working with Michael Caine, and the late Glenda Jackson; The Great Escaper being the last film she ever made.

    Parker’s film career spans decades, as a writer, Director and actor and the evening promises to be an entertaining insight not just into this incredible true story, but also the wider film industry. Hosted by BBC Radio 4 presenter Francine Stock.

    Based on a true story.

    "Simply wonderful" 
    ★★★★ Andy Lea, Daily Mirror

    "Caine and Jackson and their ineffable class give this film some real grit: it’s a wonderful last hurrah for Jackson and there is something moving and even awe-inspiring in seeing these two British icons together."
    ★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

    With the help of his stars Parker does well, in a film of such poignancy, to keep the sentimentality in check.”
    ★★★★ Brian Viner, Daily Mail

    “There’s a bittersweetness to the film that is likely to be unexpected by many viewers... and it’s all the better for it.”
    ★★★★ Tori Brazier, metro.co.uk
