It’s never too late to go back. Watch PBS for a special presentation of the film The Great Escaper, starring Michael Caine and the late Glenda Jackson, premiering on Sunday, November 23, 2025, @ 9PM/8c. #masterpiecepbs #michaelcaine #glendajackson
The Great Escaper tells the true story of Bernard Jordan (Caine) who made global headlines in the summer of 2014. He had staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy, commemorating their fallen comrades at the D-Day Landings 70th anniversary. Bernie’s adventure, spanning a mere 48 hours, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Irene (Jackson).
