I've finally caught up with the recent Ch 4 programme on "WWII's Great Escapes: The Freedom Trails". Ep 4 In the Pyrenees.
Its focus is on the "
Chemin de la Liberté" - a route that starts at
Saint-Girons in the Ariège.
Bob Frost, a Wellington rear gunner, evaded via the Comet Line - much further to the west - a far less demanding route than that featured in the programme. Bob was one of the first evaders I ever met down here.
For those who were unable to catch the programme the first time around, here's a link to it (hope it works):

Edited to add: This is a film that Spanish Basques made about the Comet Line in 2011:

It's in a mixture of languages - but don't give up - it's worth sticking with it.
