00:00 He's in France!
00:01 Bonjour!
00:02 At 90!
00:03 Right, soon as we've had some grub, I'll take you for a spin along the front.
00:12 And when we get back, I think they've got a male stripper for you.
00:16 What?
00:17 I made that last bit up.
00:19 I want to go to France.
00:23 What are you on about?
00:25 The trip to the beaches. D-Day.
00:28 Really sorry, Bernie.
00:30 You left it too late.
00:33 I couldn't leave you all on your own.
00:36 Unless...
00:37 you have to.
00:39 Where is he?
00:42 He's disappeared off the face of the earth.
00:44 He's in France!
00:47 Bonjour!
00:48 At 90!
00:49 Well, he has done it before.
00:51 Only then, of course, they were shooting at him.
00:54 So determined to honour his fallen comrade, the D-Day veteran made a break for the coast
00:59 and mounted what has now been dubbed
01:01 The Great Escape.
01:04 Who are these people?
01:05 They're Germans.
01:06 Oh.
01:07 This was your beach?
01:09 Yeah.
01:11 Me too.
01:23 At your age, Adele, you cling to every second.
01:33 And every second is worth clinging to.
01:36 I'm sorry, really.
01:38 I've been in the papers.
01:40 I've been on TV.
01:42 90-year-old coffin dodger.
01:45 Honours the glorious dead.
01:51 What a waste.
01:53 Eh?
01:55 What a waste.
01:58 If you want to honour your friend, Bernie,
02:02 you've spent 70 years loving me.
02:06 I'd go anywhere with you.
02:09 We have never wasted one second of our time together.
02:16 Are you coming to bed?
02:18 Yours or mine?
02:22 Ooh.
02:23 Are you coming to bed?
02:24 Yours or mine?
02:27 Ooh.
