Forty years ago a war movie created a legend. Timewatch now tells the story of Lieutenant Colonel Toosey, the British officer in Burma whose job it was to supply the Japanese with a workforce to build the bridge - which still exists. His tale is told with the help of tapes that recount his experiences and through the letters he exchanged with his Japanese captor after the war. NEW SEASON.
