Nimbus Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Peter Snow is currently on tonight's One Show. On the positive side, he wasn't complaining that he can't get the right coaches to match his model locos. The Nim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 They've done similar things to this before. I'm thinking about Railwatch on BBC and Going Loco on Channel 4. Going Loco was a season of rail related films and documentaries but they also had a live show from a preserved line hosted by Mike Read on the Bluebell Railway. I think that's correct, it was a long time ago. With it being BBC4 then they are hopefully aiming it at the more intelligent and cultured end of the TV viewing public. As long as they avoid the clichés then it might be worthwhile. Hey it might even attract people to our hobby. We all know it needs new blood.

cal.n Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Anyone remember the last time the BBC conveyed 'railway modellers'? Its actually quite funny, It was a Sketch on radio 4 extra a while a go. EDIT: Bad link Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chameleon Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Watching this on BBC4. Five minutes in and I'm cringing already. Jon Snows forced enthusiasm reminds me more of CBBC. It is catering to uninformed small children. It's really NOT doing much to dispel the public opinion of anorak spotting nerds. Been a bit of a 66 fest, not surprisingly.

Phill Dyson (onslaught832) Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 A programme described as being about 'Trainspotting' is of no relevance to me or I suspect my freinds who share my interest in either railways or modelling.
