Hi,

No, not John Culshaw or Rory Bremner - but the ever entertaining (in his own way) Waldemar Januszczak is back with a series on the Impressionist art movement.

...Waldemar discovers how the Impressionists broke conventions by depicting every day encounters within the unpredictable and ever changing sights around them.

Indeed, it would be breaking convention and highly unpredictable travelling by GWR in France - The Great Way Round as never before...

BBC iPlayer link here, go to time index 32.46 which includes a sequence filmed at an uncredited GWS Didcot by the look of it cool.gif

 

Regards, Gerry.

I think 5322 may have made it to France in WW1, and certainly some Dean Goods did, but definitely not Firefly or an autocoach. Shame preserved railways never seem to get credited for their TV appearances these days...

 

At least he wasn't using Toulouse Lautrec's 60' easel...
