I thought it was very good. Looking back at the clips of the Victoria Line being built the H&S bods would have a field day today. They were basically building it in shorts and wellies!! How things change! Log in to reply |

Fascinating programme. A bit hairy when they had to do the 'eye of the needle' between the trains and escalator at the Tube station. Can't help wondering how much more can be excavated from under London before the whole lot subsides!

From the title of this thread I thought this was somewhere in Croatia... :silly:* Maybe the OP or a mod could correct this. The actual title of this 3-part BBC2 documentary is The Fifteen Billion Pound Railway. Although BBC iPlayer is not available to viewers down under, rest assured the series is accessible via other well-known avenues. *This is how we look to you when we smile in Australia.

" said:The actual title of this 3-part BBC2 documentary is The Fifteen Billion Pound Railway." said: The Fifteen Billion Pound Railway Is it just me struggling to see how Welshdragon got the name of the program wrong? Only difference I see is that max has linked to the program information with the name, where as Welshdraggon linked the iplayer page. Last edited: 18/07/2014 at 14:37 by y10g9 Log in to reply |

I saw it but thought it was a bit dumbed down and repetitive, cutting back and forward covering the same point over and over again. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Quote:From the title of this thread I thought this was somewhere in Croatia...I was referring to the typo in the title of the thread, not in the original post. Thanks for correcting it. Agree it's padded out in places, but I found it really interesting and am looking forwards to the remaining episodes. At least it doesn't try to be as sensationalistic in the way many American documentaries are. I only wish we could achieve something like this in Melbourne. Log in to reply |
