The yesterday programmes are all repeats so you may have seen them recently.  The channel 5 programmes are all repeats of series shown over the last couple of years. Nothing new but still worth watching

Re: "Paddington:a year on the tracks" at 21:00 on C5 - new title, and billed as E1 with no series number and no further details that I can find. The listing mentions Cheltenham races, which sounds a bit familiar, so (with that title too) I wonder if this is a compilation of one or more of the three (?) earlier series.

From reading my Facebook feed (including one of the stars - I mix with TV personalities!) it's new stuff.  Of course, you can't believe everything you read on Facebook.

According to the programme information put out by virgin media it was first shown today, so new. Misread the year the first time - sorry for the misleading info.

I've now spotted the brief details that are on C5, and for next week it says "A heat wave causes a massive points failure near Didcot." Can anyone (with a working memory) remember when that was?

And when C5 list these two as S4 E1 and S1 E2, what does that mean? I guess it means "new series" either way.

S=Series, E=Episode. So S4 E1 is Series 4 Episode 1.

It was a new program, old content ;D ;D ... first showing, but loads of HSTs ... from Spring 2018, I believe, when trains had slam doors and people were allowed to queue close to each other.
