I saw a film crew at Reading recently too, and there were the same signs displayed advertising the filming as they were previously for the Channel 5 series.

I would like to have seen the first series of, what I assume is a 'Docusoap'. Don't watch T.V. much these days so will have to watch out in the T.V. Guides for Channel 5s Railway saga.

I hope they get a discount for having the ambience somewhat flattened! :-)

To be fair the film crew were very keen to ensure they didn't get in the way of the meal being served and asked for permission each time they filmed something - even if it was just a glass of wine for an "atmosphere" shot.
It wasn't a routine journey for a number of reasons but you'll be able to see that when the programme is shown.

New series coming up ....
DOCUMENTARY: The Railway: First Great Western
Channel: Channel 5
Date: Thursday 4th December 2014
Time: 20:00 to 21:00
Duration: 1 hour.
Documentary series following the working lives of the staff of First Great Western, one of Britain's largest train operating companies. In this episode, the Great Western railway is in crisis as the worst weather for a century batters the country, pushing workers and passengers to the limit. Steve Hawkins and his team of engineers have time and tide against them as they get to work repairing one of the most beautiful stretches of track in the country after the mainline at Dawlish gets washed away, and Dave Slater and his team at Network Control have to battle the elements to keep trains running as storm after storm floods the network. A tube strike creates a headache for Ealing Broadway manager, Dean Haynes, as the extra pressure placed on overground trains into the city looks set to bring the morning commute to a standstill.

The first episode of series 2 of 'The Railway: First Great Western' aired last night. Episode titled 'Railway In Crisis', so no prizes for guessing what it's about. Available online on demand: http://www.channel5.com/shows/the-railway-first-great-western/episodes/episode-1-638For those who wish to watch on their telly, or record, there is a repeat broadcast today on Channel 5+24 at 8pm: Sky 175 Virgin 152 Freeview 55 Freesat 132 I'll not review the episode so as to avoid spoilers, but 'meltdown' isn't too strong a word! |

I've recorded it to watch tonight as currently any suggestion of watching anything other than "Masterchef" (whilst maintaining a Trappist like silence) brings death threats from Mrs Taplowgreen! .........does the title of the episode refer to Dawlish specifically or FGW▸ generally?  |
