Hey. Can I please use some of your footage in my films? I will credit you for it.

Amen 🙏🌹🙏

Hi i am a pupil from Bengeworth ce academy and I was very proud to play napery at the theatre for your show being performed by children

Very beautiful and timely now. Thank you for your video and your love of Christ.

I was at school with Ian Sandy, and at college I used to roadie for him doing his kids' parties and discos. He gave himself such airs and graces for having an Equity card and landing this acting role. So a couple of times I used to bring him back down to earth by telling him that they'd been looking for an actor to play a fat ginger twat, and that he was perfectly cast, so he didn't need to act. We used to take chunks out of one another verbally. RIP Ian.

I remember watching this, I must have been only about 8 years old. Back when it was still considered important to produce quality television programming for the nation’s children. Those days are long gone, sadly.

A really good and well written TV series. I remember running home from school as hard as I could to watch it. Having just watched this clip, I hadn't realised what a good cast had been involved.

Sticking those bloody scripts from Shakespeare to the bed posts was such a pain in the ass, but so enjoyed the tours. Love from the Stage Manager . Liz ,you were great to be with...... Jake

The little boy in the first clip wearing a cap and waistcoat watching the train cross the bridge is me.... I was at Chelmarsh primary school in shropshire and we invited to be extras in the first episode... Very fond memories

Is the man in the two-shot Mike LePage by any chance?

I remember this series well. I've just ordered the DVD and looking forward to seeing it again.

Fascinating! 🤔

Wonderful stuff Avril! We never got to see it in Australia, alas... Will try to find the DVDs. 😘

These books changed my life as a kid growing up in Nigeria

i remember that big lad being a really bad actor.

the 1906 episode was shown 40yrs ago today on feb 20th 1980.

Excellent series. RIP Ian Sandy.

Enjoyed this in 1982 on TV1 in New Zealand. I hope that i can get this here!

Avril, I remember this well. If you look through my video uploads you will see I have an interest in this subject. I definitely will be buying the dvd.

This is a wonderful yet very underrated TV series, I was born 13 years after it aired in 1980 and I absolutely love it I actually have one of the books you adapted Clear Ahead which is signed by you. I can't wait to get it signed by Terry Molloy who played Fry at Lime Street Comic Con in May, even though he's best known as Davros in Doctor Who. One last thing I must ask is there a reason why it took 37 years for GWR to finally get released on DVD? Hopefully now it will find a new generation of railway enthusiasts like myself!

Remember watching this as a tv show I think it was the late 1970s

I bought mine on Amazon - excellent value! A beautifully crafted series. Thanks, Avril!
