It might also be an idea to include TV advertisements. Boldford (talk) 19:58, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Definitely - and music videos if there are any. Some of the entries probably deserve their own pages - God's Wonderful Railway definitely does because it was so SVRSevern Valley Railway-specific. --WillSalt (talk) 20:00, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

I seem to remember in one of the "Doctor" comedy series that Doctor Bingham (Richard O'Sullivan) got his foot stuck in a gap at a level crossing - the one to the water works just north of Hampton Loade. Think the GWRGreat Western Railway railcar was the "train". Remember it? Sharpo (talk) 21:16, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Don't forget Guy Martin. I remember seeing him being filmed on the platform at Kidderminster, and he also appeared on TV "helping" at Bridgnorth MPDMotive Power Depot. Sharpo (talk) 22:23, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Didn't he get a footplate ride (including mandatory frying of food on shovel) and a bit of work with the PWPermanent Way at Arley? I remember the latter involved a sharp telling off by one of the PWPermanent Way men for not standing clear of the track when the lookout sounded the horn to warn of an oncoming train! --Danny252 (talk) 09:48, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Added - I notice it was series 1 episode 1 so he started with the best!--Robin (talk) 11:38, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

http://forum.svra.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2389&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=folkestone mentions "Game of Shadows" & "Dancing on the Edge". Sharpo (talk) 22:47, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Did that episode of Countryfile, involving someone hanging off one of our viaducts, ever get aired? --Danny252 (talk) 09:48, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Severn Valley Railway Page has a section on the SVRSevern Valley Railway on film and TV which has a few more that might be worth including.--Robin (talk) 11:38, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Current queries

Rosie and Jim

I am convinced that an episode of the children's series "Rosie and Jim" featured their canal boat going under Victoria Bridge with 8233 stopping on the bridge and whistling. I can't find it anywhere though. Anyone else want to try? --Patrick Hearn (talk) 16:55, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Inside Severn Valley Railway

I came across a Wikipedia page for a 6 part series called 'Inside Severn Valley Railway'. There is a 30 second trailer on Vimeo. It was scheduled to air in late 2015, however I do not not remember any publicity either for the filming or broadcasting of it. Does anyone else remember this one?--Robin (talk) 13:19, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

I've never heard of it, but I do know "Severn Valley volunteer Nick Wright"... I shall make enquiries! --Danny252 (talk) 13:52, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
