Train Spotting Live BBC Four Episode 1

Broadcast live from Didcot Rail Centre, in the middle of the Great Western Railway, Peter Snow is joined by some of the most enthusiastic and passionate train lovers, collectors and enthusiasts from across the country.
Peter meets poet and rail fan Ian McMillan, challenging him to write a new poem about the iconic Flying Scotsman to images filmed by members of the public as the train went on a recent journey. Dr Hannah Fry adds mathematical insight to these incredible machines by exploring how these massive engines stay on the rails and the effect that the rail network had on timekeeping across the whole of the country.
Engineer Dick Strawbridge is in Doncaster on the trail of a workhorse of the network, the Class 66, and he also visits the National Railway Museum in York to explore how this most British of pastimes began. With spotters based across the length and breadth of the country, including resident spotter Tim Dunn in the Scottish Highlands tracking down the only steam engine working on the line during the live programme, Trainspotting Live provides a snapshot of the whole network during the hour, providing analysis and context, and revelling in this unique and wonderful world.

An hour live show seems not be enough to a lot of things to be shown and said about such a wide thematic the railway is. Is a lot of disruptive comments in between conversations to jump in live streaming places one after the other and so on that completely cut the line of thoughts and information gets completely lost to keep the schedule run. Therefore the number of dislikes, i guess. Doing television this way hardly beats gossip and Island of Love new trends putting culture shows like Trainspotting Live for second plan. Despite thet fact i would like to watch more, perhaps not live streaming to avoid this lack of organisation. Portillo's Railway Journeys are far better in my point of view, ence the success of the series for a decade or so. Just my opinion as a railways enthusiast. Hope it helps.

For more evidence of the " mess" this live stream was, feel free to click on the link for the episode 2 more precisly minute 29:00 onwards when very smart as beautiful Dr Hannah Fry kindly try to answer an important question that many members of public cerntainly do not know and had the opportunity to get it right in first hand but remained uncleared and confused perhaps though. Hence the deslikes i guess. th-cam.com/video/jwNv2AFMXkU/w-d-xo.html
