variety of steam interest. In Middleton, near the centre of Leeds, one of the world's oldest railways has been resurrected, while the Bowes Railway still works its early rope hauled inclines. In the Lake District, narrow gauge steam conveys tourists through the beautiful scenery of Ravenglass and Eskdale, but equally delightful are the standard gauge railways over the North Yorkshire Moors, and in the high valley of South Tyneside.
The Bluebell Railway was Britain's first preserved standard gauge railway, and it is still ... more
expanding, as is the nearby Kent and East Sussex, and the Great Central Railway (which has now adopted main line running). The Severn Valley Railway promotes itself as Britain's premiere steam railway, while Paignton and Dartmouth is 'the holiday line'. All demonstrate the enormous enthusiasm generated by the steam locomotive.

to the Welsh coast led the way for the British Railway Preservation Movement. Today these lines provide for railway enthusiasts and tourists alike, and this programme features the activities of the Ffestiniog Railway, Welsh Highland Railway, Bala Lake, Llanberis Lake, Corris, and the father of them all, the Talyllyn Railway. Railways at Fairbourne and on the slopes of Snowdon (Wales' highest mountain) were built to cater for visitors, as was the Conway Valley Railway Museum and the Great Orme Tramway, at Llandudno.But standard gauge locomotives were also busy, on the Llangollen Railway and on the Cambrian main line along the North Wales coast. The programme ends in Aberystwyth, with the Electric Cliff Railway, and the Vale of Rheidol, the last steam to be operated by British Rail.

With the Very Best of BritishSteam of Yesteryear, you are given a real feast for the eyes and also, for the memory, of course. Well, for those of us old enough to remember when steam trains regularly plied their business up and down the main lines of the United Kingdom.
The last regular steam runs in Britain came to a very sad halt in August 1968. That's slightly under a year before the first manned space flight to the moon, for those interested in transport trivia.
Without an unsung bunch of dedicated enthusiasts and professional and semi-professional film makers in the previous two decades, these wonderful steam trains would not be available to the general public. They would only exist as the personal ...
WHAT IS IT ABOUT:
Peep Show is a Britsh comedy sit-comn that focuses on two flat-mates, Mark and Jez, whose completely different lifestyles don't stop both of them getting into a series of bizarre and ridiculous situations.
SERIES 1:
Series one basically focuses on both men trying to sleep with Toni, the next door neighbour, but also sets the foundation for Mark's infatuation with Sophie, a focus of many future series. There are six episodes on the DVD, each of which is 25 minutes long.
This is an excellent comedy show that is cleverly built on a very basic premise; take a nerdy, law-abiding, nervous office worker and his unemployed, anarchistic drug using mate, and let the madness ensue! The juxtaposition of two completely different characters leads to some brilliant set pieces.
The show is very minimalistic, but it ...
