Title: oh dr beeching
Post by: lil chris on March 31, 2015, 12:10:22 AM
Hi fellow n-gaugers, I have just watched a part episode of Oh doctor beeching, the tv series on You tube. The thing is I do not remember this on the tv, it is quite amusing the main interest's is of course the trains, it looks like GWR territory, not sure what the green loco is, looks similar to a 2mt.

I love it in the 2nd best of,  blakey ( Stephen Lewis)can not pull the signal box levers and the old lady does them.

Thanks for the reminder of an old favourite that I'd forgotten about! I can see my YTD programme going into meltdown.

In my opinion, Despite the railway setting it was the WORST of the Croft/Perry (so called) Sitcoms...

It was just a vehicle for a crew of washed up second rate actors who had previously had mild success with the just about tolerable Hi-de-hi...

Oh PLD - How could you be so harsh. Chill out young man.
Not a very intellectual program I admit but nice after a stressful day at work and, even the odd steam engine to drool over!!
