Steam Days, BBC documentary series from the mid 80's.

I rediscovered the 'Going Great Western' edition of this series. 'Steam Days' from the BBC.

I remember at the time a lot of enthusiasts were very critical of the series. I can't understand why!

I remember watching those and enjoying them although I was fairly young. I don’t remember the criticism of them but maybe some of our older members do?

Enthusiasts being critical of programmes made by non-enthusiasts? i can't imagine such a situation.

Ah of course!

I watched it yesterday. Oh so clichéd and so typical of 1980s railway television programs.
