TV alert: Channel 5 in the UK right now (Sunday May 22 @ 1930)

[Jimini]

I only idly clicked onto Channel Five to see what they were showing as they're meant to be showing highlights of day 4 of the ENG v SL test match (we won it y'day so there are no highlights to show), and instead there's a pretty cool documentary on in its place about the Dawlish collapse.

What's this series folks, and has it been screened before? It's fascinating! Thanks!

It's been on before, and caught me by suprise!
Well worth watching again..

it's just the normal time slot for a collapse - if England don't deliver a batting collapse something else has to take its place.

I caught that, too, but I saw it before.

It's called "The Railway: First Great Western":
