This tv series is being repeated in Melbourne Australia: Thursdays on
channel 2, 23.00-55.
* Thurs.29.5: St Petersburg - Tashkent: Not much railway.
* Thurs.6.6: Derry - Kerry: Some railway (NIR, CIE and two private lines:
perhaps one quarter of the program).
* Coming on Thurs.13.6: Brazil.

The programs are pitched at the general public, have little for railway
enthusiasts, and are no substitute for travelling there oneself.

A mini series (Kangaroo Valley), depicting the life of young Australians
in London in the 1970s had its departure scenes filmed at Muckleford
(C&MR, Victoria) under a false name. A full-page promotional photo
appeared on the fron of the Age tv guide (Sun.25.5?).
