Well I'm certainly not staying up to watch it! It was one of the least
interesting "comedy" shows on T.V.
The plot was pathetic (all-right, what plot?) the cast had some merit,
but the scripting was in the same vein as "Carry On" and "Benny Hill"
- no, sorry, it was worse.
The only character that had any real personality was made of metal and
made puffing noises......
I know the producers may had gone to great trouble on the technical
aspects of running a railway, but they could have payed more attention
to the script.
