Several documentaries relating to transport and London coming up on
London Live:

25Jul15 1900: Terminus ...
01Aug15 1900: Capital Visit ...
01Aug15 1930: This Year - London ...
29Aug15 1900: Bridge of Song ...

All from British Transport Films.
How might those of us not in London see these?

No-one in London watches London Live either, it gets a staggering 0.05%
of the audience :-)

The first three are available to buy on DVD according to
http://www.britishtransportfilms.co.uk/. If you can't find them online
then I expect that the BFI shop will be able to get them for you.

Thanks all. I was assuming they were to be broadcast free to air and
maybe on web sites, not being familiar with London Live. I'm not
interested enough to buy DVDs. It looks as if I'll be able to watch on
their web site.

They will be FTA in London

I see it's channel 8 on Freeview. Is that only accessible in London


That probably depends on your proximity to an appropriate transmitter,
and/or how London is defined and the postioning of transmitters.
i.e if transmitters are positioned at the edge of the area then
presumably non-Londoners will benefit. If positioned more centrally
then possibly not. This may also involve rotating the aerial
towards a specific transmitter.

It's not really a question of 'if'. The location of transmitters is a
matter of public record.


Which is totally irrelevant to the question as to how London may or may
not be defined, for present purposes. Along with the signal strength of
the transmitters, which may nor may not, for all I know, also be of
relevance, depending on the OP's exact location.

Hence the 'if'.
