Default Advance warning - BBC4 Tube Night

I'm sure there will be people who read utl that may wish to see all or
some of the following on Sunday 18th March 2007.

The final programme in the list will show what the old Angel station was
like - as we had a little debate about this recently you can see how
cramped it was and what the staff had to put up with. There is also the
"famous" Picklydickly Line quote from the cynical chap in the ticket
office.
