"County Secrets" is a fascinating series about obscure bits of England.
The Wiltshire episode contains a lengthy tour of Corsham bunker, which
will probably interest most people here... although I didn't catch sight
of the ex-LUL escalator, which I thought was borrowed from Alperton
station during the war and never given back (although CULG says that two
escalators went to Corsham from Holborn and St Pauls, so I'm not sure
why I thought Alperton was involved).

A television programme then... Channel? Time?

Sorry but I think it's a legitimate question to ask of someone who
posts a post such as you did. Without rummaging around I'm not
entirely clear on what the "County Secrets" videos come from - the
first Google result is the video hosted on Vimeo (a Youtube-esque
video hosting provider), but the first 30 seconds look quite slick.

It is shown on some channel or other. I watch it on my TiVo so can lead
you to the video via Google easier than I can find out what channel it
is on. Since the Wiltshire one has just been on TV, it will be a while
till it is on again.
