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.

Thanks for the link it looks good.

Would you be able to make the recordings available online?

Would you be able to make the recordings available online?

Very much doubt it - unless it will be legal (for example "Under Night
Streets" seems to be from the 50s, surely it is already in the public
domain?).

By the way, I know that "Metro-land" is out on DVD.

Has anyone got a torrent of Metro-land? My girlfriends dad was a guard
on the Met line when they made the program and has never seen it and
he didnt realise it was on last night. I have already had a look on
uknova and it doesnt seem to have been captured.

Thanks in advance

I see they used the same copy of Metro-Land as they did when they
commemorated John Betjeman's birth a few months ago - the copy that has a
pale yellow vertical stripe that extends from about 10% to 50% of the width
:-( It's very apparent whenever they showed monochrome film!
