Also, disrespect Papa Boule all they like, he seems to be the only Engineer with the delicacy of touch required to make a locomotive pull away without wheel slip.

Brilliant! Come for the gritty WWII heroics, stay for the railway infrastructure porn.

I mean, if anyone could, Brecht could. The Streetsinger's final song almost fits the bill unmodified.

OK, because of licensing, it's not actually downloadable on iPlayer, but some of my other streaming services have it so we're good.

They ... have personalities, like geese. If they _like_ you, which probably involves knowing you'll reliably feed them, they'll be friendly and interactive. If not, then they don't see the point.

Also yes, as others have said, they're tree ducks, which can be a bit of a surprise.

Well, you can count me as one! I _am_ a train guy, and I had somehow never heard of this film. And I have a train journey of a couple of hours on Saturday, _and_ it's currently on iPlayer. I'm going to watch The Train on the train. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000f1v9

If it’s any consolation, this is the first time I’ve heard about this…

I might have repeatedly memory-holed all references to it.

I have never liked the Time Lords making Zoe and Jamie forget their experiences with the Doctor, but this case might be an exception.

I wouldn't blame you for having wiped it from your memories. I can't confirm whether it's been discussed in conversations you were in, though, as it's generally Not A Thing Fans Like To Talk About. One of a couple of bullets Doctor Who dodged in the Troughton era.

But also, I think a world in which this was possible would look very different generally in terms of social and political structures. So making that change in isolation might not be feasible, and wouldn't be as desirable a result as moving to a world where it's more possible. If that makes sense.

Yes, I think this is would be a difficult policy to apply unilaterally. But an expanding set of reciprocal arrangements between countries might be able to get there.

And yes, there is a through-line from the party that set up Yarl's Wood and that chiselled 'Controls On Immigration' on the Edstone to these policies. But I know there are plenty in Labour who are alarmed by the recent proposals, I just wish they had a stronger voice.

Sheffield, where I live, is a diverse city with a high migrant population and a history of welcoming refugees. It is made up of multiple vibrant, thriving communities, which are directly under threat from this Government's policies. Attack us, and you are not uniting Britain.

Yes! One of the things that I loved about Claire North's 84k was the use of the canal network as transport, although I can't now remember whether that was specifically a post-oil scarcity thing.
