Metro-land revisited
BBC4 Tube Night
BBC4 are holding another of their special themed evenings of programmes tonight, this time all about the London Underground. Tube Night features an old black and white British Transport Films documentary, an episode of kids' cartoon Underground Ernie, a Dr Who Episode (the one with the Yeti down the tube - again), a brand new Arena documentary, the story of Harry Beck's tube map and a 1989 documentary about life underground at Angel (back when the station had a scary central platform). And, I'm delighted to say, at 10:25pm there's another chance to watch John Betjeman's seminal Metro-Land - which I revisited in some depth on this blog last August. It'll be the perfect accompaniment to your mug of Sunday night cocoa.
