Ah, thanks. Hadn't realised that.

And here (as mentioned earlier). Thanks for the reply.

I did that and pressed Enter but it returned 1303 results over 13 pages, and I wasn't about to trawl through them all looking for the programme.

Ah, on reading the help I see I'm supposed to enter the Quick URL then click Play or Record.

As might be expected the BBC film was far more comprehensive - showing the whole planning and developement including the trains and machinery etc. Its just a pity that despite the recommendations on here its not that easy to download iPlayer stuff. And the idae that they might show stuff like this, rather than Top of The Pops 1974 etc for the umpteenth time on BBC4 over the weekend is obviously a non-starter

Cool they closed oxford street for 65 hours building the victoria line.

Liverpool street will be closed for 5 years building cross rail, progress I guess.

Yup, you have to marvel at the scenes of chaps with their ears 6" from a pneumatic drill (in an enclosed space as well!)
