TimeshiftIMDB 6.7/10
Timeshift journeys back to a lost era of rail travel, when trains had names, and character and style. Once the pride of the railway companies that ran them, the named train is now largely consigned to railway history. In Timeshift: 'The Trains That Time Forgot', writer and presenter Andrew Martin asks why we once named trains and why we don't do so anymore. Andrew embarks on three railway journeys around Britain, following the routes of three of the most famous named trains 'The Flying Scotsman', "The Cornish Riviera Express" and 'The Brighton Belle'. We reflect on travel during the golden age of railways - when the journey itself was as important as reaching your destination - and compare those same journeys with the passenger experience today.

The Pennine Way
Explorer Paul Rose presents a four-part documentary on the Pennine Way, Britain's first national trail, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2015. In this edition, he discovers how the route, which at 268 miles stretches from the Peak District in Derbyshire to the Scottish Borders, has changed in the last half-century. He learns that the Pennine Way owes its existence to the right-to-roam movement in the 1930s, hears about ghostly sightings along the trail and meets actor and director Barrie Rutter to explore the literary roots of the south Pennines.
