London to Brighton: Side By Side

In 1953, the BBC commissioned a recording filmed from the point-of-view of a London to Brighton train. In 1983, another film of the same journey was recorded. This short programme presents these two iconic recordings side-by-side, demonstrating how both locomotive technology and the landscape have evolved over the years

London to Brighton: Side By Side airs on BBC Four HD at 8:55 PM, Thursday 19 June. (Subtitles.)
