(1/4) An amusing and ambitious railway stunt scene from the largely forgotten 1982 sitcom L for Lester. Looks like it might have been filmed on the Severn Valley Railway. Had to split this into three parts, so if you enjoyed this first bit, you can find the rest in the thread below. 👇🙂

"Sales of the first batch of three films from Stan and Ollie exceeded 50,000." Laurel and Hardy were first released on VHS in the UK in the mid 80s, and unsurprisingly were a huge success. (Daily Record, 4th April 1987)

Not sure how David Mitton's company came to be involved in the distribution of these, but I doubt there was more than one Star Tug and Marine Co. around back then! @tugstheexhibition.bsky.social (The Independant, 26th August 1990)

As this listing shows, Ivor the Engine was often aired on local TV stations in the US during the mid to late 1960s. I wonder how many viewers turned over from The Three Stooges to watch? XD (The Standard Star, 5th November 1966)

"When you get it right, things fall into place like a jigsaw puzzle. It's a very satisfying feeling." The only piece I've ever come across where Bryan Daly discusses the Postman Pat theme. I'm sure the full radio show would make a fascinating listen! (Huddersfield Daily Examiner, 2nd July 1991)

Seems there were plans to launch Fireman Sam in the US in the mid 90's. There's talk of a 30 minute pilot here, which presumably would have been redubbed footage from the UK version. A surprisingly big name was lined up to voice Sam too... (Bristol Evening Post, 14th June 1994)
