The Railway Children (1968) [DVD]

Product Information

Jenny Agutter to reprise Railway Children role in film sequel". BBC News. 6 May 2021 . Retrieved 7 May 2021. There’s good acting from the kids, even if the scripting is a bit simple, such as the basics of dealing with other school bullies, and when they chance upon injured American soldier Abe ( KJ Aikens) – who’s escaping from Military Police – the racism he encounters feels more like a lecture than a plot point.

If you haven’t seen the original movie, then it is on BBC iPlayer for four weeks from today, but I would still have liked to have seen it on the big screen, and at a decent time of day. What a shame.

Kenigsberg, Ben (8 September 2022). "159 Films, for Every Taste, Coming This Fall". The New York Times– via NYTimes.com. Now, will we get another sequel in another 52 years, making that 2074? I doubt I’ll be around to see it. Not in this life, anyway.

Another option in that section was “It was showing in 3D”. Well, The Railway Children Return is certainly NOT in 3D, and doesn’t need to be. a b Hyde, Nathan (7 May 2021). "Agutter to return in sequel to Railway Children". The Yorkshire Post. p.3. ISSN 0963-1496.

Side guide

Lily is a bit of a tomboy type, who gives as good as she gets, while when Ted is asked to introduce himself to Annie, he chirps, “Adolf!”, so there’s a fair bit of humour where it counts.

Mitchinson, James, ed. (12 May 2021). "Lights, cameras, Oakworth: shots of the new Railway Children". The Yorkshire Post. p.7. ISSN 0963-1496. Production [ edit ] Sheridan Smith & Jenny Agutter at the press launch for the film at Oakworth Station, prior to the world premiere of the film at Keighley New US Trailer for 'Railway Children' Remake of a UK WWII Classic | FirstShowing.net". www.firstshowing.net. 18 August 2022.I also had a good laugh from Thomas’ comment about how there’s no tramps in the country, and Lily states that in Manchester, there’s loads! That’s so true, and still happening. Of course, you can tell they’re all genuine, because they all sit right outside cash machines. The Railway Children Return was announced on 6 May 2021. [6] [10] Like its predecessor film, scenes were shot in and around the countryside of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in West Yorkshire, [11] with filming beginning on 10 May 2021 [12] and taking between six and eight weeks. [13] [14] Steam Locomotives [ edit ] And for another aside, this is the first time I’ve ever come out of a film and been asked to use a tablet device to complete a survey based on the film I’d just seen, with basic questions like asking if I’d recommend it, and why I went to see it, one option being if it was for a particular cast member. There was no place to state who that would be, but… Jenny Agutter, obvs! However, when you get to Oakworth railway station – which I’ve since learned first opened in 1867, was closed in 1962, then reopened in 1968 – you have to be chosen by those looking to take children in. Yes, there’s no ridiculous Tory application system going on, here. As such, trio Lily Watts ( Beau Gadsdon), with siblings Pattie ( Eden Hamilton) and Ted ( Zac Cudby), end up living with school headmistress Annie ( Sheridan Smith– No Return, The Teacher), who’s the daughter of Bobbie. And today’s group: Lily (Beau Gadsdon), Ted (Zac Cudby), Thomas (Austin Haynes) and Pattie (Eden Hamilton).

Ramachandran, Naman (6 May 2021). " 'The Railway Children,' All-Time U.K. Children's Classic, Gets Sequel From Studiocanal". Variety . Retrieved 7 May 2021. Well, there are three plot points to conclude at the end of the new film. I won’t go into detail about them, obviously, but when you have a film that’s just a too-short 95 minutes end-to-end, you could have extended this another 15-20 minutes by showing each of these stories panning out, but no…

However, you might not know Ms Agutter has been in not two Railway Children ventures, but FOUR! The other two are the 1968 BBC series where she effectively played the same character, but as Roberta Faraday, and in 2000, as another version of the original story, for BBC’s Masterpiece Theatre, in the role of Mother.
