Interlude – London to Brighton

A train journey from London to Brighton, shot from the driver's cab using time-lapse photography, became a famous BBC 'intermission' film in 1953. This is the original transmission of the colour re-make, on 15/07/1983, marking the 50th anniversary of the electrification of the line and lasting 3½ minutes. The superb synthesized score and sound effects are by Kim McCroddan, while BBC1 announcer Tim Nichols narrates.
