Surely the greater surprise is that it has taken this long for someone to do this?

No seriously, any complaint is long overdue and ridiculous...
When my sisters found that... Let's just say they were rather shocked.
Exactly that!

Final ever episode of T&J... I don't want to spoil it but it really doesn't end too pleasantly at all, even more so considering the target audience... But that was long ago and way off track here!

No it isn't off track at all. I had to shield my cats' eyes, especially after 2:29. I was so upset I put my foot through the computer and have sent the bill to TV Espana, who seem to have broadcast it.

Maybe Liberal Peer David Alton will call for it to be banned?
After all he wanted ALL films PG and above banned from circulation.

My jaw literally dropped to the ground when I read about this in the papers. How sad and pathetic that someone felt the need to complain about an innocent 43 year old film that's brought joy to millions.

Bit of an over-reaction to a single complaint. The BBFC are hardly going to ban the film now, are they? No use getting all worked up about it.
Well I'm surprised that they don't ban The Great St Trinians Train Robbery then.
That contains far more incidents of children "playing around on the railways", eg. driving trains, changing points and signals, having several trains within one block section.....etc. etc.

What's the betting someone found out there's never been a complaint and has done it deliberately to try and get a reaction?
I don't understand why you posted that link as the bit with the train was clearly fake.

What about the Titchfield Tunderbolt, then? Ban it as well!
Hah! Is it sad that I recognise most of the episodes those clips are from?

Even Brief Encounter shows Stanley Holloway as a station worker jumping down from the platform to cross the tracks on a foggy day, where he'd have no chance of seeing an approaching train. And he wasn't wearing hi-viz! :roll:
Yes, I know he'd have been able to hear an approaching steam train... etc!

Funny you should say that, as a while ago a friend told me to watch the "Log advert", he was going on about it all the time! Seen a few others too

What a disgraceful film....the next we will be hearing is an outbreak of young girls waving their petticoats at Northern Rail trains all over the West Riding of Yorkshire..,

If we could make it slightly older girls this could be a good thing
Me, oh yes, I do live in the West Riding.
Pure coincidence.

Well, I learn something new every day. I know the Titfield Thunderbolt film used the closed station of Monkton Combe in North Somerset as the station in that film, but it now appears that Titchfield in the the southern environs of Hampshire has also made a bid for fame.
Come on, Flamingo, you are normally so very precise with any rail-related information...
OMG what a world
and this would never ever be allowed TODAY
Blatant sexism and denigration of women not to mention safety and encouraging blonds to lie on rail tracks oh and uninsurable risk of mega pop stars on board a non approved railway wagon
BTW filmed on the heritage NVR near Peterborough, also home to many Bond movies railway plots
enjoy

I tried typing Titfield, but my autocorrect kept turning it to Breastfield

Of course, the film was adapted from the book written by Edith Nesbit, but there can now be no admonishments placed in that quarter, as she died in 1924..:cry:
