Me included. The BBC waited long enough, before actually showing it for the first time
Having Radio stations of their own, I suppose the BBC is less likely to publicise other stations, currently on the air. When they thought Caroline was finished in 1980, they were falling over themselves to publicise the sunken Mi Amigo.

I love this programme, and am looking forward to this episode in particular. Michael Portillo seems willing to join in with everything, and I simply like steam trains - the comforting sound they make and that smell!! Previous Message
Hello,
We always co-operate when TV poeple want to include Caroline in some filming, but we know that the exposure is fleeting. Shows such as Four In A Bed and Antiques Road Trip are not very prestigious and our few minutes of fame tend to be forgotten by the viewing public by the next morning.
We are more hopeful with the episode mentioned above where the TV personality Michael Portillo visited us. The weather was awful and I think we would have been in deep trouble had we drowned the star of the show.
Obviously we have no control over what gets filmed or what then gets edited or what sort of slant they decide to portray. But we had a good time and Mr Portillo seemed to get in to the spirit of it.
So, let's hope for the best.
PM.
