The Titfield Thunderbolt (1953) BBC Two, 2.30pm ★★★

The first Ealing Studios comedy to be filmed in colour is set in a tiny village serviced by a railway branch line facing closure, and was inspired by real-life events. Enter the local vicar (George Relph), whose schemes involve the villagers running the line and even appropriating a 19th-century engine from a nearby museum. John Gregson and Stanley Holloway co-star in this extremely sweet number.
