Product Information

And today’s group: Lily (Beau Gadsdon), Ted (Zac Cudby), Thomas (Austin Haynes) and Pattie (Eden Hamilton). 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! 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 ] 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. 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…

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. Jenny Agutter to reprise Railway Children role in film sequel". BBC News. 6 May 2021 . Retrieved 7 May 2021. 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. 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.
