[BITList] Fwd: John Sergeant on Tracks of Empire BBC4

[John Feltham]

Begin forwarded message:



The new BBC4 2 part series about Indian Railways commences today at 21:00 (Unite & Divide) and part 2 (Power & Privilege) tomorrow at 21:00

John Sergeant embarks on a unique 3,000 mile journey through the history of the greatest legacy the British left to India - its rail network. The biggest in Asia, it runs on 40,000 miles of track and reaches every corner of the subcontinent. Proposed in 1853 by Governor General Lord Dalhousie, it would become the biggest engineering project of its time and instrumental in every chapter of India's history.

For more details about this see http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00t3dbd

Unfortunately there are no details about if these are to be shown on BBC2 at a later date. I'm sure that it will also be exported to other broadcasters.
