Metroland

On BBC-2 now: Cruickshank traces the path of Betjeman during the making of Metroland.

At ten, Metroland itself on BBC-4.

Marvellous.

I take it this is not the 'theme park' at the metrocenter you're talking about here ;)

No, that would be Badgerland.

You would have been better served listening to Radio 2 this evening and the "Originals" programmme hosted by Lulu. All your old goth/disco/techno favourites sung by people who could play instruments and sing notes ;-)

I was just looking at Verney Junction, as it happens.

In a way, it's nice to see it's still the same middle-of-nowhere location it always was. You'd think it would've become part of Greater Milton Keynes now, or something...

I went to visit the place myself a couple of years ago, while en route to take tea with the generally splendid H.Duffy.

Then there was the conceptual tube map I knocked up last April...
