Narrated by Julie Walters the first episode appears to include most of the South Island scenic railways. Channel 4, 19:20, also on HD and +1. Also repeated on Friday on 4Seven at 19:00

And they have swapped episode numbers.

I know it died a financial death, but did it get going again? I seem to recall there was an attempt to restart it.
