NEWS! Two exciting Titfield Thunderbolt film updates!
(1) Next Friday 15th May at Talyllyn Railway 75th anniversary gala I am hosting a Titfield Thunderbolt quiz, in the evening, at Wharf station. Exact details tbc. If you're at the gala, JOIN IN!
(2) Titfield in 4K! Next month, STUDIOCANAL is releasing a 4K remastered version of The Titfield Thunderbolt on Blu-ray disc set, coinciding with 75 years of the railway preservation movement. I have recorded a bonus extra historical documentary on location at the Talyllyn (part of the Blu-ray product) on how the TR inspired TEB Clarke, who was involved and the legacy of the film today. The documentary video has been directed & filmed by my friends Luke Ryan and Charlotte Williams - they are also volunteers at the Talyllyn Railway. We had SUCH a fun day making it!
I don't have any more info on the release yet - I just wrote and presented the documentary - but there's a bit more info here: https://www.comedy.co.uk/.../8582/the-titfield-thunderbolt/ and I imagine more info will be available on release in mid-June 2026. I'll post more info here when it's available to me. The SUPERB new cover art is by the very talented Anne Benjamin. More news soon. Cheers!
