Can anybody remember The Spoils of War?  It was a programme in the late 70s early 80s.  I can't really remember what it was about, but alot of the footage was filmed in Millom.  I remember watching them filming down at our old Iron Works site. The Dvd of this programme has just come out, so I think I might buy it just for nostalgia.

I didnt see much TV in the 70s and 80s. As a train driver, I was either doing a late turn at work or in bed early for a very early turn.

It was a shocking experience drive them trains, they were electric. And getting up at 2.30 in the morning was even more shocking
