Scrooge

Adapted for the screen from Charles Dickens' 'Christmas Carol' this superb production stars Alistair Sim as the tight-fisted, heartless miser, who treats all men with contempt and all kindness as 'humbug'. But that is all about to change with a visit from the ghost of his partner Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future. With an all-star cast this is one of the finest versions ever made.

Ticket To Ride - Belgium - The South And Luxembourg

Tour southward through Belgium to Namur, Mons for the railfest, Charleroi-steel city, Liege and then down into the Ardennes, where we see some of the forest being loaded to train for export. Trains and water always photograph well together, and there is plenty of opportunity to do this in southern Belgium as the countryside is criss-crossed by waterways, both natural and man made. We conclude our assignment by looking at the smallest rail network in the EU, that of Luxembourg. It may have less route miles to its name than Antwerp docks but it's packed with interest and still runs some of the most interesting electric locomotives that can be found outside the eastern block.
