SECRET UNDERGROUND

This is a new series of four programmes that will be broadcast on the following dates on ITV 1 West at 7:30pm -

Thursday 23 February - The Severn Railway Tunnel

Thursday 2 March - The Clifton Rocks Railway and the underground shelters of Britain's Secret Underground Army in Somerset.

Thursday 9 March - Calamine mining in Shipham and Iron Mining at Clearwell in the Forest of Dean

Thursday 16 March - Cave Digging, Dowsing and St. Cuthbert's Sawllet on the Mendips.

I have spoken to the production company - Redweather and it is very unlikely, due to the scheduling of locally produced programmes, that the first series (of six programmes) will be repeated. However after the second series is screened there is a possibility that both series will be released on DVD. One point is there are some copyright issues to be sorted.
