Britain's Scenic Railways

From busy cities to rural communities, 24,000 trains cross Britain every day, traveling some 10,000 miles. The rail network is continually growing as new track is laid and old sections of the line are brought back to life. Britain is also home to over a hundred heritage railways that welcome millions of visitors each year, to celebrate a bygone era of steam. The chance to ride on a steam train – to experience the sights, the sounds and the smells – is something that still resonates deep within us. We meet the railway workers, volunteers and travellers who share their experiences of Britain’s most scenic railways with both warmth and humour.

#Racegirl: The Comeback Of Sophia Florsch

German racer Sophia  Flörsch  has dreamt of racing in F1 since she started kart racing as a four-year-old. Everything was going well, until a horrific and world-headline-making accident in the 2018 F3 Macau Grand Prix. #RACEGIRL follows Sophia during her grueling battle to get back on the racetrack. She confronts the sport’s prejudice against women and faces the disadvantage of having fewer financial resources than most other drivers. When Russia invades Ukraine, Sophia’s team loses their main sponsor and two drivers, with only weeks to go before the start of the season, and Sophie has to start over once again. This gripping documentary offers a deep insight into the money-driven, male-dominated world of motorsports, and presents an intimate portrait of a strong young woman and the sacrifices she must make in pursuit of her dream.
