"All That Might Heart"
 
I treated myself to a copy of this DVD in the Beaulah series from the LT
Museum Shop yesterday.

I haven't watched the other films on the disc yet but "All That Mighty
Heart" is excellent and if you have even a passing interest in London
Transport (or indeed in 20th century London) you'll love it. It's just
*so* much in period: neatly-dressed commuters, young newly-wed couple in
a New Town (Stevenage), chirpy bus and train crews, London closing down
at midnight (!), Jack de Manio, Raymond Baxter. You'd have to have a
heart of stone not to be moved by it if you have (as I do) even only
misty childhood recollections of the era.

(But then I loved the "Underground Maps Since Beck" book, so that might
worry some of you here!)

"All That Might Heart"
 
Yes, I have had that film (taped from television many years ago) for a
long time, and it is full of nostalgia for me too! L.T. in the days
when it really was a truly great organisation.
