Secrets of the London Underground for UKTV

UKTV has commissioned Secrets of the London Underground.

The six-part series will be produced by prominent UK independent production company, Brown Bob Productions.

“Viewers are fascinated by the Tube and this series promises unseen locations, fresh stories and secrets galore from right across the city.” – UKTV’s Hilary Rosen

In the episodes, to fill an hour-slot, railway historian Tim Dunn and Transport for London tour guide Siddy Holloway will explore hidden areas of the London Underground that – despite being just feet away from where millions of people regularly travel – hardly anyone knows about.

The pair will explore abandoned tunnels, secret bunkers and hidden staircases that have been concealed from public view for years.

They will use their unique and privileged access to tell the story of places including London’s most clandestine tube station; the former terminus of the world’s first electric railway; and a station now only accessible by getting a train driver to stop at just the right place, but which played a key role during the Second World War.

“The secrets that lie beneath London’s streets are amazing and we know we’ll be in good hands with Siddy Holloway and Tim Dunn – in fact, I can’t wait to see how excited Tim gets about all this!” – Yesterday’s Gerald Casey

Secrets of the London Underground is filming now and will air on Yesterday later this year.
