I loved this, what a great way to spend a cold Sunday afternoon in Sydney. I remember watching and really enjoying both the 1970 movie and series of The Railway Children as a girl. It was a nice surprise to see Jenny Agutter who was Roberta then, play the Mother this time with just the right amount of fragility and fortitude. The children, especially the girl who played Roberta, were delightful and they made a very believable family. Richard Attenborough was wonderful as always as the old gentleman, who wouldn't want a kindly friend like him? The scenery was really beautiful, lush and green and the 1905 touches like the steam trains and fashion are very much appreciated. A lovely way to revisit this timeless story.
