RIGHT! As #RailwayArchitecture finished last week and Twitter put up with it for 10 long weeks (yes, I know I'm firmly on many mute lists now…) I thought it apt to tweet personal thanks and credit. And uh-oh, it's become a thread. So... (1/16)
Thank you to all 65 (sixty-five!) experts who contributed on-screen to #RailwayArchitecture. For your time, knowledge, expertise and joy. I never thought we'd have such a diverse range of voices and I am so pleased that we did. (2/16)
Everybody who contributed off-screen, by advising, by helping, or by saying absolutely no Tim do NOT touch that put it BACK; or by making things happen and by opening doors that we never dreamed that might be opened for us. (3/16)
(Sudden realisation that this is turning into almost a weird award speech. Not supposed to, I just wanted to say cheers to all who did a super project in public view and I think that it's right that they take credit. All I do is just write about railways and tweet ;) (4/16)
I had the time of my life, so thank you @brownbobprod team for making the series and making it happen. (Incidentally, as I'm just the jabbering front-man, I do make sure the team sees any tweets about it all too - it was very much a team project) (5/16)
Cheers to the whole @brownbobprod and post-prod crew including: Jacqueline, Rob, Nicki, Audrey, Lucy, Phillip, Siraj, Azalea, Josh, Doris, Will, Nick, Philip, Leigh, Jack, Adrienne, Adam, Jessica, Yasmin, Mark, Drew, Chris, Owen, Raj, Louise, Graham, Merryn… AND THE REST (6/16)
…Michael Slater for the ace music, Barney Miller for motion graphics, and Flying Spider for the drones. Telly documentary production is fascinating and each person is part of a remarkable production machine. I'd no idea so many people were involved. (7/16)
Thank you @UKTV team for commissioning, nurturing & promoting the series: it has found its happy natural home on @YesterdayTweets channel and on @UKTVplay, thanks to an in-house team who are devoted to creating programmes that its curious and interested audience can love. (8/16)
Cheers to Lucy Bailey, the indefatigable Producer Director (right.). Weeks of filming on the road and along the tracks yet STILL Lucy kept the beautiful shots and narratives going. And put up with my 24/7 #trainchat. (9/16)
Thank you everybody who watched, and all who tweeted me your thoughts. My mum will be printing the best ones and my dad will be printing and framing the worst ones (10/16)
Thank you to all the museums, groups, preservation societies, tour guides, historic building & engineering institutions and orgs who got involved by sharing or contributing related content around broadcasts - so many of us learned and enjoyed so much beyond the TV screen. (12/16)
NOW is the time that those institutions, organisations and people need us as a supportive public more than ever and I really hope that #RailwayArchitecture has helped in some tiny way to bring attention where it might be needed (13/16)
(incidentally, @railwaymuseum @sciencemuseum team took #RailwayArchitecture in whole new directions every week - I urge you to look through all the fab stories they've found in their collections and told through Twitter, FB and Instagram. It is world-class social media).
Thank you all in the railway press, TV press, online media, BBC local radio, community radio and other media too who have taken an interest and celebrated this telly programme that's now out there and free for all to enjoy (14/16).
Incidentally, if you're outside the UK, "The Architecture The Railways Built" may well appear on your screens soon c/o @PASSION_tvshows... (15/16)
