People involved in the making of the classic Railway Children movie three decades ago are being hunted by a TV crew.

The timeless 1970 version of the Edith Nesbit tale was filmed on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, and many locals had roles on or off screen.

Now the BBC in Birmingham has launched a search as it prepares to produce a series of ten programmes, each featuring a classic film.

Local people may be invited to appear in the programme alongside some of the original cast members from the movie, whose line up included Jenny Agutter and Bernard Cribbins.

Contact locally for the production team is council countryside officer David Parsons, who said: "The BBC is keen to hear from anyone involved in any way in the making of the film.

"It may be someone who had a bit part, a member of the Haworth Band which played on screen, or perhaps somebody who worked off camera - helped 'build' the land slip, for example, or assisted with the administration side of things.

"It could be that people have particular memories of the filming, or photographs, which they are able to share."

Anyone able to assist should contact Mr Parsons on 07876 216638 during office hours, or leave a message on 01274 432666.
