The Rail Strike
Tuesday, 7 June 1955 at 21:30:00 UTC
This was one of the most topical shows broadcast as there was a national rail strike taking place at the time the episode was broadcast. In the episode, Sid and Hancock decide to run their own train pulled by the original 'Rocket' stolen from the Science Museum. They head to Brighton but only get as far as Battersea.
