There haven’t been too many railway titles on SBS of late (at least not first-run, prime titme titles).
But SBS has recently acquired World’s Most Punctual Train a two part series on Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains.
The Hokuriku Shinkansen takes its guests from the hyper-modern, glittering metropolis of Tokyo to Kanazawa. The doco looks behind the scenes, is in the cockpit with one of the youngest Shinkansen pilots in the country, meets a wasabi farmer, visits woodcarvers and sees how one of the world’s last giant taiko drums is created.
SBS also picked up 45-minute travel special Love & Dolce Vita: History of the Amalfi Coast plus A Cold War of Spies (4×50’) amongst a 14 hr package of content from German distributor Autentic Distribution.
