Believe it or not, my first car was a '59' 3.4. I bought it in 1966. It was a beater. The guy who owned it had raced the Jag. It was always breaking down. But when it ran it was a thing of beauty. Sadly, I had to sell it when I went into the military. Fast forward fifty years, I'm the proud owner of a '07' S-Type.

Thankfully they improved the format with UP2U, that was shown behind On the Waterfront during the second half of summer programming from 1988-89. The funny thing is that Carolyn was and still is never identified so i'm not surprised if this is her only role or not.
I first saw Marooned soon after it premiered at the classy Ziegfeld theater in Manhattan. I recall the incredible roar of the Saturn V's engines. The whole building actually shook! One piece of trivia concerns the Service Module made for filming. It was accidentally built three feet shorter than the real one!
The old 1938 tube stock. Misery line. Hated Angle, always felt I was fall onto the track. Years of under investment resulted in this. Some times the present is better than the past.
Ordinary workers trying to do their best dealing with the legitimate complaints of passengers.Same as nowadays.Meanwhile our lords and masters (Sunak,Starmer,King Charles) strut around doing their best to drag us into World War 3.
Eating a cold meat pie out of tin foil drinking tea from a dirty chipped mug in a filthy rodent infested staff room in a station where nothing works...i remember it well...
