From the very first filming contract in 1961 (The Innocents), the Bluebell Railway has hosted myriad film and TV stars over more than six decades. We have travelled the world, visited numerous different stations, both real and fictional, met a wide variety of characters and had many adventures along the way. This book explores that journey through a series of feature films, films for TV, classic TV detective dramas, factual/educational progs, commercials, pop videos and costume dramas. Tastes may have changed over the decades – and so have the way that films are made and the way we watch them. What hasn’t changed, even with the advent of CGI, is that when producers want historic trains within an historic setting, nothing seems to look quite as good as a real train in an authentic setting.Join us for the ride as you travel the Bluebell Railway – the line to the stars.

“Not just a shimmering guide to our personal cosmologies written in precise and lucid prose, this book is also a devastating collection of cultural-criticism essays cum meditations on the very nature of being alive.”—Emma Copley Eisenberg, author of The Third Rainbow GirlA soulful exploration of the twelve astrological signs embodied by our living “stars”—from divas to philosophers, poets to punks—and the ways they can help us better understand ourselves and each other, from the wildly popular astrology columnist for New York magazine’s The Cut.Whether you believe in it or not, astrology’s job has never been to give us a preordained vision of the future, nor to sort us into twelve neat personality types, but to provide the tools and language for delving into our weirdest, best, most thorny contradictions, and for understanding ourselves and each other in our full complexity. The stars and the planets then are more like mirrors that show us who we are, that give us an understanding of how to be and how to move through the world; how certain people do it differently, and what we can learn by studying them.In Madame Clairevoyant’s Guide to the Stars, Claire Comstock-Gay brings the sky down to Earth ...
