Bekonscot on The One Show - BBC1 29th January 2010
We’re very excited that Bekonscot features on tonight’s “The One Show” on BBC1.
You’ll see us preparing for the 2010 season (we reopen on Saturday 13th February), bringing the models out and getting ready for everybody to arrive. See behind the scenes and listen to some of the team explaining what we do.
We had a marvellous day filming with the BBC production team - and hope you enjoy seeing a little bit of what goes on during our winter months - when everything is indoors or under cover being restored.
Our managing director, Brian Newman-Smith said: “I’m very proud of everyone’s efforts in getting the village ready for 2010, our 81st year. They all work tremendously hard and we hope that this short piece will let people see the work that goes on in the cold winter months!”

Say about Bekonscot on the One Show so went to the Website & Andrew thought is was pretty good. He like to see how it was made & wants me to take him there in the school holidays. He really liked the video shot from the cab.

Great on the One show. As a Large scale model train enthusiast I enjoyed the railway bit. Anyone wanting to see more of the railway can see a ride around the full line on youtube. Just type in Becenscot model railway. It is well worth seeing and a visit to the village is definately on the list for 2010
