(See ''[[Oh, Doctor Beeching!|main article]]'')<br>
A BBC TV sitcom ran from 1995 to 1997, set in the small fictional branch line railway station of Hatley. Filming took place at Arley.
A row of Victorian railway cottages was built in the yard as a film prop. After final filming the cottages were dismantled and retained, but despite reminders to the BBC about what they wanted with them they gave no response. Ultimately they were broken up with the assistance of the [[SVR Apprentices|Junior Club]].
The garden on the main platform by the Gents WC was created by the BBC and is known today as the BBC garden.
The signalbox had a name plate above the door.
