'''Sorry!''' was a BBC TV sit-com starring Ronnie Corbett as Timothy Lumsden, a librarian in his 40s who cannot escape from his domineering mother's apron strings. Seven series of six episodes each were broadcast between 1981 and 1988. The creators and writers were Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent, and the director and producer was David Askey. The programme also featured Barbara Lott and William Moore as Timothy's mother and father, and Marguerite Hardiman as his sister Muriel.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081937/ Sorry! On IMDB.com]</ref> Two episodes featured scenes filmed on the SVR.

In spring 1986, SVR News 79 reported that future filming in 1986 would include a further edition. Episode 6 of Series 5 "'''It's a Wonderful Life, Basically'''" was first screened on 21 June 1986. The episode’s plot paid homage to the classic James Stewart film "It's a Wonderful Life", with Timothy wishing that he had never been born and discovering the consequences.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0705319/?ref_=ttep_ep6 Sorry! It's a Wonderful Life, Basically on IMDB.com]</ref> Two scenes were filmed at [[Level crossing at Hill Farm, Northwood Lane|Northwood Lane level crossing]] which, as with the 1982 episode of [[L For Lester]], had been specially fitted with barriers. Both scenes involved a close encounter with a passing freight train, but with very different outcomes. The train was hauled by one of the SVR’s Class 8 08 shunters and included two easily recognisable SVR wagons, [[GWR 105873 'Mica B' Refrigerated Meat Van| white Mica B 105873]] and [[Esso Oil Tank Wagon 2686|Esso Oil Tank Wagon 2686]]. The platform of [[Northwood Halt]] is also seen on the first occasion.
