Nesbit\u2019s classic <em>The Railway Children<\/em>. The story is adapted for the screen by Tom Bidwell (<em>The Velveteen Rabbit<\/em>, <em>The Irregulars<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>McKidd will play father Rob Robinson, alongside Nina Toussaint-White (<em>Bodyguard<\/em>,<em> Witness Number 3<\/em>), who will play his wife Sarah. The three children will be played by Ava McCarthy, Ida Brooke and Tylan Bailey.<\/p>\n<p>McKidd said: \u201cReading Tom\u2019s brilliant script was a real joy. It captures the spirit and emotion of the original <em>The Railway Children<\/em>, a film that I loved as a child, so it was an easy decision to come back and film this in Scotland. I\u2019m always so proud and happy to come home and work with the brilliant crews and talents that Scotland overflows with. I can\u2019t wait to step into the character of Rob and retell this reimagined British classic story alongside such an exciting cast. It will be a cinematic treat for the family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tali Walters, creative director at BBC Studios Kids &amp; Family productions, added: \u201cBBC Studios Kids &amp; Family productions has enjoyed a close and creative relationship with Jacqueline Wilson for many years and are thrilled to work with Tom Bidwell to bring another of her stories to the screen with such an exciting cast, including Kevin and Nina, alongside tremendously exciting new youth talent. We are proud to be making this dramatic and ambitious production in Scotland with all it offers in terms of locations and talent and very much looking forward to sharing it with families across the U.K. and around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kevin McKidd (Grey\u2019s Anatomy) has joined the cast of the upcoming CBBC special The Primrose Railway Children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3087,"featured_media":27928,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[1641,9732,9733,9734,9735],"class_list":["post-27927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc","tag-greys-anatomy","tag-kevin-mckidd","tag-the-primrose-railway-children","tag-the-railway-children","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Grey&#039;s Anatomy Star Tapped for BBC Special - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/greys-anatomy-star-tapped-for-bbc-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Grey&#039;s Anatomy Star Tapped for BBC Special - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Kevin McKidd (Grey\u2019s Anatomy) has joined the cast of the upcoming CBBC special The Primrose Railway Children.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/greys-anatomy-star-tapped-for-bbc-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-07-11T13:47:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-07-11T13:48:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/07\/BBC-PrimroseRailwayChildren-0724.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/greys-anatomy-star-tapped-for-bbc-series\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/greys-anatomy-star-tapped-for-bbc-series\/\",\"name\":\"Grey's Anatomy Star Tapped for BBC Special - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-07-11T13:47:02+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-07-11T13:48:39+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/greys-anatomy-star-tapped-for-bbc-series\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/greys-anatomy-star-tapped-for-bbc-series\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/greys-anatomy-star-tapped-for-bbc-series\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Grey&#8217;s Anatomy Star Tapped for BBC Special\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\",\"name\":\"Alexa Alfano\",\"description\":\"Alexa Alfano is associate editor at World Screen.
