Secrets of the London Underground Set for Yesterday

UKTV has commissioned the six-part documentary series Secrets of the London Underground for its factual channel Yesterday.

In the series, railway historian Tim Dunn (The Architecture The Railways Built) and Siddy Holloway from the London Transport Museum will visit hidden areas of the London Underground. The pair will explore abandoned tunnels, secret bunkers and concealed staircases that have been kept from public view for years. The UKTV original series will be produced by Brown Bob Productions.

Secrets of the London Underground is filming now, adhering to all Covid-19 procedures and regulations. The series will air on Yesterday later this year and will also be available for catch-up on UKTV Play.

UKTV’s Hilary Rosen said: “We’re delighted to be going underground with Brown Bob for this new series on Yesterday. Viewers are fascinated by the Tube and this series promises unseen locations, fresh stories and secrets galore from right across the city. All of which will be brought to screen by the irrepressible Tim Dunn, who is this time joined by London Underground expert Siddy Holloway. Prepare to be captivated.”

Jacqueline Hewer, CEO of Brown Bob Productions, said: “We’re really excited to be producing another series for Yesterday, taking Tim on a new adventure and introducing Siddy to the audience. We can promise one thing—you’ll never travel on the tube again without wondering what’s through that door at the end of the platform…”

Yesterday’s Gerald Casey added: “Following the success of The Architecture The Railways Built on Yesterday, it was a no-brainer for us to team up again with Brown Bob again and let them do what they do best—bring us great stories about the railway. The secrets that lie beneath London’s streets are amazing, and we know we’ll be in good hands with Siddy Holloway and Tim Dunn—in fact, I can’t wait to see how excited Tim gets about all this!”
