Abandoned in San Francisco, the Scotsman was restored by Sir William McAlpine and is today owned by the National Railway Museum. It is the second in BossaNova\u2019s <em>Secrets of\u2026<\/em> strand, following <em>Secrets of the Lost Liners<\/em> (12 x 60 mins).<\/p>\n<p>Holly Cowdery, Bossanova\u2019s head of sales, said: \u201c<em>Secrets of Flying Scotsman<\/em> is not just for trainspotters; it\u2019s for anybody who loves a cracking good story. Packed with steam, speed and glamour, BriteSpark\u2019s brilliant documentary charts the rise and fall and rise again of a British icon that has enthralled the world for more than 100 years. For BossaNova, it\u2019s a thrill to be steering the Scotsman on what we\u2019re sure will be another record-breaking journey onto global screens\u2014and a privilege to be partnering once again with Channel 4 and SBS on a world-class project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nick Godwin, executive producer at BriteSpark Films, added, \u201cThe Flying Scotsman is the world\u2019s most famous locomotive and its journey over the last 100 years has been one of high drama, both on and off the rails. Through exclusive expert testimony, never-before-seen footage and access to the Flying Scotsman today, this two-part series pays tribute to a true legend of the tracks, charting the compelling story of a British icon.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BossaNova Media is working with Argonon-owned BriteSpark Films on Secrets of Flying Scotsman, which has been pre-bought by Channel 4 and SBS Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":22994,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[6111,1417,2199,10956,10957],"class_list":["post-22993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bossanova-media","tag-britespark-films","tag-holly-cowdery","tag-nick-godwin","tag-secrets-of-flying-scotsman","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BossaNova Media Unveils Secrets of Flying Scotsman - TVREAL<\/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\/tvreal\/bossanova-media-unveils-secrets-of-flying-scotsman\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BossaNova Media Unveils Secrets of Flying Scotsman - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BossaNova Media is working with Argonon-owned BriteSpark Films on Secrets of Flying Scotsman, which has been pre-bought by Channel 4 and SBS Australia.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bossanova-media-unveils-secrets-of-flying-scotsman\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-05-20T15:10:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-05-20T15:29:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/05\/FLYING-SCOTSMAN-BossaNova-525.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=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\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\/tvreal\/bossanova-media-unveils-secrets-of-flying-scotsman\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bossanova-media-unveils-secrets-of-flying-scotsman\/\",\"name\":\"BossaNova Media Unveils Secrets of Flying Scotsman - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-05-20T15:10:29+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-05-20T15:29:20+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bossanova-media-unveils-secrets-of-flying-scotsman\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bossanova-media-unveils-secrets-of-flying-scotsman\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/bossanova-media-unveils-secrets-of-flying-scotsman\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"BossaNova Media Unveils Secrets of Flying Scotsman\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
