I saw this in 1985 and it wasn't good then. Having re-watched a few episodes on YT, time certainly hasn't been kind to it. On paper, with its cast and writing team, it should have worked. Instead, it feels like a poorly conceived attempt to rehash To the Manor Born for a less discerning audience whilst avoiding the BBC's wrath.

I like this one because it is not so sugary sweet as the first two Home Alone films. The boy who plays Alex might not be as good as Macaulay Culkin, but it still delivers the laughs as the four spies get their just desserts!

I have got this film. It might only be short (about 8 minutes), but the stunning scenery that the train travels through is breath taking.

This is one of Edgar Anstey's 'British Transport Films'. This film shows a train travelling through a snow covered, English landscape and the electric guitar instrumental perfectly compliments what the viewer sees.

Snow deservedly won the short documentary Oscar in 1965. This is the only time that the British Transport Film Unit ever won this award. There are many other films made by this unit that are worth a look. There is Farmer Moving South, Elizabethan Express and Blue Pullman to name but a few.

So watch Snow if you get the chance!
