Lines of Duty
4 Extra Debut. Tim Dunn and Toby Jones tell the story of the whistleblower who put his life at risk to save Britain's railways. From 2022.
The extraordinary untold story of a very British hero.
A man called Reg risked his life and liberty to save Britain鈥檚 railways.
The secret document he leaked became known as Britain鈥檚 Pentagon Papers - and what started out as an attempt to expose the truth soon became a fight for the freedom of the press.
50 years on, this is the incredible story using the whistleblower鈥檚 own unpublished account, brought to life by actor Toby Jones, alongside interviews with many of those involved.
Presented by railway historian and broadcaster Tim Dunn, this remarkable tale lifts the lid on the world of Government secrets, espionage and an undercover fightback by a group of railway enthusiasts.
