A respected vicar unwittingly becomes involved in a racehorse doping scandal
This comedy, considered one of Will Hay’s weakest, features a shot of LMS Stanier Class 4P 3-Cylinder 2-6-4T No.2509 arriving with a train at an unknown station. The Class 4P express passenger tank locomotives were designed specifically for the London, Tilbury and Southend line of the LMS so it is almost certainly a station on that route. It masquerades as ‘St Marvell’s’.
