A DAY IN THE DEATH OF JOE EGG

GB
1972
1hr 46mins
Dir: Peter Medak
Starring: Alan Bates and Janet Suzman

A couple use black humour to disguise their pain as they care for their disabled child

This astonishingly hard-hitting drama makes for uncomfortable viewing and is not for the faint-hearted. Based on the Peter Nichols play of the same name it is, none the less, easy to admire for its realism. There is a scene at the end that is filmed at Bristol Temple Meads station with an express arriving behind ‘Peak’ Class 45 diesel No. D125.

Bristol Temple Meads station and the arriving train is hauled by a ‘Peak’ diesel
The ‘Peak’ is revealed to be D125 working service 1A25. It is implied that this is a ‘London’ train, but in reality this will be working a Cross-Country service.
