The premise
Here’s the bit.
An Eagle Line representative uses a toy train and a map to explain his proposed London-to-Edinburgh service. The minister mistakes the quick demonstration for the actual journey, then worries that the passengers would have to fit inside the model. Each patient explanation creates another problem, until even the hand pushing the train becomes a cause for alarm.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
This isn't Britain. This is a map of Britain.
There are no giants.
A little extra
Notes from the archive.

The rabbit hole continues
One more couldn’t hurt.
