The Primrose Railway Children: How BBC’s modern retelling keeps a classic on track
BBC’s The Primrose Railway Children refreshes E. Nesbit’s classic through Jacqueline Wilson’s modern retelling, with Kevin McKidd and Nina Toussaint-White leading the cast. Set in Scotland, the 90‑minute film follows a family uprooted to the Highlands after a father’s sudden disappearance. Filmed on heritage railways, it blends nostalgia with contemporary themes and premiered on CBBC and iPlayer on Dec 1, 2024.
