I've been googling around trying to find the documentary that I remember watching about the rebuilding of the Dawlish sea wall by the "Orange Army". Is the documentary that I'm thinking of an episode or 2 from the series "The Railway - First Great Western"? If it isn't, what was the documentary series called?

I thought "The Railway - First Great Western" predated the most recent Dawlish sea wall rebuild by about 2 years.

Hopefully will find out fairly soon, managed to find a copy of The Railway - First Great Western on DVD, so ordered that. It seems to be very hit and miss as to what transport documentary programmes/series get released on DVD

Perhaps rights related issues complicate the issue, that and it's a limited market.
