Chris Tarrant: Extreme Railways, also known as Chris Tarrant: Extreme Railway Journeys, is a British television documentary series presented by Chris Tarrant for Channel 5.[1] In the series, Tarrant travels worldwide to visit railways that go through the harshest terrain.[2][3] He also travels on railways that are some of the world's oldest and most scenic,[4] and finds out their history.[5] So far, six series of the programme have aired from 5 December 2012 to 3 December 2020.

History

Chris Tarrant was approached by Channel 5 to present three railway documentary episodes in 2012, and the result was Tarrant's trips to Congo, Australia and India, under the name Extreme Railways. Radio and television composers David Lowe and Simon Darlow provided music for the series.[6] Three years later, a second series was aired, titled Chris Tarrant: Extreme Railway Journeys. As of 2020, six series have been produced.

On 12 March 2014, it was reported that Tarrant had suffered a mini stroke during a flight from Bangkok to London on 1 March 2014 while returning from overseas shooting for the programme.[7] Upon landing, he was rushed to Charing Cross Hospital where doctors did emergency surgery to remove a blood clot from his right leg.

Pretty Baby (Tony Jackson song)

Song written by Tony Jackson Sheet music cover, 1916 Pretty Baby is a song written by Tony Jackson during the Ragtime era. The song was remembered as being prominent in Jackson's repertory before he left New Orleans in 1912, but was not published until 1916.
