Chris Tarrant Extreme Railways 'CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR TRAIN' (Ukraine)

Arriving in Ukraine, Chris wonders what on Earth he is doing here! It’s a country best known for civil war, nuclear disaster, Soviet repression and lots of cabbage soup. Centuries of invaders have left a legacy of a 13,000 mile rail network to explore, but it appears rambling and run down… is this a railway too far?

Travelling from Chop in the far West to Odessa on the Black Sea, Chris finds that nothing here is quite what he was expecting. From the a bizarre heritage to the sewers of Lviv and the worlds supposedly most romantic railway, his trip also takes in the evidence of a little known genocide, the remains of the world’s worst nuclear disaster and the opportunity to start a nuclear war. It’s the most unusual journey he’s ever taken!

This film premiered on Channel 5 in the UK in January 2019.

Ronald Reagan, 1986: "That man Chernobyl... It's his fault Chernenko erupted... Spewed atomic nonsense all over Europe, Ed."
Ed: "Er, Mr President, that's the wrong way about, sir..."
RR: "Say, Ed, ya mean Mr Chernobyl shovelled nuclear waste into the burners?"
Ed: "No, Mr President, Mr Chernenko... Ah, never mind, sir. You'll never be as dumb as Trump."
RR: "Fred Trump, Ed?"
Ed: "No sir, his idiot son, Donald."
RR: "Duck, Ed!"
Ed (ducking): "Whoa, Mr President, what's happenin'?"
RR: "Relax, Ed, I was just finishin' off your sentence."
