After a successful BBC dramatisation of the 1960s (Voted 96th in the BFI 100 Greatest British Television Programmes poll of 2000), the film rights were bought by Lionel Jeffries, and the 1970 film was a great success. The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway and its station at Oakworth were used as location.
