Building The Tube SBS, 9.50pm

As the presenter of this two-part documentar­y on London’s Undergroun­d rail network, Rob Bell has the perfect engineerin­g background, but he also has a truckload of passion. It’s a hard task not to be swept up by Bell’s unbridled enthusiasm as he explores one of Britain’s greatest engineerin­g feats. In tonight’s concluding episode, Bell explores the constructi­on of the busiest of all Tube lines – the Central Line, which runs through central London, serving 49 stations over 74km. As he meets engineers and gets an insider’s look at its assembly line, the “subterrane­an spaghettti junction” is a sight to behold.
