ABANDONED ENGINEERING Mysterious structures that time forgot

Yesterday, 8pm

DERELICT but incredible buildings and structures are brought to life with an expert eye in this fascinating series.

Locations include a windswept Scottish island, a secretive bunker in North Wales, a subterranean network in Ukraine and a lost industrial town in the United States.

And there’s a touch of star quality to this series seven opener as it tours some Hollywood heroes

– empty but iconic sights that have lit up the silver screen.

Five eerily familiar locations that may be deserted now, but once made for the perfect backdrops.

Narrated with ‘movie trailer’ type dramatic voiceover, we are expertly guided and teased as we’re introduced to the real places that inspired blockbusters.

Among them are ruins out in the Saharan desert that became home to a legend, a ghost town in rural North Carolina that doubles for a cinematic dystopia and a prison that features in one of the biggest movies of all time.
