We Saved A Train: Francis Bourgeois and Chris Harris to front new series for WBD

Warner Bros. Discovery UK & Ireland to launch new-look TLC channel with a Big Bang and unveil a host of new linear commissions, including We Saved a Train

As well as the new content confirmed across TLC and Really, viewers can also look forward to a brand-new series coming to Quest in mid-2026 with Francis Bourgeois & Chris Harris: We Saved a Train (w/t). The 8x60 series from Naked West, a Fremantle label, follows friends and engineering obsessives Francis Bourgeois and Chris Harris as they take on the challenge of restoring a dilapidated diesel locomotive and bringing it back to life. Francis, a mechanical engineer and passionate train enthusiast, and Chris, famed for his love of speed, precision, and no-nonsense engineering, make the perfect duo. Together, they combine expertise, humour, and genuine passion as they navigate the highs and lows of turning a rusting relic into a fully working locomotive.

“We are delighted to commission a host of new and returning linear series for 2026 with Francis Bourgeois and Chris Harris: We Saved a Train (w/t), a bumper Auction House and Shed and Buried re-order for Quest, and a new Food Network series in Adam Richman Eats Italy. These series, combined with recently announced commissions including Guz Khan’s Custom Cars and Zero Stars, demonstrate our ongoing commitment to linear television and working with both new and long-standing valued UK production partners to commission local stories and local talent for local audiences.”
