- The Railway Children (1970 film). This short film clip shows the fathers return. Roberta 'Bobbie' Waterbury (Jenny Agutter) arrives at Oakworth Station, the train arrives with no sign of her dad, then through a cloud of steam and smoke as the train departs she spots her father, Charles Waterbury (Iain Cuthbertson). Roberta runs down the platform to greet him.

I don’t think there is a scene in the entire history of the movies that it as tear-jerkingly emotional as this scene from “The Railway Children”. I am not that emotional a person and I must have seen at least 20 times but when Bobbie (Jenny Agutter) cries out “Daddy. My daddy”, it still brings moisture to my eyes.
Me too, Frank!!
I lost my father ten years ago when I was forty two (the film was made when I was being born) and so it has the same effect!
@@angelacooper2661 me too, lost my dad 18 years ago, and he was such special kind person, every time see this scene tears well up, every girl needs her dad x
👍 Yep! Me too!
It doesn't matter how often you see this scene it gets you every time, even as a short clip like this one it's out with the tissues. For the record I'm a 63 year old man! :)
My father died when I was 2. It in my secret heart of hearts I always hoped that somehow there had been a mistake and that he would somehow return. I am a basket case every time I see this scene (I am at this moment weeping as I write). And I am now 70. This is the power of a perfect adaptation of the wonderful novel by E. Nesbit.
RIP Bernard 😪 There throughout all of my life and particularly my childhood - Dr Who, Carry On, Jackanory, Wombles and many, many more. Like a lovable, funny uncle you never had. Shed a tear this morning when I heard. An absolute legend. 'Let Perks be about it!'
That's a lovely comment. He was great in this film.
This entire scene sums up everything: humanity, yearning, closure. It is perfect
Jessica can be quite profound, Shes an Avenger.
Demanding fresh peas in his pompous omelette !
This scene is so special to me as my dad died the year after this film was made , all I ever want is to see him again . You can never separate a father and daughter . Xx
Aww Debbie Whitaker so true. There is a special relationship between Dads and daughters, like you I was lucky enough to have a wonderfull Dad, heres to our lovely Dads xx
God bless you Debbie. Being a father of two beautiful daughters and living a stones throw away from where this film is set i often wonder what it would be like to be separated from my darlings x
Aww im so so sooo sorry about that family is very precious god bless you and your father
🙏
I’m so sorry God bless your father xxxxxxx
It looked like there were tongues at the reunion of father and daughter. All rather disgusting.
This scene is just perfect. Jenny Agutter was, and still is, so beautiful and this scene makes me cry like a baby no matter how many times I have watched it. Such a wonderful classic movie...and its theme of family, overcoming injustice, adolescence and childhood is timeless.
I still can't watch this without crying. One of the most moving scenes in any film. And I'm a 60 year old bloke not prone to tears!
Me too..she pours more emotion into those three words than most actors do in a lifetime. Wonderful scene, gets me every time 😢
God, the minute she’s says ‘daddy, my daddy’ I just burst into uncontrollable tears! Hits me so hard
My dad died not long after this was made and I know that my poor mum had a thing about Iain Cuthbertson. The two things must be related.
I imagine me meeting my Dad in Heaven.....
It’s a wonderful film and this scene is one of the most moving moment in cinema history. Always chokes me up.
Me too
It's a beautiful scene and makes me cry every time I watch it. When my lovely Daddy was still with us I cried and now he has died 24 years ago I still cry. Memories and love never die. I was very lucky to have such a wonderful father 😂❤❤❤❤
This film is a model for all the positive human qualities and emotions. Kindness, love, respect. It makes me sad to think how we as a society have gone backwards culturally over the last few decades. For sure, it greatly romanticises the past, but that takes nothing away from its power to move people who watch it. I don’t think a film like it could be made these days.
I thought the very same thing watching it last night. The selflessness of the characters and the importance of looking out for one another is sooo touching
Seen this scene a thousand times and it's made my cry every single time! It starts when the steam arrives.
Even at 54 this absolutely pulls at your heartstrings, what an emotional rollercoaster, just a brilliantly acted film 👍
I am 52, because I was born round the time the film was made. You must be the same age as my brother Anthony!
@@angelacooper2661
Born in 1967 , 55 just turned now , and still one of my favourite films along with Mr Blunden about kids going back in time to save a brother and sister from death in a fire …….
If I’ve got the name of the film wrong maybe you can correct me ……
A very moving and uplifting film
Thank you, Jenny that was a great performance. Iconic British movie.
My mum died almost a year ago I like to think this is what it will be like when we see each other again in the next world.

Such a poignant and stirring scene. So beautiful a reunion of a separated daughter with her beloved father
Gets me every time this scene, simply beautiful.
Whatever mood you’re in, this is instant cry material
My Dad absolutely loved this film, and particularly this scene. I used to play the theme tune on the Piano and Dad loved it so much. Sadly Dad passed away this year in October 2020, but we had the theme tune from ‘The Railway Children’ at the end of Dad’s funeral service. This scene always made me cry, and will do so in future more than ever.
God that's a beautiful story Sue. Love to you!
@@donnyskinglongliveme Thank you so much, Love to you also, and I hope you have a happy and healthy Christmas. x
I’m so sorry for your loss!
@@sashaking1115 Bless you Sasha, thank you so much for your kind words. It's been 15 months since Dad passed away from Vascular Dementia, but I still miss him so much. I know it sounds nuts, but I often speak to his photo to tell him what's going on in my life. I know he cannot hear me, but doing so is very cathartic. My Mum is still alive, and misses Dad desperately, they met as teenagers - but they loved each other so much, married in 1957 and gave my brother and I very happy childhoods and family life. My brother and I both speak to Mum every day, and visit regularly. Thank you again for your kind words.
@@suehill9679 no problem at all! It’s not mad to talk to your dad’s photo, not in the slightest. I’d do the same thing! I hope you’re doing all right xxx❤️❤️❤️❤️
When my first marriage ended many years ago I moved in with my parents. Without going into too much detail It was an incredibly difficult time but I had been quite strong. I had the sit-down talk to the children, even though It wasn't me that wanted to end it. In order not to upset them I moved into my parents house while they were at school. On that first night away from home my parents went out for the evening and I found myself watching this film for the very first time. I was ok until the ending and then I just let go. I still find it difficult to watch. Wonderful film
This scene gets me every time. 😭😭😭😭😭😭👍❤👍
this is my favourite British film of all time and this scene gets me every time. even just watching this short clip the tears come. Jenny Agutter and i are the same age. i have always found her to be a most attractive lady. i still can't believe how much steam that train gave out, it must have known she was waiting to see her father
The end of this always makes me cry.
I love this film, it's one of my absolute favourites. ❤
I lost my dad 10 years ago, and I hope if there is something beyond this life, I will get to experience this if and when we reunite.
Me too mate👍
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this scene without sobbing my heart out. The build up to it, the way the scene was shot, the way Jenny Agutter played it, is just so moving every time. I can still remember the first time I saw the scene again after my father died. I broke my heart, but it’s always made me cry because it’s such a powerful scene and it’s performed beautifully. The funny thing is that I honestly think the viewer knows all along she’s going to see her father at the station, but it doesn’t spoil the magic of the scene.
Bobbie is just staring into the fog then she turns around, "daddy, my daddy!" very heartfelt
We're in 2023 and this film is in my top three films of all time !
Oh my God.......this still gets me every time. I'm 60 now and I've seen the film a number of times but this scene........I'm done!
When I watch back on this classic movie, I see all the complete innocence of it. When I look at our country now, it's so sad how it has fallen, the innocence has been ripped away. The Railway Children & others from that time enable me to capture at least a small part of that innocence.
You here during the riots...gutting
RIP Bernard Cribbins, and thanks for the great memories!
I was crying before it started playing. God, I miss my dad.
@Batphink Reynolds thank you xx
Me too 👴🏼
Me too xx
I love Jenny Agutter and like everyone else this scene gets me every time . Love it 😍
Men are officially allowed to blub at this. And her smile at the start - utterly melting...
Thanks for the free pass. I'm not an emotional man but even thinking about this scene gets me bubbling.
My God. What a wonderful world before post modern cynism strove to destroy emotion at a simple stimulus. Thank God, I still go every time!
I never really knew my father, so I can’t watch this without blubbing
Yes this whole films makes me think how much society has gone backwards over the last few decades. Very sad.
@@Coneman3 Agree
I have seen this film so many times, this scene got my every one of those times and will keep doing so, superb!
This scene always makes my dad cry!
Lovely scene, RIP Bernard, and great Music by Johnny Douglas.
A lady once told me that the Cornish station I used to work on before retirement reminded her of the railway children! I met quite a few famous persons while there , but one regret was not meeting the lovely Jenny, who I'd heard lived in Falmouth, but I couldn't be sure. I'm not ashamed to admit that every single time I see this extremely touching scene my heart melts & I weep with overwhelming emotion. I defy anyone with a soft heart not to! Sorry to hear about Bernard Cribbins too.
I’m an old cynic most of the time but this movie turns me into a believer in everything good. It’s just perfect.
Yep I have tears in my eyes just from this clip. Gets me every time
The only film scene that turns me I to a gibbering wreck....😭
This makes my father cry every time! It tugs at my heartstrings too, it’s such a brilliant scene❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
beautiful old days
God, this just kills me every time. Other films I'm a rock, but not this.
Rest in peace Bernard Cribbens
I've got something in my eye.
To me this is the best scene in any film ever
I am choking up again watching this and I am 63, love this film, Jenny Agutter was so lovely.
We will miss you, Perks
I watched this at school:)Everyone cried when they found their father🥹
when this is on TV its ok...right up to the point when this scene comes on....then I leave the room...
All this and Bernard Cribbins too. It doesn’t get any better
How can one not cry with a scene like that?
I'm not crying, you are!!
There's a subtle piece of writing in this scene which makes all the difference, it's 'Daddy, MY Daddy', if the word 'my' had been omitted it would have hit as hard X
Absolutely spot on observation. Also the echo of her voice is really important. I unravel every time
Wonderful, I cry every time ❤️
Me too! Love EVERYTHING about this film...so glad this clip is available whenever I need to give in to my emotions
This was on the box at Xmas 2014. I was at my nan’s and she didn’t have long left at the time. She passed in September next year. I was at my man’s at the time and she hated to see me in bits at this scene.
Everytime I watch it I cry
im iranian they used to show this show back in late 90s early 2000s i was kid back then used to love watching it never remembered that their father actually returend
And every Daddy with daughters suddenly smells onions. 😪
This was my childhood . I waited for my Pa on the stream town - I read the Railway Children and Little
Women
My favourite childhood series, this scene, 😢.
Cry every time
I always cry at the end its such a touching story
And Lionel Jeffries deserves a mention. Most of his career was as an actor, and he didn't do a great deal of directing - this might even be his first film as a director? But the direction of this scene is note-perfect. The initial double-bluff that Daddy might not be there, the clearing of the smoke to reveal him, the echo on the overdubbed 'Daddy, my Daddy!' line, the tiny shot of her feet being lifted off the ground, the brief freeze-frame - it's a masterclass.
Absolutely. Lionel Jefferies deserves considerable credit for masterminding one of the most beautiful and emotional scenes in movie history, and that is no understatement.
1:00 "right away mr cryer"
10 pts to the person who can tell me the story behind that
It’s Bob Cryer, the Labour MP and one of the founders of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, where the film was made and who had an uncredited role as the train guard.
Just watched this in tribute to Bernard Cribbins. RIP splendid actor.
Interesting that Jenny starred as the mom in the 2000 version.
It was not a patch on the 1970 version. I l switched off after 10 mins.
I was born around the time of the original film, so would have turned thirty when the sequel came out. Never saw the latter!
Love From Mountaion Village of Nepal. Nice Video.
Love this film.🌕🌖🌒
Bernsrd cribbins RIP❤
Some girls never got their Daddy back!
This makes me more emotional than Titanic.
The fact a sniper has his target set on Miss Agutter at 1:12 only adds another layer of suspense.
somebody's recorded/video'd this off a tv screen and it's the camera 'on' light, that's all
@@JonEngland It's my understanding they edited the scene in the final film because the assassination was considered too violent for family audiences at the time.
@@davidlrattigan of course they did David. There there.
🤣 i wondered what it was too.
Wonderful
All that and Charlie Endell as the Daddy!
jenny is 17 here and her younger sister in the film was 23 in real life
Rest in peace ☮️ ✌️ Bernard Cribbins. He had a long history of life. The man 👨 has a moustache on his face. Dinah Sheridan also had died. Daddy was put away on business 👩💼 and didn’t do anything wrong 😑. Poor man 👨. He was saved. 👍
Charlie Endell never got this sort of welcome in Budgie.
😭👍👏
Fillin up.
Jenny so beautiful 😍
😭
right away mr cryer
I don't remember the sniper laser sight in the original.
So the men went off to war. But what did the mothers do after shipping their children to the countryside? It must have been horrific.
It wasn’t the war in this case though - falsely accused of a crime.
ODaddy my Daddy.
A J50 😍
Great film
Don't touch this film great film simple story . And great characters development .
Railway children brilliant .
Relax.
No Warts, Know Pieces.
Make a remake of it .
But make it good!
Stupid dumb ass Snowflake generation. Make your own movies.
Khalid Muhammad oh no,best left As it now. BEAUTIFUL! Remakes often don't work too well.
Do NOT make a remake of it as 99% of remakes of classic films are invariably shit.
Khalid Muhammad They did. Jenny Agutter played the mother. In this scene the line became MY DADDY MY DADDY. Still sweet, but nothing matches the magic dust which Lionel Jeffries sprinkled on this scene. Even the music makes you wish you weren’t peeling onions.
This shouldn't be up - Take it down Pls
Movie starts and deus ex machina father disappears. Movie ends and deus ex machina, father reappears. In between, an hour of zero plot development, zero character development and zero exposition; just purposeless sketches to fill up the time. How did this film ever get made?
Maybe that’s how things are viewed on the Planet Vulcan. Here on Earth we have these things called feelings. This film, far more than many cleverer films, has the capacity to genuinely move people. We may enjoy and respect clever, intellectual films. But films that move us, we love. And here’s the paradox, it’s one of the hardest things for a film to do.
If you can’t appreciate this film, that’s your loss.
For many earthlings, however, it’s a rare treasure and we cherish it.
Oh, and it’s not deux ex machina (though I do understand that’s a temptingly impressive phrase to use.) As I recall, (and it’s been some time since I’ve seen this film) the father is wrongly implicated in some nefarious dealings. This leads to the children and their mother’s changed circumstances. This in turn leads the children save the life of a young boy related to the old gentleman whom they’ve befriended. The old gentleman takes up the father’s case and this leads to the father being released. Nothing remotely deux ex machina about it. Not only are the events causally connected, there’s also a moral thread running through the events. The children’s good deeds are repaid by the return of their father.
@@harryselwind It most certainly is deus ex machina. The police simply turn up and take him away. Effectively, one moment he is there, and the next he isn't.
@@donepearce Deux ex machina is typically a gratuitous means to solve a problem and provide a resolution.
The father’s arrest is the exact opposite of that. It is part of the set up and creates the problem than needs to be resolved.
If you extend deux ex machina to set-ups like this, it’s going to apply to many, perhaps most films (and will end up being a meaningless and redundant term.) Here’s an example. Generally acknowledged as having one of the best screenplays ever, the set-up for Witness is grounded on the young boy just happening to be in the men’s room when a murder is committed. It’s pure coincidence and utterly gratuitous. But it doesn’t matter. It’s part of the set-up. No one, as far as I am aware, has ever accused this of being an example of deux ex machina. The father’s problems at the beginning of The Railway Children are exactly the same.
Look, if you don’t like The Railway Children that’s your prerogative. But don’t trash it on that account with some fatuous criticisms that don’t bear analysis.
@@harryselwind Nothing fatuous in my comments. They are considered and pertinent. If you don't like them, that is your prerogative but don't try to deny me my observations.
At 1:57 it looks like they are french kissing to me. That's disgusting, a man of his age, french kissing his own daughter.
Go away, troll. You interest only your own pathetic little self.
nonsense. he kisses her on both cheeks
