Quest fans 'obsessed' with Grand Tour star's hidden gem new show streaming soon
The Francis Bourgeois show is a must-see.
A hidden gem is set to stream soon on Quest. We Saved a Train, featuring Grand Tour and train enthusiast Francis Bourgeois, is set to hit the service just next month.
He will be joined by journalist Chris Harris in an eight-part series as they embark on the toughest project that Francis has ever faced - fulfilling a lifelong dream of restoring a train and taking on the job of getting the wrecked engine back in action. Chris will bring his expertise, enthusiasm, and no-nonsense approach to help Francis navigate the technical and logistical challenges of restoring a locomotive from scratch. Ahead of the show's release, Francis Bourgeois said: "Getting the chance to restore a locomotive is something I have always dreamt about, so the opportunity to actually make it happen, and document the journey, is so exciting. I cannot wait to start this alongside Chris."

Chris said: "I have no idea what we are letting ourselves in for, but I am so excited for it. It is not every day you get asked to help restore a locomotive, I can’t wait to see where this will take us."
Tom O’Brien, Managing Director of Naked, added: "We Saved a Train blends the highs, lows and laughs of a buddy movie with a tenderly and lovingly committed railway restoration process.
"We will do all we can to make it a standout series and we are really thrilled to be working with the WBD team in the UK on our first big project together."
Fans of the train enthusiast host can't wait to tune in. Posting to X/Twitter, one person wrote: "I see that lovable train nerd (well, granddaughters thought he was cute on TikTok) Francis Bourgeois, has parlayed his gracing into a multi-part TV series."
Another declared: "I am obsessed with Francis Bourgeois."
While a third penned: "Chris Harris has done some projects with Francis Bourgeois and they’re good. He brings a wonderful energy."
And one more added: "This Chris Harris and Francis Bourgeois collab is the video the internet never knew it needed. Incredible!"
