Episode notes

This month the iconic film ‘Sliding Doors’ is 27th years old! We have delved into the archives to re-release our SD25 documentary for it’s 2 year anniversary!


Sliding Doors 25, in partnership with TfL, is a four-part series that delves into the iconic film’s backstory. Speaking with cast and crew about their very own ‘Sliding Doors’ moments alongside a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this iconic 90s movie classic, 25 years after its release.


In this episode of Sliding Doors 25 we delve into where the film’s idea came from - in a Sliding Doors moment writer and director Peter Howitt had, that planted the whole seed. We chat to the cast and crew including John Hannah and Jeanne Tripplehorn about the casting and early days of making the film…and discuss how the whole film nearly wasn’t made and had its own Sliding Doors moment! We also chat to TfL about the making of the movie and filming on the underground and of course some BTS audio footage from the set of the film!
