At one point when our son was four, almost five, he loved Slow TV, in particular the 7 hour train journey. (We are in Australia so watching it on Netflix.) We'd just put it on for him and he'd play with it on in the background. It is far less annoying than some of the other things he wants to watch (e.g. Commander Keen playthroughs on YouTube). (But, since then, he has kind of lost interest in trains, so it hasn't been on for a few months now.)

This was a neat story. Thanks for sharing :)

Ideal place for Test cricket ! For those who do not know it is a sport played over 5 days , 7 hours of play each day.

You forgot to mention that is a time limit so that matches don’t drag on too long...
