Man vs. Baby (2024) is a warm, chaotic, and very funny parenting comedy that follows a new dad stumbling his way through fatherhood with equal parts love, panic, and sheer improvisation.
Epping Ongar Railway doubled as two different train stations; the ext and int ticket office played as Tring Railway Station as the main character rushed to London with baby, and the waiting room/platform side was an unnamed Scottish train station that was covered in snow, causing trains to be cancelled.
A house on Castle Street in Chipping Ongar was also used for the character whose baby, the main character thought he had, but turned out he didn’t!
