Ceptic Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 "The Somerset & Dorset Railway" , by Dave Rogers, Andy Warren & Chris Warren from 1st. Take http://www.1st-take.com Produced in association with The Somerset & Dorset Railway Heritage Trust and The Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust. Ninety minutes of pure nostalgia. This documentary describes the line's beginnings, it's heyday, and demise, using documents, maps, photos, equipment, etc; interspersed with film clips, B&W and colour, taken, mostly, in the line's latter days. The Presenter visits, and films, the majority, if not all, of what remains of the historical locations. The bonuses, are the interviews with the remaining staff, who worked the S'n D.... One big happy family, by all accounts. All in all, a well rounded piece of armchair viewing, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Nevard Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 In response to this post I ordered a copy. 90mins of very interesting and well researched viewing. A proper production too, more in keeping from a pukka broadcaster than 'shaky uncle Frank and his home video camera type production' so typical of many enthusiast sell-through DVDs. Highly recommended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
