When Dr Beeching took his axe to the rural railway network few cuts were as savage, or as deeply resented, as that of the entire Somerset and Dorset system. Its staff took great pride in working this steeply graded line over the Mendip Hills and a strong sense of family loyalty existed. Before it was all swept away in 1966, Bath enthusiast Ivo Peters recorded the railway on film. Film camera CLIVE NORTH Film editor RICHARD BUSS
Assistant producer DAVID KITSON Director ANDREW JOHNSTON

The cool, combative, macho style of the military pilot has been dubbed in book and film 'the right stuff'. But when that behaviour ends up in a commercial cockpit it's a positive menace to safety - it's 'the wrong stuff'! Commercial aviation is safer than crossing the road, but when accidents do happen it's rarely the fault of the plane.
Eighty per cent of all crashes are caused by 'human error'. Finding out what that means in terms of human behaviour has been called the last great frontier in aviation safety. "Horizon" goes behind the closed door of the airline cockpit into a very private workplace - to find out what goes wrong there and how to put it right.
