In the days before jumbo juggernauts, express coaches and motorway madness, there used to be a saner, altogether more pleasant way to travel - by steam train. The Somerset and Dorset railway linked Bournemouth with Bath and the north of England. Despite its nickname, 'Slow and Dirty', the S and D was a much-loved holiday route to the seaside. Now it's all gone, buried under bypasses and housing estates. But it's not forgotten. Twenty years after it closed rail enthusiast Mike Arlett brought together its two most celebrated enginemen, driver Donald Beale and his fireman
Peter Smith , to re-live their own golden age of steam. Film cameraman CLIVE NORTH Film editor JO PAYNE
Producer ANDREW JOHNSTON

The Old Gringo
Carlos Fuentes , the Mexican novelist, the author of the acclaimed Terra Nostra and The Death of Artemio Cruz is one of the Latin American authors who has brought 'magical realism' to the notice of the world. Surreal, comic and horrific, his books deal with the powerful and the dispossessed of his native land in a world in which past, present and future blend together in the hands of the narrator. In tonight's special edition of Bookmark he talks about The Old Gringo, his new novel, already a bestseller in the US, in which he traces the fortunes of an old American journalist who crosses the border into
Mexico. The novel is set in 1914 at the time of Pancho Villar's revolution, and Fuentes's hero, the old gringo of the title, has come to die ... 'to be a gringo in Mexico ... ah that is euthanasia ...' Director ARDAN FISHER
