We sat down and watched it earlier - and we agreed, it's a fascinating tale, of a quirky branch line which spent most of its time (over 30 years!) in receivership, but provided a much loved service between those three Somerset towns between 1897 and 1940. It had 19 stations over its 14 mile length - most of them just huts at level crossings! I recommend this DVD to anyone with an interest in the good old days of the light railway branch lines.
