Current affairs stories from the West. Josie d'Arby investigates a north Somerset zoo that has been keeping a big secret. Adam Hart-Davis tells the story of the giant Bristol Brabazon airliner, 60 years on from its maiden flight. He tracks down some of the engineers who worked on her and discovers remnants of the ill-fated aircraft hidden away in a museum storeroom. Alastair McKee is also in Somerset to take part in one of the UK's largest scything competitions. It is not a sport one will see at the Olympic Games but the competition is every bit as fierce.
