Let's take look at some local stories coming in this weekend:
Who You Gonna Call?
Staff at the Langport Arms didn't know who to call first on a day last week, a plumber or an exorcist.
A large ceramic sink was found pulled off the wall in a room on Friday morning.
"We were going to get the vicar in to have a word with the resident ghosts" said manager Debbie Fawlty, "but then we remembered that room isn't haunted so we just booked a plumber instead."
But she denied rumours a crate of frozen kippers and an inflatable town councillor were also found in the room.
"Absolutely not!" she said, "that was the week before"

What's On The Box?
Langport TV has unveiled a handful of new shows for its spring season.
They include a weekly countdown show on the state of our local roads, Top of the Pots will go out every Thursday.
A new Bow Street-based weekly quiz show is also on the way, 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' will be on Sunday evenings.
It's also been confirmed there'll be a brand new series of the Cartgate Picnic Area sitcom Are You Being Perved? which keeps it's regular slot on Friday nights.

What's On At Your Local Pub?
Well, one of them anyway.
One of our roving reporters was out and about in Aller last night and popped in to the Old Pound Inn for a few.
While there he asked a local lad if the pub had any events on the calender.
"Look behind you mate" was the prompt reply:

Fun For All The Family
With many local roads flooded, hundreds of acres of farmland underwater and rivers still bursting their banks - the Environment Agency says it's expecting to see Burnham-on-Sea pier coming down the Parrett again early next week.
You can get on at Bow Bridge on Tuesday morning with a return ticket now costing just £15.

And Finally
Weekend Gentrification Report:
CCTV footage has emerged of a woman being bundled in to the back of an unmarked van at Castle Cary railway station.
It's reported she wasn't even wearing a Barbour jacket or carrying a Mulberry handbag but was approaching newtly newly arrived passengers and handing out leaflets advertising other things to see in the area.
The included Wells Cathedral, Glastonbury Tor, Ham Hill Country Park, the Somerset Levels, Muchelney Abbey, Sherborne Abbey, Montacute House, Barrington Court, the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Haynes Motor Museum and countless visitor-friendly cider farm venues.
An eyewitness standing on the platform on the phone taking out a bank loan for a coffee and croissant, told Carry On Langport 4 men in white coats took her away in the van at around 4 o'clock on Thursday
She was then spotted out shopping a day later in a passive compliant state saying that everything was "just fine"
There are no further details.
