On Top. Thousands of boys went straight from school into the pits. Now they are men with families and they have lost their jobs. The second in this series observing the plight of the Nottinghamshire miners as the pits close follows several of them as they struggle to find work after redundancy. British Coal has set up a company to prepare them for the job market, and the UDM joins a venture to make use of mine sites.
