The weekly arts magazine presented by James Mossman

Rugby League, Bingo... and a poet or two
Castleford is a mining town in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Known to most Saturday viewers for its Cup-winning Rugby League team, Review pays it a visit to look at its other activities. Yorkshire people traditionally work hard and play hard. The film looks at their doing both at this time when many of their traditions are being questioned.

Afterwards playwright David Mercer ('My auntie lives under the railway bridge at Castleford') will be talking with fellow Yorkshireman David Halliwell about what it means to be a Northerner.
