Roots of England

on BBC Two England

A series of six films about English communities 3: The Black Country
As the hand chainmaker - man or woman-becomes a thing of the past, there's still pride in application to the metal trades which have always been the basic occupation. Brian Trueman looks at the market place and the chain-shop, the Ragged School and a Black Country night out, but it's in the Staffordshire bull terrier that he finds a reflection of the Black Country man himself.
