The Big Flame

on BBC One London

A play by Jim Allen
with Norman Rossington as Danny Flower
and Godfrey Quigley as Jack Regan

Industrial relations as they all too often are. This remarkable Play was made in Liverpool dock-land by Ken Loach and Tony Garnett. On one side 10,000 men simmer on the brink of unofficial strike; ranged against them are their employers, the Government and even their own Trade Unions.

"Joe Hill" sung by Rick Jones
