1918-1939
In a series of 13 programmes James Cameron reflects two decades which are both history and living memory.
5: One Battle Lost By Everybody Right in the middle of Stanley Baldwin 's 1926 sunshine a terrible shadow crossed the country. This was black indeed: the colour of coal. Was it a shadow that would pass?
JAMES CAMERON finds some of the answers from the miners and their leaders whose cause prompted a General Strike; from those who never saw the shadow and charlestoned their way through the year; from those who had fun driving trains for nine days: from Reith declaring his independence and from Dame Nellie Melba declaring her emotional farewell; and from a 15-year-old who became the first person to be televised.
