Under the Forest of Dean there is coal, and certain men have the right to mine it. It is an ancient privilege, continued in spite of nationalisation. The mines are tiny-one man working underground by and for himself is common, ten is a large mine.
But the miners feel under attack at the moment. They have always exercised their rights to mine under the old laws and suddenly, they're being pulled into the world of planning regulations, enquiries and the Ministry of the Environment. As they say themselves: 'We are the environment in the Forest - if we go, so does its history.'

This week: Rodeo
American history doesn't go back very far - at least for the white man. It was only 100 years ago that the West was tamed, and the heroes of the legends are still with us - the buffaloes, the broncos, the Indians and the cowboys.

This is a story from the most famous legend of all, the Wild West; the story of a part Indian, part Canadian cowboy - Kenny McLean, the most successful cowboy Canada has ever bred. Kenny McLean is as famous for busting broncos, wrestling steers and roping calves as Bobby Charlton is for scoring goals and Geoff Boycott is for scoring centuries. In 13 years of risking his life in the rodeo ring Kenny McLean has earned $100,000 - not much more than Jack Nicklaus might hope to win for four afternoons' golf - but enough to make him a legend in his own lifetime.
