A series of six films
The jobs, jokes, relationships, responsibilities and shared experiences that have moulded the communities of the English nation have left them looking remarkably different from each other.
5: Ashington, Northumberland
The Ashington band leads the parade for the miners' 'Picnic Day' at Bedlington. Folk memory says it's always been like this, but the beginnings of Ashington are within living memory-old men remember how a hamlet grew into the biggest mining village in Europe as quarrymen, black-smiths, starving Irish and even sons of Border reavers poured in. Brian Trueman meets some of their descendants, like Sam Scott , now Secretary of the Northumberland Miners.

for the BBC2 Trophy Salford v St Helens
This all-Lancashire clash is one of the glamour ties of the BBC2 floodlit competition.
Salford have an array of stars, including internationals David Wat kins and Steve Nash , and a new coach, Alex Murphy. So far this season they haven't quite knitted together, but they have had injury problems.
St Helens, winners of the BBC2 Trophy in 1971 and 1975 and beaten finalists last season, will be out to regain the trophy this year and will be extremely tough opposition for the stars of Salford. Commentator EDDIE WARING
