... of documentary.

Miners. Hard men, close-knit, independent, aristocrats in the industrial pay league, and union men from cradle to grave. And yet the tastes and habits, attitudes and aspirations in Britain's coalfields have undergone subtle changes. This portrait of today's miner, at work and at leisure, is set in one of the enclosed communities that huddle around Barnsley in South Yorkshire.

Even here, in the heart of Arthur Scargill country, there was a marked dwindling of enthusiasm for strike action when the votes were counted earlier this month. So the industrial peace that broke out in the coalfields eight years ago remains intact, despite the annual flexing of muscles.

First transmitted in 1982, this poignant documentary evokes the vanished world of life in a Yorkshire mining community. Show more
