This is a film about the remarkable growth of the Kent coalfield. In the late 20s and early 30s lots of miners from Northumberland and Durham went down to Kent and they still maintain the traditions of the North East among the hopfields. Their voices are unmistakably Geordie. Producer JOHN MAPPLEBECK

Zdena Tomin -
Nationality Uncertain
A room in East London that remained locked for 30 years ...

A series of 13 programmes which tell the story of the theatre from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Written and presented by Ronald Harwood
8: Silk Stockings and White Bosoms
After the Civil War and years of repression the theatre returns to its place in English society, but with bawdy, exuberant energy and unaccustomed freedom - another golden age known simply as the Restoration. It was a truly exciting time of new theatres, robust audiences and brilliant plays, by both men and women, which scrutinised society with anarchic wit and satire-a style which has come to be called the Comedy of Manners. The Restoration also gave the English theatre actresses (women playing women for the first time on the stage) and a new creature regarded by theatre people ever since with caution, even hatred - the critic.
Those taking part include: Edward Hardwicke Sara Kestelman
Ronald Pickup , Ciaran Madden
Michael Hordern , John Standing Anthony Bate and Judith Paris.
