Overview
Ken Russell revisits the location of his 1960 documentary about coal mining in Northumberland and catches up with some of the people who appeared in the film. In 2005, the last of the deep mines was closed down. As the remnants of a once-proud industry was about to disappear, Ken returned to Northumberland to meet the men and women he filmed almost half a century earlier.
