Series 13 Episode 2: When Coal Was KingExploring the lost world of coal mining and the extraordinarily rich social and cultural lives of those who worked in what was once Britain's most important industry. It's a story told through a largely forgotten film archive that movingly documents the final years of coal's heyday, from the 1940s to the 1980s. One priceless piece of footage features a ballet performance by tutu-wearing colliers.
