Rain Dog	BBC4 - Timeshift:When Coal Was King (15)	BBC4 - Timeshift:When Coal Was King	05 Nov 13
On BBC4 last night and showing again on Thurs 7th Nov at 23.05. Also available on the BBCiplayer When Coal Was King Duration: 1 hour Timeshift explores 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. Featuring contributions from those who worked underground, those who lived in the pit villages, those who filmed them at work and at play and those - like Billy Elliot writer Lee Hall - who have been inspired by what made coalfield culture so unique. Narrated by Christopher Eccleston Has a section on A L Lloyd and also features clips of Ewan MacColl, as well as sound clips of other singers. When Coal Was King
