A friend of mine has just told me that she's being sent a DVD copy of a documentary about Jack Elliott. That's north east England Jack Elliott BTW, not Rambling Jack Elliott.

The documentary is called Death of a Miner, and I feel sure this must be a copy of the classic BBC programme which Philip Donnellan made of Jack in the 1960s. Naturally I'm as excited as hell about the prospect of being able to see it again after all these years. Can anyone remember whether this actually was the title of the Donnellan programme?
