'Grimethorpe: A Pit Village'
I caught a bit of the excellent Brassed Off on More4 over a week ago, a film which I'm no stranger to having seen it on countless occasions.
Doing a random search on YouTube, I found this documentary on Grimethorpe village, a former mining village between South Elmsall and Barnsley reeling from the closure of its pit even now.
It is a collection of eyewitness accounts and archive film on the colliery since the Miners' Strike with footage between 1984 and 1995. There is a wealth of footage on the village which - thanks to the Tories - has changed again since initial filming.
If you're familiar with Mark Herman's excellent film starring the late great Pete Postlethwaite, this documentary is well worth watching. On watching this, you will have noticed how much research was done during the making of Brassed Off, in both film and stage forms.
