1
00:03:11,208 --> 00:03:12,875
A few days, you say.
2
00:03:13,750 --> 00:03:15,917
Not what l'd caII a light traveIIer
are you, pet?
3
00:03:16,125 --> 00:03:18,333
Sorry, it's mainIy work.
4
00:03:19,042 --> 00:03:22,042
l wouIdn't apologise for having work,
flower. Not round here.
5
00:03:25,417 --> 00:03:26,833
What's this then?
6
00:03:27,375 --> 00:03:29,583
It's just a flugeI, a trumpet.
7
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:31,583
l thought I might get
some practice in.
8
00:03:31,750 --> 00:03:32,917
In here, you mean?
9
00:03:33,083 --> 00:03:36,833
-Well, wherever.
-I wouldn't mind. Don't get me wrong.
10
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,792
There's nowt l'd like better than
to hear you pIaying all night long.
11
00:03:40,958 --> 00:03:43,333
-Oh, no. lt wouldn't ...
-You heard of Grimley Colliery Band?
12
00:03:44,125 --> 00:03:45,750
Yes, I have.
13
00:03:46,042 --> 00:03:49,333
They've their own practice haII.
I should get myseIf down there, pet.
14
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,208
They'd weIcome someone like you
with open arms, knowing them.
15
00:04:05,667 --> 00:04:06,875
Another?
16
00:04:08,458 --> 00:04:12,125
lt's a sad oId day, isn't it Vi?
When it's finaIIy come to this.
17
00:04:12,292 --> 00:04:16,375
-What's that then Ida?
-Jim and Ernie packing in the band.
18
00:04:17,417 --> 00:04:19,333
They're doing it, then?
For definite?
19
00:04:19,625 --> 00:04:24,167
Last practice tonight, Ernie said.
Then resigning after.
20
00:04:24,792 --> 00:04:28,708
No point in carrying on, is there?
Pit goes, band'll go t'same way.
21
00:04:30,125 --> 00:04:33,208
I feeI sorry for oId Danny, mind.
He'lI gave bugger all to do.
22
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,333
-We'lI all have bugger all to do, Vi.
-You get used to it.
23
00:05:10,250 --> 00:05:12,125
-All right, Iove?
-Aye, all right.
24
00:05:18,750 --> 00:05:20,708
Don't forget what you're doing,
you Iads.
25
00:05:20,875 --> 00:05:22,417
Don't be handing over any
kitty money.
26
00:05:23,083 --> 00:05:25,417
-Just resignations.
-Aye, all right, pet.
27
00:05:25,583 --> 00:05:27,667
-WeII, mind you do.
-What do you mean "mind you do"?
28
00:05:27,833 --> 00:05:30,583
-It was our decision, wasn't it love?
-Aye, well...
29
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:33,042
just mind you do.
30
00:05:37,125 --> 00:05:38,917
Now let's get this right, Ernie.
31
00:05:39,292 --> 00:05:42,625
When he collects for t'kitty,
we say: sorry Danny, but us two...
32
00:05:42,792 --> 00:05:44,667
we've decided,
in t'present cIimate...
33
00:05:44,833 --> 00:05:48,625
to tighten our belts, Iike, and onIy
spend money on essentiaI items.
34
00:05:48,792 --> 00:05:50,917
Sorry. lt's been
good and all that...
35
00:05:51,083 --> 00:05:55,375
but now, we don't regard band as one
of t'aforementioned essentiaI items.
36
00:05:55,542 --> 00:05:58,833
And regretfuIIy, we feel obliged
to tender our resignations forthwith.
37
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,583
-Right?
-Right.
38
00:06:01,958 --> 00:06:04,000
And then we wake
up in CasuaIty.
39
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:16,583
If he goes barmy, it's not
our fauIt.
40
00:06:17,583 --> 00:06:20,417
-l mean what's t'worst he can do?
-Have a heart attack?
41
00:06:20,583 --> 00:06:23,708
What the hell, if Danny
doesn't like it...
42
00:06:23,875 --> 00:06:25,417
-boIIocks to him.
-All right, Iads?
43
00:06:25,583 --> 00:06:27,458
Oh, all right, Danny mate?
44
00:06:29,458 --> 00:06:33,000
Sixty years between us, you and me,
down t'pit, frightened of nowt.
45
00:06:34,167 --> 00:06:36,708
When it comes to telling Danny-boy
we're packing t'band in...
46
00:06:37,375 --> 00:06:39,250
We're shitting bloody bricks.
47
00:06:43,750 --> 00:06:45,417
and coming up later in the news...
48
00:06:45,583 --> 00:06:49,750
continuing our regular reports on the
Government's pit closure programme.
49
00:06:49,917 --> 00:06:51,417
We visit Grimley CoIIiery...
50
00:06:51,583 --> 00:06:55,792
which despite being one of the oIdest
and Iargest mines in Yorkshire...
51
00:06:55,958 --> 00:06:59,833
has nevertheless become the most
recent candidate for closure.
52
00:07:00,667 --> 00:07:04,375
AIthough the GrimIey miners, and
their wives, seem very determined...
53
00:07:04,542 --> 00:07:06,875
to fight on and keep
their pit open...
54
00:07:07,042 --> 00:07:10,542
a redundancy offer to the workforce
is believed to be imminent.
55
00:07:11,708 --> 00:07:15,125
The miners, united,
will never be defeated.
56
00:07:15,292 --> 00:07:19,208
The miners, united,
will never be defeated.
57
00:07:19,375 --> 00:07:25,083
Offers at neighbouring pits recently,
have been too attractive to ignore.
58
00:07:25,333 --> 00:07:30,208
ln the last few weeks, 7 pay-off
packages have been offered to 7 pits.
59
00:07:30,375 --> 00:07:33,292
All accepted,
leading to 7 cIosures.
60
00:07:33,458 --> 00:07:35,792
TroubIe is, I'm no bIoody happier
when I'm winning.
61
00:07:36,667 --> 00:07:38,000
DoubIe or quits?
62
00:07:38,292 --> 00:07:40,542
No, best not.
lt's kitty night tonight.
63
00:07:42,042 --> 00:07:44,208
Cheer up Andy.
lt might never happen.
64
00:07:44,375 --> 00:07:46,667
Representatives of union
and management...
65
00:07:46,833 --> 00:07:51,042
meet tonight to discuss the
Grimley redundancy offer.
66
00:07:51,208 --> 00:07:52,500
Bloody going
to though, in't it?
67
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,833
-See you.
-See you.
68
00:07:57,083 --> 00:07:58,875
Don't be a
piIIock all your Iife.
69
00:07:59,042 --> 00:08:01,083
Take t'money
while it's stiII on offer.
70
00:08:01,250 --> 00:08:05,542
A lot of foIk out there wouldn't Iike
to hearthe way you're talking, love.
71
00:08:05,708 --> 00:08:08,333
Aye, and they're alI as daft
as you are.
72
00:08:08,708 --> 00:08:11,333
AlI end up with nowt.
Just Iike us.
73
00:08:12,208 --> 00:08:13,292
Philip.
74
00:08:16,667 --> 00:08:18,375
Late for practice.
75
00:08:18,917 --> 00:08:22,083
-We'll taIk about it later, eh?
-Later?
76
00:08:22,792 --> 00:08:26,292
You'lI stiII be saying Iater when
We're out on't bloody street.
77
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:30,542
There's always Mr Chuckles.
78
00:08:31,750 --> 00:08:34,125
-I can do more of that.
-Phil?
79
00:08:34,375 --> 00:08:36,208
PhiI, PhiI.
80
00:08:36,708 --> 00:08:40,750
You have a wife and 4 bloody kids
here, a house nobody'll bIoody buy...
81
00:08:40,917 --> 00:08:43,625
mortgaged up to the bloody hilt,
loan-sharks on our backs...
82
00:08:43,792 --> 00:08:47,667
no bloody money, no bloody job,
and what are you going to do?
83
00:08:47,833 --> 00:08:49,250
Fucking juggle?
84
00:08:50,542 --> 00:08:52,750
Bit cIumsy with the crockery,
your Sandra.
85
00:08:57,167 --> 00:08:59,417
-All right, Iove?
-All right.
86
00:10:29,708 --> 00:10:33,375
Crap. That's what that was.
A Ioad of bloody crap.
87
00:10:34,417 --> 00:10:36,167
What did Eric Morecombe say?
AlI the right notes...
88
00:10:36,333 --> 00:10:38,958
but not necessarily the right order.
What happened to you, son?
89
00:10:39,125 --> 00:10:40,083
It just fell apart.
90
00:10:40,250 --> 00:10:43,542
Aye, you're not the only one. Andy
Iad, all over the shop, you were.
91
00:10:44,250 --> 00:10:46,917
-What is up with you lot?
-Got our minds on other things, Danny.
92
00:10:47,250 --> 00:10:49,917
-Like what?
-Blimey, you been on holiday or what?
93
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:51,500
How do you mean?
94
00:10:51,667 --> 00:10:54,958
Well it may've escaped your notice,
Iike, but pit's under threat.
95
00:10:55,292 --> 00:10:56,667
What's that
got to do with us?
96
00:10:57,750 --> 00:11:00,583
Oh, aye, you're
right, not a lot.
97
00:11:03,417 --> 00:11:07,458
Now listen to me, aII of you. These
are worrying times, I know that.
98
00:11:07,792 --> 00:11:10,917
But look what it says here, eh?
1881.
99
00:11:11,083 --> 00:11:12,625
Over a hundred years this band's
been going...
100
00:11:12,792 --> 00:11:15,292
two world wars, three disasters,
seven strikes...
101
00:11:15,458 --> 00:11:18,917
one bloody big depression and t'band
played on every flaming time.
102
00:11:19,083 --> 00:11:21,375
Danny, this is t'biggest disaster
of t'lot.
103
00:11:21,958 --> 00:11:24,792
Can't have a coIIiery band without
a bIoody coIliery, can you?
104
00:11:24,958 --> 00:11:28,750
Listen. We've got the NationaI Semi
FinaIs coming up and we're capabIe...
105
00:11:28,917 --> 00:11:31,833
I mean it, well capabIe of going
through to London.
106
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,083
The first time in our history.
The Albert Hall.
107
00:11:35,417 --> 00:11:37,292
Now I know there's a spot
of bother at the pit...
108
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,042
but that's something separate. This
is music, and it's music that matters.
109
00:11:45,083 --> 00:11:46,750
Now, come on,
kitty fort'weekend.
110
00:11:48,375 --> 00:11:50,750
Danny, me and Ernie, we've been
thinking it over, Iike...
111
00:11:51,583 --> 00:11:53,333
I know subs aren't much, but...
112
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:56,375
-present cIimate and that...
-What are you saying, Jim?
113
00:11:56,750 --> 00:11:59,125
Me and Jim have made
a decision, Iike.
114
00:12:04,542 --> 00:12:06,500
HeIIo, love, can we help?
115
00:12:07,583 --> 00:12:11,042
ls this the Colliery Band rehearsal?
116
00:12:11,875 --> 00:12:15,792
No, love, t'band's on Tuesdays.
Tonight's origami class.
117
00:12:16,250 --> 00:12:18,375
Take no notice, fIower.
Can I help?
118
00:12:18,750 --> 00:12:22,375
I'm staying at the pub. I play
the fIugel.
119
00:12:22,792 --> 00:12:25,167
WeII, sort of dabble.
120
00:12:25,417 --> 00:12:26,833
Mrs Foggan said...
121
00:12:28,875 --> 00:12:33,125
WeIl, she said you might let me
play with you.
122
00:12:33,667 --> 00:12:35,292
Down, boy, down.
123
00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:39,417
l know it may sound Iike we need all
t'help we can get, but sorry love...
124
00:12:39,583 --> 00:12:41,875
l mean, usuaIIy, as a ruIe,
we don't ...
125
00:12:42,167 --> 00:12:44,375
aIlow, you know, outsiders.
126
00:12:45,083 --> 00:12:47,292
Aye, I understand that,
except l'm ...
127
00:12:47,458 --> 00:12:49,833
not strictly an outsider. I were
born in GrimIey.
128
00:12:50,208 --> 00:12:52,208
Is that right, Iove?
What's your name?
129
00:12:52,667 --> 00:12:53,667
Gloria.
130
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:56,625
-GIoria...?
-Stits.
131
00:12:57,500 --> 00:12:58,625
GIorious tits.
132
00:13:00,583 --> 00:13:01,083
Ernie.
133
00:13:02,750 --> 00:13:05,333
MulIins. GIoria Mullins.
134
00:13:08,625 --> 00:13:10,167
Arthur's GIoria?
135
00:13:11,083 --> 00:13:13,708
-You're Danny, aren't you?
-Aye.
136
00:13:14,875 --> 00:13:17,083
-I didn'tthink you'd still be...
-AIive and kicking?
137
00:13:17,542 --> 00:13:20,500
-Oh aye Iove, just about.
-No, l meant leading the band.
138
00:13:20,750 --> 00:13:21,583
Yes.
139
00:13:22,083 --> 00:13:24,458
Well come in, park your bum,
park yourseIf somewhere.
140
00:13:27,417 --> 00:13:30,250
If you didn't know him, you'd have
heard of him, Arthur Mullins...
141
00:13:30,542 --> 00:13:33,708
this young lady's grandad.
Best bandsman l ever played with.
142
00:13:33,875 --> 00:13:35,250
Bravest miner
I ever worked with.
143
00:13:36,833 --> 00:13:40,333
Closest friend I ever had, till his
lungs packed in in '79.
144
00:13:41,375 --> 00:13:43,333
-Sorry, Iove.
-lt's true.
145
00:13:44,458 --> 00:13:48,167
Good to see you back. Excuse me a
moment, GIoria, I'm just collecting.
146
00:13:50,250 --> 00:13:53,958
Jim, what were you saying?
Something about t'present cIimate?
147
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:56,708
Oh aye, l was saying, Iike...
148
00:13:57,708 --> 00:13:59,292
despite present cIimate...
149
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:02,250
you can always rely on our continued
and whole-hearted...
150
00:14:02,417 --> 00:14:05,083
-support for the cause.
-Oh, aye. Solidarity.
151
00:14:05,375 --> 00:14:06,833
Thick and thin, and alI that.
152
00:14:07,667 --> 00:14:08,917
Lend us a fiver.
153
00:14:12,625 --> 00:14:14,125
SoIidarity.
154
00:14:16,208 --> 00:14:17,875
Do you remember me?
155
00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:23,667
-Barry? Barry Andrews?
-Andy Barrow.
156
00:14:24,583 --> 00:14:25,625
Andy Barrow.
157
00:14:27,542 --> 00:14:30,542
-God, you haven't changed a bit.
-You have.
158
00:14:32,125 --> 00:14:35,792
-What are you up to now, then?
-This and that, y'know, keeping busy.
159
00:14:39,875 --> 00:14:41,500
Hey, that's not...is it?
160
00:14:42,042 --> 00:14:45,042
He Ieft it me in his will. Couldn't
let it go to rust, could I?
161
00:14:45,208 --> 00:14:48,208
Clever oId sod. Even when he were
gone he made sure l'd take it up.
162
00:14:48,375 --> 00:14:51,250
WelI I know it won't be t'same, but
it'd be loveIy just to hear it again.
163
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,750
-OK.
-What do you know?
164
00:14:54,750 --> 00:14:57,208
Well, l've been practising...
165
00:14:57,375 --> 00:15:00,625
-Rodrigo's Concerto D'A ranjuez.
-You what?
166
00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:04,125
-Orange juice to you.
-Oh, aye.
167
00:15:04,833 --> 00:15:07,125
-l'm a bit wobbly stiII.
-Don't you fret, pet.
168
00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:09,583
Wobbly'd be too
good for this Iot.
169
00:15:11,083 --> 00:15:14,208
Paul, the music. Bernie, get her
a stand.
170
00:15:16,125 --> 00:15:17,708
OK, everyone.
171
00:15:20,125 --> 00:15:21,250
AlI right?
172
00:15:22,250 --> 00:15:23,583
Are we aIl together?
173
00:15:25,208 --> 00:15:26,625
Andy, Iad, are you with us?
174
00:15:29,333 --> 00:15:32,875
Poor Iad. Still got your mind
on that pit?
175
00:15:36,875 --> 00:15:40,375
All right lads.
Rodrigo's Concerto...
176
00:15:40,542 --> 00:15:41,875
D'Orange Juice.
177
00:19:55,250 --> 00:19:56,958
And she calIs that wobbly.
178
00:20:04,833 --> 00:20:06,958
-Well done, lass.
-Well done, love.
179
00:20:07,833 --> 00:20:09,083
BIoody great.
180
00:20:11,167 --> 00:20:14,208
-You doing anything at the weekend?
-No.
181
00:20:14,958 --> 00:20:17,833
Right lads, listen up.
SaddIeworth tomorrow.
182
00:20:18,333 --> 00:20:22,875
14 villages, love. Contest in each.
AII at the same time. Cash prizes.
183
00:20:23,333 --> 00:20:25,708
So, any road, lads...
184
00:20:26,708 --> 00:20:29,250
big chance to swelI the coffers
tomorrow, so...
185
00:20:29,667 --> 00:20:31,625
we're going for all fourteen.
186
00:20:32,208 --> 00:20:35,125
-Are you on, love?
-lf l'm allowed.
187
00:20:35,292 --> 00:20:38,167
Don't be soft, Iass.
You were born here.
188
00:21:13,667 --> 00:21:16,042
It's a profitable pit, this.
189
00:21:16,708 --> 00:21:18,917
There's hundreds of years of coal
down there...
190
00:21:19,083 --> 00:21:23,583
but it doesn't matterto them
bastards. We're making money for'em...
191
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:26,667
hand over fist, we are.
And stiII they want to shut us down.
192
00:21:27,208 --> 00:21:31,125
-WelI, teII them bollocks to them.
-That's up to you Iot isn't it, Iad?
193
00:21:31,833 --> 00:21:34,125
WeII, thank Christ
it isn't up to you.
194
00:21:35,375 --> 00:21:38,875
Jesus, we shouIdn't have even Iet the
offer be put on't table.
195
00:21:39,042 --> 00:21:42,042
They're just bIoody puppets, that Iot.
They do whateverthe bastards want.
196
00:21:42,208 --> 00:21:46,333
-Phil, Iad.
-We didn't do what they wanted in '84.
197
00:21:46,792 --> 00:21:48,917
No, we dug
us heels in, didn't we?
198
00:21:49,125 --> 00:21:51,583
Aye, and some of us got bloody
Iocked up for it.
199
00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:53,167
Big bloody deaI.
200
00:21:54,458 --> 00:21:56,167
Hey, suspended I were.
201
00:21:56,333 --> 00:21:59,250
It took that lot a year and a half
to get me reinstated.
202
00:21:59,833 --> 00:22:02,292
That's eighteen month on bloody
strike pay.
203
00:22:02,708 --> 00:22:06,375
-With a wife, bloody kids, mortgage.
-lt's ten years ago, paI.
204
00:22:06,792 --> 00:22:08,917
Aye, ten years.
205
00:22:09,167 --> 00:22:12,000
And l were that bloody broke, l'm
stiII frigging paying for it.
206
00:22:12,208 --> 00:22:14,500
That's how big a fucking deaI
it were.
207
00:22:15,625 --> 00:22:17,417
Hey, where were
you then, eh, pal?
208
00:22:17,625 --> 00:22:18,875
In '84?
209
00:22:19,708 --> 00:22:21,000
I don't remember
seeing you on t'line.
210
00:22:22,292 --> 00:22:25,542
Oh aye, we aII know which way
you'lI be voting.
211
00:22:26,333 --> 00:22:28,375
-Come on then, you bastard.
-Anytime.
212
00:22:33,042 --> 00:22:34,292
Leave it out.
213
00:22:36,417 --> 00:22:37,333
Listen!
214
00:22:38,083 --> 00:22:40,542
That's just what they're bIoody
wanting, you know that, don't you?
215
00:22:42,875 --> 00:22:45,333
AII right, this is what you've got:
ballot next week, right?
216
00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:46,875
You've got two options.
217
00:22:47,042 --> 00:22:50,375
One: you can vote to take pit to
Review Procedure.
218
00:22:50,833 --> 00:22:55,458
Obviously that's one we want, because
we reckon you've got a decent chance.
219
00:22:55,792 --> 00:22:56,708
Or, two...
220
00:22:56,917 --> 00:22:59,125
-You can vote to take pay-off.
-Get stuffed.
221
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,375
Listen, Iisten. They told us
Iast night...
222
00:23:03,542 --> 00:23:06,000
that redundancy offer's gone up
three thousand...
223
00:23:06,167 --> 00:23:09,167
from a twenty grand maximum
to twenty three...
224
00:23:09,833 --> 00:23:11,375
with a five grand sweetener.
225
00:23:16,583 --> 00:23:19,500
This is only a temporary offer.
226
00:23:20,750 --> 00:23:25,125
lf you say no, they're pulling any
future offer down to a fIat fifteen.
227
00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:26,750
Bastards!
228
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:32,833
-Born bastards, stay bastards.
-That's right.
229
00:23:33,042 --> 00:23:36,208
WeII it's no good shouting now Iads,
do it next week in the ballot.
230
00:23:36,417 --> 00:23:39,083
Say no to bloody bIackmaiI...
231
00:23:39,250 --> 00:23:42,000
-and yes to keeping this pit aIive.
-That's what we want.
232
00:23:58,208 --> 00:24:01,458
The miners united will never
be defeated.
233
00:24:03,417 --> 00:24:06,917
Poor biddies. Don't they know they're
pissing into t'wind like rest of us?
234
00:24:08,375 --> 00:24:10,333
-Can they do that, women?
-What?
235
00:24:10,833 --> 00:24:13,917
-Piss in the wind.
-No, Ernie, that's just the point.
236
00:24:15,333 --> 00:24:18,083
But even on a nice day, y'know, when
there's no wind about, they can't ...
237
00:24:18,292 --> 00:24:20,667
-y'know, get any direction on it.
-Well aIl right, whatever it is...
238
00:24:20,875 --> 00:24:24,333
that Iasses do that's pointIess.
-Bloody hell, so much to choose from.
239
00:24:25,917 --> 00:24:27,375
Fart in a force ten?
240
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,667
My God Phil, you don't half know
some funny women.
241
00:24:31,083 --> 00:24:33,417
Steady, Iads,
my missus does that.
242
00:24:35,667 --> 00:24:39,083
Oh you daft bastards.
"Women against CIosure"?
243
00:24:42,667 --> 00:24:45,125
That is when she's not farting
in a force ten.
244
00:24:51,167 --> 00:24:52,708
-Morning, love.
-See you.
245
00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:04,333
lf I don't have a day away
on my own...
246
00:25:04,542 --> 00:25:08,083
l'm going to go frigging barmy,
honest I am. l'll kill someone.
247
00:25:08,542 --> 00:25:11,125
-WeII, go somewhere tomorrow, eh?
-PhiI...
248
00:25:11,333 --> 00:25:14,083
l'm off today,
or I'm off for good.
249
00:25:14,333 --> 00:25:15,792
Give me some money.
250
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,375
-Oh hey love, l've only got a tenner.
-Atenner'II do.
251
00:25:22,250 --> 00:25:25,000
But it's SaddIeworth, and me dad'll
kiII me if l don't turn up.
252
00:25:26,458 --> 00:25:27,875
And l will if you do.
253
00:25:29,542 --> 00:25:30,875
Isn't life just shit?
254
00:25:34,083 --> 00:25:35,458
On your head, Dad?
255
00:25:39,417 --> 00:25:44,042
Course the offer's attractive. lt's
tantamount to bribery.
256
00:25:44,250 --> 00:25:47,625
They want Grimley closed, for
whatever reason, nobody knows...
257
00:25:47,833 --> 00:25:51,042
-they think by dangIing a carrot...
-This just came for you.
258
00:25:51,417 --> 00:25:53,375
Oh, ta.
259
00:25:54,875 --> 00:25:55,667
Thanks.
260
00:25:56,292 --> 00:26:00,125
They want jobs, a future. They want
an industry, and come the ballot...
261
00:26:00,292 --> 00:26:03,875
-that's what they'll be voting for.
-Yes. That's right.
262
00:26:16,583 --> 00:26:19,667
...the hearing decides the pit has a
sound economic future...
263
00:26:19,833 --> 00:26:23,458
then we shaII abide by that decision
and work towards it.
264
00:26:23,833 --> 00:26:28,042
Naturally, l mean, nobody wants
Grimley to cIose.
265
00:26:31,958 --> 00:26:34,292
Oh I'm bIoody
starving, aren't you?
266
00:26:35,458 --> 00:26:37,125
Let's see whatwe've got.
267
00:26:37,875 --> 00:26:39,542
Dad, who were that?
268
00:26:42,625 --> 00:26:44,375
Just a couple of feIIas.
269
00:26:45,375 --> 00:26:49,958
-Are you in troubIe, Dad?
-Your dad in trouble?
270
00:26:50,208 --> 00:26:52,500
Looked like they were going
to smack you.
271
00:26:53,792 --> 00:26:55,542
Aye, they were lad.
272
00:26:58,167 --> 00:27:01,750
They were from t'council.
Leisure department.
273
00:27:02,250 --> 00:27:04,875
They said that if we don't have
fun today...
274
00:27:05,042 --> 00:27:10,125
-we are in big, big troubIe.
-Dad, I'm eight and a haIf now.
275
00:27:11,750 --> 00:27:12,833
Are you?
276
00:27:13,458 --> 00:27:16,458
Well you can heIp me find t'bastard
tin opener then, can't you?
277
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:19,083
GIoria Mullins?
278
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,333
What, Melons Mullins? Lived up Donny
Road? Chubby lass?
279
00:27:24,125 --> 00:27:26,667
We used to sing that hymn: Gloria
in XL.
280
00:27:26,833 --> 00:27:28,833
That's her, except she's
far from chubby now, Iike.
281
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,417
Aye, l remember her.
282
00:27:32,667 --> 00:27:36,250
-You had her, behind t'bus station.
-No l never.
283
00:27:36,958 --> 00:27:38,250
You toId us you did.
284
00:27:38,792 --> 00:27:41,583
No. It were top half only.
285
00:27:45,458 --> 00:27:47,333
-Does she remember?
-Does she heII as like.
286
00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:50,250
-Couldn't even remember my name.
-Oh, get away.
287
00:27:50,417 --> 00:27:54,292
Bet that's why she's come back.
To complete unfinished business.
288
00:28:00,458 --> 00:28:01,917
What are you smiling at?
289
00:28:02,667 --> 00:28:03,917
Another?
290
00:28:05,167 --> 00:28:06,667
All right, go on then.
291
00:28:10,250 --> 00:28:12,583
What the bleeding hell
are you two doing?
292
00:28:13,917 --> 00:28:15,542
We fancied a game of golf, Iike.
293
00:28:15,708 --> 00:28:19,167
You daft gawpheads. You never
resigned, did you?
294
00:28:19,333 --> 00:28:22,542
Sat there like a couple of oId
biddies and paid t'money, didn't you?
295
00:28:23,125 --> 00:28:26,958
OId Danny taIked us round, like.
He were very persuasive.
296
00:28:27,125 --> 00:28:29,750
-We had no option, lover, honestIy.
-No bollocks, more like.
297
00:28:32,417 --> 00:28:35,125
I reckon it were sommat to do with
bollocks that got us to stay.
298
00:28:35,958 --> 00:28:39,750
-No bloody gumption, them two.
-Soup for brains, the pair of them.
299
00:28:39,917 --> 00:28:42,875
Excuse me, where's the
Collier's Arms?
300
00:28:43,042 --> 00:28:44,917
Hanging off his shoulders, pet.
301
00:28:45,875 --> 00:28:49,250
-The oId one's are the best, eh?
-lt's the young ones we worry about.
302
00:28:49,708 --> 00:28:52,375
-Off to Saddleworth, are you?
-That's right.
303
00:28:53,708 --> 00:28:56,500
-FoIIow them two daft 'aporths.
-Ta.
304
00:28:59,542 --> 00:29:01,208
-Hey, love?
-Yeah?
305
00:29:01,375 --> 00:29:04,750
-Joined band last night, did you?
-Yeah. How did you know that?
306
00:29:05,333 --> 00:29:07,417
Just something me husband
never said.
307
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:14,375
Aye, I am.
308
00:29:15,042 --> 00:29:17,542
-What?
-Thinking what you're thinking.
309
00:29:23,458 --> 00:29:25,042
-Eh, up.
-What are you doing?
310
00:29:25,208 --> 00:29:27,167
-Don't sit on that.
-Get off.
311
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:36,667
-Eh, up, Iads.
-All right?
312
00:29:38,042 --> 00:29:39,375
-Hi Danny,
-Paul.
313
00:29:42,417 --> 00:29:45,750
Oh, teII me you're bloody joking
son, please.
314
00:29:45,917 --> 00:29:49,583
-Sorry. AII of us or none at aII.
-Why for Christ's sake?
315
00:29:49,792 --> 00:29:53,000
lt were them men from t'P leasure
Department, Grandad.
316
00:29:54,125 --> 00:29:56,167
-You what?
-Anyway...
317
00:29:56,458 --> 00:29:59,292
nowt wrong with a bit of vocal
support, eh?
318
00:30:03,667 --> 00:30:07,125
-l hope you feel as good as you look.
-l'm nervous.
319
00:30:07,917 --> 00:30:11,167
Get away with you. Your grandad would
be proud of you. Go on, in you get.
320
00:30:14,250 --> 00:30:17,792
-Eh, up GIoria.
-Hey oggle-eyes, is that the lot?
321
00:30:17,958 --> 00:30:19,875
No, no, no there's ...
322
00:30:20,375 --> 00:30:23,292
There's one more,
as per bIoody usual.
323
00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:24,833
Poor lass.
324
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,958
All she wants is a nice day out and
she gets stuck between them 2 buggers.
325
00:30:30,917 --> 00:30:34,083
Shit.
Oh, sorry Harry.
326
00:30:34,417 --> 00:30:37,583
-Come here, darling
-Thanks a lot, Kylie.
327
00:30:39,333 --> 00:30:43,417
There you go, mate. What
were aII that about?
328
00:30:43,625 --> 00:30:47,917
Here comes Fast bloody Eddie now.
Come on Andy lad. Step on it.
329
00:30:49,042 --> 00:30:49,875
Sorry.
330
00:30:52,750 --> 00:30:56,625
-AII right StanIey, that's the lot.
-What about these two here?
331
00:30:59,083 --> 00:30:59,917
Bloody heII.
332
00:31:00,083 --> 00:31:02,917
Don't look Iike that, Danny lad.
lt's nearest colours we could find.
333
00:31:03,083 --> 00:31:05,083
-What are you doing?
-We'vejust founded t'fan cIub.
334
00:31:05,250 --> 00:31:06,583
Well l don't think we...
335
00:31:06,917 --> 00:31:09,958
Look ladies, l mean, this is
traditionalIy a...
336
00:31:10,417 --> 00:31:13,750
-male onIy excursion. You know that.
-New Iass on board, is she?
337
00:31:14,875 --> 00:31:19,417
Aye. That's different.
I mean, she's very taIented.
338
00:31:19,917 --> 00:31:21,958
Aye, l know, we saw her.
339
00:31:22,125 --> 00:31:25,208
l'll have you know, that girl bIows
flugeI Iike a dream.
340
00:31:25,542 --> 00:31:28,750
Danny Ormondroyd!
At your age!
341
00:31:33,375 --> 00:31:36,333
Come on love, it's not
"What's my Iine?" .
342
00:31:37,833 --> 00:31:41,000
Well, l'm a surveyor.
343
00:31:41,792 --> 00:31:45,125
BIimey. What, you mean like a
quantity surveyor?
344
00:31:45,333 --> 00:31:48,000
-Kind of.
-Want to survey my quantity, Iove?
345
00:31:50,083 --> 00:31:52,292
WelI I do say
"no job too smaII" .
346
00:31:54,125 --> 00:31:56,833
Get away love. Take you a bloody
fortnight, this one.
347
00:32:01,375 --> 00:32:03,708
We had no option,
Iover, honest.
348
00:32:05,292 --> 00:32:06,667
Shift up, duck.
349
00:32:07,500 --> 00:32:09,708
Eh, up PhiI, groupies are on.
350
00:32:11,292 --> 00:32:13,042
Sex, drugs and rock and roll,
eh girls?
351
00:32:13,208 --> 00:32:15,750
Aye, except we can do without
drugs and rock and roII.
352
00:35:26,708 --> 00:35:30,292
Laughing. They were bloody
laughing at us.
353
00:35:31,875 --> 00:35:36,667
Look at them. If they were alive
today, they'd turn in their graves.
354
00:35:36,875 --> 00:35:41,167
And if Arthur MulIins was Iooking
down on us, weII God bIoody heIp us.
355
00:35:41,833 --> 00:35:43,750
l mean,
is this what it's come to?
356
00:35:44,208 --> 00:35:46,375
Bits of trombone flying
alI over t'shop?
357
00:35:46,542 --> 00:35:49,042
Stopping t'march to change
bloody nappies?
358
00:35:49,542 --> 00:35:52,417
Too bIoody bewied to stay on
t'buggering bandstand.
359
00:35:52,583 --> 00:35:55,458
We may as well
aIl bIoody give up.
360
00:35:55,625 --> 00:35:57,125
I reckon we
aIready have, Dan.
361
00:35:57,583 --> 00:35:59,042
That's kind of why itwent
like it did.
362
00:35:59,583 --> 00:36:01,458
Reckon we thought we'd go out
on a high note.
363
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,125
Happen our idea of a high note's a
bit different from yours, like.
364
00:36:05,375 --> 00:36:08,292
Go out? What are you talking about
Ernie, go out?
365
00:36:08,458 --> 00:36:09,958
Danny lad,
you've got to face it.
366
00:36:10,333 --> 00:36:13,375
-lf pit goes, band goes with it.
-When pit goes.
367
00:36:14,042 --> 00:36:14,833
If.
368
00:36:17,083 --> 00:36:19,000
However balIot goes, they'lI
still cIose the bugger.
369
00:36:19,167 --> 00:36:20,958
Not necessariIy.
It depends on the...
370
00:36:23,583 --> 00:36:25,833
On that review thingy.
371
00:36:26,875 --> 00:36:27,917
Surely?
372
00:36:28,917 --> 00:36:30,833
Trouble with you lot is you've
got no pride.
373
00:36:31,458 --> 00:36:35,542
And you know one thing more than owt
eIse here that symbolises pride?
374
00:36:35,708 --> 00:36:39,292
It's this bIoody band,
that's what. Ask anybody.
375
00:36:39,917 --> 00:36:43,208
l mean, if they cIose down the pit,
knock it down...
376
00:36:43,375 --> 00:36:46,292
fiIl it up, Iike they've done with
all t'bloody rest, no trace.
377
00:36:46,458 --> 00:36:49,458
Years to come, there'lI onIy be one
reminder...
378
00:36:49,667 --> 00:36:54,000
Of hundred bIoody years hard graft:
this bloody band.
379
00:36:54,708 --> 00:36:57,542
Oh, they can shut up the unions,
they can shut up the workers...
380
00:36:57,708 --> 00:37:00,250
but I'll teII you one thing for
nothing, they'II never shut us up.
381
00:37:00,667 --> 00:37:05,458
We'll play on. Loud as ever. Starting
with National Semis in HaIifax.
382
00:37:05,625 --> 00:37:08,667
Win them and we can carry
our heads high and march...
383
00:37:08,833 --> 00:37:10,750
on to the Albert bIoody Hall,
aIl right?
384
00:37:11,250 --> 00:37:14,292
-Are we pIaying or are we packing in?
-Playing.
385
00:37:19,333 --> 00:37:20,417
Sorry.
386
00:37:21,375 --> 00:37:22,833
No, don't you worry, flower.
387
00:37:23,625 --> 00:37:25,333
You've nowt to be ashamed of.
388
00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:28,833
No bugger eIse, then?
389
00:37:33,208 --> 00:37:35,750
Danny, l reckon l speak
for everybody.
390
00:37:36,750 --> 00:37:38,292
We'll play on whiIe pit's open...
391
00:37:38,792 --> 00:37:41,833
-Minute they close it, we pack it in.
-Aye, right.
392
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,750
-You can't ask for more than that.
-Hear hear.
393
00:37:46,750 --> 00:37:47,583
No.
394
00:37:49,458 --> 00:37:50,500
Obviously not.
395
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,917
-Hiya.
-Hiya.
396
00:38:12,708 --> 00:38:14,083
Moving words.
397
00:38:15,250 --> 00:38:17,792
-What?
-Back there. Danny.
398
00:38:17,958 --> 00:38:21,292
Aye, daft old codger. lf it weren't
for band, he'd pop his clogs.
399
00:38:21,458 --> 00:38:25,250
I wondered if you fancied some grub?
-Where?
400
00:38:25,417 --> 00:38:27,458
-Don't know. l'll go posh if you want.
-Andy.
401
00:38:27,625 --> 00:38:28,958
All right, Phil.
402
00:38:29,125 --> 00:38:32,042
-Have you seen me dad?
-Aye he's stiII inside, I think.
403
00:38:33,750 --> 00:38:35,625
-WeII?
-All right.
404
00:38:50,042 --> 00:38:51,458
You all right, Dad?
405
00:38:55,750 --> 00:38:58,042
Thank you for
your support, son.
406
00:39:03,958 --> 00:39:06,000
Oh, Iisten, Phil lad.
407
00:39:07,083 --> 00:39:08,625
I've been thinking, right...
408
00:39:10,250 --> 00:39:13,208
Semi-Final's no place for
409
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:15,333
Better find yourself
a new bit of brass.
410
00:39:16,708 --> 00:39:19,958
I'm not forking out for a new
trombone just for one performance.
411
00:39:20,125 --> 00:39:22,417
One?
What about the Albert HaII?
412
00:39:24,375 --> 00:39:26,875
Now normaIIy l'd say get summat
cheap, but...
413
00:39:27,875 --> 00:39:30,875
but you're a bloody good trombonist
lad, you need a bloody good trombone.
414
00:39:31,042 --> 00:39:31,875
Dad...
415
00:39:33,583 --> 00:39:37,625
l like the band. I love the band,
we aII do.
416
00:39:38,875 --> 00:39:44,000
But there's other things in Iife,
you know, that's more important.
417
00:39:47,292 --> 00:39:48,917
Not in mine, there isn't .
418
00:39:53,292 --> 00:39:54,833
What's that on your hankie?
419
00:39:58,792 --> 00:40:00,000
Oh, nowt.
420
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:03,125
Chain come off me bike.
421
00:40:35,250 --> 00:40:38,375
Didn't realise we were going this
posh, I'd have got doIIed up.
422
00:40:47,542 --> 00:40:50,417
You know back there, when Danny said
you'd nowt to be ashamed of?
423
00:40:51,292 --> 00:40:52,625
Is that right, then?
424
00:40:57,292 --> 00:40:58,875
You work for bloody management
don't you?
425
00:41:01,083 --> 00:41:02,625
-Andy, I'm just...
-Fuck.
426
00:41:02,792 --> 00:41:06,917
l just compiIe surveys, Andy, just do
viability studies, boring, maybe...
427
00:41:07,083 --> 00:41:09,000
-but hardly summat to be ashamed of.
-No?
428
00:41:09,333 --> 00:41:13,250
-Kept very quiet about it.
-Cause I knew you'd get it aII wrong.
429
00:41:13,417 --> 00:41:16,583
-Oh, aye?
-l'm on the same side as you, Andy.
430
00:41:17,208 --> 00:41:20,250
l want Grimley to stay open too, and
once it gets to review...
431
00:41:20,417 --> 00:41:23,042
-I can help it stay open with my report.
-BoIlocks.
432
00:41:23,500 --> 00:41:26,875
My figures show GrimIey has a future,
it's a profitable pit.
433
00:41:27,042 --> 00:41:30,417
They know that. It'lI never reach
review. The lads'll go for redundancy.
434
00:41:30,667 --> 00:41:32,667
And that's another thing that you
lot know...
435
00:41:32,833 --> 00:41:34,542
just how much to offer
to get a resuIt.
436
00:41:34,708 --> 00:41:38,667
Every miner l've spoken to is
voting to stay put.
437
00:41:38,833 --> 00:41:40,917
Do you think they'd telI you
any different?
438
00:41:41,583 --> 00:41:43,750
Four to one
it'lI go for pay-off.
439
00:41:43,917 --> 00:41:46,208
-You're voting to stay put?
-Course l bloody am.
440
00:41:46,750 --> 00:41:48,125
Then you must
have some hope.
441
00:41:48,917 --> 00:41:51,250
No hope.
Just principles.
442
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,375
It's your first job for them,
isn't it?
443
00:41:54,542 --> 00:41:58,667
Otherwise you'd know that your report
means as much as we do. Bugger aIl.
444
00:41:59,333 --> 00:42:01,375
lt's just a
bIoody PR exercise.
445
00:42:01,542 --> 00:42:04,292
So blind, naive peopIe, peopIe not
unlike yourseIf...
446
00:42:04,458 --> 00:42:07,000
wiII think those good eggs at Head
Office have been very fair...
447
00:42:07,167 --> 00:42:09,292
very reasonable. Done
their best, done their sums...
448
00:42:09,458 --> 00:42:11,792
and, oh dear, they
just don't add up.
449
00:42:12,042 --> 00:42:14,208
They'll have to cIose another pit.
Shame.
450
00:42:15,542 --> 00:42:17,250
They won't even
read the bugger.
451
00:42:17,833 --> 00:42:20,958
They've aIready made their decision,
probably when you were at college.
452
00:42:21,625 --> 00:42:23,417
Oh, don't be ridicuIous.
453
00:42:25,375 --> 00:42:29,125
Anyway, if my job's so bloody
irrelevant...
454
00:42:29,375 --> 00:42:31,250
how come you
hate me so much?
455
00:42:32,917 --> 00:42:34,250
l don't have you, I...
456
00:42:38,417 --> 00:42:40,417
-Who's the haddock?
-She is.
457
00:42:50,417 --> 00:42:52,417
l chose Grimley, you know.
458
00:42:52,958 --> 00:42:56,000
They offered me other pits, but l
chose Grimley for two reasons.
459
00:42:56,500 --> 00:43:01,083
Because if I could help keep one pit
aIive, I wanted it to be this one.
460
00:43:01,625 --> 00:43:02,458
Second...
461
00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:07,417
Hey, isn't that...
462
00:43:08,375 --> 00:43:10,583
where the old bus station was?
463
00:43:11,750 --> 00:43:14,292
-l didn't think you'd remember.
-How could I forget?
464
00:43:15,125 --> 00:43:17,500
I'm sorry. FumbIings of a fourteen
year old.
465
00:43:17,667 --> 00:43:20,125
What did we call it?
Top half onIy.
466
00:43:21,042 --> 00:43:24,625
Can hardly have been worth it
at that age. Just kids.
467
00:43:25,750 --> 00:43:29,500
-l'd get better value now.
-Well that's inflation for you.
468
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,833
l did know your name,
you know.
469
00:43:38,833 --> 00:43:40,708
When l called you
Barry Andrews.
470
00:43:41,792 --> 00:43:43,417
l just didn'twant
you to think...
471
00:43:44,292 --> 00:43:45,458
I don't know.
472
00:43:46,667 --> 00:43:48,958
That it was etched forever
on me brain.
473
00:43:50,458 --> 00:43:51,958
'Cause it hasn't been,
has it?
474
00:44:00,458 --> 00:44:03,000
Do you want to come
up for a coffee?
475
00:44:03,625 --> 00:44:05,125
l don't drink coffee.
476
00:44:07,375 --> 00:44:08,833
I haven't got any.
477
00:44:32,875 --> 00:44:35,625
-Eh up, Phil.
-Jesus Christ.
478
00:44:35,792 --> 00:44:38,083
Did you Iike it so much you want
to go back?
479
00:44:38,667 --> 00:44:40,792
-What?
-WakefieId Prison?
480
00:44:41,625 --> 00:44:44,958
-What are you on about?
-Shall we call it a day, eh?
481
00:44:56,167 --> 00:44:57,417
Evening, love.
482
00:44:58,625 --> 00:44:59,792
Night.
483
00:45:31,250 --> 00:45:33,833
All right, Andy lad. What've you
been up to?
484
00:45:34,792 --> 00:45:36,750
A bit of extra
practice, like.
485
00:45:38,167 --> 00:45:40,500
-You're a genius you, aren't you?
-What?
486
00:45:41,042 --> 00:45:43,708
Well, it takes a speciaI talent that,
practicing...
487
00:45:44,333 --> 00:45:47,667
-without your instrument.
-l must've left it in there, l'll...
488
00:45:47,875 --> 00:45:49,917
-l'll pick it up tomorrow.
-Right.
489
00:45:51,542 --> 00:45:53,083
Gloria on good form,
is she?
490
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,417
-Night, Andy lad.
-Night, Danny.
491
00:48:29,708 --> 00:48:31,958
Mr MacKenzie, could l have a
quick word?
492
00:48:32,125 --> 00:48:34,042
WeII, l'm actually rather busy,
Gloria.
493
00:48:34,208 --> 00:48:37,667
Yes, so am l. l just wanted to make
sure l wasn't busy for no reason.
494
00:48:37,833 --> 00:48:40,792
It's just some of the information
l need...
495
00:48:40,958 --> 00:48:42,625
it's Iike getting bIood out of
a stone.
496
00:48:42,792 --> 00:48:45,000
I feel Iike I'm flogging a dead
horse sometimes and I...
497
00:48:45,167 --> 00:48:47,750
Shall we stop talking in riddIes,
GIoria?
498
00:48:50,167 --> 00:48:54,125
I'm worried that my report
may be sort of...
499
00:48:55,833 --> 00:48:56,750
immateriaI.
500
00:48:57,792 --> 00:48:59,125
Your report is vital...
501
00:49:00,250 --> 00:49:02,125
absoIutely paramount.
502
00:49:02,625 --> 00:49:04,583
lf this pit goes to review,
and we hope it wiII...
503
00:49:05,375 --> 00:49:09,375
we have cruciaI decisions to make and
we can't make them without detaiIed...
504
00:49:09,542 --> 00:49:13,333
accurate reports from highIy
quaIified people such as yourself.
505
00:49:16,292 --> 00:49:18,167
lt's a tricky business, GIoria.
506
00:49:18,625 --> 00:49:20,542
AII we want to do
is get it right.
507
00:49:21,833 --> 00:49:22,667
Okay?
508
00:49:31,333 --> 00:49:32,167
Yeah.
509
00:49:40,500 --> 00:49:43,833
Eh up, Andy. Look, there's your mate,
Miss Glorious Tits.
510
00:49:44,333 --> 00:49:45,792
What's she doing here?
511
00:49:59,417 --> 00:50:02,458
Now then, what's a nice girI like you
doing in a horribIe place like this?
512
00:50:02,833 --> 00:50:04,417
Oh, hiya.
513
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,042
Hi, Andy.
514
00:50:08,333 --> 00:50:09,167
Hiya.
515
00:50:09,542 --> 00:50:13,875
-l came up to meet Andy out of work.
-He's not out of work yet, love.
516
00:50:14,625 --> 00:50:15,958
Come back next week.
517
00:50:16,125 --> 00:50:17,833
l just wondered if you wanted a
quick practice, Andy?
518
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,292
No he can't Iove. He's going
for a pint with us.
519
00:50:20,750 --> 00:50:22,917
-Oh, right, well...
-See you.
520
00:50:25,042 --> 00:50:28,625
That's all right, isn't it Andy?
Nice pint and a chat.
521
00:50:29,833 --> 00:50:32,458
We can taIk about
price of fish...
522
00:50:32,875 --> 00:50:34,833
plight of t'T hird WorId...
523
00:50:35,125 --> 00:50:37,625
pros and cons
of t'sweeper system...
524
00:50:37,792 --> 00:50:41,292
and why your bird's got management
Iogo on her key-ring.
525
00:50:51,750 --> 00:50:54,292
Still, it doesn't make her the
devil incarnate, does it?
526
00:50:54,458 --> 00:50:56,417
What does it make Andy here?
That's what I want to know.
527
00:50:56,583 --> 00:50:59,333
Lay off him, eh, Jim. He said he
didn't know.
528
00:50:59,917 --> 00:51:01,333
With legs like that round
your back...
529
00:51:01,500 --> 00:51:03,875
you don't stop and ask for
a reference, do you?
530
00:51:04,042 --> 00:51:06,417
-lt's a mistake anyone could've made.
-Aye...
531
00:51:06,583 --> 00:51:08,000
and by heII, we aIl wish we'd
made it.
532
00:51:08,167 --> 00:51:11,542
-This isn't funny.
-Nowt wrong with shagging management.
533
00:51:12,292 --> 00:51:14,250
They've been shagging
us long enough.
534
00:51:15,750 --> 00:51:18,458
Oh, don't tell me Andy. Itweren't
shagging...
535
00:51:18,792 --> 00:51:20,625
it were true love.
536
00:51:23,042 --> 00:51:26,417
-Are you pIaying, Andy?
-No. He's had enough fun for one week.
537
00:51:27,083 --> 00:51:28,583
I'm not a kid
anymore, Jim, right?
538
00:51:29,667 --> 00:51:30,542
Oh, aye?
539
00:51:31,458 --> 00:51:33,333
-OId enough to be a scab, then.
-Jim.
540
00:51:39,375 --> 00:51:41,042
lt's right, Andy,
he doesn't mean it.
541
00:51:41,208 --> 00:51:43,000
You don't mess around
with words Iike that.
542
00:51:43,167 --> 00:51:45,708
Aye, l'm sorry, Andy.
Take it back.
543
00:51:46,542 --> 00:51:48,292
You'rejust a stupid fucker.
544
00:51:51,417 --> 00:51:53,000
That's more Iike it.
545
00:52:01,125 --> 00:52:02,875
l'll catch you later, lads.
546
00:52:04,417 --> 00:52:05,917
Where are you off, then?
547
00:52:11,417 --> 00:52:15,583
HeIIo, kids.
My name's Mr ChuckIes.
548
00:52:15,750 --> 00:52:18,625
HeIIo, Mr Chuckles.
549
00:52:18,792 --> 00:52:20,333
-Now, do you like card tricks?
-Yeah.
550
00:52:20,500 --> 00:52:22,208
Will you heIp me with this
card trick?
551
00:52:22,375 --> 00:52:24,750
Come here, come here. Now,
what you have to do...
552
00:52:24,917 --> 00:52:27,375
is pick a card from there.
Don't let me see it.
553
00:52:27,542 --> 00:52:30,083
And show it to aII your friends so
that they can alI see it.
554
00:52:30,417 --> 00:52:32,625
Now put it back
anywhere you Iike.
555
00:52:33,167 --> 00:52:35,583
Tell me when you've
done it. Done it?
556
00:52:35,750 --> 00:52:38,083
Now l'm going to shuffle them aII up.
Did you see what the card was?
557
00:52:38,250 --> 00:52:43,083
Don't tell me.
The card was the Jack of Hearts.
558
00:52:43,250 --> 00:52:44,500
No.
559
00:52:45,458 --> 00:52:47,667
-Queen of Clubs?
-No.
560
00:52:47,833 --> 00:52:49,917
-What were it then?
-Ace of Spades.
561
00:52:50,083 --> 00:52:51,250
Correct!
562
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:55,083
AlI right now, Scott.
563
00:52:55,333 --> 00:52:58,875
I'm going to put your watch there and
l'm going to foId this over...
564
00:52:59,250 --> 00:53:05,083
Once, twice, three times, four.
Just Iike that. AII right.
565
00:53:05,917 --> 00:53:10,708
And, with this hammer, Scott,
l want you to give that watch...
566
00:53:10,875 --> 00:53:14,417
-a great big smack.
-No.
567
00:53:17,042 --> 00:53:20,500
When l say
the magic words, Scott.
568
00:53:22,958 --> 00:53:26,708
-This isn't your main job, is it?
-l'm a miner.
569
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,208
A miner?
570
00:53:31,958 --> 00:53:35,708
You remember them, Iove,
dinosaurs, dodos...
571
00:53:36,667 --> 00:53:37,833
miners.
572
00:53:52,375 --> 00:53:55,292
-Sorry Sandra, you're a bit short.
-How much?
573
00:53:55,500 --> 00:53:57,500
-One fitty.
-What's up with you?
574
00:53:57,667 --> 00:53:59,125
What's it to be?
575
00:53:59,625 --> 00:54:02,167
-What about them aeroplane things?
-What?
576
00:54:02,458 --> 00:54:05,792
-Them things with wings on?
-No, l need them.
577
00:54:07,875 --> 00:54:10,208
Here you are, Iove, put that back.
We'll use soap.
578
00:54:10,708 --> 00:54:14,583
Sorry, Vera. Me and sums, not what
you'd call the best of friends.
579
00:54:14,750 --> 00:54:16,833
Me and money, total frigging
strangers.
580
00:54:17,583 --> 00:54:19,250
Sorry Iove.
StilI need another sixty.
581
00:54:21,833 --> 00:54:24,458
l tell you what, give it us next
week, all right?
582
00:54:24,625 --> 00:54:25,458
Are you sure?
583
00:54:27,917 --> 00:54:29,250
Don't forget your receipt.
584
00:54:41,417 --> 00:54:42,875
-Come on.
-See you, love.
585
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:53,542
Get back in
here now with that.
586
00:54:53,708 --> 00:54:55,875
-Who do you think you bIeeding are?
-Get off.
587
00:54:56,833 --> 00:54:58,208
-Hey.
-Bastard.
588
00:55:00,708 --> 00:55:02,333
Come here, you bastards.
589
00:55:03,292 --> 00:55:05,083
What do you think
you're fucking doing?
590
00:55:05,250 --> 00:55:06,833
What do you think you're
fucking pIaying at?
591
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,083
l told you, pal. It's pay day.
592
00:55:13,500 --> 00:55:14,750
Yeah, aII right.
593
00:55:16,417 --> 00:55:17,333
Right.
594
00:55:19,125 --> 00:55:21,208
Just give us a
bit of time, eh?
595
00:55:21,750 --> 00:55:25,083
It's been ten years mate.
Pay day's pay day, pal.
596
00:55:25,667 --> 00:55:27,333
Especially when it's
tweIve grand.
597
00:55:27,500 --> 00:55:29,917
-Twelve?
-Aye, it's that interest, isn't it?
598
00:55:30,083 --> 00:55:31,875
-It's a bugger.
-Well, what about...
599
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,208
-Can you wait till twenty first?
-Twenty first?
600
00:55:36,375 --> 00:55:38,625
Oh, aye.
Coco the scab, eh?
601
00:55:40,667 --> 00:55:43,083
-We'll be back with truck.
-Truck? What for?
602
00:55:43,458 --> 00:55:44,375
Contents.
603
00:55:44,958 --> 00:55:46,500
Until you pay up, like.
604
00:55:52,500 --> 00:55:57,167
lf you touch my kids again,
l'll fucking kill you.
605
00:56:08,625 --> 00:56:10,875
What the frigging hell's this?
606
00:56:12,083 --> 00:56:15,292
lt's a frigging dent, that's
what it is.
607
00:56:18,208 --> 00:56:20,083
Andy Barrow lent it me.
608
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,833
He'lI go frigging barmy.
609
00:56:47,542 --> 00:56:51,375
-Hiya, Danny love. You welI?
-Oh, aye, can't complain, Betty.
610
00:56:51,542 --> 00:56:55,625
-What time do they announce result?
-About five-ish or summat, l think.
611
00:56:55,792 --> 00:56:58,917
-l didn't know you were that bothered.
-Whole town's bothered, Iove.
612
00:57:00,583 --> 00:57:02,167
Can't do without pit.
613
00:57:03,708 --> 00:57:06,500
l thought you were taIking
about Semi-Finals.
614
00:57:06,667 --> 00:57:09,042
Honest, Danny,
a day Iike today...
615
00:57:09,208 --> 00:57:12,167
You think anyone's interested in
some daft football match?
616
00:57:17,167 --> 00:57:17,917
AlI right, love?
617
00:57:18,083 --> 00:57:20,750
That's it. You bugger off and blow
your bloody trumpet.
618
00:57:20,917 --> 00:57:22,792
BIimey, a conversation.
619
00:57:23,958 --> 00:57:26,208
Harry, in a month's time when you're
at home all day and there's ...
620
00:57:26,375 --> 00:57:30,083
nowt but doIe coming in, at Ieast
l can know that I did summat.
621
00:57:30,500 --> 00:57:33,750
It weren't much, but it were best l
could do and at least it were summat.
622
00:57:33,917 --> 00:57:35,292
What are you on about?
623
00:57:37,667 --> 00:57:41,958
Ten years ago before the strike,
you were so fuIl of fight.
624
00:57:42,417 --> 00:57:44,458
Packed fuII of passion,
you were.
625
00:57:45,833 --> 00:57:48,125
Now you just do nowt.
626
00:57:49,292 --> 00:57:52,375
AII you do is blow your bIoody
trumpet.
627
00:57:52,833 --> 00:57:54,292
Aye, but at least...
628
00:57:56,250 --> 00:57:57,583
At least what?
629
00:57:59,583 --> 00:58:01,125
People listen to us.
630
00:58:06,208 --> 00:58:07,833
Go on, sod off.
631
00:58:14,583 --> 00:58:17,000
And it's
a bloody euphonium.
632
00:58:21,750 --> 00:58:26,125
You know, l can't tell a Iie. I were
never one for brass bands before.
633
00:58:26,875 --> 00:58:31,125
But when you hear that sound, when
you're near that sound...
634
00:58:31,875 --> 00:58:35,583
-doesn't haIf grab you, doesn't it?
-Aye, it does that.
635
00:58:36,458 --> 00:58:41,292
But you know, folk like Danny,
it's taken over their Iives.
636
00:58:41,875 --> 00:58:43,917
I'd never Iet that happen.
637
00:58:51,375 --> 00:58:53,625
-Gorgeous.
-Oh, yeah.
638
00:58:56,208 --> 00:58:57,417
AII right, Bernard.
639
00:59:00,250 --> 00:59:01,625
-Jim, Ernie.
-Danny.
640
00:59:08,458 --> 00:59:10,042
-Hi, Danny.
-Hello, Danny.
641
00:59:11,583 --> 00:59:15,375
BIoody helI. Hi, Harry.
Make an effort, Andy.
642
00:59:19,458 --> 00:59:22,250
BIoody helI, son.
What's happened to you?
643
00:59:22,417 --> 00:59:23,708
Sorry, Dad.
644
00:59:24,583 --> 00:59:27,583
-Bit of a domestic, Iike.
-But you know this is a special...
645
00:59:29,833 --> 00:59:32,000
Sandra did that?
To you?
646
00:59:32,917 --> 00:59:33,750
No.
647
00:59:38,542 --> 00:59:40,708
Go on, get on t'bus.
Get it cIeaned up.
648
00:59:42,833 --> 00:59:45,417
Bang goes the Deportment Prize,
any road.
649
01:00:01,625 --> 01:00:05,708
We're going to win this one. Look.
Your Phil's got a new trombone.
650
01:00:10,333 --> 01:00:11,500
We off, then?
651
01:00:12,417 --> 01:00:15,500
AII right, StanIey.
Halifax here we come.
652
01:01:09,750 --> 01:01:13,042
Shift, wiII you? Stop fighting
aII the time.
653
01:01:14,833 --> 01:01:19,333
Votes for redundancy.
Seven hundred and ninety-eight.
654
01:05:00,208 --> 01:05:04,708
The winners, with 194 points,
"The Grimley Colliery Band" .
655
01:05:46,667 --> 01:05:47,500
Harry.
656
01:05:49,042 --> 01:05:50,208
Rita, Iove.
657
01:05:52,167 --> 01:05:54,208
Fourto one against,
it went.
658
01:05:56,208 --> 01:05:58,000
Four to one, Harry.
659
01:06:07,792 --> 01:06:08,625
Still...
660
01:06:10,625 --> 01:06:12,667
see a bit more of
each other now.
661
01:06:21,792 --> 01:06:22,708
Dad?
662
01:06:31,750 --> 01:06:33,375
Oh, Jesus Christ.
663
01:06:34,917 --> 01:06:37,375
Will someone get
an ambuIance, quick!
664
01:06:38,333 --> 01:06:40,375
Hurry, he can't breathe.
665
01:06:40,542 --> 01:06:43,000
-Just back off, wiII you?
-Don't crowd him.
666
01:06:45,625 --> 01:06:48,958
-Come on, breathe for me.
-Someone call for that ambuIance?
667
01:06:49,167 --> 01:06:51,292
Come on,
I've got you. Phil's here.
668
01:06:52,208 --> 01:06:54,333
Come on,
hurry up, wiII you?
669
01:07:00,708 --> 01:07:01,875
How is he, Phil?
670
01:07:02,500 --> 01:07:05,167
I don't know.
He hasn't woke up yet.
671
01:07:06,375 --> 01:07:09,625
They just said there'd be more
news tomorrow.
672
01:07:09,833 --> 01:07:12,375
Right. We're just having
a colIection for him.
673
01:07:16,917 --> 01:07:18,292
You stilI here, love?
674
01:07:19,292 --> 01:07:21,083
I reckon it's got to be ta-ra now,
don't you?
675
01:07:33,833 --> 01:07:37,250
l'm on your side.
l always was.
676
01:07:47,833 --> 01:07:49,000
Andy?
677
01:07:56,833 --> 01:07:58,000
Andy.
678
01:08:03,875 --> 01:08:04,958
Phil, Iad.
679
01:08:09,333 --> 01:08:13,167
Not flowers, all right, Jim.
Not grapes.
680
01:08:14,167 --> 01:08:16,208
Get him summat he wants, eh?
681
01:08:19,500 --> 01:08:22,333
You sure about this, Andy mate?
What about t'finals?
682
01:08:26,083 --> 01:08:27,625
What finaIs?
683
01:08:42,667 --> 01:08:45,500
Andy, l don't
want to faII out, mate.
684
01:08:46,292 --> 01:08:48,167
You're me main
source of income.
685
01:08:48,750 --> 01:08:52,542
Don't worry, Simmo. l've lost more
this week than a bloody trumpet.
686
01:09:04,667 --> 01:09:05,750
Sandra?
687
01:09:06,958 --> 01:09:09,375
They came.
Took bloody lot.
688
01:09:09,792 --> 01:09:13,083
-I warned you, Phil.
-Oh, Sand, no. I...
689
01:09:13,708 --> 01:09:14,750
Look don't ...
690
01:09:16,500 --> 01:09:17,625
Not now.
691
01:09:18,458 --> 01:09:22,125
Seems as good a time as any. What
with there being nowhere to sit.
692
01:09:23,167 --> 01:09:25,042
Dad's coIIapsed.
693
01:09:25,958 --> 01:09:27,333
Aye, I heard.
694
01:09:30,208 --> 01:09:31,583
l'm sorry, PhiI.
695
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:15,583
Oh, you fuckers.
696
01:10:28,042 --> 01:10:30,250
-Sandra?
<-Phil? Harry.
697
01:10:31,375 --> 01:10:33,708
Are you set for one
finaI performance?
698
01:10:50,417 --> 01:10:51,917
What on earth?
699
01:11:45,250 --> 01:11:48,542
Nurse, go down there at once
and get rid of them.
700
01:11:48,708 --> 01:11:50,333
Leave them be.
701
01:11:52,417 --> 01:11:56,458
-Mr Ormondroyd, how are you feeling?
-Death's door.
702
01:11:57,583 --> 01:12:01,625
-The bastards still take the piss.
-Yes, l am sorry about this racket.
703
01:12:01,792 --> 01:12:04,542
-We'll stop it, don't worry.
-Stop this racket?
704
01:12:04,708 --> 01:12:06,917
You'll wake up
in the next ward.
705
01:12:41,167 --> 01:12:43,458
ls it going Iike
shit off a shoveI?
706
01:12:44,833 --> 01:12:48,167
lf by that you mean fast,
yes it is, rather.
707
01:12:51,167 --> 01:12:53,708
lt always does when they pIay
this one.
708
01:14:07,167 --> 01:14:09,417
Message from
Mr Ormondroyd.
709
01:14:10,250 --> 01:14:12,333
-He's awake?
-Yeah.
710
01:14:12,708 --> 01:14:15,042
He says tenor
horn's too soft.
711
01:14:23,458 --> 01:14:27,417
Phil Iad, I reckon it'd be best
coming from you.
712
01:14:28,125 --> 01:14:32,333
About us packing in.
Not going to t'finals.
713
01:14:38,375 --> 01:14:41,792
You shouIdn't have, you know, Iads.
ReaIIy. ShouId've brought me...
714
01:14:41,958 --> 01:14:44,042
flowers or summat.
715
01:14:44,208 --> 01:14:47,958
Grapes. I could murder a
bunch of grapes.
716
01:14:53,292 --> 01:14:57,875
-BIoody hell.
-Right thank you. The concert's over.
717
01:14:58,042 --> 01:15:00,333
lt's past eIeven
and Mr Ormondroyd...
718
01:15:00,500 --> 01:15:02,958
must have some sleep. Thank you.
-See you, Danny.
719
01:15:03,125 --> 01:15:06,708
And I'd prefer any future visits to
be made in visiting hours...
720
01:15:07,042 --> 01:15:10,583
-preferably without trumpets.
-lt's a euphonium.
721
01:15:11,167 --> 01:15:13,542
Hey lads,
sounded good, mind...
722
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:18,583
Out there. Keep playing Iike that and
we'lI murder them at bloody finals.
723
01:15:23,500 --> 01:15:24,792
TelI him.
724
01:15:36,208 --> 01:15:38,292
You in a bit of trouble, son?
725
01:15:39,250 --> 01:15:43,167
-It's nowt, Dad.
-You seem a bit upset, Iike.
726
01:15:43,917 --> 01:15:45,417
Of course I'm upset.
727
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:49,833
-Me old man's poorly.
-Aye, well...
728
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,375
we'll both get
over that, won't we?
729
01:15:56,625 --> 01:15:58,333
Nice bit of brass.
730
01:15:59,042 --> 01:16:00,875
Cheap, yeah?
731
01:16:04,167 --> 01:16:05,792
Ta, son, anyway.
732
01:16:10,792 --> 01:16:13,333
It matters, you know,
that trombone.
733
01:16:14,083 --> 01:16:15,875
-To me, any road.
-Aye.
734
01:16:28,083 --> 01:16:31,042
I'd best be off, eh? Let you
get some shut-eye.
735
01:16:31,208 --> 01:16:32,292
Aye.
736
01:16:33,042 --> 01:16:37,333
Say hello to Sandra and kids for me.
-Yeah, they said, getwell.
737
01:16:38,125 --> 01:16:42,500
l were alongside Arthur Mullins every
day of his working life...
738
01:16:42,667 --> 01:16:45,083
-When they cut him open...
-Dad, don't .
739
01:16:45,250 --> 01:16:47,750
They say when they opened up his
Iungs, there were...
740
01:16:47,917 --> 01:16:52,208
nowt in there but coal dust.
SIack. SIack everywhere.
741
01:16:53,542 --> 01:16:56,083
-Took them a week to get t'slab clean.
-Dad...
742
01:16:58,583 --> 01:17:00,250
You'll be all right.
743
01:17:00,667 --> 01:17:03,375
Are you going to tell me lies
all bloody night?
744
01:17:08,500 --> 01:17:09,625
No.
745
01:17:10,917 --> 01:17:13,333
You're right, son.
You're right.
746
01:17:13,708 --> 01:17:17,792
Go on, be off with you. I'll be out
of here in time for t'finaI.
747
01:17:24,125 --> 01:17:25,792
One way or the other.
748
01:18:00,667 --> 01:18:02,750
...different after recent events.
749
01:18:03,167 --> 01:18:07,000
Just thought l'd bring you the
viabiIity study.
750
01:18:10,958 --> 01:18:12,833
Ah, right. Yes.
751
01:18:13,375 --> 01:18:15,250
Put it there. Thank you.
752
01:18:16,667 --> 01:18:20,458
So, Frank, you're going down to
Stainly Tuesday and coming back...
753
01:18:21,958 --> 01:18:26,750
-Will you be reading it?
-It wouId've been very valuabIe...
754
01:18:26,917 --> 01:18:30,458
if the GrimIey miners had decided
to go to a review, but...
755
01:18:31,292 --> 01:18:32,750
as you know, sadly...
756
01:18:32,917 --> 01:18:35,833
You made them an offer they
couIdn't refuse.
757
01:18:36,458 --> 01:18:38,125
None of this is simpIe.
758
01:18:39,167 --> 01:18:43,208
I'lI tell you some facts as I see
them and you tell me if l'm wrong.
759
01:18:43,375 --> 01:18:45,667
-Miss MuIIins.
-One: I write reports...
760
01:18:45,833 --> 01:18:47,833
that no-one will ever read. They
have to be seen to be written...
761
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,625
but they're not written to be
seen. Two..
762
01:18:50,875 --> 01:18:54,625
Grimley is, was a profitabIe
pit, says so in here.
763
01:18:55,250 --> 01:18:58,667
Three: the decision to close it
wasn't made today...
764
01:18:58,833 --> 01:19:00,958
-it was made weeks ago.
-Wrong.
765
01:19:02,708 --> 01:19:04,125
2 years ago.
766
01:19:11,500 --> 01:19:15,042
Coal, is history, Miss MulIins.
767
01:19:37,875 --> 01:19:39,958
l'll catch you later, lads.
768
01:19:56,625 --> 01:19:59,708
Look for years, bloody years, nowt
good's ever happened to me.
769
01:20:00,208 --> 01:20:04,125
Only reason l'd get up was to see if
me Iuck'd changed, but it never has.
770
01:20:04,750 --> 01:20:07,750
lt was just beginning to get worse,
with pit cIosing, losing me job...
771
01:20:07,917 --> 01:20:11,042
and then what happens?
Gloria Mullins...
772
01:20:12,125 --> 01:20:15,042
love of me bloody Iife,
walks into practice hall.
773
01:20:15,208 --> 01:20:17,250
BIoody heII, l thought, maybe
Iife's not so bad.
774
01:20:17,667 --> 01:20:20,792
But is it buggery. She's onIy
fucking management.
775
01:20:20,958 --> 01:20:23,042
And now that's what you've
been doing.
776
01:20:24,583 --> 01:20:26,833
Yeah, well let's just call that
sIeeping with the enemy.
777
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,042
l'm not the enemy.
l'm like you.
778
01:20:32,333 --> 01:20:33,792
UnempIoyed.
779
01:20:36,125 --> 01:20:38,125
l told them to stuff it.
780
01:20:41,083 --> 01:20:46,292
-You off back down south, then?
-WeII, hardly welcome here.
781
01:20:46,667 --> 01:20:50,250
Reckon they aII know now,
you were only trying to heIp.
782
01:20:51,125 --> 01:20:54,625
Thing is if heIp comes to summat then
you're a hero. lf it comes to nowt...
783
01:20:55,417 --> 01:20:57,125
you're just
another meddIer.
784
01:20:58,125 --> 01:20:59,917
And is that what you reckon?
785
01:21:02,208 --> 01:21:05,042
l reckon your heart's in the right
place, but...
786
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:07,542
you never did owt
to prove it.
787
01:21:12,250 --> 01:21:14,250
l'll say ta-ra, then.
788
01:21:37,292 --> 01:21:39,750
Summat good'lI
happen soon, Andy.
789
01:21:40,708 --> 01:21:42,167
Hope it's at Albert Hall.
790
01:21:42,833 --> 01:21:45,042
Doubt it somehow.
We're not going.
791
01:21:46,250 --> 01:21:48,417
-What?
-They worked it out.
792
01:21:48,583 --> 01:21:50,667
lt'd cost three
grand or summat.
793
01:21:52,250 --> 01:21:55,542
No, the band's dead.
lt died with everything else.
794
01:22:22,500 --> 01:22:23,708
Harry.
795
01:22:25,875 --> 01:22:27,500
-AII right, Ernie.
-Aye.
796
01:22:34,292 --> 01:22:35,458
Jim.
797
01:22:36,708 --> 01:22:37,875
AII right.
798
01:22:41,083 --> 01:22:43,917
-AlI right, PhiI?
-AlI right, Andy Iad?
799
01:22:44,917 --> 01:22:48,167
-Owt in?
-There's a machinist wanted.
800
01:22:49,083 --> 01:22:51,958
-You any good at button stitching?
-l'll take anything.
801
01:22:52,583 --> 01:22:54,833
WeII, thank Christ
l found you. Look.
802
01:22:59,542 --> 01:23:00,833
How's your dad?
803
01:23:04,500 --> 01:23:06,458
How'd he take
it about us packing in?
804
01:23:09,583 --> 01:23:11,917
Phil, come on. You've got to
tell him you know.
805
01:23:12,625 --> 01:23:15,417
-l mean, before t'final.
-l'm going to. I'm going to.
806
01:23:16,625 --> 01:23:18,917
-There's a while yet, isn't there?
-Saturday.
807
01:23:27,708 --> 01:23:29,833
I'm afraid
l've got some bad news.
808
01:23:30,250 --> 01:23:34,625
Sandra and the kids? l heard about
that. Don't fret, they'II be back.
809
01:23:37,625 --> 01:23:41,208
-Dad...
-Just one day. They won't let me out.
810
01:23:41,375 --> 01:23:43,625
For one sodding day.
811
01:23:48,500 --> 01:23:52,000
-Dad, look...
-Might as well give these to Harry.
812
01:23:53,750 --> 01:23:55,250
Wish him good luck.
813
01:23:56,583 --> 01:23:58,458
l was up alI night doing them.
814
01:23:59,333 --> 01:24:00,375
Aye.
815
01:24:02,500 --> 01:24:03,667
Right.
816
01:24:25,208 --> 01:24:27,125
Harvest FestivaI.
817
01:24:28,333 --> 01:24:31,583
To tell you the truth, l don't know
too much about Harvest Festival.
818
01:24:32,500 --> 01:24:35,500
But l do know
a story about God.
819
01:24:37,625 --> 01:24:40,042
So God was creating Man,
aIl right?
820
01:24:40,333 --> 01:24:42,250
And his Iittle assistant came
up to him...
821
01:24:42,417 --> 01:24:45,542
and he said: "hey, we've got all
these bodies Ieft...
822
01:24:45,708 --> 01:24:48,583
but we're right out of brains, we're
right out of hearts...
823
01:24:48,750 --> 01:24:51,167
and we're right
out of vocal chords".
824
01:24:51,333 --> 01:24:54,500
And God said "Fuck it.
Sew 'em up anyway.
825
01:24:54,667 --> 01:24:57,542
Smack smiles on their faces and make
them taIk out their arses" .
826
01:24:57,708 --> 01:25:02,375
-And lo, God created the Tory party.
-Come on.
827
01:25:02,542 --> 01:25:05,042
-May God forgive you.
-God?
828
01:25:05,542 --> 01:25:09,000
Oh, aye. Now
there's a fella...
829
01:25:10,750 --> 01:25:12,583
I mean, what's
he doing, eh?
830
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,083
He can take
John Lennon...
831
01:25:16,917 --> 01:25:19,750
He can take those three young lads
down at Ainsley Pit.
832
01:25:20,458 --> 01:25:22,875
He's even thinking of taking
my old man.
833
01:25:23,042 --> 01:25:26,083
And Margaret bloody
Thatcher Iives?
834
01:25:27,125 --> 01:25:29,792
l mean, what's he
sodding pIaying at?
835
01:25:38,042 --> 01:25:42,375
You've been great.
My name's Coco the Scab.
836
01:25:43,250 --> 01:25:44,500
Goodnight.
837
01:25:55,417 --> 01:25:58,083
Grandad? What's grandad got
to do with it?
838
01:25:58,250 --> 01:26:01,417
Dad said when people are as poorly
as grandad is...
839
01:26:01,583 --> 01:26:04,000
you've got to do speciaI things
for them.
840
01:26:04,167 --> 01:26:07,458
Shane Iove, your dad didn't buy
trombone for your grandad.
841
01:26:07,625 --> 01:26:09,542
He bought it for himself.
842
01:26:09,708 --> 01:26:13,917
He said grandad's gonna die. But at
Ieast Dad getting a trombone...
843
01:26:14,083 --> 01:26:16,833
is gonna make him die happy.
That's what he said.
844
01:26:20,833 --> 01:26:24,250
-Mam?
-What, love?
845
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,250
How the hell
do you die happy?
846
01:26:28,917 --> 01:26:31,667
Oh, we'lI find a way.
847
01:26:33,375 --> 01:26:35,833
l don't Iike seeing
Dad sad, Mam.
848
01:26:38,208 --> 01:26:41,667
But I'd sooner see him sad
than not see him at all.
849
01:26:49,208 --> 01:26:51,583
-HeIp.
-What's that, for fuck's sake?
850
01:26:51,750 --> 01:26:54,375
-HeIp.
-What is it?
851
01:26:56,708 --> 01:26:58,667
Jesus Christ.
852
01:27:18,833 --> 01:27:20,000
Philip?
853
01:27:26,917 --> 01:27:28,000
l mean...
854
01:27:28,833 --> 01:27:31,292
What the bloody heII were you
playing at, lad?
855
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:34,083
You Iost your marbles?
856
01:27:35,208 --> 01:27:37,417
Maybe.
I've lost everything eIse.
857
01:27:38,125 --> 01:27:40,125
Wife, kids, house...
858
01:27:40,708 --> 01:27:42,958
Job, self-respect...
859
01:27:43,917 --> 01:27:45,083
Hope.
860
01:27:46,708 --> 01:27:49,000
But then, that's
nowt is it, Dad?
861
01:27:50,667 --> 01:27:53,417
Because it's music
that matters.
862
01:27:57,208 --> 01:27:59,333
The band's packed in,
anyway.
863
01:28:07,250 --> 01:28:09,083
Oh, bloody heII, PhiI.
864
01:28:13,292 --> 01:28:14,958
Is this man bothering you?
865
01:28:17,875 --> 01:28:20,083
Course he is,
he's me dad.
866
01:28:42,458 --> 01:28:44,000
-Phil?
-Phil Iad?
867
01:28:45,458 --> 01:28:47,917
-Are you aII right?
-What are you up to?
868
01:28:48,667 --> 01:28:51,500
Feeding the fucking ducks,
what's it look like?
869
01:28:52,667 --> 01:28:54,250
We heard about, er...
870
01:28:57,042 --> 01:28:59,500
We were on our way to hospital
to see you.
871
01:28:59,708 --> 01:29:00,958
Hey, and your dad.
872
01:29:01,167 --> 01:29:04,167
He'd be dead chuffed
with a visit from you lot.
873
01:29:04,500 --> 01:29:08,875
I tell you, if he were up and about,
we'd all be in intensive bloody care.
874
01:29:09,625 --> 01:29:11,000
Oh, right.
You told him.
875
01:29:12,667 --> 01:29:14,625
Maybe we'll visit him
next week then.
876
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:17,708
You coming for a
pint, mate?
877
01:29:18,750 --> 01:29:21,042
Drink with scabs, do you?
878
01:29:22,958 --> 01:29:26,708
l voted for t'money,
you know that?
879
01:29:34,417 --> 01:29:38,250
Come on PhiI. Stop being a drama
queen. Come and have a wet with us.
880
01:29:38,458 --> 01:29:42,292
Anyway, there's enough bloody
rubbish in this canaI already.
881
01:29:51,750 --> 01:29:53,792
Hejust shook his head.
882
01:29:56,125 --> 01:29:58,500
Can't telI you.
lt were like...
883
01:30:00,667 --> 01:30:03,083
lights just went out.
884
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:08,750
I mean, there he is
coughing up coal...
885
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,667
and aII we can do is
break his bloody heart.
886
01:30:15,083 --> 01:30:17,208
Poor sod's got nowt left
to Iive for.
887
01:30:30,250 --> 01:30:32,542
-Can I get you a drink?
-No, it's aII right.
888
01:30:33,458 --> 01:30:36,792
l just wanted to show
you summat.
889
01:30:40,333 --> 01:30:43,833
New bank account.
Grimley Brass Band.
890
01:30:44,083 --> 01:30:46,042
There's three
grand in there.
891
01:30:46,208 --> 01:30:48,250
lf nowt else, it'll get you to
Albert HaII.
892
01:30:49,167 --> 01:30:50,625
This your money?
893
01:30:51,833 --> 01:30:55,083
I don't want it.
lt's dirty money.
894
01:30:55,750 --> 01:30:58,000
l'd prefer it to be brass.
895
01:30:58,542 --> 01:31:00,167
Must be awfuI, love...
896
01:31:00,333 --> 01:31:02,750
having that much guiIt you've got
to buy your way out of it.
897
01:31:06,417 --> 01:31:09,500
Jim, l'm just doing what l was
aIways doing.
898
01:31:10,958 --> 01:31:16,458
Meddling. Difference is this
time we've not lost before we start.
899
01:31:23,750 --> 01:31:25,833
And you'd want to pIay
with us, yeah?
900
01:31:27,792 --> 01:31:29,583
l'm not doing
this for me.
901
01:31:30,542 --> 01:31:32,083
l'm doing it for you.
902
01:31:33,833 --> 01:31:35,208
And Danny.
903
01:31:49,667 --> 01:31:51,542
I hope you budgeted for booze.
904
01:31:55,792 --> 01:31:57,667
Danny'd want us
to win, wouIdn't he?
905
01:31:57,875 --> 01:32:00,208
We're not going to win without
a flaming flugel, are we?
906
01:32:07,042 --> 01:32:10,333
Simmo, you haven't fIogged it,
have you?
907
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:13,292
Right, your horn
plays my twenty.
908
01:32:14,500 --> 01:32:15,500
What?
909
01:32:17,083 --> 01:32:18,792
AII right, bastard, thirty.
910
01:32:19,917 --> 01:32:21,000
Okay.
911
01:32:22,542 --> 01:32:25,000
-Yes. He's missed.
-Come on.
912
01:32:25,208 --> 01:32:27,875
-Come on, Andy.
-Come on Andy son. Go on, go on, son.
913
01:32:28,042 --> 01:32:29,917
Take your time.
914
01:32:36,042 --> 01:32:37,583
Bollock brain.
915
01:32:45,667 --> 01:32:47,625
You jammy git.
916
01:32:48,375 --> 01:32:49,792
WeII done, Andy.
917
01:32:52,250 --> 01:32:54,833
l said no, Mr Ormondroyd,
he's asleep.
918
01:32:55,042 --> 01:32:57,333
Most people are at two
in the morning.
919
01:32:58,500 --> 01:33:02,083
Leave a message. He'll get it the
moment he wakes up, all right?
920
01:34:53,125 --> 01:34:55,625
Least it'll give them more
energy won't it?
921
01:35:22,542 --> 01:35:25,750
Brighouse and Rustrick Band,
you have two minutes.
922
01:35:27,083 --> 01:35:29,292
Brighouse and Rustrick,
two minutes.
923
01:35:40,417 --> 01:35:43,458
Grimley ColIiery, you
have two minutes.
924
01:35:44,958 --> 01:35:47,750
Grimley Colliery,
two minutes.
925
01:35:47,917 --> 01:35:51,875
By heII, I bet she's glad they've
closed the bugger.
926
01:35:52,042 --> 01:35:54,583
Okay, Iads. Let's do it.
927
01:35:54,958 --> 01:35:58,792
For a thousand redundant miners
and one poorly one.
928
01:35:59,333 --> 01:36:01,250
-Let's do it
-Right.
929
01:36:03,708 --> 01:36:07,125
Nurse, quickIy. It's Mr Ormondroyd.
He's gone.
930
01:40:05,458 --> 01:40:09,167
First prize and Champions of
Great Britain...
931
01:40:10,250 --> 01:40:12,917
Grimley Colliery Band.
932
01:40:39,750 --> 01:40:44,000
This band behind me wiII tell you
that trophy means more to me than...
933
01:40:44,167 --> 01:40:45,792
owt eIse in the whole world.
934
01:40:47,625 --> 01:40:51,333
But they'd be wrong. Truth is,
l thought it mattered...
935
01:40:51,792 --> 01:40:54,042
I thought that music mattered...
936
01:40:55,208 --> 01:40:59,167
But does it bolIocks. Not compared
to how people matter.
937
01:40:59,750 --> 01:41:03,125
Us winning this trophy won't mean
bugger aII to most people.
938
01:41:03,292 --> 01:41:06,333
But us refusing it, like what
we're going to do now...
939
01:41:06,750 --> 01:41:08,458
well then it becomes news,
doesn't it?
940
01:41:11,042 --> 01:41:12,500
You see what I mean.
941
01:41:12,875 --> 01:41:15,417
That way l'll not just be taIking
to myself, will l?
942
01:41:15,750 --> 01:41:18,500
Because over the last ten years,
this bloody government...
943
01:41:18,667 --> 01:41:21,667
has systematically destroyed
an entire industry.
944
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:24,958
Our industry. And not just our
industry.
945
01:41:25,125 --> 01:41:28,125
Our communities, our homes,
our lives.
946
01:41:28,500 --> 01:41:32,083
AII in the name of progress and
for a few lousy bob.
947
01:41:32,667 --> 01:41:35,875
l'll teIl you something else you
might not know. A fortnight ago...
948
01:41:36,292 --> 01:41:38,125
this band's pit were closed.
949
01:41:38,292 --> 01:41:41,875
Another thousand men Iost their jobs.
And that's not all they lost.
950
01:41:42,208 --> 01:41:44,958
Most of them Iost the wiII to win
a whiIe ago.
951
01:41:45,250 --> 01:41:47,542
A few of them even lost
the wiII to fight.
952
01:41:47,708 --> 01:41:48,792
But...
953
01:41:50,250 --> 01:41:54,792
When it comes to Iosing the will
to live, to breathe...
954
01:41:56,208 --> 01:41:57,500
point is...
955
01:41:58,625 --> 01:42:01,458
if this lot were seals or whaIes,
you'd be up in bloody arms.
956
01:42:01,625 --> 01:42:05,625
But they're not. They'rejust
ordinary, common or garden...
957
01:42:05,792 --> 01:42:09,458
honest, decent human beings.
And not one of them...
958
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:12,375
with an ounce
of bloody hope Ieft.
959
01:42:15,917 --> 01:42:18,417
They can knock out
a bloody good tune.
960
01:42:19,333 --> 01:42:21,542
But what the fuck
does that matter?
961
01:42:32,958 --> 01:42:35,958
Now I'm going to take my boys
out onto the town.
962
01:42:37,292 --> 01:42:38,542
Thank you.
963
01:43:22,083 --> 01:43:24,750
-Are you coming back, Sand?
-I dunno.
964
01:43:25,917 --> 01:43:27,708
l've got a chair now.
965
01:43:28,625 --> 01:43:31,125
l've no frigging house,
but l've got a chair.
966
01:43:31,667 --> 01:43:34,125
Well, sort of a chair.
967
01:43:34,417 --> 01:43:36,458
lt aIl sounds very tempting.
968
01:43:40,542 --> 01:43:41,667
AlI right?
969
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:44,542
ls that a thankyou?
970
01:43:45,250 --> 01:43:46,875
More than that.
971
01:43:47,042 --> 01:43:49,208
l've never known him gush
Iike that before.
972
01:43:49,375 --> 01:43:53,542
Aye, weII I suppose that's what
Yorkshiremen are famous for.
973
01:43:54,125 --> 01:43:56,250
Not showing their feeIings.
974
01:43:57,417 --> 01:43:58,458
Aye.
975
01:44:06,750 --> 01:44:09,000
l'm not going
to show mine, either.
976
01:44:17,042 --> 01:44:19,000
All right then,
lads and Iassies.
977
01:44:19,417 --> 01:44:22,083
Land of Hope
and bloody Glory, eh?
