Poldark was about mines & a great series it was too.

Does Alf Garnet count? He used to refer to the Welsh as "Pit Props". But my Jones surname did not keep me from laughing.

Many thanks to all those who have replied some very interesting titles mentioned, i have also remembered the film Crucible Of Terror (1971) featured Mines, i have got some photographs of Katy Manning (Jo Grant) and Richard Franklin (Captain Mike Yates) with me and my mum in the photographs as well which were taken at The Television And Movie Store in Norwich in January this year, i have also got quite a lot of other Doctor Who photographs which were taken at The Television And Movie Store in Norwich which i will hopefully scan soon and then post on Brit Movie.
catch me if you can, hunt me if you dare!

I was thinking about starting a similar thread.

Which films and tv programmes (other than Dr Who) feature Welsh mines? Preferably set before 1900. Any recommendations?
Best wishes.

Nice! I love listening to Katy Manning's commentary on the Pertwee dvds. She's a character.

October Sky (WOS) - the true story of Homer Hickam. (No, I hadn't heard of him either). Great film with Chris Cooper and Jake Gyllenhaaaallll - never sure how to spell that.

How about 'The Brave Don't Cry' a Group 3 production from 1952 with John Gregson. It's about time they started issuing these non-comedy group 3s, they're good!
