# Yet what force on Earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one? | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
# But the union makes us strong | 0:00:47 | 0:00:52 | |

REPORTER ON TV: 'With the strike now entering its fourth month, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
'the Government today insisted that it will push ahead | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
'with plans to close 20 pits with the loss of over 20,000 jobs, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
'an action that Mr Scargill says will destroy entire communities. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
-ARTHUR SCARGILL: -'You can look back in ten years | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
'and you can say, "In 1984, I was proud and privileged | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
'"to be a party to the greatest struggle on earth."' | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
I left my number. Just in case. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
Everything's at stake for me. I'm 27 year old. Right? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
-Maybe see you on the march, then? -I'm fighting for their jobs. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
'We've used us savings up, we've no money left. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
'All we've got now is us pride and self-respect | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
'and we'll carry on keeping that. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:49 | |
REPORTER: 'The Prime Minister today defended her position. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |

'One isn't here to be a softie. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
'You're here to be a good, firm leader.' | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Mark, want to play ball? | 0:02:08 | 0:02:09 | |
Tomorrow, buddy. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Here you go, Mark. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
Great. Thanks. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:13 | |
I've spoken to the council about your deviant parties. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
There's no need to do that. Just knock on the door. We'd let you in. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
They're sending a policeman. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
Oh, I do hope so. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
Mark? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
Thanks. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |

WHISTLES BLOW | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
MARCHERS CHANT: Two, four, six, eight! | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
Is that copper really straight? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
Two, four, six, eight! Is that copper really straight? | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
Two, four, six, eight! Is that copper really straight? | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
Two, four, six, eight! Is that copper really straight? | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
Two, four, six, eight... | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
ANGRY SHOUTS | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
Oi, grab hold of this, will you, mate? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
Oh, no, sorry. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
Just for five minutes, till me friends get here. Come on. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
It... It's just that I don't really want to be too visible. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
Is it your first Pride? | 0:03:37 | 0:03:38 | |
Yeah, first anything. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
Yeah, well, this is the best way. You need to throw yourself in. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
The thing is, I'm actually from Bromley. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
Well, don't worry about that, we're a broad church. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
No, it's the train. It's further out than people think, and... | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
Oi, I've been dragging this thing on me own | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
since Marble Arch. What are they, buckets? | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
Surprised you have to ask, coming from Accrington. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
-Anything get rid of love bites? -No. Where's Mark? -Listen up, everyone. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
Where exactly have you been? | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
Everyone take a bucket and start rattling. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
-This is for the miners. -Miners? | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
We agreed on a banner, Mark. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:04 | |
It's a show of solidarity. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
Who hates the miners? Thatcher. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:07 | |
Who else? The police, | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
-the public and the tabloid press. That sound familiar? -Surely, Mark... | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
The only problem we've got that they haven't is Mary Whitehouse. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
And that can only be a matter of time. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
-Mark... -I know, it's not been planned. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:17 | |
It's not been thought through. But it's a good idea, isn't it? | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
Isn't it? | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
What am I supposed to do with this? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
Give it to the lesbians. They love a banner. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
Oh, for God's sake. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
Right, looks like you're off the hook, mate. Good lad. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
Whatever Mark says, we do it. Don't ask me why. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
-Disgusting. -Yes. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
We're collecting for the miners and their families, guys. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
Gays and lesbians support the miners and their families. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
COINS CLINK I was wondering, do you need a hand? | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
Well, well, if it isn't Bromley. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
I mean, my last train is actually not for ages. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
Gays and lesbians support the miners. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
Gays and lesbians support the miners. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
Gays and lesbians support the miners. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
-..support the miners. -Guys, support the miners. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
Gays and lesbians support the miners. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
Collecting for the miners. Dig deep. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
-Support the miners. -Come on. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
Support the miners! Support the miners! | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
It's just a couple of the lads from college | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
and one of them lives in Chislehurst. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
So he can't be too late, either. I've got my key. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
Just mind yourself on that last train. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
There's weirdos and all sorts on there. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
Thanks, Mum. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
MUSIC: What Difference Does It Make? by the Smiths | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
# It makes none But now you have gone | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
# And you must be looking very old tonight | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
# The devil will find work for idle hands to do | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
# I stole and I lied and why? Because you asked me to | 0:06:10 | 0:06:16 | |
# But now you make me feel so ashamed... # | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
Oi, Bromley. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
Over here. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:21 | |
I'm hiding from that girl. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
Why? | 0:06:29 | 0:06:30 | |
She broke my heart at a Smiths concert. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
I've never met a lesbian before. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
Really? I've never met anyone who irons their jeans. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 0:06:41 | 0:06:42 | |
I live at home. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
No shit. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:45 | |
Is that where you got that lovely brooch? | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
That's embarrassing. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
It's today. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:52 | |
What are you, ten? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
I'm 20. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:55 | |
I wouldn't go spreading that around. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
You're illegal, darling. | 0:06:58 | 0:06:59 | |
16 for the breeders, 21 for the gays. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
Did you learn nothing on that march? | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
You're still a minor. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
Jesus. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
Victory to the minors. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:10 | |
Don't make a mess, OK? | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
They've counted it. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
Well, come on, you've collected as much as anyone. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
Stephanie! Were you with Jeff in the Bell last night? | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
For fuck's sake. It's a bruise, OK? My neck is bruised. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
No red wine on the floor, please. Ashtrays. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
It was a pretty good march today. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
Not much in the way of beatings or abuse. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
Hardly any petrol bombs or swastikas. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
Is it me or are the police getting soft? | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
ALL LAUGH | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
It's funny. They've stopped hanging around outside our clubs lately. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
What's that about? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
Do you think they've finally got sick of all that Donna Summer? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
-ALL LAUGH -No, never! | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
My guess is they went somewhere else. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
To pick on someone else. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
My guess is that, while we're enjoying | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
a temporary reprieve, they're here, | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
giving these poor sods the shit we usually get. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Now, these mining communities are being bullied just like we are. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
Right? Bullied by the police. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
Bullied by the tabloids. Bullied by the Government. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
-Do any of them need a hug? -LAUGHTER | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
No. They need cash and they need it urgently. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
Yeah, the miners have always come to our aid, haven't they(?) | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
Are you fucking kidding me? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:20 | |
Why don't we talk about today? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
Today, with only a couple of buckets, we raised nearly 200 quid. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:27 | |
Right, think what we could achieve if we really started trying. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
I'm from Durham. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:31 | |
Well, you know exactly what we're talking about, then. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
I know those bastards kicked the shit out of me | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
every morning on my way to school | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
and every night on my way home. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
We are proposing to meet at least once a week | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
and just to do as many collections as we can. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
Oh, and... and we've got a name. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
LGSM. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
It's not very catchy. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:02 | |
It's a support group, Steph, not a skiffle band. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
Right, let's have a show of hands, shall we? | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
Who's in? Guys? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
MURMURING | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
Come on, guys, please. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Oh, come on, guys. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
Is that it? | 0:09:13 | 0:09:14 | |
We've been looking for things that we could do together as a couple. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
Well, this is perfect. Yous can feed the miners AND your relationship. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
-How many is that? -That's six. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
-It's better than five. -Not as good as seven. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
Jonathan! | 0:09:25 | 0:09:26 | |
Oh, God. Here come the gay libbers. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:27 | |
Brilliant party, Geth. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
I'm sure you could use the back room here. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
If you're looking for a base. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
We are... Erm, we are. That's amazing, Gethin, thank you. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
Well, what about me and Jonathan? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
Or is it exclusively for the under-25s? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
Oh, no, of course not. Everyone's welcome. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
-JONATHAN: -# Touch me, baby, tainted love! # | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
Are you sure Jonathan's interested? | 0:09:43 | 0:09:44 | |
HE BLOWS A WHISTLE | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
ONLOOKERS LAUGH | 0:09:46 | 0:09:47 | |
He's at a bit of a loose end at the moment. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
He just needs something to occupy him. A project. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
What about Bromley over there? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
I've... I've just started catering college. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
Good. Congratulations, all of you. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
You're the founder members | 0:10:02 | 0:10:03 | |
of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
Terrific. Let's bring down the Government. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
Support for the miners. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
Give generously. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:14 | |
Put your hand in your pockets for the miners. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners! | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
'National Union of Mineworkers.' | 0:10:20 | 0:10:21 | |
Oh, hello. I represent a group | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
called Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, and... | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
CALL DISCONNECTS | 0:10:26 | 0:10:27 | |
Hello? Hello... | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
And there's the desired consistency. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
It's glossy and wobbly. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
Glossy and wobbly. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
Jonathan? | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
Why don't you go out with them today? | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
Because I've got better things to do | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
than run around with a bunch of kids. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
What happened to gay lib, Jonathan? | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
I don't know. What did happen to it? | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
Is that Gethin's boyfriend? | 0:11:00 | 0:11:01 | |
Jonathan. He stabbed Susannah York with an ice pick. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
He's an actor. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
Support the miners. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:09 | |
Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, sir. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
We've raised money. We're looking for a mining community... | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
-'Repeat the name, please.' -Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
'Somebody will call you back in due course.' | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
Sure, but you've said that before and we... | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
-SIGHS -They'll call back. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
They will. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
Mark, face it. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
They're on strike. They're busy. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:36 | |
They don't want our money because we're poofs. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
-And a dyke. -They'd rather starve. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:39 | |
Maybe we should hand the money over anonymously. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
We don't have to say we're gay, do we? | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
-No! -Well, at least, then, we'd be helping. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
No, this is a gay and lesbian group and we are unapologetic about that. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
Jesus, why are you even wasting time with all this? | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
-Mark! -They will call us back. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:51 | |
It has nothing to do with the fact that we're poofs. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
-And a dyke! -They will call us back. End of meeting. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
They're never going to call us back. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
Someone needs to go with him. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:01 | |
First rule of the group. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:04 | |
-I'll go. -Thank you, Steph. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
Pervert! | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
First rule of the group, comrade. Nobody collects alone. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
-Lesbians and Gays Support... -Gethin! | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
Gethin, come on. You're supposed to be a bookshop. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
We don't have maps, Mark. It's a gay bookshop. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
People ask for the poems of Walt Whitman. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
I hope there's a good reason why I've been abandoned. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
Let me get this right, so we are going to pick a mining town | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
at random and just ring it. Is that the plan, is it, Mark? | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
-Yeah, the town hall, the council. -What, it's as easy as that? | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
Why not? We bypass the union altogether. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
-I think it's inspired. -So do I. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:42 | |
See? Even Bromley agrees. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:43 | |
Right, here we go. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
A-ha. So, what do we want? Um... | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
Somewhere north... Industrial? | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
Humberside. Is... Is that a place? | 0:12:50 | 0:12:51 | |
Oh, Jesus Christ. Give it to me. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
If it's miners you're looking for... | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
There. Wales. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
-Of course! -That's a big fucking coalfield. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
That's the Brecon Beacons. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
That's a coalfield, there. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:06 | |
-And that is. -All right and what are we supposed to do? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
-Stick a bloody pin in it? -Do you know people, Gethin? | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
No, I haven't been back there in 16 years. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
Why not? | 0:13:13 | 0:13:14 | |
Well, let's just say there isn't always a welcome in the hillsides. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
Shall I get you the phone book? | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
Well, what's the worst that can happen? | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
Oh, hello. I represent a bunch of screaming homosexuals. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
May I inquire about your communal baths? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
What's that got to do with a strike? | 0:13:27 | 0:13:28 | |
-Nothing. I'd just like to inquire. -LAUGHTER | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
EVERYONE TALKS AT ONCE | 0:13:31 | 0:13:32 | |
All right, all right. Thank you. All right. Oi! | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |

Maybe we should try and look more obviously gay. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
Achievable goals, please, Jeff. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
-Shut up. That's him. -Are you sure? | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
Oh, my God, he's coming towards us. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:02 | |

So, LGSM. What does that stand for, then? | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
You get a garbled message over the phone. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |

-I never dreamed for a moment it was L for... -Hi. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
This money you've raised, it's all from gays and lesbians? | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
Mostly, yeah. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
Right. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
There we are. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:44 | |
-This is just the beginning. -Oh? | 0:15:44 | 0:15:45 | |
-Mm-hm. -We've got big plans. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
Well, I'm not going to pretend I'm not surprised. You can see that. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
Truth told, you're the first gays I've ever met in my life. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
As far as you're aware. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
That's true. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
And you're the first miner I've ever met. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
Yeah! | 0:16:01 | 0:16:02 | |
Now, I...I want you to do something for me. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
I want you to go back to your community and convey my thanks. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
My personal thanks. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:13 | |
And the thanks of all the people of Dulais. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
Yeah, of course we will. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
-Won't we? -Yeah. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:19 | |
Yeah, yeah. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |

He comes from the Dulais Valley in South Wales, and he, um... | 0:17:14 | 0:17:19 | |

Um, speaking in public. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
Standing on a picket line. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |

against an enemy so much bigger, so much stronger than you, | 0:18:34 | 0:18:39 | |
well, to find out you had a friend you never knew existed... | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |

Every other support group has been invited. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
Every other support group was approved by the whole committee. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
-Oh, I see. -Dai had to make a snap decision. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
-This is all my fault. -He was in London, Maureen. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
What would you have done? Told them to keep it? | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
-What I would have done... -But they raised the money. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
All right, I run a civil meeting here. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
If you want to scream and shout, get on the pickets. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
I don't have a problem with what they are. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
None of us do. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:54 | |
It's the men. Well, you bring a load of gays | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
into a working men's club, you get trouble. I'm sorry. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
No other group has raised as much money. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
I'm not disputing that. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:03 | |
Or been so consistent. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:04 | |
Then why don't you just invite them? | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
I'm sorry, but everyone's saying they don't have a problem. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
Good, they've raised the most money, so invite them. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
And who the bloody hell are you? | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
-You did what? -I know. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
But Hefina - she's like the head honcho, absolutely terrifying - | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
well, she obviously can't stand this Maureen. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
Kids, mind the fish fingers. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
What's the matter? You told me not to sell myself short. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
I'm not talking about that. Gays and lesbians! | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
-We're trying to fit in here, Sian. -What? | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
Volunteer, I said. Run the canteen. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
They didn't want me on the canteen. They wanted me on the committee. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
All right, so keep your head down. Do the paperwork. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
Don't start stirring it all up, | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
inviting a load of gays and lesbians. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:51 | |
Oh, it's like that, is it? | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
You know, I had you down as many things, | 0:21:53 | 0:21:54 | |
-but prejudiced was never one of them. -I'm not prejudiced. -No? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
I'm a realist. I know what small towns are like, Sian. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
I know exactly how those lads are going to react. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
-You think so? -I know so. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
I'm standing on a bloody picket with them day after day. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
It was a majority decision. The committee decided. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
Well, I hope you and your bloody committee | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
can guarantee their safety, Sian, I do, I really do. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
Dai? Your gays have arrived. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
BAND PERFORMS COUNTRY BALLAD | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
-Good to see you again. -Good to see you. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
Hi, there. Welcome. Welcome. Come on in, everybody. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
Great to see you again. Great to see you again. Hello. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
Come on in. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
Welcome, everybody. This is my wife, Margaret. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
Hello. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:14 | |
This is Gail and Sian, who wrote to you. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:18 | |
This is Hefina, who chairs the welfare committee. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
This is Gwen, and this is Cliff, our club secretary. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
Um, I'm going to officiate you. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
Oh, good! | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
Hold that, and name here, please. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
Mm-hm. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
And in the corresponding box, the group or organisation you represent, | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
in this case... | 0:27:39 | 0:27:40 | |
Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
Yep. Quite. Absolutely. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
Thank you. Thank you very much for having us. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
Now, I'm hoping you can clear something up for me about lesbians. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
-Not now, Gwen. -It's something I was told | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
in the covered market | 0:27:51 | 0:27:52 | |
and to be honest with you, it did surprise me. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
Let them get settled in first, shall we? | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
Oh. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:58 | |
Now, who's making the speech? | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
A... A speech? | 0:28:00 | 0:28:01 | |
It's no big deal. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:02 | |
One of you just has to go up onstage and say a few words. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
Just so we know who you are, like. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
I'll tell the band to shut up and we'll push you on. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:11 | |
And welcome, all of you. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
To be honest, I never thought you'd come. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
Anybody else feel like appointing themselves leader? | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
-Didn't think so. -CLEARS THROAT | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
# Many miles from home | 0:28:39 | 0:28:45 | |
# But I'm walking, walking | 0:28:45 | 0:28:49 | |
# Walking for you | 0:28:49 | 0:28:53 | |
# Walking for you. # | 0:28:53 | 0:28:58 | |
SILENCE | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 | |
Now, then, ladies and gentlemen, | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
we're joined once again by one of our support groups, | 0:29:08 | 0:29:12 | |
Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:15 | |
Will you, er, welcome their spokesman onto the stage? Thank you. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:21 | |
SILENCE | 0:29:21 | 0:29:23 | |
Thank you, Dai. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:28 | |
Thank you, um... Falling Leaves. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:31 | |
Actually, Dai Donovan made a speech at our local pub, | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
and he's a pretty tough act to follow, | 0:29:36 | 0:29:39 | |
so maybe now is the moment for my musical tribute to Judy Garland. | 0:29:39 | 0:29:43 | |
Look, we raised this money because we want to help you. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:49 | |
And that's it. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:51 | |
And we'll keep on trying to help you for as long as you want us to, | 0:29:51 | 0:29:55 | |
because we've been through some of the same things you've been through. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:59 | |
Listen, if one in five people is gay, | 0:30:03 | 0:30:05 | |
then one in five miners must be, too, right? | 0:30:05 | 0:30:07 | |
So that's at least a fifth of you who's pleased to see us. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:11 | |
Thank you. Thank you for inviting us here. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
Thanks. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:20 | |
One, two, three, four... | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
# Them falling leaves They say that summer's done | 0:30:28 | 0:30:31 | |
# The wind and rains They say so, too | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
# But ain't no winter skies will ever shadow the sun | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
# While I'm with you... # | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
-Night, everybody. -ALL: Goodnight, Dai. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:43 | |
There we are. All settled in. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:57 | |
It's teething problems, love. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:00 | |
Everything will be all right, once they start to mix. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
I'm not talking about running away. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:19 | |
I'm talking about making a dignified exit. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:21 | |
Tomorrow before dawn? | 0:31:21 | 0:31:23 | |
We can't just waltz into a town like this | 0:31:23 | 0:31:24 | |
and expect them not to... | 0:31:24 | 0:31:26 | |
-Slit our throats? -..just be cautious. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:27 | |
I don't know about anybody else, but I don't have to travel to Wales | 0:31:27 | 0:31:30 | |
to get my head kicked in. I can very easily get that at home. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
Anyone who wants to go should go. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:34 | |
-But I came here to help. -Yeah, but they don't want your help. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
Well, they can tell me that to my face. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:38 | |
Until that time, I'm a member of LGSM | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
and I'm going to do what I set out to do. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
No hiding, no running away, no apologies. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:45 | |
Me too. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
Yeah. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:48 | |
And me. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:49 | |
And me. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:50 | |
This is a Welsh castle, mind. None of your Norman rubbish. | 0:31:57 | 0:32:01 | |
According to legend, the maiden Sabrina came here, see, | 0:32:01 | 0:32:06 | |
and became the goddess of the River Severn. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:10 | |
How did she manage that, then, Cliff? | 0:32:10 | 0:32:12 | |
By drowning. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
"Sabrina fair, listen where thou art sitting | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
"under the glassie, cool, translucent wave", | 0:32:17 | 0:32:19 | |
and so on. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:21 | |
I grew up in Northern Ireland. I know all about what happens | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
when people don't talk to each other. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:26 | |
That's why I've never understood, | 0:32:26 | 0:32:28 | |
what's the point of supporting gay rights | 0:32:28 | 0:32:30 | |
but nobody else's rights, you know? | 0:32:30 | 0:32:32 | |
Or workers' rights but not women's rights. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
It's... I don't know, illogical. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:38 | |
There's a lodge banner down in the welfare, over 100 years old. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
We bring it out for special occasions, you know. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:44 | |
I'll show it to you one day. It's a symbol, like this. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
Right? Two hands. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:50 | |
That's what the labour movement means. Should mean. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |
You support me, I support you. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
Whoever you are. Wherever you come from. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:57 | |
Shoulder to shoulder. Hand to hand. | 0:32:57 | 0:32:59 | |
SIAN: Dai! | 0:32:59 | 0:33:01 | |
There they go. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:05 | |
They're bringing them in from London, from Bristol. All over. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:09 | |
CLIFF: They're pulling the lads in for anything now. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:11 | |
Well, they can't do that. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:12 | |
There's two from my street in custody right now. Lee and Carl. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:15 | |
Where's your humanity? | 0:33:15 | 0:33:17 | |
We're citizens of this country, mind. Citizens. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
No, I mean they can't do that. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
It's totally illegal. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
A police officer has the right to stop you | 0:33:25 | 0:33:27 | |
if, and that's the important word here, | 0:33:27 | 0:33:29 | |
if he has reasonable grounds to believe | 0:33:29 | 0:33:31 | |
a crime is going to be committed. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:32 | |
Now, you're absolutely sure about this? | 0:33:32 | 0:33:34 | |
Police harassment, dear. I could set it to music. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:36 | |
-SIAN: -And if he does? | 0:33:36 | 0:33:37 | |
Then he must formally charge you within 24 hours of that arrest. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
But "reasonable grounds" means concrete evidence | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
that can stand up in court. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:43 | |
It doesn't mean he doesn't like the look of you. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:45 | |
That's the same whether you're standing on a picket line | 0:33:45 | 0:33:48 | |
or trolling down Clapham High Street in full drag. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
Hefina, tell Martin to mind the kids. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:53 | |
Where you going? | 0:33:53 | 0:33:54 | |
The police station. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:56 | |
She's finding her feet. | 0:33:56 | 0:33:57 | |
Right, gentlemen, listen to me. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:00 | |
A police officer only has the right to detain a group of people... | 0:34:00 | 0:34:04 | |
You need evidence to stand up in a court of law. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:06 | |
They need concrete evidence. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:07 | |
..keep them for longer than 24 hours... | 0:34:07 | 0:34:09 | |
No proof. No proof. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:11 | |
And I will not be leaving this desk until you do. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:14 | |
We've got all day, so chop chop. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
Nobody said anything about hiding who we are. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:23 | |
-Yes, they did. -You. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:25 | |
I just think if everybody takes it easy on the... | 0:34:25 | 0:34:27 | |
Flamboyance. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:28 | |
..then we're more likely to fit in. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:30 | |
I'm sorry, just to be clear, when you say flamboyance, you mean gay? | 0:34:30 | 0:34:34 | |
And when you say everyone, you mean me? | 0:34:34 | 0:34:35 | |
-Jonathan... -Good. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:37 | |
It's just I haven't spoken 1950s in quite a while. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |

Over here, please. We're packing parcels. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:56 | |
-You'll stay for a pint? -No, you're all right, Cliff. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:02 | |
Welfare's had a change of atmosphere, if you know what I mean. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:04 | |
-I don't know what you mean, Lee, no. -He means these faggots. -Oi! | 0:35:04 | 0:35:07 | |
If it wasn't for those people, you would still be in the nick. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:10 | |
-What? -He's right. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:11 | |
They make me sick. That's all I know, Dai. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:13 | |
-That's enough. -Physically sick. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:15 | |
-Gays? -From London. They were the ones, Carl. They got you out. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:22 | |
I thought Sian got us out. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:24 | |
They told her... They told her what to say. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:26 | |
-Carl! -It's you lot, is it? The gays. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |
What's going on? | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |
No, it's all right. It's all right. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:36 | |
We're LGSM, Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, yes. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:40 | |

MUSIC: You Can't Hurry Love by Phil Collins | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
What I was told about lesbians really did shock me. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:01 | |
That can't be true, can it? You're all vegetarians? | 0:36:01 | 0:36:05 | |
Actually, Zoe and I are both vegans. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:09 | |
So, you live together like, you know, husband and wife. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
-But what I want to know is... -I know what you're going to say. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:22 | |
Which one does the housework? | 0:36:22 | 0:36:25 | |
Oh, well, that's... That's not what I thought you was going to say. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:29 | |
-Are you joking? -Certainly not. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
It's embarrassing enough they spend one night on Dai's floor, Maureen. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
From now, the hosting committee's going to bloody well start hosting. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
I'm sorry, not me. I'm concerned about AIDS. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:40 | |
SHE SCOFFS What?! | 0:36:40 | 0:36:41 | |
It's not a trivial matter, Sian. They've issued leaflets. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:45 | |
CLIFF: I don't mind taking more, Hefina. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:47 | |
Not the lesbians so much, because of their cuisine. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:50 | |
But I'll take an extra gay. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:52 | |
I tell you something right now, Maureen Barry, | 0:36:52 | 0:36:54 | |
if you get AIDS, so help me God, I'll nurse you myself. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
Though how you're going to get AIDS from a couple of sleeping bags | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
in your extension, I don't know. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
-It's fine. -No. I can take another one, and so can Cliff. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:06 | |
Think it's going to be that easy, do you? | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
You just bulldoze the whole village into thinking the same thing as you. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:18 | |
I don't need to bulldoze anyone. It's you who's got the problem. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:21 | |
They're all in there getting along perfectly well. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:24 | |
Oh, really? | 0:37:28 | 0:37:30 | |
What the hell do you think you're doing? | 0:37:45 | 0:37:47 | |
I'm just talking to Kev about something. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:48 | |
You can talk to Kev any day of the week. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:50 | |
Get over there and find a gay or a lesbian right now. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:53 | |
Look, Hefina, I've shaken their hands. I've bought them a pint, see? | 0:37:53 | 0:37:56 | |
I don't want to labour the point, do I? | 0:37:56 | 0:37:58 | |
I might, you know, give them the wrong impression. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:00 | |
Oh, right(!) | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
Because you're so bloody irresistible, Carl Evans? | 0:38:02 | 0:38:05 | |
Listen to me. I've seen you dancing | 0:38:05 | 0:38:06 | |
round my back yard with no clothes on since you were this high. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:09 | |
And I can tell you right now, these gays have thrown better away. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:12 | |
Now, move yourself. And you. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:15 | |

God, I miss disco. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:44 | |
CHEERING CONTINUES | 0:40:46 | 0:40:48 | |
Everyone back to mine for a nightcap. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:56 | |
-What? Go to bed, Cliff. -I promise I'll do it, man. | 0:40:56 | 0:41:00 | |
For God's sake. He always gets like this. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
What did I bloody say to you, eh? | 0:41:03 | 0:41:06 | |
Showing us up in front of our guests. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:08 | |
Don't worry. You're going to love it. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:10 | |
Cheers, mate. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:12 | |
Oi. What the hell was that about? | 0:41:12 | 0:41:14 | |
-He's going to give him dance lessons. -Are you joking? | 0:41:14 | 0:41:16 | |
You'll start prancing about like that? | 0:41:16 | 0:41:18 | |
Listen, if you're going to spend the rest of your life | 0:41:18 | 0:41:20 | |
standing at the bar wishing you could speak to Debbie Thomas, | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
that's fine by me. I'm going to be a woman magnet. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:26 | |
Where the bloody hell did you get that? | 0:41:26 | 0:41:28 | |
BACKGROUND CHATTER AND LAUGHTER | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
I don't know why you're so het up. They're going in the morning. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:39 | |
Well, this strike matters to you two, does it? | 0:41:39 | 0:41:41 | |
Of course it does. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:43 | |
What do you think people will say when they hear about this? | 0:41:43 | 0:41:46 | |
We're being backed up by perverts. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:48 | |
You want people taking the piss, do you? | 0:41:50 | 0:41:52 | |
Scabs? Coppers? | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
Calling us all sorts of names? | 0:41:55 | 0:41:57 | |
No. | 0:41:57 | 0:41:58 | |
Well, I know one thing. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:01 | |
Your father would never have stood for it. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:04 | |
-That went well, considering. -Considering? | 0:42:12 | 0:42:15 | |
Sometimes people can surprise you, that's all I'm saying. | 0:42:15 | 0:42:18 | |
I never had a problem with it, Sian. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:20 | |
Well, I'm glad to hear it, because this is Joe. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:23 | |
And he's going to be sleeping in our house. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:28 | |
-DEEP VOICE: -How do? -Nice to meet you. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:31 | |
No need to do the full Barry White, Martin. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:36 | |
He knows you're heterosexual. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:38 | |
This is fine. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:52 | |
BRAKES SCREECH | 0:42:54 | 0:42:55 | |
-I think we should take him to the door. -No. Just here, please. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
Just drop me here. | 0:42:58 | 0:42:59 | |
JEERING | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
All right. Oh, leave him alone. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:03 | |
Hang on a minute. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:05 | |
What is it? | 0:43:10 | 0:43:11 | |
Got to keep up the fiction. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:13 | |
ALL LAUGH | 0:43:13 | 0:43:15 | |
See you. | 0:43:17 | 0:43:18 | |
Mmm! Was it fun? | 0:43:24 | 0:43:27 | |
It was the best experience of my entire life. | 0:43:28 | 0:43:31 | |
Making pastry?! | 0:43:32 | 0:43:33 | |

Any donations, sir? | 0:44:45 | 0:44:47 | |
Don't worry about me freezing to death in Brixton, will you? | 0:44:50 | 0:44:53 | |
Aren't you going to ring your mum? | 0:44:53 | 0:44:55 | |
What for? A long-distance queer-bashing? | 0:44:55 | 0:44:57 | |
-Hi. -Here you are, love. | 0:44:57 | 0:44:58 | |
Why don't I pretend to be your girlfriend? | 0:44:58 | 0:45:01 | |
That way, you get an alibi and I get to watch The Sound Of Music. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:03 | |
-Come to ours, Steph. -Can I? | 0:45:03 | 0:45:05 | |
Yeah. Orphans Of The Storm. | 0:45:05 | 0:45:08 | |
No Queen's speech. No carols. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:09 | |
Oh, sounds like heaven. | 0:45:09 | 0:45:11 | |
Support the miners. | 0:45:11 | 0:45:12 | |
A very happy Christmas to you, too. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:17 | |

Hello? | 0:45:44 | 0:45:45 | |
-HEFINA: -Can I speak to Jonathan, please? | 0:45:45 | 0:45:47 | |
Er, no, he's being creative in the kitchen, I'm afraid. Er... | 0:45:47 | 0:45:50 | |
Take a message! | 0:45:50 | 0:45:51 | |
I just wanted to thank him for his beautiful card. | 0:45:51 | 0:45:54 | |
Home-made, too. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:55 | |
My husband was particularly impressed with it. | 0:45:56 | 0:45:58 | |
'I'll be sure to tell him.' | 0:45:58 | 0:46:00 | |
Is that a Welsh accent I can hear? | 0:46:00 | 0:46:03 | |
Er, oh, maybe. The remnants. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:06 | |
I haven't been home in a long time, so... | 0:46:06 | 0:46:10 | |
'Well, we're looking forward to seeing them all back here soon.' | 0:46:10 | 0:46:12 | |
And wish Jonathan a happy Christmas from all of us in Dulais, will you? | 0:46:12 | 0:46:16 | |
'Of course. Of course I will.' | 0:46:16 | 0:46:17 | |

Oh, Jesus. | 0:47:02 | 0:47:04 | |

Let's get the stuff unloaded | 0:47:22 | 0:47:23 | |
and shared out as fast as possible, yeah? | 0:47:23 | 0:47:25 | |
What the bloody hell am I doing? | 0:47:29 | 0:47:31 | |
Right, come on, then, you heard him. | 0:47:31 | 0:47:34 | |
There's noises in the village. | 0:47:36 | 0:47:38 | |
Small voices. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:39 | |
Nothing we can't handle, but... | 0:47:39 | 0:47:41 | |
They want to go back? | 0:47:41 | 0:47:42 | |
They've been told they'll save the pits that go back first. | 0:47:42 | 0:47:47 | |
They won't, but, er, desperate people, they'll believe anything. | 0:47:47 | 0:47:51 | |
Tell him about the bus. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:54 | |
Our bus has broken down. | 0:47:56 | 0:47:58 | |
And our gas has been cut off, so... | 0:47:58 | 0:48:00 | |
we're having baths next door. | 0:48:00 | 0:48:02 | |
We're playing for a tin of beef now. | 0:48:06 | 0:48:09 | |
Remember, all your proceeds to the strike fund, | 0:48:09 | 0:48:13 | |
ladies and gents, so please dig deep. | 0:48:13 | 0:48:15 | |
There's a pair for you. Happy Christmas. | 0:48:15 | 0:48:18 | |
There you go. | 0:48:18 | 0:48:20 | |
Not even Kim Wilde's got them in orange. | 0:48:20 | 0:48:22 | |
Ah! | 0:48:22 | 0:48:23 | |
This is Gethin. | 0:48:23 | 0:48:25 | |
Hello. | 0:48:25 | 0:48:26 | |
He's a little nervous. | 0:48:26 | 0:48:27 | |
-Jonathan... -There's no need to be nervous, boy. | 0:48:27 | 0:48:30 | |
With a good Welsh name like that? | 0:48:30 | 0:48:32 | |
Where are you from, then? | 0:48:32 | 0:48:34 | |
Rhyl, originally. | 0:48:34 | 0:48:36 | |
No. No way. | 0:48:37 | 0:48:39 | |
Listen here, see. | 0:48:40 | 0:48:41 | |
We don't mind the gays and the lesbians, that's fine. | 0:48:41 | 0:48:44 | |
But don't you dare be bringing people from North Wales down here. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:47 | |
ALL LAUGH | 0:48:50 | 0:48:52 | |
Stupid bugger. | 0:48:56 | 0:48:58 | |
That bus is a lifeline. It takes the men to the picket. | 0:49:03 | 0:49:05 | |
It takes the food parcels to the remotest villages. | 0:49:05 | 0:49:07 | |
-Without it... -All the fours... | 0:49:07 | 0:49:10 | |
-44. -We need to start thinking in larger chunks of money, | 0:49:10 | 0:49:13 | |
because without it they're going to fail, it's as simple as that. | 0:49:13 | 0:49:16 | |
I'm sorry, but when'll you address | 0:49:16 | 0:49:18 | |
-my question about a women's group? -Blind 70. | 0:49:18 | 0:49:21 | |
Stella, this is important. | 0:49:21 | 0:49:22 | |
I know. But this group has absolutely no democratic process. | 0:49:22 | 0:49:26 | |
What do you need a women's group for, anyway? | 0:49:26 | 0:49:28 | |
-Thee and me, 23. -To address the women's issues. | 0:49:28 | 0:49:31 | |
Singly and in a safe environment. | 0:49:31 | 0:49:33 | |
What is unsafe about this environment? | 0:49:33 | 0:49:35 | |
Kelly's eye, number one. | 0:49:35 | 0:49:37 | |
I'm a woman, Mike. OK? | 0:49:37 | 0:49:39 | |
I'm also a lesbian and a feminist. | 0:49:39 | 0:49:42 | |
Listen, love, I don't care if you're Arthur Scargill. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:45 | |

For God's sake, leave him alone. He's not a Girls' World. | 0:50:05 | 0:50:09 | |
But we love him, Mum. | 0:50:09 | 0:50:10 | |
GIGGLING | 0:50:10 | 0:50:12 | |
OK. Design speed. | 0:50:12 | 0:50:13 | |
It's called the Great Atlantic Fault. | 0:50:13 | 0:50:16 | |
And, er, and it starts here in Spain | 0:50:16 | 0:50:21 | |
and then it goes under the Bay of Biscay | 0:50:21 | 0:50:24 | |
and then it comes up in South Wales. | 0:50:24 | 0:50:26 | |
And then it goes under the Atlantic for miles and miles and miles | 0:50:26 | 0:50:31 | |
and it comes up again in Pennsylvania. | 0:50:31 | 0:50:34 | |
My father used to talk about it. | 0:50:34 | 0:50:36 | |
And mine. | 0:50:36 | 0:50:37 | |
The dark artery. | 0:50:37 | 0:50:39 | |
That's it. Yeah, that's it. | 0:50:39 | 0:50:41 | |
And you could take a miner from Wales or Spain or America | 0:50:41 | 0:50:47 | |
and you could show them that seam and they would recognise it. | 0:50:47 | 0:50:50 | |
There's no other coal like it. It's perfect. Pure. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:54 | |
I lost my younger brother to that pit. | 0:50:58 | 0:51:02 | |
36 years old. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:03 | |
But without it, these villages are nothing, they're finished. | 0:51:03 | 0:51:08 | |
That's what I'd say | 0:51:09 | 0:51:11 | |
if I ever came face-to-face with Margaret fucking Thatcher. | 0:51:11 | 0:51:15 | |
That's what I'd tell her. | 0:51:15 | 0:51:17 | |
The pit and the people are one and the same. | 0:51:19 | 0:51:21 | |
Yeah. Well... | 0:51:24 | 0:51:27 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:51:27 | 0:51:29 | |
-Welcome home, son. -Thank you. | 0:51:31 | 0:51:33 | |
Listen to me, everyone. I just want to say something. | 0:51:51 | 0:51:54 | |
Get your feet off those seats. | 0:51:54 | 0:51:56 | |
-We've let you down. -ALL: No! | 0:51:58 | 0:52:00 | |
No, we have. We haven't collected enough. | 0:52:00 | 0:52:02 | |
We haven't raised enough awareness. We know that. | 0:52:02 | 0:52:05 | |
Now, it's not enough to always be defending. | 0:52:05 | 0:52:08 | |
Sometimes you have to attack, to push forward, | 0:52:08 | 0:52:11 | |
and that's exactly what we're going to do. | 0:52:11 | 0:52:13 | |
When we get back to London, and you have my word on this, | 0:52:13 | 0:52:16 | |
we are going to... | 0:52:16 | 0:52:18 | |
we're going to do something so spectacular. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:20 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:52:20 | 0:52:21 | |
It'll be so incredible, | 0:52:21 | 0:52:23 | |
so effective, that the National Coal Board, | 0:52:23 | 0:52:25 | |
I promise you this, | 0:52:25 | 0:52:27 | |

This is the first gay club we've ever been to. | 1:10:55 | 1:10:57 | |
Yeah? As a matter of fact, we're not gay, either. | 1:10:57 | 1:11:00 | |
Oh. | 1:11:00 | 1:11:02 | |
We're miners. | 1:11:02 | 1:11:03 | |

We just put up with it, don't we? Keep them quiet. | 1:16:15 | 1:16:17 | |
OK. | 1:16:17 | 1:16:19 | |
I will listen to a certain amount of drunken bollocks, Gail, | 1:16:19 | 1:16:22 | |

I can't speak in front of all these people, Cliff. | 1:20:17 | 1:20:19 | |

Righto. | 1:22:29 | 1:22:31 | |
-Three o'clock. -You can't dictate when the committee sits. | 1:22:38 | 1:22:41 | |
-You told us three o'clock. -And then we had to change it. | 1:22:41 | 1:22:43 | |
-Bloody disgusting way to behave. -If you weren't in London... | 1:22:43 | 1:22:46 | |
It's invalid. This decision is invalid. | 1:22:46 | 1:22:48 | |
-We can fight it. -We've got one fight, Dai. The fucking strike. | 1:22:48 | 1:22:51 | |
Or have you forgotten that, all of you, | 1:22:51 | 1:22:53 | |
dancing around in London? | 1:22:53 | 1:22:55 | |
The trouble with those people is they jump on the bandwagon. | 1:22:55 | 1:22:58 | |
-What? -It's well known. | 1:22:58 | 1:23:00 | |
They pretend they're backing you, | 1:23:00 | 1:23:01 | |
but what they're really doing is pushing their own agenda. | 1:23:01 | 1:23:04 | |
-Gay rights. -What?! | 1:23:04 | 1:23:06 | |
We've seen articles, Hefina. | 1:23:06 | 1:23:09 | |

I can't... I can't listen to this. | 1:23:19 | 1:23:21 | |
..to thank them most sincerely. | 1:23:21 | 1:23:23 | |
But the vote was we won't be accepting their support any more. | 1:23:23 | 1:23:27 | |
They're causing us embarrassment, Dai, that's the thing. | 1:23:27 | 1:23:30 | |
And we're not strong enough, not now. | 1:23:30 | 1:23:32 | |
We're struggling to survive as it is. | 1:23:32 | 1:23:34 | |

Turns out they're a complete stranger. | 1:24:05 | 1:24:08 | |
I'd say the same about you, Cliff. | 1:24:08 | 1:24:09 | |
I'll tell you something. If you think this is what | 1:24:09 | 1:24:12 | |
my brother would have wanted, you're wrong. | 1:24:12 | 1:24:15 | |
We came to help you win, and if we're not helping, we have to go. | 1:24:18 | 1:24:22 | |

-You what?! -Do you think that just for once | 1:26:22 | 1:26:24 | |
you could stop following me around like a fucking spaniel | 1:26:24 | 1:26:27 | |
and let me have a life of my own? | 1:26:27 | 1:26:28 | |
Yeah. | 1:26:30 | 1:26:31 | |
Yeah, I think I could manage that, yeah. | 1:26:31 | 1:26:33 | |

that people are tired of politics and that this year, | 1:43:15 | 1:43:17 | |
the tone's celebratory, with affirmative slogans | 1:43:17 | 1:43:19 | |
-and a positive atmosphere. -Horse shit. | 1:43:19 | 1:43:21 | |
If you march with your banner, | 1:43:21 | 1:43:22 | |

This is a fucking demonstration. | 1:43:36 | 1:43:38 | |

Because that's how you get things done. | 1:43:45 | 1:43:47 | |
-No, it fucking isn't. -Listen! | 1:43:47 | 1:43:48 | |
Why does everything get so aggressive with you lot? | 1:43:48 | 1:43:51 | |
Listen to me! Listen to me. | 1:43:51 | 1:43:53 | |
Whether we march with banners or without, | 1:43:53 | 1:43:55 | |
the important thing is that we march together, all of us. | 1:43:55 | 1:43:58 | |
That's what this whole thing has been about since the beginning | 1:43:58 | 1:44:00 | |

MUSIC: There Is A Power In A Union by Billy Bragg | 1:46:29 | 1:46:33 | |
# There's power in a factory | 1:46:48 | 1:46:51 | |
# Power in the land | 1:46:51 | 1:46:54 | |
# Power in the hand of the worker | 1:46:54 | 1:46:58 | |
# But it all amounts to nothing | 1:46:58 | 1:47:00 | |
# If together we don't stand | 1:47:00 | 1:47:03 | |
# There is power in a union | 1:47:03 | 1:47:08 | |
# Now, the lessons of the past | 1:47:08 | 1:47:10 | |
# Were all learned with workers' blood | 1:47:10 | 1:47:13 | |
# The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for | 1:47:13 | 1:47:18 | |
# From the cities and the farmlands | 1:47:18 | 1:47:20 | |
# To trenches full of mud | 1:47:20 | 1:47:23 | |
# War has always been the bosses' way, sir | 1:47:23 | 1:47:27 | |
# The union forever | 1:47:27 | 1:47:30 | |
# Defending our rights | 1:47:30 | 1:47:33 | |
# Down with the blackleg | 1:47:33 | 1:47:35 | |
# All workers unite | 1:47:35 | 1:47:37 | |
# With our brothers and our sisters | 1:47:37 | 1:47:40 | |
# From many far-off lands | 1:47:40 | 1:47:42 | |
# There is power in a union | 1:47:42 | 1:47:47 | |
# Now, I long for the morning | 1:47:47 | 1:47:50 | |
# That they realise | 1:47:50 | 1:47:51 | |
# Brutality and unjust laws cannot defeat us | 1:47:51 | 1:47:57 | |
# But who'll defend the workers | 1:47:57 | 1:47:59 | |
# Who cannot organise | 1:47:59 | 1:48:01 | |
# When the bosses send their lackeys out to cheat us? | 1:48:01 | 1:48:06 | |
# Money speaks for money | 1:48:06 | 1:48:08 | |
# The devil for his own | 1:48:08 | 1:48:11 | |
# Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone? | 1:48:11 | 1:48:16 | |
# What a comfort to the widow | 1:48:16 | 1:48:18 | |
# A light to the child | 1:48:18 | 1:48:21 | |
# There is power in a union | 1:48:21 | 1:48:26 | |
# The union forever | 1:48:44 | 1:48:47 | |
# Defending our rights | 1:48:47 | 1:48:49 | |
# Down with the blackleg | 1:48:49 | 1:48:52 | |
# All workers unite | 1:48:52 | 1:48:54 | |
# With our brothers and our sisters | 1:48:54 | 1:48:56 | |
# Together we will stand | 1:48:56 | 1:48:59 | |
# There is power in a union. # | 1:48:59 | 1:49:04 |
