Just watched this, with it being presented by Ricky Tomlinson, I was expecting it to be arse but thankfully he kept most of the politics out of it and concentrated on the community aspect. It ended up being quite watchable.

Interestingly UK Coal are looking into reopening quite a few mines, especially in the Nottinghamshire area, as the price of coal has risen so much and the coal produced from the Nottinghamshire fields was some of the cleanest burning, a major factor obviously with so much emphasis on green energy.
One of my colleagues is a former pit (face?) foreman, still has his licences up to date and has said that should they reopen he'll be straight out the door.
