  • When the Boat comes In..

    I first watched this series in England in the 80’s. I watched the 4 series and even watching it now brings back wonderful memories. It is about coal mining and the wharfies and mostly strikes and unions in England,. I enjoyed it immensely and I want to watch it again.
