Clipstone Strike 1971

Clipstone
Strike village
In December, a month before the National Miners' strike began, the Money Programme sent a camera crew to Clipstone, a mining village in Nottinghamshire. The cameras stayed in Clipstone as the threatened strike became a reality. And once it had started on 9 January the programme follows the changes of mood and attitudes of Clipstone's community of 5,000 through to the moment when the men went back to work, victorious, on 28 February. In Clipstone they won'forget this strike any more easily than they forgot 1926.
ALAN WATSON presents a special portrait of the 1972 Miners' strike. through the eyes of the local union leader, the pit manager, the men and the wives of Clipstone colliery village.
