The Price of Coal, Part 1: Meet the People (1977)
Primero de dos filmes relacionados y de tono contrapuesto (el primero satírico; el segundo dramático) que enfocan la vida de una comunidad del carbón en Yorkshire. La primera parte, "Meet the People", se ocupa de los preparativos para una visita del Príncipe Carlos, cuando la patronal intenta enrolar a los mineros para engalanar la localidad y la bocamina. La segunda parte, "Back to Reality", ocurre un mes después cuando una explosión subterránea trae desastrosas consecuencias, por debajo y por encima de la tierra.
