Tonight concluded the two part
documentary about the miners at Kellingley Colliery in Yorkshire, the last working
pit in the country, over the twelve months leading up to its closure last December,
which was both beautifully crafted and poignant; it could almost have been a
natural history film about a rare species facing extinction – the unworldly
habitat, strange male-bonding rituals, and a specialised adaptation to a unique
environment that gave rise to real concern over their survival elsewhere.
