"The Big Melt - How Steel Made Us Hard"

On BBC4 tonight at 9.00pm. A look at Sheffield's industrial heritage. It has a soundtrack, but I'm sure that it will be worth watching.

Cheers

There was a similar Storyville episode a year or two ago - "To the Sea and the Land Beyond" which similarly used archived footage with a soundtrack written specifically for the film.

The Sea program was certainly worth watching, one of the best things that's been on TV in recent years. Glimpses into lost worlds and all that...

Yes indeed, that was very enjoyable, music by British sea Power IIRC.

Cheers
