Surely it has to be Oakeley? You can see the sheer scale of the place from looking at the excellent diagrams on this site.

Its Cwmorthin. Looks to be some very interesting places on show.

It's Cwmorthin and I'm in it :D

Actually my good friend Pred is the main event, he does all the talking on screen whilst I hide in the background. I'm rather shy on screen.

BUT I do blow something up!!! :devil:

Just don't let the fame get to your head :blink:

I have just seen a clip from episode 2 that Roy is in.


Its on record because I will be at work.

And now Manod Mine/Quarry.

Good programme

Ok I'm not a big television viewer but that was worth watching. Excellent. Well done BBC :

heheh I'm not going to get famous for that, I was only in it for 2 seconds. I bravely volunteered Pred whist I quietly set up the blast.

Looking forward to seeing Roy in Episode 2 :)

Pred and Cwmorthin were obviously the highlight, but that was an excellent hour of TV.

I think this is on again on Thursday, or is that part two?

It is repeated at 01:55h tonight but it is signed.

Then repeated Thursday on BBC1 Wales and Sunday on BBC2 Wales

You can perpetually banquet your vanity over the next 29 days on BBC iplayer:lol:

They seemed to manage to light the underground parts adequately, all too often they just wave a small torch around which might be good for dramatic effect but can be very annoying. They seemed to get a better balance of lighting than usual.

About £240 on there various sellers.

Tip
Carry with battery body unscrewed, regardless of safety lock they can come on and set something on fire.

What are they like quality wise? fairly robust or tacky rubbish?

I was hoping to make some more videos for Go Below at some point but they are always so hard to get it bright enough.

A really good camera can work excellently in low light but I don't really want to shell out a grand (plus) I don't have. A brighter light for my existing camera might be a cheaper way of getting good results.

Are they alright?
