Wales Miners Strike

40 years on from the Miners' strike, a special programme looks at how the events of 1984/85 continue to shape Wales' economy, people, politics and communities.

As the miner's strike got underway, the pay cheques stopped and the bills piled up, so women across the South Wales coalfield began to come together.

A miner and the police officer who arrested him during strikes 40 years ago this week have been reunited.
