I can remember them filming this, it was filmed in two different pit towns,, the opening scene where young Sam ( Kevin Moreton) is running up the pit fields was filmed in Featherstone nr Pontefract West Yorkshire and on the closing scenes it was also Featherstone,Ackton Hall Colliery, i know this as my Grandfather had a bakers shop on green lane Featherstone,and when i went to visit on occasion,was the film crews
I have looked all over for this. That opening theme kills me. There is so much of the past that stirs me when I hear it. Thank you so much for uploading this.
Sent shivers down my spine .... That tune ..... Reminds of my childhood .... In Yorkshire. ... I was about ten too .... Hot summers at my Nans in the summer holidays.
@TIBBSY me too tibbsy,i was a child in the 70's,but well remember all the tv-programmes then,music,fashion,etc. its my favourite decade...brings back great memories....hot summers too,especialy 75 + 76! fantastic decade/time!
Dont remember this..I would have been 12. Do you remember Lift Off with Ayesha. Cant find it on youtube. Do you know anywhere this could be viewed tibbsy?
i watched every episode of this series bas the last one. one or two of the actors didnt live much longer after the series finished-althea charlton & Michael goodliffe for instance !
MORE episodes of SAM PLEASE!!!!!!. The answer to an earlier question was YES!,Mark McManus did indeed play Sam as an adult.

I remember Sam as well. I was 10 at the time of the first series. Brilliant drama. Does anyone have the other episodes to load up?
