What music was used in the trailer?

@GuienGarma It's 'The Entertainer', which is from the film 'The Sting'.

@deathtotheunions A person who calls someone a tosser is a tosser himself! :)

If you are so superior then why do you spell like a child and use childish insults? Blimey my 3 year-old cousin has more sense than you.

1980s Britain looks so grim. When i think of the 80s in Britain i think of grey skies smoggy air and ugly red brick terrace houses...

Ian MacGregor described his plan for the industry as "intelligent and progressive" - very similar to the rhetoric being used by today's government in defense of its public sector cuts. Looking back, we can see the utter devastation caused by these "progressive" plans, so for anyone working in industries under attack today (and particularly to those who still can't see what's coming), please bear in mind what happened to the miners & support your union. We can't let the government do this again.
