Brassed Off

Synopsis

Grimley Colliery is set to close as the accountants say there's more money in it shut than open, even after redundancy payments.

It means 1200 job losses, a dying town and the loss of its brass band.

But under the leadership of Danny, coughing with coal-dusted lungs, the band is somehow transformed into British champions with local lass Gloria whipping up the money needed to get them to the Albert Hall.
