i thought the boys were good looking and they were mint ;), you can tell that the boys found liveing in those days really easy to coupe with but when they had to go down the mines they did find it difficult but as long as there having fun they should get through anything together. Mainly i thought Jac was MINT ;) x

I though they found life there easy at times because they had alot of people helping them byt then when they had to go down the mines they found it a bit dificulte.But all round i think they jus had fun , but iff that was there real life right naw i don't think they would be having as much fun as they was there.

Congratulations on a great series - our Bevin Boy Charlie T is now feeling withdrawal symptons after returning home - he is missing the other boys and families and wants to give up Uni to become a miner ! Watching the families come out on the set on Friday was very moving and we all shed a tear at the closing moments of the last programme! More Coal House please!
