There are shades of Made in Dagenham in this inspirational tale of industrial action. It's set during the 1984 miners' strike and recounts the birth of the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners movement, bringing macho miners and metrosexuals together in funny, rousing, sexy union. Ben Schnetzer is feisty Mark Ashton, the gay campaigner who leads a delegation to link up with the miners of Onllwyn, and the marvellous cast includes Bill Nighy, Paddy Considine and Imelda Staunton.
