(Philip Trevelyan, 1967, 30 mins, documentary/drama)

This documentary about a Sunday lunchtime at a Gateshead pub was a major influence on Amber and remains one of the best films ever made on Tyneside. It captures the sheer cultural richness of it all: the singing, the harmonica, the dominoes, the crack and the carryings-on against the dramatic backdrop of the rundown industrial Tyne. Using minimal drama alongside the documentary, the film sees young Tyneside poets Tom and Connie Pickard in the mix of customers.
