Hello and well done to everyone for putting together another excellent series, I am only gutted that our family wasnt chosen, but those that were did a fantastic job. will be looking forward to see if there are any more series to be made well done

Well done ±«Óãtv,all the families and the Bevan Boys on a brilliant programme! Could this not be broadcast into all regions of the ±«Óãtv. My parents have missed again a fantastic series. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this series as much as the first. It was great to see how all the families became a community so quickly. Its so sad that we cannot do that in currrent times of 2008.

What a fantastic series. Myself and my partner really enjoyed tuning in for a second time to enjoy a slice of living history. Echoes of the 1900 house of some years ago, with more grit and difficulty! We have had long discussions in our house about how hard it would be to live in the 40s anywhere, let alone in a hard working mining community, and the things we would miss from our modern lives. I am still not discouraged though and would love to experience it. Wouldn't it be great if people could take holidays living in another time period indtead of in another country - if anyone decides to do this then let me know - I will be first in the queue! I hope that the ±«Óãtv will decide to make another series - perhaps this time an earlier period - the 1880s perhaps, or even earlier? Now that would be a challenge!

I thought this years families were lovely, why bring back the same people, what's the point in that? I thought they taught us all a valuable lesson, in this day and age we put up walls around our houses to keep privacy in and people out, I hardly know my neighbour let alone talk over the fence to her. I wouldn't dream of asking to borrow a cup of sugar for fear she thought I was a sponger. We live in a very anti social age and the coal house at war families showed that even though times were hard they could still put a smile on their faces and face the difficulties without whinging but with a strong community spirit and with their heads held high. I believe the reason so many enjoyed it was because they showed what we are all craving to be able to rely on our neighbours and feel safe and valued in our communities. I for one miss watching it and would have loved it to go on longer so that we could see more of how they would cope after the war finished and how the women felt about giving up their jobs and going back to the house wife role, how the men coped after returning from war if they were lucky enough to and how the unfortunate places that were bombed were rebuilt and how the people who lived there coped. It's a great way to watch historical programmes with a new edge. ±«Óãtv please don't listen to narrow minded people like K Roberts and please bring it back next year, Im sure there are far more people out there who enjoyed it than didn't.

this coalhouse was not not up to the standard of the first one. what they should have done is to bring the very first three familiesd back not get new families. they all seemed to happy and played up to the cameras. this was really really rubbish i hope they dnt do another series, because they have spoiled it all.

I'm continually fascinated by this superior example of Reality TV, as it's known. Apart from all the obvious superlatives, I would like to specifically ask if anyone knows if there are any more verses to the lovely, sad 'Little Collier' song from this week's episode, or whether anyone knows of any other examples of this kind of pure folk music from industrial south wales. 'I am a little collier, And I gweithi underground. The raff will never torri when I go up and down. It's bara when I'm hungry. And cwrw when I'm dry. It's qweili when I'm tired. And nefoedd when I die...' Which is as near to a 12-bar blues as makes no difference.

MILLIE AND ELISE,
WE HAVE WATCH COAL HOUSE A LOT OF TIME A.ND MY FRIEND SAYS IT IS GOOD.
