Yes, I watched it.
I'm from the area and I'm ashamed to say that I only knew vague details about these tragedies. It's hard to believe that those men went to work without basic safety measures in place in such treacherous conditions.

Yes, I did. It was excellent, very strong determined women. I love programmes like this, spotlighting little known stories and showing people power at its best.

i watched it. Full of admiration for Lil and Yvonne and all the women who campaigned Huge achievement.

Yes. It was brilliant. Hard to think that all that happened along the quay where Mr Chu is based!

Thanks for the recommendation.
At home, full of a cold, watched this yesterday and can’t stop thinking about it. Amazing story, well told. It should be more widely known about Shock

Thanks for this link, I'm going to watch tonight. I come from a family of Hull fisherman so this is close to my heart.

Signed and shared -thanks Paddington

Did anyone see the play that was performed in November about these ladies?

CoolCarrie · 16/02/2018 13:44

Signed and shared thank you for the link. It’s about time real heroes and heroines got honours instead of stage and film stars.

My mum went to the play said it was fantastic.
