Too Long a Winter

Barry Cockcroft

Hannah Hauxwell

Award-winning documentary that follows the solitary existence of Hannah Hauxwell, a farmer who lives all alone in a remote farmhouse without electricity or running water, in the isolated dale of Baldersdale in County Durham. The documentary also follows the return of Brian and Mary Bainbridge to an even more remote farm further up Teesdale after they left several years earlier because the winters had been too severe and they had lost most of their sheep.

What follows in Barry Cockcroft’s wonderful portrait of the club’s last four fixtures of the 1981 season is a mixture of the bleak, the poignant and the hilarious. The scattered devoted few at the aptly named Tattersfield watch as Doncaster and Hull legend Tony Banham finally comes up trumps.
