Heart of the Angel

A look at 48 hours in the life of the Angel London Underground station, from the daily round of fraught commuters to overburdened lifts and cancelled trains. The programme also follows the nightly activities of 'fluffers', women who clean rubbish off the tracks to avoid a fire hazard, and uncovers how gangs of men work to renovate parts of the track in almost pitch-black conditions. First broadcast 23 November 1989

40 Minutes: Heart of the Angel airs on BBC Four HD at 12:30 AM, Tuesday 28 October. (Subtitles.)
