BBC brought out a new documentary series produced by Roger Mills called ’40 Minutes’.  Rough Justice was the opening film in the new series. The film is about a woman’s attempt to play snooker in a working men’s club, the committee of  which doles out  rough justice in a series of kangaroo courts.  1981 (40’)

Forty Minutes, the first of a new series, was Karl Francis' Under Milk Stout Wood, a loving hymn to the village of Deri and the Working Man's Institute, which is at the heart of Deri.  (Guardian) 

This film is chaotic, sometimes confusing, but never dull.  (Time Out)

Made in 1981, this film explores a theme which Karl Francis returns to again and again - that of sexism in WelshValleys culture. The film documents shop steward Dilys Hardacre's struggle to be admitted too her local working men's club to play snooker.  Despite being a union official they argue she’s not a "working man".   Additional quote:  Sean Day Lewis in the Daily Telegraph "This week we saw the tenth anniversary of the excellent BBC documentary series 40 Minutes which has won every BAFTA and RTS award going.  The outstanding film in the series for me remains the first one ever broadcast, Rough Justice by Karl Francis".
