1 - The Living Legend was about his return to the Black Country. Episode 2 - Up with the Workers - looked into a Black Country-man's working day and included visits to a foundry, a century-old metal workshop, a modern cycle factory and finally Hill does a day's stint with a blacksmith. Episode 3 - Sweat of the Brow - continued the industrial theme with visits to a brick-yard and to a crystal glass factory. Episode 4 - Come Saturday - focused on leisure activities such as pigeon racing, whippets, bare-fisted fighting and a pub-night. In 1976 he made a film about his stepson for the series The Light of Experience called Closed World of Love which dealt with the themes of the book of the same name. Radio In 1973, Hill gave five talks on the men and crafts of the Black Country on Radio 4. Following that, much of his radio work was built around his books, including readings from A Cage of Shadows (1973), a single programme with the title The Second Meadow broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1977, a series of readings from Closed World of Love in 1978 and a five-part broadcast, again of The Second Meadow, in 1982. A dramatisation of Hill’s novel, A Corridor of Mirrors, was broadcast by BBC radio in 1977. He also participated in discussion programmes dealing with themes that were predominant in his writing such as poaching and the industrial West Midlands.
