It featured cavers Kenny Taylor, Bob Emmett, Eddie Edmondson, and Gillian Luccock. First shown on BBC One in December 1977, it had six re-broadcasts over the next fourteen years. Beneath the Pennines won a number of awards including the Royal Television Society Regional Programme of the Year Award, and Pippikin Pot won the Sportif prize at the 1978 Festival International du Film de Spéléologie at La Chapelle-en-Vercors.
