  Loach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Loaches are freshwater fishes of the family Cobitidae, small benthic (bottom-dwelling) fishes with a flattened ventral profile.
Loaches are mostly scavengers and are omnivorous, usually not very picky about their food.
Because of their scavenging nature and their ability to adapt to many freshwater ecosystems, some loaches have been introduced to waters in regions which they are not native to and may pose problems to local wildlife as an invasive species.

 Loach, Ken
Loach worked for a brief spell as a repertory actor before joining the BBC in 1963 as a trainee television director.
Loach's earliest directorial contribution was on episodes of the ground-breaking police series Z-Cars, but he first attracted serious attention with Up the Junction, a starkly realistic portrayal of working-class life in South London, which went out in 1965 as one of the earliest productions in the BBC's innovative Wednesday Playslot.
It was probably this unsavoury experience, and the greater freedom afforded by cinema, that drove Loach away from television at the end of the 1980s.

 Grandena on Leigh
Loach also started to experiment with the 'documenting the actor' type of filming (actors are filmed even when they have stopped performing).
Loach collaborated six times with writer Jim Allen, and three of their contributions for television are also discussed by Leigh: _The Big Flame_ (1969), _The Rank and File_ (1971), and _Days of Hope_ (1975).
Between 1981 and 1986 Loach almost exclusively made documentaries that are all explicit about politics, and it is with these non-fiction works that the author concludes Chapter 5: Loach's documentaries of the 1980s show everyday people presenting themselves with their own voices through the use of interviews, discussions, and explanatory voice-overs.

Loach interviewed a teacher who was upset by this manipulation and, needless to say, the film would not have been beneficial to the charity, and they tried to have the film destroyed.
Loach has also, aside from casting ‘real people', made use of the sagacity of people experiencing lives similar to those in the plot, in the attempt to be factually correct in the representation he gives.
This is particularly the case as we watch her actions at his funeral, indicating Loach’s approach to the uncovering of history, and the willingness to follow through the traditions of the struggle, and the notion of a solidarity transcending generations.
