Hugh Morris
This guest watched the Coronation on the street in Ystrad - with a crowd of other people in front of a local bicycle shop. He says that the fact that the pictures broadcast from Aberfan were in black and white added to the tragedy; the pictures demanded attention, it was as if no commentary was needed. He also discusses the money collected to help the people of Aberfan. He speaks of the trips from the valleys to watch international Rugby matches and the effect of television on the game. The Miners' Strike is discussed and the effect of television cameras on people's behaviour. For him the most memorable events ever on television were seeing pictures of the assassination of J F Kennedy and the release of Nelson Mandela.
