Menna Davies

The interviewee had no television and she would be invited to friends' houses to watch children's programmes. She remembers that a sheet would be draped over the screen every night. The interviewee says that she was not conscious of events in Tryweryn at the time, heard much more later. She remembers watching the Aberfan disaster on television in Bangor College, and thinks that all the attention the event got has helped make coal mines safer. She says she avoided the Investiture, the broadcasting portrayed it as an event especially for the Welsh.She watched the launch of S4C, and says she was very excited, it has raised the status of the Welsh language and has influenced the increase in the number of Welsh-medium schools in the Wrexham area. The broadcasting during the Miners' Strike made her look at both sides of the story.
