The interviewee says they had been without electricity until the mid-1950s, they then got a television set and it was new and exciting though the picture was bad most of the time. She watched the Aberfan disaster and thinks that the fact it was in black and white made the broadcasting more striking. She watched the Investiture but disagreed with the principle, and says it was a very British perspective that was had on television.She remembered that Neil Kinnock objected to Devolution in 1979 and that the debate was completely different in 1997. Stayed up all night and enjoyed immensely. She does not remember the night of the launch of S4C exactly but enjoyed getting Welsh television every day and has watched many Welsh language programmes, she sometimes feels there is too much south Wales bias on the news. She remembers that the Miners' Strike was on every day, and felt that the miners were fighting for their communities but that the government did not see that and portrayed them as bad people.
