Episode overview
Tonight's documentary visits the small mining village in South Wales where, in October 1966, disaster struck when a coal tip above the village collapsed and crashed down the hillside at speed, sweeping everything up which lay in its path. How are the villagers coping with their grief 30 years on? This respectful documentary commemorates the disaster and features archive footage alongside contemporary interviews with some of the survivors and the bereaved parents.
