BBC Radio 4:" Saturday Morning Live"

 Tom Daley, diver, celebrity guest 
Ann Shaw, ex -patient ( 1950-54) was invited on to BBC Radio 4 :"Saturday Morning Live" last Saturday (October 16 ) to talk about her years in the sanatorium and how she came to re-connect with that past experience  through this blog which eventually , with the help of medical historian Dr Carole Reeves,  became the book"The Children of Craig-y-nos".


The celebrity guests on the programme were Tom Daley, diver, and pop singer Anne-Marie.

Ann comes on at the end of the programme . She says:" I am pleased that at long last we are able to talk about that dark time in Welsh history  of being isolated for years from the community in a remote castle deep in the Welsh valleys. Many of us were traumatised by that experience and only now is this being recognized."
