On reflection I realise that the programme yesterday while accurate (a) did not mention the Craig-y-nos project (b) the exhibition in Swansea museum or (c) how BBC online kick-started the project through their community web-site (d) or how the this missing piece of history has only been made possible through the internet and it is an intergenerational project because it is the children and grandchildren who are acting as intermediaries in piecing together the lost 40 years.
The programme was also weak on analysis. While it mentioned Betty Thomas' forced abortion it did not put this into the historical perspective .
However, radio and television are notorious for lifting the research of others without any acknowledgement, so I guess yesterday's programme was par for the course.
