Valerie Brent former nurse from the 1940s tells me she was interviewed last week for the new BBC series which looks at 50 years of the National Health Service.
Also interviewed was Barbara Pye ,one of the first people to receive streptomycin.
" It was snowing when we got to Craig-y-nos - just like old times."
I got the impression Valerie had a ball with the television people and they gave her a bouquet of flowers!
Valerie said:" I really surprised myself too! There were so many stories to tell."
Earlier in the week they interviewed Carole Reeves, Outreach Historian with the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine,UCL and co-author of The Children of Craig-y-.nos.
"The Children if Craig-y-nos" by Ann Shaw and Carole Reeves, price £9.99, paperback is available from Amazon.co.uk
