The Story of Wales – episode 6: Wales and Britain






The sixth and final episode of the BBC Wales series ‘The Story of Wales’ followed the events and changes in Wales from WWII to the present day, covering a host of topics such as WWII bombing in Swansea, the start of the NHS under Aneurin Bevan, the steel industries at Port Talbot, Ebbw Vale and Shotton, the Welsh language movement and the steps towards independent Welsh government. This popular series has been valuable in increasing understanding of the history of Wales and has sparked debate into what it means to be Welsh in the 21st century. The episodes are viewable on BBC iPlayer for the next few days and a DVD is now available through the Open University. The series will be shown again on BBC Two shortly.
