-A revolution took place -in 20th century Wales. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:06 | |
-In the countryside -and the big cities... | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
-..the lives of thousands -of ordinary people... | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
-..were transformed by political, -economic and technological changes. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
-The old Welsh way of life ended -and a new one was born. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
-Witness to it all were the BBC's -journalists and film crews. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:27 | |
-The fruits of their labours can be -seen in thousands of film cans. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:32 | |
-Many of them haven't been opened -since the day they were broadcast. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
-I'm going to share some of the best -from this forgotten era. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
-The films, the stories -and the characters... | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
-..that, between them, -record our nation's history. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
-At the turn of the 20th century, -in the eyes of Welsh society... | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
-..being respectable was almost more -important than anything else. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
-The communities' moral policemen... | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
-..were sure of their place -in chapel on a Sunday. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
-But as the decades past, -religion's hold slackened... | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
-..as a new generation -challenged the moral boundaries. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
-# The man next to Jacob's well | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
-# Who previously sat down... # | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
-Nonconformity reached its height -in Wales in 1904. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
-The country was shaken -by a revival. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
-It all started in Ceredigion... | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
-..as crowds of people flocked to -listen to charismatic preachers... | 0:01:43 | 0:01:48 | |
-..and lost themselves -in spiritual experiences. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-A handsome theology student -called Evan Roberts... | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
-..attended one of these in -Blaenannerch near Cardigan. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
-During the prayer meeting... | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
-..he had an experience -which changed his life. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
-I heard a noise. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
-There was a commotion -in the seat over there... | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
-..where Evan Roberts was sitting... | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
-..along with others near him. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
-I was unhappy -with all the noise. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
-I opened my eyes to see -what it was... | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
-..and to my surprise I saw -Evan Roberts lying on the floor. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
-Mona Davies, New Quay, -and others... | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
-..were wiping the sweat -that was pouring out of him. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
-Evan Roberts answered the call... | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
-..that came from God -for him to go out around Wales... | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
-..to spread the eternal gospel. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
-Evan Roberts returned to the -area of his birth, Loughor... | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
-..convinced that the Holy Spirit -had directed him... | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-..to spread the gospel -among young people. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
-After a week of meetings -when dozens of people... | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
-..confessed their sins, he held a -special service on the Sunday... | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
-..as remembered by his -sister, Mrs Sidney Evans. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
-It was obvious to everyone he had -experienced something profound. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
-Evan asked everyone who had -confessed to the Lord Jesus... | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
-..during the week to stay behind. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
-The doors were closed... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
-..and Evan gave us a prayer -to pray. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
-Oh, send the Holy Spirit now -for the good of Jesus Christ. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
-Before half the congregation -had finished the prayer... | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
-..the place was ablaze. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
-People were moaning under -the burden of their sins. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
-They confessed -and one or two shouted... | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
-.."Stay your hand, Jesus, -I can't hold any longer." | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-The heavenly fires -grasped the hearts... | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
-..of hundreds of young -Welsh people... | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
-..as the Revival swept -through the country. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
-Without doubt, one of the -most effective ways... | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
-..of spreading the Revival -was in the press... | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
-..especially in the Western Mail -in the south. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
-# But the one who was crucified | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
-# On Calvary... # | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
-Another element that spread -the divine word was the singers. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
-Annie Davies was 17 years old when -she went to Pontycymer one day... | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
-..in November 1904. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
-What was Pontycymer like that day? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
-The roads were packed -with people... | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
-..from the station to the chapel. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-I had quite a job getting in -myself. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
-But you managed to get inside? | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
-Yes, in two hours. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
-What happened in the chapel? -What was it like? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
-It had reached boiling point. -Everyone was singing and praying. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
-Did anything happen to you? | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
-In the silence... | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
-..I felt I had to sing. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
-Dyma Gariad Fel Y Moroedd. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
-After you sang -Dyma Gariad Fel Y Moroedd... | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
-..what happened before the end -of the meeting? | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
-Evan Roberts came up to me -and asked me... | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
-..he told me I had to join him -on the mission. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
-And you went? | 0:05:45 | 0:05:46 | |
-And you went? - -Yes. I left everything. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
-I didn't even go home. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
-How long were you with him? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:52 | |
-A year. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:54 | |
-A year. - -A whole year? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
-This is the testimony of a man -who was saved in 1904... | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
-..with the divine fire -burning in his heart. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
-As I told you, I was exactly -like John Bunyan... | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-..being weighed down by guilt. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
-He had shown me the depths of -the corruption in my nature. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
-I didn't lead a bad life. -I was very religious. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
-The danger was being self-righteous -and a Pharisee. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:24 | |
-There was no real experience -of conversion... | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
-..or a definite internal change -in my heart. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
-When did this conversion -take place? | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
-God worked slowly in the meetings -I attended. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
-But in Llandrindod Wells -the light dawned on my soul. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
-In that verse, -God is in Christ... | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
-..that God was reconciling -the world to himself... | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
-..not holding people's -sins against them. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
-When I heard that I said, "What? | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
-"God reconciles himself? -He reconciles me too." | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
-"Yes", I was told. -"Thank you", I said. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
-I left that meeting -with a lightness of spirit. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
-I didn't touch the ground. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
-I've told you, -I've never doubted that. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
-Never. That stayed with me. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
-I've stumbled along the journey -and been disobedient... | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
-..but that has stayed with me -to this day. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
-# I wandered on | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
-# In the darkness... # | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
-The 1904 Revival inspired Welsh -chapel-goers for many years. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:34 | |
-But such numbers were never seen -again in the houses of worship. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:39 | |
-The religious influence -of the establishment faded... | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
-..during the 20th century and -the people of Wales embraced... | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
-..a more materialistic -and commercial way of life. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
-During the '60s, the Sabbath -became a symbolic battlefield... | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
-..in the war between the chapel's -spiritual tradition... | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
-..and the material temptation -of the pub. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
-In a referendum held in 1961... | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
-..the people of five eastern -counties voted in favour... | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
-..of Sunday opening. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:10 | |
-Seven years later, -another referendum was held. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
-Ministers were determined -to fight... | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
-..to defend the sanctity -of the Sabbath. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
-Drunkenness and alcohol problems -are bigger than ever these days... | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
-..especially among young people. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
-The Sunday opening of pubs -won't help that situation. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:33 | |
-We need to appeal to the -non-conformist conscience. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
-We have traditions. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
-We are a country, we have a -language and traditions... | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
-..and we're determined to keep -Wales' Sabbath traditions. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
-We have to oppose it. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:50 | |
-We have to do all we can to stop it -destroying our country... | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
-..and making us similar -to other countries. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
-For some, Welshness itself -was being threatened. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
-Some of the tavern's ardent users -acknowledged that. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
-# I am not an abstainer | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
-# And I shout at the top -of my voice | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
-# The door of the tavern -shouldn't open on a Sunday | 0:09:14 | 0:09:19 | |
-# To please the English | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
-# Attracting that kind of visitor | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
-# To Wales won't do any good | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
-# The money will only go to -the beer and petrol industries | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
-# Several old Christians | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
-# Walking in the ditch | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
-# To make room for the Teddy Boys' -fathers to pass | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
-# If they come here -for their health | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
-# To the hills of gentle Wales | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
-# It's not in a bottle or a pint -you will see a country's beauty. # | 0:10:03 | 0:10:09 | |
-The leader of the campaign -for Sunday opening... | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
-..was David Baird-Murray, who -calls the situation hypocritical. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
-There's already Sunday opening -throughout Wales. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
-Every county in Wales -is open on a Sunday. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
-The clubs are open -throughout Wales. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
-The only place which is shut -on a Sunday is the pub. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-Denbighshire, Montgomeryshire -and Pembrokeshire said yes... | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
-..in the 1968 referendum. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
-Three years later, -in a third referendum... | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
-..three other areas joined them, -including Dinefwr. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
-But not everyone welcomed -the decision. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-It seems the vote in Dinefwr -has been as much of a shock... | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
-..to Ammanford's landlords -as it was to everyone else. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-Before, if you wanted a pint -on a Sunday... | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
-..you had 18 clubs to choose from -within a mile of the town square. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
-There you had cheap beer, bingo -and an act to listen to. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
-But now the pubs are also open. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
-Several landlords in Ammanford -aren't happy about that... | 0:11:10 | 0:11:15 | |
-..such as Mr and Mrs Emrys Jones -who run The Telegraph Hotel... | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
-..on the high street, -who are chapel-goers. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
-They opened their doors last Sunday -and served four customers. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
-And yesterday, there were only -four again. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
-The brewery isn't insisting -the Joneses open... | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
-..but they have suggested -they try it for a week or two. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
-Are you surprised the vote in -Dinefwr went the way it did? | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
-Yes, I was very disappointed, -as was Emrys. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-I've noticed you only have a few -customers here on a Sunday. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:49 | |
-Only three or four. -Has that surprised you? | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
-Yes, I was disappointed -last Sunday. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
-You expected more? | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
-Yes. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:58 | |
-But I didn't expect more to come -on Sunday night... | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
-..because most of the boys, -I call them boys... | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
-..go to the club, naturally. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
-There's entertainment there. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
-And Ammanford's clubs -are as busy as ever. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
-The Pick and Shovel's car park -was full... | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
-..and 200 people were inside -playing bingo. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
-It was the same in the town's other -17 clubs while the pubs are quiet. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
-During the '70s, -a new threat appeared... | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
-..to challenge the -old Welsh way of life. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
-A more shocking moral challenge -than drinking on a Sunday. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
-. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:37 | |
-Subtitles | 0:12:43 | 0:12:43 | |

-By the '70s the social changes -that started a decade earlier... | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
-..seeped into every area of Wales. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
-Moral conventions were challenged -by a new generation... | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
-..that yearned for a more -open attitude towards... | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
-..pleasures of the flesh. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
-But enough was enough for -Aberystwyth Town Council. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
-In 1972, they banned the town's -cinemas from showing the film... | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
-..Last Tango in Paris -because of its raw portrayal... | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
-..of a sexual relationship. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:21 | |
-If you have an interest -in X Rated films... | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
-..don't let members of Aberystwyth -Town Council find out. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
-As well as refusing to allow -one film to be shown here... | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
-..they have also asked the -Festival of Light for advice... | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
-..about what they should do -in future. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
-Mary Whitehouse herself has said -it's wonderful to see... | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
-..such an enlightened example -coming from Wales. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
-So in Aberystwyth you have to be -vigilant, to say the least. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
-It's a huge disappointment. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
-It's obvious that the council -and the Festival of Light think... | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
-..people here can't think -for themselves. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
-The council can now tell us what -to watch and what not to watch. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
-We need to think for ourselves more -and that will help people here. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
-Would you go and watch an X Rated -film in Aberystwyth? | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
-No, not because they're X Rated -in themselves. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
-I've got better things to do -than watch such films. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
-What kind of films do you watch? | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
-Those which are known -as being well-made films. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
-I don't believe in spending -three hours... | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
-..watching something sordid -like Last Tango. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
-I support them in this case -because... | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
-..I feel there was no need for -this kind of film to be made. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:48 | |
-It shows a deterioration... | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
-..of the man and the young woman. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
-Marlon Brando himself said, -and he was in the film... | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
-..he felt... | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
-..manipulated and never took part -in such a film again. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
-While Aberystwyth councillors -worried about... | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
-..their voters' moral health... | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
-..staff at Cardiff's Whitchurch -Psychiatric Hospital... | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
-..worried about the effects of -drink and drugs on young people. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
-Why do you think more young people -suffer from alcoholism these days? | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
-Well, I think young people -these days... | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
-..think that life has become -more difficult. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:35 | |
-They're looking for kicks. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
-Can the family help them -and are families helping enough? | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
-I don't think families -are doing enough. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
-These young people don't think -their parents understand them... | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
-..and they don't understand -their parents and don't want to. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:56 | |
-Do you know how many people in -Wales suffer from alcoholism? | 0:15:56 | 0:16:01 | |
-Our estimate is one in a hundred. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
-This means 20,000 people -in Wales... | 0:16:05 | 0:16:10 | |
-..are having problems as a result -of alcohol. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
-Is it more of a problem among -young people than it's been? | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
-We don't see that in this area. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
-The young people -have turned to drugs. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
-That's a bigger cause for concern -than alcohol. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
-Despite this, some young people -didn't seem too worried... | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
-..about the danger of drugs. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
-Even in rural Carmarthen, a -large crowd could be attracted... | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
-..to listen to recommendations -to legalize cannabis. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
-One speaker insisted that -more and more people... | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-..realized that cannabis wasn't any -worse than tobacco and alcohol. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
-The campaign called on the -politicians to legalize cannabis... | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
-..and there was a detailed review -on how to control its sale. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
-One speaker said it's inevitable... | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
-..that cannabis will be -legal before long. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
-One said there were hundreds of -cannabis smokers in Ceredigion. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
-Nobody here tonight said cannabis -wasn't harmful. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
-I've smoked, -I've drank a pint in a pub... | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
-..just like thousands of other -people in the country. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
-But they don't sit... | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
-They aren't the ones lying in bed -and there's a commotion downstairs. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
-You can hear noise. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
-The next minute a policeman -opens your bedroom door. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
-Your bedroom! Where else can you -be completely safe? | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
-You're not doing anything -to anyone. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
-The fact they can -come into your house... | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
-..and can do whatever they like -to you in your house. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
-They can't do that if you're -watching TV with a glass of Scotch. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
-As a younger generation -experimented with drugs... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
-..the Welsh countryside -became a magnet... | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
-..for people who wanted to turn -their backs on urban life... | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
-..and expand their minds. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
-In the mid '70s, -a plan was hatched to turn... | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
-..a quiet corner of Mid Wales -into one of the world's... | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
-..largest drugs capitals. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
-On 14th April 1975, a serious -accident occurred on this bend. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
-A Range Rover travelling from -Machynlleth to Aberystwyth... | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
-..failed to take this corner -and crashed into a car. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
-A minister's wife travelling -in the car was killed. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
-The Range Rover's driver, -Richard Kemp, a young chemist... | 0:18:43 | 0:18:49 | |
-..faced serious charges -as a result of the accident. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
-When the police searched -the Range Rover... | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
-..they found a piece of paper -which had Hydrazeme Hydrate... | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
-..written on it - -the key chemical when making LSD. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
-That accidental discovery was the -police's first big important clue. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:11 | |
-It was the beginning of the end -for the biggest drugs plot... | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
-..this country has ever seen. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
-Richard Kemp was making his way -back home to Penlleinau... | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
-..a remote house near Tregaron. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
-With him in the car was his -girlfriend, Dr Christine Bott. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
-Both led a quiet life -as husband and wife. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
-Despite not living in luxury -in Penlleinau... | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
-.they holidayed -in exotic locations... | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
-..and had thousands of pounds -in a Swiss bank. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
-Kemp and Bott were part of a huge -business supplying LSD... | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
-..across Europe. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
-But the LSD factory -wasn't in Penlleinau. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
-For those who travel from north -to south through Mid Wales... | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
-..you have passed Plas Llysin -dozens of times. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
-It's on the outskirts of Carno -on the main road. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
-Plas Llysin has 27 rooms, but -the only use made of the house... | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
-..was to erect a tent -in the hallway to live in. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
-In the cellar, they built -sophisticated equipment... | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
-..to produce the purest LSD -in the world. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
-During the months Kemp produced -the drugs here... | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
-..he and his friends were under -the influence of those drugs. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
-The LSD was sent to London and -other distribution centres... | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
-..in Europe. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:32 | |
-Half of the world's supply of LSD -was made in this cellar. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
-While Plas Llysin -saw a lot of activity... | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
-..other people were busy working - -the police. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
-At the end of 1975, -a taskforce was formed... | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
-..made up of 26 of the best -detectives from 11 British forces. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
-Some of them kept a close eye -on Plas Llysin. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
-I was staying in a caravan. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
-We carried out surveillance -through a gap in the curtain. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
-To be honest, Terry Stokes and I -were responsible... | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
-..for finding the first lead. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
-We entered the cellar in Carno -in the middle of the night... | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
-..and took a handful of mud -from the drains in the cellar. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:24 | |
-It was sent off to the laboratory -in Aldermaston. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
-We had some news in a few days -that the mud contained LSD. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:34 | |
-While this was going on... | 0:21:35 | 0:21:36 | |
-..another team of detectives -was watching Penlleinau. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
-They lived in cottages and spent -hours on the hill opposite... | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
-..recording every movement. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
-This went on for a year... | 0:21:47 | 0:21:48 | |
-..with detectives crossing over -to France for evidence. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
-On March 26th last year, -the decision was made to act. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
-At five o'clock in the morning, -800 police officers... | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
-..raided 80 houses across Britain, -including Penlleinau. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
-In the middle of a pile of manure -they found a million LSD tablets. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:09 | |
-By the end of 1977, -the main conspirators... | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
-..were all in jail awaiting trial. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
-It was in jail -that the main characters... | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
-..started talking to the police. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
-As a result, the police came back -to Penlleinau... | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
-..on 1st December 1977. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
-They dug up every inch of ground -in Penlleinau. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
-Under the cement and the tiles... | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
-..a plastic bucket was discovered. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
-In the plastic bucket were three -jars containing pure LSD. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:42 | |
-It had a street value -of 14 million. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:49 | |
-We've all done a valuable job. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
-I hope that the public... | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
-..will understand -we've done a good job. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
-I'm sure of one thing. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
-The young people of Britain, if not -the young people of the world... | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
-..will be grateful -we've done what we've done. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 | |
-Despite all the police's efforts, -the cat was out of the bag. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 | |
-Where once young people yearned -for religious enlightenment... | 0:23:18 | 0:23:23 | |
-..a new generation in Wales -wanted a chemical thrill. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:28 | |
-In less than a century, -Wales had shaken off its image... | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
-..as the land of the white gloves -for ever. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
