0:01:42 > 0:01:43- Since the 1960s...

0:01:44 > 0:01:48- ..the campaign for a Welsh-language - channel stole the headlines.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51- They have reached an agreement...

0:01:52 > 0:01:57- ..that the way forward was to have a - fourth channel for Welsh programmes.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01- The oppression of the Welsh language - is deceptively humble.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05- There was fierce debate - both for and against the channel.

0:02:06 > 0:02:11- Much of it appeared in Y Faner under - the editorship of Jennie Eirian.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50- I face the challenge - of piecing this together...

0:02:50 > 0:02:53- ..to discover - the real Jennie Eirian.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Jennie Eirian was born in 1925...

0:03:01 > 0:03:04- ..three years before women - won the right to vote...

0:03:05 > 0:03:09- ..and six months - before Plaid Cymru was founded.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Jennie was a Carmarthenshire girl.

0:03:16 > 0:03:22- She was the daughter of the Howells - family of Llandre in Llanpumsaint.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24- She's a heroine in the village.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Some residents still remember her.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32- I knew Jennie and saw her every day.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- She went to Carmarthen County School - for Girls...

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- ..and I went to school - in Llanpumsaint.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43- What do you remember about her?

0:03:43 > 0:03:48- I remember that she always - carried a book in her left hand...

0:03:48 > 0:03:52- ..as she walked to and from school.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56- She didn't talk a lot - because the book was more important.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Books took pride of place - throughout her life.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09- After school, Jennie would return - to a home without electricity.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11- This was normal at the time.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- She continued reading - by the light of a paraffin lamp...

0:04:16 > 0:04:21- ..but her father turned the lamp off - as reading was a waste of paraffin!

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- There was no love lost - between Jennie and her father.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- That's the impression I got.

0:04:29 > 0:04:34- He didn't want her to follow - her studies and go to university.

0:04:35 > 0:04:36- I don't think he wanted that.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40- It wasn't part of his plan - for his children.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Jennie earned a scholarship to - study at Aberystwyth University...

0:04:47 > 0:04:50- ..where she gained - first class honours in Welsh.

0:04:50 > 0:04:56- The degree aside, it's where she met - her husband-to-be, Eirian Davies.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Everybody knew of them as a couple.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02- They were truly in love.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Eirian spotted Jennie - at an Eisteddfod...

0:05:06 > 0:05:09- ..and found her very attractive.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13- The shoe was on the other foot - when they were at university.

0:05:13 > 0:05:18- When Eirian won the Chair and Crown - at the Intercollege Eisteddfod...

0:05:19 > 0:05:21- ..Jennie said, - "I'm going to marry him!"

0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Dad was quite bohemian in college...

0:05:28 > 0:05:31- ..whereas Mam - had a sheltered upbringing.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Mam found Dad to be - an exotic creature...

0:05:36 > 0:05:40- ..and he broadened Mam's horizons...

0:05:40 > 0:05:44- ..when they started dating - and eventually married.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47- He opened up her entire world.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Soon after their wedding...

0:05:53 > 0:05:58- ..Eirian was appointed the minister - of Moriah Chapel in Brynamman.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02- Jennie embraced her role as a wife - and mother to Sion and Guto...

0:06:02 > 0:06:08- ..but she also publically voiced her - opinions on the politics of Wales.

0:06:12 > 0:06:17- In June 1955, Jennie was the Plaid - Cymru candidate for Carmarthenshire.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- She was the only female candidate...

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- ..at a time when female politicians - were rare.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28- She wasn't only admired for her - eloquence but also her beauty.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Jennie was young, beautiful...

0:06:32 > 0:06:34- ..full of energy and enthusiasm.

0:06:34 > 0:06:39- She paved the way for politicians - such as Leanne Wood.

0:06:39 > 0:06:45- She broke the mould of the political - candidate who was typically male.

0:06:45 > 0:06:50- Jennie was a breath of fresh air - and that was her nature too.

0:06:53 > 0:06:54- I was young.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58- The young always have a dream - that they want to achieve.

0:06:59 > 0:07:04- Plaid Cymru's policies and stance - fuelled my dream.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10- By the late 1950s, Jennie - was a prominent figure in Wales...

0:07:11 > 0:07:14- ..as a politician, author - and television presenter.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19- Good afternoon and welcome - to another edition of Dwy Farn.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22- She voiced her opinion - on the day's burning issues.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Her influence - and status was growing.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30- In the late 1960s...

0:07:31 > 0:07:35- ..Eirian became the minister - of Bethesda Chapel in Mold...

0:07:35 > 0:07:37- ..and the family moved to the area.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42- It was very different to Brynamman - and quite anglicized...

0:07:43 > 0:07:47- ..but Jennie threw herself - into life in the town and chapel.

0:07:51 > 0:07:56- How was this lively Llanpumsaint - lady received in Mold?

0:07:56 > 0:08:01- She was highly respected - but I think some people feared her.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05- I remember a discussion with - the Merched y Wawr one evening...

0:08:05 > 0:08:09- ..about grants to keep children - in school for the Sixth Form.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12- Jennie was in favour - but I opposed it.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Jennie was ferocious - and I didn't want to stay behind.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18- She wiped the floor with me!

0:08:19 > 0:08:23- Another lady told me to take no - notice as she was always like that.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27- But we were always friends.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- We often clashed - but were always friends.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- She was in her element - as a Sunday School teacher.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Her sharp mind - was always challenging.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44- She was always one step ahead of us.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47- She could take our arguments - to pieces.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50- It wasn't vindictive - but very sensitive.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54- She played with us - like a cat plays with a mouse.

0:08:54 > 0:09:00- The more we justified our stance, - the deeper the debate became.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03- When she had finished...

0:09:03 > 0:09:08- ..she would throw her head back - and give out a great laugh.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11- It was a memorable experience.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16- Whilst in Mold, she established - a branch of Merched y Wawr...

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- ..and later became - its national president.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22- What was she like to work with?

0:09:22 > 0:09:24- She was a hardworking woman.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27- She did a lot of preparation.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31- She had a vision - and knew what she wanted to achieve.

0:09:31 > 0:09:36- We always had to learn any piece - that we were reciting...

0:09:36 > 0:09:39- ..because she didn't like paper - flapping around.

0:09:40 > 0:09:41- She would always say that.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- She was very thorough - in her preparation.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51- The Merched y Wawr - was very important to her.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54- She saw it as a movement...

0:09:54 > 0:09:58- ..that highlighted the role of women - within the community.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Their lineage didn't matter...

0:10:01 > 0:10:05- ..and neither - did their position in life.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09- It was important - for women to have opportunities.

0:10:09 > 0:10:10- Was she a feminist?

0:10:11 > 0:10:13- It's an interesting question.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14- Was Mam a feminist?

0:10:14 > 0:10:16- I don't think she was.

0:10:16 > 0:10:21- Those who knew her will say that - she was an early form of feminist...

0:10:21 > 0:10:23- ..but they are wrong.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26- She championed - success amongst women...

0:10:26 > 0:10:30- ..and their right to be equal - in every way to men.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34- However, she wasn't on the same page - as those feminists...

0:10:35 > 0:10:39- ..who wanted to re-define - the conditions of their lives...

0:10:39 > 0:10:41- ..and their role in the community.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45- She was happy to live - in a patriarchal society...

0:10:45 > 0:10:47- ..and be a successful part of it.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55- But Jennie wanted to share her views - with a wider audience...

0:10:56 > 0:11:00- ..and in 1979, she was appointed - as the editor of Y Faner.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04- It cemented her status - as a national commentator.

0:11:04 > 0:11:09- It was a pivotal role - and Jennie had a clear vision.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Y Faner is a magazine - and not a newspaper.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15- I expect the articles in Y Faner...

0:11:15 > 0:11:19- ..to give a deeper insight - into the issues discussed...

0:11:19 > 0:11:21- ..and offer more opinions.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26- This could be thought-provoking - but just as interesting.

0:11:26 > 0:11:32- But her editorship was criticized - by many prominent figures in Wales.

0:11:32 > 0:11:37- Is the editor of Y Faner happy - with the way in which Wyn Roberts...

0:11:37 > 0:11:39- It called for immense bravery...

0:11:40 > 0:11:45- Jennie Eirian Davies has lost - her way in terms of the channel.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50- I don't think - that Y Faner broke Jennie...

0:11:50 > 0:11:54- ..but it was the nation - or certain members of our nation...

0:11:54 > 0:11:56- ..who broke her spirit in the end.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01- Their conscience - has to deal with the consequences.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04- .

0:12:11 > 0:12:16- In the late 1970s, Jennie Eirian - became the new editor of Y Faner.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20- It was a tense and emotional time - in Welsh history...

0:12:20 > 0:12:23- ..but Jennie was in her element.

0:12:26 > 0:12:30- I am totally happy - as the editor of Y Faner.

0:12:30 > 0:12:34- This is the best job - I've had in my career to date.

0:12:35 > 0:12:39- Expectations were high - when she took the reins.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Y Faner was simply crawling along - when she took charge.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- She brought it back to life...

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- ..with a new blood - that was full of energy.

0:12:50 > 0:12:51- How did that happen?

0:12:51 > 0:12:53- How did that happen?- - It was her and nothing else.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Jennie Eirian - was the sort of person...

0:12:57 > 0:13:00- ..that both myself - and the nation could admire.

0:13:00 > 0:13:05- She had credibility, depth - and a true understanding.

0:13:05 > 0:13:10- She knew her people - and was very headstrong.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- She wasn't afraid - of offending people.

0:13:13 > 0:13:18- Dafydd Iwan hit out against - Alun R Edwards to silence him.

0:13:18 > 0:13:24- It's very dangerous to be unwilling - to listen to the views of others.

0:13:24 > 0:13:29- She wasn't a genteel Welsh woman...

0:13:29 > 0:13:31- ..who focused on Welsh issues.

0:13:31 > 0:13:36- Jennie Eirian would confront - the establishment if it was wrong.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38- We have to leave it there.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41- The role of editor - was a labour of love.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Three or four times a week...

0:13:44 > 0:13:48- ..Jennie travelled from Mold - to the Y Faner office in Bala.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55- There was a lack of resources.

0:13:56 > 0:14:01- There wasn't a telephone in her room - so had to go downstairs to use one.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05- She didn't have researchers - at her beck and call...

0:14:06 > 0:14:07- ..but did it all herself.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Jennie was like a one-man-band!

0:14:15 > 0:14:19- This type of work - is extremely gratifying...

0:14:19 > 0:14:22- ..and it's also of interest - to my family.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Eirian is very supportive...

0:14:25 > 0:14:29- ..and I know that our two sons - are also interested in it.

0:14:29 > 0:14:35- Y Faner was some kind - of Nirvana for Mam.

0:14:35 > 0:14:41- She spent her life working towards - achieving this position.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45- She was determined - to make Y Faner widely popular...

0:14:45 > 0:14:50- ..and offer a voice for everyone - no matter their politics or beliefs.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54- She faced quite a dilemma.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57- The public thought of Y Faner...

0:14:57 > 0:15:01- ..as a magazine that voiced - the opinions of Plaid Cymru.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06- She chose to question - some of these opinions...

0:15:06 > 0:15:08- ..and be less dogmatic.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12- She also had one eye - on the second population of Wales.

0:15:13 > 0:15:18- There were Welsh speakers similar to - those in her home of Llanpumsaint...

0:15:18 > 0:15:21- ..but there was also - the non-Welsh speakers.

0:15:21 > 0:15:26- She was very eager to unite - both parts of society in Y Faner.

0:15:27 > 0:15:32- But the political climate in Wales - was very sensitive at that time.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- People were fighting - for a Welsh television channel...

0:15:36 > 0:15:40- ..and Gwynfor Evans' stance - fuelled the campaign.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43- This is a very important matter.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47- I don't think that anything else - is as important...

0:15:47 > 0:15:50- ..for the future of Wales - and her heritage.

0:15:50 > 0:15:55- Jennie also wanted to present the - argument led by Jack L Williams...

0:15:56 > 0:16:00- ..stating Welsh programmes should - appear on more than one channel.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Many were annoyed with Jennie...

0:16:03 > 0:16:08- ..when she spoke out against - Gwynfor Evans and his hunger strike.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12- John Davies said it was a heresy - to challenge Gwynfor!

0:16:13 > 0:16:17- They wanted a general consensus - against the English government...

0:16:18 > 0:16:21- ..that there was full support - for Gwynfor...

0:16:22 > 0:16:27- ..but Mam took a stand against that - within the national family.

0:16:28 > 0:16:33- She would have been naive to think - there would not be repercussions.

0:16:34 > 0:16:40- The Welsh consider ourselves to be - polite, noble and respectable...

0:16:40 > 0:16:44- ..but we can be very unpleasant - when provoked.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47- Jennie got more - than her fair share...

0:16:47 > 0:16:52- ..of verbal abuse in the name of - our national character and identity.

0:16:53 > 0:16:58- Jennie gave the impression that - she was coping with this criticism.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01- I'm sure you've had - a very difficult time...

0:17:02 > 0:17:07- ..even from your closest friends - because you have disappointed them.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Yes, but when you take - a public position...

0:17:11 > 0:17:16- ..as the editor of a newspaper - or magazine or a media-based role...

0:17:16 > 0:17:20- ..then I hope we're prepared - for this kind of criticism.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24- I believe I said this in my first - editorial and I must face that.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- But privately, she was suffering...

0:17:28 > 0:17:32- ..and the strain of editing Y Faner - became too much for her.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40- The decision to step down - from her role as editor...

0:17:40 > 0:17:43- ..was something - that she didn't want to face.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46- She saw it as - a great admission of failure...

0:17:46 > 0:17:51- ..that she resigned from her - dream job amidst this controversy.

0:17:51 > 0:17:56- It was as if she couldn't face the - squabbles that she had created...

0:17:56 > 0:18:01- ..because she couldn't see a way out - of the dark place she had reached.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05- A week after resigning - from Y Faner...

0:18:05 > 0:18:09- ..she was dining with Eirian - and Sion at their home.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12- The events that followed...

0:18:12 > 0:18:16- ..continue to be both distressing - and tragic.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- What do you remember of that night?

0:18:23 > 0:18:25- Erm...

0:18:27 > 0:18:33- You tend to remember - these kinds of horrific events...

0:18:33 > 0:18:39- ..as if you're watching a film.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43- I had to break down - the locked bathroom door...

0:18:44 > 0:18:46- ..and I found Mam.

0:18:46 > 0:18:51- The first thing I remember is that - I had to stop Dad from seeing her.

0:18:52 > 0:18:57- I didn't let him in as I closed the - door so he couldn't see any of it.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01- After that, it gets confusing - as the police arrive and so on.

0:19:07 > 0:19:12- Were there any signs to suggest that - it was getting too much for her?

0:19:12 > 0:19:15- I didn't notice - any specific signs...

0:19:16 > 0:19:20- ..but I don't think - I was close enough to her...

0:19:20 > 0:19:23- ..in terms of a personal friendship.

0:19:23 > 0:19:29- I got the feeling that she thought - that people can be very cruel.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32- We didn't realize - that she was very hurt.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Her death shocked the nation.

0:19:37 > 0:19:42- Many failed to believe that she - had taken her life intentionally.

0:19:42 > 0:19:46- I always remember that - she had a great respect for life.

0:19:47 > 0:19:52- She definitely opposed abortion - and euthanasia...

0:19:52 > 0:19:58- ..so the events around her death - made no sense whatsoever.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02- People were unable to talk about it - for a very long time.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05- There are still doubts in my mind...

0:20:05 > 0:20:08- ..as to whether it was - a terrible accident.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12- I remember Gwyn Erfel - speaking in the chapel.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16- He said that the harp strings - were very taught and snapped.

0:20:16 > 0:20:20- Jennie was that harp - with the broken strings.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22- I'm not so sure.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25- She often complained - about wasting time...

0:20:25 > 0:20:30- ..and encouraged you to keep going - without feeling disheartened...

0:20:30 > 0:20:33- ..so I can't believe she did that.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Something else must have happened.

0:20:36 > 0:20:41- I've realized that she had reached - a point and was considering it.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Amongst her papers...

0:20:45 > 0:20:50- ..I found a cutting about the death - of the actress, Rachel Roberts.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54- She studied in Aberystwyth - at the same time as Mam.

0:20:54 > 0:20:59- A year before Mam's death, Rachel - had committed suicide in America.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Mam kept the cutting about it.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Rachel Roberts was discovered...

0:21:04 > 0:21:08- ..with alcohol and barbiturates - around her...

0:21:08 > 0:21:12- ..in the same circumstances - as we discovered Mam.

0:21:12 > 0:21:17- I suspect it was significant that - she took that cutting and kept it.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21- It was also very strange that - I was home for two days that May.

0:21:22 > 0:21:27- I was filming in Wrexham and stayed - with Dad and Mam for two nights...

0:21:27 > 0:21:30- ..and Mam had known about this - for many weeks.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33- It's odd that she did it - when I was home.

0:21:33 > 0:21:38- Did she do it at that time - because I would be home with Dad?

0:21:39 > 0:21:40- It's natural to think that.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47- The tributes flooded in.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50- People finally realized...

0:21:50 > 0:21:55- ..that she offered independent - opinions for the benefit of Wales.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Everything she did...

0:22:02 > 0:22:05- ..whether it was in the chapel...

0:22:06 > 0:22:09- ..as the national president - of Merched y Wawr...

0:22:10 > 0:22:13- ..as an author - of children's books...

0:22:13 > 0:22:15- ..or the editor of Y Faner...

0:22:16 > 0:22:18- ..was done - with the same aim in mind.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21- I think it was - her biggest contribution.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Wales was always at the fore.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32- We still miss her.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Nobody has come along - to take her place.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38- She has raised - the profile of women...

0:22:38 > 0:22:42- ..not just in the chapel - but in society as a whole.

0:22:42 > 0:22:48- We strive towards being like her - but we can never achieve that.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54- She had a story to tell - and a mission to achieve.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58- That mission was expressed - in a clear and concise way.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02- I wish that - there was someone, somewhere...

0:23:02 > 0:23:05- ..who could follow in her spirit...

0:23:05 > 0:23:09- ..and publish articles - in our newspapers and magazines.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13- They need proper - editorial leadership.

0:23:19 > 0:23:23- Jennie left a lasting impression - on everyone who knew her.

0:23:23 > 0:23:29- She was multitalented, headstrong, - had high standards and open minded.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32- But she was also - an important public voice...

0:23:32 > 0:23:36- ..who was silenced too early - and too suddenly.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39- We cannot allow her end - to obscure her life.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43- It's high time we remembered - Jennie Eirian properly.
