0:02:56 > 0:02:59- He was an apprentice - tractor mechanic.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30- It was too late by then anyway.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49- I wasn't going to try - anything fantastic.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- I was just settling down - in the race.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- We'll be going to Monaco.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- ..according to the authorities...
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- ..Token were refused permission - to race in Monaco.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33- I joined a queue, - unfortunately not at the top...

0:04:37 > 0:04:39- He didn't come - to Williams unfortunately...
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- ..and he was right not to do so, - but I rated him very, very highly.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26- These were different drivers - in a different era.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- You heard them say, - "He drove the wheels off the car."
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- He was a superb driver. In the rain, - in wet weather, he was incredible.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42- He was considered to be - the best in the rain.

0:07:16 > 0:07:21- He jumped out of the car, - everyone thought he was excited...
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- ..but the petrol - was coming through his jacket.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- He won the race - and people in Formula 1...
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- ..started taking notice of him.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- This was a time when racing drivers - were famous around the world...
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- ..and there were - one or two playboys too.

0:07:41 > 0:07:46- He was a very quiet man. He was shy, - he didn't like talking to the media.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- When he was racing, you couldn't - speak to him before a race.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- You stayed out of the way.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57- He had close friends, closer than I - was, and they attended the races...
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- ..but you left him alone - before a race.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06- Once the race was over, he would - head straight for his caravan.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- He had no desire to be a star.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- He was one of the sport's quiet men.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- The sport has changed so much today.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Was he a star in Wales at the time?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- It's odd how things happen. - Back then, no.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- When he was on top of his game...
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- ..I never thought he had - the praise he deserved in Wales.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- He was a Welsh hero. He received - more attention after his death.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- People didn't realise - how good he was at the time.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- You mentioned his death there.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48- Gwyneth was out on her rounds - working as a district nurse.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- There were people - waving at me from their houses.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- I didn't understand - what they wanted.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- I went into some house in Pwllglas.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04- I would always put the news - on the radio before leaving there.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- For some reason that was - the only day I ever decided...
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- ..not to switch on that radio.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- I could see another district nurse - coming up behind me.
0:10:15 > 0:10:21- I reached the gate at home and - there were people waiting for me.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26- I was immediately fearful - that there had been an accident.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- I must say - a cold shiver ran down my back.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- A couple of the journalists - were staring at me.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- I suppose they were - sensation seekers.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- I'm sure they'd heard before I had.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46- Then Alan Rees came up and said - "Nella, there's been an accident.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- "A bad accident - and Thomas has been killed."
0:10:49 > 0:10:50- I couldn't believe it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- You just don't because - it's such an extraordinary thing...
0:10:54 > 0:10:55- ..for someone to say to you.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- I couldn't possibly take it in, - just like that.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29- Our fathers were best friends.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34- I didn't know the connection - between my father and Jack...
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- ..until I read it in a book.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- My father was a policeman...
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- ..and unfortunately, Jack and - Gwyneth received some bad news...
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- ..about the death of their son.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- My father was the one - who broke the news to them...
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- ..when Jack was working - on a local farm.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14- ..informing him - of what had happened.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- If it had happened in this country, - this would never have happened.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- In South Africa, there was no way - of stopping the media reporting it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Jack was in the garden - when he heard.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Gwyneth was in work - as a district nurse.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- By the time Dad arrived, - they already knew.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- It's hard to comprehend - hearing such sad news.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- It was a romantic time - for Grand Prix, it still is...
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- ..but that was a special time.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- It was also a dangerous time.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16- James Hunt won the race - in Silverstone.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- I joined Maldwyn and his father - in a marquee...

0:13:45 > 0:13:49- There was always a great - rivalry between him and Hunt.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- He could have been world champion, - many people say that.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- It's a pity - he's not remembered more.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- There is a memorial to him - in Ruthin.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46- ..who's been busy changing clubs...

0:30:58 > 0:31:01- I was practising - in Neath Con Club for a year.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- I moved there last January. Didn't - have any idea it would shut down.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10- I got my table in there - and started practising.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- The secretary came in - and said it was shutting down.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- That was a bit of a nightmare - cos I'd only just moved in there.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- I was on Twitter and Facebook - asking people...
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- ..if they were willing for me - to put a table in the club.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- Luckily, - Ian Terry come to my rescue.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- Average club table would just be...
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- ..put the table up, - put the cloth on and away you go.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- With a professional set up, - you need under table heaters...
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- ..the cloth - is an ultra shaven cloth.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- In the club, it's a lot thicker. - The lighting in the club is shades.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Professional lighting, - you don't get many shadows.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- It's expensive to set up, but as - a professional, you need to do it.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- My performance in the Welsh Open - wasn't great, if I'm honest.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- Every year I go up there, I feel - more pressure than the other events.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- I played a young boy, Tyler Rees, - in the first round.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- I thought as an inexperienced - amateur player...
0:32:09 > 0:32:15- ..I thought he would go for a lot - of balls and make it easy for me.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- That wasn't the case whatsoever.
0:32:17 > 0:32:23- He played very well. His safety - and shot selection was very good.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- I won 4-1 but it could have been - the other way around.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- An old friend of mine, - I practised with him years ago.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- Both of us never settled down. - It was a funny old game.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39- I could have won 4-2 but was on - the other end of that loss, 4-2.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- Dominic's a great player.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- He showed his class - in a couple of the frames.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49- My downfall is I do tend to - go missing in a couple of events.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- The top players perform - to their best...
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- ..every tournament - or other tournament.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59- I'll have a good tournament - and then I'll go missing for a bit.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01- Consistency has got to improve.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- I started exercising really - to help my snooker.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- I feel more switched on - and more alert when I'm practising.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- I feel a lot happier in myself - which is a great thing in snooker.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- A lot of it is in the mind.
