Wales in the Seventies

Using colour archive, personal stories and a nostalgic soundtrack, this four-part people's history tells the dramatic story of the rebellion by the young generation who helped create a new Wales in the 1970s. Carol Vorderman, Mike Doyle, Rhys Mwyn, Caryl Parry Jones, Gareth 'Gaz Top' Jones and others reveal their secrets and tell it how it was.

The moving story of teenage sex lives during a decade when the pill started to be widely used by young people. The sexual revolution brought many benefits, including a new-found freedom for homosexuals. But sex before marriage could also lead to tragedy, which was most intense with the forced adoption of the babies of young teenage girls. Those in the front line of the clash between the generations tell their powerful stories.

Wales takes a stand as workers, women, Welsh nationalists, gays and ethnic minorities stand up for their rights and make huge leaps forward.

The final episode of the series sees Wales enter a golden age for rugby, singing, poetry, pints and disco dancing. Wales is more assertive and confident than ever before. Being Welsh never felt so good!
