A TELEVISED social experiment featuring an Aberystwyth woman is drawing to a close after nearly 30 years.
As a 10-year-old Aberystwyth schoolgirl, Donna Morgan featured in a 1989 S4C series of films, Hyn o Fyd - Fy Nghymru I (This is the World – My Wales) which followed five children of the same age from different parts of Wales and various backgrounds.
These youngsters are all around 40 now, but the latest chapter of their story will be unveiled in a series of five programmes, Lle Aeth Pawb?: 1989 (Where Did Everyone Go?: 1989) this Sunday.
Donna’s parents owned an old people’s home in Aberystwyth and Donna grew up there.
In the original clips, we see her dressed up as a bridesmaid at her big sister’s wedding and hear about her adventures with the Brownies.
Did Donna get married and what memories does she have of Aberystwyth in the 1980s?
Clips from the original films will be on display and viewers will hear from the youngsters in 1989.
There will also be a chance to see some of the original programmes in full later on Sunday evenings.
As we revisit yesterday’s youngsters today, find out whether they fulfilled their dreams and hear about their hopes for their own children.
Everyone has now flown the nest. Some have stayed close to home while others have travelled the world.
The other people featured are: Robin Davies from Gwyddelwern near Corwen; Iwan Arthur from Llanuwchllyn; Luned Clement from Cardiff and Ben Evans from Pontygwaith, Rhondda.
The series will start on S4C at 8.30pm tonight, with English and Welsh subtitles available.
