Aberfan

This is easily the best episode of the series. It's beautifully written and acted. The filming took my breath away. It's emotionally draining, and I'm not going to get over it any time soon. It did make me think about the Queen's delayed public response to the death of the Princess of Wales. Didn't she learn anything from Aberfan?

The Crown is a brilliant tv show nevertless. All the attention to detail is just incredible and the cast is doing a fantastic job I have never written a review in my life ever so not even sure what to say but this episode has left such a mark in me that I felt complied to create an account and review it. It's the finest television I have ever seen and I watch some good quality stuff (thanks to my husband) I have two children and I couldn't stop crying while watching this episode. All 116 children loosing their lifes in this tragedy is just unthinkable. To know it's not just a show it really happened. I felt for those parents and honestly the crown has showcased these emotions so well. No excuse for the queen for not showing up for so long at the village. No matter how much she regrets it! Best episode to an otherwise brilliant tv show anyway. Thank you for reading my review

I'm the first to admit I'm no royalist. However, the series has gripped me by the throat and won't let go. This episode so far has been the best yet. As a working class son of a former miner, the story of Aberfan has been told many, many times. The heartbreak that those proud families suffered should have been impossible to put into a tv programme. The writers of the show, absolutely nailed it. 116 children and 28 adults lost their lives thanks to greed and corporate neglect. May we never forget.

I applaud the writers and directors of the Crown. This episode clearly highlights the brilliant talent of all those involved. Olivia Coleman embodies the queen as we know her today. The delay in her presence at the site of this disaster shows the disconnect the royal family often appear to have with the emotions of the people they represent. The cast of the first 2 seasons were a tough act to follow. I, for one, did not see how a new cast including the brilliant Olivia Coleman could rise to the occasion. Three episodes in they have raised the bar even higher. Clearly from the 10 Out of 10 ratings I believe most viewers agree!

I was nine years old when this disaster happened. The age of the majority of the children that died that day. I lived about 50 miles from Aberfan but now live in Sweden. Two years ago I brought my swedish family over to Wales and we visited the graveyard. 2 grandchildren one of them the same age...9... said to me that she felt so sad after visiting there. But was able to learn about and tell about the disaster in her school. The whole school wanted to hear about it. There are many on here that were not aware of it. I suggest you read the BBC story...Aberfan the mistake that cost a village its children. Also I highly recommend you visit here if you wish to feel it for real. Read the story first though. What you see in the crown is nothing to what really happened. The story about the National coal board will anger you. God be with you little ones.
