    Intensely irritating commentator.

      Some people don't understand that their voice may not be suited for certain things. I find that this is often common in women. This lady's voice is exceptionally irritating for sure.

    I had never heard of the Aberfan disaster until I saw The Crown episode 3 in season 3 in the Netflix series. It will undoubtedly have made a big impression in the Netherlands at the time. I was ten years old in October 1966 and the disaster still makes a big impression on me after so many years.

    Why is the narrator always starting a sentence on such a high note. Awful narrating on such a terrible tragedy. So very sad, bless those children and the families now past and present.

    I had several cousins killed in the disaster and one who was saved because she was sick that day and stayed home. My Dad and uncles went down and helped with the rescue effort. So sad.

      That's so tragic. How does a family ever get over something like that. Dreadful

    the narrator is using a tone that is entirely inappropriate.

    I searched for the Aberfan tragedy after watching the Crown series. It made me absolutely sad and having children of my own , made me cry coz I cannot even imagine the horrible sadness brought upon the parents and the community at that time .....just cannot even imagine how terrible it must have been for them! God bless those souls ameen!

    I couldn't imagine narrating something like this and making it sound like the most emotionless fairytale in the world. I don't know why she tried to narrate it like a newscaster when clearly needs a lot of work on dialogue, tone and pitch. Had to mute it after a few minutes, just felt disrespectful to speak in an excited and egocentric manner about something so horrific.
