Born in a North East Pit Village in 1957, my father was a duputy. I prayed for the children of Aberfan. God Bless all miners worldwide. Well Done the Coal House families. x

clare hengoed
loved the show,i'm going to miss not watching the programe,always wanted to go back to the20's if i could...well done the cast.......

Frank from Conwy North Wales
I would go there like a flash. I truly shed tears with my memories - my Mum in her apron, hair in a bun,toasting on the stove. Dad's no work, rice with currants for dinner, chicken and rabbits in the yard, Dad's beer in a jug, sugar(on tick) in a cone, broken biscuits or crumbs penny a bag. You see I was born 1928 and lived in similar conditions in London's East End. The families behaved exactly as it was in those days and I recognise each and every one of them . BBC staff and everyone involved, I congratulate all involved in the series. Oscars all round. I would love to have all the families as my neighbours.

catherine wheeler from Blaenavon
It's a very interesting series. I live in lower glantorvaen terrace. I have been told by people the houses we live in was for all the managers and top dogs of the ironworks, but what great drama and how paople lived back in the coal days.

LAURA CAERPHILLY
WELL DONE BBC and Well DONE FAMILIES. What a great `reality `. So nice to see the families getting on. Would love to try and live that way.

Just caught the 2nd "omnibus" edition. Very well done... the best of the "reality" shows.My Grampy was in Groesfaen pit at around the same time and I still lived (mostly) like the families are but in the fifties... The range was hardly used, we had a "geyser" for hot water and a gas stove and twin tub but we still had the tin bath the mangle and the "family" feel to our lives that has now in the 21st century, at least changed. Well done BBC Wales the show ought to be on nationally.

Mich, Rhondda
What a fascinating series and what a contrast with the way we live now! No bathrooms, central heating and having to heat up the water by the fire, just like my grandmother would have done. People today don't know how fortunate they are!

Dawn Loring, Cardiff
there has been no reference to the national strike of 1926, which I am sure would have taken its toll on the families of the mining communities. my mother was born in 1919 and can remember the shortages that came with the national strike and she lived on the edges of Cardiff, with her father involved in the railway industry .............surely there must be some reference somewhere

Gwyn from Cardiff
I'm in my sixties and this programme has revived vivid memories of very similar living conditions. Life was still pretty much the same in the 40s and I'm very pleased to be reminded again of some of the things good and bad that were slipping away.Excellent programme. I hope it becomes the norm for 'reality' shows to illustrate just how much we take for granted today.

Clair Wilkins Rhondda
I live in the Rhondda Valley, formally notorious for its black coal mines and traditions. I would love to go back through the 1927 experience just to find out what my relatives when through in that time and excatly how difficult life was like then.

KEEP IT!! Wales
Reading these comments makes me so angry! Great Britain as it was then was the industrial powerhouse of the world. What resource drove the industrial revolution? Coal! Greed was privilege of the industrialists. The industrialists took advantage of the miners, not just in Wales but everywhere a mine was found. Huge amounts of wealth ripped from the earth through the blood, sweat and tears of the slaves that were the miners. What did they give back? Terraced housing, poor health, a wage fit only for the pigs. I am 31 years old. I've crossed paths with many (including elements of my family) who long for the 'good ol days'. The greatest tragedy in my opinion is that they had/have us thanking them for it! Shameful!

emily
i would miss t.v computer and my family friends

rob evans formally from blaenavon
my mother(rachel evans) maiden name(rachel daniel)was born in stack square on 25th august 1927,and from the stories she told me i can relate to the hardship that families went through rob evans

Christine Smith South Wales
I think the show is wonderful, all the families helping each other out. I am 57 years of age, and find the pace of life too fast now. I think in 1927 people were happy with their lot, but today, people have become so greedy. The show is wonderful

Emily from Bridgend
The coal house is the most amazing thing ever been on in my ten years of life. I watch each epersode over and over again and it's great because i am learning about the mines in school and is going to Rhondda down the mines, i would love to be on Coal House the best tv series ever !!!!!

Harrison Davies, Cardiff
I would miss my Nintendo Wii and my Play Station games.

Rhys Evans (14) Caerphilly
i would miss msn and bebo on my p.c and all my m8s

Darren Portman
I'd like to try this for a few weeks just to appreciate how people lived in this time.Too many people get too many handouts these days.

katie holvey from Blaenavon
i love watching coal house but i could never do it! the families who go back in time look like they are under immense pressure to put food on the table for their families. but it would be fun to have a new experience!

gill egitto abersychan
Good luck to all families taking part. I enjoyed the first programme on tv. Wonderful idea to show the youth of today what thy take for granted.Superb insight into our past. Wonderful that history is being repeated. Well done to everyone concerned with the production.

Joshua-Lee Tantrum of Newbridge
I would like to go back in time because i like the ages of 1927. I would to learn more about how the miners lived. I wish coalhouse was on every night.

Jackie M from Cwmbran
I think it will be a great experience for the families. I cant wait to watch the whole series. Today we do take things for granted, and with the health and safety regulations now [which have gone too far]. Take us all back in time for the children to be able to play outside, neighbours all friendly, and everybody having the same and not getting greedy. Good luck to all taking part.

Helz K from Cardigan
I'd hate not having chocolate and my music. I'd be so annoyed without them and I would hate not having my computer or phone so I couldn't stay in contact with my friends.

Anwen P from Ceredigion
WAYYY! Steff! See you in school when you get back. We'd miss food (chocolate) and a proper toilet.

Megan & Gwen from Cardiff
We would feel lost! Without our.... Straightners, mobiles, tv, computer, nintendo, digital camera, and friends.

Boreda from Forgeside Blaenavon
As long as the fire's blazing and there's food to cook I would be quite happy going back to 1927 and maybe my son might be a little bit more grateful for what he has at present.
