episode S17.E3 october 2020Actress and screenwriter Ruth Jones returns to her Welsh seaside hometown to explore the fascinating family line of her great great great grandfather on her mother's side, a hardworking 19th century merchant ship captain from New Quay, and the highly successful and noble, yet cruelly ironic career of her grandfather on her father's side who worked as the secretary for the Medical Aid Society, a self-financed workers' healthcare organization which directly inspired the formation of the NHS only to eventually end up getting disbanded by the government as superfluous.
