Another episode will focus on the Aberfan disaster, which happened in a Welsh mining village in 1966.
Speaking to Radio Times, Colman revealed these were some of the hardest scenes for her to film.
She said: “I can’t hide anything. So that was the hardest thing ever, to play someone much stronger emotionally than me.
“When we filmed the scenes with the tributes and the flowers and the toys, the director would say, ‘Pretend you’re just judging a flower competition.’
“Because if I thought about what it actually was, I couldn’t cope. I can’t do repression.”
