SOUTH RIDING HISTORY AS DRAMA Would Have To Go a Long Way To Beat This! CAN YOU DO BBC WALES IF SO WHEN? About Time You Did!


  1. Baker Boys is alright, better than nothing but really what both English and Cymraeg Speaking Wales needs is some Historical 'Period Drama'. One can have too much of the modern stuff and S4C just churns it out, critically BBC Wales not so, what have 'Hwntws' ever had in recent years; Nuts and Bolts also Belonging. Now if BBC WALES gets over the fact that it considers itself a failure in Welsh Theme Productions which it is not and ditches all this English Themed stuff they are producing. Then we might see some dramatisations of Alexander Cordell, Catherine Colliers and why not of that book Angel Mountain by Brian John:

The Angel Mountain Saga - by Brian John

The stories are set in West Wales, and a central theme is the intense relationship between the heroine and her beloved Carningli -- the Angel Mountain of ...www.angel-mountain.info/ - Cached

Or why not a series based on Lovers Graves,
the Glandenys Story in particular, interesting:

    Now get on with it BBC Wales or otherwise, if Plant Crachach
    can carry
    out direct action protests re S4C,
    I am getting bothered
    enough about BBC Wales ignoring the native English Speaking TV
    watching population of the South, North and East that I too just
    might engage myself in some campaigning Direct Action against
    you 'Llandaf Luvees'. But first, above will be a top demand on this
    newly empowered 'Bae Bradwyr Caerdydd - Senedd Free State'.
