A nugget of Welsh gold.

Warning: Spoilers
I remember this from 1985 when it was first broadcast. It went out around 7 p.m. On Channel 4.

The two presenters, Gwyn Alf Williams and Wynford Vaughan-Thomas were both Welsh but on different sides of the divide in many respects.

Williams was the fiery Welsh Nationalist and Marxist, while Vaughan-Thomas was the sleek more conservative leaning Welshman.

I recall the pointed but (I think overall) friendly jibes that often flew between the two of them on their political interpretations of their shared history and culture.

Well worth another viewing if ever it comes along.

Channel 4 used to be such an innovative and high quality public broadcaster.
