"It's the first time in a generation that ´óÏó´«Ã½ Cymru Wales has tackled the story of our history - the last major series to do so was The Dragon Has Two Tongues which aired in the mid-1980s."

Ahem - 'The Dragon Has Two Tongues' was actually produced by HTV Wales.

CA Jones thanks for your comment. 'The Dragon Has Two Tongues - A History of the Welsh' was a 13-part series produced by HTV Wales and broadcast on Channel 4 in 1985.

Really looking forward to this series. I've mentioned it on my history blog

Wales History

Hi
Name is Ron and live in KIDWELLY very close to the CASTLE.
I enjoyed the first program on Monday and looking forward to the
one on Thursday,and the complete series
By the way I was born Ehglish but now WELSH by the grace of GOD

I hope Mr Edwards will bring some objectivity to the series and not use it as a vehicle for his nationalist views. My country is a very small player on the world stage and always has been. I am proud of my Welsh identity but unlike Mr Edwards, it does not blind me to the fact our influence on world history and culture as been negligable. It was laughable when he compared the society which produced the Mold Golden Cape with the glories of Ancient Egypt !

7 What is the difference with Mr Edwards pursuing as you say, in your view his 'Nationalistic' views. To you criticising it because of your obvious Socialist views.

I say that because it seems that Socialists can't accept that Wales had a legitimate History before the Industrial Revolution and they criticise it as being Nationalistic. Why?

This is a wonderful series particularly the medieval content. The music is very striking. What is it and is it available as a CD?

I saw the latter half of the series and really enjoyed it. Huw Edwards is someone I really enjoy listening to. I am also interested in the above exchange (see comments 7 & 8). I consider myself to be Pro-Welsh Language but against the dangerous devolution project. I had prepared myself (but this has nothing to do with Huw Edwards) for insinuations that we owe what is good about Wales to Plaid/Labour/Devolution etc but I found the comments about the Conservative Party's record on the Welsh Language to be fair and objective. Even with devolution, despite no opponent being interviewed, he did atleast acknowledge that turnout on devolution related matters has been low.

I have just watched the brilliant first episode of The Story of Wales, made even more compelling by Huw Edwards wonderful presentation. I was particularly amazed to learn how much more has been excavated in Caerleon, my home town. No longer where I live, sadly, but it was where I grew up and my brother and I used to take visitors around the amphitheatre etc. I have ordered the book and am looking forward to the later episdes very much indeed. Well done Huw Edwards and the production team! I wish I could talk to you!

Brilliant series - many thanks ´óÏó´«Ã½ and Huw Edwards
