Time for a Welsh soap?
I only see English and Scottish soaps on the TV at the moment. It's a pity as I would quite like to see a Soap set in Cardiff or Swansea or somewhere. You know what I mean??

Even the Irish have one fair city but it is just as bad as the Scottish one river city
the acting is shocking in both

Pobol y Cwm used to be shown on BBC2 years ago I remember. Sadly it didn't last very long, think it was because people didn't like the subtitling.

I think there's too many Welsh soaps/dramas personally and I live in Wales. I wouldn't watch it. Eastenders is the only soap I'm interested in.

has anybody seen the film 'a way of life'?
anyway, its a really gritty story about teenagers who live in a town in south wales and deals with real issues such as racism, teen pregnancy etc. would be a great setting for a soap/drama imo |
