OP, why this: Telly: a welcome return of the spoken Welsh language?
Not trying to be confrontational, just interested.
I agree it's a great series.

ThePilot - it's a pleasant language to listen to but importantly it's acknowledging as well as preserving their culture and heritage.

Well, I guess I've got to agree.
I kind of don't really care but I sometimes think I should more (I'm from South Wales) and I'm glad there's people who do 🙂

Many years ago I was staying in a hotel near Bridgend and went to reception to complain that there was something wrong with the TV sound on Channel 4 😳

As a Welsh speaker I can't wait for the latest series of Y Gwyll. I heard that it was originally filmed in Welsh only, then they decided rather than make it just Welsh with subtitles - why not make a bilingual series? So they shot the whole thing in English (not sure how many episodes they'd done at this point) and edited it from there. Makes it more realistic, in my view, because of course in Wales you always get a mix of people who are more comfortable speaking Welsh and others who prefer to speak English.

Yes, now and again. He was on the radio the other day: "Politicians are the same as nappies, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason." 🙂

He's on Twitter as @TheSlay

That was great. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy the programme.

If you live in Wales then lucky you, another series starts on Wednesday.

Fingers crossed i-player will come to the rescue.

Excellent.
Was about to hunt this down as Y Gwyll was on S4C at the end of last year, so was expecting it to pop up around Easter.

Ardderchog = excellent.

Many years ago whilst marking pupil's books I commented 'Archfarchnad'. Ooops, it translates as 'supermarket'.

I used to live, work and play in the Hinterland. At times yesterday I was so entranced by the locations that I missed nuances in the plot.

Have you seen this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-37780433

Thanks for the link and do hope it won't be the last series. Do you miss the area? Guessing you took the landscape for granted and noticed in episode 1 that it was blowing a gale, again.

In the latest mag was a feature on the Wayfarer, that took me back not far off 20 years when I rode that on my own and had the Berwyns to myself! Feel lucky to have cycled in some remote parts of Wales.
