Gwyn Thomas
A channel celebrating one of the greatest Welshmen of all time. Gwyn Thomas' wisdom and dark humour won him fans from all over the world. He became a successful writer and then a well-known broadcaster during the 1960's and 1970's. A Welshman born and bred he never ventured far from the Rhondda Valley of his birth, and his deep abiding love for Wales is evident throughout his work.
Many of the videos on this channel are very old and their quality suffers as a result. But I believe they are worth preserving and sharing as an important part of the history of Wales. After so many years it is not always possible to know who owns the copyright for these videos. It is not my intention to infringe any copyright, and I have sought to obtain permission from copyright holders wherever possible. I have not monetized these videos and have put them online simply to allow others to discover the genius of Gwyn Thomas for themselves.
