Under the Patronage of Jom!
I was delighted to have found this on Youtube yesterday, the Channel Four program "The Dragon Has Two Tongues" which isn't on DVD. It was screened in the Eighties and involved two presenters Professor Gwyn Williams and Gwyn A. Williams, debating about Welsh History and its identity in the modern world. I remember watching it as a boy with my father. The lively and forthright debates between the two of them were really a break from conventional television programming and are in a different class than brainless rubbish churned out today on television. At the time I didn't particularly like the Marxist orientated stance of Gwyn A. Williams but today I really respect him as a man who had strong convictions about society and social change, even though I still don't agree with much of the rhetoric he used in analyzing Welsh history. However it's a great pity there doesn't seem to be many people around today with that same strength of character and spirit in a political world devoid of any form of intellectual debate.
