For Your Viewing Pleasure – TV Programmes on Lloyd George & the National Library of Wales
We’d like to bring to your attention a programme on S4C and the S4C/Clic website that delves into the secrets of the National Library of Wales.
Our Chair, Professor Russell Deacon, writes:
Cyfrinachau’r Llyfrgell (Best Kept Secrets) is now in its second series on S4C. Presenter Dot Davies takes well-known stars on a personal and emotional journey through the corridors of the National Library of Wales – Home to our Secrets. In this series there is also a section on Lloyd George.
Four of Wales’ well known personalities – Mark Drakeford, Sian Phillips, Scott Quinnell and Caryl Lewis – feature in this new series, in which the Library itself plays a crucial role and is a firm character. The first programme featuring Mark Drakeford was broadcast on Tuesday 16 September (and will be repeated on Sunday at 10pm).There was a fair amount of Lloyd George in the programme including the connection between Mark Drakeford and Lloyd George.
It can also be watched on S4C/Clic https://www.s4c.cymru/clic/programme/910290463 and the BBC iplayerhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0khvhvr/episodes/guide
