Wonderful glimpse of Welsh TV history. I worked for TWW in Pontcanna studios in 1960 when it was a like a family unit making shows like 'Land of Song', ' In the News', 'Amser Te'. I was an assistant film editor working with Dai Cutts Powell and Colin Voisey, cutting 16mm newsfilm images in black and white negative!!
Thanks for posting this wonderful footage ... Growing up during the fifties TWW was very much a way of life ... The likes of Bruce Lewis,Maureen Staffer and Guy Thomas etc were as if they were part of the family ... REST IN PEACE TWW ... we will NEVER forget you!
My second cousin John Melville Mead used to read the news around that time. Lex Mead
4:55, my dad spots the camera and ducks PDQ! :D Thanks for this!
4:41 is the desk he built.
@@marthaaldridge605 Reminds me of a prairie dog. Now you see him...
Why was he so reluctant to be filmed?
@@Zeitgeist971 he’s always been better with handling the technical stuff than being in front of the camera :) he’s my dad too
i think martin williams used to read the news in english at six p.m. followed by gwyn clue-ellen in welsh at quarter past six p.m.
dunno where they are today.
are there any pictorial histories of TELEDY CYMRY out there?
Harlech Television: well if i'm dead who's going to takeover my company
Television Wales and the West: i'm dead also
Teledu Cymru: i'll do it for you!
Is that the voice of former ITV football commentator Hugh Johns would like to know please if it is
Hugh Johns was TWW football commentator before moving to ATV London for the 1967-68 season and for ATV Midlands from 1968-69 onwards
It was a disgrace after the cost of extending those studios, taking over Teledu Cymru, and no doubt investing for colour for their franchise to be taken away. The same though could have been latterly said of ATV, Thames and TVS
This must be very rare footage.
Hugh Johns commentary
Cool
itn's news at ten came from wales the very night HTV CYNRU opened up!i . i also recall, on the former TELEDY YMRU, the welsh anthem, nicest in europe, was played in full at closedown. then when the UK anthem, god shave the queen, cme on, some welsh guy used to pull the plug half way through!! i suppose some of you think the UK anthem is an english anthem instead of a british one. Well, why not vote for home rule for wales? you're not docile, are you all? i recall martin william, gwynn looellen
