English prejudice, alive and well in this strap (accessed 04/04/2025, 08:30) from YouGov, placing the emphasis on the 20% opposed to "the use of" Welsh, rather than the 66% who want to see more Welsh used.
There's nothing like language to make an Englisher shake in their boots.
Good drama; enjoyed, solid 8/10
But I'm puzzled.
You could just do "a production in Welsh."
Or you could portray a Welsh speaking community in the drama, complete with code switching when appropriate.
But this is definitely set in Newport, not a Welsh speaking city. Plus there seems less use of English than would be realistic.
So is something being conveyed by that choice that I'm missing?

Towns lovelier than ours,
And fairer hills and loftier far,

Het weekend luiden we in met een borrelplank! Dit keer heeft Hugo zich laten inspireren door de Welsh keuken. Voor deze borrelplank moet je wel een kleine hobbykok zijn. Het is een ingewikkelde, maar veelzijdige plank, met drie gerechten: van zoet tot hartig. Allereerst maken we Welsh rarebit, een tosti uit Wales. Vervolgens...
