    Doc Brown Actor/Comedian Ben ‘Doc Brown’ Smith originally made a name for himself as a rapper, known as much for his off-the-cuff freestyle rhymes on stage as for his self-deprecating style on record. A chance meeting with DJ/Producer Mark Ronson in 2004 struck up a relationship that led to Doc touring with Ronson’s band as their MC on a string of festival shows from 2006 – 2007.

Capturing the entertaining and the quirky, the exciting and the unusual, the poignant and the everyday, through pouring rain, howling gales and all-too-rare sunshine, the result is A Summer in Wales documentary chronicling the story of one summer. In this opening episode of the series, all eyes are on the wedding venue of Anglesey couple Gareth and Amie. Medieval St Cwyfan's Church-in-the-Sea on the tiny tidal island of Cribinau, is closed all winter but opens up for business each summer.

    ***STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 00:01hrs WEDNESDAY 18 JAN 2012*** GLASGOW CELEBRATES TEN YEARS OF LAUGHTER Glasgow International Comedy Festival Unveils Tenth Anniversary Line-Up Glasgow will celebrate the city‟s famous sense of humour once again this spring as the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, Europe‟s premier comedy event, returns for its tenth year. The city will play host to a bumper gathering of some of the world‟s most in-demand comedians when the festival rolls into town from 15 March to 1 April 2012 with nearly 100,000 tickets available for more than 300 shows across 40 venues. Funded by Glasgow City Marketing Bureau and Event Scotland, over the last decade the festival has become a city and Scottish institution. Over 600,000 tickets have been sold and more than 2,000 comedians have graced the many stages the festival provides throughout the city over the last ten years. This year boasts the best programme yet with more big name shows than ever before. The festival‟s official tenth anniversary line-up was revealed today unveiling a variety of top stand-up, sketch, music, theatre, TV and film performers from around the world. Household names like Sarah Millican, Dara O‟Briain, Rory Bremner, and Jenny Eclair are among the big acts performing at venues across the city this year. Nightly stand-up at the city‟s largest theatre, The Kings, includes stars like Stewart Lee, Ardal O‟Hanlon and Dorothy Paul. A gala charity night on 19th March brings together two of Scotland‟s biggest stars – Frankie Boyle and Greg McHugh (Gary Tank Commander) to raise funds for Palestine.
