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.

  • BBC Wales, Management Review, 2009/10
    WALES MANAGEMENT REVIEW 2009/10 a INTRODUCTION FROM DIRECTOR, BBC CYMRU WALES IN A YEAR WHEN DIGITAL SWITCHOVER SWEPT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THE ROLE OF WALES’ nATIONAL BROADCASTER HAS NEVER BEEN CLEARER. Some said that digital switchover would change everything. By beaming countless additional channels into every home across Wales, some warned it would accelerate the fragmentation of viewing, weakening the social and civic ties that bind us together. And yet take a look at what actually happened. In 2009/10, almost a million viewers – the highest figures for at least five years – tuned into BBC Cymru Wales programming each and every week. On top of this success, our network output continued to attract worldwide attention, including Torchwood’s stunning debut on BBC One and BBC Two’s captivating Last Chance to See. That success is of course a tribute to the skills and resilience of our talented production teams – both in-house and across the independent sector – and many of their achievements are rightly “ THIS YEAR’S SUCCESS IS A POWERFUL REMINDER OF captured in this review. OUR AUDIENCE’S DEMAND FOR HIGH QUALITY AND Our success this year is a powerful reminder that in an age of apparent digital plenty – with all its countless distractions – our audience’s demand for high quality and distinctive national programming DISTINCTIVE NATIONAL PROGRAMMING.” is as strong and robust as ever. MENNA RICHARDS, It is, needless to say, a challenge and responsibility we relish. DIRECTOR, BBC CYMRU WALES Menna Richards COVER IMAGE Director, BBC Cymru Wales Presenter Eddie Butler tells the story of a 5th or early 6th century carved sandstone, part of a trail of historical objects inspired by our History of the World project, and which can be seen at the National Museum Wales in Cardiff.

    “My” Hero or Epic Fail? Torchwood as Transnational Telefantasy Melissa Beattie1 Recibido: 2016-09-19 Aprobado por pares: 2017-02-17 Enviado a pares: 2016-09-19 Aceptado: 2017-03-23 DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Para citar este artículo / to reference this article / para citar este artigo Beattie, M. (2017). “My” hero or epic fail? Torchwood as transnational telefantasy. Palabra Clave, 20(3), 722-762. DOI: 10.5294/pacla.2017.20.3.7 Abstract Telefantasy series Torchwood (2006–2011, multiple production partners) was industrially and paratextually positioned as being Welsh, despite its frequent status as an international co-production. When, for series 4 (sub- titled Miracle Day, much as the miniseries produced as series 3 was subti- tled Children of Earth), the production (and diegesis) moved primarily to the United States as a co-production between BBC Worldwide and Amer- ican premium cable broadcaster Starz, fan response was negative from the announcement, with the series being termed Americanised in popular and academic discourse. This study, drawn from my doctoral research, which interrogates all of these assumptions via textual, industrial/contextual and audience analysis focusing upon ideological, aesthetic and interpretations of national identity representation, focuses upon the interactions between fan cultural capital and national cultural capital and how those interactions impact others of the myriad of reasons why the (re)glocalisation failed. It finds that, in part due to the competing public service and commercial ide- ologies of the BBC, Torchwood was a glocalised text from the beginning, de- spite its positioning as Welsh, which then became glocalised again in series 4.

  • T&F Inquiry Supplementary Letter 120124
    Media 37a 24 January 2012 Ken Skates AM Chairman, Task and Finish Group on the future of the media in Wales National Assembly for Wales Dear Mr Skates, When the IWA’s Media Policy Group submitted evidence to the Task and Finish Group in November 2011, we had had some difficulty in establishing precise data about the BBC’s output in the nations. We had submitted a request for information to the BBC under the Freedom of Information Act and had a response that still did not give us all the information we sought. We have now received a response to our list of supplementary questions, but even this was not able to provide a full answer. These issues have been raised with the BBC Trust in the response of the IWA’s Wales Media Policy Group to the BBC Trust consultation on its Delivering Quality First document. In that response we recommend that the BBC should take immediate steps to improve the consistency, comparability and transparency of data on output and expenditure within the nations. We believe that the Task and Finish Group and Welsh Government Ministers should press this matter with the BBC Trust. We believe the data below reinforces all the points that we made in our original evidence. In particular, we would draw your attention to . a reduction in the last five years of at least 137 hours (16.2%) in the hours made by BBC Wales for Wales in the English language . the much greater reduction in output for Wales – origination and broadcast hours - when compared with Scotland .

  • How Wales Is Understood in the UK Is a Problem – Strengthening Welsh Media Is Part of the Solution
    How Wales is understood in the UK is a problem – strengthening Welsh media is part of the solution blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/how-wales-is-understood-in-the-uk-is-a-problem/ 4/1/2017 A healthy democracy needs mechanisms that enable citizens to understand the political process and engage in the functioning of politics. But as simple as this may sound, achieving such an understanding is proving a major problem for Wales. Craig Johnson reflects on the broader problems caused by the inadequate reporting of Welsh politics UK-wide. It was recently announced that a new BBC TV channel will broadcast in Scotland from 2018. It will have a budget of £30m, roughly equivalent to that of BBC Four. Alongside that, Scotland will receive more money to make UK-wide programmes. Perhaps the most interesting development is that, included in the new channel’s scheduling is an hour-long news programme, edited and presented from Scotland. This brings with it 80 new journalist posts. Even if viewing figures on the new channel turn out to be low, it will still be a significant boost to Scotland’s journalism. This is great news for Scotland, with BBC Scotland’s Sarah Smith arguing that ‘for those who wanted a news programme reflecting the world from a Scottish perspective, produced and presented from Scotland – the BBC is now delivering what they asked for’. However, it begs the question: what about Wales? Just a day earlier, the BBC announced that an additional £8.5m would be spent in Wales on both news and entertainment English-language programming.
