No he lives in our village but farms up towards Bala. Top bloke.
Iesu!!! Forget the Welsh Hills, it's more like Hollywood Hills, with all you celebrities living there (@GTB included). :D

Alun comes across, as being a very genuine, down to earth chap. A good actor as well.

We also have the Ffermio program with Daloni and Meinir and some bloke called Alun ;)
The 20th anniversary special edition, was on Monday night. Brought a tear to my eye, when they were recalling the tragedy of Foot and Mouth. Really made me think, where on earth did those two decades go?

I do miss the summary of market prices (beef, lamb, milk etc.) that used to be shown, at the end of each episode. It's all online, and readily available I know, but it was interesting to keep up to date, with how the other sectors were performing.

Ffermio is a programme, I suspect, a lot of our English farming friends, wish Countryfile would turn (back) into.

Probably one of the better programmes that S4C air. As a farming nation, we're very fortunate to have such programmes, in the language of heaven.

What about FF FF, (Fferm Ffactor)? I find myself watching it, but still think it is awful; that written, some neighbours were on it and it was amusing watching their 'progress'.

When you consider we have Cefn Gwlad, Ffermio, Fferm Ffactor (dire as it is) Y Sioe Fawr, and Y Ffair Aeaf (coverage from the RWAS Show & Winter Fair) and the occasional program following the smaller regional shows during the summer, we are very lucky in Wales as far as Agricultural TV coverage goes... Dai apparently swears like a blind cobbler when off camera :)

And the odd specials like Bugeiliad Olaf Ewrop last week.

I enjoyed that. Thanks for the link.

I think they missed an open goal there. Although it was OK, that programme had HUGE potential. It could easily, have been turned into a great 3-part series...for not much extra work. I would have gladly watched, a whole episode on those Romanian Sheepdogs, who protected the flock and chased those wolves(?) away.

You should see him in action, filming. He switches into character instantly, transferring into what you see on the screen, walking towards the camera [as they do] with a confident stride and a speech seemingly conjured up in the last five seconds, but probably pre-planned. No rehearsing, just GO, Bang! Its in the can!

Amazing. I would be stuttering like a virgin in a brothel, in front of the camera.
I think what I like about him most, is that there's no airs and graces with him. He looks as if he's just walked in front of the camera, from working on the farm. I respect him for not pretending to be someone he's not - usually presenting, whilst wearing a scruffy 'Cymru' hoodie and not a Barbour Tweed Jacket. Totally and utterly refreshing.

Surprised you haven't been featured on one of these programs duck... although it's possible nobody else would get a word in..
