The cast of Pobol y Cwm

Pobol y Cwm (People of the Valley) is a Welsh language television soap opera produced by the BBC since October 1974. It is the longest-running television soap opera produced by the BBC, transmitted on BBC Wales television between 1974 and 1982 and then transferred to the Welsh language television station S4C when it opened in that year. It was briefly shown in the rest of the UK in 1994 on BBC2, with English subtitles.

Five episodes are produced every week, with an omnibus edition shown on Sundays.

The show is set in the fictional village of Cwmderi, supposedly located somewhere in south west Wales roughly between Llanelli and Carmarthen, though little effort is made to ensure that all the cast speak with Carmarthenshire accents. Most of the village activity centres on the pub, the Deri Arms. Outdoor filming for the pub takes place at The Sportsman's Rest in Peterston-super-Ely.

While most of the cast are unknown to the English-speaking world, Ioan Gruffudd – who later became an international film star – played the part of Gareth Wyn Harries between 1987 and 1994. Other well-known faces who have appeared include Rachel Thomas, Huw Garmon, Gillian Elisa, Aneirin Hughes, Gwenno Saunders (of The Pipettes) and Michael Aspel. In October 2006, Imogen Thomas made a cameo appearance.

Contents

Many actors have contributed towards the series over the past thirty years, including :

Brandon Monk and Julie Hughes used to be husband and wife.

Chris has been sacked from the garage after it was found that he was supplying drugs from there.

Chris died recently after (seemingly) deliberately taking an overdose. However, Brandon and Garry have since uncovered evidence to suggest that an old rival Ronald Steadman may have murdered Chris.

Ronald Steadman was indeed guilty; and was jailed for six years for various offences though not the murder.

Denzil Rees had his prize ram stolen in July 2007.
