S4C programmes in North Wales Welsh?

Welsh General / Questions
#1

Can someone please tell me what programmes on S4C are in North Wales Welsh? I’ve been learning for about a month now (and can even say that in Welsh!) and would like to listen to more but I don’t want to risk getting even more confused by hearing South Wales Welsh. I had the impression that most TV programmes were in that dialect.

Garddio A Mwy is great. It covers all of Wales but the main presenters are based in the North; http://www.s4c.cymru/en/factual/garddio-a-mwy/

I see that the series “Stori Pêl-droed Cymru” is being repeated at the moment - the presenter is Dewi Prysor from Ffestiniog, although some of the people he speaks to are South Walians.

Stori Pêl-droed Cymru

Series looking at the history of the game of football in Wales.

Other shows to look out for would be any cookery programmes with Chris Roberts - he’s from Caernarfon and although occasionally there are contributors from S Wales, most of his stuff is filmed in the North.

Any of the ‘Dim Byd’ programmes - they’re mostly (very colloquiallly) Northern.

Not on yet, but coming soon, there is a new comedy sit-com by the ‘Dim Byd’ team called ‘Rybish’; a series looking at archive films (not sure what title was settled on!) starting in November - a mix of S and N, but certainly 3 of the 6 programmes have a Northern base; a series with Richard Holt of Melin Llynon on Anglesey (sorry, not sure of the title).

Yes, it’s based in North Wales, and the majority of actors speak North, but there are a few roles that speak south – Barry’s wife Carys, the teacher Dylan, and “Yr Iard”-owner Carwyn and his kids Anest and Iestyn (but not his wife)

Thats interesting Hendrik, thank you. I thought I should avoid it because of the north south differences. I am easily confused! :rofl:

The series featuring archive films that I mentioned in a previous post starts tomorrow night (13th Sept, S4C 9pm) and is called “Ffilmiau Ddoe”. :slight_smile:
