New series on BBC1 Wales tonight - 9.00pm.

The first episode is concentrating on prehistoric stuff including the opper mine at the Great Orme and a visit to a Hillfort.

Presented by Huw Edwards (the news reader)

Should be good!

Bah! We have Paxo instead in Engerland (which might also be interesting, but waay out of TMA territory).

Hopefully the Welsh one is available to watch somewhere though. Not sure why Huw Edwards has been chosen to present, is he the BBC's token Welsh person? Could be worse though, it could be Alex Jones.

Huw has a genuine interest in history / prehistory. He has been featured several times in the CADW magazine.

Good thing.... judging from personal experience there is quite a need for it.
