Wales and the History of the World

St Teilo's Church was featured on the BBC's 'Wales and the History of the World' last night, and is now available to view on the iplayer. The programme will be available to watch here until the 31st of March.

Presented by rugby lej Eddie Butler, the show presents a refreshing view on what I mentioned in my last post: what makes us, 'us'. You'll see many unusual, interesting and iconic objects from your national collection on display throughout the programme.

Of course, I'm a bit biased but St Teilo's was beautifully shot, and the team was fun to work with. I only wish I'd brought a crate to stand on for my interview, as Mr Butler is a giant! You can see my grinning mug at the 9 minute mark. Hope you enjoy.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for getting back to me. As I've just told Neil over on the other blog page, I will have a look at the Touton website to see what you're about. From talking to you I can already tell that you have a lot of fun and satisfaction from your re-enactment work, and that's how it should be! Keep an eye on this blog for information on upcoming re-enactments and events, such as the Latin Mass and Anterliwt play. I hope that they'll be well attended, so that we can explore St Teilo's Church as a setting for future re-enactments. Hope you enjoyed your visit to the museum, and that you'll keep in touch.
