Elis James explores the history of Welsh comedy, focusing on the high points of the nation's radio, film and television output. Whilst audiences are looking forward to catching up with Nessa and Uncle Bryn for the first time in a decade with the upcoming Gavin and Stacey Christmas special, Elis also looks back to a time when millions tuned in to a wartime radio show that was a platform for countless Welsh stars. He'll discuss comedy films that defined their eras, as well as much-loved sitcoms and sketch shows with their creators and stars.
