- **Event Description**: Join us for St David's Day to celebrate Welsh broadcasting history!About this EventFor St David’s Day, join us for an afternoon celebration of "The Dragon Has Two Tongues”, the monumental 1980s Welsh TV series that redefined how a nation viewed its own history.This year marks the 40th anniversary of the series and our event will highlight how television technology—in its role as a powerful, mass-reaching medium—was instrumental in documenting and shaping the modern Welsh consciousness.Crucially, the television series surveyed Welsh history from two presenters with conflicting views about the content. Even today, far too many television history programmes show one presenter with one view offered as 'the truth'. Hence, what was most notable about the programme was that it made audiences think about history because it presented different views. The programme has resonated with people ever since, and remains an iconic touchstone in the history of broadcasting; it also showcased new methods of presentation (including groundbreaking animation). The Welsh Parliament has itself taken unprecedented steps to make the series available for future generations to follow and enjoy.This event will commemorate the spirit of the series by hosting two different views on Welsh politics today. Delyth Jewell (current Plaid Cymru Deputy Leader) will speak for Welsh Politics from the Westminster perspective and Dylan Iorwerth (Journalist) will represent Welsh Politics in Wales. Professor David Nash (Jesus College) will introduce the importance of this iconic TV series and moderate the discussion. The talks will be preceded by a traditional Welsh tea.Join us to discover why this series remains an essential piece of Welsh cultural history and a powerful example of technology's role in societyProgramme:15.00 - Doors open and traditional Welsh tea.16.15 - Dragon Lecture with Professor David Nash, Delyth Jewell and Dylan Iorwerth.17.15 - Event ends.Speaker biographies:Delyth Jewell MS is a Member of the Senedd, representing South Wales East for Plaid Cymru.
