to "One Summer" by Australian singer Daryl Braithwaite Paul Abbott - writer/producer of the recent BBC mini-series 'State of Play' starring David Morrissey, listed One Summer as his favourite TV series of all time in an article in The Guardian earlier this year. Excerpt from "State
of Play" (2003) publicity release: What was that show on the TV in the pub? "Miri Mawr", ("Big Fun") was a very odd, rather sinister Welsh language children's show from the late seventies. Set in a mysterious cave and peopled with a collection of worrying freaks and frenetic glove puppets.
What does the grafitti on the wall say?
According to the 'Welsh Learners' newsgroup, the phrase 'TWLL-Y-DYN Í BÔ' is from the Welsh toast "Iechyd da i bob Cymro a twll tyn i bob Sais" which means "Good health to all Welshmen and arseholes to the English!" Other Recommendations: It seems that everytime One Summerites get together the conversation always drifts to other seminal viewing experiences. In our last chat someone suggested that I put up a list of some of the common recommendations, so here goes:
With thanks to: Spencer Leigh About the creation of this site I hope that you find the site interesting - please feel free to give me any feedback on the content and design, and please let me know if you have any information that you think could be added. Thanks to everyone who's assisted up to now. Way back in 1984 I was 14 years old, and stumbled across One Summer by accident when it was broadcast on the ABC in Sydney, Australia. What I saw left me with a lasting impression that no other TV series has had since. For years my memories of the show were based on a little audio cassette I had made of the last episode (way before my family bought a video recorder). But since I started searching for information on the series about a year ago I've managed to unearth of lot of interesting stuff. As I found there was virtually no information about the series on the net, I thought it was time to make what I had discovered available to others.
I've found doing the research into this site a fascinating process. I hope you enjoy it. Dec 2002
