This is my saturday post
The world is so bloody small nowadaysThis is a brief video of the Welsh police tv series " Hinterland " ( y Gwyll)
The production values equal anything I have seen in the UK and its strange that the actors have to produce two versions ...one entirely spoken in Welsh and another shot in English!
This obviously is the welsh version.....one sold to many countries in Scandinavia
How versatile are the actors eh?
There is no sound on mine, so I will have to take your word for it.
ReplyDeleteWhatever

ReplyDeleteI am going to watch it ! I will pick up good swear words and toss them around here in Florida, truly confusing the inhabitants.
I was shocked to understand it all perfectly. English subtitles are a wonder!
ReplyDeleteI just started watching this show on Netflix!! I kept thinking that the lead looked so familiar, and finally it hit me that I had seen his face on your page! The scenery is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have watched Hinterland here in Canada waiting for the next season.
ReplyDeleteI have watch this show and freeze along with them. Beautiful countryside, outstanding.
ReplyDeleteAnd it does look like you.
cheers, parsnip
I think the version you showed was 'for the deaf'.
ReplyDeleteThere sorted enjoy the language
ReplyDeleteWe first watched this show when it began and I think some nordic types must have watched it too...we were soon swamped with lots of very similar stuff from scandinavia..really good stuff and reminded me how beautiful the countryside is.x
ReplyDeleteI love Hinterland - the stories are excellent and the scenery is just stunning. Personally, I'd be quite happy for the BBC to show the all Welsh language version (with subtitles) instead of the part English / part Welsh they have shown in the past. It is lovely to listen to the lilting Welsh language. Can you speak Welsh, John?
ReplyDeleteWell John, you know how I feel about this.
ReplyDeleteDiolch
Hinterland is one of my favourite words. It speaks of deep and hidden secrets and core realities.
ReplyDeleteI love Hinterland and watch the mixed language version. It no longer seems strange when the characters switch from Welsh to English. I watch all the Scandinavian serials and they switch between Swedish, Danish, English, and French so often that I don't always notice. Great stories though!
ReplyDeleteI have been watching it streaming on Netflix and wondered how authentic it is. I did see that all the credits are in both English and Welsh. I agree the scenery is beautiful and a really good series.
ReplyDeleteOn a totally different note, Zayn was asking me what was my favorite show on Netflix? Without a doubt; it's Doc Martin. I throughly enjoy international films. It's always interesting to look through a different lense.
ReplyDeleteIs there a relationship between the Welsh language and Scandinavian languages?
ReplyDeleteI have seen every show of Doc Martin thanks to a couple of Free TV websites online as well as on television. I was so sad to see it end.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like something I would enjoy watching.
ReplyDeleteThe only link I can see is that I don't understand any of them. Mind you, I'm building up an impressive vocabulary of swear words in all of them, which is an interesting psychological phenomenon. I can curse in so many languages now that I should be a shoo-in for the next MEP elections.
ReplyDeleteLOL Lesley !!
DeleteI have a daughter in law who is a teacher in southern Ireland, she needs to speak Gaelic to be able to teach.
ReplyDeleteCan you speak Welsh John? When we lived on Anglesey I went to night school to learn Welsh ... so hard!! I din't understand a word of that video.
ReplyDeleteI learned welsh at school until the age of 14. I understand bits now
