Just in love with Trystan Gravelle here - the completely unexpected (though I might have expected it in that I did know he was Welsh) accent here! I thought he'd sound like Henry Collins but he sounds fresh off the set of Gavin and Stacy!

I feel I’m betraying my whole family by saying this but…

…however much I try, I’ve got a mind block on how to say Iwan Rheon’s name.

And it’s a super easy Welsh name too! What’s wrong with me??

Remembering Welsh entertainer Doris Hare MBE, born March 1st, 1905.

She was born into a travelling theatrical family and made her stage debut in a speaking role aged three, then worked for decades in music hall, variety and musical theatre, and in the 1960s for the Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theatre.

During World War Two she hosted a radio programme especially for merchant mariners, Shipmates Ashore, and became 'the Sweetheart of the Merchant Navy', for which she was awarded the MBE.

She found later fame as 'Mum' in On the Buses, on television and in the cinema adaptations (1969-73), and in three 'Confessions' sex comedies, which were some of the most profitable British films of the 1970s.

Her film career spanned 60 years, from Night Mail in 1935 to her final credit, Second Best, directed by Chris Menges and starring William Hurt and Keith Allen, in 1994.

According to a tribute in the Borehamwood and Elstree Times:

"...At the grand age of 87, Doris Hare was to take to the West End stage one last time. Doris appeared at the Playhouse Theatre in the Ray Cooney farce, It Runs in the Family. The role saw her reunited opposite former Benny Hill straight man, Henry McGee..."

She passed away at Denville Hall, the residential care home for artistes, on May 30th, 2000.

“Imagine having Richard Burton’s voice in your ear while you are making love… It drowned out the troubles, the sorrows, everything just melted away… I was the happy recipient of his reputation as a man who knew how to please a woman. Being unfaithful to Richard was as impossible as not being in love with him.” - Elizabeth Taylor

I just found out my two favourite actors are from the exact same place.

Not as in same country or state or county... They are from the same TOWN!

What are the odds?
