TV Flashback

Tudur Owen is on a quest for adventure as he picks through another selection of funny and fascinating clips from the past 50 years of Welsh TV, featuring everything from bucking broncos and medieval warriors to Hawaiian hula girls.

Brian Robson recounts being a teenager looking for adventure in 1960s Cardiff. He found himself travelling to Melbourne, Australia after applying for a job in the paper, but soon became homesick and isolated, without any money to return. Inspired by a removal company sign, he decided to mail himself back home in a crate. However, things went awry when he was loaded onto a plane to Los Angeles and chaos ensued upon his discovery.

Other archive clips include a coach trip to Snowdonia; broadcaster Hywel Gwynfryn's Borneo adventure to meet the three main tribes in Sarawak, and comedian and singer Max Boyce learns how to be a cowboy in the USA's Wild West.
