In the 1960's writer and broadcaster Gwyn Thomas made a series of programmes for TWW in which he visited different parts of Wales. In this programme, Gwyn visits Butetown in Cardiff and the area once known as Tiger Bay. Today, his unique, warm and darkly humorous observations give us a fascinating insight into what life was like for people living in the Cardiff Bay area over 40 years ago.
