One Pair of Eyes: It's a Sad but Beautiful Joke

on BBC Two England

Tonight in this series of highly personal films Gwyn Thomas, humorist, author, and playwright, reflects on the changing face of Wales

"The nature of a man's life, the nature of a man's mind, depends very largely on the kind of shocks and jokes to which he is subject. In Wales an industry was dying, a massive popular religion was dying. It was these things that held my eye and drove my pen."
