Do not go gentle
Presented by Donald McCormick
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
So wrote Dylan Thomas on the death of his father. And in Wales today similar feelings are being aroused over the death throes of Europe's oldest living language. 'Without a Welsh language television channel the language will die' claims Gwynfor Evans , the 67-year-old President of Plaid Cymru, the Welsh National Party. He is currently campaigning throughout Wales for such a TV service and on 6 October will start a hunger strike until death, unless the Government ceases its ' betrayal ' of an election pledge to establish a Welsh language service on the new fourth channel.
David Jessel reports on the growing unrest in Wales, symbolised by the threatened martyrdom of GWVXFOR EVANS.
