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."

John Berger, novelist and art critic, asks if painters can say anything any more to anyone except themselves

3: Four Sunday Painters
Housewives, a retired clerk, and an ex-convict now on the Water Board, paint in their spare time. Some do it to escape from economic drudgery, others to find out more about themselves and the world around them
