... a question of history
The fifth of six films in which Dai Smith presents a fresh analysis of the Welsh.
The Crowd at the Ballgame
Spectator sport is a phenomenon of the last 100 years yet super-powers and tiny countries display their nationhood more nakedly on the terraces than anywhere else.
Sport is, so far, a little-used key to the historian's study of modern societies but, without its aid, the Welsh might be even more misunderstood than they are!

A series of 13 programmes which tell the story of the theatre.
Written and presented by Ronald Harwood
9:A World Turned Upside-Down.
The spirit of revolution and romanticism which swept through Europe into the 19th century - these two forces were indeed to turn the world upside-down.
Sturm und Drang, literally 'Storm and Stress', and Schiller's overpowering play The Robbers, begin this story of the Romantic movement in the theatre which produced melodrama, barn-storming actors and the actor-manager. But a dramatic time-bomb was ticking away - startlingly modern, Buchner's Woyzeck was not performed for 80 years. It was the birth of realism and the modern anti-hero.
Those taking part include: Barry Foster , Christopher Timothy , Marion Bailey and the Deutsches Nationaltheater, Weimar
