The life and passionate times of actor, film-maker and rebel Kenneth Griffith, presented by Philip Madoc.

Born in Tenby, Kenneth Griffith was a legend in his own lifetime. His comic and sinister character-acting in numerous Boulting Bros films, his stage work for Tyrone Guthrie and his acclaimed and individualistic documentaries on the Zulu and Boer Wars, on Michael Collins, Thomas Paine and Clive of India all earned him both admiration and fame.

Married three times, this self-confessed misogynist and best friend of Peter O'Toole was an engaging, subversive, charismatic and highly individual Welshman.

Philip Madoc takes us on a journey into the life, loves and passions of Kenneth Griffith.
