Drama, diaries, magical radio and lockdown music

Gary Raymond and his guests poet Clare Potter and writer and broadcaster Simon Wright cast a critical eye on what's going on in the Welsh arts scene.

Gary Raymond and his guests poet Clare Potter and writer and broadcaster Simon Wright cast a critical eye on the Welsh arts and popular culture scene.

This month the panel explore S4C drama 35 Diwrnod. The latest iteration of this murder mystery format begins with a group of friends at a wedding dress fitting and follows the 35 days up to the Big Day. But the sight of a bride lying face down in the sea in the opening credits suggests this is anything but a happy ever after tale. Also up for discussion is Radio 4's dream-like magical Welsh comedy drama Curious Under the Stars, now entering its 10th season.

Gary and his guests give their views on the second volume of diaries from one of Welsh literature's biggest names - Jan Morris. And the final item for review is Fragments, the debut solo album from Climbing Trees' frontman Matthew Frederick. The panel consider how the album from the Pontypridd singer-songwriter may be the perfect soundtrack for the long days of lockdown.
