Iaith anffodus

Comedian Jimmy Carr, born in England to Irish parents gets big laughs when he quips that the Welsh language must be the invention of a frustrated dad losing at Scrabble. Is that kind of humour about Wales and its language funny, lazy or just plain nasty? Host Andy Bell, born in Lancashire, and author Mike Parker, a native of Kidderminster, discuss this tricky topic from a unique viewpoint. Their frank conversation is framed by radio and television clips from the last half century. And for many English comedy performers and writers it seems the joke remains the same.
