Saw the programe on the internet. Quite interesting . One gentleman I recognise there in his freshly pressed jeans. Not sure who the other bloke was.
The ironing board would be something that Robin or Dei Doo cleared from their house to improvise for some work in the early 1980's when they had the sawing table inside the mine.

Bellach dim ond swn y gwynt yn chwibian, lle bu gynt yr engan ar cynion yn tincian.

Mmmh
I would have much rather it was anybody other than me but never mind. I'm not a natural telly personality 😞
Due to short notice and midweek filming there was a shortage of people available and I did my best to stay in the background!
On the plus side, Mrs Roberts is very nice and a pleasure to chat too 🙂
And that Fishlock bloke was never there!!
