John Ogwen

One of Wales' foremost actors, John Ogwen from Sling, near Bethesda shares his memories with Heledd Cynwal.

He talks of his early ambition to be a footballer when he played for Bangor FC, his interest in boxing, and reveals why the drama Tywyll Heno is so important to him.

The programme leads us through clips of the famous Bangor v Napoli European cup clash in 1962, the opening of the Menai Suspension Bridge without tolls in 1940 and a lively gathering of locals in a Bethesda pub with the distinguished author Caradog Prichard.

John takes us on an emotional journey as he recalls the past.
