1962. Sling-shots, go-karts and bazooka chewing-gum are the stuff of the lives of Defi Lewis and his best friend Doug. A blissfully innocent, Arcadian childhood in rural west Wales. That is, until they witnessed something that robbed them of their innocence, on the same day the Western world lost its innocence, with the assassination of JFK in Dallas, Texas.
Pen Talar is S4C's major autumn drama; an epic 9-part series that follows Defi and Doug from that fateful November day, over half a century, through one of the most turbulent eras of Welsh history, world history, and of course, their own lives.
Richard Harrington, Ryland Teifi and Mali Harries star in this landmark series that for some will be a tale of paradise lost, for others of a paradise regained. A powerful, ground-breaking drama that will evoke a nation's memories of old hopes and forgotten dreams.
