Very sad news. Peter’s passing is a significant loss for the areas of Welsh history and culture - having made a huge contribution to both.

We are saddened to hear of the death of Peter Stead, modern historian, author, and editor of a number of important books on Wales in the twentieth century.

Sir Anthony Hopkins teases new film based on Dylan Thomas short story The two-time Oscar winner stars in a film based on Dylan Thomas's short story, A Visit To Grandpa's.

Very much looking forward to this. Sir Anthony Hopkins and Dylan Thomas - a great combination

I’m reading the memoir of Anthony Hopkins at the moment - another wave on the incredible flow of virtuoso actors that have come from the small town of Port Talbot.
