Paul Turner

Died in 2019

Paul Turner was born in December 1945 in Devon and learned Welsh while working at public television in the early eighties; an avowed supporter of the nationalist party, he was, it is said, removed from the channel for his opinions. From 1984 he made Welsh-language films, including this one, which brought him international renown, then a comedy and series. The head of the Welsh channel said he was driven by a fire for everything to do with the country and its language. He died on 1 November 2019, aged seventy-three.
