A Welsh-language [[Soap Opera|opera sebon]] produced and broadcast by [[The BBC]], ''Pobol y Cwm'' ("People of the Valley") takes place in the fictional village of Cwmderi, in southwest Wales.
 
Most episodes center on the small businesses and houses surrounding the village pub, Y Deri, and local farm Penrhewl. In addition to the native characters, the show also features incomers from across Wales, with various accents and abilities in Welsh, and even the occasional ''sais'' wandering in from England and looking around in terror.
 
''Pobol y Cwm'' began broadcasting in October 1974, making it the [[Long Runners|longest-running]] [[Soap Opera]] produced by [[The BBC]]. It is also broadcast to British armed forces members serving overseas through [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Forces_Broadcasting_Service:British Forces Broadcasting Service|BFBS TV]].
 
You can watch it with subtitles through [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/search?q=Pobol<!-- 20y20Cwm%20y%20Cwm BBC iPlayer]] -->
