Shameful
Must say I agree with the "bingedrinking..." user name comment. This was an awful film, totally racist and insulting to Wales and the Welsh people. It made the Welsh out to be a bunch of bumbling village idiots from the get go, akin to that "The League of Gentleman" show on the BBC. The horrible comment right at the beginning of the film about the Welsh tourist board laughing when the secretary called up to ask for a 3 star hotel was disgraceful. It was essentially saying "a 3 star in Wales, you must be joking!". The producer also gave the school teacher a deliberate overbite and large gap right in her front teeth, how cruel and crude. Most of the children were also given large gaps in their front teeth also. It was shameful. It was also set in North Wales, yet no one, and just to be clear, NO ONE, had a North Welsh accent, they were ALL from South Wales. Was the producer and researchers who made this film being deliberately derogatory to Wales or were they just ignorant and absolutely thick? I watched this joke of a film for a short time before switching it off in disgust. I was abroad in the US and was hoping to see something of North Wales in all it's true glory and absolute splendor. North Wales is absolutely stunning, the people extremely friendly and highly educated. Wales also outperformed the rest of the UK in terms of exports last year (http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-26465497). Yet this horrendous film would just try to belittle Wales and the Welsh. I will be writing to the producer of this film for an explanation.
