Gareth Gwynn Declares Independence from Wales

PRODUCER

2x 30' for BBC Sounds / BBC Radio Wales 
​TX December 2020

 In this surreal two-part comedy documentary, writer and satirist Gareth Gwynn (Tourist Trap, The Goodies, The Now Show) sets out to see if he can persuade the town of Brecon - where he lived when he was a teenager - to declare independence. Not just from the UK - but from Wales itself. With referendum strategists, statesmen from Lithuania to Kiribati, and former First Ministers of Wales as his guides, he embarks on an odyssey to discover what really defines an independent state, and what it takes to become one.
