The BBC have told me that it will be going out earlier next time, which I think will help it find a bigger audience. In any case, they clearly have faith in it, or I wouldn't be making any more.

I like comedy that comes from a dark place. There is a certain darkness, a lyrical darkness, in the Welsh character and that is very good for creating art.
