Whilst John Reid seems to be further widening the gulf that exists between Britain and the Middle East there are those who are seeking to reach out to the younger generation in a shared interest of Welsh sheep.
Or to be more specific the Welsh children’s TV series The Baaas, which concerns a multiracial Welsh sheep family, and which has just been bought by the TV Station Al-Jazeera. It is to be broadcast on the station’s Children’s Channel, which can be seen in countries including Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Sudan. Not to mention Iraq.
“The important thing is that the programme is about how we get on with each other and although there is some bickering in the Baaas’ household, they always work things out in the end,” said the show’s producer Nia Ceidiog when the series was announced.
A valuable lesson indeed.
