You won't be going into Rhys' cave on The Great Orme either then

I enjoyed it too Gaynor and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series and tonights episode. You wouldn't believe how cold and dam the copper mine is. It's a great tour though and on certain days they actually smelt some malachite and turn it into copper.

Hi Swansea Jack, (sounds like a pirate).

You are right. Max Vivaldi is the lead character played by Griff Rhys Jones, and Russell T. Davis of Dr Who fame wrote it with Griff.

Oh perfect. You can get it for 11 delivered free. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's hilarious. Funily enough I've just emailed one of the actresses in it about the books and to see if she would agree to a voice part in any film version of the books.

Hi Gaynor, Amazon is not the best place. Very expensive on there. Try a general search and find another site. It's 11 ($18) on the link I've posted. Can you buy off HMV in America?

Thanks Harold. Well I really hope you enjoy it. I'm sure you will, and it won't be long before you are playing dragon pebbles with her.

So. Have any of you seen Mine all Mine? here is a link ............

Yes this looks like the same one Harold.I've just taken a look at a preview on the BBC website. Interestingly it mentions the Great Orme at Llandudno and particulary the copper mine there. Both are featured in the first book of The Stories of Rhys and continue to be so throughout the books. I'm guessing too that Snowdonia will feature as well and the slate mines at Llanberis. It's almost like it'sa promo for my book series! As I've already mentioned on here the books are based on real locations and it's what holds the whole series together. That's why it took seven books to tell the entire epic stories of Rhys.

Looking forward to watching it.

Next Tuesday (2nd October) on BBC2 there is a six part series starting called The Story of Wales whichh explores the country's history. It will be available on BBC iplayer online.

The other thing I wanted to mention was a series called Mine all Mine. This was a comedy drama set in Swansea and first shown in 2004. Some of you may already know about it but if not it's available on DVD and I recommend it. A great story and very funny. It stars Griff Rhys Jones.

Can you get BBC TV in America? Can you watch BBC online via iplayer?
