I didn’t realise they were the rights holders, but kudos to ITV for this. Plenty of wonderful Welsh culture and lore in this gentle children’s animation which I grew up on. Plus dragons. Of course.

It seeps into the minds of children and turns playgrounds into nightmares.
RIP Jocelynn Rojo Carranza
