Barry Welsh Is Coming - The Cream

  • It's about time someone uploaded this.
    The iconic John Sparkes (Barry Welsh) is the host of this best-of, feature-length compilation episode of Barry Welsh Is Coming.
    The DVD is no longer in production, so I don't think John Sparkes would mind. Nor would Mr Kenny Twat, Mr Clinically Dead, Geraint Pillock, Detective Chief Inspector Shortarse, Mrs Hideous or even Mr Ffff.
    All rights belong to ITV Wales and/or John Sparkes. This video is not my creation.

    My Welsh (now ex) Missus used to widdle herself laughing at this when we were posted to 14 Signal Regiment between St David's and Haverfordwest, largely because it was one of the few television programmes we could get. Four years there made reality stranger than fiction, and I can now safely laugh without getting funny looks from people who have "never been to England or used a public toilet".

      @@nathanpreece Not 100%, but I seem to remember he lived in or around Reading about 20 years ago? Or was he using Reading as a base for work back then, I forget? Yes, he was born in Swansea. Little known fact - he was raised from a toddler in the 2 storey flat positioned directly over Dick Barton's chip shop (if it's still called that) at the bottom of West Cross, Swansea. I've been employed as CP Security for him in the past - my favourite client! It probably helped that I was a fan! ;-) I've still got a hand-signed original of this DVD as well, which he signed in front of me. A top man, funny guy and generous, too.

    I've seen three brilliant Welsh comics come and go on TV -- Ryan and Caryl Parry-Jones, and John Sparkes whose Barry Welsh largely spoofed Wales but the characters are universally funny with clever use of archive film.
    Barry Welsh can stand alongside other contemporary stuff, Enfield, the Fast Show etc.
    Pity it wasn't shown UK-wide.
