Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot simultaneously in Welsh (Y Gwyll) and English, it helped spark a renaissance in Welsh-language television that hadn't been seen since the 1990s.
Richard Harrington was so committed to the role's physicality that he performed many of Mathias's running scenes despite having a legitimate fear of heights—those cliffside pursuits are genuine terror.
