S4C and BBC Cymru Wales announce new drama Tree on a Hill

The dark comedy has been written and created by Ed Thomas, and the six-part series has begun filming on location in Ystradgynlais on the River Tawe, where Ed Thomas grew up.

Gwenllian Gravelle, S4C’s Head of Scripted:

“Pren ar y Bryn/Tree on a Hill will bring an abundance of mischief and dark humour to our screens. We are delighted to be in partnership once again with Fiction Factory, BBC Cymru Wales and Creative Wales for this ground-breaking commission.”

Laced with humour and a touch of the absurd, Margaret and Clive Lewis are at the heart of it all. Set in a bypassed town at the edge of a valley, this is a story about crumbling values, resilience and transgression being the key to liberation.

With a stellar Welsh cast, the series stars Rhodri Meilir as Clive Lewis and Nia Roberts as Margaret.

They will be joined by Richard Harrington, Hannah Daniel, Richard Lynch, Suzanne Packer, William Thomas, Rhodri Evan, Steffan Cennydd, and Jacob Ifan.
