I was around at the time, back when the BBC were in Broadcasting House in Park Place, Cardiff; long before Llandaff was invented.

Phew, VERY long time ago, the early to mid fifties, so the old memory's a bit sketchy.

If I remember rightly, about half way down on the right hand (east) side.

It looked like an ordinary terraced house, but was probably three or four of them in truth.

You know how those houses always have the name in a half circle on the arch over the door? Everything else had "Primrose Cottage" or "Ty Newydd", but they had the pompous "Broadcasting House".

I tape it on ITV1 West because they are one episode ahead atm - and the Waverly cliffhanger was at the end of yesterdays episode on West and would have been at the end of todays on Wales - poor Waverly she always puts her foot in it

How would you know anyway - dont tell me you watch a soap you are "supposed" to hate

How sad are you watching a show you obviously hate - so what if the cliffhanger wasnt that good - they cant all be good can they - at least it was Waverly who was involved in the cliffhanger - she is a great character!

I would hate to be the awkward one, but what exactly is a "keetle"?

I can't seem to find the word in either the English or Welsh half of my dictionary!
