Endorsements

In the context of our ongoing campaign to get the "Angel Mountain" narrative used as the basis for a multi-part TV costume drama, we are pleased to record that we have had splendid letters of support from our local AM Paul Davies, broadcaster Roy Noble, Assembly Culture Committee chair Bethan Sayed AM, PCC Chief Executive Ian Westley, Jill Evans MEP and Sian Gwenllian AM. We are very grateful to all of them, and we hope for more endorsements from all who wish us well.......

Some extracts from the letters:

"I am very aware of the potential cultural and economic benefits of such productions being set in and made in Wales. It is also important to tell the stories of Wales and to ensure that our unique history, landscape and culture is shared positively and globally. I am therefore supportive of your efforts to secure the appropriate financial and other support so that this drama can be set and made in Wales and our rich cultural heritage can reach a larger audience."

"I'm delighted to add my voice to those who would like to see these novels converted to a TV series. I have no doubt that if the Angel Mountain Saga was converted into a television show, then it would certainly build on Wales's growing reputation and also give viewers a wider understanding of Wales's cultural and historical past."

"I have read most of the Martha Morgan novels and I believe it is a unique and fascinating story. It reflects the history, of not only one part of Pembrokeshire but of Wales itself, as well as its people. The heroine – the central character - is a powerful role model for young women in Wales, in particular. At a time of great uncertainty, a project such as this would make a major contribution to maintaining Wales's European and international profile."

"Any project that projects Wales to the world for all the right reasons is to be recommended and supported, If it is done through a strong saga, against the backdrop of a deeply embedded Celtic heritage and culture, then the applause should be resounding."

"The whole series is so well embedded in the north Pembrokeshire landscape -- it is bound to have a massive positive impact on the perception of Pembrokeshire as a visitor destination if it is screened."

"In terms of what makes good television and film, I believe personally that the Angel Mountain Saga is an enthralling one, with a huge amount of potential and the prospect of a significant audience."
