Carys Hedd - Researcher

'This is the second year running that Mike has snatched me away from my tailoring studio on a voyage of discovery to all corners of the land, uncovering the strange, the interesting and the unusual. It has been a wonderful experience working on the series, a chance to learn so much about Wales.'

Ioan AD Thomas - Sound Engineer

'I had a brilliant time working on Great Welsh Roads. After university I was determined to travel around Wales. Having lived here all my life I knew there was loads yet to discover! I've made a mental note of all the scenic locations we travelled through and hope to revisit them, maybe even use them as backdrops for films.'

Richard Longstaff - Cameraman

'Having worked for the BBC in Cardiff, I relocated to North Wales a few years ago. I now live in Denbigh with my family. Working on Great Welsh Roads was great fun. Highlights included early morning sequences with a grumpy Mr Parker and Bethan Gwanas' raunchy tales of witches in a Dolgellau wood!'

Steve Frost - Editor

Steve has worked on all four series of Great Welsh Roads. As long as he's fed on cream cakes he's a happy bunny! Steve chooses many of the soundtracks for the programmes; blame him if you don't like the score!

Emyr Jenkins - Camera Director (Great Welsh Roads series 1-3)

Due to diary clashes, Emyr managed only a day's filming with us this year, but what a day! A wonderful sequence where Joseph Murphy of the Cardiff Army Preparation Collage goes wild swimming with Mike Parker in the river Usk. Visit Emyr's website, www.emyrjenkins.com
