Began as an announcer with Teledu Cymru/WWN in 1962. Moved to BBC Wales as a radio and television announcer in 1964 until 1982. When S4C began in 1982, Robin was appointed chief announcer. Recently retired, now occasionally freelances as an S4C announcer.
Iris Jones started her broadcasting career as a presenter on Granada TV's welsh-language programming and went on to announce at Wales West and North Television (Teledu Cymru) and moved over to TWW when that station took over WWN's broadcasting commitments in 1964. She has since appeared in many Welsh plays and television series, including the drama serial Pobol y Cwm.In-vision continuity announcer for Wales, West and North Television (Teledu Cymru) and later TWW. With a theatre grounding behind him in repertory and tours, in the mid-1960s Ivor moved into television as a TWW announcer working at the Pontcanna studios in Cardiff. His theatre background had developed a mature authoritative voice and he became a favourite with the TWW audience on both sides of the Bristol Channel. When TWW lost the ITV franchise in 1968, Ivor returned to acting, becoming a familiar face in countless television series like Softly Softly and in situation comedies playing a wide range of different characters. He was in the Leonard Rossiter comedy Moon Over Soho, in an adaptation of Sweet William by Beryl Bainbridge and memorably the lugubrious railway employee in the comedy series Oh Mr Beeching starring with Paul Shane and Su Pollard. He was a feature player in the 1984 film Another Country and in 1985 joined the National Theatre cast for the play Pravda starring Sir Anthony Hopkins. Ivor died in 1999.
