Rownd a Rownd

Rownd a Rownd, is a television series.

Rownd a Rownd is a soap opera broadcast on the Welsh-language television channel S4C. It was the first Celtic-related language soap specifically directed at a youth audience.

It was originally based on young people who did a paper round, but has since grown to include both their daily school and family life. Phil Redmond, creator of Grange Hill, Brookside and Hollyoaks, acted as a consultant to the series on its launch in 1995, and again on its tenth anniversary.

The series is filmed in Menai Bridge, Anglesey, Wales. When it began the production company, Nant Films, converted a disused garage in Dale Street into a fake row of shops, which include a café, a hairdresser, a newsagent and a taxi firm. There is a sign outside this set informing the public that the shops are not real. School scenes are filmed in the town’s two schools, Ysgol y Borth and Ysgol David Hughes. Hospital scenes are often filmed in nearby Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor, usually in one of the staff hostels.

The series finale involved the Hardy family kicked out of their homes, Barry two-timing and leaving both girls heartbroken, and bully Arthur collapsing during an argument with Barry, possibly dying.
