Synopsis
"Sion A... what?" I hear you cry. Never heard of it? In fact this was the original Welsh version of the programme which later became Mr and Mrs - first on Border TV then picked up nationally.
Despite the disastrous Mr and Mrs ITV revival version in 1999, the programme continues to do well in its homeland. Hence, Sion a Sian is almost certainly the longest running show still in production. The only show that comes close to this track record is What's My Line?
Catchphrases
"Bant i'r Bocs" (To the box)
"Y'ch chi yn byw 'da'ch gilydd?" (You do live together?!)
