Synopsis
Nothing much to say on this except it was a bog-standard regional talent show on Sunday afternoons. 42 acts took part in the series with 6 outright winners (plus 2 of the best runners-up) competing in a live grand final (taking place about a couple of months after the heats) from the epicentre of important Welsh events that is...the Rhondda Heritage Park Hotel, near Pontypridd.
The champion of the first series was decided by a viewers' phone vote with the winner receiving a large cash prize (which somehow remained undisclosed) and a special trophy made via commission from HTV by Welsh Royal Crystal...whoever they are.
Incidentally, you may be interested to know that we never did hear from the finalists and the winner ever again. It didn't stop the old Harlech people from doing a second series, mind.
Trivia
For a daft reason that we should look into further, the grand final of the first series was shown several weeks after the last heat.
