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 and HTV then, from 1973, picked up nationally by ITV.
Despite the disastrous Julian Clary version in 1999, the programme had a good stab at a revival (HTV Wales for S4C) from 1996 to around 2003.
Catchphrases
"Bant i'r Bocs" (To the box)
