Re episode 3, notice how (apart from stating that their national instrument - the triple harp - originally came for Italy) Welsh folkies, unlike English on Episode 2 (as I said above), felt no need to say this or that tune/song is not really Welsh and they don't have passports anyway...don't you think modern English could at least be a bit more nationalistic?

Than said, I enjoyed most of it - apart from the Manic Street Preachers and their heavily Americanised look-I'm-almost-Jon-Bon-Jovi rubbish.
