In my presentation I am going to be looking at the representations of Wales and Welsh people.
I will be looking at:
• Brecon Five vodka advert.
• Welsh Pot Noodle advert.
• Rhys Ifans character Spike in Notting Hill.
• Daffyd ‘The only gay in the village’ from Little Britain.
• Elliot Bevan in Hollyoaks
I will also look at different nationalities perceptions of Wales and Welsh people.
