The Gold Rush

Episode 2 of 5

Comedy drama set in 1960s Wales. The Thomas brothers begin trying to convince Trefelin to back their plan for a New Town, complete with new supermarket and surgery.

Charming and bullying, the Thomas brothers set about their plans for a New Trefelin. They begin trying to convince Trefelin to back their plan for a New Town, complete with new supermarket and surgery. Whilst suave Doctor Robert renews his acquaintance with his childhood sweetheart Megan, older brother Basil soon has the village hall busy with locals eager to exchange their house deeds as deposits for homes with all mod cons in the new development.

Aled and Daf decide they need to do something big to stop Basil's development plan, but Robert surprises Prem by offering him a central role in their grand new scheme. Prem tells Owen that he cannot work in the mine anymore because of his health and, late in the day, a forlorn Megan calls at the surgery with some unexpected news.
