The poet Dylan Thomas is famous the world over. But often it's for tales of his tempestuous life rather than for what he wrote. Now Welsh poet Owen Sheers gets back to what started all the fuss: the words on the page. Homing in on Thomas' major poems, Sheers leads viewers through the story of what inspired them, how they were written, and what exactly they mean. He visits the places where they were forged: from suburban Swansea to war-torn London, from the rural splendour of west Wales to the heady whirl of New York City. With a poet's ear for language, he analyses worksheets, unpacks lines and asks just how good these poems really are. Fellow poets Paul Muldoon, Andrew Motion, Simon Armitage and Clare Pollard share their insights and enthusiasm. A century on from Thomas's birth, poems like 'Fern Hill' and 'Do not go gentle into that good night' remain among the most popular in the language. Here, Owen Sheers makes the case for Dylan Thomas being one of the major poets of the 20th Century: a visionary and a craftsman.

Dylan Thomas is perceived as one of the greatest poets working in the English language in the 20th century. He lived in London, and spent time in America, but chose his home in West Wales, in the village of Laugharne. This video trails all his most regular haunts, including his aunt's farm Fern Hill, and the village of Laugharne.

A drama documentary of the life and death of the poet Dylan Thomas, who died in New York 25 years ago at age 39. Alcohol and a doctor's injection of morphine were the immediate causes. Ever since his childhood in Wales his life was a spectacular attempt - comic at times, serious below the surface, tragic at the finish - to survive on his own bizarre terms as the poet to end all poets. By the 1950s, that first postwar decade of uneasiness and change, Dylan Thomas was a legend to his admirers but a burnt-out case to himself. As he tours America to read poetry to rapt audiences, his past crowds in on him, the fractured memories of a man at the end of his tether.

A loosely structured comedy allowing for a series of vignettes based around an ancient coaching inn. The story was adapted from the 1929 novel by Scottish writer Erik Linklater.
