The One show talks to Michael Sheen about Richard Burton and Port Talbot. This was screened while BBC Wales were showing the torch relay and I just happened to turn over to BBC West.

Richard Burton is an absolute legend

After all these years, after so many great new actors - we still look to Richard Burton for inspiration. A magnificent old bugger. He's only gone in body, not in spirit. Or spirits.

Welsh wizard Richard Burton was a stupendous actor and very successful on the stage and in movies.Burton was first and the others followed.

Michael Sheen, humble and amazing person. Prime example of stardom not going to his head, a lot could learn a lesson from this man..

I swear there's something in the water of Wales. The acting prowess of its daughters and sons is profound. Michael Sheen is brilliant but Matthew Rhys has the physical resemblance and the most amazing take on Burton's voice I've ever heard.

I've been to Old Trafford watching Manchester United play. It was so exciting. Richard Burton was brilliant and so ruggedly handsome.

Sheen is great, i saw him in Fantabulosa! A great tribute to Kenneth Williams. But God, please, let him do Burton!

Yes! Michael Sheen and Anthony Hopkins are the only guys who can ever do a really great, heartfelt bio-pic about actor Richard Burton - not just his relationship with Liz Taylor but his entire LIFE, his career, his demons; and it has to start with his childhood in Wales. Recent Burton-related films have been very very disappointing. Stop just talking about it Michael, get it done!

Pontrhydyfen is almost as unpronouncable as Ynysybwl to those not fortunate enough to be born in Wales.

moggs strange how the English can pronounce names correctly anywhere in the world but Wales. Newsreaders can pronounce correctly the most obscure village in Afghanistan but give them Pontypridd or Tonypandy and they are screwed. It betrays a patronising attitude. Because, after all, who cares? It’s only Wales, after all. Can’t they just do their bluddy homework and find out the correct way to pronounce these names? Not too hard. Maybe they would get the message if we Welsh started mispronouncing English names. Loondon , anyone? Or maybe Eecster? Or Brystol?

@@petrovonoccymro346 I agree, a little effort to achieve correct pronounciation wouldn't go amiss, but I do have a little sympathy when it comes to some of our place names. All those consonants masquerading as vowels. I've had a few humourous encounters down the years. I was brought up in Morriston, and one day a large lorry pulled up alongside me as I was walking along. " Excuse me buddy, can you tell me how to get Whystranglass '. He sounded American. " Where ", I enquired. " Whystranglass ", he repeated. I looked at him nonplussed, and he handed me a sheet of paper. "Oh,you mean Ystradgynlais ". " Yeah, that 's the place, you got it, Whystranglass ". I told him where to go, and we both laughed. The Americans were heavily involved at Waunarlwydd, and to a man referred to it as Oneeyelid.
