2003

Lucy Owen explores BBC Wales’s news and entertainment archives of 2003. She takes us through the events, headlines, and memorable moments of the year from her perspective in the newsroom with archive gems including a preview of the new Welsh Archbishop’s vestments made in Abergavenny, a 90-year-old yoga enthusiast in Anglesey, and a moving Traveller’s museum in Pembrokeshire.

We celebrate the spirit of innovation with The Biz finalists, view Julien Macdonald’s collection for Givenchy, and breathe a sigh of relief as a players’ strike is averted in Welsh rugby. In entertainment, Tom Jones gets a BRIT award, Steve Balsamo performs at Proms in the Park, and Catherine Zeta Jones wins an Oscar. Welsh artists debut at the Venice Biennale, and a couple from Llanrwst become lottery millionaires. You’ve got to be in it to win it.
