AWARD-winning novelist and screenwriter Fflur Dafydd has seen her script ‘The Other Team’ co-written by Huw Davies, reach the final of Find Me Funny - an opportunity from BBC Cymru Wales to discover the next generation of comedy writers.

This will result in up to three new comedy pilots for BBC One Wales and BBC iPlayer.

Following a call out on the BBC website, the BBC shortlisted writers for Find Me Funny.

Just under 350 submissions were received, and eight scripts were chosen and are now being considered by a judging panel, with ‘The Other Team’ by Fflur, a former pupil at Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi, Llandysul, and Huw, an English teacher at Ysgol Bro Teifi, being one of them.

In ‘The Other Team’, set in Trecorryn - a fictionalised version of Newcastle Emlyn - recovering alcoholic Fiona finds love with fellow rugby widow Cerys, but they struggle to break the news to their rugby-obsessed husbands.

Fflur is the creator and writer of all 24 episodes of PARCH, the popular returning BAFTA Cymru-nominated series for S4C.

Her debut feature Y Llyfrgell/The Library Suicides, which she co-produced with multi-award winning director Euros Lyn, earned her a place on the BIFA longlist for debut screenwriter and a BAFTA Cymru nomination for best writer.

Her current project is '35 Awr' (35 Hours), an eight-part thriller which will be broadcast on S4C and the BBC iPlayer in November 2018.

As an English teacher, Huw is the author of Scrambled (Firefly Press 2016), which was shortlisted for the Heart of Hawick Children's Literature Prize 2017.

His translation into Welsh comes out in August, and his next novel Sheared will be out in 2019, set in the worlds of rock music and competitive wool cropping.
