How very disappointing. I'd not heard that episode, and have always been well-disposed to Steel in general.
He's coming to do some kind of stand-up in Caernarfon soon, I believe, so I wonder how he will temper his routine then, given that he will be firmly in the midst of all the cottage-burners and English-haters of Wales. (I've seen non-Welsh comedians come to north Wales and perform routines that try out vaguely anti-Welsh stuff--mocking placenames and the like--because they think it's original and that we haven't heard it all before, and the response they get redefines the term "stony silence".)
