HUW Edwards has said Welsh independence is now "part of the mainstream political debate" and no longer a "joke" in a new documentary.
Speaking on his BBC show Wales: Who Do We Think We Are?, the newsreader highlighted how the number of people supporting the cause had rocketed since the Brexit vote.
While he said there was clearly no majority backing for Welsh self-determination, he did admit there was a stark difference in the number of people behind independence than when he started out in journalism.
