Television Q&A: What was Tom Jones saying at the end of his variety show?

You have questions. I have some answers.

Q: What was the Welsh saying expressed by Tom Jones at the end of his weekly show in the 1960s? What does it mean?

A: Ah, Tom Jones. A huge star in the 1960s, he is still part of the pop culture world in his 80s, with his newest recording released in 2021. In addition, a current Toyota commercial with Joneses – Tommy Lee, Leslie and Rashida – used Tom’s “It’s Not Unusual” as its music. From 1969 to 1971 he hosted “This Is Tom Jones,” a musical variety show; a native Welshman, he ended the show by saying, “Gwyn eich byd a dymunaf i chwi lawenydd bob amser,” which one of my TV reference books translates as “May you always be well and be happy.”
