Codename Corgi


Witty animation, voiced-over by Philip Madoc, featuring a battered Czech (Slavicek), once an ambassador in Prague, now living on the streets of Cardiff with his all-seeing dog Scruffy. He tells the story of his lost Cold War love, Cindy doll Bronwen, from Ponty, who worked in a gallery (she "had heart and loved art") and asked him to introduce her to some dissident artists. Smitten, he discovered too late that there was more to Bronwen than met the non-canine eye.

A comic-tragic tale of sex, spies and laverbread set in Cardiff, Prague, Moravia and Milford Haven.
