All eleven series of the mystical drama set in the wild Welsh coastal village of Glan DonWhen Gareth finds his wife Diane in bed with another man, the couple attempt to save their marriage by uprooting from London to the West Wales village where Gareth grew up, and buying the local pub. It''s a bit of a dive - the wallpaper''s peeling, there are squirrels in the saloon bar and something''s growing out of the pool table. But it''s got potential, and they''re determined to make a go of it.Soon, the locals are flocking to The Druid''s Rest - and as Diane discovers, her husband''s old friends are an eccentric bunch. There''s ex-soldier Gwyn, who carries a machine gun everywhere; garrulous waitress Megan; cook Matty, whose dishes cast a spell over everyone who eats them; and enigmatic potman (and narrator) Emlyn, who seems built into the fabric of Glan Don. And then there''s Bethan - beautiful, bewitching Bethan, Gareth''s teenage sweetheart, who may still have a hold on his heart...If the villagers are strange, Glan Don itself is even stranger. Steeped in ancient folklore, it is both eerie and enchanting. The sea is an all-pervading presence, magical and menacing in turn, home to mermaids and submerged forests. On land are haunted caves, dark woods, ruined castles, old lead mines - and legendary beings including ghosts, dragons, witches and the King under the Hill.As Gareth and Diane struggle to cope with the dual challenges of running a pub and dealing with the supernatural, will Glan Don bring them closer together - or tear them apart?Starring Elis James (Tourist Trap), Louise Ford (Chickens), Amy Hoggart (Almost Royal), Emma Sidi (W1A), Ifan Huw Dafydd (Gavin & Stacey) and Amy Ffion Edwards (Detectorists), Curious Under the Stars takes us deep into a Welsh landscape of myth, magic and mayhem.Gareth - Elis James/Sion Pritchard/Richard ElisDiane - Louise Ford/Amy Hoggart/Emma SidiEmlyn - Ifan Huw DafyddBethan - Eiry Hughes/Hannah DanielGwyn - Matthew GravelleMatty - Siw HughesMegan - Aimee-Ffion Edwards/Gwyneth KeyworthPierre - Lee MengoGwyneth/Customer - Kath WeareCharlie - Donal GalleryMagda - Wanda OpalinskaGregor - Marc DanburyGuto - John WeldonReferee/Doctor - Mike BubbinsGertrude - Joanna ScanlanFluffy - Sion PritchardHadrian - Paul RhysGeraint - John Pierce-JonesFleur - Catrin StewartThe Ghost - Owain GwynnAnwen - Juno Robinson Created by Meic PoveyWritten by Meic Povey, Annamaria Murphy and Alan HarrisDirected by James Robinson and Nigel LewisA BBC Cymru Wales ProductionMusic: Knee-Deep in the North Sea by Portico Quartet? 2021 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd © 2021 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd
