Based on Iwan (Iwcs) Roberts’ first novel ‘Dal y Mellt’, ROUGH CUT is a 6-part drama series, set in contemporary Wales, which takes us on a roller-coaster journey from Cardiff to Holyhead, from London to Dublin and to the farm of Bwlch y Gloch in old Caernarfonshire.
Bad luck follows our hero Carbo like a bad penny and being apprehended by the likes of Mici Finn and Les Moore doesn’t help. Gronw, the old farmer, has asked them to find Carbo, not just because he’s an excellent mechanic, but also for his other hidden talents.
Life is about to test Carbo in ways he could never have imagined. And we follow Carbo’s trials and tribulations as he weaves his way in and out of the lives of the other characters, hell-bent on his own survival as he finds himself an unwitting part of a huge heist.
Yn seiliedig ar nofel gyntaf Iwcs bydd ‘Dal y Mellt’ - cyfres 6 pennod wedi ei lleioli yn y Gymru gyfoes- yn mynd a ni ar wib o Gaerdydd i Gaergybi, o Lundain i Ddulyn ac i Fferm Bwlch y Gloch yn yr hen Sir Gaernarfon.
Mae anlwc yn dilyn Carbo (y prif gymeriad) fel hen geiniog, a tydi cael ei ddal gan Mici Ffinn a Les Moore ddim i weld yn gwellau pethau iddo chwaith. Mae Gronw, yr hen ffermwr gogleddol, wedi gofyn iddynt ffendio Carbo iddo, am ei fod yn fecanic heb ei ail, ag yn bwysicach efallai am fod ganddo dalentau cudd eraill fydd o fantais iddynt.
Mae’r fagl wedi dechrau tynhau am Carbo ers tro, a’r gem o guddio ym mhob twll a chornel o’r brifddinas wedi dod i ben iddo. Dilynwn ei hynt a’i helynt wrth iddo blethu a gweu drwy fywydau cymeriadau eraill y gyfres, a chanfod ei hun yn ran o ladrad na welwyd ei thebyg o’r blaen.
