6:41Now Playing"The chip is the chip. It is life itself!" - Gwyn Thomas
Alan Whicker visits the South of Wales, where a culinary crisis of epic proportions has shaken society to its very core - fish and chip shops are running out of chips. Esteemed playwright and author Gwyn Thomas is on hand to wax lyrical about the importance of the chip to the collective Welsh psyche, and why Wales without chips is as unthinkable as Italy without pasta, China without rice, or France without wine.
This clip is from Tonight, originally broadcast 9th April, 1962.
