Valleys reality show 'patronising', says Chris Bryant MP
The TV channel behind a new reality show based on the south Wales valleys has defended its portrayal of the area.
MTV's The Valleys, which launches on Tuesday, follows nine young people as they move in together in Cardiff.
Their house features rocking-horse sheep and leeks on the wallpaper, but MTV officials insist that "it's absolutely not about stereotyping".
Rhondda MP Chris Bryant tells Jamie Owen that from what he has seen so far, the show is "patronising", while former Big Brother contestant Glyn Wise says any publicity for Wales is good publicity.
