History Trivia / Llanargollen

* ColbertBump: Received one on March 6, 2020, when [[https://twitter.com/BovineBonita/status/1235985427531739137 a Twitter user]] discovered the show and decided to spread word about its existence. The tweet gained traction, and this led to a small fanbase (but not quite CultClassic territory), a nearly successful attempt at ensuring that [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes the episodes of this show were perserved]], and even the creation of [[WesternAnimation/{{Llanargollen}} This Very Page]] on Website/ThisVeryWiki! There are more people now aware of the show from that tweet than there would be if it didn't happen.

* NowWhichOneWasThatVoice: Both the live-action characters ''and'' the animated characters are not accredited to who voiced them. It's notably worse in the latter's case, as at least with the former you could determine who played who based on what the actor looks like. The only reason we know Siwan Bowen Davies voiced Ceri is thanks to her [[https://uk.linkedin.com/in/siwan-bowen-davies-4a07018b [=LinkedIn=] confirming so]], but for the rest of the [[TalkingAnimal talking animals]] (Ianto, [[AnimalTalk Sugar Lump]], Caradog, Cadi, and Carwyn), you're out of luck[[note]]This could still probably be determined using process of elimination, since the only two other voices in the credits are Lisa Jên Brown and Emyr Roberts (under "Additional Voices"). It should also be noted that other than them, the main credits do change depending on the episode[[/note]].

* NamesTheSame:
** Ianto is not the general support officer for [[Series/{{Torchwood}} a team of alien hunters]].
** In RealLife, there is actually [[https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/ceri-puppy-who-shot-thrown-6565320 a puppy named Ceri]] who recovered from being shot and thrown in the river, and was later re-united by the police officer of the same name who rescued her. And yes, this did happen in Wales.

** MissingEpisode: The episode "[[https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02yvz01 Sanau]]" was the only one left to be archived, but unfortunately it hadn't aired since August 2019. Its English transcript could still be viewed [[https://subsaga.com/bbc/childrens/llan-ar-goll-en/cyfres-1/sanau.html here]]. It would remain lost until a fan decided to contact [=S4C=] about this, and they [[https://mobile.twitter.com/limooosin/status/1521292192295399425 reported back]] that [[https://mobile.twitter.com/limooosin/status/1524356221234462720 the episode]] [[https://mobile.twitter.com/limooosin/status/1529048195296333825 would finally air]] on May 24, 2022.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: ''Llan-ar-goll-en'' has never had an official home media release, nor is the series in its entirety available for streaming. The most legal means one has for watching this show is living in Wales ([[NoExportForYou and only Wales]]) and watching [=S4C=] on TV, or keeping up with the show on the BBC iPlayer; the latter would be fine if the episodes weren't temporary available (lasting only 30 days per rerun) and only released as they air. Luckily nearly all episodes of the show, [[https://subsaga.com/bbc/childrens/llan-ar-goll-en/ with subtitles intact]] started to get archived since March 2020[[note]]With the exception of 15 episodes that were already ripped by [[https://www.dailymotion.com/cbbc0001-cbeebies004 a Dailymotion user]] in 2018[[/note]], thanks to a fan effort to preserve episodes as they were released on the iPlayer.

* FanNickname: You'll often see fans of the show refer to it as "Welsh ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues''", due to the [[FriendlyFandoms welcomed]] [[FollowTheLeader similarities]] between both shows.

* FandomLifeCycle: Outside of its intended demographic, the show could be considered either Stage 1, due to there being very few fans of it out there and NeedsMoreLove being amplified, or Stage 0a, since the only other place the show was distributed in was Wales. Although even among Welsh people themselves, it appears that the show doesn't have much of a "fanbase" to stand on, despite the show's steady popularity.
