Alex Ferguson
I'm playing catch-up following the launch of Lights! Camera! ACTION! and the local event in Neath Port Talbot plus today's event in Bridgend. Best bet I think is to point you straight to the Facebook page where it's all happening.
Excellent support from the new Health Minister Mark Drakeford A.M. who entered into the spirit of the occasion, grasped completely what we were set on doing, and gave the whole campaign a big endorsement plus a really encouraging send-off to the vintage microbus and mobile studio as they set off on their on-location tour of every county in Wales.
He didn't even flinch when I wondered out loud whether he would last longer than most Ministers (there have been five in ten years) or even do an Alex Ferguson and become an enduring fixture. But I'm not serious - that's not how politics work.
Anyway, we managed to cover the political territory, seeing many A.M.s from all parties including:
Lib Dem leader Kirsty Williams...
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood...
Labour's Ken Skates, Chair of the All Party Mental Health Group...
and Conservative Mark Isherwood, Shadow Minister for Communities and Housing...
Now put your feet up and watch the film version here.
