HABATS/14 GAY STREET; ACT I, SCENE 1: A BASEMENT THE VILLAGE
A great memorable quote om the Ltle Bra movie on - Daffyd: Anyway, seeg as I am the only gay the village, I shouldn't thk anyone would be remotely terted. Good Teal: Oh no, lots of folk around here drop anchor poo bay. * david gay in the village *
The character is emed offensive by many (Picture: BBC)‘I remember thkg there was a greeds to Ltle Bra and we jt wanted to show off as many characters as possible so we played black, whe, straight, gay, male, female, tall, short, whatever, ’ the 45-year-old told the podst. Daffyd hails om the fictnal mg village of Llanwi Breffi, Wal, (not to be nfed wh the real life village of Llandwi Breffi, Wal) where he repeatedly and falsely claims to be the villag sole gay rint. Dpe this, Dafydd do not like to socialise wh gay people, don't tch on when people are gay or get volved homosexual activi.
Dafydd equently lik to portray himself as a victim of society, actg as if he is livg an age where gay people are not tolerated. Whenever anyone tri to teract wh him Dafydd will act as if the nocent people ma a homophobic remark about him. Although Daffyd's fay are perfectly fe and acceptg of their sons homosexualy, even they are not immune om Daffyd's lns or his biased and hypocril opns.
He was therefore taken aback when his parents not only said they weren't fsed by , but admted that they had spected he was homosexual for some time. He left the room shocked horror however, when his mother and father dited that the rt of the fay wouldn't be bothered eher, given that most (if not all of them) were gay as well. Later on, when his brother Dewi admted that he was gay as well, Daffyd, far om beg unrstandg or acceptg was shocked and disgted.
MATT LUS FENDS 'ONLY GAY THE VILLAGE' SK
Matt Lus has fend his Ltle Bra character Daffyd Thomas whose nng gag on the edy show was that he's 'the only gay the village'. * david gay in the village *
He orred Dew not to be gay and even tried to nvce him to be bisexual and when Dewi (wh the backg of Myfanwy and Pedro) refed, Daffyd rejected him. Daffyd however, claimed that whilst he would really like to do all of the thgs, he would not be able to do so, due to his homosexualy. Actg as if they lived an age when homosexuals were not tolerated, Daffyd sisted that the moment his boss/landlords found out he was gay, they would fire/evict him.
Due to his sistence upon beg the "only gay" wherever he go, Dafydd has absolutely no love life, and so far as we know, has never had any boyiends. In every sgle one of his appearanc, Dafydd Thomas will persistently claim that he is "The Only Gay the Village". This was altered to "The Only Gay on Camp" Ltle Bra USA, and "The Only Gay on the Greek island of Mykonos" Ltle Bra Abroad.
Over the urse of the seri, Thomas has meets numero gay people both and out of the village but eher don't realise or ref to accept that any of them are gay.

Every time he tri to prove his the village/mp/islands sole gay rint will backfire spectacularly leavg Dafydd furiated and embarrassed. He prepared to leave early claimg no one else would arrive, sayg a "feated tone" that he would always be the only gay the village.
After creatg a small sectn for himself, the librarian showed him that they already had a gay sectn, which was very popular. Dafydd ma sure that none of the other rints of Llanwi Breffi heard about a gay gby match between them and the rints of another village.
In one episo, Dafydd tricked a group of gay Star Trek fans to leavg the pub by pretendg that Myfanwy had orred them to leave. When Myfanwy later anised a 'Gay Night' for Dafydd the pub, gay men poured to the pub, only for Dafydd to chase them out wh a barstool shoutg "Get back, you gay bastards!
