Sali Mali returns to S4C after 20 years

Sioned Geraint, S4C’s children and learners commissioner, said “generations” of Welsh children had been influenced by Sali Mali.

“Twenty years since Pentre Bach ended, many of the children who grew up with Sali Mali are now parents themselves, and I am sure they will be delighted to see her return to S4C to entertain their children.”

Llion Iwan, S4C’s chief content officer, said few characters on the channel had been more iconic than Sali Mali.

“For many of us, Sali Mali’s return will be like catching up with an old friend.

“But for a whole generation of children, this will be the first time they discover Sali Mali, and it is incredibly exciting that someone will have the opportunity to step into this iconic role.”
