Does anyone remember this one off programme?

This is very much a longshot, but here goes. In about 98/99 I saw a programme, probably on BBC2, which was straplined 'A Personal View by [Name]' and featured a late middle-aged man giving some rather bizarre views, the main one I remember being banning mixed marriages within Britain, e.g. English/Welsh and so on.

For some reason I was reminded me of it the other day and I did wonder whether it was some of kind of comedy spoof, but it was very subtle if so, and there was no audience laughter or anything.

It seemed to be a one-off programme, but may have been part of a longer series with different people. I've typed a few relevant searches into BBC Genome and not come up with anything.

Was it Shadwell / Siadwell? A character in Naked Video and has his own slot. Welsh guy in glasses and an anorak?

longshot, but it might be this?

I really can't remember if he was Welsh. He was definitely British, his accent was hard to place more precisely as far as I recall.

Could it be a PP Advert by James Goldsmith ?

@bobbikato, I see your thinking and the time frame would roughly fit but I'm pretty sure it was at least 15 minutes long, probably longer.

After watching a clip of Siadwell, I'm sure it wasn't him Grin
