The city's booming. The skyline's dominated by a giant new stadium and the derelict docks are being reborn as Cardiff Bay. The Welsh Assembly kicks off in a welter of sexual scandal, fireworks and Shirley Bassey. Charlie Unger's dead, been lying in his flat for a week. Charlie was old Cardiff through and through. Like Dame Shirley, he was a black kid from Tiger Bay. He found fame and fortune in the fifties as a boxer, lightweight champion of the world. Charlie's funeral brought the Wurriyas back together again - five lost souls looking for a place in their city's brave new millennium.
