In the Last Chance Saloon
For the best part of the last decade, councillors and council officials on the Isle of Anglesey were at war, with political groupings constantly at each other's throats in a lengthy saga described by outside observers as a "soap opera".
Last updated: 12 July 2010
Last year ministers in Cardiff Bay moved to put an end to the mayhem across the Menai Straits by sending in a team to keep a watchful eye on the activities of the council. But halfway through the two-year recovery process, the drama continues.
The local government minister Carl Sargeant has warned those that run the island that they are drinking in the Last Chance Saloon, a threat that has left key players fearing that the authority is staring down the barrel of a gun.
In this week's Eye on Wales John Stevenson travels to Anglesey to investigate if the Welsh Assembly Government has bitten off more than it can chew by deciding to intervene in the Anglesey soap opera.
And does the possibility of the authority losing the power to run its own affairs remain in the script?
