-You're quite a hunk too. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |

-I'll take that as a compliment. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |

-How did Crysbas come together? | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
-Going back to a happy period -in my life... | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
-..the summer of 1976. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
-My time as a student in Bangor -Normal College had come to an end. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
-I lived in a madhouse -in the middle of Anglesey. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
-We lived a bohemian lifestyle - -people came and went all the time. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
-A group of us lived in the house. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
-We all went to the Cardigan National -Eisteddfod - a great Eisteddfod. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
-It's one of the best -eisteddfodau ever. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
-On the Thursday, there was an open -mike session in the rugby club. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
-Groups would play there -later in the evening... | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-..but anyone could perform there -in the afternoon. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
-Ithel was in that clip -playing the guitar... | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
-..along with Rhys Ifans, -Gwynfor's son... | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
-..I think Phil played the drums... | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
-..and I was the lead singer. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
-We made the lyrics up -as we went along. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
-They played blues music -and I made up the lyrics. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
-A month after the Eisteddfod... | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-..Ithel sent a postcard telling us -he wanted to form a band. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:07 | |
-The other three had been -in Mellt and Mwg Drwg. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
-Those bands had broken up. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
-He was forming a new band and -he asked me to be their lead singer. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
-The rest, as they say, is history. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
-You've also been -a television presenter. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |

-You and Cefin Roberts as two -rather interesting characters. | 0:07:53 | 0:08:00 | |
-Both of you went -to Ysgol Dyffryn Nantlle. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
-Both of us attended the same school, -and Ysgol Llanllyfni before that. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
-The cutaways of people dancing... | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
-..included shots -of my cousins dancing. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
-Almost everyone there -was related to me. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
-I'm not sure what we were trying -to achieve with that sketch. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
-The only thing that looked good -was Cefin's hair. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
-He was very proud of his hair, -combing it over all the time! | 0:08:23 | 0:08:27 | |
-We saw a clip of you acting -and presenting just then. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
-You've taken on many roles -over the years. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
-C'mon Midffild is the next clip - -it was a phenomenon in so many ways. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |
-It was such a successful series. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
-Let's see a clip of C'mon Midffild. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
-Right then. How are we going -to raise some money? | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
-Well... | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
-No stupid ideas -like a sponsored run. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
-Whose idea was a sponsored run? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
-Whose idea was a sponsored run? - -You were the first to mention it. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
-No more. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
-Only another five miles. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:08 | |
-Only? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:10 | |
-Think about Italy. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
-Look, I've run far enough today -to reach Italy. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:18 | |
-Come on, the others have finished. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
-No, not everyone. -Some of them are still behind me. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
-Well done, lad, keep going. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
-Well done, Mrs Williams. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
-I'll be with you now, Mrs Williams. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
-I'll be with you now, Mrs Williams. - -No wonder the mail's always late. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
-What made the series so popular -and so successful? | 0:09:47 | 0:09:52 | |
-Lots of things. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
-Firstly, -it was so close to real life. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
-There were teams like that -everywhere in north Wales... | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
-..and, as far as I know, -in south Wales. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
-I played for Pontrhydfendigaid -when I worked in Theatr y Werin. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:11 | |
-There were major similarities -between there and C'mon Midffild. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
-Mei also played for Bont FC -during his time in Aberystwyth. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:21 | |
-You played in the same team. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
-Yes, and certainly -after C'mon Midffild... | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
-..we were invited to places -to play as a team. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-It was a lot of fun. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
-It was nice going to work -on a Monday morning... | 0:10:32 | 0:10:37 | |
-..and going out to play football -for most of the day. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
-Sometimes, -we had to focus on filming... | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
-..but we had a lot of fun. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
-A dream life for some people. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-Local players wanted to be extras -in C'mon Midffild. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
-They wanted their team -on the programme. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
-In the very first episode -a makeshift team is put together... | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
-..because a lot of players -had gone on their holidays. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
-Mr Picton wonders -where his team will come from. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
-He finishes the meeting by saying... | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
-.."You start in the nursery school -I'll try the old people's home." | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
-We cut to the changing rooms -and a pan of all the characters. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:22 | |
-One boy who sang around the pubs -of north Wales, a bald lad... | 0:11:22 | 0:11:29 | |
-..was so disappointed -he wasn't in the next episode... | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
-..because the team -had returned from holiday. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
-He'd tell people, "I don't know -why they won't pick me. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
-"I played my heart out for them." | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
-He lived the character. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
-That's all for now. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
-In Part 2, we'll relive -a troubled time from your past... | 0:11:47 | 0:11:52 | |
-..which caused huge upheaval -in your life. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |

-Welcome back. I've been joined -by Bryn Fon tonight. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
-Bryn, we spoke about your work... | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
-..as an actor, singer -and presenter in Part 1. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
-Keeping fit has been -an important part of your life. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:34 | |
-It all started in school. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
-I've always enjoyed running. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
-A lot of long-distance runners -come from the Nantlle Vale. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:44 | |
-We're like the Kenyans. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
-I think I still hold the record -for the fastest mile in school... | 0:12:46 | 0:12:51 | |
-..but I think they changed -to metric after I left! | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
-Sshh! | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
-When I was around 16 years old... | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
-..I could run the mile in around -four minutes and 16 seconds... | 0:13:03 | 0:13:10 | |
-..not that far -from a four-minute mile. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
-I went on to run longer distances -after that. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
-As we saw with C'mon Midffild, -football was very important to me. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
-I spent hours on the football pitch. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
-Mam had to drag me away -at mealtimes. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
-Like many boys during that time... | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
-..I thought I could make a career -from playing football. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
-That was my game plan. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
-In terms of running, -I represented north Wales. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
-I remember running in Haverfordwest -against England and Scotland. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:48 | |
-We can see the Bionic Man -in action now. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
-Here you are being filmed running -during the Ser series. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
-BRYN FON ON THE ROAD | 0:13:57 | 0:13:58 | |

-As the gun was fired -and the crowd cheered... | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-..Bryn started the journey... | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
-..he'd been planning for weeks. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
-A sponsored run to raise money for -Gwynedd's partially-sighted ward... | 0:14:11 | 0:14:16 | |
-..and the deaf ward in Cefneithin. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
-Bryn is aiming to run all the way -from Caernarfon to Carmarthen... | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
-..136 miles in eight days. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |

-Nain, Jane Jones, -raised a huge family... | 0:15:15 | 0:15:20 | |
-..during a very difficult time. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |

-Dad, although an intelligent boy... | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
-..left school when he was 12 -years old and worked in the quarry. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:34 | |

-We had a huge family. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
-We were like the Mafia -in Llanllyfni. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
-No-one dared -say anything against me. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
-All my cousins -would close in on them. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
-One of your most well-known songs -is Meibion Y Fflam... | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
-..a song about Meibion Glyndwr - -you know where we're going now. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:15 | |
-In 1990, you became embroiled -in these events... | 0:16:15 | 0:16:21 | |
-..when you were arrested at home -by the police... | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
-..as we'll see in this next clip. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
-# Someone somewhere knows | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
-# Down in the town | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
-# Someone somewhere knows | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
-# Crimewatch UK | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
-# They're looking for a man -with large feet | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
-# Wearing a raincoat | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-# Stinking of petrol -with a box of matches in his hand | 0:16:54 | 0:17:00 | |
-# But no-one knows anything -in the cold light of day # | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
-The arrest of Bryn Fon, -actor and singer... | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
-..on suspicion of being -a member of Meibion Glyndwr... | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
-..shocked everyone. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:13 | |
-He was locked up for 60 hours -and was then released on bail. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
-Here is his recollection -of the events... | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-..the most turbulent -three days of his life. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
-Police had a warrant -to search the house. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
-Within an hour, -someone came to the house... | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
-..to say they'd discovered a plastic -package in a hole in the wall. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
-They showed it to me. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:35 | |
-I'd never seen the bag -or its contents. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
-What was in the plastic bag? | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
-From what I could see... | 0:17:41 | 0:17:42 | |
-..a wire - an ordinary-looking wire, -a battery and white powder. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:48 | |
-"No-one knows anything -in the cold light of day." | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
-Words that are as true today -as they were... | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
-..when Meibion Glyndwr -first hit the headlines. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
-Words that led -to the condemnation of Bryn Fon. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
-# Someone somewhere knows | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
-# Father and mother | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
-# Someone somewhere knows # | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
-How much did those words -condemn you? | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
-I suspect they strongly -condemned me. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
-There was no mention of the song -while I was in Dolgellau... | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
-..until the very end. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
-On the final afternoon, -the Friday... | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
-..they'd decided -they didn't have any evidence. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
-They didn't really know -what they were doing. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
-Elfyn Llwyd and I asked -for some time to discuss matters. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
-They came back in the afternoon -with a different approach. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:44 | |
-Did I have enemies? Who could have -done this to me? Who set me up? | 0:18:44 | 0:18:49 | |
-I didn't have an answer. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
-The afternoon rolled on slowly... | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
-..and C'mon Midffild -was on television at the time. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
-I could hear the television. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
-The bomb squad was upstairs -watching C'mon Midffild! | 0:19:02 | 0:19:07 | |
-The officer in charge came down -to see me in the cell... | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
-..and told me -the team needed a new goalie! | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
-The Chief Superintendent -told me before I left... | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
-..to be careful -what I said in public... | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
-..and how I behaved on stage... | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
-..because I could influence -an audience. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
-He suggested that I encouraged -others to do things they shouldn't. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
-It was definitely a warning... | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
-..which referred to my performances -during that time. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
-How did it affect your family? | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
-How did it affect your family? - -You can't make light of the matter. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
-It affected my mother and father -greatly. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
-My father witnessed the event -- he was there during the arrest. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:55 | |
-It affected him greatly -and certainly, my mother. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
-I don't think my mother's nerves -were ever quite the same again. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:05 | |
-You then try to look -for the positives. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
-I'm sure Sain benefited from it. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
-Sales of Sobin a'r Smaeliaid's CDs -went through the roof after that. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:22 | |
-We change the mood completely now -with another song from Sobin... | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
-..Mardi Gras Ym Mangor Ucha'. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |

-Sobin a'r Smaeliaid - -can you explain the name? | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
-We go back to family affairs again. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
-Nain's brother was Robin -but people called him Sobin. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
-He was a miserly old man. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
-He'd argue with everyone -about everything. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:18 | |
-I remember when the Celtic Film -Festival was held in Caernarfon. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:24 | |
-During the feast in the finale... | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
-..they couldn't translate -proceedings into Welsh... | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
-..so it was an all-English affair. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
-We were misled though - -there was a translation facility... | 0:22:34 | 0:22:39 | |
-..for the Breton people on my table. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
-I stood up -and objected to the fiasco... | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
-..questioning why I could listen -in Breton but not in Welsh. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:50 | |
-I walked out and it made -the following morning's news. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
-My uncle, Uncle Moi, -came up to see me soon after... | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
-..and said, -"Oh, Sobin's back once more,"... | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
-..because I'd made such a fuss. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
-The people of Nasareth, a village -nearby, are called Smaeliaid... | 0:23:04 | 0:23:09 | |
-..Smaeliaid - Ishmaelites -because of the Biblical connection. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
-Sobin a'r Smaeliaid were born. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
-Well done. -Thanks for the explanation. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
-Thanks for your company. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
-I'll be back next week -with another familiar face. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:28 | |
-Until then, goodnight. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
