-Hello and welcome

-to Friday night's Heno.

-It's Friday at last.

-It's been a long week.

-I blame the weather.

-A big weekend lies ahead of us

-so relax with us for the next hour.

-We're wearing red tonight

-not because of the Six Nations...

-..but in aid of an annual campaign

-by the British Heart Foundation...

-..to help beat heart disease

-and promote a healthy lifestyle.

-Many of you in Wales have supported

-the Wear It. Beat It cause.

-Here's just a few of your snapshots

-before we show you some more later.

-Our sofa guest would've love to have

-worn a red Welsh jersey on Sunday...

-..but an injury has hindered his

-chances of playing in the squad.

-It's the Scarlets and Wales centre,

-Scott Williams.

-It must be a bitter-sweet feeling

-not to be playing this weekend.

-I'm slightly disappointed.

-I look forward

-to watching the boys in action.

-I hope they'll win for us.

-The bar of an old Clynnog Fawr hotel

-opens with a poet pulling the pints.

-Meirion MacIntyre Huws and his wife,

-Karen have reopened this hotel.

-Last night,

-I was in Bangor enjoying a feast.

-Tonight, I'm quenching my thirst

-between Caernarfon and Pwllheli.

-The place is packed to the rafters

-ready to celebrating the reopening.

-Dad's Army hits our cinemas tonight

-with Swansea's Catherine Zeta-Jones.

-She's a journalist that's

-doing a story on the Home Guard.

-She uses sexual prowess for gain.

-She seems to succeed pretty well

-with the Home Guard.

-Rhodri discovers more about the real

-Dad's Army known as the Home Guard.

-Our film pundit, Lowri Cooke also

-reviews the latest cinema releases.

-We'll discuss the film later but how

-do you score Dad's Army out of ten?

-I've give it 7 out of ten.

-The band from Anglesey, Calfari

-perform a track from their new EP.

-Welcome to Heno, boys!

-# The minutes turn into hours #

-The film adaptation of the popular

-BBC television series, Dad's Army...

-..that aired between 1968 and 1977,

-finally hits our cinemas tonight.

-Rhodri Davies reports on the real

-Dad's Army known as the Home Guard.

-Dad's Army is a comedy so the

-characters are a laughing stock!

-The same is true for the classic

-television series...

-..but the real Dad's Army stemmed

-from a very dangerous period.

-It was a time of panic

-due to the events in Western Europe.

-People never expected it to happen.

-In six weeks, Germany repeated

-their feat of World War I...

-..by conquering France.

-They cornered British forces

-on the beaches of Dunkirk.

-It was a miracle that they got

-their soldiers back to Britain.

-People thought that Germany would

-cross the sea and invade Britain.

-Churchill asked people to form

-an army in their local communities.

-These were shopkeepers and factory

-workers who couldn't go to war.

-They were in reserved occupations,

-similar to the miners...

-..but could join the Home Guard

-or Local Defence Volunteers.

-The volunteers were aged 16 to 65...

-..and over a million

-joined in the first month.

-Many had witnessed World War I

-and knew how to handle a gun.

-They guarded the airports,

-main roads and the coast.

-That summer, everyone thought Hitler

-would launch an armada from France.

-Churchill said...

-.."we'll fight them on the beaches,

-we'll fight them in the hills."

-This was the ethos behind

-the concept of the Home Guard.

-They were an important fixture

-in 1940 and 1941.

-By the end of the war and after

-D-Day, their importance dwindled.

-# Who do you think you are kidding,

-Mr Hitler? #

-People still remembered them

-soon after the war years.

-Everyone know somebody who served

-and had beaten the enemy...

-..and this explains

-the popularity of the series.

-Dad's Army started in 1968

-and ran until 1977.

-There was over 80 episodes

-in the nine series...

-..written by Jimmy Perry

-and David Croft.

-The strength of the original

-comes from the cast and characters.

-These were men who were either old

-or injured so they couldn't fight.

-It's still popular

-because the comedy is timeless.

-There was a real comedy between

-Arthur Lowe and John Le Mesurier.

-There was Welsh actors

-in the cast too.

-Talfryn Thomas started as a reporter

-who visited Walmington-on-Sea.

-As the series progressed,

-he got a part in the platoon.

-He referred to the captain

-as Captain Main-Waring.

-The best part in the series starred

-Philip Madoc from Merthyr Tydfil.

-He played the leader

-of a German platoon...

-..who were captured by the

-Dad's Army soldiers in a shed.

-Captain Mainwaring is leading them.

-Philip Madoc asks

-"what is your name?"

-Mainwaring says,

-"don't tell him, Pyke!"

-There's a prominent Welsh link

-in the new film too.

-They made a role for the Mumbles

-sexpot, Catherine Zeta-Jones!

-You just slipped her a sausage.

-She's like a sexy wardrobe.

-How does the new Dad's Army

-compare to the original?

-Some things are meant to be sacred.

-Some things should never be touched

-and Dad's Army is one of them.

-I saw the trailer and film and knew

-they shouldn't have bothered!

-Who do you think you're kidding?

-Not me!

-I look forward to see the film.

-Catherine Zeta-Jones

-chats to Alun Williams...

-..on Sam Ar Y Sgrin at 8.25pm but

-we've got a sneak preview for you.

-Will you be visiting us soon?

-Swansea's on the way.

-That's about the ninth invitation.

-Really? I live in Cardiff

-so if you need the toilet...

-A toilet-stop on the way down?

-That would be handy!

-Catherine Zeta-Jones is such a star!

-She's a lovely woman.

-I enjoyed seeing her in Dad's Army.

-It's a shame that there

-isn't any more roles for her.

-She's very old-school.

-Scott Williams joins us on the sofa.

-Are you a fan of Dad's Army

-or Catherine Zeta-Jones?

-I liked Zorro!

-I enjoyed that film.

-She looked good in that.

-Wales take on Ireland on Sunday in

-their first Six Nations challenge.

-You won't be part of

-the Six Nations this year.

-How do you feel about it?

-It's very difficult

-not to be playing.

-I should be in Ireland now.

-It'll be odd to not be

-with the other lads.

-How will the boys be feeling

-tonight?

-The lads will be relaxing

-this afternoon.

-They will have flown out today.

-There's going to be a team

-run tomorrow...

-..ahead of Sunday's game.

-What's the feeling like

-among the players?

-I think the team

-is full of confidence.

-Wales is the favourite

-after the World Cup.

-I think England has to prove

-a point...

-..after the World Cup.

-What's so special about

-the Six Nations?

-The Six Nations

-is an important event.

-A lot of people

-who don't follow rugby...

-A lot of people

-who don't follow rugby...

-..tend to follow the Six Nations.

-Do the players always

-look forward to the Six Nations?

-There's a lot of events

-that the players enjoy.

-I think we all enjoy

-the Six Nations.

-It's a shame I can't be with them.

-I hope the can do well

-in the first game.

-What about playing in Dublin?

-Everyone enjoys going to Ireland.

-It's a good day out!

-The stadium is brilliant too.

-What interests do you have

-outside the rugby world?

-I enjoyed the Wales Rally GB

-before Christmas.

-You also enjoy driving trucks.

-I like cars and trucks.

-I drove a racing truck

-in Pembrey last year.

-It was a lot of fun.

-I didn't have any lessons

-beforehand.

-That's like Elin's driving!

-I think I'm safer in a lorry than

-on the rugby field!

-The match takes place on Sunday.

-Does it affect how the team plays?

-The Sunday games do affect the team.

-I don't like the games on a Sunday.

-It means that you watch

-the other players on a Saturday.

-It shortens your week before

-the next game.

-After the break...

-..Lowri Cooke shares her views

-on the latest cinema releases.

-I'm at the reopening of

-the Bryneisteddfod Hotel.

-Meirion MacIntyre Huws

-and his wife are at the helm.

-Join me to hear more about it

-after the break.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-In an age when pubs are closing it's

-great to hear of ones that reopen.

-This is what's happened at the

-Bryneisteddfod Hotel, Clynnog Fawr.

-The bar has opened

-and everyone is looking forward...

-..because there hasn't been a pub

-in the vicinity for four years!

-The place aptly has

-an Eisteddfod Chair, Daf.

-Good evening to you both.

-It gets pride of place

-in the main room.

-Meirion MacIntyre Huws and his wife,

-Karen have reopened this hotel.

-I was here earlier to hear more

-about the history of this place.

-A few years ago,

-Mei and Karen MacIntyre Huws...

-..started a new experimental venture

-of offering glamping.

-It was very successful

-but the couple has now diversified.

-They are the new owners of

-the Bryneisteddfod Country House.

-Thank you for asking me to your home

-which is your new venture.

-Yes, and this will be a restaurant

-and a pub that's open at weekends.

-We plan to offer accommodation

-from Easter and host local events.

-It's an important building

-in the area.

-It was built by Hywel Tudur

-from Llangernyw.

-He moved to the area as it was home

-to his hero, Eben Fardd.

-Hywel Tudur was a poet, an inventor,

-an engineer and a minster.

-The locals tease me

-because I dabble in poetry...

-..I've also got

-a degree in engineering...

-..and speak my mind

-but am not a minister just yet!

-It's a series of coincidences and

-fate has brought us to this point.

-The house is called Bryneisteddfod

-and Mei has an Eisteddfod Chair.

-He's also an officer for Eisteddfods

-in Wales.

-People think I chose the name

-to coincide with my work.

-Karen and Nanw take me upstairs

-to show me the work that's needed.

-There's ten bedrooms but we'll only

-use six rooms for the hotel.

-It's a massive project.

-We got the house in time

-as the roof needs some work...

-..and have to decorate it

-to our taste.

-A poet, cartoonist, inventor and now

-a landlord - a role Mei relishes.

-What are you hiding here?

-It's the heart of the pub,

-namely the beer cellar.

-I think it's the smallest

-beer cellar in Wales!

-You've had to take on the role

-of landlord for this venture.

-It makes a change for me to be

-on the other side of the bar!

-I've got a lot to learn but I like

-that and am getting there slowly.

-You're just starting out but what

-are your hopes for this new venture?

-We accept that there are a lot of

-local hotels and bed and breakfasts.

-Everyone offers something special

-but we want to add to that list.

-Good luck with the venture.

-This is a community venture.

-You've made it on to

-the front of the local rag!

-I can't believe we're on the front

-page of the local newspaper!

-I'm so happy that the local people

-are supporting us.

-This site is very important

-to the community.

-You also want to hold

-special evenings.

-We want to host local events too.

-We plan to host an Eisteddfod

-at Bryneisteddfod.

-I'm sure it will be very memorable.

-What have you got here tonight?

-Tonight,

-there's a local ladies' choir.

-They are performing tonight.

-We have members of Lleisiau Mignedd.

-This place is wonderful.

-It's great to have somewhere

-to sing and socialize.

-We're great to support them.

-We're going to be singing

-an array of songs tonight.

-# The stars are waking for us

-# In my heart

-# I gave a lot

-# It fills my heart

-# It could be for everyone

-# I am led back to you #

-Good luck to them at Bryneisteddfod.

-Lowri Cooke

-has joined us in the studio.

-You've been visiting

-the various cafes in Wales.

-Yes, it's for a new book.

-I've got to release it shortly.

-Would you like to visit

-all the pubs next?

-I'd love to have that commission!

-Lowri is here to review

-the latest cinema releases.

-We start with Dad's Army.

-You're not taking this seriously,

-are you, Walker?

-How do you know it was me?

-No, thank you, Pike.

-Oh.

-Ah, you've put some

-thought into this, Jones.

-Thank you, Captain.

-Mrs Fox lent it to me from last

-year's production of Robin Hood.

-I'm a tiny bit of Sherwood Forest.

-The film has attracted

-a lot of attention.

-Over three million people

-still watch the series...

-..when it airs on BBC2.

-It's got the cream of the crop

-for British actors.

-It stars Toby Jones.

-He's a great actor.

-You can see elements

-of Arthur Lowe...

-..in his performance.

-I'm sure he felt under pressure.

-There was a film in 1971.

-The television stars

-were not film stars!

-I wasn't a fan

-of the original series.

-I think the film is a success.

-There's Toby Jones

-and Sir Michael Gambon.

-There's also ladies in the film.

-A lot of them are very glamorous...

-..including Catherine Zeta-Jones.

-She plays Rose Winters.

-She's a reporter.

-I suspect she has something

-to do with a German spy.

-Are you fan of Dad's Army, Scott?

-I think the series

-was before my time!

-I reminds me of Taid!

-Point Break is another film

-to hit the cinemas.

-Point Break is a remake of a film

-of the same title from 1991.

-The original starred Patrick Swayze

-and Keanu Reeves.

-It was a really trashy film.

-Hollywood has decided

-to do a remake.

-This is not a good remake.

-The 1991 film was very exciting.

-There's some new actors.

-It isn't about a bank robbery.

-These are eco-warriors.

-They give money to people in Mexico.

-How many out of ten?

-I'd only give it five out of ten.

-Earlier, we mentioned that we were

-wearing red in aid of heart disease.

-But it's also National Nutella Day.

-I love eating Nutella!

-I try to be healthy.

-I have yoghurt

-and put some Nutella in it.

-I eat the whole pot!

-Here's Gabs with his personalized

-jar of Nutella he had at Christmas.

-Many of our colleagues in Tinopolis

-are fans of the chocolate spread.

-I do enjoy it.

-Today is also earmarked

-as Work Naked Day!

-You've got a photograph.

-Thank heavens

-nobody came to our studios naked!

-After the break, we pay a visit

-to the St Fagans History Museum.

-The band, Calfari from Anglesey

-also join us to chat and perform.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's an exciting time for

-St Fagans National History Museum.

-Years of construction

-and redevelopment are underway...

-..around the site

-and at main building.

-They've invested 25 million.

-Yesterday, they celebrated the roof

-being placed on the main building.

-This work is part of a wider project

-to redevelop the St Fagans site.

-We received funding from

-the Heritage Lottery...

-..and the government

-to redevelop St Fagans.

-But it was important for us to keep

-the museum open during this work...

-..so communities could be

-part of this redevelopment.

-We've completed the Bryn Eryr

-Iron Age farmstead from Anglesey.

-It's the only building

-we've got here from the island.

-Another Anglesey building

-is also under construction.

-The Mother of Wales wants to

-make her presence felt here!

-We're also building Llys Rhosyr

-which was one of Llywelyn's courts.

-Llywelyn the Great and Llywelyn,

-our Last Leader would occupy it.

-There's a twist as we'll transform

-it into overnight accommodation.

-We're at Llys Rhosyr.

-The visitors can watch carpenters

-and stonemasons busy at work here.

-There's a 16th century building

-that's ready...

-..and now we can see a building

-that once stood in 13th century.

-It's been quite a task

-during the rough, wet weather.

-There are eleven different roofs and

-the old and new are fitted together.

-It hasn't been easy

-and it's a daily challenge.

-We've got images of what they look

-like and we hope to replicate them.

-It's been a six-year project

-working alongside designers.

-It's a milestone for us today

-to stand inside this building.

-I've discovered that I don't

-understand plans and designs.

-What I've seen on paper doesn't look

-at all like what we have seen today.

-You walk in and you're amazed.

-This building allows us to present

-St Fagans in a different light.

-Viewers will be able to enjoy

-the newly-erected building in 2018.

-They're able to look on our website

-for a chance to visit our open days.

-They can wear a hard-hat

-and walk behind the scenes.

-We've turned the museum inside out..

-..and given people an insight into

-our daily tasks which you never see.

-This building provides a massive

-opportunity for us as a museum.

-The popular band from Anglesey.

-Calfari have joined us tonight.

-This is Bryn and Sion.

-You've come all the way

-from Anglesey.

-The journey was alright.

-It's great to have you here.

-How did you form?

-I was in a band with the bassist.

-I wanted to try and crack

-the Welsh music scene.

-I found Sion and the other members.

-There's singing in the blood

-with you, Bryn.

-I don't know if singing

-is in my blood.

-My sister won Can i Gymru last year.

-Why did you want to join

-the Welsh music scene?

-We've been playing music

-for many years.

-You've got an Ep out

-at the end of the month.

-There's a new Ep

-at the end of the month.

-There's four new songs on the EP.

-It's more influenced by rock music.

-Buy it and you can hear it for

-yourself.

-You have only been going for a year

-and this is your second EP.

-Are you looking forward

-to Y Selar Awards?

-Yes, we've been invited

-to perform at the awards.

-We've been nominated

-for a few awards too.

-You have also been

-performing in Cornwall.

-We went to Cornwall and shared

-the stage with Jools Holland.

-We made some great friends

-at the Pan Celtic Festival.

-What are you singing for us later?

-Tonight's song is called Tan.

-Sion, Tomos and I composed the song.

-It's about our memories

-and moving to the future.

-What's your dream as a band?

-We want to perform

-at the Millennium Stadium!

-That would be great.

-After the break, we visit

-a new exhibition in Swansea...

-..that explores the mesmerising link

-between light and glass.

-Calfari will also return

-to perform a song for us.

-First, let's take a look at your

-weekend events in our Calendar.

-This weekend, the garden at Plas yn

-Rhiw is open to show our snowdrops.

-On Sunday, all proceeds

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-A new exhibition has opened

-in a Swansea gallery...

-..that examines

-the effects of light on glass.

-It's the work of the glass artist,

-Rhian Haf...

-..the winner of the gold medal

-at last year's National Eisteddfod.

-The exhibition called Captured

-Moments has had rave reviews.

-We sent our cameras

-to view the exhibition.

-The exhibition, Captured Moments

-has reached Swansea.

-It's a touring exhibition

-by the Ruthin Craft Centre.

-It's a series of light and shadows

-using glass and LED lighting.

-I spent time in Venice

-during the Biennale...

-..overseeing the Welsh in Venice,

-which gave me time to do research...

-..and take inspiration from

-the light in the narrow streets.

-I took a lot of photographs

-and did some sketches...

-..and used them as my starting point

-when I got home.

-Glass is a great medium

-because of its properties.

-It's transparent, clear,

-attracts and reflects light...

-..and casts shadows too.

-That's why I'm attracted

-to this medium.

-I went to a factory in St Asaph

-that produces optical glass.

-I used their machinery

-as I work in a specialist field.

-The work is very detailed so it's

-important to be able to perfect it.

-A short film was produced

-to coincide with the exhibition.

-It was made by Eilir Pierce

-and can be viewed on Vimeo.

-It explains my work

-and artistic practices.

-The exhibition

-opened in Ruthin in November...

-..and is at the Mission Gallery

-in Swansea until 13 March...

-..and it moves to the Welsh School

-of Architecture in Cardiff.

-The exhibition is at the Mission

-Gallery in Swansea until 13 March.

-It's certainly worth a visit.

-Today, the Farmers' Union of Wales

-was encouraging us to wear red...

-..which is what Rhodri and I

-are doing today...

-..to raise awareness of the work

-of the British Heart Foundation.

-Our viewers

-have been wearing red too...

-..and thanks to everyone

-who sent us their photographs.

-We love seeing your photographs...

-..and you're more than welcome

-to send us your photographs...

-..when you're celebrating

-the rugby victory over the weekend.

-Scott Williams and Lowri Cooke

-have been our studio guests tonight.

-You are injured, Scott.

-That's why you're not

-playing on Sunday.

-How is your knee?

-It's getting better.

-I did some running

-earlier this week.

-I hope it's going to get better.

-Will you fly over to Dublin

-to watch the match?

-I'll be catching a private jet

-to Ireland!

-No, I'll be watching it at home.

-Do you like the Six Nations, Lowri?

-I love the Six Nations.

-I'll be watching Wales beating

-the Irish on Sunday.

-Many people are confident

-about this year's tournament.

-If Wales wins on Sunday,

-they can go all the way.

-The first game is always

-the toughest one.

-Lowri is also looking forward

-to the Oscars.

-The Oscars are at

-the end of the month.

-I think Leonardo DiCaprio

-will do well.

-On Monday's Heno,

-we celebrate the Chinese New Year.

-It's the year of the monkey.

-We also chat to Rachel Stevens

-and Gwaith Cartref's Gareth Jewell.

-We wish Sian Thomas and Don all the

-best on their wedding day tomorrow.

-You'll see the photos on Monday!

-We leave you with Calfari

-performing the song, Tan.

-Goodnight.
