-..Gareth Wyn Jones

-enjoys coming to the fair.

0:02:370:02:40

-You're the ambassador

-of this wonderful Christmas Fair.

0:02:400:02:46

-There's a wealth of Welsh produce

-which is what we're all about.

0:02:460:02:54

-We need to sell our produce

-to the world...

0:02:540:02:58

-..and Llandudno is a fantastic place

-to do this thanks to the visitors.

0:02:580:03:02

-It's perfect time of the year

-to draw attention to Welsh produce.

0:03:020:03:06

-We all enjoy to eat at Christmas!

0:03:060:03:10

-I hate Christmas

-as I don't like to spend my money!

0:03:100:03:15

-However, I enjoy getting into

-the spirit and meeting people.

0:03:150:03:19

-Enjoy the fair and it's

-always wonderful to see you.

0:03:190:03:22

-Thank you, Elin. Cheers!

0:03:220:03:28

-After all that talk

-of Welsh food and produce...

0:03:280:03:35

-..it was time for me to sample

-one or two of the foods!

0:03:350:03:41

-I'm feeling rather full

-after all that food!

0:03:410:03:45

-However, we're all allowed to eat

-a little bit more in the winter...

0:03:450:03:50

-..and after all, it is Christmas!

0:03:510:03:54

-Today is only the first day

-of the fair here in Llandudno...

0:03:550:03:59

-..but there were plenty

-of Christmas shoppers and sellers.

0:03:590:04:03

-This morning, it was

-an early start at Blas ar Fwyd.

0:04:040:04:07

-We drove here in the dark

-and the rain was pouring down.

0:04:070:04:11

-However, the blue sky has arrived

-and there are lots of visitors here.

0:04:110:04:15

-It's our first visit to the fair and

-it promises to be a busy four days.

0:04:160:04:20

-It's great to come here to sell

-our Welsh produce from Llithfaen.

0:04:200:04:24

-I hope we'll have a great weekend.

0:04:240:04:28

-How many pigs will you be roasting,

-this weekend?

0:04:290:04:32

-If everything goes well,

-we hope to roast around six pigs.

0:04:320:04:36

-It's a great place to visit.

0:04:370:04:41

-Pupils from Ysgol Ffordd Dyffryn

-school are performing here too.

0:04:410:04:44

-So far, I've only purchased

-a pie topped with cranberries.

0:04:450:04:48

-It's a fantastic fair.

0:04:480:04:52

-Last year, it was situated

-on the other side of the town...

0:04:520:04:55

-..but this year, it's great to be

-at the centre of the town.

0:04:560:04:59

-It's possible to walk around with

-the family and see the promenade.

0:04:590:05:03

-Hector likes my microphone.

0:05:040:05:05

-Hector likes my microphone.

-

-Yes, he does.

0:05:050:05:07

-I love Christmas...

0:05:070:05:09

-..and I'm already in the festive

-spirit after attending today's fair.

0:05:090:05:15

-I've put on a stone

-after all that food...

0:05:150:05:19

-..and my pockets are empty

-after buying Rudolph.

0:05:200:05:23

-We're now ready to go home

-so Merry Christmas to you!

0:05:230:05:26

-The fair runs for four days,

-so pop over and say hello to Gareth.

0:05:270:05:37

-Gareth has tweeted us.

0:05:410:05:50

-His daughter wants a Rudolph like

-Elin's one!

0:05:500:05:53

-Roger Williams

-joins me on the sofa tonight.

0:05:530:05:56

-Welcome to Heno.

0:05:570:06:00

-Thank you.

0:06:000:06:03

-Congratulations on

-your recent BAFTA award.

0:06:040:06:13

-Galesa has been a huge

-success on S4C.

0:06:130:06:18

-Congratulations on winning a BAFTA

-for your work on Tir.

0:06:180:06:22

-It's a great honour.

0:06:220:06:26

-It's my second BAFTA.

0:06:270:06:34

-However, this one is special as it's

-such a relevant story to Wales.

0:06:340:06:44

-The new production

-is called Saturday Night Forever.

0:06:520:07:02

-Tell us more about it.

0:07:040:07:08

-It's a joint production.

0:07:090:07:14

-It's a love story about a gay man

-who ends a relationship.

0:07:140:07:20

-When Lee breaks up with a lover, he

-never wants to fall in love again.

0:07:200:07:30

-However, he falls in love again

-on a night out in Cardiff.

0:07:320:07:37

-The drama follows their story.

0:07:370:07:42

-It was written at the end

-of the 1990s.

0:07:420:07:46

-This is the third production

-of the drama.

0:07:460:07:50

-There were lots of references to

-1990s culture in the original drama.

0:07:510:07:55

-Therefore,

-I decided to renew the scrips.

0:07:560:08:00

-Therefore,

-I decided to renew the scripts.

0:08:000:08:05

-I then realised that so much more

-had changed today.

0:08:050:08:11

-We're now all on Facebook and

-Twitter.

0:08:110:08:14

-Society has changed since the 1990s.

0:08:140:08:19

-Back then, it wasn't possible for

-two men to get married.

0:08:200:08:27

-These changed had to be represented

-in the new drama.

0:08:270:08:37

-Is the title a play on words

-with Saturday Night Fever?

0:08:460:08:51

-There's a play on words with the

-title, Saturday Night Forever.

0:08:510:08:56

-It's a Pet Shop Boys song title too.

0:08:570:09:02

-Many people have confused the title

-with Saturday Night Fever.

0:09:020:09:12

-Some of our audience members were

-disappointed not to see...

0:09:150:09:20

-..a white flare suit and

-a giant glitter ball.

0:09:210:09:25

-Earlier this week, there were

-previews at Aberystwyth Arts Centre.

0:09:250:09:31

-The production visits The Curve

-in Leicester on 20 and 21 November.

0:09:310:09:37

-The play then tours Wales

-until 12 December.

0:09:370:09:41

-An iconic building in Llandysul

-is about to celebrate 40 years.

0:09:410:09:46

-We wished the local swimming pool

-a very happy 40th birthday...

0:09:460:09:51

-..in the company of those

-who couldn't live without it.

0:09:510:09:55

-Saturday is a very important day

-for the swimming pool in Llandysul.

0:09:580:10:02

-We will be celebrating 40 years.

0:10:020:10:06

-We decided in a committee meeting

-that was held a month ago...

0:10:060:10:10

-..that we should celebrate

-this milestone in Llandysul.

0:10:110:10:15

-We've dedicated Saturday to

-children's and community activities.

0:10:150:10:19

-We'd like to show the importance

-of this pool to Llandysul.

0:10:200:10:24

-It's important that the pool

-stays open in Llandysul.

0:10:240:10:27

-If we didn't have this pool,

-we would have to travel a long way.

0:10:280:10:31

-The pool is funded by the community,

-its users and its supporters.

0:10:310:10:38

-It's a constant battle.

0:10:380:10:42

-On Saturday,

-I'll be cutting my hair very short.

0:10:420:10:48

-Half the money raised

-will be donated to the pool's fund.

0:10:480:10:52

-The other half will be given to a

-charity in memory of a friend's son.

0:10:520:10:58

-As a child, my mother swam here

-and she used to work at the pool.

0:10:580:11:03

-I also enjoy swimming here.

0:11:030:11:10

-It's important

-that the pool remains open...

0:11:100:11:15

-..because if someone

-fell into the nearby river...

0:11:150:11:20

-..they wouldn't be able to swim.

0:11:200:11:24

-I learnt to swim at Llandysul

-and I've been to the county gala.

0:11:240:11:30

-Next, I'll be competing

-in the Welsh gala in Cardiff.

0:11:300:11:36

-Today, the children

-are receiving swimming lessons.

0:11:360:11:42

-In the past, we didn't have

-this opportunity.

0:11:420:11:49

-When children reach a certain age...

0:11:490:11:53

-..we can be confident

-that they are strong swimmers.

0:11:540:11:57

-It's an asset to the area

-and we couldn't live without it.

0:11:580:12:01

-The dramatist and politician,

-Saunders Lewis died 30 years ago.

0:12:060:12:12

-He spent almost the last

-30 years of his life in Penarth.

0:12:120:12:18

-Today, a plaque was unveiled there

-to honour his contribution to Wales.

0:12:180:12:25

-Saunders and Margaret

-lived in this house.

0:12:270:12:31

-He had retired from being

-the Plaid Cymru leader.

0:12:310:12:36

-This is where he wrote his most

-famous dramas like Esther and Brad.

0:12:360:12:42

-This is where he also wrote Tynged

-yr Iaith or Fate of the Language.

0:12:420:12:46

-My generation will remember

-his famous radio lecture...

0:12:470:12:53

-..that transformed Welsh politics...

0:12:530:12:57

-..and led to the formation

-of Cymdeithas yr Iaith.

0:12:570:13:01

-His message was so powerful

-and it affected lots of people.

0:13:010:13:04

-The past 50 years of Welsh history

-is indebted to his famous lecture.

0:13:050:13:09

-When we chatted,

-he would just stand and listen.

0:13:090:13:14

-All of a sudden, he would

-come out with a few witty lines.

0:13:150:13:20

-He had a good sense of humour.

0:13:200:13:24

-This Penarth home is full of history

-and deserves to be celebrated.

0:13:250:13:32

-After the break, we'll celebrate

-the launch of this LOL book.

0:13:320:13:42

-We'll also take a look at the latest

-development in Penygroes...

0:13:440:13:47

-..to buy Siop Griffiths

-for the community.

0:13:470:13:50

-Make sure you come back

-after the break to find out more.

-Welcome back.

0:14:070:14:08

-It's time to announce the winner of

-the cash pot in last week's Rhestr.

0:14:080:14:13

-Congratulations to

-Helena Davies from Colwyn Bay.

0:14:130:14:18

-Your 400 prize is on its way and

-will come in handy for Christmas.

0:14:180:14:24

-Those of a certain age will recall

-Newtown's 1965 National Eisteddfod.

0:14:240:14:30

-You may have purchased the first

-copy of LOL magazine at the event.

0:14:300:14:34

-Since then, the publication

-has poked fun at affairs in Wales.

0:14:340:14:39

-LOL celebrates its 50th birthday

-at a party in Caernarfon tonight.

0:14:390:14:43

-But it's more

-than just a party, Gerallt.

0:14:440:14:48

-Good evening, Mari.

0:14:480:14:54

-Tonight, we're launching the book

-marking 50 years of LOL.

0:14:540:15:01

-Many of the Heno viewers will be

-among the 400 buyers of LOL.

0:15:010:15:07

-The book and magazines wouldn't

-exist without two special men.

0:15:070:15:14

-Here's their story.

0:15:140:15:16

-A building in Talybont, Ceredigion

-has witnessed many changes.

0:15:160:15:21

-It was once a police station

-and magistrates' courts...

0:15:210:15:25

-..but it's now home

-to the Gwasg y Lolfa press.

0:15:250:15:28

-Some 50 years ago,

-the press owner, Robat Gruffudd...

0:15:280:15:32

-..and his friend, Penri Jones,

-the author of Jabas...

0:15:330:15:37

-..published the first edition

-of the LOL magazine.

0:15:370:15:42

-I joined them

-to reminisce about that era.

0:15:420:15:46

-Penri Jones was interesting,

-entertaining and good company.

0:15:460:15:51

-He enjoyed a few pints

-and was a Welsh nationalist.

0:15:520:15:56

-We both rebelled against politics

-and the university authorities.

0:15:560:16:01

-We also disagreed

-with our fellow students at times.

0:16:020:16:06

-I got to know Robat Gruffudd when

-I studied in Bangor in the 1960s.

0:16:070:16:14

-He studied some unexpected subjects

-- Philosophy and Psychology.

0:16:140:16:21

-To be honest, I don't think that he

-was very interested in his degree.

0:16:210:16:29

-Penri came from a more

-Welsh background, compared to me.

0:16:300:16:35

-Democracy was very important to him

-and the first edition of LOL.

0:16:350:16:41

-Between my interest in design

-and his editorial ideas...

0:16:410:16:45

-..the LOL magazine

-came into existence.

0:16:460:16:54

-During every Eisteddfod, people

-always ask if you appear in LOL.

0:16:540:16:59

-I'm glad to say that I appeared

-in two editions of the magazine.

0:17:000:17:04

-When a book revealing the

-50 year history LOL is published...

0:17:040:17:09

-..people will again ask

-if you've been included in the book!

0:17:090:17:13

-Those who've appeared in LOL will

-be interested to see the new book.

0:17:130:17:17

-For Robat and Penri,

-half the fun...

0:17:170:17:22

-..is looking back at people's

-response at the National Eisteddfod.

0:17:220:17:27

-When we published the magazine

-during the National Eisteddfod...

0:17:270:17:32

-..we watched people flicking through

-to check if they were included.

0:17:330:17:37

-If their names had been included,

-most people were rather pleased.

0:17:370:17:42

-However, some people

-weren't happy at all.

0:17:430:17:47

-Some people laughed at their

-inclusion in the magazine...

0:17:470:17:51

-..and proudly kept the page

-in their wallet!

0:17:510:17:56

-It was the third edition

-that caused the most controversy.

0:17:560:18:00

-It was published at the

-Bala Eisteddfod in 1967.

0:18:010:18:05

-We were threatened by Cynan...

0:18:050:18:09

-..as he didn't like

-the reference to him with a lady.

0:18:090:18:14

-We had to pay a 50 fine

-which was lots of money at the time.

0:18:140:18:19

-However, we made up that deficit

-by selling banned copies.

0:18:190:18:24

-Cynan wanted his photograph

-to be removed from the magazine.

0:18:240:18:28

-However, we did sell a few

-original copies for a higher price.

0:18:290:18:32

-Those who were mostly interested

-in the originals...

0:18:320:18:35

-..were D J Williams of Fishguard

-and Lewis Valentine!

0:18:360:18:39

-It's strange and incredible to think

-that 50 years have passed...

0:18:400:18:43

-..since the first edition

-of the LOL magazine.

0:18:440:18:48

-I'm joined by the editor,

-Arwel Vittle.

0:18:490:18:59

-There's more in this book than the

-previous editions.

0:19:040:19:13

-Yes, there's so much more than

-previous editions in this book.

0:19:130:19:19

-The alternative history of Wales

-were included in the editions.

0:19:190:19:27

-Whilst compiling the book,

-we wanted to put LOL into context.

0:19:270:19:33

-There was so much

-sarcasm and humour.

0:19:330:19:38

-LOL has been going for 50 years.

0:19:380:19:48

-Have you ever seen such

-a pretty cover?!

0:19:550:20:00

-I'm Felix Aubel!

0:20:000:20:06

-I'm in the book somewhere.

0:20:060:20:15

-If my lawyer gets hold of this,

-look out Robat Gruffudd.

0:20:150:20:18

-Back to you in Llanelli.

0:20:180:20:21

-Thank you, Gerallt.

0:20:210:20:24

-Happy 50th birthday to LOL

-from Heno.

0:20:250:20:27

-Penygroes is only a stone's

-throw away from Clwb Canol Dre.

0:20:280:20:31

-The community is campaigning to save

-their iconic shop, Siop Griffiths...

0:20:310:20:35

-..and transform it

-into a community centre.

0:20:360:20:40

-In September, they launched their

-plight to raise 70,000 in 70 days.

0:20:410:20:45

-Only a week and half remains

-until that period expires...

0:20:460:20:49

-..so the crew have

-one final message for us.

0:20:500:20:52

-It's an iconic shop that used

-to sell everything under the sun.

0:20:530:20:58

-The shop is at the heart

-of the community.

0:20:580:21:02

0:21:050:21:10

-We all have very fond memories

-of Siop Griffiths.

0:21:110:21:13

-If we managed to save the shop

0:21:140:21:18

-The bank has already closed

-but the shop could enliven the area.

0:21:180:21:22

-A cafe could provide somewhere

-for young people to go after school.

0:21:220:21:26

-Most importantly, the shop would

-provide jobs for young people.

0:21:260:21:31

-We've already received cheques

-to the value of 25,000.

0:21:310:21:35

-However, we're expecting

-even more in the next two weeks.

0:21:390:21:42

-We've reproduced

-an old card from 1925.

-..this is the perfect card

-with space to include a gift.

0:22:360:22:42
