-Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Heno.

-We're happy

-to have you here with us.

-On tonight's programme, Elizabeth

-Taylor and Richard Burton...

-..were once the world's

-most famous couple.

-Tonight, we see images of the pair

-which have never been seen before.

-Where are you this evening, Llinos?

-I've come to feast at one of

-TripAdvisor's top 10 restaurants...

-..which is also part

-of Cardiff Prison.

-Keep watching to find out more.

-Elin Fflur returns to her childhood

-with two Alice in Wonderland fans.

-We'll also find out about

-its connection with North Wales.

-Only a few weeks remain before

-our Miss Wales, Emma Jenkins...

-..travels to China

-for the Miss World contest.

-Before leaving for China, she's been

-to meet Llanelli's most talented.

-My studio guests this evening are

-poet and author, Llyr Gwyn Lewis...

-..and chief executive

-of Literature Wales, Lleucu Siencyn.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-You're here to tell us more

-about certain special celebrations.

-We're celebrating the 150 years

-since the birth of W B Yeates.

-Richard Burton, James Dean,

-Montgomery Clift, Peter O'Toole...

-..Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor.

-Where would you find

-all of these people in one room?

-You'll find them all at the

-Getty Images Gallery in London.

-Rhodri Davies has been to find out

-more about the Welsh interest.

-Wherever Taylor went,

-Burton followed.

-Ninety years after his birth

-and 31 years after his death...

-..he continues to capture

-our imaginations.

-I'm sure that his one great love

-has something to do with his appeal.

-Theirs was the greatest love

-that I ever saw.

-I haven't seen

-a love like their since.

-They couldn't live together

-but couldn't live apart either.

-That was mainly due

-to their drinking...

-..and if they would've given up,

-their relationship would've worked.

-I'm certain that they would be

-back together if he'd lived.

-Their relationship was strange

-but so was their lives.

-The queen of Hollywood

-was also easy to love.

-I stayed with them and they came to

-stay with my mother in Pontrhydyfen.

-She was his only wife that

-was willing to stay in the house.

-She was very natural

-around our family.

-His other wives wanted to stay

-in five star accommodation.

-Elizabeth was willing

-to mingle with anyone.

-She was comfortable with people

-on the streets as with the Queen.

-Elizabeth was different and

-this is apparent in this collection.

-She was very beautiful.

-She attended parties

-at the Dorchester...

-..with some of the most

-beautiful people in the world.

-However, all eyes

-would be on Elizabeth.

-She was stunning.

-Her beauty extended

-to her character and her kindness.

-She battled against HIV and AIDS.

-Her friends, James Dean, Montgomery

-Clift and Rock Hudson were gay...

-..and Hudson

-even died from the disease.

-Over the years,

-she raised millions for the cause.

-A percentage from the sales

-of these images...

-..will also go towards

-Elizabeth Taylor's AIDS Foundation.

-There are some 50 images

-within this collection.

-There are some iconic photographs

-mixed with very personal images.

-A selection of these images

-have never been seen before.

-People rarely got to see

-behind the scenes.

-I have several images of them that

-were taken at my mother's house.

-They're very natural photographs

-and they aren't posing.

-Many of these images today

-are quite similar.

-They're very personal

-and wonderful to see.

-Do you get emotional when

-attending these sorts of events?

-I have mixed emotions.

-It brings back lots of good memories

-and the times we had as a family.

-We would attend grand parties and

-travel the world in private jets.

-It was incredible.

-However, I also feel sad that

-he passed away at such a young age.

-He had much more to give.

-I'm sure he'd be back with Elizabeth

-if he'd have lived.

-Incredible.

-My studio guests this evening are

-poet and author, Llyr Gwyn Lewis...

-..and chief executive of

-Literature Wales, Lleucu Siencyn.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Why are we celebrating

-W B Yeates in Wales?

-It's important that we

-recognise this important poet.

-The government asked us to arrange

-an event in celebration.

-They wanted us to forge

-a relationship with Ireland.

-There are some incredible literary

-links between Wales and Ireland.

-We've arranged a lecture

-in Merthyr to celebrate.

-You've studied the work

-of W B Yeates.

-I've studied his work.

-I compared his work

-to another from Wales.

-It's important to compare the works

-of important poets.

-I've put them into

-their historical context.

-They wrote during a great time

-of change in Wales and Ireland.

-Yates was in Ireland

-at this time of change.

-He recorded these changes.

-Today, we're asking many questions

-about the role of literature.

-Yates contributed to

-the life in Ireland.

-What will happen in Merthyr?

-We chose Merthyr as the

-location of this lecture.

-There's a theme of

-revolution in his work.

-There are a few tickets available

-for the lecture at 7.30pm.

-The website address

-has been on the screen.

-I'd like to encourage

-more people to study his work.

-He's a very varied poet

-who enjoyed a long career.

-You could enjoy

-his early romantic works.

-His later works were more political.

-You need lots of time

-to study his body of work.

-He was one of the great poets

-of his time.

-He inspired our Welsh poets

-including Saunders Lewis...

-..and Gerallt Lloyd Owen.

-Thank you.

-Last week, our very own Miss Wales,

-Emma Jenkins...

-..was invited to judge

-a special event here in Llanelli.

-Some of the town's

-most talented children...

-..got together to raise money

-for a very special charity.

-I'm judging

-the Kids Got Talent competition...

-..which raises money for the

-cancer centre at Singleton Hospital.

-We're at the Selwyn Samuel Centre to

-see the talent that's in Llanelli.

-These children

-are incredible at what they do.

-We've had singers,

-dancers and comedians.

-The children have been brilliant

-and I've thoroughly enjoyed today.

-The winner is Erin!

-APPLAUSE

-I feel so happy and it's amazing.

-I'd like to be an actress

-or be a singer with my friends.

-My family are really proud.

-Yesterday, I won another competition

-and tonight, I've won this one too!

-Congratulations to the winner, Erin

-Lewis of Ysgol Bro Dinefwr school.

-Next, we turn our attention to

-Christmas, with only 52 days to go.

-The tradition of sending

-Christmas cards dates back to 1843.

-Sir Henry Cole is responsible

-for starting the tradition in 1843.

-However, only 1,000 cards

-were created.

-Today, over 1.7 billion of cards

-are sent in the UK every year.

-With every card, you need a stamp...

-..and today, the Christmas stamps

-were launched by the Royal Mail.

-The six traditional stamps portray

-Bible stories and the Jesus' birth.

-David Holmes from London is the

-artist who designed the stamps.

-We hope that these stamps will make

-you smile this Christmas.

-After the break, Elin returns to

-the world of Alice in Wonderland...

-..which has close connections

-with North Wales.

-Llinos will be dining

-in Cardiff Prison...

-..at one of Cardiff's Top 10

-restaurants on TripAdvisor.

-See you in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Last night, the world's best ref,

-Nigel Owens was in the studio.

-Thanks to Rhianwen, Gwen and Peter

-from Stratford Upon Avon...

-..for sending this photograph

-of a Welsh dragon pumpkin to us.

-It looks great.

-Thank you for the message and we're

-glad that you enjoy watching Heno.

-At some point or another, we've all

-read about Alice in Wonderland.

-The story of the blonde girl in a

-world of magic by Lewis Carroll.

-How many of you know about its

-connection with North Wales?

-Elin has been to find out more.

-Over the past 150 years,

-the story of Alice in Wonderland...

-..has captured the imagination

-of generations of children.

-It's the story of a little girl

-falling down a rabbit hole...

-..and landing

-in a magical wonderland.

-Apparently, the story's roots

-are here in Llandudno.

-I went to learn more at the Lewis

-Bookshop at the centre of Llandudno.

-It's apparent from the abundance of

-Alice in Wonderland memorabilia...

-..that the history

-is very important to the area.

-The connection between Alice

-and Llandudno is very sketchy.

-It's claimed that Alice Liddell

-stayed at the Gogarth Abbey Hotel.

-She was friends with

-Charles Dodson or Lewis Carroll.

-They holidayed here and

-wandered the sea cliffs of Gogarth.

-As a result, Lewis Carroll wrote

-the tales of Alice in Wonderland.

-The adventures of Alice still

-capture children's imaginations.

-Trystan's children enjoy

-listening to the story being told.

-You two enjoy the story

-of Alice in Wonderland.

-What do you like about the story?

-I like it when Alice

-eats some sweets and gets bigger.

-She then gets stuck in the house

-and funny people try to get her out.

-When Alice falls down the hole,

-she arrives in a different world.

-You like one character

-in particular.

-I like the Cheshire Cat.

-Can you smile like the Cheshire Cat?

-That's exactly how he smiles!

-What do you like most

-about Alice in Wonderland?

-I like it when she falls

-down the rabbit hole.

-That's when the adventure begins.

-The rabbit!

-On that note, our adventure starts.

-The Lewis family and I

-went on a tour around Llandudno.

-We searched for locations and

-sculptures associated with Alice.

-We used a very special app

-that's been created by locals.

-I'm resurrecting the town's links

-with Alice in Wonderland.

-We wanted to create something

-special and unique for the town.

-We've created a first-of-its-kind

-3D audio visual experience.

-This generational learning activity

-can be enjoyed by the whole family.

-The tour lasts 90 minutes and starts

-at the tourist information centre.

-Our only task was to listen

-to Alice and her friends...

-..and follow them

-as they guided us via the app.

-I am the Cheshire Cat.

-Leusa, do you like the iPad

-and what you can see on the screen?

-I can see the characters

-and Llandudno.

-Your favourite character is Alice.

-Do you like this app

-or do you prefer the sand?

-He prefers the sand!

-Let's carry on.

-Let's carry on.

-

-Come on, Rhyddid!

-Trystan, the children

-are obviously enjoying themselves.

-It's fantastic as we've entered

-into a child's world.

-They can follow the map on the iPad

-and it entertains them.

-They get to visit wonderful spots

-where locals don't normally come.

-What have we seen so far?

-What have we seen so far?

-

-We've seen the rabbit and the cards.

-You spotted

-your favourite character.

-I saw the Cheshire Cat.

-Have you enjoyed this tour?

-Have you enjoyed this tour?

-

-Yes.

-I'm going to be old-fashioned and

-use the map whilst you use the app.

-I want the map!

-Thanks for coming for this walk.

-If you would like

-a sneak peak of the app...

-..it's available at Llandudno

-Tourist Information Centre.

-You can also search for it

-on the App Store...

-..by searching for White Rabbit

-or Alice Origins.

-Llyr Gwyn Lewis and Lleucu Siencyn

-are my studio guests this evening.

-Did you know about the connection?

-I was aware of the connection.

-I'm glad to see this

-Alice in Wonderland app.

-I didn't know much

-about Lewis Carroll.

-In Cardiff, my colleagues specialize

-in children's literature.

-One of them has been looking

-at Welsh translations.

-I'll have to tell Sioned of the

-connection.

-Have you had supper this evening?

-Next, we turn our attention to food

-and a very different restaurant...

-..which has reached the top 10

-restaurants on the TripAdvisor site.

-The Clink is the name

-of the restaurant...

-..and it's situated

-next to Cardiff Prison.

-Llinos has been to sample the food.

-As someone who lives

-on the outskirts of Cardiff...

-..I've tried to book a table

-at The Clink for many months.

-I'm here to eat, enjoy and find out

-why this restaurant is so popular.

-The restaurant trains prisoners.

-The workers have come

-from a category D prison.

-When they come here, they have yet

-to serve between six and 18 months.

-We teach them in the kitchen

-and train front of house staff.

-It helps on their CVs

-and gives them some confidence.

-It also helps them to carry on

-with their lives and start again.

-Hello, welcome to The Clink.

-Lowri, thanks for meeting me

-for lunch, this afternoon.

-What do you know about The Clink?

-The Clink has been the place to eat

-in Cardiff for the past year.

-There's so much appeal

-at this restaurant.

-It's been so successful...

-..that I've failed to book a table

-to review the restaurant.

-Therefore, I'm grateful

-for this invite.

-All of the items produced

-are made at the restaurant.

-My name is Ben and I'm going to be

-your waiter today.

-The course of the day

-is cranberry, mango and cinnamon.

-I've been working here for

-eleven months and it's amazing.

-I'm learning good skills

-including how to cook.

-It's changed my life...

-..and made me realise I can do legal

-things instead of illegal things.

-After wondering what to have,

-we chose our starters.

-I had a brie starter.

-I had a wonderful and fresh

-autumnal salad to start.

-I had perfectly-prepared venison

-which was pink in the middle.

-There's always room for pudding.

-I had a chocolate tart.

-It's a feast for the eyes as

-the dishes looked like works of art.

-It was also a feast for the senses

-and it was a great experience.

-There's a pleasant atmosphere

-and the decor is rather swish.

-It's contemporary, warm

-and the welcome is fantastic.

-Our customers are talking about

-the restaurant on TripAdvisor.

-We have over 500 five star reviews

-which is fantastic.

-People are always

-giving us wonderful reviews.

-It helps the workers

-as it gives them added courage.

-The prices aren't cheap but it's

-a reflection of the quality of food.

-This restaurant deserves to be

-among the best eateries in Wales.

-Llyr Gwyn Lewis and Lleucu Siencyn

-are my studio guests this evening.

-Lowri Cooke praised The Clink.

-Did you enjoy the food?

-I've been there and I enjoyed.

-The food was wonderful.

-I'd like to go back there.

-We're celebrating at the Red House

-in Merthyr on Monday.

-Next year is a big year as we're

-celebrating Roald Dahl.

-I'll come back to tell you about our

-celebrations.

-Thank you.

-That's all we have time

-for this evening.
