-Hello and welcome

-to your Wednesday edition of Heno.

-My guest for the next 30 minutes

-is the actress, Carys Eleri.

-Carys has just returned

-from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

-How was the festival, Carys?

-It was crazy and tiring but great.

-Our cameras followed your show

-and we'll hear all about it later.

-Where are the Heno cameras tonight?

-Let's start with Rhodri Gomer.

-The last day of August marks the end

-of the season of agricultural shows.

-Tonight, we've had a warm welcome

-at the Llangeitho Show.

-We leave Llangeitho

-and travel to Llanberis...

-..for the 120th birthday

-of the Snowdon Mountain Railway.

-The organizers are preparing

-for an unforgettable event.

-We leave Llanberis for the delicious

-produce of the Llwynhelyg Farm Shop.

-You can still win this hamper...

-..if you enter our competition

-before 3.00pm tomorrow.

-We'll give you

-the all-important question later.

-We start in Llangeitho for one of

-the last agricultural shows of 2016.

-Rhodri Gomer

-has joined the local residents.

-According to those in the know...

-..smaller shows are the glue that

-keeps rural communities together.

-Unfortunately, over the years,

-times have been hard...

-..and some shows have ceased to be.

-On the other hand, tens, if not

-hundreds, of shows are thriving...

-..like this one

-in the village of Llangeitho.

-We started long ago

-and I do have a programme from 1935.

-That is referred to

-as the 16th show.

-It started back then but there was

-a hiatus because of the war.

-Petrol was scarce at that time.

-There is something for everyone

-at these shows.

-From livestock...

-..to these grand, old machines.

-From some tasty home baking...

-..to these delicious vegetables.

-It's all possible thanks to the

-support of the local community.

-As I've retired, I'm starting

-to come out into the country.

-These people are country folk.

-You've promised to take me

-for a spin a bit later on.

-No problem.

-You were here today to judge

-the wines and preserves.

-Were they of a high standard?

-The standard has been very high...

-..with some fabulous wines

-and amazingly good preserves.

-One competition had 26 pots of jam

-entered...

-..and I could have given

-eight of them first prize.

-For a local show,

-that's very important.

-You have to start at the bottom

-encourage people and work upwards...

-..encourage people to compete,

-especially the younger crowd.

-They are the future.

-Ieuan, what are you doing here?

-Making a collar for a sheep.

-Do you want a go?

-I'll make a mess of it.

-I know you'll make a mistake and

-you haven't even started yet!

-Take a piece underneath and

-pull it up between the two.

-Look behind me now and you can see

-the young handlers being judged.

-If they keep on going

-there's a future for the show.

-It has been a great day

-here in Llangeitho...

-..and the weather has certainly

-contributed to that.

-Joining me is the secretary

-of the show, Beryl Evans.

-It has been a tremendous day.

-Yes, the competition

-has been great.

-The standard

-has been high again this year.

-Everyone who has supported the show

-have been fantastic...

-..whether they're local

-or from further afield.

-We've had a lot of younger

-competitors winning today.

-That augurs well for the future

-of small, rural shows.

-The work actually starts weeks

-and months before the actual show.

-We start choosing competition

-s and judges in January...

-..before putting the programme

-together and then printing it.

-We then have to prepare the fields

-and tents for the day of the show.

-It's all gone so well

-and we've had a brilliant day.

-Thank you for the welcome.

-From a small show to a familiar

-face from the Royal Welsh...

-..Ifan Jones Evans.

-Ifan, these shows are crucial.

-We heard about them earlier...

-..and how they're the future

-of the Royal Welsh.

-I compare them to the smaller

-eisteddfods...

-..which feed the National

-and Urdd Eisteddfods.

-Shows in Llangeitho, Tregaron, Capel

-Bangor, Llanilar and Sioe Bont...

-..are crucial for this area.

-If anything, they're going

-from strength to strength.

-There has been a resurgence

-in the past few years.

-It's very competitive

-but it's also a social event.

-It's important for farmers

-to have somewhere to go.

-The winter is long

-here in Ceredigion.

-It's a lovely place

-for farmers to gather.

-Ifan, thanks for your time today.

-Enjoy the rest of the day.

-Join me later in the programme when

-I'll reveal where I'll be tomorrow.

-For now though,

-it's back to you in the studio.

-Thank you, Rhodri and to everyone

-in Llangeitho for the warm welcome.

-The show had the best

-that local produce has to offer.

-Our competition

-of Welsh produce continues.

-The competition closes at 3.00pm

-tomorrow but these are the details.

-On the eve of September

-when summer is a distance memory...

-..why not enter our competition

-to win a hamper of Welsh produce...

-..from the Llwynhelyg Farm Shop

-in Ceredigion?

-From bara brith to Welsh red wine

-- there's something for everyone.

-If you want to win this hamper,

-simply answer this question.

-How many days

-are there in September?

-1) 25, 2) 27, or 3) 30?

-Call us with your answer

-on 08443 35 12 44.

-It's 5p a minute plus your telephone

-company's network access charge.

-Our phone lines close at 3.00pm

-on Thursday.

-Entrants must be over 18 years.

-Don't call after the lines close

-as you may still be charged.

-Get dialling for your chance

-to win that incredible prize.

-A new series of Parch

-starts at 9.00pm on S4C on Sunday.

-It follows the complicated and

-surreal life of the vicar, Myfanwy.

-It's written by Fflur Dafydd and

-is sure to enchant us once again.

-Jesus, pink just isn't your colour.

-Oh!

-Tadcu, is Mam an alcoholic?

-She had a bit of a funny turn

-because of pressure in work.

-You have what we call

-an arteriovenous malformation.

-Have you been suffering

-from headaches?

-Or have you been seeing things?

-Usually, an operation is needed to

-stop the bleeding, a craniotomy.

-It's getting worse.

-My guest is the actress

-who plays the role of Myfanwy.

-Carys Eleri,

-welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-The second series is very different

-to the first series.

-In the final of the last series, we

-were in heaven.

-The series takes place nine months

-following the surgery.

-She's no longer a vicar,

-but has become a chaplain.

-She always worried about her role

-within the church.

-She's a chaplain

-at the supermarket and jail.

-She meets Gethin in jail as part

-of her work as a chaplain.

-Aled Pedrick

-plays the role of Gethin.

-She has a different kind of

-relationship with him.

-She doesn't know if she can trust

-him or not...

-..as he's killed someone in the

-past.

-Myfanwy's personal life is in

-tatters.

-Myfanwy told Eurig that she loved

-him in the last series.

-She is married and all the family

-know how she feels.

-Nine months later,

-things haven't changed.

-You can't go back

-and change what you've said.

-I can't give too much away.

-The first series has been shown

-again by S4C recently.

-We've had a fantastic

-reaction on Twitter.

-Dafydd Iwan watched it

-for a second time.

-Fflur Dafydd is the writer.

-Fflur is very clever and we didn't

-know where she would go...

-..with this second series.

-Fflur is an incredible writer.

-When I auditioned for the role...

-..I couldn't believe the standard of

-her work.

-She's taken the character to new

-levels.

-You play a vicar and chaplain.

-How do you research that role?

-I was raised in chapel.

-Religion has played

-a major role in my life.

-My beliefs have changed.

-Fflur approached a vicar to have

-advice when writing the series.

-She was a lovely vicar.

-She's done a PHD in Feminsim within

-the church.

-Do you prefer TV or the stage?

-When you work on television you want

-to work on stage...

-..and vice versa.

-Myfanwy is a different characters to

-the one I played at the Fringe.

-Returning to play Myfanwy was very

-strange.

-After the break, we return

-to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

-The three-week-festival

-finished yesterday...

-..and the Welsh, including my guest,

-left their mark on the 2016 Fringe.

-The Snowdon Mountain Railway is also

-celebrating its 120th birthday...

-..and all are welcome in Llanberis

-over the weekend.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back to Heno.

-Carys, are you ready?

-We are about to show

-our viewers a clip...

-..from your amazing

-Edinburgh Fringe show, Yuri.

-Are you one of these actors who hate

-watching yourself on television?

-No.

-I don't really mind.

-Well, it's time for our final visit

-to Edinburgh this year with Daf Wyn.

-Enjoy.

-Amongst the thousands of shows

-at Edinburgh Fringe Festival...

-..were two Welsh shows

-which made quite an impression...

-..A Good Clean Heart and Yuri.

-The truth is, I know I'm adopted.

-The play is about two adopted

-brothers who are raised separately.

-One in Wales as a Welsh speaker,

-the other in London.

-They meet for the first time

-in the play...

-..and it raises many questions

-about adoption...

-..and also what being Welsh

-means to people.

-It's a very emotional play.

-I was going through the adoption

-process at the time...

-..so I thought about how it might

-affect two brothers.

-I worked with Kate Wasserberg

-from the Other Room...

-..to develop it from

-a ten-minute piece...

-..into a play of about an

-hour and a quarter.

-Now we have a play!

-On the set we have a bus stop.

-The words can be seen above it.

-The majority of our audience

-can't understand Welsh...

-..but they can still follow the show

-quite easily.

-The reviews have been very positive.

-It's great to take work from Wales

-up to Edinburgh for people to enjoy.

-People were really touched

-by the play.

-It's very emotional

-and people have been moved.

-Another play which moved people, for

-very different reasons, was Yuri.

-It's about a couple

-who can't have children.

-I play Adele who takes matters

-into her own hands.

-She steals a child

-from a supermarket.

-He's actually a boy of eighteen.

-She forces her husband

-to accept him as their son.

-Patrick is Adele's husband and I

-play him throughout the show.

-He finds out more about Yuri

-and we see how he reacts to him.

-He goes a bit crazy,

-as I have during the Fringe!

-Stop shouting at me!

-Keeping up the energy is tough.

-I am just about to do the show.

-I don't look like this all the time!

-I haven't been crying.

-You should see me after the show!

-We do a show at ten past ten

-every night.

-It really takes it out of us.

-Despite the tiredness,

-the audience love the show...

-..with everyone agreeing that it's

-a play which sticks in the memory.

-Completely bonkers,

-nuts, but it works.

-It's fab and the energy

-that comes across is fantastic.

-It has to be seen

-and the acting was amazing.

-I really enjoyed it.

-We've always had a warm reception

-and people stay behind for a chat.

-I'm delighted, to be honest.

-People have enjoyed it but at the

-end they pull this kind of face.

-They pull that face quite often.

-If I see that face, I know

-we've done our job, I'm happy.

-I did say surreal.

-It is a crazy show.

-It was challenging.

-We did a show every night...

-..and only had one night off.

-The show would end at midnight.

-You have to keep focused each night.

-Did you see any shows?

-We saw A Good Clean Heart,

-which was fantastic.

-We also saw

-How To Win Agaisnt History.

-It was written by someone from

-Anglesey.

-How many of you took your holiday

-in Snowdonia this summer?

-Who went to the summit of Snowdon

-by foot or by rail?

-The Snowdon Mountain Railway is

-celebrating its 120th anniversary.

-This weekend, many events are taking

-place to celebrate this birthday.

-The Snowdon Mountain Railway

-was established in 1894.

-The most difficult part was erecting

-the viaduct over the waterfall...

-..but it only took 72 days to lay

-the railway from here to the summit.

-A train runs from Llanberis

-to the summit every 30 minutes.

-We have diesel and steam trains and

-four of the original steam trains.

-The oldest locomotive is Enid No.2.

-She's done the equivalent of four

-trips to the moon in her lifetime.

-We had new trains three years ago

-and one is called Katherine Jenkins.

-The others are Bryn Terfel

-and Sir David Brailsford.

-We hope to name the last one

-in the near future.

-We're from Singapore

-and came here for our holidays.

-It's been a great journey

-up the mountain and down again.

-There was a great view, the train

-was lovely and I loved the ride.

-It was good and we enjoyed it.

-There's beautiful views and we would

-definitely return to the railway.

-We're looking forward

-to celebrating this birthday...

-..with stalls, a gin distillery, hog

-roast and we'll dress as Victorians.

-We hope everyone comes from Friday

-2 September to Sunday 4 September.

-We hope to see locals, visitors

-and children enjoying the weekend.

-Carys Eleri has been my studio guest

-this evening.

-You probably need a rest.

-I would love

-to have a bit of a rest.

-We've filmed

-the second series of Parch.

-What else have you got coming up?

-From then,

-I moved on to Yuri rehearsals.

-I'll be attending Festival No 6

-this weekend.

-I have more work on the horizon.

-I've missed doing music work...

-..and look forward to doing more in

-the future.

-You do very different things.

-I love to have a variety of

-different work.

-I need to be constantly creative.

-Thank you, Carys.

-That's all from Llanelli

-this evening.

-Thanks for your company

-over the past half an hour...

-..but we now return

-to Rhodri in Llangeitho.

-From Carys and myself, goodnight.

-I've had a great day

-here in Llangeitho.

-Thanks to all for the warm welcome.

-Tomorrow, I will be live from

-Pontyberem Rugby Club for the darts.

-If you're in the area,

-pop in for a game.

-We leave you with a selection

-from our summer photo competition.

-Your chance to win an iPad

-ends at midnight tonight.

-Let's go to Pontyberem.
