-It's a pleasure to welcome

-the former rugby player...

-..and one of Wales' current coaches,

-Robin McBryde.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Before we turn our attention

-to your Christmas stocking...

-..it was announced last week,

-that you will be the head coach...

-..of Wales when they take on

-Tonga and Samoa over the summer.

-The tour will bring back many

-memories for you.

-I have many fond memories.

-It was 1994, 23 years ago that I won

-my first cap...

-..playing in Fiji.

-The memories will return.

-What kind of squad will it be?

-I want to choose an experienced

-team.

-The Lions tour will be taking place

-in New Zealand...

-..if there are any injuries, I hope

-we will have players.

-It will be a big challenge.

-It will be a challenge, but it

-will be interesting to see...

-..how many Welsh players will get a

-place in the Lions team.

-The fist thing takes us to Anglesey.

-In my stocking...

-..I would like good weather for

-the National Eisteddfod 2017.

-It will be the first week of August

-in Anglesey.

-I thought I had a good chance by

-asking Yvonne for good weather.

-I'll speak with Santa!

-The Eisteddfod will mean

-a lot to me...

-..as I will have been in my

-Eisteddfod post for ten years.

-It will be the first time

-that I get to go back.

-Next year, it will be ten years

-since we lost Grav...

-..and since I lost my father.

-The people of Anglesey can't wait

-to welcome the Eisteddfod.

-My post at the Eisteddfod

-is different to rugby.

-It means a lot to me...

-..to be able to speak Welsh and I

-love it.

-You will have a suntan from the

-South Seas.

-I may have a tan from Samoa.

-I know where to come if I don't have

-the right weather.

-The best weather is great

-for the Eisteddfod.

-You have to be special

-to carry the sword...

-..that's what Grav told me.

-The next thing I would like

-in my stocking...

-..is for none of the Welsh players

-to sustain an injury...

-..before the Six Nations

-Championship.

-England are currently playing well.

-We want to stop the momentum.

-We have to stop the English chariot.

-We don't want any injuries.

-The players face an important time

-in their regional teams...

-..before the Six Nations.

-Alex King is joining your team.

-We're bringing in another

-experienced coach.

-Alex King will contribute a lot to

-the team and the coaching staff.

-If we can do what we did

-in the Autumn Internationals...

-..then we have the right mind-set

-for the future games.

-We are the ones who put the pressure

-on ourselves.

-A lot of things

-are said and written...

-..but when it comes down to it...

-..if we get anywhere near our

-potential...

-..we can do it.

-In my stocking, I would like for my

-friend Irfon Williams...

-..to come and see the

-Wales v England Six Nations game.

-Five of us have kept in touch

-since our school days.

-Irfon kept us all in touch.

-I hope they will all come down

-for the game.

-I know I'll be working...

-..but I hope to celebrate with the

-boys after the game.

-Where are you at Christmas?

-I'll be spending Christmas at home

-in Tumble.

-Good luck to you!

-Carys Tudor has joined us with last

-minute festive tips for the home.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Some people are panicking.

-Let's start with the tablecloth.

-I didn't get rid of the wax from

-last year.

-Don't panic.

-If you have candle wax on

-a tablecloth...

-..put ice on it to harden it, or put

-The tablecloth will need to be

-placed in a freezer for 30 minutes.

-Then you can scrape the wax

-off with a knife.

-It will help to get most of the wax

-off.

-This is quite a big lump of wax.

-You can also put a piece

-of brown paper on the wax...

-..and iron it until the wax

-has moved on to the paper.

-Wash the tablecloth

-or use a wet wipe to clean.

-It should all come off.

-If you don't have time

-to put it in the wash...

-..use wet wipes on it.

-I've also got some candle tips.

-Don't use coloured candles

-on a white tablecloth.

-Cheaper candles will stick.

-If you want to use a coloured

-candle, use a runner under it...

-..and a plastic placemat

-under the runner.

-This could go between the tablecloth

-and the runner.

-Never put tea lights directly

-onto a table.

-You will be asking for trouble.

-Once you've eaten

-and have used the napkin...

-..they could start a fire.

-If your cups and

-dishes have stained...

-..use bleach and salt to clean.

-I couldn't find a dirty one.

-Rub the china with the salt

-and the bleach.

-You will then need

-to rinse them well.

-It is a pleasure to do.

-They look as good as new then.

-If you want to decorate glasses...

-..you can use doilies to create an

-angel effect.

-Most people have spare doilies.

-You should fold the doily

-in half and fold.

-It will make a nice shape.

-I remember doing something similar

-in school.

-If you need a last minute

-table centrepiece...

-..place battery lights

-in a wine bottle...

-..and place the bottle on a plate

-with some greenery.

-You can buy battery lights

-from a variety of stores.

-It looks great.

-Use any plate underneath.

-This is an effective centrepiece.

-You can take some of the decorations

-from the tree...

-..and place them in a glass.

-If you want to give cookies as a

-gift, use a decorated Pringles tube.

-To rid of cooking smells and for a

-last minute Christmas aroma...

-with a cinnamon stick and water...

-..and place in a small bowl and

-leave in the room.

-Tissue paper is great for wrapping

-any last minute gifts.

-You can also use it to create hats

-and decorate.

-Blu Tack and sellotape help to fix

-most things...

-..and help to create decorations.

-Thank you, Carys.

-Recently, we've put numerous

-Christmas essentials to the test...

-..from crackers, to mince pies and

-even champagne.

-Today, Daf Wyn has been asking

-the people of Carmarthen...

-..to give their opinions on

-different cranberry sauces.

-Enjoy.

-You can't have turkey on Christmas

-Day without cranberry sauce.

-Today, the people of Carmarthen will

-taste ones by Aldi, M&S and Tesco...

-..and try to guess which is cheapest

-and which is the most expensive.

-What do you look for

-in a cranberry sauce?

-The taste because it needs

-to enrich the turkey.

-You're not a fan of that one.

-You're not a fan of that one.

-

-I don't like cranberries!

-That was a real mouth full.

-I don't like that one.

-Try the next one.

-Is it bitter or sweet?

-Is it bitter or sweet?

-

-Bitter.

-That's quite sweet.

-That's the best one so far.

-That's the nicest.

-Which is the cheapest?

-Which is the cheapest?

-

-That one.

-Which is the most expensive?

-It's between those two because

-the pots look posh and square.

-What about the mid-range one?

-That one, maybe.

-And that's the most expensive.

-Unfortunately,

-you didn't get any right.

-This is the mid-range one by Tesco.

-Your cheapest is the most expensive

-by Marks and Spencer at 1.50...

-..and your most expensive

-was the cheapest and by Aldi at 99p.

-Why is that the cheapest?

-I don't know but it was lovely.

-I don't know but it was lovely.

-

-It was the sweetest.

-It's the most expensive one

-This is 99p from Aldi and this is

-the mid-range one by Tesco at 1.49.

-This one wasn't as sweet.

-This is second, that's third

-and this one's first.

-Congratulations, you're the first

-to get them all correct.

-That's the most expensive, this is

-the cheapest and that's mid-range.

-You got the mid-range one correct...

-..but this is the most expensive

-at M&S at 1.50...

-..and this is the cheapest by Aldi

-so you prefer the 99p Aldi sauce.

-You don't like cranberry sauce

-so it doesn't really matter.

-No, I'll stay away from them all!

-You have a few minutes left to call

-our Christmas Cracker Competition.

-Here's the question again.

-1) curry, 2) fruit, or 3) pasta?

-tells us about a new campaign...

-..to curb the amount of time

-children spend in front of screens.

-We'll also hear about the new show,

-The Emperor's New Clothes.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Our Christmas Cracker phone lines

-are now closed.

-Rhian Barrance from Cardiff

-University has joined us...

-..to talk about

-a new government campaign.

-It aims to encourage

-parents and children...

-..to limit the time young

-people spend on their screens.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-How much of a problem is this issue?

-In our research,

-it's a big problem.

-We studied Year 8 and Year 10 kids.

-We asked them

-for their sleep patterns.

-We asked how often they woke up

-to use social media.

-A third of kids woke up at least

-once a week to use social media.

-It really interferes on sleep.

-That is worrying.

-That's the point of the campaign.

-Parents aren't aware

-what their children are doing.

-We want parents to speak

-with their children.

-This is possibly on the increase.

-It is probably on the increase.

-More tablets are now being used

-and bought.

-Who is to blame?

-Is it the parents for giving too

-much freedom?

-It's about developing ways

-of using the technology.

-We don't think about how we use the

-technology.

-If your phone is by the bed,

-then it will be used.

-What advice do you have?

-You shouldn't use them for an hour

-before bedtime.

-It's using them sensibly.

-They should be controlled.

-Is there a difference

-between boys and girls?

-We found girls had more sleep.

-However, they were more likely

-to wake up to use social media.

-Parents use them too.

-I see a lot of parents

-using their phones.

-That would be interesting research.

-Kids might use them because they see

-parents doing so.

-What affects does it have?

-There is growing evidence...

-..that the overuse of screens by

-children, especially at night...

-..can have a negative effect on

-health, education and development.

-We also asked for tiredness at

-school reports.

-Uncontrolled use of social media

-at night...

-..has a direct effect on

-tiredness levels in children.

-That would affect

-their concentration.

-We asked them questions

-about their lives generally.

-Tired children were less happy.

-It's all very complex.

-It can have a negative effect

-on children.

-Use them sensibly.

-The technology isn't the problem.

-It's how we use the tablets.

-One way of stopping the kids staring

-at screens is to go to the theatre.

-At the Sherman in Cardiff,

-The Emperor's New Clothes...

-..is being staged in Welsh

-and English in a new production.

-We went over to meet the cast.

-Come along,

-the people will be waiting.

-The Emperor...

-..the Empress...

-..and me...

-..went on the big parade.

-They marched around the city.

-We're at the Sherman Theatre

-for a new production...

-..of The Emperor's New Clothes.

-It's new script by Alun Saunders

-of Hans Christian Anderson's story.

-It's a superb script.

-I think this is a relevant

-story for us all these days.

-The Emperor has no idea

-how to be an Emperor.

-He thinks that clothes and image

-are most important.

-Make the most grand

-and noble outfit ever seen.

-wears all these amazing clothes.

-He hides behind them because the

-clothes make him feel powerful...

-..important and confident.

-Actually, inside,

-he feels very frightened.

-At the end of the show, we learn

-that image is not important...

-..compared to laughter

-and having fun.

-You are the Emperor who has fallen.

-It is a cast of young actors.

-They have brought their natural

-energy to the piece.

-They've also used their natural

-talents, like music and dance.

-I think the show is a real treat,

-full of different elements.

-There is a lot of music in the show

-and we all play an instrument.

-I play the banjo and guitar,

-Elin plays clarinet and saxophone...

-..and Geraint plays the trumpet.

-For the show I have learnt to play

-the banjo and Elin, the clarinet.

-There's a lot of new music.

-The show is full of fun

-and it's very colourful.

-We do some clowning around so

-there's some physical comedy too.

-It's fun.

-The audience can see all kinds

-of action at close quarters.

-It's perfect for children who are

-at the theatre for the first time.

-Are you enjoying it?

-Are you enjoying it?

-

-Yes.

-Oh, pardon!

-If you're looking for something fun

-for the family over Christmas...

-..come to see The Emperor's

-New Clothes at the Sherman.

-The show is performed

-in English and in Welsh.

-It's great to be in Cardiff and it

-runs until the end of December.

-There are still a few tickets

-remaining on shermantheatre.co.uk

-Make sure you tune in to Heno this

-evening at 7.00pm with Elin Fflur.

-Gerallt learns

-about the Winter Solstice.

-The days will start to get longer!

-Iolo Williams will

-be in the studio...

-..and Elin welcomes two new faces

-to the programme, Glesni a Gethin.

-There will also be another

-opportunity to enter...

-..our Christmas Cracker Competition.

-Make sure you tune it at 7.00pm.

-After the break, we'll be

-phoning one lucky winner...

-..in our Christmas

-Cracker Competition.

-If you hear the phone ringing,

-answer with "Christmas Cracker".

-And Lyndon Lloyd from Age Cymru...

-..has an important message

-to the elderly this Christmas.

-See you in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-The big moment has arrived.

-It's time to call a lucky viewer in

-our Christmas Cracker Competition.

-Let's get dialling.

-The code is 01492.

-Earlier, we asked what is one of the

-main ingredients of a mince pie?

-The answer is, of course, fruit.

-There's a Kindle, a television,

-an iPad Mini, blankets and hampers.

-It's ringing.

-Hello?

-Hello, it's Yvonne and Rhodri

-from S4C's Prynhawn Da.

-Do you have something to tell us?

-Do you have something to tell us?

-

-Christmas Cracker!

-Yes, that's right!

-Who's on the line, please?

-It's Mai.

-You answered the question correctly

-in today's competition.

-Please choose a cracker

-between 1 and 28.

-I'll have number 26.

-Let's pull the cracker

-to see what you've won.

-Congratulations, this is your prize.

-Congratulations,

-you've won an Afternoon Tea set.

-Are you happy with your prize?

-Yes, that's wonderful.

-Thank you for entering our

-Christmas Cracker Competition.

-A very Merry Christmas to you!

-For every prize that you win, a

-gift will also be given to charity.

-Today, we're making a donation

-to the charity, Blue Sky...

-..that helps patients, families and

-staff at hospitals in North Wales.

-You can win more prizes on tonight's

-Heno and Prynhawn Da again tomorrow.

-Lyndon Lloyd from Age Cymru

-has joined us in the studio.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-You have a very important message

-to us over the Christmas period.

-Our message is that nobody should

-have nobody.

-It's to remind us about loneliness.

-That might surprise you.

-Over 72,000 old people in Wales

-say they are lonely.

-Prynhawn Da breaks

-into that loneliness.

-People tell me they watch you and

-watch Pobol y Cwm.

-That's especially in Beulah.

-Tell us more about the leaflets.

-These leaflets tell you

-what Age Cymru has to offer.

-It's easy to tell people

-to stay at home.

-However, things can get expensive.

-We tell you about benefits

-that you can get.

-One is pension credits.

-Some people might not have paid

-their stamp over the years.

-We want to raise awareness

-of loneliness.

-Loneliness affects the lives of

-the elderly throughout the year...

-..but especially at Christmas.

-That's very true.

-We forget that old people

-have been young once.

-If you speak with lonely people...

-..you'll find out

-they are very interesting.

-There was a small motorcycle

-behind their loved ones...

-They tell me that they used to sit

-behind their loved ones...

-..on the motorcycle.

-the importance of Age Cymru.

-Wales has the highest percentage

-of people aged over 65 in the UK.

-People work and then retire.

-They can now volunteer

-for our charity.

-We phone people to cut into the

-loneliness.

-This year, Age Cymru offered grants

-to over 40 institutions...

-..who help the elderly.

-This assists old people to go to

-concerts, Christmas services...

-..to go shopping or to

-have a meal on Christmas Day.

-Having a meal out can really help.

-Quite often, old people

-will not ask for help.

-Our community has changed.

-Many children live away.

-The connection has been severed.

-Is it difficult to find volunteers?

-It can be difficult

-to get volunteers.

-However, once they start,

-they love it.

-In the New Year, you have the chance

-to volunteer for the charity.

-It's the perfect

-New Year's Resolution!

-Have a Merry Christmas.

-Merry Christmas.

-That's all from us today...

-..but we'll be pulling the

-Christmas Cracker again tomorrow.

-Huw opens up his wardrobe and Alun

-Guy will be tinkling the ivories.

-Sion a Sian follows

-the news and weather on S4C.

-Goodbye.
