-Welcome to you all. Thank you

-for accepting the invitation.

0:01:000:01:04

-In the previous episode,

-the teams got to know one another...

0:01:040:01:09

-..as they embarked on tasks

-that I, Shan Cothi, set them.

0:01:090:01:13

-What am I doing here?

0:01:160:01:19

-I have to do it!

0:01:190:01:21

-I have to do it!

-

-Where's he gone? Has he fallen?

0:01:210:01:23

-Come on, Myfanwy.

0:01:230:01:25

-Come on, Myfanwy.

-

-The hard bit's over.

0:01:250:01:26

-I don't mind mud or heights, but

-singing in front of the judges...

0:01:270:01:32

-..really bothers me.

0:01:320:01:34

-Huw Rhys!

0:01:370:01:39

-Oh, no, I'm OK!

0:01:390:01:41

-They have their work

-cut out for them.

0:01:410:01:44

-So have we.

0:01:440:01:46

-This week

-they will all begin rehearsing.

0:01:460:01:50

-Two challenges will test them...

0:01:500:01:53

-..as well as a few surprises.

0:01:530:01:55

-The competition is wide open.

-There's no telling how it will go.

0:01:560:02:01

-On Aled Hall's team

-are Mari Lovgreen and Richard Elis.

0:02:030:02:07

-I have to say, hand on heart,

-that I'm very pleased....

0:02:070:02:12

-..with my team, the green team.

0:02:120:02:15

-I'm looking forward

-to coaching Mari.

0:02:180:02:21

-I'm going to

-try to push her to the limit.

0:02:210:02:24

-We have a great duet in the making.

0:02:250:02:27

-I'm used to seeing him as a jokey

-character who likes to lark around.

0:02:270:02:32

-But I think he'll help

-my confidence because I'm worried...

0:02:320:02:36

-..that my nerves

-will get the better of me.

0:02:370:02:40

-He's just the person to make me

-feel comfortable on stage.

0:02:400:02:44

-And then there's Richard.

0:02:450:02:47

-He's a real character.

0:02:480:02:50

-I'd love to sing a duet

-with James Dean Bradfield...

0:02:510:02:54

-..but I'm singing with Aled instead,

-which is a little different.

0:02:560:03:01

-I think

-I'll have more of a laugh with Aled.

0:03:010:03:04

-He puts me at ease instantly and I

-hope he'll get the best out of me.

0:03:040:03:09

-On Alun's team...

0:03:100:03:12

-I have one of the strongest

-candidates on my team - Rhodri.

0:03:120:03:17

-I also have one of the weakest -

-Myfanwy.

0:03:170:03:21

-I would've liked to have sung a duet

-with the late Kirsty MacColl...

0:03:210:03:26

-..but I'll

-have to make do with Alun.

0:03:260:03:29

-Alun mentioned...

0:03:330:03:35

-..he might have to introduce

-a few moves into the performance.

0:03:360:03:39

-I have to admit,

-that's not something I relish.

0:03:400:03:43

-I'm not much of a dancer.

0:03:430:03:45

-Usually it takes a few pints

-to get me on the dance floor.

0:03:450:03:50

-I really think Rhodri

-has a strong chance of winning.

0:03:500:03:54

-And on Rhys's team...

0:03:540:03:56

-There's work to be done...

0:03:560:03:58

-..to convince Catrin that she

-can give a good performance.

0:03:590:04:03

-I think I have to do

-a lot of practising alone.

0:04:050:04:08

-I'll have to put in the hours

-until I feel comfortable enough...

0:04:080:04:13

-..to let myself go.

0:04:130:04:15

-I once said I'd like to

-sing a duet with Sir Elton John.

0:04:170:04:20

-He was

-Chairman of Watford years ago.

0:04:210:04:24

-I have to say, my mentor,

-Rhys Meirion, is better.

0:04:240:04:27

-If he can teach me to sing...

0:04:270:04:29

-..he can teach anybody.

0:04:300:04:32

-They're both very confident

-in their fields of work.

0:04:320:04:36

-I hope they can be as confident when

-they're out of their comfort zones.

0:04:360:04:41

-Good morning, Caradog.

0:04:460:04:47

-The first morning of rehearsals,

-Alun begins coaching Rhodri...

0:04:480:04:52

-..with musical director, Caradog.

0:04:520:04:55

-I'm very pleased

-with the song Alun's chosen for me.

0:04:550:04:59

-Have Yourself

-A Merry Little Christmas.

0:04:590:05:02

-It's not the type of song I sing,

-but the more I listen to it...

0:05:020:05:06

-..the more I'm getting to like it.

0:05:060:05:09

-My wife Carys is fed up of me

-singing it around the house.

0:05:090:05:13

-Put your hand there,

-just underneath your belt.

0:05:130:05:17

-These are panting exercises.

0:05:200:05:22

-Alright? Pretend you're a dog.

0:05:220:05:25

-PANTS RAPIDLY

0:05:260:05:28

-OK?

0:05:300:05:32

-I can't do it.

0:05:330:05:35

-Take a deep breath...

0:05:370:05:39

-Warming up the voice

-is incredibly important.

0:05:390:05:42

-It's vital that we warm up the

-voice muscle and the diaphragm...

0:05:430:05:47

-..just as Rhodri

-would warm up before a game...

0:05:470:05:50

-..or a training session.

0:05:500:05:53

-We don't always do it,

-which is bad, but it's vital...

0:05:530:05:57

-..that we

-warm up the voice before singing.

0:05:570:06:00

-# Let your heart be light

0:06:000:06:05

-# Next year all our troubles

-will be out of sight #

0:06:050:06:10

-OK, we'll stop there. Don't go

-# Have yourself a merry... #

0:06:100:06:15

-When you were singing,

-you had a Northwalian accent.

0:06:150:06:20

-I was just going to say,

-"We're not on Rhys Meirion's team!"

0:06:210:06:25

-We're not on Rhys Meirion's team,

-we're on the west-is-best team.

0:06:250:06:29

-So it's not # Have yourself

-a merry little Christmas #

0:06:290:06:35

-Not that at all.

0:06:350:06:37

-I was pleased with the first

-rehearsal. I picked up a few tips.

0:06:370:06:41

-It was very constructive

-but there's a long way to go.

0:06:420:06:46

-I'm nowhere near where I

-want to be or where I should be.

0:06:460:06:50

-# Make the yule-tide gay #

0:06:500:06:55

-Alun is very meticulous - he breaks

-things down and simplifies things...

0:06:550:07:00

-..which is great for me

-because I'm a simple lad.

0:07:000:07:03

-# If the Fates allow #

0:07:030:07:06

-# If the Fates allow #

-

-Cheeky smile. Cheeky wink. Lovely!

0:07:060:07:08

-That was really good.

0:07:090:07:10

-That really was good.

0:07:110:07:13

-It's Myfanwy's turn next.

0:07:140:07:16

-It's a chance for her

-to work on her voice.

0:07:160:07:19

-PRACTISES SCALES

0:07:230:07:25

-I'm very concerned...

0:07:310:07:34

-..because

-there are problems with her pitch.

0:07:340:07:37

-It's difficult getting her

-to sing the right note...

0:07:380:07:41

-..especially the top notes.

0:07:410:07:43

-# Try to sing that A #

0:07:440:07:46

-# Sing A #

0:07:460:07:49

-Good. Excellent.

0:07:490:07:51

-I'm concerned...

0:07:520:07:54

-..but I've also been

-pleasantly surprised.

0:07:550:07:57

-I want her to enjoy herself.

0:07:580:08:00

-# The rare old mountain dew

0:08:000:08:05

-# I turned my face away

0:08:050:08:08

-# And dreamed about you #

0:08:080:08:12

-Good. Well done.

0:08:120:08:14

-Now I'm going to say something

-I never thought I'd say.

0:08:150:08:18

-I want you to think uglier.

0:08:190:08:22

-When I was handed

-Fairytale Of New York to learn...

0:08:220:08:26

-..I was thrilled

-because I love the song.

0:08:260:08:29

-I don't think

-it's that difficult to sing either.

0:08:290:08:33

-You have to hit the right notes...

0:08:330:08:37

-..but there's also a chance

-to add some character to it.

0:08:370:08:41

-The lyrics are important.

0:08:420:08:44

-# In the drunk tank #

0:08:450:08:47

-# In the drunk tank #

0:08:480:08:49

-I can't do it.

0:08:500:08:51

-I can't do it.

-

-You can. That was great.

0:08:510:08:53

-# It was Christmas Eve, babe

0:08:540:08:57

-# In the drunk tank #

0:08:580:09:02

-This is a story about Christmas,

-but it's not a happy one at all.

0:09:020:09:06

-It's far removed...

0:09:070:09:09

-..from the image of Bing Crosby,

-Andy Williams and sleigh rides.

0:09:090:09:14

-I think that's one of the reasons

-I appreciate it so much.

0:09:140:09:18

-Lovely. I'm enjoying myself.

0:09:190:09:21

-Good. That's the intention.

0:09:220:09:24

-With the rehearsal over, Alun and

-his team visit the headquarters...

0:09:240:09:29

-..of their nominated charity,

-the NSPCC.

0:09:290:09:32

-There are three centres in Wales...

0:09:330:09:36

-..and we operate

-in many different ways.

0:09:370:09:40

-We work with families

-to try and prevent cruelty...

0:09:410:09:45

-..when the children

-are very small...

0:09:450:09:47

-..to educate them

-about caring for their children.

0:09:480:09:51

-We also work with children

-who have been victims of cruelty.

0:09:520:09:56

-We use this room...

0:09:570:09:59

-..to help them work through

-their emotions and open up.

0:09:590:10:03

-We do that through play.

0:10:040:10:06

-They create artwork...

0:10:060:10:09

-..using sand and so on.

0:10:090:10:12

-There are groups and individuals

-throughout Wales...

0:10:120:10:16

-..raising money.

0:10:160:10:18

-It's vital because 90% of

-the funding is raised in that way.

0:10:180:10:23

-We receive only a small sum

-from the government.

0:10:230:10:26

-Do you work with any other

-organisations to protect children?

0:10:260:10:31

-Yes,

-we work alongside institutions...

0:10:320:10:35

-..like rugby and swimming clubs.

0:10:350:10:38

-We train people within those clubs

-to ensure policies are in place.

0:10:380:10:42

-If they're concerned

-about a child...

0:10:430:10:46

-..they know which procedures

-to follow to protect that child.

0:10:460:10:50

-Are you responsible

-for ChildLine?

0:10:540:10:57

-The NCPCC has been running ChildLine

-for six years...

0:10:570:11:00

-..and the online service

-was launched in 2009.

0:11:000:11:04

-We've been operating it

-from Cardiff for a year.

0:11:050:11:08

-471 children have phoned us today...

0:11:090:11:12

-..to talk to someone.

0:11:130:11:15

-112 children have been online,

-and what's interesting about it...

0:11:150:11:19

-..is that children

-associate us with different things.

0:11:200:11:24

-It shows that children

-need us in different ways...

0:11:240:11:28

-..depending on their problems.

0:11:280:11:30

-Inspiration for Alun's team.

-Richard from Aled Hall's team

-is busy practising his scales.

0:11:480:11:53

-Right. Do it once again.

-Relax and put that pencil down.

0:11:580:12:02

-Relax, and as you go up the scale,

-try not to be so nasal.

0:12:020:12:07

-You're doing this at the moment.

0:12:070:12:10

-Try to open it up.

0:12:110:12:13

-To be honest, I hadn't prepared

-before coming here.

0:12:130:12:17

-PRACTISES SCALES

0:12:170:12:19

-I had to

-start straightaway with scales.

0:12:200:12:23

-I instantly went like that.

0:12:240:12:26

-You're not singing it correctly.

0:12:260:12:28

-It sounds odd singing with you.

0:12:350:12:38

-I wanted to find out

-what his pitch was like.

0:12:400:12:43

-Would he be able to hold the notes?

0:12:430:12:46

-I think he has all the grounding.

0:12:470:12:49

-We're two happy chappies and I think

-we're going to have a lot of fun.

0:12:500:12:54

-# Yes, it will come,

-Christmas will come

0:12:550:13:00

-# To us

0:13:000:13:02

-Good. Keep it going.

0:13:020:13:04

-# With children's laughter... #

0:13:040:13:06

-As a coach, Aled works with you.

0:13:080:13:11

-He says he knows I can do it...

0:13:120:13:14

-..so that fills me with confidence.

0:13:150:13:17

-We're noisy together.

0:13:170:13:20

-# Yes it will come,

-Christmas will come #

0:13:200:13:23

-Richard and Aled Hall

-are having a whale of a time.

0:13:230:13:27

-But Mari is looking anxious.

0:13:270:13:29

-I'm worried because I've had no time

-at all to practise over the weekend.

0:13:290:13:34

-The song lyrics

-were emailed to me...

0:13:350:13:37

-..but I haven't had a chance

-to look at them.

0:13:380:13:40

-I arrived today and heard that

-Rhodri had been to Alun's house...

0:13:410:13:45

-..Saturday and Sunday for

-a sum total of 11 hours' practice.

0:13:450:13:50

-I don't think that's fair. I

-call it cheating and I'm not happy!

0:13:500:13:54

-I'm glad

-you've chosen something simple.

0:13:560:13:59

-I was worried

-you'd have me doing jazz hands.

0:13:590:14:02

-I'm not that kind of performer.

0:14:020:14:05

-You don't know what we're doing yet.

0:14:050:14:07

-You don't know what we're doing yet.

-

-You're doing it naked.

0:14:070:14:09

-Oh, Steffan!

0:14:090:14:10

-It's going to be

-a major challenge...

0:14:100:14:14

-..since she's

-starting the song by herself.

0:14:140:14:18

-# On a winter's night

0:14:180:14:21

-# In the light of the stars

0:14:210:14:24

-# And the moon, so bright #

0:14:250:14:28

-I have this image of her

-singing with just one instrument.

0:14:280:14:33

-It'd be so atmospheric.

0:14:330:14:35

-She's fretting a bit, but if

-she does it, it will be so lovely.

0:14:350:14:40

-I come in gradually...

0:14:410:14:43

-..and build it up.

0:14:430:14:46

-For them to hear your voice.

0:14:460:14:49

-The reality of this has just hit me.

0:14:490:14:52

-Like a brick.

0:14:520:14:54

-On stage, with the spotlight on you.

0:14:540:14:56

-People won't expect it from you.

0:14:570:14:59

-You can do it.

0:14:590:15:01

-I have to work

-on Mari's confidence.

0:15:010:15:06

-She certainly has the ability.

0:15:060:15:09

-We'll get through it, you know.

0:15:090:15:11

-Right, let's try it again.

0:15:110:15:14

-I have to really work

-on my confidence.

0:15:150:15:18

-I think it'll be something

-I'll always worry about.

0:15:180:15:22

-There's a lot of work to do.

0:15:220:15:24

-The lyrics are important.

-We know you can sing.

0:15:260:15:29

-You can hold the note.

-No, seriously.

0:15:290:15:32

-You need to have faith in yourself.

0:15:320:15:35

-I had faith in you

-when I heard you for the first time.

0:15:350:15:38

-I was pleased you were on my team.

0:15:390:15:41

-This duet is going to be lovely.

-I'm really looking forward to it.

0:15:410:15:46

-I don't want to let you down.

-Macmillan Cancer Support

-They went to find out

-what kind of support they offer.

0:15:550:15:59

-Hello.

0:15:590:16:01

-I'm Aled. This is Mari.

0:16:010:16:03

-And, oh, what's he called again?

-Richard.

0:16:030:16:06

-Hello, how are you?

0:16:060:16:09

-My name's Gwenllian.

-I work for Macmillan.

0:16:090:16:12

-Thank you for choosing Macmillan

-as your charity.

0:16:120:16:16

-This centre opened in April 2012.

0:16:160:16:20

-More than 1,500 people

-have been here...

0:16:200:16:24

-..since the centre opened.

0:16:240:16:26

-People tend to think

-that Macmillan supports people...

0:16:270:16:31

-..at the end of their lives...

0:16:310:16:34

-..but it's important

-to get the message across...

0:16:340:16:37

-..that Macmillan

-is there from the outset.

0:16:370:16:40

-Christine Evans is just one

-of the people helped by Macmillan.

0:16:410:16:46

-I don't think we as a family...

0:16:470:16:50

-..could have coped...

0:16:500:16:53

-..with knowing

-he was going to die that week...

0:16:530:16:58

-..without the help of these nurses.

0:16:590:17:02

-They were a blessing for Dadi

-and us as a family.

0:17:040:17:08

-They'd come for

-a cup of tea and chat to us...

0:17:090:17:13

-..like they were

-members of the family.

0:17:130:17:16

-I'm sure many worry about

-the financial implications.

0:17:160:17:20

-Yes, it's one of their main concerns

-when they're diagnosed with cancer.

0:17:200:17:25

-We have benefit officers

-working throughout Wales...

0:17:260:17:30

-..advising people about benefits

-they can claim during their illness.

0:17:300:17:35

-It can be a very difficult journey

-for people with cancer.

0:17:360:17:41

-My role is to support them...

0:17:410:17:43

-..and listen to them.

0:17:440:17:46

-People think that once they've

-finished treatment, they're cured.

0:17:460:17:50

-Often it's

-the most difficult time...

0:17:510:17:53

-..because

-the treatment is so harsh...

0:17:540:17:56

-..with many side effects.

0:17:560:17:59

-There is also

-the emotional effect of cancer.

0:17:590:18:02

-Macmillan is there to offer support

-throughout the treatment...

0:18:020:18:07

-..and thereafter.

0:18:070:18:09

-The teams are given a chance

-to dress up and have fun.

0:18:170:18:21

-They are going to watch

-the Three Welsh Tenors...

0:18:210:18:24

-..perform in Plymouth at

-the Rotary International conference.

0:18:250:18:29

-The tenors

-are rehearsing in their rooms.

0:18:320:18:36

-We're in Plymouth

-for the Rotary's annual dinner.

0:18:470:18:51

-Do you remember Shan gave us

-four tasks to complete?

0:18:510:18:56

-Yes.

0:18:560:18:58

-The teams are inside, apart

-from Malcolm who couldn't make it..

0:18:580:19:03

-They have no idea what's in store.

0:19:040:19:06

-They're here to pick up tips on how

-to perform in front of an audience.

0:19:060:19:11

-Here's the challenge.

0:19:110:19:13

-We're going to sing Silent Night

-and ask them to come and join us.

0:19:130:19:18

-They have no idea,

-so they're in for a shock.

0:19:180:19:21

-Ha-ha-ha! Let's go inside.

0:19:210:19:23

-The Three Welsh Tenors.

0:19:240:19:26

-Here we go.

0:19:270:19:29

-The opening song is Myfanwy.

0:19:300:19:32

-I'm going to cry.

0:19:350:19:37

-# Why is it anger

0:19:380:19:42

-# Oh, Myfanwy

0:19:420:19:48

-# That fills your eyes

0:19:480:19:51

-# So dark and clear? #

0:19:510:19:56

-Seeing the tenors sing...

0:19:570:20:00

-..was thrilling.

0:20:000:20:02

-They own the stage...

0:20:020:20:05

-..and they communicate so well

-with the audience.

0:20:050:20:09

-There's something magical

-about them.

0:20:090:20:12

-# Give me your hand

0:20:150:20:20

-# My sweet Myfanwy #

0:20:210:20:29

-I'm not an emotional person

-but I had a lump in my throat.

0:20:290:20:34

-The chemistry

-between them is incredible.

0:20:340:20:37

-Seeing the three masters at work

-was wonderful.

0:20:370:20:41

-# Farewell #

0:20:420:20:51

-Thank you very much.

0:20:580:21:00

-Now then,

-something completely different.

0:21:000:21:04

-The three of us are in the middle

-of recording a series on S4C...

0:21:040:21:10

-They have no idea what awaits them.

0:21:100:21:12

-We have three teams

-on this programme.

0:21:130:21:15

-They've come to watch us perform.

0:21:150:21:17

-We thought it might be an idea...

0:21:180:21:20

-..to show them how to sing

-a Christmas song, so Caradog...

0:21:200:21:24

-It's a very simple one.

-Silent Night.

0:21:260:21:28

-When they started talking

-about Christmas, we panicked.

0:21:290:21:32

-But once they started singing,

-we relaxed.

0:21:330:21:36

-Then came the double whammy

-which knocked us for six.

0:21:360:21:39

-# Holy Night... #

0:21:400:21:42

-Hold on, boys. I've had an idea.

0:21:420:21:44

-We're missing an opportunity here.

0:21:440:21:47

-They're all here...

0:21:470:21:50

-..so why don't we invite them

-to join us and sing it?

0:21:500:21:53

-Come on, guys, get up here.

0:21:590:22:02

-I just didn't expect it at all.

0:22:030:22:05

-I'm not easily shocked

-but I have to admit, I was shocked.

0:22:060:22:11

-I'm glad I didn't drink more wine

-or it could have been messy.

0:22:110:22:15

-The walk-up was nerve-wracking.

-We didn't know what we had to do.

0:22:180:22:23

-We thought they might sing Silent

-Night and we'd sing something else.

0:22:230:22:28

-Mary's Boy Child was in my mind

-but I couldn't remember the words.

0:22:280:22:33

-Once we were up there,

-we enjoyed ourselves.

0:22:340:22:37

-# Silent night

0:22:370:22:41

-# Holy night

0:22:410:22:45

-# All is calm

0:22:450:22:48

-# All is bright

0:22:490:22:52

-# Round yon virgin

0:22:520:22:56

-# Mother and child

0:22:560:23:00

-# Holy infant... #

0:23:000:23:02

-It was a bit of a shock...

0:23:020:23:04

-..but having the opportunity...

0:23:050:23:07

-..to perform

-in front of a large audience...

0:23:080:23:11

-..was a confidence boost

-ahead of the concert.

0:23:110:23:14

-# Sleep in heavenly peace #

0:23:140:23:20

-We had to sing

-the second verse by ourselves.

0:23:200:23:23

-The bottom fell out of my world

-at that point!

0:23:240:23:27

-But once we started singing,

-it became strangely enjoyable.

0:23:270:23:32

-# Shepherds quake

0:23:350:23:38

-# At the sight

0:23:380:23:41

-# Glories stream... #

0:23:420:23:45

-I'm glad they hadn't told us because

-we wouldn't have enjoyed our food.

0:23:450:23:50

-We didn't have time to think.

-We just got up there and did it.

0:23:500:23:54

-# Sleep in heavenly... #

0:23:560:23:59

-Fair play to them all.

0:23:590:24:03

-They had no idea

-it was going to happen.

0:24:030:24:06

-They sang well, all five of them.

-It's Malcolm Allen's

-first rehearsal with Rhys Meirion.

0:24:300:24:34

-How are you?

0:24:340:24:36

-I haven't seen you in a long while.

0:24:370:24:39

-You're from the same place,

-aren't you? Deiniolen, here we come!

0:24:390:24:44

-I accompanied him before

-in the Albert Hall.

0:24:440:24:47

-That's right, years ago.

-Ssh, don't tell everyone!

0:24:470:24:51

-He's a professional!

0:24:510:24:53

-He performed at the Albert Hall

-before you or me.

0:24:530:24:57

-I was about 10 years old

-at the time.

0:24:570:25:00

-The song

-is Meic Stevens's Noson Oer Nadolig.

0:25:000:25:03

-I think it'll be a shock

-for some people...

0:25:030:25:06

-..because they already

-have this image of me.

0:25:070:25:10

-The way I'm going to sing

-this song will surprise people.

0:25:100:25:14

-I'm not at all frightened

-but it's an emotional song...

0:25:140:25:19

-..full of feeling.

0:25:190:25:21

-I have to express sentiments

-that I never knew I possessed!

0:25:210:25:26

-Listen to me.

-# Silver bells before dawn #

0:25:260:25:30

-Change the way you sing "dawn".

0:25:300:25:32

-# Before dawn #

0:25:330:25:34

-# Before dawn #

-

-There you go. Ideal.

0:25:340:25:36

-I look like a fish.

0:25:360:25:38

-Yes, a shark!

0:25:400:25:42

-I'd heard the song once before

-but I wasn't that familiar with it.

0:25:420:25:47

-I hadn't

-really listened to the lyrics.

0:25:470:25:50

-But that's what I've had to do.

0:25:500:25:53

-I've had to take it to heart.

0:25:530:25:56

-If I can feel it,

-then I can let it out.

0:25:560:25:59

-If I don't feel it,

-no-one else will.

0:25:590:26:01

-Sing it so that I

-can barely hear you. Try it.

0:26:020:26:06

-Are you sure?

0:26:060:26:07

-Are you sure?

-

-Yes.

0:26:070:26:09

-HE MIMES

0:26:120:26:14

-I think the audience expects Malcolm

-to belt out the tune...

0:26:180:26:22

-..like it's a party song,

-but I don't want that.

0:26:230:26:26

-I think the audience

-will be surprised...

0:26:260:26:29

-..to see Malcolm

-singing the song so sincerely.

0:26:290:26:36

-# Cold Christmas Night #

0:26:360:26:40

-Oh, Malcolm!

0:26:400:26:41

-Oh, Malcolm!

-

-I had to really concentrate then.

0:26:410:26:45

-Don't listen to Rhys because

-he's singing different notes.

0:26:460:26:50

-Don't take it the wrong way if I go

-like that just to get used to it.

0:26:510:26:55

-Don't do it on the night, though!

0:26:550:26:57

-The last to rehearse with

-Rhys and Annette is Catrin Dafydd.

0:27:010:27:05

-I've always liked

-Delwyn Sion's Un Seren.

0:27:050:27:09

-It's such a pretty song.

0:27:100:27:12

-It's added more pressure...

0:27:120:27:14

-..because I have to make sure

-my delivery does it justice.

0:27:140:27:20

-I love the song.

0:27:200:27:22

-It's one of my favourites.

0:27:220:27:24

-# But there we go

0:27:260:27:29

-# It's a strange old world #

0:27:290:27:31

-The song I've chosen for Catrin

-has an innocent feel about it.

0:27:310:27:36

-It's a bonus that it happens to be

-one of her favourites.

0:27:360:27:41

-I didn't know that beforehand...

0:27:410:27:43

-..but it's strange we ended up

-with a song that's special to her.

0:27:440:27:48

-It's in the key of D flat...

0:27:480:27:50

-..but I think

-you can go a little lower.

0:27:500:27:53

-Would you like to try it in D major?

0:27:530:27:55

-Would you like to try it in D major?

-

-Yes, definitely.

0:27:550:27:56

-# If I could only tell my granddad

0:27:580:28:04

-# That men

-have walked on the moon... #

0:28:050:28:11

-Nice.

0:28:110:28:13

-Sometimes

-I have to take a reality check.

0:28:130:28:16

-I think,

-yes, this is really happening!

0:28:160:28:19

-My grandmother is completely...

-I won't say obsessed...

0:28:190:28:23

-..but very fond of Rhys Meirion.

0:28:230:28:27

-Mam-gu will be in her element!

0:28:280:28:30

-Seriously.

0:28:320:28:34

-At the moment...

0:28:370:28:39

-..due to Catrin's nervousness...

0:28:390:28:42

-..there's a wall

-between her and the audience.

0:28:420:28:46

-It's going to be my duty...

0:28:490:28:52

-..to demolish that wall...

0:28:520:28:54

-..so that her personality

-comes across through the song.

0:28:550:28:59

-# So far

0:29:020:29:04

-# But there we go

0:29:040:29:07

-# It's a strange old world #

0:29:070:29:10

-That's it. You've filled that void.

0:29:100:29:13

-You have fantastic potential.

-Excellent. I'm excited!

0:29:150:29:19

-Who's going to win?

0:29:200:29:22

-Aled Hall and Alun Rhys Jenkins,

-ha-ha-ha!

0:29:230:29:27

-Rhys Meirion's nominated charity

-is the Wales Air Ambulance.

0:29:350:29:40

-This is the waiting room of

-the Wales Air Ambulance in Swansea.

0:29:450:29:49

-It is, of course,

-the red team's nominated charity.

0:29:490:29:54

-It's currently responding to a call

-but when it comes back...

0:29:570:30:01

-..we'll chat to Mark James,

-one of the trustees.

0:30:010:30:04

-You can ask him questions

-about this wonderful charity.

0:30:040:30:08

-This is Swansea's helicopter.

0:30:200:30:23

-It's the Eurocopter EC 135.

0:30:230:30:25

-This was the first of its kind

-used by the Wales Air Ambulance.

0:30:250:30:30

-There's another in Caernarfon...

0:30:310:30:33

-..and the third has

-just been introduced in Welshpool.

0:30:330:30:37

-You know all about it because

-you've raised funds for it.

0:30:370:30:41

-I don't know as much as you...

0:30:420:30:44

-..but the key thing

-about this new model...

0:30:440:30:47

-..is that there is room

-for the casualty, the paramedic...

0:30:470:30:51

-..as well as a third party such as

-a parent of an injured child.

0:30:510:30:55

-In the old model,

-there wasn't enough room.

0:30:560:30:58

-How much do they cost?

0:30:580:30:59

-How much do they cost?

-

-Around 2.5m for a brand new one.

0:30:590:31:03

-The medical kit is on board too.

0:31:040:31:07

-It must be costly to maintain.

0:31:070:31:09

-They've had a call.

0:31:100:31:11

-There's an emergency,

-so they must leave.

0:31:120:31:14

-You now know

-a little more about the charity.

0:31:220:31:25

-Now it's time to go back and

-practise the singing. Alright?

0:31:260:31:30

-# La-la-la-la #

0:31:300:31:32

-# Listen to their song #

0:31:320:31:35

-Great.

0:31:350:31:37

-Sorry, I just want to...

0:31:370:31:39

-They are now rehearsing the song

-they will be singing as a team.

0:31:390:31:44

-# Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ

0:31:460:31:50

-# Was born on Christmas Day

0:31:500:31:52

-They're unaware that this is

-the basis for their final challenge.

0:31:530:31:56

-# Was born on Christmas Day #

0:31:570:32:01

-Hello.

0:32:030:32:05

-Are you alright?

0:32:050:32:08

-You've no idea what's going on.

0:32:080:32:10

-We've already completed

-three challenges.

0:32:100:32:13

-This is the fourth task

-that Shan has set us.

0:32:130:32:17

-Where's Shan when you need her?

0:32:170:32:19

-I'm keeping a watchful eye, Mari!

0:32:200:32:22

-Go shopping with your teams.

0:32:220:32:24

-Presents for Christmas.

0:32:250:32:27

-Entertain the masses

-and join in the fun.

0:32:270:32:32

-Good luck

-playing Strictly Supermarket.

0:32:320:32:36

-Any ideas, guys?

0:32:360:32:38

-Supermarket Sweep?

0:32:390:32:40

-Not quite.

0:32:410:32:42

-We're going

-inside Morrisons over there...

0:32:430:32:46

-..in our teams...

0:32:460:32:49

-..to sing Mary's Boy Child

-in front of everybody.

0:32:500:32:52

-Alright? Are you ready?

0:32:530:32:55

-Are you ready? There are

-hundreds of people waiting for us.

0:32:560:33:00

-The red team's going first.

0:33:010:33:04

-Can we watch?

0:33:040:33:06

-No, you're staying here.

0:33:060:33:08

-Catrin and Malcolm, get a move on.

0:33:080:33:11

-All the best.

0:33:120:33:13

-All the best.

-

-Thank you.

0:33:130:33:15

-Those extra lessons

-will pay off now, guys!

-Good luck, my boy.

-You're going to need it.

0:33:190:33:22

-Rhys's team, the red team,

-is first to sing.

0:33:290:33:33

-These are the judges

-with the X factor.

-# Was born on Christmas Day

0:34:000:34:03

-singing the music

0:34:140:34:17

0:34:220:34:26

-# Listen to what they say... #

0:34:260:34:30

-The red team was very good. I

-wasn't expecting them to be so good.

0:34:300:34:34

-# Because of Christmas Day #

0:34:350:34:38

-I wondered what

-Malcolm's singing would be like.

0:34:380:34:41

-He was very good. They were

-much better than I expected.

0:34:420:34:45

-# Listen to what they say

0:34:450:34:48

-# That man will live... #

0:34:480:34:51

-bit shaky at the end, but fair play.

0:34:510:34:56

-# Christmas

0:34:570:35:01

-# Day #

0:35:010:35:04

-Well done. Now the marks out of six.

0:35:090:35:12

0:35:210:35:24

0:35:310:35:37

-# Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ,

0:35:580:36:00

0:36:000:36:03

0:36:180:36:21

-from fast to slow and fast again.

0:36:210:36:25

-I thought it was good.

0:36:250:36:26

0:36:270:36:29

-singer in the beginning.

-# Listen to what they say

0:36:360:36:40

-We stopped shopping to watch them.

0:36:490:36:51

0:36:510:36:56

0:37:270:37:30

0:37:310:37:34

-# Mary's little child was born

0:37:350:37:38

0:38:120:38:13

-The three of them sang well.

-It was more upbeat.

0:38:130:38:17

-They could really blast it out.

0:38:180:38:20

-That was my favourite performance.

0:38:200:38:23

-The fact that Mari Lovgreen

-is with them is a bonus.

0:38:230:38:26

-That definitely helped!

0:38:480:38:51

-Yes, they kept the best till last.

0:38:520:38:54

-The green team scored 23.

0:39:030:39:05

-They are the outright winners.

0:39:050:39:08

-Keep it up, green team.

0:39:100:39:13

-The other two teams

-better watch out.

0:39:130:39:17

-The green team was my favourite.

0:39:210:39:22

-The green team was my favourite.

-

-Yes, I preferred the green team.

0:39:220:39:24

-The others

-need to improve their harmonies.

0:39:250:39:28

-Back to Swansea...

0:39:540:39:56

-..for rehearsals.

0:39:560:39:58

-Things are hotting up.

0:39:580:40:00

-Things are hotting up.

-

-There's a spy in our midst!

0:40:000:40:02

-The atmosphere

-has definitely changed a bit.

0:40:020:40:06

-You need water

-after all that rehearsing!

0:40:060:40:09

-We've no idea

-how the other teams are doing.

0:40:090:40:13

-We don't know if they're developing.

0:40:130:40:15

-The banter

-has well and truly begun today.

0:40:160:40:19

-There's a lot of leg pulling.

0:40:190:40:21

-I really feel like

-the competition is under way now.

0:40:210:40:26

-Everybody's

-taking this challenge seriously.

0:40:260:40:30

-I'm not happy. Alun and Rhodri

-have been rehearsing all weekend.

0:40:300:40:34

-They've spent hours in that room

-today, thinking that no-one knows.

0:40:350:40:39

-I've been without my mentor.

-I've been rehearsing alone.

0:40:390:40:43

-I think he's cheating.

0:40:440:40:46

-Oh, yes, so this is where you are.

0:40:500:40:52

-Still rehearsing.

0:40:520:40:53

-Still rehearsing.

-

-Still rehearsing, Mari.

0:40:530:40:55

-You should be rehearsing too.

0:40:560:40:58

-People think Alun and I have been

-meeting on the sly to rehearse.

0:40:580:41:02

-We've met up a couple of times.

0:41:030:41:05

-We haven't done

-that much practising.

0:41:050:41:08

-We've been

-discussing things over coffee.

0:41:080:41:11

-We've done some team bonding.

0:41:110:41:13

-Perhaps everybody sees me a threat.

0:41:140:41:17

-Perhaps they're trying

-to knock me down a peg or two.

0:41:180:41:21

-I'd disagree. Good luck with that.

0:41:210:41:24

-There's no point

-having just one front runner, Alun.

0:41:240:41:28

-# In his sleigh comes Santa,

-comes Santa... #

0:41:310:41:34

-At first I thought I didn't have

-a chance in this competition.

0:41:340:41:40

-Worst case scenario, I'd be

-sent home because I can't sing.

0:41:400:41:44

-That hasn't happened.

-I know I'm improving.

0:41:440:41:47

-My competitive spirit has kicked in.

0:41:470:41:50

-It feels good.

-It makes my hairs stand on end.

0:41:500:41:53

-I'm ready for it.

0:41:540:41:55

-But are you ready for the surprise

-that awaits you, Malcolm?

0:41:560:42:00

-A visit from myself

-and the actor, Huw Rhys.

0:42:000:42:04

-Huw competed in the first series

-of Carolau Gobaith...

0:42:080:42:12

-..and made an impact

-in every sense of the word.

0:42:120:42:15

-# Silver bells before dawn

0:42:180:42:23

-# Before dawn

0:42:240:42:27

-# Before dawn

0:42:270:42:30

-# Joy fills the world

0:42:320:42:36

-# On a cold Christmas night #

0:42:380:42:42

-You expect his voice to be huge...

0:42:420:42:45

-..but the fact it isn't makes you

-fall in love with the voice.

0:42:450:42:49

-It's nice to see him holding back.

0:42:490:42:52

-It's very sweet.

0:42:520:42:54

-I'm sure he could give

-a thrilling performance...

0:42:540:42:58

-..that will touch the audience.

0:42:580:43:00

-It's very endearing.

0:43:000:43:02

-The song choice is spot on.

0:43:030:43:05

-Malcolm

-is very inspiring in many ways.

0:43:050:43:09

-He definitely

-brings that attitude to the team.

0:43:090:43:12

-This experience will stay with me.

0:43:120:43:15

-Hooray!

0:43:150:43:17

-Are you alright?

0:43:170:43:20

-Oh, no!

0:43:200:43:22

-I had a shock

-to see Shan Cothi and Huw Rhys...

0:43:230:43:26

-..at the rehearsal.

0:43:270:43:29

-It was as if my throat

-reacted to it straightaway.

0:43:290:43:35

-# That man

-could've ventured so far... #

0:43:350:43:38

-She definitely owns the song

-and Rhys is her support.

0:43:380:43:42

-When Catrin opens her mouth,

-you expect it to be comical.

0:43:420:43:47

-Hearing her sing that song

-makes you melt.

0:43:470:43:50

-Oh!

0:43:510:43:53

-Goodness me!

0:43:540:43:56

-Huw Rhys is upright for a change!

0:43:570:43:59

-How are you, boy?

0:43:590:44:01

-Huw's a good friend. He took part

-in the previous Carolau Gobaith.

0:44:020:44:06

-I've been taking the mick

-out of Huw for a year and half.

0:44:060:44:09

-Now the tables have turned

-and he's here to hear me sing.

0:44:100:44:15

-# Mistletoe hanging up above

0:44:150:44:20

-# Yes, it will come,

-Christmas will come

0:44:280:44:34

-# To me #

0:44:340:44:40

-It's brilliant. A lot of fun.

0:44:430:44:45

-I've known you for years...

0:44:460:44:48

-..and I've never heard you sing.

0:44:480:44:49

-..and I've never heard you sing.

-

-I never sing.

0:44:490:44:51

-You should do.

-You have a good voice.

0:44:510:44:54

-It was yet another surprise

-from my genius mentor, Aled.

0:44:540:44:58

-He brought the flute

-out of its case.

0:44:590:45:01

-He hasn't played in public

-for over 20 years.

0:45:020:45:04

-He said he's going to be nervous...

0:45:050:45:07

-..which doesn't instil

-much confidence in me.

0:45:080:45:11

-If he's worried, I don't know

-how that's going to make me feel.

0:45:110:45:16

-I've just sung

-in front of Huw and Shan.

0:45:160:45:20

-It was a nerve-wracking experience.

0:45:200:45:24

-Sing it as if

-you're singing it to your wife.

0:45:240:45:27

-And relax. Right.

0:45:270:45:31

-I can see the strain on his face.

0:45:320:45:34

-Relax. Any excuse. Come on, Rhodri.

0:45:370:45:40

-# Have yourself

-a merry little Christmas

0:45:420:45:47

-Perhaps.

0:45:470:45:49

-# Let your heart be light

0:45:490:45:52

-A little more...

0:45:520:45:54

-A little more...

-

-# Next year all our troubles

0:45:540:45:57

-# Will be out of sight #

0:45:570:46:00

-You're winning me over now.

0:46:000:46:02

-I'd love to sing a duet with him.

-Christmas is coming.

0:46:030:46:06

-Rhodri always calls by Ffarmers

-on Christmas morning.

0:46:070:46:11

-I'm sure after a few sherries

-there'll be plenty of singing!

0:46:110:46:16

-# The boys of the NYPD choir

-were singing Galway Bay

0:46:160:46:21

-# And the bells

-were ringing out on Christmas Day #

0:46:220:46:25

-Alun, Rhodri and myself have worked

-together, accompanied by Caradog.

0:46:260:46:31

-That's one thing...

0:46:310:46:33

-..but when there are experts...

0:46:330:46:36

-..listening to you,

-it's completely different.

0:46:370:46:40

-I felt very nervous when I saw them.

0:46:410:46:43

-# The boys of the NYPD choir

-were singing Galway Bay

0:46:440:46:49

-# And the bells were ringing out

0:46:530:46:58

-Well, I enjoyed it anyway!

0:47:030:47:05

-I can't speak for others,

-but I've enjoyed myself.

0:47:050:47:09

-You gave a real show

-and I enjoyed it.

0:47:090:47:12

-I wanted to know what happens next.

0:47:120:47:14

-The rehearsals are over.

0:47:150:47:17

-Next week...

0:47:180:47:19

-Next week...

-

-It's a competition and I feel good.

0:47:190:47:22

-This is not something I take

-lightly. I want to do it right.

0:47:220:47:27

-Everybody wants to win this

-competition and I'm no different.
