-Good.	0:03:05	0:03:06
-Like a bell!	0:03:07	0:03:09
-That was around when -Jac and Wil recorded the song.	0:03:10	0:03:16
-Bryn chose a song recorded -by Jac and Wil in 1958...	0:03:16	0:03:21
-..Tell Mother I'll Be There.	0:03:21	0:03:23

-# With my folly and neglect #	0:03:36	0:03:39
-This is your choice, -and it's lovely.	0:03:40	0:03:43
-I can copy my father and -his brother copying Jac and Wil.	0:03:43	0:03:47

-I'd listen to them singing -on Saturday nights...	0:03:50	0:03:55
-..after a few pints.	0:03:55	0:03:58
-My father wasn't much of -a singer, but Uncle Wilf was.	0:03:59	0:04:02
-People asked Dad, "Are you a bass or -baritone?" He replied, "A crooner."	0:04:03	0:04:08
-Let's give it a go.	0:04:11	0:04:12
-Let's give it a go. - -Warm up first.	0:04:12	0:04:14

-I said, "I'm going too."	0:05:37	0:05:39
-"You can't," she replied. "Why not?" -I asked. "You're too old."	0:05:40	0:05:46
-"Bryn Fon is older than me," I said.	0:05:46	0:05:49
-"Yes, but he's cool," she said.	0:05:49	0:05:53
-That hurt.	0:05:53	0:05:54
-Bryn wanted to meet in Llanllyfni, -where he was born.	0:05:57	0:06:01

-# His slippers -are warming on the hearth	0:11:20	0:11:23
-# A homely smell fills the place	0:11:24	0:11:28
-# On Friday night, he gets home -and hangs up his suit	0:11:30	0:11:34
-# And changes -into his tight denim jeans	0:11:35	0:11:39
-# He puts in his earrings	0:11:40	0:11:43
-# He puts away his razor -until Sunday night	0:11:44	0:11:48
-# And there he is	0:11:49	0:11:51

-# As sharp as a blade #	0:12:33	0:12:37
-As a blade.	0:12:39	0:12:41
-# The weekend rebel	0:12:42	0:12:44

-Can we have the note, please?	0:37:58	0:38:00
-We're nearing -the end of the programme...	0:38:04	0:38:07
-..and the duet I chose, "Gwinllan".	0:38:07	0:38:10
-Do you like the choice?	0:38:13	0:38:14
-Do you like the choice? - -Evil!!	0:38:14	0:38:15
-You're familiar with the words.	0:38:15	0:38:18
-I was afraid of the song...	0:38:18	0:38:21
-..and afraid of not -doing the poetry justice.	0:38:22	0:38:26
-It was written years ago -and included a warning.	0:38:27	0:38:31
-The Welsh language -is in a precarious state now.	0:38:31	0:38:35
-Saunders was obviously far-seeing.	0:38:36	0:38:40
-It's frightening to think of -the challenge he gave us in Wales.	0:38:41	0:38:47
-If you don't do this now...	0:38:47	0:38:50
-..the vineyard will be like this.	0:38:50	0:38:53
-Brambles grow very quickly.	0:38:53	0:38:55
-I want to ask about a difficult, -nightmarish time for you.	0:38:58	0:39:02
-One thing makes me very angry.	0:39:03	0:39:06
-It's someone been -wrongly blamed, in any manner.	0:39:06	0:39:10
-You suffered a grave injustice, -linked to your Welshness.	0:39:10	0:39:15
-You were arrested. -It must have been terrible.	0:39:16	0:39:21
-Yes.	0:39:21	0:39:23
-Maybe it was because of one song...	0:39:23	0:39:26
-..I'd been arrogant enough to write.	0:39:26	0:39:30
-The song documented events, -in a way.	0:39:30	0:39:33
-# No-one knows anything -in the cold light of day #	0:39:34	0:39:38
-The song was about the 1990s Meibion -Glyndwr holiday home arson campaign.	0:39:38	0:39:44
-NEWSREADER	0:39:44	0:39:45
-Actor Bryn Fon was taken -to a special court in Dolgellau.	0:39:45	0:39:49
-Police found parts -of an explosive device...	0:39:50	0:39:53
-..in a wall near his home.	0:39:54	0:39:56
-I was in a cell for three days -and nights in Dolgellau.	0:39:56	0:40:01
-It came down to, "What do you -have on me? Why has this happened?"	0:40:01	0:40:06
-Looking back, all I can think -is that the song infuriated them.	0:40:06	0:40:11
-They came without any evidence.	0:40:11	0:40:14
-They managed to persuade -a magistrate somewhere...	0:40:14	0:40:18
-..that there was something.	0:40:18	0:40:20
-They arrived, hoping -to find something but didn't.	0:40:20	0:40:24
-They panicked and thought, -"We'll plant something."	0:40:24	0:40:29
-They found -the evidence very quickly...	0:40:29	0:40:32
-..a few minutes after I told them -the press was on the way.	0:40:32	0:40:36
-It's a small farm, -with miles of stone walls.	0:40:37	0:40:41
-They went to one spot -and said, "Look!"	0:40:41	0:40:44
-Everyone knows if you find an -explosive device, you leave it.	0:40:45	0:40:51
-You phone the army -and they come to get rid of it.	0:40:51	0:40:54
-They brought it into the house...	0:40:55	0:40:57
-..where there was -a three-year-old child.	0:40:57	0:41:00
-They must have known what was in -the bag or they wouldn't risk that.	0:41:01	0:41:05
-There were all sorts -of silly things after that...	0:41:05	0:41:11
-..when they tried -to watch their own backs.	0:41:11	0:41:14
-They claimed they'd had a tip-off.	0:41:15	0:41:17
-At first, -they said it was a phone call.	0:41:17	0:41:20
-Then they changed their minds -and said it was a letter.	0:41:21	0:41:25
-They couldn't even -get their story right.	0:41:25	0:41:28
-No consistency.	0:41:28	0:41:29
-We went to court on Thursday night.	0:41:29	0:41:32
-They asked for -more time to detain me.	0:41:32	0:41:35
-I could have walked immediately. -Their paperwork was totally wrong.	0:41:35	0:41:40
-They needed copies of each -document for everyone in court.	0:41:40	0:41:44
-They didn't.	0:41:45	0:41:46
-They ran around Dolgellau at 10.30pm -looking for a photocopier.	0:41:46	0:41:50
-It was a shambles.	0:41:51	0:41:52
-NEWSREADER	0:41:52	0:41:53
-In a hearing held -behind locked doors...	0:41:54	0:41:56
-..the police were permitted -to hold him for another 36 hours.	0:41:57	0:42:01
-Since then, I've heard stories -and received some evidence...	0:42:02	0:42:06
-..that MI5 was involved.	0:42:06	0:42:09
-They were upstairs with monitors -watching everything...	0:42:09	0:42:14
-..and even watching me in the cell.	0:42:15	0:42:18
-Presumably, Welsh speakers -from MI5 were present.	0:42:19	0:42:24
-They refused to go through -the operator in the station.	0:42:25	0:42:29
-They insisted on having -a direct line to London.	0:42:31	0:42:35
-They didn't trust the local police.	0:42:35	0:42:38
-They thought the local police...	0:42:38	0:42:40
-Were in with you!	0:42:41	0:42:42
-..were supporting me!	0:42:42	0:42:44
-You went through -this trauma, this nightmare...	0:42:45	0:42:50
-..and were wrongly blamed.	0:42:50	0:42:52
-Did you have any kind -of apology or compensation?	0:42:52	0:42:56
-Not one word of apology.	0:42:56	0:42:58
-I did receive compensation.	0:42:59	0:43:01
-I got 5...	0:43:01	0:43:02
-..to pay for phone calls -they made in my house.	0:43:03	0:43:06
-They were in the house -after Anna and I were arrested.	0:43:06	0:43:10
-Mam sat there, day and night, -watching them.	0:43:11	0:43:14
-They went through the house with a -fine-tooth comb and used the phone.	0:43:14	0:43:19
-I still have the cheque. -I didn't cash it.	0:43:19	0:43:22
-You couldn't make it up.	0:43:22	0:43:25
-I can't say it's a pleasure getting -to know you, because I already do.	0:43:25	0:43:30
-But it's been a pleasure -to make this programme with you...	0:43:30	0:43:35
-..and visit this amazing area, -which I didn't know well.	0:43:35	0:43:39
-Thank you very much.	0:43:39	0:43:41
-Thank you very much. - -Thanks.	0:43:41	0:43:42
