-Hello, everyone.

-A warm welcome to Wyt Ti'n Gem?

-Tonight's focus

-are the towns of West Wales.

-Cardigan and Carmarthen. Which one

-deserves the biggest honour?

-We're halfway between both places...

-..at Theatr Felinfach

-in the heart of a Cardi stronghold.

-Cardis are the first people to

-put their hands in their pockets...

-..but the last

-to pull them back out!

-My cousin's married a Cardi.

-They tell me

-you're very tight, Gwyndaf.

-But the family started to think

-he wasn't so tight...

-..because last month he bought new

-double glazed windows for the house.

-He was hoping the kids wouldn't hear

-the ice cream van any more.

-The Wyt Ti'n Gem? crew

-has been finding out...

-..if the people of Cardigan and

-Carmarthen like a bit of nonsense.

-Have you seen my ostrich?

-I've lost it.

-Have you seen my ostrich anywhere?

-Have you seen my ostrich anywhere?

-

-No.

-Have you tasted an ostrich egg?

-Have you tasted an ostrich egg?

-

-No, never.

-I'm a zoo keeper.

-Where? Oh, he's there! Good grief!

-There he is!

-He's there!

-Behind me? What, now?

-Let's meet my first guest.

-You'd probably walk past him on

-the street without recognizing him.

-But once he opened his mouth

-you'd know exactly who he was.

-He's one of Radio Cymru's

-most familiar voices.

-Please welcome Andrew Tommo Thomas.

-Tommo. Welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-

-Are you originally from Cardigan?

-Yes. I was born in Maesglas,

-the capital of Cardiganshire.

-If you say so.

-You broadcast from Carmarthen.

-I sometimes come in for a chat.

-I always

-find it difficult to park there.

-I'm going to get you back for this.

-Let's see what happened

-when the Wyt Ti'n Gem? crew...

-..turned up at the studio.

-Every afternoon, Tommo broadcasts

-his three-hour radio show...

-..live from

-the BBC's Carmarthen studio.

-Tommo has three loves. His family,

-the Scarlets and his car.

-Today, two members of the Wyt Ti'n

-Gem? crew have come to see Tommo.

-More specifically, his car.

-How will Tommo react

-to a visit from the police?

-That's my car.

-That's my car.

-

-Is this your car, Mr Thomas?

-Yes. I've just been on the radio.

-This car and registration plate

-is part of an ongoing investigation.

-Eh?

-For the past two months,

-someone in Swansea...

-..has stolen sports equipment

-and electrical goods...

-..from car parks in Swansea.

-Honestly?

-Yes. We've got

-a partial registration number.

-Your car

-matches the colour and make...

-..of the car used in these thefts.

-No, you're joking. Honest?

-This is a serious matter.

-This is a serious matter.

-

-Has anyone borrowed the car?

-No.

-No.

-

-Have you spent any time in Swansea?

-No, 100%. On my life.

-Check your car to see if there are

-any signs that it's been used.

-Can you open the boot for me?

-Can you open the boot for me?

-

-Yes. I don't have a key.

-Come over here a moment.

-PC Evans will do

-a preliminary investigation.

-Go and find the keys.

-We'll have to fetch the SOCO,

-the scene-of-crime officer...

-..to take fingerprints from the car.

-Oh, my God!

-Oh, my God!

-

-God can't help you now, Tommo!

-Perhaps your producer Terwyn

-can be of some assistance.

-Hello.

-We've explained that the car has

-been involved in thefts in Swansea.

-Really?

-Really?

-

-I've only been once or twice.

-Is he in trouble?

-Is he in trouble?

-

-Er, Sarge?

-Just a moment. I'll be there now.

-You're not going to arrest him,

-are you?

-I'll have to find another presenter.

-He hasn't been accused yet.

-He presents a show...

-He presents a show...

-

-I know who Mr Thomas is.

-Mam's a big fan.

-Mam's a big fan?

-I'm not as old as I look.

-After we've finished,

-any chance of a selfie?

-So I can show Mam.

-We'd better sort this out.

-We'd better sort this out.

-

-It's a reasonable request.

-What do we have here, then?

-Lap tops, golf clubs.

-Everything that was on the list.

-I've never seen those before.

-I've never seen those before.

-

-Are you sure?

-That's not my stuff. 100%.

-This isn't your stuff?

-This isn't your stuff?

-

-No.

-Do the items match the stolen ones?

-Do the items match the stolen ones?

-

-They're not mine. 100%.

-We'd better take you to the station.

-Oh, my God!

-Will you release the car?

-Will you release the car?

-

-No.

-This is the first time

-I've seen these items.

-I'll have to phone someone

-to cover for you tomorrow.

-He's talking to the boss now.

-Yes. We think we've found the car.

-The problem is the car's owner.

-Have you heard of Tommo? Yes, Tommo.

-Yes, that's him. It's his car.

-Are you sure?

-He wants a word with you.

-Eh? Who is he?

-I'll put him on speakerphone.

-How's it going, Tommo? Glad

-to hear you're not going to jail.

-I set it up

-and I'm glad we caught you out...

-..because it proves you're game.

-See you soon. Bye.

-Oh, my God!

-My legs are shaking! Look!

-Feel my legs. They're shaking.

-Just you wait, Nigel Owens!

-You're going to get it.

-I was stunned

-when I saw the cop car outside.

-I started to question myself.

-I asked myself,

-what have you done, Tommo?

-I was talking to Terwyn

-and he was no help at all.

-Have you been in trouble before?

-Next question, please, Nigel.

-Terwyn, I've heard you're

-the best producer in the world.

-He gives me a hard time.

-That's why I look so rough!

-Your fashion sense is bad

-but you don't look rough!

-That shirt looks like a tablecloth!

-I'd like to thank you

-for helping us catch him out...

-..and also we'd

-like to thank you as a nation...

-..for improving his Welsh!

-We're very proud of him.

-He's still not

-to everyone's taste, but...

-Eh?

-We're not

-filming the prank now, you know!

-You might not be

-to everyone's taste.

-You're certainly not to mine!

-Thank you, Terwyn and all the crew,

-for helping us out.

-Thank you

-for being such a great sport.

-Fair play, you've proved

-that you're game, Tommo.

-Give him a clap.

-Join us after the break to meet this

-week's pillar of the community...

-..who was also

-a familiar voice on Radio Cymru.

-Welcome back to Wyt Ti'n Gem?

-It's time to meet

-this week's pillar of the community.

-He's a famous Carmarthen native

-and a well-known broadcaster.

-He's been entertaining people

-on Stondin Sulwyn for over 30 years.

-You know just who I mean.

-Take a look at this.

-This is Sulwyn Thomas, a familiar

-face and voice throughout Wales.

-Aided by the National Library

-and Chief Poet Tudur Dylan...

-..we've arranged for Sulwyn...

-..to visit

-the Talking Books studio...

-..to record

-some of Wales' most famous poems...

-..as part of a project

-to create a digital archive.

-Among them is a new poem...

-..from one of the 21st century's

-most exciting poets.

-Rhodri Gian, otherwise known

-as Argian (Good grief).

-How will Sulwyn get his teeth around

-this modern classic?

-"Yo, beat never belt never,

-felt better..."

-Oh, my gosh, alright.

-I'll give it a go.

-One, two.

-"Identity, liberation

-"It's black, black, black

-"What's up, up, up?

-"I can't see it as Waldo did

-"It's pitch, pitch black,

-as black as a witch's cape

-"In the dead of night

-nothing's white

-"It's night,

-not even a moon so bright

-"In the dead of night,

-my life's in the bin."

-What did you think of that, Sulwyn?

-Rubbish.

-KNOCK AT DOOR

-Look who's reached the studio

-in the middle of recording.

-I'm Rhodri. Phil told me to come up,

-if that's OK.

-Hello, Sulwyn.

-I'm Rhodri Gian.

-Well, my street name's Argian.

-Sorry, I...

-Sorry, I...

-

-I've just been reading your stuff.

-Great.

-What did you think of the poem?

-Um... well...

-I hope I've been able

-to understand it.

-Can I listen back to you reading it?

-Is that OK?

-Is that OK?

-

-Not really.

-I was in a dark place

-when I wrote it.

-The electricity had been cut off.

-I wanted to combine

-the traditional and the street vibe.

-It's alright, don't you worry.

-We'll be alright.

-Can I listen

-while he reads through it?

-Do I need to wear headphones?

-I don't want to interrupt you.

-I'm very pleased

-with what you're doing, Mr Thomas.

-I just called in briefly.

-I wonder if Sulwyn's reading will be

-street enough for Rhodri Gian?

-It sounds good.

-Sulwyn?

-Sorry to interrupt you.

-Could you do me a massive favour?

-Could you rerecord part of it...

-..and be more street,

-as if you were rapping it.

-Oh, no, I don't think I can do that,

-to be honest with you.

-What exactly do you mean?

-Sorry. Thanks for this.

-"It's black, black, black

-What's up, up, up?

-"I can't see it like Waldo did

-"It's pitch, pitch black

-"As dark as a witch's cape."

-Ah, yes, I see.

-I'm a rapper of sorts, you see.

-If you could, I'd be so happy.

-I could show Mam and Mam-gu then.

-Didn't I do it like that?

-We'll do it again.

-We'll do it again.

-

-I'll try it again.

-"It's black, black, black

-"What's up, up, up?

-"I can't see it like Waldo did

-"It's pitch, pitch black

-"As black as a witch's cape

-"In the dead of night,

-nothing's white

-"Because it's night,

-not even a moon so bright

-"In the dead of night

-my life's in the bin

-"My life's too much,

-I've already lost my mind

-"I've lost my mind

-and I've sobbed and whined

-"You get angry losing the game 2-0

-"Will it, will it? Yes, it will."

-Yes, that's it.

-Yes, that's it.

-

-Is that better?

-Yes, fab. Thank you.

-Yes, fab. Thank you.

-

-Right, OK.

-Sorry, Sulwyn, before I go...

-..I've written a poem...

-..that I'd like to show you.

-I'll get out of your way then.

-I know you're a busy man.

-If you could just take a look.

-Hello, Nigel Owens here.

-Before you came on the show

-I wanted to see if you were game.

-Enjoy your day.

-I knew something was going on here.

-Dear, dear dear!

-I'm caught out every time!

-I've been caught out

-good and proper!

-Please welcome Sulwyn Thomas.

-You little rascal.

-You radio people

-must be very gullible.

-Maybe you're too honest.

-You believe everyone.

-You might be right.

-Tudur Dylan co-ordinated it all.

-Tudur Dylan wrote the poem.

-Yes, I know.

-It's a load of rubbish too.

-This is the bit I like

-from this poem.

-"I don't ask for a luxurious life

-"The world's gold or its fine trash

-"All I ask is to win the lottery

-"Because then I will have

-lots more cash.

-You've made a name for yourself

-in the rap world.

-Take a look at the front cover

-of Rolling Stone magazine.

-Can I keep that?

-Can I keep that?

-

-Yes, you can.

-I'll put it down safely.

-You've played tricks on people

-in your time.

-It was April Fools' Day 1985...

-..and I'd been discussing

-the National Eisteddfod...

-..as it was a current affairs topic.

-It was the sound engineer's idea,

-not mine.

-He'd had enough

-of hearing about the Eisteddfod.

-He said, "I wish they'd

-take it to America, out of the way."

-That's when the idea took hold.

-The Eisteddfod

-would go to America in 1991.

-The Crown

-would be donated by Coca Cola...

-..and the Chair by General Motors.

-None other

-than Ronald Reagan himself...

-..would be President of the Day

-on the Thursday.

-You announced it on the radio?

-You announced it on the radio?

-

-Yes, we announced it at 11.00am.

-By 12.30pm, the phone lines

-in Swansea were red hot.

-There was outrage!

-Merched y Wawr were incensed.

-"It can't go to America. "Merched y

-Wawr's meeting is on the Wednesday.

-"How can

-all its members go out there?!"

-Linda's here tonight. Where are you?

-She still has a job!

-Both you and Sulwyn do a lot of

-good work with Talking Books Wales.

-For those of you who don't know,

-you read books...

-..to the blind and those who have

-difficulty reading printed material.

-Yes, Sulwyn's the chairman and he's

-held that position for many years.

-He works very hard to

-raise money for Talking Books Wales.

-Your wife, Glenys, is here too.

-How are you?

-We all know him best

-for his work on Radio Cymru...

-..but he's done so much

-for the community over the years.

-It's never ending.

-He's worked for Radio Glangwili

-all our married life.

-He fundraises for Children In Need.

-He arranged one of the first major

-gigs for Ethiopia called Bid Bont.

-He's arranged several since then.

-Glangwili Hospital

-is close to our hearts.

-He's raised thousands

-for cardiac care.

-A new unit has been opened

-which has all been financed...

-..through fundraising.

-We're all very grateful to you and

-I'm sure the people of Carmarthen...

-..are grateful

-for the thousands you've raised...

-..and the enjoyment you've given us

-as listeners of Radio Cymru.

-It's an honour for me to present

-you with the Wyt Ti'n Gem? trophy.

-I'll ask Tommo to hand it to you.

-Congratulations.

-You're a deserving recipient.

-As you know, Tommo and Sulwyn

-are two of Wales' most famous DJs.

-They're very used to talking...

-..and playing lots of music...

-..but how closely have they

-been listening over the years?

-It's time to test their musical

-knowledge in our studio challenge.

-How many of you

-remember these characters?

-Smashie and Nicey are comedy

-characters created by Harry Enfield.

-Let me present you

-with Wales' version.

-Tommy Tastic and Sulio Gwyn.

-I'm going to see how well you've

-been listening over the years...

-..as I play you

-the intros to the following songs.

-Tommo to go first.

-I want the artist and song title.
