SHE SCREAMS | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
# The hills are alive... # | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
When I won How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria and | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
sang as Maria in The Sound Of Music in the West End | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
for five years, I often thought of returning to my native Wales | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
to climb every mountain till I find my dream. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
# The hills fill my heart with the sound of music... # | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
And here I am and just look at that view. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:27 | |
This week I'm looking forward to meeting some | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
people from around Wales who've climbed a mountain of their own. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
In more ways than one. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
And do join us in some rousing singing here in The Land Of Song. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
Yes, this week, Songs Of Praise is from beautiful Wales. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
Coming up... A hill shepherd reveals his secret. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
Strange sightings in the mountains. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Rock climbing that's changing lives. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Wonderful hymns from Llandaff Cathedral | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
and musical guests from around Wales. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
Cerys Matthews, Steve Balsamo and Elin Manahan Thomas. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
Some come up by train, others by foot but whatever you do, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
come and experience the wonders of Snowdonia. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
I have got a lot of walking and climbing to do. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
From the Brecon Beacons in the South to the Cambrian Mountains | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
in the West and the Carneddau mountain range in the North. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
Now, perhaps I won't be climbing every mountain | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
but I'll certainly tick off a few. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
Here, in the remote, craggy rocks of Snowdonia, | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
there is a rare species that spends its time jumping amongst the rocks. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
Surely this can't be its natural habitat. I'm off to explore further. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
I have managed to track down and capture this untamed wild creature. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
Matt, what brings you to the hills? | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
Well, actually, I consider this really to be my back garden. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
Because my house is only just around the corner. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
And this is one of the places I come to train | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
as a mountain bike trials rider. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
So, what is mountain bike trials? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
So trials riding is a specific form of mountain biking that | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
involves negotiating your bike over very difficult terrain. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
That might be rocks or walls or even man-made objects, | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
such as skips and cars. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
How long have you been doing this sport? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
I started when I was 16. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 | |
I saw a video of a very famous trials rider called Martyn Ashton | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
and he actually inspired me. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:05 | |
I wanted to do what he did more than anything else. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
It seems quite a risky sport. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
Some might say it's too dangerous for them. Do you think it's so? | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
Actually, my personal view on it is the inverse. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
I feel that trials is very controlled. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
So I never take a leap from boulder to boulder | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
without assessing the different options that might go wrong, | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
trying to rule those out in my mind | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
and controlling every single variable. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Do you say a silent prayer before you do go? I might quote a Psalm. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
The Lord is the stronghold of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
What part does God play in your life and in your sport? | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
In the Bible, it says that when you do something, | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
whatever it may be, work as if you're working for God, not for man. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
And so I often try and think of that in my sport. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
So I try and do this as if this is an expression of worship to God. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
It's one way in which I can use my God-given talents. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
Is this your paradise then? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
On a day like this, it's quite hard to beat, isn't it? | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
Down by the lakes, up here in the mountains. It's really wonderful. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
And it always makes me think, there's a verse in Romans that says, | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
God's invisible qualities and his eternal power | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
and his divine nature are revealed to us in creation. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
And I can't help but just thinking that when I'm out here. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
# Life is easy | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
# When you're up on the mountain | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
# You've got peace of mind | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
# Like you've never known | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
# But then things change | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
# And you're down in the valley | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
# Oh, don't lose faith | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
# For you're never alone | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
# For the God on the mountain | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
# Is the God in the valley | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
# When things go wrong | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
# He'll make it right | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
# And the God of the good times | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
# Is the God in the bad times | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
# The God of the day | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
# Is the God in the night | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
# You talk of faith | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
# When you're up on the mountain | 0:08:13 | 0:08:19 | |
# All of the talk comes easy | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
# When life's at its best | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
# But it's down in the valley | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
# Of trials and temptations | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
# That's when faith | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
# Is really put to the test | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
# Oh-h-h-h | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
# For the God on the mountain | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
# Is the God in the valley | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
# When things go wrong | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
# He'll make it right | 0:09:13 | 0:09:19 | |
# And the God of the good times | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
# Is the God in the bad times | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
# The God of the day | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
# Is the God in the night. # | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
High on the slopes of Cader Idris mountain, | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
the Chair of Idris the Giant, according to folklore, | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
is the Nunnery of the Carmelites, | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
an order founded by the Lady of Mount Carmel. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
It seems that mountains are important to them also. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
Hello, Sister. Hello. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
Connie, come and pick a branch. You pick that one there. Oh, wow. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
What am I picking? The red ones. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
Just the red ones. So they are...? | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
They're redcurrants. Redcurrants. Ooo! Yes. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:31 | |
Do you think if I was to join as a Carmelite nun... | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
It would be lovely, wouldn't it? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
What would I miss the most, do you think? | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
We do miss the fact that we won't have children. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
I mean, when our families, sisters and that have a child, | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
I mean, it does tug on you, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
but this is what God wants | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
and I know I can help more people this way. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
I'd have got married and had half a dozen children, | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
but the Lord said no, there's something better. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
Sister Ruth, you're the mother prioress at Carmelite Monastery. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
What a beautiful setting. Stunning, isn't it? | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
Well, it's very inspiring because everything reminds you of God. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
It's like a projection of God's glory, isn't it? | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
And so it's bound to draw you deeper into the Lord. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
INDISTINCT PRAYER | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
So, Sisters, you're busy in the kitchen. What are you preparing for? | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
Well, the sisters will be going into the chapel | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
just before midday to say a prayer. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
And, obviously, they need to eat, so a sister has to cook the meal. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
So, today, we're having tuna and rice with courgettes, | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
which Sister Bernadette has prepared mostly. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
It's a great joy to cook for the sisters. And, um... | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
I've not poisoned anybody yet. So... Fingers crossed. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
Keep our fingers crossed. Not today. Not today, yeah. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
Sister Bernadette, | 0:12:08 | 0:12:09 | |
how did you come to be a part of the Carmelite community? | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
I am from Lithuania and I came in prayer. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:17 | |
Because Carmelite is based on prayer and contemplation | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
and that is my part, my life. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
BELL PEALS | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
And I shall put the vegetables on. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
So that's mine, is it? | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
A doggy bag. LAUGHTER | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
Thank you. OK. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
BELL RINGS | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
To spend a day with the Carmelite nuns, | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
to witness their commitment to God, praying seven times a day, | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
cutting themselves off from their friends and their family, | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
something perhaps I couldn't consider doing, | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
but a great privilege. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
The Welsh Highland Railway here in Beddgelert | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
is possibly one of the most scenic railway journeys in Britain. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
And its 25-mile track from Caernarfon to Porthmadog | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
really is breathtaking. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
The railway is reportedly the oldest in the country | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
and it's been lovingly restored by an army of local volunteers | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
and enthusiasts. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
I've come to meet Richard Buxton, | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
a retired clergyman that now loves to help out on the trains. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Richard, tell me about the railway. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
Well, this is part of the Ffestiniog Welsh Highland railway system | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
that runs all the way from Blaenau Ffestiniog | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
via Porthmadog, Beddgelert to Caernarfon. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
It's a stunning route, isn't it? | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
Well, this route runs through some of the finest scenery in the world. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
And a great way for you as a clergyman to enjoy God's creations. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
Absolutely so. You see both the very best of God's creation here | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
and, of course, you see the way that human beings interact with it | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
in a way that is harmonious and good and uses it properly. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:48 | |
And this is one of the most important things | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
that we as human beings have to realise. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
We have to use creation properly. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
TRAIN WHISTLE | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
The mountains and valleys at the foot of the Brecon Beacons | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
in South Wales are world-famous for their rich coal seams. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
The coal from this colliery in Treharris was the deepest in Wales | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
and it supplied coal for transatlantic ocean liners. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
Since the early '90s, the coal, the colliery | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
and its employment has all but gone. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
But here in the valley, the community is fighting back. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
Whoo! | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
What a day for it! It's incredible! Ah, I know. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
Do you know, this is my first ever mountain | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
of the Brecon Beacons that I've climbed. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
And you're at the top and look at the view! | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
And a readymade seat. Oh! | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
Amazing! So, what have we got here? | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
Well, we're on the top of Corn Ddu. You've just come up the rock step. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
And then behind us, we've got Pen y Fan and Cribyn | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
and then, right over there, you can see the Bristol Channel and the sea. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
So you don't get a view much better than this. It's breathtaking. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:03 | |
This is your natural environment. Do you feel at home here? | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
Yeah. This really is home, actually. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
I love being in the mountains. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:10 | |
I'm part of a mountaineering club | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
and we spend a lot of time climbing or walking in the hills. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
I also run a Christian outdoor centre half an hour down the road. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
And we bring children up into the mountains. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
We take them climbing, we take them canoeing. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
And I just love bringing children up and showing them this creation. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
So, what drew you to the summit centre? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
So we took over running the summit centre three years ago. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
And it's a business that's failed a number of times, | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
but it was built on an old drift mine to really regenerate an area. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:41 | |
It's got the most amazing indoor climbing centre, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
it's got some residential areas. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
And we took it on wanting somewhere where we could take young people | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
in South Wales and just give them an experience of God's creation. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
How would you describe your relationship with God? | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
Well, what a question! | 0:19:59 | 0:20:00 | |
I just love Jesus and everything he's done for me. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
There's times where, when you're climbing and you can be scared, | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
you've got to cling onto that rock | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
or you just sit in a corner in that rock | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
and you're almost in the cleft of that rock. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
And I feel that sometimes, when you're praying, | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
you've almost got to hide in God's presence to get through, | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
to cherish being with him. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
And so being on a rock face, you're so much closer to God | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
and you know God's present with you. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
No programme from Wales would be complete | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
without a hymn sung in Welsh. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:36 | |
Here's Cerys Matthews' unique rendition of Arglwydd Dyma Fi. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:41 | |
I Hear Thy Welcome Voice. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:42 | |
By now, my journey has taken me | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
to the Cambrian mountain range in West Wales | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
and the small rural village of Ponterwyd. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
When I grew up on a farm not too farm from here, | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
high on a hill was not a lonely goatherd, but a solitary shepherd. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
And I took every opportunity to pretend to be one. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
Yes, that's me. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:13 | |
Well, I've come to meet an extraordinary man | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
who's quite possibly one of the last remaining shepherds in Wales. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
His story of how he's had to climb every mountain in his personal life | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
whilst working on this uncompromising terrain | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
is truly inspirational. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
I'm about to meet up with him in one of the most hectic periods | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
of the farming calendar, shearing season. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
H-H-Help. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
BLEATING | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
Erwyd, what do you love about your job? | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
Well, it's the change of scenery. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
My work takes me from Ynyslas by the sea, | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
right over Pumlumon to Elan Valley. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
And nobody can wish for more. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
Now, you live next to the chapel. How many years have you lived there? | 0:23:58 | 0:24:02 | |
About 38 years, I think. 38 years. Wow! | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
You must have heard a few sermons. Any good ones? | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
Well, sermons to me are something | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
that I have something to think about the next day. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
Whilst you're tending your flocks. That's right, yeah. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
So, what is the art of shepherding? | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
Shepherding is synonymous with caring. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
You know, it's part of life. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
It's a wonderful part of life. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
Pull it flat against the skin. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
And just keeping pushing? | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
Yes, yes. Down. Wow! | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
It must be a bit tickly. Yes, that's right. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
I think she's getting a bit impatient with me. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
Try it once more on there. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
Wow! Bye-bye, sheep. Bye-bye, sheep. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
The sheep's still alive and it's got quite an odd haircut. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
Ridges. We'll call it Ridges. It's all the rage! | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
Ridgy sheep, all the rage. There we are. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
Shall I put it back on it? Do you want it back? | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
I can give it back. You can be normal again. You can have it back. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
I'll glue it on. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
Well, this is a proper Welsh chapel, isn't it? I'd imagine so. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
It's been here since 1852. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:25 | |
Erwyd also looks after the chapel | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
and the wider flock of the local community. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
At a young age, he learnt how to deal with the hardship of loss | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
from his own personal experiences. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
Have you had to climb any mountains in your personal life? Well, yes. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:44 | |
There was one, I found it very difficult to surmount, | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
was the fact that 31 years ago, my wife, Mari, passed away aged 28. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:54 | |
And, um...I had two children at the time aged three and four. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:59 | |
And, um...friends and family were absolutely instrumental | 0:25:59 | 0:26:04 | |
in helping me to bring up the children. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
And now, thankfully, I have grandchildren | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
and that fills a big void. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
And I always try to help everybody and when I was in trouble, | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |
everybody helped me, | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
which is the way I think life should be. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
ERWYD WHISTLES | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
Come by. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:26 | |
Well, I can't meet anyone with a talent and not have a go myself. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
So we'll see how the dogs respond. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
CONNIE WHISTLES | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
Any good? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
He looked away, didn't he? He wasn't too impressed. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
All right. Go on, teach me. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
Now, then, are you fully insured? I think so. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
Can I borrow two of your fingers? | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
All right, OK. You can have these two. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
They're really clean, I promise. Right. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
ERWYD WHISTLES A TUNE | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
CONNIE LAUGHS That was supposed to be Llwyn Onn. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
That was brilliant! | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
Well, I think I'll keep practising. Yes, indeed. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
