-Something remarkable is to happen

-in an old people's day centre.

0:00:000:00:04

-In a unique experiment...

0:00:050:00:07

-..pensioners will share day care

-with six young children.

0:00:070:00:11

-We have some company.

0:00:120:00:13

-We have some company.

-

-You're one in a million.

0:00:130:00:16

-Over three days, psychologists

-from Bangor University...

0:00:160:00:20

-..aim to prove that a new form

-of care can benefit young and old.

0:00:200:00:25

-With cameras across the day centre,

-a series of activities are planned.

0:00:250:00:30

-They've all been carefully planned.

0:00:340:00:36

-The aim is to show the pensioners

-that they have something to offer...

0:00:410:00:46

-..and that the children

-can benefit from their company.

0:00:460:00:49

-Well done, boy.

0:00:510:00:52

-Three days.

-Two generations. One experience.

0:00:530:00:57

-Will sharing day-care

-be as easy as 1, 2, 3?

0:00:580:01:01

-Twice a child.

0:01:040:01:06

-This is the Hen Blant Bach

-experiment.

0:01:070:01:10

-Every week, at the Maesincla

-Day Centre in Caernarfon...

0:01:190:01:23

-..19 pensioners meet

-to use the care facilities.

0:01:230:01:27

-They come because they're lonely.

0:01:270:01:30

-Often, they go home on Friday

-and don't see anyone until Monday.

0:01:300:01:34

-This helps them remain

-in their homes for longer.

0:01:350:01:39

-There's no need for them

-to move into a nursing home.

0:01:390:01:43

-Gladys wants to do her hair.

0:01:430:01:44

-Gladys wants to do her hair.

-

-Tell her that Dot says hello.

0:01:440:01:47

-Dot says hello to you.

0:01:470:01:50

-Hello!

0:01:500:01:51

-Hello!

-

-Hiya, Gladys.

0:01:510:01:53

-Everyone here attends the day centre

-because they still live at home.

0:01:530:01:59

-When that becomes difficult,

-they move to a nursing home.

0:01:590:02:03

-Today, it's Ken's turn.

0:02:030:02:05

-Glyn, it's his last day.

0:02:060:02:09

-It's his last day. He's off.

0:02:100:02:13

-I was just telling him

-that you're leaving us today.

0:02:140:02:17

-Did you sign Ken's card?

0:02:170:02:20

-No.

0:02:200:02:22

-I'll find it.

0:02:220:02:23

-They tend to sit

-in the same seat every time.

0:02:270:02:31

-In the middle, watching events,

-are best friends, Morfudd and Vera.

0:02:310:02:37

-I lost 3lbs again last week.

0:02:370:02:40

-I lost 3lbs again last week.

-

-That's good.

0:02:400:02:42

-No, I'm not dieting.

0:02:420:02:44

-My watch is loose around my wrist.

0:02:440:02:47

-The worst thing about getting old...

0:02:490:02:52

-..everyone around you thinks

-they have to keep an eye on you...

0:02:530:02:57

-..because you're old.

0:02:570:02:58

-But my mind is OK.

0:02:590:03:02

-I can still think for myself.

0:03:020:03:05

-Catrin Hedd Jones is a psychologist

-from Bangor University.

0:03:060:03:09

-She works with the elderly.

0:03:100:03:11

-She chooses who will benefit

-the most.

0:03:120:03:15

-Looking at the individuals

-at the centre...

0:03:170:03:20

-..they almost seem to be sitting

-waiting for something.

0:03:200:03:24

-Nothing ever comes.

0:03:240:03:26

-We hope the relationship

-they build with the children...

0:03:260:03:30

-..will enrich their lives.

0:03:300:03:32

-Some are used to looking

-after children.

0:03:320:03:36

-Some aren't.

0:03:360:03:38

-Staff are worried

-how children will respond...

0:03:390:03:41

-..to the elderly

-who've had illnesses.

0:03:420:03:44

-84-year-old Glyn had a stroke

-15 years ago.

0:03:440:03:48

-He struggles to speak

-and communicate.

0:03:480:03:51

-Glyn's not an easy individual.

0:03:570:04:00

-As they say, twice a child.

0:04:000:04:03

-It's true.

0:04:030:04:05

-You're dealing with people but with

-him, it's like dealing with a child.

0:04:050:04:09

-But with children, you can put them

-in the naughty corner or step.

0:04:100:04:13

-You can't do that with adults.

0:04:140:04:16

-The pensioners have finished

-their morning cuppa.

0:04:160:04:20

-It's time for Day 1

-of the experiment to begin.

0:04:200:04:24

-Six children from a local nursery

-have arrived at the day centre.

0:04:240:04:29

-They're here.

0:04:290:04:31

-This is their first visit.

0:04:330:04:36

-They were carefully selected

-by Nia Williams...

0:04:360:04:40

-..a child psychologist

-from Bangor University.

0:04:410:04:43

-We have a mixture of personalities.

0:04:440:04:46

-Some are very confident...

0:04:470:04:50

-..but others are very shy and quiet.

0:04:510:04:54

-All the children wear a microphone.

0:04:560:04:58

-Cameras film in every corner

-of the room.

0:04:590:05:01

-The psychologists

-can see and hear everything.

0:05:020:05:06

-Let's send them in.

0:05:060:05:07

-Goodness me.

0:05:080:05:10

-We have company today.

0:05:100:05:13

-They're beautiful.

0:05:130:05:15

-We've brought some children

-to see you.

0:05:150:05:18

-Hello!

0:05:190:05:20

-They're wondering

-what they're doing here.

0:05:230:05:27

-When the doors opened and they

-came in, I was over the moon.

0:05:280:05:32

-I only have one granddaughter.

0:05:330:05:34

-I do like children.

-I'd have liked to have more.

0:05:350:05:38

-I enjoy being in their company.

0:05:380:05:41

-Are you tired?

0:05:460:05:48

-What?

0:05:480:05:49

-Come here.

0:05:500:05:52

-No!

0:05:520:05:53

-During the early stages...

0:05:560:05:58

-..the psychologists look

-for the strongest personalities.

0:05:580:06:02

-Can you sing?

0:06:030:06:05

-I can sing.

0:06:050:06:07

-First on her feet is the oldest

-child - three-year-old Molly.

0:06:070:06:13

-# Two little dogs go to the woods

0:06:130:06:17

-# A new shoe on each foot

0:06:180:06:21

-# Two little dogs

-come home from the woods

0:06:220:06:25

-# Having lost one of their shoes

0:06:250:06:30

-# Two little dogs #

0:06:300:06:32

-Molly's so confident.

0:06:350:06:37

-She is, and brave...

0:06:380:06:40

-..to sing right away when she

-meets them for the first time.

0:06:400:06:45

-Unexpectedly,

-Glyn is the next one to interact.

0:06:450:06:49

-Excuse me...

0:06:490:06:51

-..do any of you speak Welsh...

0:06:520:06:56

-No, English?

0:06:560:06:58

-Yes. Leon does.

0:06:580:07:01

-It's interesting to watch Glyn.

0:07:080:07:10

-Because of the stroke

-he had 15 years ago...

0:07:100:07:13

-..he struggles to speak.

0:07:130:07:15

-He communicates

-without using many words.

0:07:160:07:20

-Leon understands

-but doesn't speak Welsh.

0:07:200:07:23

-He's happy to join Ken and Glyn.

0:07:230:07:25

-Are you enjoying yourself today?

0:07:260:07:28

-Are you enjoying yourself today?

-

-Yeah.

0:07:280:07:29

-I didn't expect this this morning.

0:07:290:07:32

-Nice to talk to you this morning.

0:07:330:07:36

-That's so nice. They don't know each

-other and they're holding hands.

0:07:370:07:44

-It's lovely to see.

0:07:440:07:46

-It's lovely to see.

-

-It's nice of you to come and see me.

0:07:460:07:49

-Thank you very much.

0:07:490:07:51

-Yay!

0:07:520:07:54

-Thanks to the children,

-Glyn is ready to talk a little more.

0:07:560:08:01

-To help integrate

-the rest of the group...

0:08:020:08:04

-..the psychologists have organised

-a series of activities.

0:08:040:08:08

-We begin with an activity that

-doesn't rely too much on language.

0:08:080:08:13

-The first activity

-is an ice-breaker.

0:08:140:08:17

-We hope to see them start

-communicating and interacting.

0:08:170:08:22

-This will be different.

0:08:230:08:25

-This will be different.

-

-Excitement.

0:08:250:08:26

-I don't know.

0:08:300:08:32

-Goodness me.

0:08:340:08:35

-Vera's understood.

0:08:360:08:38

-They're all going to Glyn.

0:08:470:08:49

-They're all going to Glyn.

-

-Yes, yes.

0:08:490:08:50

-What makes Glyn stand out

-from the children's perspective...

0:08:540:08:58

-..is his use of facial expressions.

0:08:590:09:01

-He's more playful.

0:09:020:09:03

-He struggles to speak but

-the children aren't aware of that.

0:09:030:09:07

-They don't judge that.

0:09:080:09:09

-Ela.

0:09:100:09:10

-Ela.

-

-Elen?

0:09:100:09:11

-No!

0:09:120:09:14

-Elen?

0:09:140:09:16

-No! Elan.

0:09:160:09:18

-Where are they?

0:09:180:09:20

-Where are they?

-

-Bring them here to talk to us.

0:09:200:09:22

-Blow at them and they'll come here.

0:09:270:09:30

-They like playing with water.

0:09:300:09:32

-Vera and Morfudd can't wait

-to get the children over to them.

0:09:330:09:37

-Look. Do you want me to help you?

0:09:370:09:39

-Do you want me to help you?

0:09:400:09:42

-I want Mam.

0:09:420:09:43

-They're alright, they're well

-looked after, but Mam's not here.

0:09:440:09:50

-Catch them.

0:09:520:09:53

-Vera loves children.

0:09:530:09:56

-Seeing Cara asking for her mother

-pulls at her heart.

0:09:560:10:00

-We see a change in the generation.

0:10:010:10:04

-It's not an experience

-that Vera's seen before.

0:10:050:10:09

-Come here to see the bubbles.

0:10:090:10:12

-Come here, you're one in a million.

0:10:120:10:15

-Blow.

0:10:190:10:21

-You made some bubbles.

0:10:230:10:25

-And again.

0:10:260:10:27

-It's a shame to see women going out

-to work and leaving their children.

0:10:270:10:31

-It was nice coming home from school

-to Mam.

0:10:320:10:35

-I was born in Bryn Adda

-on the Faenol Estate.

0:10:430:10:47

-A lot of children from the village

-would come and visit us.

0:10:470:10:51

-Mam would cook a dish full of chips

-for us and we'd eat them happily.

0:10:520:10:57

-We'd tried for children

-for four years without any luck.

0:10:580:11:02

-I decided to go and speak

-to the doctor one day.

0:11:020:11:06

-I told him, "If I knew

-I couldn't have children...

0:11:070:11:11

-"..I would never have got married."

0:11:120:11:16

-Within a year, Eirian was born.

0:11:160:11:19

-I was over the moon.

0:11:190:11:21

-I really was.

0:11:230:11:26

-Stay there.

0:11:280:11:30

-As we get older and do less...

0:11:300:11:33

-..after being used

-to doing everything in our lives...

0:11:330:11:36

-..we feel like we're

-a blinkin' nuisance.

0:11:370:11:40

-That's how we feel.

0:11:400:11:42

-You don't want to be a burden

-on your children, you really don't.

0:11:430:11:47

-Are you ready?

0:11:470:11:49

-Are you ready?

-

-You're OK there.

0:11:490:11:50

-That was good.

0:11:540:11:56

-Again, again.

0:12:050:12:07

-It's lunchtime.

0:12:080:12:09

-Three-year-old Elan sits with Vera.

0:12:100:12:12

-Leon eats with Morfudd.

0:12:120:12:16

-A little girl sat with me for lunch.

0:12:190:12:22

-We became good friends.

0:12:220:12:24

-She was a good girl.

0:12:240:12:26

-It was great to see her

-eating so well.

0:12:260:12:29

-It took me back.

0:12:290:12:32

-I wish she lived next-door to me.

0:12:320:12:35

-I'm looking forward

-to seeing the big boy eating now.

0:12:460:12:50

-This is so special.

0:12:520:12:53

-Morfudd and Vera having the

-opportunity to feed the children.

0:12:530:12:57

-It's natural -

-it's a mother's instinct.

0:12:580:13:01

-They haven't had the chance

-for years.

0:13:010:13:04

-The experience I had

-at lunchtime today...

0:13:070:13:11

-..took me back to a time

-when my children were little.

0:13:110:13:16

-My eldest is 68.

0:13:160:13:19

-You can work out

-how many years it's been.

0:13:200:13:23

-He must come from a very good home.

0:13:240:13:26

-"Thank you very much," he said.

0:13:270:13:29

-"Have you had enough now?"

-I asked him.

0:13:300:13:33

-"Not yet," he said.

0:13:330:13:35

-He's better than me,

-he's cleared his plate.

0:13:360:13:39

-After lunch, time to relax and play.

0:13:400:13:43

-The ladies love Cai

-who enjoys dressing up as a farmer.

0:13:430:13:48

-Look at him in his boiler suit.

-Lovely, lovely.

0:13:480:13:52

-Come here. Let's see you.

0:13:540:13:56

-That's a fish.

0:13:590:14:01

-That's a fish.

-

-No, a cat.

0:14:010:14:03

-No, a fish.

0:14:030:14:06

-Let's try again.

0:14:080:14:10

-# Two little dogs go to the woods

0:14:100:14:15

-Three-year-old Leon practises

-his Welsh on Morfudd's lap.

0:14:160:14:20

-# Two little dogs #

0:14:210:14:24

-Well done, boy.

0:14:240:14:26

-That's interesting

-because Leon can't speak Welsh yet.

0:14:270:14:31

-This is the first time

-I've heard him speak Welsh...

0:14:310:14:35

-..by singing with Morfudd.

0:14:350:14:37

-Thank you.

0:14:410:14:43

-They've given Mair a little cup.

0:14:430:14:46

-Some, like Mair, aren't as

-comfortable with the children.

0:14:460:14:51

-The psychologists aim to change that

-on the children's second visit...

0:14:510:14:56

-..for the Hen Blant Bach experiment.

-Day 2.

0:15:140:15:15

-They've asked

-what we're up to today.

0:15:150:15:18

-They can't wait to see the children

-but don't know what will happen.

0:15:190:15:23

-It's exciting.

0:15:240:15:25

-You're the same,

-looking for the obituaries.

0:15:250:15:30

-For three days, these pensioners

-at the Maesincla day centre...

0:15:320:15:37

-..share their day care with

-youngsters from a local nursery.

0:15:370:15:42

-Watching and listening

-to this unique experiment...

0:15:420:15:46

-..are psychologists

-from Bangor University.

0:15:460:15:50

-They believe both groups

-can benefit.

0:15:500:15:52

-Before the children arrive,

-the pensioners read their papers.

0:15:560:16:00

-Wil is 84 years old.

0:16:010:16:03

-I'd rather read stories like this.

-This one was killed, yeah?

0:16:040:16:09

-It says transgender - what's that?

0:16:090:16:12

-Transgender - she used to be a man.

0:16:130:16:15

-Transgender - she used to be a man.

-

-Really?

0:16:150:16:16

-You're wearing a skirt today.

0:16:230:16:25

-Yes, it's a change.

0:16:250:16:27

-On the second day, the pensioners

-will work closely with the children.

0:16:280:16:34

-The psychologists

-have organised a surprise.

0:16:340:16:37

-There are three areas

-in the day centre.

0:16:380:16:43

-The canteen, the sitting room

-and an activity room.

0:16:430:16:47

-It's been neglected recently.

0:16:480:16:52

-We've transformed the room and now

-it's ready for both generations.

0:16:520:16:58

-Look at the dolls.

0:17:050:17:06

-Look!

0:17:070:17:08

-The psychologists

-want to pair the individuals...

0:17:110:17:15

-..to nurture relationships

-between the generations.

0:17:150:17:19

-Catrin works with the elderly

-while Nia is a child psychologist.

0:17:200:17:25

-For the next activity,

-we want the quiet ones to interact.

0:17:250:17:30

-I'd like to give Mair

-an opportunity.

0:17:300:17:33

-She's been quite shy so far.

0:17:330:17:36

-She hasn't had a chance

-in the sitting room.

0:17:360:17:39

-What if we paired Elan with Mair?

0:17:390:17:43

-Elan's quite confident

-but not over-confident.

0:17:440:17:48

-That would be interesting to see.

0:17:480:17:51

-Let's pair them up.

0:17:510:17:53

-Elan are Mair are tasked

-with decorating a cake.

0:17:540:17:58

-At the other end of the table

-are Vera and Cai...

0:17:580:18:01

-..and Morfudd and Cara.

0:18:010:18:03

-Here's Elan.

0:18:040:18:06

-Elan, yes.

0:18:060:18:08

-Here's Mair.

0:18:080:18:09

-Here's Mair.

-

-She has lovely hair. She's pretty.

0:18:090:18:12

-Let's turn the tray this way.

0:18:120:18:15

-Morfudd and Vera

-are completely relaxed.

0:18:150:18:18

-Mair doesn't seem so contented.

0:18:190:18:22

-She's not opening up.

0:18:230:18:25

-That's right.

0:18:250:18:27

-What are you doing?

0:18:280:18:30

-A cake.

0:18:300:18:32

-Are you going to decorate them

-with Smarties?

0:18:330:18:36

-It takes time

-to get to know someone like Mair.

0:18:360:18:39

-After a while,

-she'll open herself up to you...

0:18:400:18:43

-..but it takes time with her.

0:18:440:18:46

-Auntie Mair would enjoy

-helping you, wouldn't she?

0:18:460:18:50

-She can put one of them on the cake.

0:18:510:18:54

-Watching Mair and Elan

-wasn't as comfortable.

0:18:560:18:59

-We intentionally paired Mair

-to work one-on-one with a child...

0:18:590:19:06

-..where she didn't compete

-for attention.

0:19:060:19:09

-She kept looking at her watch,

-her posture was closed.

0:19:090:19:15

-She wasn't very sure what to do.

0:19:160:19:18

-I think Mair needs more support.

0:19:190:19:21

-I don't want another one, thank you.

-I'm saving myself for my lunch.

0:19:230:19:27

-Wil hasn't taken part

-in the activities so far.

0:19:280:19:34

-The psychologists hope

-that Leon can change that.

0:19:350:19:38

-Wil has been quiet so far.

0:19:400:19:42

-We know that both like animals.

0:19:420:19:47

-We've asked them to bring photos

-of their favourite animals.

0:19:470:19:52

-We hope this can be a starting point

-for their conversation.

0:19:530:19:58

-He just died.

0:20:020:20:04

-He died last week.

0:20:050:20:06

-Your dog has died as well.

0:20:080:20:10

-Your dog has died as well.

-

-Yes, he went up to the sky.

0:20:100:20:14

-He's gone with the angels.

0:20:140:20:16

-Do you know what his name is? Benji.

0:20:170:20:19

-Benji his name was.

0:20:210:20:22

-I'd had him for 15 years.

0:20:230:20:24

-They wanted twenty pound for him.

0:20:250:20:27

-In Upper Sgubor Goch,

-not lower Sgubor Goch.

0:20:270:20:29

-I woke up one morning

-and he would usually run to me.

0:20:300:20:33

-This one morning,

-around 7.00am, he didn't.

0:20:340:20:37

-He was lying there, looking at me.

0:20:370:20:40

-The vet said

-it would be best to put him down.

0:20:400:20:44

-My daughter bought a headstone from

-Inigo Jones with his name on it.

0:20:460:20:49

-I say hello to him every day.

0:20:500:20:52

-Every day.

0:20:520:20:54

-What's that?

0:20:560:20:58

-What's that?

-

-Cat.

0:20:580:20:59

-And that's a cat.

0:20:590:21:01

-The animal theme

-has brought them closer together.

0:21:030:21:07

-Both have lost a dog,

-which is so sad...

0:21:080:21:11

-..they can both empathise

-with the experience...

0:21:110:21:15

-..by just showing a photo - the

-photo is a great way to communicate.

0:21:150:21:21

-It's the lads' turn

-to decorate cakes.

0:21:210:21:24

-Three-year-old Caleb is one

-of the more mischievous children.

0:21:240:21:28

-It's a challenge for Glyn who

-struggles to talk after his stroke.

0:21:290:21:35

-How will Glyn lead this task

-without strong language skills?

0:21:350:21:40

-How will Caleb respond?

-Will he sit still?

0:21:400:21:43

-Will he leave the table

-and run around?

0:21:430:21:46

-Hey!

0:21:490:21:51

-Caleb and Glyn

-are the mischievous couple.

0:21:530:21:56

-I'm glad they're together -

-it was a good decision.

0:21:560:22:00

-Hot.

0:22:030:22:04

-Hot.

-

-Hot?

0:22:040:22:05

-This has cooked.

0:22:050:22:08

-The bowl is hot?

0:22:100:22:12

-Yes, it's hot.

0:22:130:22:14

-In these bits.

0:22:160:22:18

-I don't think Wil

-has ever picked up a wooden spoon.

0:22:190:22:23

-It says a lot

-about how men's lives used to be.

0:22:240:22:28

-Women were in the kitchen, not men.

0:22:280:22:31

-It's not like that in our house!

0:22:310:22:33

-Hey!

0:22:370:22:39

-Hey!

-

-OK.

0:22:390:22:40

-Don't tell Mam. Hush!

0:22:430:22:45

-Do you want me to help?

0:22:520:22:54

-No.

0:22:550:22:56

-No? OK.

0:22:560:22:57

-Interesting.

0:22:580:22:59

-They were offered help...

0:22:590:23:01

-..but Glyn wants this time

-for himself and Caleb.

0:23:020:23:06

-He was very resolute.

0:23:060:23:08

-He's evidently enjoying himself.

0:23:080:23:11

-Can you manage?

0:23:110:23:13

-Yes.

0:23:130:23:15

-It's interesting

-watching Glyn and Caleb.

0:23:150:23:18

-They're having fun, but when Caleb

-takes things too far...

0:23:180:23:23

-..Glyn shows Caleb

-that he's in charge.

0:23:240:23:26

-Don't eat it. In there.

0:23:300:23:33

-Glyn's speaking clearly.

0:23:330:23:36

-I don't think the staff

-hear this that often.

0:23:360:23:40

-This could be because Glyn

-is relaxed...

0:23:400:23:43

-..and feels a sense

-of responsibility to speak clearly.

0:23:430:23:47

-GLYN SNORES

0:23:470:23:49

-Stop it!

0:23:490:23:51

-He's spoken more...

0:23:510:23:53

-..not just the words he used before

-but new words.

0:23:530:23:57

-Words he didn't use before.

0:23:570:23:59

-Hello, hello.

0:23:590:24:01

-Glyn's spoken to the children...

0:24:020:24:04

-..and he's speaking

-more clearly than he usually does.

0:24:040:24:08

-The difference we've seen in him...

0:24:090:24:11

-..as staff,

-we've enjoyed seeing that change.

0:24:110:24:14

-Do you want a drink?

0:24:150:24:16

-It's improved Glyn's confidence.

0:24:160:24:19

-He needs more experiences like this.

0:24:200:24:22

-Hey, eat it.

0:24:220:24:24

-He's a good boy.

0:24:390:24:40

-The little children are drawing

-the best out of the elderly.

0:24:450:24:48

-The elderly are using

-their old skills...

0:24:480:24:51

-..to help care for the youngsters.

0:24:520:24:54

-This afternoon, the psychologists

-want to see what happens...

0:24:540:24:58

-..when a stranger joins them.

0:24:590:25:01

-The chair went back with me.

0:25:180:25:21

-Did you see that one

-winning 10,000 yesterday?

0:25:220:25:26

-On The Chase.

0:25:270:25:29

-On The Chase.

-

-I don't watch it.

0:25:290:25:30

-Lucky, eh?

0:25:310:25:33

-That doctor on Tipping Point...

0:25:340:25:37

-..won 4,500.

0:25:370:25:39

-What would I do

-if I had that much money?

0:25:390:25:43

-I don't know.

0:25:430:25:44

-What would I do?

0:25:440:25:47

-We're at the halfway point.

-So much has changed thus far.

0:25:470:25:53

-Today, we're introducing

-a stranger into the situation.

0:25:530:25:56

-How will that affect

-the group dynamic?

0:25:560:25:59

-This morning,

-we paired the children one-to-one.

0:25:590:26:04

-The next activity

-is a music activity.

0:26:040:26:07

-We'll see how they respond to that.

0:26:070:26:10

-# Hello, hello

0:26:100:26:13

-# Hello

0:26:140:26:17

-# To the children #

0:26:170:26:20

-We've invited Manon Llwyd here,

-she's a professional musician.

0:26:210:26:25

-We want to see how this works...

0:26:250:26:27

-..with the children and elderly

-in the same room.

0:26:280:26:31

-Let me sing a song.

0:26:340:26:36

-Jac y do!

0:26:360:26:38

-# I saw a jack...

0:26:380:26:42

-# Daw

0:26:430:26:44

-# Sitting on the...

0:26:460:26:49

-# Roof

0:26:490:26:50

-# A white hat on its head

0:26:510:26:54

-# It had two wooden legs

0:26:540:26:57

-# Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho #

0:26:580:27:02

-Does it work

-if the children are on the floor?

0:27:020:27:05

-The adults are sitting back.

0:27:050:27:07

-It's like watching a concert.

0:27:080:27:10

-They're not part of it.

0:27:110:27:13

-Not as you'd expected.

-I don't know. We'll see how it goes.

0:27:130:27:17

-There's an unexpected twist

-as Mair is drawn into the session.

0:27:210:27:25

-# All through the night #

0:27:250:27:33

-Mair doesn't have any children.

0:27:370:27:39

-She hasn't participated fully

-in the activities.

0:27:390:27:43

-# All through the night #

0:27:440:27:46

-My name's Mair Wyn Jones.

0:27:490:27:51

-I'm 88.

0:27:520:27:55

-I was born in Penygroes.

0:27:550:27:57

-Unfortunately, my mother died

-a fortnight after I was born.

0:27:580:28:04

-I moved to live with the family

-in Groeslon.

0:28:040:28:08

-Unfortunately,

-we never had children...

0:28:100:28:12

-..even though Bob and I

-were very fond of them.

0:28:120:28:15

-Some people could be very nasty.

0:28:160:28:20

-As if you could help

-not having any children.

0:28:200:28:23

-I had problems with my hands

-and my arms.

0:28:250:28:29

-I had operations on my arms

-in Gobowen.

0:28:290:28:34

-While I was in Gobowen,

-Bob died alone in this house.

0:28:360:28:40

-It was a huge shock.

0:28:410:28:43

-I don't remember the funeral.

0:28:440:28:46

-I've lived here on my own

-since 1959.

0:28:460:28:51

-It happened so quickly...

0:28:540:28:58

-..with this depression.

0:28:580:29:00

-I never cry...

0:29:010:29:03

-..but there are times

-when I don't want to do anything.

0:29:030:29:07

-I sit here

-and close my eyes all day long.

0:29:080:29:12

-Carers call at the house.

0:29:140:29:16

-That's a help, seeing someone

-at some time during the day.

0:29:170:29:22

-# I met a pretty girl

0:29:260:29:28

-# Down by the seaside #

0:29:280:29:31

-Mair is used to people's company...

0:29:310:29:35

-..and with Manon there as a link

-between Mair and the children...

0:29:350:29:39

-..Mair is enjoying herself and

-getting into the spirit of singing.

0:29:400:29:45

-# The girl at the seaside

0:29:470:29:52

-# Oh, I love you

0:29:550:29:59

-# The girl at the seaside

0:29:590:30:04

-# Oh, I love you

0:30:050:30:09

-# Oh, I love you

0:30:090:30:12

-# The girl at the seaside #

0:30:120:30:18

-What a great experience.

0:30:200:30:22

-The end of the second day.

-The children head home.

0:30:230:30:27

-After today's experiences...

0:30:270:30:29

-..the psychologists want to

-change things for the final day.

0:30:300:30:35

-It's been very evident over

-the past two days we've been here...

0:30:350:30:40

-..how hard the carers work

-for everyone else.

0:30:400:30:43

-We're changing things tomorrow.

0:30:440:30:46

-We want them to step back

-and see what happens.

0:30:470:30:50

-Were you busy last night,

-doing something?

0:31:040:31:07

-Or like me doing next to nothing?

0:31:070:31:10

-Isn't that right?

0:31:120:31:13

-It'll be strange next week.

0:31:210:31:24

-It'll be quiet here. Yes.

0:31:240:31:26

-What's on the menu? Fish and chips?

0:31:300:31:33

-What's on the menu? Fish and chips?

-

-Fish and chips and peas.

0:31:330:31:34

-Wil likes to know the lunch menu.

-He tells everyone.

0:31:350:31:39

-The psychologists know that the

-elderly can cope with the children.

0:31:400:31:45

-Today, with the carers

-taking a step back...

0:31:450:31:49

-..they hope the elderly are

-confident to take a leading role.

0:31:490:31:54

-This is the third day.

0:31:540:31:56

-The relationship between the

-children and elderly has been great.

0:31:570:32:01

-We've also noticed that you,

-as staff, have been great.

0:32:010:32:07

-We want to change things today.

0:32:070:32:10

-We want to see if the adults

-can become the children's carers.

0:32:100:32:15

-We want to seat you

-in a particular place today.

0:32:150:32:21

-Naturally, if you're needed,

-you can step in...

0:32:220:32:25

-..but we'll see how that changes

-the relationship between them.

0:32:250:32:29

-The six children have arrived for

-their final day with the elderly.

0:32:300:32:35

-Today's theme is a seaside holiday.

0:32:360:32:39

-The children have brought

-their holidays snaps with them.

0:32:390:32:43

-The adults share their photos

-with the children.

0:32:440:32:47

-Oh, thank you.

0:32:480:32:49

-Good God.

0:32:490:32:51

-The camera was close to you

-when they took that photo.

0:32:520:32:56

-Makes you look fat!

0:32:560:32:58

-Speak as you find.

0:33:010:33:04

-As part of the third day

-of celebrating the seaside...

0:33:150:33:19

-..we have some surprises for them.

0:33:190:33:21

-Come on, come on.

0:33:220:33:24

-Come on, come on.

0:33:240:33:26

-The children are enjoying

-the experience.

0:33:260:33:29

-They can't wait to share a surprise.

0:33:290:33:32

-Where are we going?

0:33:320:33:34

-This way? OK.

0:33:370:33:40

-We're going this way?

0:33:400:33:42

-There we go.

0:33:430:33:44

-Goodness me,

-what have you been doing?

0:33:450:33:48

-We've already seen

-that setting a simple task...

0:33:520:33:55

-..and letting them work together

-works.

0:33:550:33:58

-Today, we've chosen hats. The carers

-aren't part of the activity.

0:33:590:34:05

-It's all down

-to the children and adults.

0:34:050:34:08

-While Vera and Morfudd make hats...

0:34:120:34:15

-..Glyn and Wil have joined

-Caleb and Cai in the sand.

0:34:160:34:19

-They're having a great time. Me too.

0:34:200:34:23

-Look at this.

0:34:250:34:28

-Two-year-old Cara needs

-to be coaxed a little to join in.

0:34:280:34:33

-Cara's still very shy.

0:34:340:34:36

-Yes.

0:34:360:34:38

-I'm not very good

-at making these things.

0:34:390:34:42

-There we go.

0:34:440:34:45

-One of the children who's struggled

-with the activities is Cara.

0:34:460:34:51

-Today, I've asked the carers

-to take a step back...

0:34:510:34:56

-..to see if Cara settles,

-if she comes out of her shell...

0:34:570:35:02

-..and if she becomes more confident.

0:35:020:35:05

-You need one there.

0:35:140:35:18

-In next to no time,

-the plan starts to work.

0:35:180:35:21

-Cara's coping well.

0:35:210:35:23

-It's nice to see Mair

-having a reason to talk.

0:35:240:35:28

-They're working together

-and that's drawing them together.

0:35:280:35:33

-It's a change from the first day.

0:35:330:35:35

-Well done.

0:35:350:35:37

-It looks lovely now.

0:35:380:35:40

-It's nice to see them enjoying.

0:35:410:35:43

-They've both come out

-of their shells.

0:35:430:35:46

-This is covered now.

-Should we make another one?

0:35:460:35:51

-We're a grand pair, aren't we?

0:35:520:35:55

-Yes, we are.

0:35:560:35:58

-Thank you very much.

0:36:000:36:02

-Today, everyone has a hat to

-celebrate the end of the experiment.

0:36:020:36:06

-Do I look grand? Yes?

0:36:070:36:09

-Where's her hat?

0:36:090:36:11

-First, it's lunchtime.

0:36:110:36:14

-Fish and chips wrapped in paper,

-just like the old days.

0:36:150:36:19

-Eat your chips.

0:36:260:36:28

-Children like chips, don't they?

0:36:340:36:37

-It's easy to miss the quiet ones.

0:36:400:36:43

-It's good to see how Mair

-has blossomed during this time.

0:36:440:36:49

-Mair wears dark clothes...

0:36:510:36:54

-..but she's wearing a colourful

-skirt today because she's excited.

0:36:540:36:58

-Mair's taken more from this

-than the others.

0:36:590:37:03

-Twice a child, that's what they say.

-For three days, the Maesincla

-day centre has become a nursery...

0:37:210:37:25

-..for six young children.

0:37:250:37:27

-They hadn't met

-before the experiment.

0:37:270:37:29

-By now, a special bond has developed

-between the youngsters and elderly.

0:37:300:37:37

-Two Bangor University psychologists

-have watched them.

0:37:380:37:42

-They're totally relaxed

-in each other's company.

0:37:420:37:45

-Look at the fun they're having.

0:37:450:37:47

-The men are more playful and the

-children are interacting with them.

0:37:470:37:54

-A hat for you.

0:37:550:37:57

-Today sees the end

-of the experiment.

0:37:590:38:02

-The children and elderly

-have been making hats...

0:38:020:38:05

-..ready for an afternoon of fun.

0:38:050:38:08

-Look at Mair.

0:38:180:38:20

-They're having fun.

0:38:340:38:37

-My sides hurt!

0:38:440:38:46

-Look at Eric.

0:38:470:38:49

-It's a tonic in itself.

0:39:010:39:02

-I haven't laughed so much in ages.

0:39:040:39:07

-These hats are hilarious.

0:39:070:39:10

-Every good party

-must have a surprise.

0:39:110:39:15

-To coincide with the seaside theme,

-here it is.

0:39:150:39:19

-It will bring a smile

-to the faces of young and old.

0:39:190:39:22

-Especially Cai.

0:39:230:39:25

-Hiya!

0:39:260:39:27

-The children will fetch ice cream

-for the elderly.

0:39:300:39:34

-Will the children take the

-ice cream to the elderly first?

0:39:350:39:39

-It's a big test for them.

0:39:400:39:42

-Fair play, they'd want to eat

-the ice cream right away.

0:39:420:39:46

-They've given them hats

-but ice cream is different.

0:39:460:39:50

-Give it to Wil.

-We'll fetch yours in a minute.

0:39:500:39:54

-The temptation is too much

-for Caleb.

0:39:540:39:56

-Nope!

0:39:570:39:58

-Thank you very much.

0:40:070:40:08

-Thank you very much.

-

-Let's fetch another one.

0:40:080:40:10

-Thank you.

0:40:170:40:19

-That's chocolate. Is it nice?

0:40:190:40:21

-Are you having an ice cream too?

0:40:220:40:24

-Oh, I've had one.

0:40:250:40:28

-To complete the experiment...

0:40:280:40:31

-..the psychologists

-have organised entertainment.

0:40:320:40:35

-It will be an emotional experience,

-for one person in particular.

0:40:360:40:40

-Glyn has a great fondness

-for brass bands.

0:40:400:40:44

-He was a national winner

-in the euphonium competition.

0:40:440:40:48

-This is a surprise for him, and the

-rest of the children and elderly.

0:40:480:40:52

-Glyn was a member

-of the Llanrug band.

0:40:520:40:55

-The band are coming to play

-for Glyn and the group.

0:40:560:40:58

-Goodness me.

0:41:010:41:03

-Llanrug.

0:41:070:41:09

-Do you know them?

0:41:090:41:10

-Do you know them?

-

-Yes.

0:41:100:41:11

-You can see the pride in his face.

0:41:120:41:14

-He knew right away.

0:41:140:41:17

-Hello!

0:41:180:41:20

-My first memory of Glyn Hughes...

0:41:250:41:28

-..was when I was eight years old...

0:41:280:41:31

-..playing cornet

-for the Llanrug band.

0:41:310:41:34

-He used to play the euphonium.

0:41:340:41:37

-You'd always listen to him.

-He was very talented.

0:41:370:41:41

-It's difficult to see him like this.

0:41:420:41:44

-He was a vibrant man.

0:41:450:41:47

-We'd have a lot of fun.

-That spark is still there.

0:41:470:41:50

-It's still there in his eyes.

0:41:510:41:53

-It's very frustrating for him.

0:41:530:41:55

-He can't get his words out

-and it's quite upsetting.

0:41:560:42:00

-I'd rather see him like this

-than not see him with us anymore.

0:42:000:42:04

-# Ar Hyd y Nos #

0:42:050:42:07

-I like singing.

0:42:260:42:28

-Well done.

0:43:040:43:06

-Excellent.

0:43:110:43:13

-We've come to the end

-of our journey.

0:43:130:43:16

-This experiment has shown that

-combining both generations works.

0:43:160:43:21

-There are huge advantages

-for the children...

0:43:220:43:25

-..and important benefits

-for the elderly.

0:43:260:43:29

-I'm so happy I could cry.

0:43:290:43:32

-Don't cry.

0:43:320:43:34

-Don't cry, Mair, don't cry.

0:43:350:43:37

-I'm so happy.

0:43:380:43:40

-Don't cry.

0:43:400:43:42

-Don't cry.

-

-I'm so grateful.

0:43:420:43:44

-Nice to see you so happy.

0:43:440:43:46

-It's been emotional.

0:43:460:43:49

-Just seeing their faces,

-seeing how much they've gained.

0:43:500:43:54

-It's just fantastic.

0:43:540:43:56

-When I saw Mair crying, and she

-was crying because she was happy...

0:43:560:44:01

-..that started me off.

0:44:010:44:03

-I haven't cried for so long,

-not since I've had this depression.

0:44:050:44:10

-You're crying today

-because you're happy.

0:44:100:44:13

-Crying because you're happy

-is different.

0:44:130:44:16

-It's wonderful.

-I can't tell you how happy I am.

0:44:160:44:20

-I enjoyed every day.

-The band was the crowning glory.

0:44:220:44:26

-I haven't cried for a long time.

0:44:270:44:30

-It brought a lump to my throat.

0:44:300:44:34

-Do you want a lift up?

0:44:340:44:35

-Do you want a lift up?

-

-Do you want to sit with me?

0:44:350:44:37

-My little darling.

0:44:390:44:42

-It's been an incredible experience.

0:44:440:44:48

-We don't appreciate the relationship

-that happens...

0:44:480:44:51

-..when we bring

-children and the elderly together.

0:44:520:44:54

-Being part of the three days

-has been very special.

0:44:550:44:59

-The nursery owner has invited

-the elderly to visit the nursery.

0:44:590:45:05

-I think a relationship

-founded in a short space of time...

0:45:050:45:09

-..will blossom and develop.

0:45:090:45:11

-That tickled me!

0:45:160:45:17

-That tickled me!

-

-It's been fantastic.

0:45:170:45:19

-I don't want it to end.

-I want it to continue.

0:45:190:45:22

-They will say the same thing.

0:45:220:45:24

-There you go.

0:45:250:45:27

-I've enjoyed every minute of it.

0:45:270:45:30

-Fantastic.

0:45:300:45:32

-Lovely.

0:45:350:45:36

-I want to cuddle them all.

0:45:370:45:40

-Join us again soon.

0:45:400:45:42

-I enjoyed the week -

-it was fantastic.

0:45:430:45:47

-Ta-ta!

0:45:470:45:49

-Ta-ta.

0:45:500:45:51

-Ta-ta.

-

-Thank you.

0:45:510:45:52

-Lovely. Fantastic. Fantastic.

0:45:530:45:56

-Ta-ta!

0:46:000:46:02

-Three Months Later

0:46:150:46:17

-Let's go in.

0:46:190:46:21

-Who's come back to see us? Come in.

0:46:210:46:25

-They've made Christmas cards.

0:46:250:46:27

-Three months later

-and it's Christmas.

0:46:300:46:34

-Old friends are back together.

0:46:340:46:36

-After spending three days together

-for the experiment...

0:46:410:46:45

-..the bond between two generations

-is as strong as ever.

0:46:450:46:48

-The relationship is rebuilt

-in no time..

0:46:480:46:51

-..and the elderly help the children

-eat their Christmas dinner.

0:46:510:46:56

-And big and big.

0:47:000:47:02

-Christmas isn't Christmas

-without a song.

0:47:100:47:14

-# Who's coming over the hill

0:47:140:47:16

-# Very, very quietly?

0:47:160:47:19

-# His beard is long

-and his hair is white

0:47:190:47:25

-# He's carrying something

-in his sack

0:47:250:47:28

-# Who's sitting on the roof

0:47:280:47:33

-# Near the large chimney?

0:47:340:47:37

-# Sion Corn, Sion Corn

0:47:380:47:43

-# Hello, hello

0:47:430:47:46

-# Come here, come on down #
