0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Firstly, - it was so close to real life.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- There were teams like that - everywhere in north Wales...
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- ..and, as far as I know, - in south Wales.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11- I played for Pontrhydfendigaid - when I worked in Theatr y Werin.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- There were major similarities - between there and C'mon Midffild.

0:10:32 > 0:10:37- It was nice going to work - on a Monday morning...
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- ..and going out to play football - for most of the day.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Sometimes, - we had to focus on filming...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- ..but we had a lot of fun.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- A dream life for some people.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55- Local players wanted to be extras - in C'mon Midffild.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- They wanted their team - on the programme.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- In the very first episode - a makeshift team is put together...
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- ..because a lot of players - had gone on their holidays.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Mr Picton wonders - where his team will come from.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- He finishes the meeting by saying...
0:11:12 > 0:11:17- .."You start in the nursery school - I'll try the old people's home."
0:11:17 > 0:11:22- We cut to the changing rooms - and a pan of all the characters.
0:11:22 > 0:11:29- One boy who sang around the pubs - of north Wales, a bald lad...
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- ..was so disappointed - he wasn't in the next episode...
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- ..because the team - had returned from holiday.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- He'd tell people, "I don't know - why they won't pick me.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- "I played my heart out for them."
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- He lived the character.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- That's all for now.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52- In Part 2, we'll relive - a troubled time from your past...

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- I've always enjoyed running.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44- A lot of long-distance runners - come from the Nantlle Vale.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- We're like the Kenyans.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- I think I still hold the record - for the fastest mile in school...
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- ..but I think they changed - to metric after I left!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Sshh!
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- When I was around 16 years old...
0:13:03 > 0:13:10- ..I could run the mile in around - four minutes and 16 seconds...
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- ..not that far - from a four-minute mile.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- I went on to run longer distances - after that.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- As we saw with C'mon Midffild, - football was very important to me.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- I spent hours on the football pitch.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Mam had to drag me away - at mealtimes.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- Like many boys during that time...
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- ..I thought I could make a career - from playing football.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- That was my game plan.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- In terms of running, - I represented north Wales.
0:13:42 > 0:13:48- I remember running in Haverfordwest - against England and Scotland.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06- All my cousins - would close in on them.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- One of your most well-known songs - is Meibion Y Fflam...

0:16:50 > 0:16:53- # Wearing a raincoat
0:16:54 > 0:17:00- # Stinking of petrol - with a box of matches in his hand
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- # But no-one knows anything - in the cold light of day #
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- The arrest of Bryn Fon, - actor and singer...
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- ..on suspicion of being - a member of Meibion Glyndwr...
0:17:12 > 0:17:13- ..shocked everyone.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- He was locked up for 60 hours - and was then released on bail.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Here is his recollection - of the events...
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- ..the most turbulent - three days of his life.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Police had a warrant - to search the house.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Within an hour, - someone came to the house...
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- ..to say they'd discovered a plastic - package in a hole in the wall.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35- They showed it to me.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- I'd never seen the bag - or its contents.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- What was in the plastic bag?
0:17:41 > 0:17:42- From what I could see...
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- ..a wire - an ordinary-looking wire, - a battery and white powder.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- "No-one knows anything - in the cold light of day."
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- Words that are as true today - as they were...
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- ..when Meibion Glyndwr - first hit the headlines.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Words that led - to the condemnation of Bryn Fon.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- # Someone somewhere knows
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- # Father and mother
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- # Someone somewhere knows #
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- How much did those words - condemn you?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- I suspect they strongly - condemned me.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- There was no mention of the song - while I was in Dolgellau...
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- ..until the very end.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- On the final afternoon, - the Friday...
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- ..they'd decided - they didn't have any evidence.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- They didn't really know - what they were doing.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- Elfyn Llwyd and I asked - for some time to discuss matters.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- They came back in the afternoon - with a different approach.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- Did I have enemies? Who could have - done this to me? Who set me up?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- I didn't have an answer.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- The afternoon rolled on slowly...
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- ..and C'mon Midffild - was on television at the time.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- I could hear the television.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07- The bomb squad was upstairs - watching C'mon Midffild!
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- The officer in charge came down - to see me in the cell...
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- ..and told me - the team needed a new goalie!
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- The Chief Superintendent - told me before I left...
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- ..to be careful - what I said in public...
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- ..and how I behaved on stage...
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- ..because I could influence - an audience.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- He suggested that I encouraged - others to do things they shouldn't.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- It was definitely a warning...
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- ..which referred to my performances - during that time.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- How did it affect your family?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- How did it affect your family?- - You can't make light of the matter.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- It affected my mother and father - greatly.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55- My father witnessed the event - - he was there during the arrest.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- It affected him greatly - and certainly, my mother.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- I don't think my mother's nerves - were ever quite the same again.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- You then try to look - for the positives.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- I'm sure Sain benefited from it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:22- Sales of Sobin a'r Smaeliaid's CDs - went through the roof after that.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- We change the mood completely now - with another song from Sobin...
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- ..Mardi Gras Ym Mangor Ucha'.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- # Playing the machine in The Globe - night after night
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- # The Menai Vaults, the Belle Vue, - Bangor aye, and who knows
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- # Brewers and bankers, - one-time traitors
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- # Lefties and Welshies - and renowned famous folk
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- # Nuggets, Mary-Marys - and the world's common jacks
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- # Talking Esperanto, - it's the only language of the street
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- # There's a Mardi Gras - in Upper Bangor
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- # Calypso on everyone's lips
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- # Ed Povey's people - laughing on the walls
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- # And the singer

0:21:36 > 0:21:38- # The singer
0:21:40 > 0:21:46- # The singer on his own #
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- Sobin a'r Smaeliaid - - can you explain the name?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- We go back to family affairs again.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- Nain's brother was Robin - but people called him Sobin.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- He was a miserly old man.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18- He'd argue with everyone - about everything.
0:22:18 > 0:22:24- I remember when the Celtic Film - Festival was held in Caernarfon.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- During the feast in the finale...
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- ..they couldn't translate - proceedings into Welsh...
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- ..so it was an all-English affair.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39- We were misled though - - there was a translation facility...
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- ..for the Breton people on my table.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- I stood up - and objected to the fiasco...
0:22:45 > 0:22:50- ..questioning why I could listen - in Breton but not in Welsh.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- I walked out and it made - the following morning's news.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- My uncle, Uncle Moi, - came up to see me soon after...
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- ..and said, - "Oh, Sobin's back once more,"...
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- ..because I'd made such a fuss.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09- The people of Nasareth, a village - nearby, are called Smaeliaid...
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- ..Smaeliaid - Ishmaelites - because of the Biblical connection.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Sobin a'r Smaeliaid were born.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Well done. - Thanks for the explanation.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- Thanks for your company.
