-What's the secret? -Is there a secret? | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
-Not at all. -I do what I did as a little girl. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
-I sing - that's my life. -It's what I used to do. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
-I guess I've kept on doing it. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
-No real plan then, -you just followed your heart. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
-Yes. That's it. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
-I sometimes think I would have liked -to have had a plan... | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
-..which I could have followed... | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
-..and yet, I'm not sure -how that would have worked. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
-It's not really me, -I'm not an organized person. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
-I've just done what I used to do. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
-We start tonight with an iconic -image of Margaret Williams. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:37 | |
-I think most people will remember you -in the famous wicker chair. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
-# Though her words | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
-# Are simple and few | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
-# Listen, listen | 0:01:52 | 0:01:57 | |
-# She's calling to you | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |

-# Tuppence a bag | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
-# A spoonful of sugar -helps the medicine go down | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |

-# Just a spoonful of sugar -helps the medicine go down | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
-# In the most delightful way # | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
-APPLAUSE | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
-Can I use the word "stunning" there? | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
-Who was she? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
-It was true entertainment, -with a full orchestra behind you. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
-I think that was -the first orchestra we had. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-A family show that brought glamour -and entertainment into the home. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:12 | |
-It's an important tradition -that has never gone out of fashion. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
-I don't think it has. And maybe, -it's even more prevalent today. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:21 | |
-There was a period when the trend -leaned towards the folk style. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
-Today, I think the glamour -and that style is making a comeback. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:33 | |
-How important has image been to you? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
-It's been an integral part -of your performances and career. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
-I wouldn't sing in a concert -wearing jeans and a t-shirt. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
-I wouldn't sing in a concert -dressed like this. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
-I'm used to the long dresses. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
-It depends on the style of singing. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
-If I sang folk music, -I'd dress entirely differently. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
-Let's return to your roots -in Brynsiencyn. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:05 | |
-Fortunately, a local doctor, -Dr John Glyn Jones... | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
-..was interested in photography. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
-He filmed a Sunday school trip, -way back in the 1950s. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
-Very romantic images there. -How many do you remember? | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
-Yes, Gwenda, Megan and their mother. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-That was in the 1940s. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
-Everyone in the village -would go on the Sunday school trip. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
-There were about four or five buses. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
-I would be sick on a bus -so I wasn't allowed to go. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
-I wasn't on that trip. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
-One of my brothers was there. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
-He was allowed to go with the boys - -they were older than me. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
-I wasn't there -but it was lovely to see those. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:53 | |
-How did you start singing? | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
-I sang -in Sunday school and in chapel. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
-My parents sang too. My father had -a singing group - "Parti Min Menai". | 0:05:58 | 0:06:04 | |
-My brothers and their friends, -Rovi the magician from Caernarfon... | 0:06:04 | 0:06:11 | |
-..and Huw Tanpencefn - -a gang of them would sing. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
-They were very good. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:16 | |
-I wasn't allowed to go. -I was much younger than my brothers. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
-I would sing in chapel, -in the local eisteddfodau. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:27 | |
-That was my life in a way. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
-In terms of a career, -you began as a teacher not a singer. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
-As a career, yes. -I went to Bangor Normal College. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
-I'd been accepted to a music -college in Manchester when I was 16. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
-I couldn't get a scholarship -or money to go. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
-I went to the Normal -and taught in Beaumaris. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
-Then I moved to south Wales, -to the Rhymney Valley. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
-I taught in Gelligaer. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:55 | |
-You had singing lessons in Cardiff, -in the college in the castle grounds. | 0:06:55 | 0:07:01 | |
-I had voice training -when I was 13 years old. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
-I continued and had lessons in -Cardiff first with Phyllis Kinney. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:09 | |
-Phyllis was very good and -she suggested after many years... | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
-..she would give me -extra advice about what to wear... | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
-..ideas of which I knew nothing. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
-I'm grateful to her -and she suggested I should go... | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
-..to the College of Music and Drama -in Cardiff. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-We haven't found footage of you -in the College of Music and Drama... | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
-..but we've got the college itself. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
-Look carefully -at the end of the clip. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
-You'll see a familiar face, -the actor Ronnie Williams. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |

-Ronnie there in the background. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
-I wasn't there full-time. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
-I went twice a week to Madame Julia -Hilger. She'd been an opera singer. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:58 | |
-I used to go regularly for years. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
-In those days, you could drive -a car along Queen Street in Cardiff. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:08 | |
-You could drive the car -into the castle. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
-We would park -where that door was... | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
-..and go up those stairs. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
-Manon was a baby. -I'd take the carry-cot with me. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
-She was a young adult -when I finished. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
-How did you decide -to take up singing professionally? | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
-After 1964 when I was lucky -to win the major Eisteddfod awards. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:36 | |
-I won solo competitions in the Urdd -in June, Llangollen in July... | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
-..and was awarded the Blue Riband in -the National Eisteddfod in August. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:46 | |
-In 1964 - the same year... | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
-..the BBC formed -a light entertainment department. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
-I slotted in there quite neatly. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
-The Eisteddfod brings -so much publicity. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
-I was in the right place -at the right time, luckily. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
-Meredydd Evans -was looking for people... | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
-..and Ryan and I were among -the first to be offered a contract. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:15 | |
-We'll hear more about that part -of your life after the break... | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
-..but for now, thank you, Margaret. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |

-..of singer and actress -Margaret Williams. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
-You were talking -about yourself and Ryan Davies. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
-Many of the early programmes -were live broadcasts... | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
-..but we have found a clip -of you and Ryan with Aled Hughes. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
-Not "Noson Lawen" but "Sgubor Lawen". | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
-# I'm off to London, fellows | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
-# Tomorrow I shall start | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
-# I shan't stay in Wales | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
-# To break my little heart | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
-# Oh, the little golden beer | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
-# The little golden beer | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
-# I'll take a sip -just now and then | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
-# Of the little golden beer | 0:11:25 | 0:11:26 | |
-# In London, there's good money -and dinner - aye, that's right | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
-# And walks with pretty little maids -'til ten o'clock at night | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
-# Oh, the little golden beer | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
-# The little yellow beer | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
-# I'll take a sip just now and then -of the little golden beer | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
-# When I go up to London, -I'll see no pigs or sheep | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
-# I'll go to bed so early | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
-# And have a good long sleep | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
-# Oh, the little golden beer | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
-# The little golden beer | 0:11:55 | 0:11:56 | |
-# I'll take a sip just now and then | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
-# Of the little yellow beer # | 0:11:59 | 0:12:00 | |
-From where did that come? -I'd never seen it before. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
-That was you and Ryan Davies -back in 1966. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
-With Aled, from the duo Aled & Reg, -standing on the other side. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
-He was a star of the time, -wasn't he? | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
-Aled & Reg - yes. -I'd known Aled since childhood. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
-I was brought up -with a little niece of his. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
-Josephine and I -were the best of friends. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
-They lived next door to us. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
-We'd listen to Aled, -when he was a young man. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
-His sister was Josephine's mother. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
-He'd yodel and Nain would say -that no-one could rival him! | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
-He'd yodel with Aled & Reg. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
-They were both so remarkable -and I was so fond of them both. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
-You were seen there -singing with Ryan, of course. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
-We now have a very early film -showing more of his own talent. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
-Could you come out, please? | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
-No, I have to sell the ice creams. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
-The TV is here, -and we'd like to interview you. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
-How are ice cream sales -in Eisteddfod week? | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
-It's going well, plenty of licking -going on in this Eisteddfod. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:24 | |
-Is ice cream popular with the bards? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
-Oh, the bards all come out, -you know. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
-They all love a little refresher -after they argue in there. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
-Which ice cream goes down best -with the bards? | 0:13:34 | 0:13:39 | |
-I think it's this one here, -strawberry split. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
-I see. Well, thank you very much. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
-Thank you, bye-bye! | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
-We'll move on now -to meet someone else on the Maes. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
-I liked that little "bye-bye". | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
-Wonderful. It's Ryan's singing that -fills me with longing for that era. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:59 | |
-We laugh at his acting sketches, -as we all should... | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
-..but there was something -about his singing voice. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
-I remember singing with him. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
-He played the triple harp. -He was quite exceptional. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
-His voice had a nostalgic quality. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
-He could sing a melancholic ballad -such as Myfanwy. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
-He could sing with a big band -behind him too. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
-We'd sing Hywel and Blodwen -together in every concert. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
-Nobody could sing it like Ryan. -He sang it properly. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
-He was amusing with it. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
-How I kept a straight face, -I'll never know. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
-What about Ronnie? -You worked a lot with him as well. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
-Yes, a great deal. Ronnie had -his own BBC programme - Late Call. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
-It was on late every Tuesday night. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
-Dave Allen, Jimmy Edwards and -The Beverley Sisters were guests. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:54 | |
-They'd take part in the chat show. -I was the regular singer. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:59 | |
-Ronnie presented it. He also -scripted a show called Stiwdio B. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
-That series was similar -to That Was The Week That Was. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
-David Frost did it in English -but ours was in Welsh. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:13 | |
-That was the first one we did, -back in 1964. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
-Stewart Jones was in that series. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
-I remember him coming along -with a newly-created character. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
-Wil Sam had written his script. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
-There was a truck -in the studio... | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
-..for the weekly live broadcast. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
-Stewart portrayed -the man with the truck... | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
-I'd look forward to his performance. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
-He and his script -always made me laugh. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
-You went on to act with him -in Ifas y Tryc, didn't you? | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
-Yes, in the 1980s, I was invited -to play the role of Ifas's wife. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:52 | |
-That was in the film -based on the Ifas character. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
-Here's a clip right now. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
-She'll kill me, she'll kill me - -my days are numbered, lad. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
-What are you going on about? | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
-The minute my missus sees -this blighted scrap on the yard... | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
-..my life won't be worth living. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
-What's this? | 0:16:31 | 0:16:32 | |
-Must I suffer seeing this heap -for the rest of my life? | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
-It's only temporary. -It won't be here long - temporary. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:44 | |
-We'll shift it from here -as soon as we can. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
-The same old story. -Shame on you, man. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
-Swapping my tallboy with this. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
-But... | 0:16:52 | 0:16:53 | |
-But... - -You'll suffer for this. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
-Excuse me, the tallboy's -on the back of the truck. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
-And there's more to the story. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
-Selling the dresser was the start. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
-Look. I'm warning you now. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
-This old scrap or me. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
-If this hasn't gone in two days, -I'll go. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
-This time, I mean it. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
-If I get up -and this is still in the yard... | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
-..I'll be leaving you, right. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
-That's a hell of choice, guv. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
-Make sure that scrap is out of sight -and stays out of sight. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
-Don't cross Margaret Williams. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
-That's telling it as it is. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
-I remember -they blackened under my eyes. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
-They wouldn't bother now, -it's there already. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
-Making that was pure pleasure. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
-Mici Plwm was there too. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
-I admired Stewart so much. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
-I was used to seeing him -in the eisteddfodau... | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
-..when I used to compete. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:58 | |
-He'd compete in the open recitation. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
-I'd known him for years. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
-You stepped -into a very different role there. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
-Did you enjoy acting? | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
-Yes, I enjoyed it a great deal, -I must say. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
-I do enjoy it. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
-Lleifior came next. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
-Then many plays by T James Jones, -Eigra Lewis Roberts... | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
-..and Islwyn Ffowc Elis, of course. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
-I enjoyed myself -in Lleifior and Pobol y Cwm. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
-Sometimes, someone would say, -you don't look right for the part. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
-Sometimes that would go against me. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
-We'll finish where we started, -with your series. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
-Here we see you -with the Pendyrus Male Voice Choir. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:45 | |

-# Lay down your burden | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
-# Tomorrow is another day | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
-# Here you'll find a haven | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
-# A shoulder you can lean on | 0:20:08 | 0:20:13 | |
-# Lay down your burden | 0:20:13 | 0:20:18 | |
-# Tomorrow is another day | 0:20:18 | 0:20:23 | |
-# Tomorrow is another day | 0:20:23 | 0:20:31 | |
-# Another day # | 0:20:32 | 0:20:40 | |
-Hafan Gobaith was the song there. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
-You said you felt a shiver... | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
-..singing that song -with the Pendyrus Male Voice Choir. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
-It was such a huge climax. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
-Glynne Jones had walked in... | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
-..into this studio as it happens. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
-He was the conductor of the choir. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
-He was the conductor of the choir. - -Yes, Glynne was quite a character. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
-One of life's flamboyant characters. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
-People either loved him or thought, -"Oh, Glynne Jones, Pendyrus"! | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
-He would always wear a smart cloak. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
-I'd go home and my mother would say, -"Why does he wear that silly cloak?" | 0:21:14 | 0:21:19 | |
-I liked it, -I thought it was lovely. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
-He came in that day -and the studio was packed. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
-There were 80 in the choir and -there were other choirs here too. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
-There were dancers, an orchestra, -soloists, lots of people. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
-He had to share a room -with the choir. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
-When Glynne came in, -he wasn't happy. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
-However, we came in and had a chat. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
-His mother was ill. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:42 | |
-He lived with his mother... | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
-..and he himself wasn't well either, -but he was like a lamb. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
-He brought the choir -into the studio and conducted. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
-Perhaps because of the song, -or because I knew of the illness... | 0:21:52 | 0:21:58 | |
-..and the song - composed for Bryn -Terfel in aid of Hope House... | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
-..where the words mean so much... | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
-..that final chorus -sent a shiver down my spine. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
-It was amazing. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
-You enjoyed inviting -male voice choirs onto your series. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:17 | |
-Usually, they'd be more used -to singing hymns and so on. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
-You liked to push them -to sing popular light songs. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
-In the 1970s, -maybe people don't remember... | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
-..but male voice choirs -had almost gone out of fashion. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
-I remember... | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
-..in the first series -produced in 1981 for the BBC... | 0:22:37 | 0:22:42 | |
-..when I wanted to feature -a male voice choir, they refused. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
-By 1982, maybe because the first -series had gone down quite well... | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
-..we were allowed -male voice choirs. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
-That series - the first two -programmes went out on the BBC... | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
-..but the third programme -went out on S4C... | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
-..as the channel had been launched -the Tuesday before. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
-The programme ended -with a great song, a sort of anthem. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 | |
-We'd sing a light song too... | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
-..a formula which worked well -with male voice choirs. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
-Variety - just like tonight. -Thank you very much. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
-From all of us here, -until the next time, goodnight. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
