-Welcome to our Archdruid, -T James Jones. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |

-TRUMPET FANFARE | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
-There's silence in the pavilion. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
-There's now a ripple of applause. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
-He's not an unfamiliar face. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
-He's not an unfamiliar voice. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
-Neither is his family unfamiliar. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
-In case he's unknown to some... | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
-..the crowned bard -is Chief Poet T James Jones. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
-APPLAUSE | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
-He was the Chief Poet at Fishguard -two years ago. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
-He's one of the sons of Parc Nest... | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
-..Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthenshire. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
-APPLAUSE | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
-The scoreline with his nephew... | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
-..is an interesting one. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
-Dylan has two chairs and a crown. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
-Jim has two crowns and a chair. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
-LAUGHTER | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
-Which of these two, I wonder... | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
-..will be the first -to achieve the double-double? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
-APPLAUSE | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
-Dylan was mentioned there - -Tudur Dylan, of course. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
-He's the son -of John Gwilym Jones, your brother. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
-Looking back, is it pleasing -to be given that recognition? | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
-You've hit the right notes. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
-It's a fine experience, -a real confidence booster. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
-With the Eisteddfod, -you can submit your entry... | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
-..use a nom de plume... | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
-..and then the adjudicators -can be frank and honest. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
-I've lost many times... | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
-..before winning anything. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
-Where did your love of words start? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
-Oh... | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
-..I was taught to recite. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
-That was years ago, -and I went to eisteddfodau. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
-I learnt poetry by heart. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
-After that... | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
-..I began to appreciate -the poets and their skills. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
-I thought I'd try my hand at it. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
-You were responsible for the Welsh -translation of Under Milk Wood. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
-I'd had the opportunity -of playing the First Voice. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
-The production was in Laugharne. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
-Gwynne D Evans was the director. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
-He asked if I'd be interested -in translating the play. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:39 | |
-Of course, I jumped at the chance. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
-It was a work with which -I was very familiar. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
-I'd been the First Voice, as I said. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
-That was it really. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
-I decided to write it -in my own dialect. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
-Laugharne is in Carmarthenshire. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
-I could bring the characters -to life. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
-I was able to place them, to give -them roots within the county. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
-The county was Carmarthenshire. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
-Here is Jim rehearsing -Dan Y Wenallt with Gwynne. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
-And at the doorway -of Bethesda House... | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
-..the Reverend Jenkins recites -to Llareggub Hill his sunset poem. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
-"Every morning when I wake | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
-"Dear Lord, a little prayer I make | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-"O please to keep Thy lovely eye | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
-"On all poor creatures born to die. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
-"And every evening at sun-down | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
-"I ask a blessing on the town | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
-"For whether we last the night or no | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
-"I'm sure is always touch and go." | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
-As you've probably gathered, -it's a rehearsal for Dan Y Wenallt. | 0:04:55 | 0:05:00 | |
-It's a translation by Mr James Jones -of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:06 | |
-Are there any features or problems -associated with this Welsh version? | 0:05:08 | 0:05:13 | |
-No, I was surprised -by the ease of the translation. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
-I think there's a reason for that. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
-Although Milk Wood was written -in English, it's rhythmically Welsh. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
-Both the melody -and rhythm are very Welsh. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
-Now the town is dusk. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
-Each cobble, donkey, -goose and gooseberry street... | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
-..is a thoroughfare of dusk. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
-And dusk and ceremonial dusk, -and night's first darkening snow... | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
-..and the sleep of birds, drift -under and through the live dusk... | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
-..of this place of love. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
-Llareggub is the capital of dusk. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
-Thanks. You've got it. -You've set the right atmosphere. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
-I prefer it personally. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
-Dan Y Wenallt in Welsh is better. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
-I find its special, atmospheric -quality most pleasing. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
-Well, I hadn't realized -that clip even existed. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
-I hope somebody can give me a copy! | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
-That was excellent, -and it brought back sweet memories. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
-What is it about the play -that makes it so popular? | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
-How did it capture -people's imagination? | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
-I think he'd based it -on characters he'd met. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:38 | |
-They were from New Quay, -where he'd been a wartime evacuee. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
-That's when he first -started writing Under Milk Wood. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
-The shadow of the war -loomed large over Under Milk Wood. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:54 | |
-It's not just a romp, -or a lightweight comedy. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
-Under the surface, -there's sadness and great tragedy. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
-There's that mixture in it. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-It's both comic and tragic. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
-It makes it a wonderful play, -in my view. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
-Another great love -of yours is sport. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
-We know you're fond of cricket. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
-But you're a big football fan too. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
-It started in your home area -in your younger days. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
-Yes, I played a bit. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
-I started with the school team, -and then Newcastle Emlyn. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
-Dic Jones played too. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
-Dic played alongside us. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-Centre half was Dic's position. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
-My brothers John Gwilym -and Aled played too. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
-All three of us played -together at one time. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
-We'd travel around the county. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-The Cardiganshire League -was the competition. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
-I also remember playing a cup tie. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
-Roderick Bowen handed a cup to us. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
-The cup final -was always held on Easter Monday. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
-We derived a lot of pleasure -from playing the game. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
-Which team do you support? | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
-Which team do you support? - -The Swans. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
-I supported them, of course... | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
-..though, at that time, I didn't go -to watch the Swans that often. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
-But I became a minister -in Mynydd-bach, Swansea. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
-I was then, of course, -very near to the Vetch. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
-I became a very fanatical supporter. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
-It had been an exciting time, -of course, in the mid 1960s. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
-It was a golden era -for Swansea's football team. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
-They reached the semi-final -of the FA Cup. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
-Let's see them now. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
-Trevor Ford, the greatest -centre forward Wales ever knew. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
-What are your reactions -to Swansea's fantastic Cup run? | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
-Wonderful, it's done Wales -a lot of good. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
-I think they'll win next Saturday. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
-Oh, I think it's -absolutely fantastic, as you say. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
-I think we'll beat Preston on -Saturday, and go to the Cup Final. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
-We've just heard from your brother, -Ivor, on his reactions. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
-Len, what do you think -about Swansea's Cup run? | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
-They've done magnificently so far. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
-I think they'll carry on -the good work on Saturday. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
-I really think -they're in with a great chance. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
-I still have a soft spot for them. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
-That's despite the fact -that I now live in Cardiff. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
-I can't forsake my allegiance -to the Swans. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
-I happened to be a minister -in Swansea, in Mynydd-bach. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
-That was in the period -when they went up from the Fourth. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
-They made it to the First Division. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
-I was there too when they faltered. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
-I think I moved from Swansea -because of the downward trend. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:30 | |
-What an exciting time -it was in Swansea's history. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
-Thanks very much for now, Jim. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
-Join us again for Part Two. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |

-Welcome back again to Cofio... | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-..and to my guest, T James Jones. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
-You've mentioned your time -as a minister. What came next? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:05 | |
-I went to Trinity College -to become a drama lecturer. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:10 | |
-After that... | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
-..I went to the BBC -as a drama script editor. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
-I worked mainly on Pobol Y Cwm. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
-But in that same period... | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
-..the opportunity came along -to write Y Palmant Aur. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
-I co-wrote it with Manon, my wife. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
-That was a very special experience. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
-Let's watch a clip from it. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
-Y Palmant Aur was a major success. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
-Hello. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
-Marged Ann. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
-You have pretty flowers there. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
-May I come with you? | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
-You may. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:56 | |
-Morgan and I share a birthday. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
-It's next Saturday. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
-The same day as the eisteddfod. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
-Yes. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:29 | |
-I was born on a Sunday. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
-That's why you became a minister. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
-Yes, maybe. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
-Why did you leave -the chapel, Luther? | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
-Well... | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
-Why? | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
-Hypocrisy. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
-Yes. Yes. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
-Yes, hypocrisy. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
-Hypocrisy has worried many of us. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
-It's something that I've seen. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
-And it's something -I've seen in myself too. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
-That's happened a few times. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
-The battle against hypocrisy... | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
-..is a difficult battle. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
-But you must fight it, -or else the truth gets lost. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
-You talk about hypocrisy. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
-You've questioned certain things. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
-You've perhaps questioned -your faith as well. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
-You were moved to write a poem -about the challenge to your faith. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:46 | |
-Yes, I've penned a few poems -recently on that subject. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:51 | |
-It's something personal to me. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
-An opportunity came my way. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
-I went to see... | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
-..not the Shroud itself in Torino... | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
-..rather, it was the cupboard -which contains the Shroud. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
-I went there by myself. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
-I'd arranged one morning -to go along to the church. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
-I saw crowds of people -doing the same. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
-They were all going to the church. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
-All of a sudden, I heard -the sound of quiet applause. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:28 | |
-A coffin was carried past me. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
-It resembled a boat on water. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
-In it went, into the church. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
-I realized it was a funeral, -an important funeral. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
-Then another coffin arrives... | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
-..and another coffin... | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
-..and another coffin again. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
-I felt a tragedy must have occurred. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
-I could hear names mentioned. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
-They were repeated -during the service. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
-Bruno, Angelo... | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
-..Roberto, Antonio. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
-I found out later what had happened. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
-These four young boys... | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
-..had been killed -in a steelworks accident... | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
-..in Torino. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
-It was a terrible tragedy. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
-Of course, in the background, -beyond the altar... | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
-..I could see the cupboard -where the Shroud was kept. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
-I thought of the story -about Christ himself... | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
-..and how, in his grave, -he had worn this Shroud. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
-Some burning had occurred there... | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
-..to create his image on the Shroud. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
-Many people have their doubts. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
-They say the Shroud's a fraud. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
-The debate has raged on for years. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
-These past few years -have seen it intensify. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
-I felt I was very, very close -to this relic. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
-I was on the verge -of believing in a falsehood. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
-That really shook me. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
-I felt... | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
-..that whatever had happened -on the cross to Jesus Christ... | 0:16:15 | 0:16:21 | |
-..and in the grave afterwards... | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
-..I saw that it -could not save these four. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
-These four had gone. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
-All these thoughts and questions -whirled around in my mind. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
-I felt so extremely lonely. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
-This is how I described -the experience in the written word. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:45 | |
-It was December time. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
-"The Piazza San Giovanni -is the strait of grief's overflow. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:54 | |
-"Hands clapping like waves breaking. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
-"And the coffins flow -to this cave of a church. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
-"Bruno, Angelo, Roberto, Antonio -are led... | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
-"..to the ironic flames -of the candles... | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
-"..to the wafers -as white as burning... | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
-"..and the wine as red as embers. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
-"The steel -of the white-hot furnace... | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
-"..owns Bruno, Angelo, -Roberto, Antonio. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
-"And neither the fiery word -nor the brilliant psalm... | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
-"..nor the molten ritual -of handshaking... | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
-"..can magic them back -to their loved ones. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
-"And the Shroud's supposedly -searing wizardry cannot remedy... | 0:17:37 | 0:17:43 | |
-"..Bruno, Angelo, -Roberto, Antonio... | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
-"..to flesh and skin, -to be strong boned... | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
-"..to be dexterous, to be the voices -of words still unspoken... | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
-"..to be the memory of belonging... | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
-"..to be the lap of comforting. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
-"For the Great Undertaker -is not a conjuror... | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
-"..who waves his wand -above the cauldron of pity. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
-"After the funeral... | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
-"..I touch the edge -of the Shroud's shadow... | 0:18:11 | 0:18:16 | |
-"..and shudder -for having almost surrendered... | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
-"..to the illusion of a relic... | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
-"..and one which, it seems, -is fake, at that. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
-"Leaving the cave, -the piazza is as empty... | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
-"..as a beach -whose day is ebbing away. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
-"And the waves are now too far... | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
-"..for us to hear them breaking. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
-"An isolated seagull -stands on a tower... | 0:18:43 | 0:18:48 | |
-"..with the blushing sunset -in its feathers... | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
-"..as lonely as a faithless soul. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
-"The chill of the steely city... | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
-"..is as sharp as December crags. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
-"And there's nothing left -but to pull... | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
-"..my own shroud tighter." | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
-You were destined to be there. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
-You were destined to be there. - -It was very strange indeed. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
-On another day, -in an empty church... | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
-..the experience -would have been very different. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
-But it was being there -at the funeral of four youngsters. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
-That's what did it for me. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
-I was very shaken. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
-Let's talk about your wife, -Manon Rhys. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
-She often works alongside you. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
-Is she also your sounding board? | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
-Oh, yes. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:43 | |
-For a short while, -when I first met her... | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
-..I used to edit her work because -I would oversee Pobol Y Cwm scripts. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:53 | |
-I was her boss for a brief spell. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
-We're partners now. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
-She edits my work, -and asks me to edit hers sometimes. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
-I'm sure you wouldn't forgive me... | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
-..if I failed to mention -another love of yours, cricket! | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
-Cricket's always been -a very important game for me. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:17 | |
-My father taught me -to play cricket on the farmyard. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
-Aled and John played, and Mam too! | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
-Yes, she'd stand in front -of the window, as extra cover. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:32 | |
-Sometimes, -we would sneak away from school... | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
-..to watch Glamorgan play. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
-Those were the days -they played in Llanelli. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
-We savoured one or two victories. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
-Here's an exciting event -in Glamorgan cricket history. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
-Canterbury, 1993. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
-Tony Cottey somehow -reaches the boundary. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
-Glamorgan win -the Sunday League competition. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:09 | |
-It's the first time they've done so. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
-It's unexpected, say the critics. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
-But it's well deserved, -according to a leading batsman... | 0:21:14 | 0:21:19 | |
-..and a Glamorgan hero that day... | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
-..none other than Viv Richards. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
-We've accomplished something -with the club, you know. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
-They gave us no chance, -but we've shut a few people up. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
-Viv Richards was quite emotional. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
-We'll turn now -to this year's Eisteddfod. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
-It'll be in Blaenau Gwent -and the Heads of the Valleys. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
-As the Archdruid, -are you looking forward to it? | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
-Very much so, -and I hope to enjoy it. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
-It's in an area which I visited... | 0:21:51 | 0:21:56 | |
-..when it was last there, -back in 1958. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
-There's another reason -why I'm looking forward to it. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
-The Eisteddfod will be near -my eldest grandson's school. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
-He goes to school in Abergavenny, -which is close by. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:18 | |
-I'll be a very proud Archdruid. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
-Here's an old clip -of that Eisteddfod. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
-A little more than a year and a day -since the Proclamation Ceremony... | 0:22:37 | 0:22:42 | |
-..Ebbw Vale is host to -the National Eisteddfod of Wales. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
-As a sequel to the Crowning, -came the Chairing of the Bard. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:51 | |
-This year, a poem -on the subject Caerleon-on-Usk... | 0:22:51 | 0:22:55 | |
-..made the winner, Mr T Llewelyn -Jones, eligible for the Chair. | 0:22:55 | 0:23:00 | |
-Heart to Heart, -Is there peace? | 0:23:00 | 0:23:05 | |
-Peace! | 0:23:05 | 0:23:06 | |
-Let the bard sit in peace. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
-That was T Llew, -one of my heroes, of course. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
-He won the chair there. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
-I hope I can chair and crown... | 0:23:18 | 0:23:23 | |
-..and hand out medals... | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
-..in Ebbw Vale. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
-Those hours will be their hours. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:33 | |
-Is that the advice your brother, -the former Archdruid, gave you? | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
-That's the advice -John Gwilym gave me. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
-Remember, it's not your time. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
-That time is given -to the author and the poet. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
-I hope, I sincerely hope... | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
-..I can give a new lion a crown, -a chair or a literary medal... | 0:23:49 | 0:23:56 | |
-..in Ebbw Vale. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
-Thank you, Jim, -for keeping me company tonight. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
-I hope you've enjoyed -looking back over your life, too. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
-Thank you. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:10 | |
-That's all from us for tonight. -Goodnight. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
