0:02:35 > 0:02:37- I can't believe that.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41- You were so sweet.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43- I want to cry.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45- How old were you?

0:02:45 > 0:02:49- I think I was 10 years old, - 10 or 11 years old.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52- We released a record, - Treflyn A Siwsan, when I was 11.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- That looks like a studio to me, - I remember the song...

0:02:56 > 0:02:59- ..but I don't remember - where it was recorded.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- You were singing with Treflyn.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06- I saw Treflyn last week. - He hasn't changed a bit.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11- I don't remember - how we started singing together.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14- We performed - in a number of concerts.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- During the late 1960s, - we sang everywhere...

0:03:19 > 0:03:21- ..in halls everywhere.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23- We had a lot of fun.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27- I do remember that. - I'm so glad you found that.

0:03:27 > 0:03:33- As it happens, here's another chance - to see you and Treflyn singing.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- In the spirit - of the 1960s and 1970s...

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- ..here's a protest song - about Porthmadog harbour.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45- # They've erected a gate

0:03:46 > 0:03:49- # To stop us going to the quay

0:03:50 > 0:03:52- # Anna, Joe and Cassie

0:03:53 > 0:03:55- # Will try to knock it down

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- # Keep the harbour for us

0:03:58 > 0:04:01- # Keep the harbour for us

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- # The English want a fee, - the English want a fee

0:04:05 > 0:04:07- # Keep the harbour for us #

0:04:07 > 0:04:11- What about the people - who come here to enjoy themselves?

0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Don't they make more use - of the harbour?

0:04:14 > 0:04:17- The problem as I see it is this.

0:04:17 > 0:04:22- Some people's livelihood depends - on their ability to use their nets.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26- We want people - to visit Porthmadog, yes...

0:04:26 > 0:04:31- ..but they must allow us - the right to fish the waters too.

0:04:31 > 0:04:36- You live in Pen-y-Cei - or you have links with the harbour.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40- What are your concerns - about what might happen...

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- ..if this law is passed?

0:04:43 > 0:04:47- I'd expect the children to be - allowed to paddle in the water...

0:04:47 > 0:04:49- ..as they have for many years.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51- I had six children...

0:04:52 > 0:04:56- ..and they used to jump out of bed - and jump into the water.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58- They've always done it.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01- How much use - do you make of this harbour...

0:05:01 > 0:05:05- ..compared with the English - residents of those flats?

0:05:06 > 0:05:09- We use this harbour - and bring our children here daily.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11- We've always done it.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Has this stopped now?

0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Has this stopped now?- - We can't go there any more.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Look at all these boats. - The children jump from the quayside.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22- They can't jump in - when the boats are here.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25- # All from Pen-y-Cei to Tremadog

0:05:26 > 0:05:28- # Want access to the quay

0:05:28 > 0:05:31- # Keep the harbour open for us

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- # Keep the harbour open for us

0:05:34 > 0:05:37- # The English want a fee, - the English want a fee

0:05:37 > 0:05:40- # Keep the harbour for us

0:05:40 > 0:05:43- # Keep the harbour for us

0:05:43 > 0:05:45- # Keep the harbour for us

0:05:46 > 0:05:48- # The English want a fee, - the English want a fee

0:05:49 > 0:05:51- # Keep the harbour for us #

0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Dear me! - We could write lyrics in those days!

0:05:59 > 0:06:03- "Keep the harbour for us, - the English want a fee."

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- We wrote that in a night.

0:06:06 > 0:06:11- Treflyn came over and we wrote it - - the protest song.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13- What happened as a result?

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Porthmadog took over the Cob.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20- A cooperative was formed - and the battle was won.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- There we go, - we went some way to helping them.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26- It's so strange to see that again.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- You've sung since you were - three, four years old...

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- ..and it was an integral part - of your upbringing.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Did it boost your confidence - for the future?

0:06:37 > 0:06:39- At the time, I wasn't so sure.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43- I didn't enjoy school, - to be perfectly honest.

0:06:43 > 0:06:47- I wasn't there that often - - I was busy singing in concerts.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52- I was in TWW in Bristol when I was - ten years old with Stan Stennett.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54- I performed on Disc A Dawn.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58- To be perfectly honest, - when I attended school...

0:06:58 > 0:07:01- ..I was very insecure - as I was on television so often.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05- I was worried - people thought I was showing off.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07- I was very insecure about that.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11- I didn't stop doing it - because that's what I enjoyed.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14- The school wasn't...

0:07:14 > 0:07:18- There were - some wonderful teachers there...

0:07:18 > 0:07:22- ..but I didn't really - enjoy my time in school.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26- There was very little drama - or music in schools at that time.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30- I remember the headmaster, - he didn't speak a word of Welsh.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34- He asked me, "What do you want - to do with your life?"

0:07:34 > 0:07:37- I said I wanted to be - a singer or actress.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40- "Don't be so silly," he said, - "become a nurse or a hairdresser."

0:07:41 > 0:07:43- That's how it was at the time.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47- I didn't listen to him! - Maybe I should have.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49- No, I don't think so.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51- No, I don't think so.- - I went on to act and sing.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55- I do know it made me - a rather insecure person.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58- I know that sounds very strange...

0:07:58 > 0:08:02- ..because I perform and have - performed throughout my life.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04- I'm a rather insecure person.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08- I regret leaving school - without going on to college.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13- I feel I rushed into it, - into real life.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16- I started when I was 15 - and then went on tour.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20- I regret that. - The insecurity has stayed with me.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25- It didn't hold you back. - We move on a few years now.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28- A lot of water - has flowed under the bridge.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30- A call came from Weatherfield...

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- ..when you were offered a part - in Coronation Street.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Watch this.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39- Yes, my dear?

0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Yes, my dear?- - Vodka slimline.

0:08:41 > 0:08:42- Ice?

0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Ice?- - Yes, and lemon. Where is he then?

0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Alec Gilroy. - His name's over the door.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50- He's here now. You're in luck. Alec.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51- What?

0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Tanya.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Come and give me - one of your cuddles.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01- Seem to be big pals, don't they?

0:09:01 > 0:09:02- What brings you here?

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- They said, "Guess who's on the tour? - Cuddles Gilroy."

0:09:06 > 0:09:07- I said, "Here we go."

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- The Middle East tour? - Wally never said.

0:09:12 > 0:09:17- Be like the old days. Porthcawl - at night. Haven't forgotten, I hope.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Yes, well... - It won't be quite like the old days.

0:09:22 > 0:09:23- Bet?

0:09:24 > 0:09:25- Come and meet Tanya.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- She's an exotic dancer.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Really? You do surprise me.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34- It's the wife - Bet.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36- Oh.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Megan and Bet, - the battle of the hair.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41- I won that battle.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43- I won that battle.- - I think you're right.

0:09:43 > 0:09:48- What was it like to be in Coronation - Street, a long-established series?

0:09:48 > 0:09:52- When my agent asked me - to go up there, I agreed.

0:09:52 > 0:09:57- I think I'm right in saying that I - only went up for two episodes.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01- I filmed both episodes - and they called me back again.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03- I was there for months after that.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05- The experience was amazing.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09- I'd been a fan of Coronation Street - for many, many years.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12- My first scene - was in the Rovers Return.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16- I couldn't believe it. - I couldn't believe I was in there.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19- I thought to myself, "Oh, I'm here."

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- It's an icon, in a way.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27- Working with Julie Goodyear - and Roy Barraclough...

0:10:27 > 0:10:29- ..especially Roy, it was great.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32- We became bosom buddies.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36- We still phone each other - and send Christmas cards.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40- We worked together about five years - after that in a pantomime.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43- He's such a lovely man.

0:10:43 > 0:10:48- It was an amazing experience - and I enjoyed my time there.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51- They wanted me to stay there - a little longer...

0:10:51 > 0:10:54- ..but at the time, - my daughter Melisa was very young.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58- I felt I'd have to go away - for a long time so I didn't...

0:10:58 > 0:11:00- ..but it was very enjoyable.

0:11:00 > 0:11:06- That's all for now. We'll see - a lot more of you in Part 2.

0:11:08 > 0:11:09- We'll be back in two minutes.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15- # Remember #

0:11:17 > 0:11:18- .

0:11:21 > 0:11:21- 888

0:11:21 > 0:11:23- 888- - 888

0:11:28 > 0:11:32- Welcome back. - I've been joined by Sue Roderick.

0:11:33 > 0:11:38- At the end of the 1980s, - you were part of a dynamic quartet.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40- Four women in the Codi Pais series.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- This series broke new ground - in a way.

0:11:44 > 0:11:45- Yes, it did.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50- A lot was done in England at the - time, such as French and Saunders.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54- Nothing in Wales - had brought four women together.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Nothing risque was being done, - either.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00- I think Carys Hall Evans - brought us all together.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05- Huw Davies, the head of HTV at the - time, was eager to do the programme.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09- It was a success with male and - female audiences, but mostly female!

0:12:10 > 0:12:14- We were allowed to say things - women weren't supposed to say.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18- The cast included Siw Hughes, - me, Gill and Eirlys Parry.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22- We were four very different women - in many ways.

0:12:22 > 0:12:28- Sometimes, Gill and I were more - adventurous and took more risks.

0:12:28 > 0:12:34- It was a nice combination - each - of us had different characteristics.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37- There was a lot - of singing and dancing.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- The talent came through - in every sense of the word.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43- We were also part of - the production team which was nice.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- We could contribute - and write for the show.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Let's have a look at how exactly - you did contribute!

0:13:08 > 0:13:12- # I need a friend when night falls

0:13:12 > 0:13:16- # I need a friend - when mist surrounds me

0:13:16 > 0:13:19- # I need a friend - when dark clouds gather

0:13:20 > 0:13:23- # I need a friend - when the rain drowns me

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- # I need a friend - when the praise stops

0:13:28 > 0:13:31- # I need a friend - when words fails me

0:13:31 > 0:13:35- # I need a friend - when I have nowhere to hide

0:13:35 > 0:13:39- # I need a friend when night falls #

0:13:41 > 0:13:43- A pair of legs.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45- That was another hair show!

0:13:46 > 0:13:51- That's how Gill and I performed - we - showed off and we had a lot of fun.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55- There's something nice - about being able to let go.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57- It was great.

0:13:58 > 0:14:03- We would suggest items for the show - and Carys would say, "Yes, great."

0:14:04 > 0:14:06- Then we'd go, "Oh, no."

0:14:07 > 0:14:10- You mentioned Victoria Wood - and French and Saunders.

0:14:10 > 0:14:14- Women were breaking new ground - in the world of comedy.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Caryl had already done so and was - still doing it when we did that.

0:14:18 > 0:14:23- It was nice to see four very - different women coming together.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26- It was such good fun.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29- One man who was very influential...

0:14:29 > 0:14:34- ..in opening the door - to the acting world for you...

0:14:34 > 0:14:36- ..was Wilbert Lloyd Roberts.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40- We have a clip - of a play by Saunders Lewis...

0:14:41 > 0:14:46- ..which was shown on the small screen - at the same time as it was staged.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49- There's also an interview - with Wilbert.

0:14:51 > 0:14:58- You see, Sara, Paul and I have - to meet so often in the college.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01- A wife and a lover - discussing the husband.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05- It's a scene from Saunders Lewis's - play - Problemau Prifysgol.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12- The drama will be televised - on Harlech TV later this year.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16- Is it a wise move in terms - of developing drama in Wales...

0:15:17 > 0:15:22- ..to televise a play when it's being - performed in the theatre?

0:15:22 > 0:15:27- Co-operation is important especially - in a small country like this.

0:15:27 > 0:15:32- It's important to give actors - a chance to be on stage and screen.

0:15:32 > 0:15:37- I think people are more interested - in the television broadcast...

0:15:37 > 0:15:40- ..after seeing it performed...

0:15:40 > 0:15:44- ..or if it's been talked about - as a stage production.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48- I'm not saying every stage play - should be televised...

0:15:48 > 0:15:53- ..but co-operation is good for the - actors and all institutions...

0:15:53 > 0:15:56- ..which provide a means for actors - of earning a living.

0:15:58 > 0:16:04- You were young when you auditioned - for Wilbert Lloyd Roberts.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07- I'd responded to an advertisement - in a paper.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Cwmni Theatr Cymru - was looking for actors.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- I went there, - read a script and sang.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16- He asked me when could I start.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20- I told him - I could start when I left school.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24- He thought I'd already left school. - I was only 14 years old.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28- In the meantime, - he suggested I had singing lessons.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31- No-one gave singing lessons - in Porthmadog.

0:16:31 > 0:16:36- He told me his wife, Betty, - could teach me.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40- I was taught by her for years - - we became good friends.

0:16:40 > 0:16:45- We went through the Guildhall exams, - all the way up to Grade 8.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48- We had a lot of fun - - she was such a nice lady.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52- When I finished my schooling, - I returned to see Wilbert...

0:16:53 > 0:16:56- ..and I joined Cwmni Theatr Cymru.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59- It was strange watching that clip.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03- Gaynor Morgan Rees and Beryl - Williams were in the audition...

0:17:03 > 0:17:05- ..when I was 14 years old.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07- The three of them were there.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Wilbert was a man of the theatre.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12- I've never seen that clip before.

0:17:12 > 0:17:16- He would promote - and believe in his own words.

0:17:16 > 0:17:20- That's very important. - We've lost that ability in Wales.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23- We don't like marketing.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26- We don't like telling people - that we're good.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28- He was very good at that.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31- We need more of that these days.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35- There's nothing worse - than a half-empty theatre.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39- I've done a lot of theatre work - - it's kept me going for years.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42- That's down to a lack of marketing.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46- It has nothing to do - with actors or the production.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48- It's a lack of marketing.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51- There are some very good companies.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55- Dafydd Hywel promotes his shows. - I've worked with Frank Vickery.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Apart from those two, - there's a lack of marketing.

0:17:59 > 0:18:04- When you perform to packed houses, - it gives you a lot of confidence.

0:18:04 > 0:18:09- I don't care what anyone says, - everyone wants an audience.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12- It was nice to watch that clip.

0:18:12 > 0:18:17- What was nice about Mr Roberts, we - never called him Wilbert, never...

0:18:18 > 0:18:22- ..he was true to his word and I went - there at the first opportunity...

0:18:22 > 0:18:25- ..to act - - he gave me that opportunity.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27- Betty gave you singing lessons.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32- Was there a point where you had - to choose between singing and acting?

0:18:32 > 0:18:38- Yes. I did well in my exams and she - asked, "What are you going to do?"

0:18:38 > 0:18:40- I said, "Well, I like both."

0:18:41 > 0:18:43- She said, "OK, we'll see."

0:18:44 > 0:18:46- I went into the acting side.

0:18:46 > 0:18:52- I still sing and I like to think I - could have been a classical singer.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54- However, it wasn't to be.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Next, we have a classic film.

0:18:58 > 0:19:03- You featured in a film that was - nominated for an Oscar in 1992.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05- That film was Hedd Wyn.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08- You played the part - of Lizzie Roberts.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17- The trout has swum away.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21- We used to swim here - when we were young.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23- I know.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27- As boys, we used to watch you.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30- You're full of mischief.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Had my parents known, - they would have killed me.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Come on, Lizzie, - I'll race you to the river.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43- What? I can't.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Come on.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47- No-one will know.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49- Let me go in first.

0:20:03 > 0:20:04- Hurry up.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06- I'm nearly ready.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Ellisyn, what are you going - to wear when you come out?

0:20:31 > 0:20:33- What?

0:20:50 > 0:20:51- Cheeky!

0:20:51 > 0:20:54- I thought you'd have stopped it - earlier.

0:20:54 > 0:20:55- No, no.

0:20:56 > 0:21:01- The story of how Hedd Wyn - was nominated is fascinating.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Yes. I don't think - a lot of people are aware of this.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08- A man from Dolgellau, Mr Evans, - had seen the film.

0:21:08 > 0:21:13- It had a cinema release before - there was any talk of the Oscars.

0:21:13 > 0:21:18- He wrote to the Academy in LA and - told them he'd watched this film.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20- He thought it was fantastic.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24- He wanted it nominated for an Oscar - and that's how it happened.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27- A man from Dolgellau - helped us get to the Oscars.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30- What was it like - when you were there?

0:21:30 > 0:21:34- I was worried I didn't have - enough clothes to wear.

0:21:34 > 0:21:39- There were so many events to promote - the film and parties to attend.

0:21:39 > 0:21:44- I met some very interesting people - during that time.

0:21:44 > 0:21:45- Who?

0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Who?- - Well...

0:21:48 > 0:21:52- I met so many people - - Clint Eastwood, Raquel Welch.

0:21:52 > 0:21:57- I went to Elton John's party. - This sounds like name dropping.

0:21:57 > 0:21:58- Keep going.

0:21:59 > 0:22:04- Anthony Hopkins looked after us - - he was our sponsor.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08- I'd worked with him a few months - earlier in Selected Exits.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12- That was nice - because I knew him well.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15- It was nice being with him.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18- One of the best things - that happened to me there...

0:22:19 > 0:22:24- ..was having a meal with the Academy - and sitting next to Gregory Peck.

0:22:25 > 0:22:26- He was a huge hero of mine.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30- He reminded me of my father - - he was very much like him.

0:22:30 > 0:22:35- He was there with his wife and I - thought, "What am I going to say?"

0:22:36 > 0:22:37- I had to say something.

0:22:37 > 0:22:41- He started the conversation - - he was such a gentleman.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43- He said he'd enjoyed the film.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47- I said, "Of course, - you know Wales, don't you?"

0:22:47 > 0:22:51- Moby Dick was filmed here. - That's how the conversation started.

0:22:51 > 0:22:56- After that, I had something to say - but I didn't know how to say it.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00- Dad's friend, a very close friend - of my mother and father...

0:23:01 > 0:23:04- ..his name was Tom Clegg - and he was an actor.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07- He was the native American Indian - in Moby Dick.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10- He was at his side - throughout the film.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13- He also banged the gong - before the Rank films.

0:23:14 > 0:23:15- The well-toned body.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17- The well-toned body.- - That's the one.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21- They were friends for years - after being in the Army together.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24- I was talking to him - about Tom Clegg.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28- I never thought I'd speak - to him about someone we both knew...

0:23:28 > 0:23:31- ..or at least my parents knew.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34- We talked for hours. - It's a small world.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37- The Welsh find their way everywhere.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39- Most definitely.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43- Well, we've brought back - some fine memories tonight.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Thank you very much, Sue.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48- Is it over? What a shame!

0:23:48 > 0:23:49- It wasn't that bad.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51- It wasn't that bad.- - I want to carry on!

0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Aren't there any more clips?

0:23:53 > 0:23:55- Thank you very much.
