-Tonight, I'll rummage through

-Angharad Mair's wardrobes...

-..and I'll take a peek inside

-Leah Jones's special chest.

-But, first...

-..the comfortable clothes

-worn by Prys Jones.

-Welcome to CWPWRDD DILLAD.

-A collection of bright jumpers.

-Who'll give me 100? Thank you.

-100. 120. Spend your

-husband's money, Missus, come on!

-160.

-180.

-200? 200. Thank you.

-Are we all done?

-They're yours, at 200. Thank you.

-Prys Jones, the auctioneer, is a man

-who loves leisure activities.

-His wardrobe reflects his hobbies.

-You're well-known

-for wearing bright jumpers.

-Yes, that's true.

-Deep down, I'm a very shy person

-but my jumpers give me confidence.

-You wear bright, unique jumpers...

-..so does that mean you now

-enjoy standing out from the crowd?

-Yes. That's the kind of man I am.

-When I enter a room,

-I want to dominate that room.

-It's important to me.

-Do the clothes you wear

-change your attitude?

-Yes.

-The people who know me look at me

-when I enter a room and say...

-.."He's at it again!"

-Perhaps it's become a challenge

-for me to make waves.

-The place where I buy my clothes

-is a closely-guarded secret.

-I don't want anyone else to buy them

-and upstage me!

-I have great fun with my clothes.

-What can you tell me

-about this jumper?

-I think this is the jumper

-in which I feel most comfortable.

-You look at it and you could

-almost think it's full of holes.

-I sit here and think about the hours

-it took to create this jumper.

-I can create nothing,

-except with my mouth.

-I admire people who can

-create things with their hands.

-The craftsmanship of this jumper

-is amazing.

-I love it.

-They're classy.

-Something about them stands out.

-That's how I feel when I wear them.

-You're wearing your Saturday,

-relaxation outfit...

-..with the cravat around your neck.

-Tell me about this jumper.

-This isn't a bright jumper...

-..but it's the first

-colourful jumper I ever bought.

-I bought this in Harrogate

-and paid more than 100 for it.

-Have jumpers become more expensive

-since then?

-Yes... unfortunately!

-The sizes have gone up, too,

-even more unfortunately!

-Bigger jumpers are more expensive.

-Bigger jumpers are more expensive.

-

-More materials!

-The jumpers at the foot of the bed

-are golf jumpers, aren't they?

-Golf is your passion.

-Golf is your passion.

-

-Yes, although I play less golf

-these days.

-I used to be a serious golf player.

-The great thing about many of those

-is they're sleeveless body warmers.

-They're comfortable,

-and I think they look respectable.

-I always strive to buy

-high quality clothes.

-Casual smart is your look, isn't it?

-Yes. I'm comfortable with

-the casual smart look.

-I'm comfortable to dress as I do.

-I think casual smart sums it up.

-A relaxed look.

-Prys's clothes

-fill all these wardrobes.

-Coats, jumpers, more jumpers,

-trousers and, of course...

-..shirts.

-Lots and lots of shirts.

-Where there are shirts,

-there are usually ties.

-Golf club. Golf club.

-He's a past captain.

-These caps are mementoes

-of his travels around the world.

-The Bahamas and the Caribbean.

-He played golf in Antigua.

-What about these hats?

-Golf, golf, golf, golf.

-A trotting hat, too!

-We're going to play a round of golf?

-We're going to play a round of golf?

-

-Yes.

-Where are your clubs?

-Where are your clubs?

-

-In my locker at the golf club.

-They wouldn't fit in here, anyway.

-That's true.

-This car has a tiny boot.

-I carry three or four sweaters

-in the car.

-I carry a wardrobe in the car!

-It covers all time of the day

-and all weather conditions.

-More clothes!

-Will you wear something from here?

-Yes, I'll wear this one.

-Yes, I'll wear this one.

-

-And these shoes?

-Yes, I'll wear this one.

-

-And these shoes?

-

-Yes, indeed.

-It's strange seeing people on the

-golf course all dressed similarly.

-It's almost like a school uniform.

-It's almost like a school uniform.

-

-Yes, but standards must be upheld.

-It's very important.

-You start with the shoes.

-You must have the right shoes,

-socks, trousers and sweaters.

-You see some of the ladies -

-and it's like a fashion parade.

-It's a great excuse

-to buy more clothes.

-Yes, and it shows in my wardrobes!

-I have big wardrobes

-full of golf sweaters.

-What do you think the clothes

-in your wardrobe say about you?

-They're full and they're colourful.

-They echo my life.

-Your life story is in that wardrobe?

-Your life story is in that wardrobe?

-

-Yes, and more to come, I hope.

-More wardrobes and more jumpers.

-Leah Jones loves the 1960s.

-The contents of her wardrobe

-is dominated by that period.

-It's clear you adore the 1960s.

-What do you find

-so appealing about it?

-It started with the clothes.

-I then did

-an art project at school...

-..and I became more aware of the

-furniture and art work of the 1960s.

-I really love the feel

-and the vibe of the whole period.

-You found a chest full of your

-mother's clothes from the 1960s.

-Yes, and it was great to find

-so many lovely items of clothing.

-They were

-a part of my mother's history...

-..and now,

-they're a part of my future.

-You found all these in the chest?

-You found all these in the chest?

-

-Yes, that's right.

-My mother made all these clothes,

-in the 1960s.

-She couldn't afford to buy clothes,

-so she made them herself.

-When we think of the 1960s,

-we think of the mini dress.

-Goodness me, it's tiny!

-Goodness me, it's tiny!

-

-Yes, and the waist is tiny, too.

-I don't know

-where she wore this suit...

-..but I know this bag went with it.

-The other items in her collection

-are day-to-day clothes.

-This is smarter.

-Do you wear these?

-No, they're a smidge too small

-for me!

-This is quite girly.

-Yes, it's like

-a little girl's dress.

-Your mother made these clothes, but

-she bought the clothes over there.

-Yes, that's right.

-My mother wore this suit

-to a wedding years ago.

-I've a photo of her

-holding my sister's hand.

-She was holding that camera, too.

-Ponchos were back in fashion

-very recently.

-Yes. She bought that at the

-Anna Davies shop in Betws-y-Coed.

-I've a photo of Mam wearing it

-and holding me in her arms.

-It has sentimental value for me,

-but I do wear it, in winter.

-This is a Marks and Spencer dress.

-They were called St Michael

-back then.

-Mam had tartan shoes and a bag

-to match this dress.

-It doesn't fit me

-but I'm really fond of it.

-It's a real shame, but that's life.

-Did you stand out from the crowd,

-at school?

-Yes. Everyone knew

-I wore unusual clothes...

-..and had an unusual hairstyle.

-That's been true since I was young.

-I spent time in charity shops

-picking out unusual clothes.

-It's part of my personality.

-I can't explain it.

-There's a lot of stuff on the bed.

-There's a lot of stuff on the bed.

-

-Yes, indeed.

-Where shall we start?

-Where shall we start?

-

-With the bags?

-Where shall we start?

-

-With the bags?

-

-OK.

-These are my mother's bags.

-The bamboo bag, the green bag

-and the brown bag.

-Look at the old-fashioned clasp.

-Yes. There's another one here.

-This was Mam's make-up bag.

-This was Mam's make-up bag.

-

-Oh, great!

-This was Mam's make-up bag.

-

-Oh, great!

-

-Isn't it lovely?

-They don't make things like that,

-any more.

-That really is great.

-These are the bags

-I bought in charity shops.

-This is one of my favourites.

-It's silver on one side...

-..but it's fully reversible.

-I love those white beads.

-Are any of these clothes your own?

-Yes. These -

-they have a 1960s feel to them.

-I bought this

-in a small shop in Denbigh.

-The target pattern

-has strong 1960s overtones.

-You see it

-in Andy Warhol works of art.

-Art is important to you, isn't it?

-Art is important to you, isn't it?

-

-Yes, I love art.

-I've noticed lots of 1960s pictures

-around the house.

-Yes, they're everywhere!

-This jumper?

-This jumper?

-

-I bought it in a second-hand shop.

-I loved the colours -

-purple and yellow.

-I have a matching item here.

-I once went on an ugly pub crawl.

-I once went on an ugly pub crawl.

-

-An ugly clothes pub crawl?

-I once went on an ugly pub crawl.

-

-An ugly clothes pub crawl?

-

-Yes, you had to wear something ugly.

-One girl was wearing this,

-and I said, "I've got to have it!"

-It matched my jumper, you see.

-She wore this

-because she thought it was ugly.

-But you had it in your wardrobe!

-She couldn't believe I'd have

-something like this in my wardrobe.

-I grabbed this

-and now, I have a set.

-Will you add to your collection?

-Will you add to your collection?

-

-Yes, I think so.

-I'll keep going to charity shops and

-pick up items which catch my eye.

-Will you still wear bright colours

-when you're in your 70s?

-Will you wear PVC in your old age?

-I may tone it down but

-I'll still wear different clothes.

-I don't want to follow the crowd

-and I hope that doesn't happen.

-Some people keep a diary

-but I have my clothes.

-I look at clothes and remember where

-I wore them or for what programme.

-Memories come flooding back.

-That's partly

-why I kept all these clothes.

-She's been a television presenter

-for 23 years...

-..and Angharad Mair's wardrobe

-is full of memories.

-You have more than one wardrobe.

-Yes, I have a wardrobe in my room,

-a wardrobe in my daughters' room...

-..and another wardrobe

-in the spare room.

-There are clothes under the bed in

-the fourth bedroom and in the attic.

-How has your style changed

-over the years?

-I don't have a real style.

-I'm not one of those lucky people

-who has a unique style.

-My style is directly related to

-the work I'm doing at the time.

-Why did you keep everything?

-I made the mistake of thinking

-they'd come back into fashion.

-That's rarely true.

-I'm really fond of my clothes,

-and that's another reason.

-I find it really hard to give

-clothes to charity, as I should.

-I feel I'd lose a part of myself

-if I got rid of them.

-This is one of your wardrobes,

-Angharad.

-This is the spare room wardrobe,

-where I keep my newsreader jackets.

-They're all a similar shape.

-They're all a similar shape.

-

-But they're different colours.

-Yes, that's true. They're colourful.

-They're very much

-jackets of their time.

-These two jackets are Mondi.

-I wore a lot of Mondi.

-The buttons

-give the jackets a military look.

-Was there a Mondi shop?

-Did you go to London to buy them?

-No, Howells in Cardiff sold Mondi

-and so did a shop on Wellfield Road.

-I bought this jacket...

-..to present the BBC carol service

-at St David's Hall.

-Again, it's a military-style jacket.

-This style is fashionable

-at the moment.

-The double breast and the collar

-are very much the in-thing.

-Some of these jackets

-are very expensive.

-I paid for them myself.

-There was no such thing

-as a BBC clothes allowance.

-I look at them now

-and I think, "Wow!"

-The colour attracted me to a jacket.

-I bought some of the jackets

-in sales.

-This is an Escada jacket.

-I bought it in the sale.

-I couldn't afford the full price.

-If I wear this now,

-it feels completely wonderful...

-..because it's an expensive jacket.

-The biggest change which has

-happened to jackets is the cut.

-Everything was so big.

-Everything was so big.

-

-Your size hasn't changed at all?

-No. This is really long and loose.

-Jackets nowadays are tight,

-like your jacket.

-I find it hard to believe

-I wore these jackets.

-You're a famous name

-and a famous face.

-Do you feel under pressure

-to look good...

-..even if you're

-just going shopping?

-No, not at all.

-I don't feel under pressure

-to look a certain way.

-I wear very little make-up

-outside of the studio.

-A woman once came up to me

-in Tesco's and said...

-.."Angharad Mair! You look rough."

-I felt awful at that moment

-but I've never felt any pressure.

-I was an athlete for years

-and I wore tracksuits all the time.

-I lived in a different world

-where clothes were irrelevant.

-Do these usually live in the attic,

-Angharad?

-Yes, and yet, these are

-some of my favourite clothes.

-This is massive!

-These are proper shoulder pads!

-I wore clothes like this to present

-the National Eisteddfod...

-..and the Llangollen Eisteddfod.

-I bought this in Rigout, Llandeilo.

-This is the dress.

-Massive!

-You wore a tablecloth

-with the dress!

-Or a bib!

-Yes, that's right - a bib.

-There's a Jasper Conran here,

-somewhere.

-This is a perfect example

-of the way clothes have changed.

-This is a size 8 dress

-but it looks like a size 16.

-I'm still a size 8 but people would

-be shocked to see me wear this.

-They used so much material,

-even in a summer dress.

-This is really, really crazy.

-This wasn't an expensive jacket.

-I bought it the first time I had to

-read the news on Christmas Day.

-I decided to wow

-the people at home...

-..since I had to appear

-on television on Christmas Day.

-I bought it and I wore this jacket

-to read the news on Christmas Day...

-..sometime in the 1980s.

-Welcome back.

-Let's discuss car insurance.

-Twm Morus and his harp.

-Appearing in Theatr Taliesin

-tonight.

-First, tonight...

-When you're in that seat,

-you control Radio Cymru, don't you?

-From what period

-are the clothes in here?

-I keep clothes from the early years

-of HENO in this chest of drawers.

-I changed my image completely,

-from my news-reading days.

-People had to see

-a marked difference.

-I used to buy

-massive, baggy jumpers.

-There were shoulder pads in them.

-There were shoulder pads in them.

-

-They were even bigger!

-They're expensive makes.

-They're expensive makes.

-

-Yes.

-Most of these are Mondi.

-I bought them

-at David Evans, Swansea.

-The shoulder pads are in this.

-This was the HENO style.

-What about designers and shops?

-Do you buy designer clothes

-or do you go for cheaper options?

-There is one shop

-which I couldn't live without...

-..and that's Karen Millen.

-I first found

-a Karen Millen shop in London...

-..and realised they sold all

-the clothes I needed for TV work.

-They're clothes which suit me

-and which fit me like a glove.

-Another jam-packed wardrobe.

-I bet this is the same.

-I bet this is the same.

-

-This is my work clothes' wardrobe.

-I bet this is the same.

-I stand here and decide what

-I'll wear for tonight's programme.

-Lots of Karen Millen.

-Yes, there are several

-Karen Millen dresses in there.

-This dress and that top

-are Karen Millen, too.

-You should get commission!

-You should get commission!

-

-I'd love it.

-I've spotted a Chanel label.

-I've spotted a Chanel label.

-

-Yes, this is very special.

-My husband gave this to me

-as a 40th birthday present.

-I think everyone should have

-a special treat when they're 40.

-I didn't want a big party.

-We went to Paris for the weekend

-and this was my birthday present.

-I'll always treasure this outfit.

-Do you like clothes

-which make you feel feminine?

-Yes, I suppose I must do.

-My dresses are frilly and colourful.

-I have some expensive items, such as

-this Christian Lacroix dress...

-..and this Prada blouse.

-I only buy them

-when they're in a sale.

-This was 450 full price

-and I bought it for 60-something.

-It looks lovely on screen

-and the fabric is gorgeous.

-You like a bargain, then?

-You like a bargain, then?

-

-I'm obliged to like a bargain!

-Tucked away, among

-the flouncy dresses is a dark suit.

-Rules are made to be broken.

-This is proof positive that clothes

-do come back into fashion.

-I bought this to wear to a wedding

-when I was 21 years old.

-I now wear this suit when I

-attend business meetings in London.

-It still fits me perfectly

-and it still looks good.

-Would you say

-there's an emotional link...

-..between you and your clothes?

-Yes, there's an emotional link

-between me and my clothes.

-Maybe that's why I keep everything.

-I remember where I bought things,

-when I wore them...

-..and how I felt when I wore them.

-My life story is there,

-in my clothes.

-I have two daughters and my clothes

-have become more important to me.

-I feel I can pass on a piece of me

-and of my life to them...

-..through these clothes.

-I hope, one day,

-they'll enjoy wearing them, too.
