-Good evening and welcome

-to a brand-new series...

-..on S4C called Cythrel Canu.

-Our famous and mischievous

-singing captains...

-..are ready to entertain us...

-..namely,

-Elin Manahan Thomas and Aled Hall.

-Our keyboard genius...

-..ready with musical challenges

-for the teams, is Geraint Cynan.

-I'm ready, Huw.

-Joining Aled tonight

-is the singer and presenter...

-..who brought Anita, Cameron Jenkins

-and Sioned Grug with her.

-I'm sure she'll be brilliant,

-Caryl Parry Jones!

-Brilliant, superb and alright,

-obviously.

-Joining Aled and Caryl

-is Mr Duw himself, Cleif Harpwood.

-Ready to challenge them...

-..Elin Manahan Thomas has stolen

-two of Wales' three tenors.

-They're mine tonight!

-Rhys Meirion and Aled Wyn Davies

-will do their best...

-..to hit the high notes without

-their loud third tenor.

-Let's get on with the first round,

-the general questions round.

-Everyone's ready,

-fingers on buzzers.

-Who is the originator

-of scat singing in jazz music?

-Louis Armstrong.

-Louis Armstrong.

-

-Correct.

-In what year did Radio 1 start?

-1962.

-You're in the right decade.

-It's not the exact year.

-Aled's team, over to you.

-It's around 50 years old,

-so let's say 1966.

-Was it 1966?

-You're a year off, it's 1967.

-It's 50 years old this year.

-The first broadcast

-was 30 September 1967.

-I told you he was a genius.

-Next question.

-Listen to this sound clip.

-William Tell Overture - Rossini

-What's the piece called?

-William Tell.

-Correct. It's the

-William Tell Overture by Rossini.

-For an extra point, can you tell us

-what famous TV programme used it?

-Aled's team was first. No arguing.

-High ho, silver!

-The Lone Ranger.

-The Lone Ranger.

-

-Correct.

-Look at the screens in front of you.

-Can you tell us

-which artist we've blurred out?

-Bryn Fon!

-Bryn Fon is correct.

-Well done Elin's team.

-Which instrument represents

-the duck in Peter and the Wolf?

-The oboe.

-The oboe.

-

-Correct.

-Having children is useful!

-Who wrote the words for the musical,

-Jesus Christ Superstar?

-Tim Rice.

-You're right, Andrew Lloyd Webber

-did the music.

-For the last question in this round

-look at your screens again.

-Dennis O'Neill

-singing Nessun Dorma.

-What sporting occasion

-made the piece world famous?

-The 1990 Football World Cup

-in Italy.

-Absolutely, right, well done,

-Rhys Meirion.

-A football supporter, clearly.

-We have three tenors here!

-# Vincero

-# Vincero #

-In the next round, true or false,

-we're hoping Aled's team...

-..can tell which of Elin's team

-is telling the truth.

-Elin, what is this week's fact?

-My fact is that I've publicly

-sung a song about my little willy.

-The other team can ask

-Rhys, Elin or Aled any question.

-Rhys...

-..you probably

-sing this song quite often.

-How do you know?

-Where did you sing it?

-In La Boheme,

-during the fourth act...

-..Rodolpho and Marcello

-have argued with their lovers.

-Because you've got little willies?

-I have a line "Che penna infame!"

-I grab a pen and I throw it.

-I've lost my mojo

-because of the argument.

-One time, I forgot the double n

-in Penna and I sang it wrong.

-That changes the meaning

-from a pen to a willy!

-Elin, would you mind singing us

-the song about a little willy?

-I would, but it's a bawdy song

-by Henry Purcell.

-The tune is fine.

-# Di, di, di, di, di,

-di, di, di, di, di, argh

-# Di, di, di, di, di,

-di, di, di, di, di, socks

-Oh, what's next?

-You've clearly sung this song.

-Was it at a concert?

-Yes, as it happens.

-I've sung it in concerts and I won

-at a national eisteddfod with it.

-At which Eisteddfod?

-At which Eisteddfod?

-

-A Young Farmers' Eisteddfod.

-Aled's team, who do you think

-is telling the truth?

-Yes, that makes sense,

-but then so does...

-Yeah...

-They're confused.

-They're confused.

-

-La Boheme?

-He's always forgetting words.

-Go on then, yes.

-Go on then, yes.

-

-We're going for Rhys Meirion.

-Let's see, Rhys,

-are you telling the truth?

-Aaah!

-Rhys was lying.

-It's nothing to do with the opera.

-It's between Elin and Aled. Who's

-telling the truth and who's lying?

-Aled Wyn Davies!

-It was too obvious, we thought.

-It was a comic duet contest at the

-Young Farmers' Eisteddfod in 1999.

-# My Willy is gorgeous,

-my Willy is cute

-# I won my Willy at the fair

-# Every day, I hold it in my hand

-and give it a tickle

-# I'll go nowhere without my Willy,

-my little goldfish #

-True story!

-We move on to the next round.

-We've mixed up the tune of

-a famous song with different lyrics.

-Aled's team are first this week.

-What do you have for them, Ger?

-Your job is to

-sing the words of Calon Lan...

-..to the tune of

-Chwarae'n Troi'n Chwerw.

-That's the effort from Aled Hall's

-team for this week.

-What's facing Elen's team, Ger?

-You're singing the lyrics of

-Lawr Ar Lan Y Mor to the tune of...

-..this should suit you, Aled,

-Old MacDonald Had A Farm.

-There we go, both teams

-have had a go in the final round.

-I enjoyed the sounds

-coming from this side.

-Natural noises.

-Aled's team did have an advantage.

-It was a bit sour, musically.

-Come on, now.

-This is how it currently stands.

-Elin's team get 8 points,

-Aled's team get 7 points.

-As we head to the break...

-..the current scores

-are Elin 12-13 Aled.

-It's close!

-It's very close. That's it for now.

-Join us in a few moments

-for more from Cythrel Canu.

-in a dark room for a few minutes.

-My older brother plays the violin.

-Gareth, my second brother

-We can all do that!

-Let's start with Aled's team.

-They were a bit cautious

-at the start.

-We were in shock from the tempo!

-I thought it was set at 33.

-What would you give them out of ten?

-A generous seven.

-He's a miserly judge tonight!

-How about Elin's team?

-They were more confident.

-But still, they weren't with

-the music when it came back in.

-Elin's team out of ten?

-I'd give them eight.
