0:02:24 > 0:02:29- ..it's been an incredible career - so what's it been like reliving it?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- It's been pretty surreal - to be honest.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- It's been two years in the making - and I'm happy that I've done this.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- I've reflected - on my boxing career...
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- ..and listened to my kids - and family.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- You can see on the screen...
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- ..the special relationship with - my family and especially my Dad.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- The story is about Joe - and his career.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02- However, we also follow - his relationship with his father.
0:03:02 > 0:03:08- Their close bond is apparent - throughout the film.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- This film isn't just about boxing, - it's about family too.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- My father is the one who - motivated me when I was a teenager.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- When I wanted to quit - and do other things...
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- ..he was the one who gave me - the push I needed.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- Sometimes, we would fall out and - we were like an old married couple.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- We'd argue and make up constantly - because he's an Italian.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- He was the right trainer for me.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- He knew how to get to me and how to - motivate me, what to say and when.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Lovely right uppercut.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- It's all Calzaghe at the moment - but there's a long way to go.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- A little contentious smile - from Calzaghe.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- I can remember describing Calzaghe - as a promising star...
0:04:05 > 0:04:11- ..even before he stepped into - the ring professionally in 1993.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- He'd been an amateur boxer...
0:04:13 > 0:04:18- ..and won three ABA Championships in - three different weight categories...
0:04:19 > 0:04:20- ..within three years.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- He fought against Chris Eubank...
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- ..to win a WBO title - in his eighth bout.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- We had to wait...
0:04:34 > 0:04:40- ..until he went on to - win the IBF, WBA and WBC titles.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- We remember the previous - Welsh boxing heroes...
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- ..such as 'Peerless' Jim Driscoll, - Jimmy Wilde...
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- ..and those closer to my age - like Tommy Farr...
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- ..who followed Howard Winstone - and Colin Jones.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- However, it's only Joe - that has a pristine record.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06- Therefore, he's the best every boxer - to have come from Wales.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- The film won't just appeal - to a sports fan, but to anybody.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- It's an underdog story, a real life - Rocky story, except I don't lose!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- It looks like an amazing film.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Go and see it.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34- Have you bought - your Christmas jumper yet?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- There's a special day - on 18 December...
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- ..that encourages you - to wear a Christmas jumper...
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- ..in aid of Save The Children.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- The shops are full of colourful - and humorous knits.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Daf Wyn has a few suggestions.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- Christmas is just around the corner.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- It's turned chilly so we need - something thick and warm...
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- ..but something isn't quite right.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- That's better!
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- The festive jumpers - are back once again...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- ..and there's plenty of them.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- There are many just like me - who love wearing them.
0:06:24 > 0:06:30- We've come to showcase them - at Cardiff's Winter Wonderland.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- I like wearing Christmas jumpers.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38- This jumper has a sheep - and reminds me of the family farm.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- I've got a large collection - of jumpers.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- The one I'm wearing - reminds me of Father Christmas...
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- ..and I'll wear it on Christmas Day.

0:07:01 > 0:07:07- I enjoy wearing these jumpers, - especially if they have attachments.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- They are fun and get you - into the Christmas spirit.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- In my family, I'm the only one - who doesn't like sprouts.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23- I saw this jumper and had to buy it - as it's quite ironic.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- I like wearing them.
0:07:25 > 0:07:31- It's better when you're with friends - and everyone is wearing a jumper.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- The jumpers are a mixture - of the 2014 and 2015 collections...
0:07:39 > 0:07:40- ..from the high street.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Some of these jumpers light up - and have interesting designs...
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- ..but they'll also keep you warm - wherever you go.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54- There's no longer any shame - when we embrace the most absurd.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- At Christmas, - it's a case of anything goes.
0:07:57 > 0:08:03- People wear silly jumpers - and it makes others laugh.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08- The jumpers could be a - Christmas colour or Christmas theme.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- It's just important - to get into the festive spirit.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- They are more popular - because we're promoting them.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- You enjoy them.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- You enjoy them.- - Yes, too much!
0:08:21 > 0:08:27- I'd like to take this one home - so I can wear it on Christmas Day.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49- ..on the campus - of Bangor University.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- It cost 50 million to build.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- The centre will be called Pontio.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- As the name suggests...
0:16:00 > 0:16:05- ..its purpose is to bridge the gap - between the university and the city.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- It hasn't officially opened yet...
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- ..but here's a preview.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21- In 2012, work started on the - demolition of Theatr Gwynedd...
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- ..to make room for a new - arts and innovation centre.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- A year ago, I visited the site with - the world-famous singer Bryn Terfel.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- The new theatre takes his name.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39- # I'll send an angel - to protect you tonight
0:16:40 > 0:16:47- # I'll send an angel - to console you #
0:16:47 > 0:16:53- The building site has become - a striking home for the arts.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- The Pontio Centre is a building - that contains an array of elements.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04- It's part of the university - with excellent lecture halls...
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- ..offices for the Students' Union, - a cafe, bar and so on.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- There's also spaces for the public - to enjoy the arts.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- It bridges the gap - between the university...
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- ..and the city of Bangor.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26- It's wonderful that the building - is finally open.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31- I can't wait to see - the students and public...
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- ..use the site every day.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39- It's a massive six-storey building - with two theatres...
0:17:39 > 0:17:44- ..lecture halls, innovation centres, - a bar and restaurant.
0:17:44 > 0:17:50- It's a proud moment for those - involved in all the hard work.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- It's been interesting...
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- ..but I'm delighted - to see the end result.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- It's taken a while - but I'm happy with the way it looks.
0:18:01 > 0:18:07- The Memorial Arch and old university - building are both listed...
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- ..so this is a conservation area...
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- ..but we wanted a modern - and exciting building.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19- It's wonderful to see the way - it bridges the old and the new.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25- We wanted to bridge the gap between - the city and the university...
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- ..and Deiniol Road - and the old university building.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- We must remember the young people - who will use the building...
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- ..to learn, enjoy and discuss.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43- Yes, this is the new home - of the Students' Union.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- We can't wait - for the centre to open...
0:18:46 > 0:18:51- ..because the students will have - a union in the centre of Bangor.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56- It's easy to visit and easier for us - to campaign for our students.
0:18:56 > 0:19:02- Pontio will attract new students - thanks to its amazing facilities.
0:19:03 > 0:19:09- We're in talks about using the site - for various guest performers.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- It'll be very exciting - for new students.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- I love being on stage...
0:19:16 > 0:19:21- ..so had to see the finished - Bryn Terfel Theatre...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- ..and I wasn't disappointed.
0:19:25 > 0:19:31- It's a versatile theatre that - looks like a traditional theatre...
0:19:31 > 0:19:37- ..but it can change its form...
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- ..so the audience surround - the stage.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47- The floor can be flattened for a gig - for students and young people...
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- ..so it has real scope - and offers something for everyone.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57- It's important to appeal - to a varied audience.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- Bangor has students, young people - and the older generation.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- It's also for those who don't - normally visit the theatre...
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- ..but it's important - to appeal to them too.
0:20:12 > 0:20:18- I think it's been worth the wait - to have the opening of Pontio.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- It looks amazing - and good luck to you.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Have you foraged...
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- ..or searched for ingredients - out in the open...
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- ..to prepare a meal for free?
0:20:47 > 0:20:52- Prynhawn Da chef, Paj Jones - did exactly this last week...
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- ..and the results were delicious!
0:21:03 > 0:21:08- Foraging is great and I've come to - some woodlands in Cardiff to do it.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Everybody can go foraging.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16- It's free and all you need is a bowl - and you can go foraging.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Let's go and see what we can find.

0:21:31 > 0:21:37- Blackberries are everywhere, - in both rural and urban areas.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43- I pick the ones from the higher - branches as dogs walk on this path.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Make sure you wash them - before using them.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- I'm at a quiet spot - along the river...
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- ..and found some watercress.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- I can tell that it's watercress - because of the thick stalk...
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- ..and when you take a bite...
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- ..it has a peppery flavour.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14- It's delicious in a salad with - pomegranate and goat's cheese...
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- ..or it's great in a soup - for those cold days.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- I've had a successful morning.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- I've collected watercress - and blackberries.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- Let's head back to the kitchen - to see what I can create.
0:22:31 > 0:22:37- It's very important to wash anything - that you pick in the wild.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- I'm going to make some soup.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- I'm using one onion, two potatoes...
0:22:47 > 0:22:52- ..25g of butter - and some chicken stock.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- And the soup is ready.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- Garnish it with a simple - sprig of watercress and that's it.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- It's wild and tasty!
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Next, we'll make - some blackberry jam.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28- The blackberries have been washed - as they were picked in the wild.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- There's a simple recipe for jam.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- You need the same amount of sugar - as fruit.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- That's it.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- After twelve minutes...
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- ..the jam has reached setting point - and is ready for the pots.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55- The jars have been sterilized in - boiling water and ready for the jam.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04- The blackberry jam is ready - for my breakfast tomorrow morning.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- Mmm! Very tasty.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- I've got a question for you.

0:24:27 > 0:24:32- Father Christmas and Rudolph - don't appear on the stamps...
0:24:32 > 0:24:37- ..but animals - such as foxes and rabbits...
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- ..that boast fur and feathers.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45- Someone who is delighted to see - these animals having attention...
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- ..is 14-year-old Gruff - from Bronant near Aberystwyth.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- He's gained success - with showing chickens.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- My interest in keeping chickens...
0:25:00 > 0:25:06- ..started when I bought some - chickens from Pontrhydfendigaid.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12- I bought some before they were going - to the slaughter.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17- After this, I went to a local show - in Talybont and it grew from there.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25- I don't know why I started but - it was just something for me to do.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- They have food - and water every day...
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- ..and change the sawdust - every other day.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41- It's grown from there...

0:25:59 > 0:26:02- ..and the Cardigan Show.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10- It's great to see the Fur and - Feathers stamps by the Royal Mail.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- I don't think - they've done it before.
0:26:15 > 0:26:21- The Fur and Feathers stamps - are great and quite unique.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27- They look good and I'll buy them - as soon as I go to the Post Office.

0:32:35 > 0:32:39- You don't have to buy an outfit - especially for a party.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44- When you team items together, - they can work perfectly.
0:32:44 > 0:32:49- Don't buy new items as you may - have an item in the wardrobe...
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- ..to team with a sparkly top.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- We start with this fur coat.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00- My aim wasn't to showcase a fur coat - but it works great with this look.
0:33:00 > 0:33:06- It'll look perfect with - a black jumper or polo neck.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- Once the weather gets colder - and there's less rain...
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- ..you can wear it with - jeans and black boots.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- You can wear it with - a little black party dress.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- This look has a Sixties feel - with a lurex jumper.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Christine will slip off the coat.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- She's wearing a long-sleeve jumper.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33- The thick black banding - across the core area...
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- ..makes you look slimmer.
0:33:37 > 0:33:42- I've teamed it with - a leatherette or pvc skirt.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46- It's similar to Nia's - Marks and Spencer's skirt...
0:33:46 > 0:33:51- ..and is longer than - your average skirt.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- This is a different way - of wearing a skirt like this.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- We've glammed it up - with some black tights...
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- ..and conservative heels.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- That is lovely.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Next, we've had a fuss-free outfit.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- It's a jumpsuit from Monsoon.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16- The cuffs are decorated - with sparkly beads.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- It's sophisticated - and won't fall out of fashion.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- Team it with a fur coat - or a tailored jacket.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- It's 69 and very versatile.
0:34:29 > 0:34:35- It's a jumpsuit with a great length.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- I'm referring to its body length.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- Our model is tall but the length - of this garment is perfect.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- Wear it with some heels.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- I'm fond of jumpsuits...
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- ..but go to the toilet - before you slip it on...
0:34:55 > 0:35:00- ..or take a friend - who will help unzip you.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- There's only one button on this...
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- ..but it can be a bit fiddly!
0:35:07 > 0:35:13- If your party is on a Saturday, - have a practice run on the Friday!
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- Make sure it's wearable - when you're out and about.
0:35:17 > 0:35:22- It's fuss-free and crease-free too.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- Our final model is Nia.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29- I've kept this look very simple.
0:35:29 > 0:35:34- You don't have to buy anything - as it may all be in your wardrobe.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- This is a lurex jumper - which is not covered in sequins.
0:35:38 > 0:35:43- The fabric is fantastic and sparkly.
0:35:43 > 0:35:49- There aren't any chunky bracelets - or necklaces in sight!
0:35:49 > 0:35:55- Keep it simple before - we adorn any festive sparkles.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59- To ensure some comfort...
0:36:00 > 0:36:06- ..I've matched it with - brocade patterned leggings.
0:36:06 > 0:36:13- I'd team leggings with a jumper - and long blouse attached to it.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18- The pattern on these leggings - work perfectly with this look.
0:36:18 > 0:36:24- It's a conservative look - with a great bag and shoes.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29- The fringe on the bag - is a great touch.
0:36:29 > 0:36:35- You don't need too much sparkles as - something as retro as this can work.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40- You expect sparkly fashion to be - laden with diamonds and sequins...

0:41:35 > 0:41:38- ..with our florist, Kevin.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- Welcome. It's great to see you.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- You're adding a splash - of colour to our homes.
0:41:45 > 0:41:51- I want to show you - this first arrangement.
0:41:52 > 0:41:58- The weather for September - and October has been splendid.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01- It was even better than the summer!
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- It's been lovely.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09- The dry spell - has brought sunshine...
0:42:09 > 0:42:11- ..but not a lot of wind and rain.
0:42:12 > 0:42:17- As a result, - the leaves are a spectacular colour.
0:42:17 > 0:42:22- They also lasted - until last night's blustery weather.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Almost all of them - have fallen to the ground.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32- This arrangement reflects - the latter period of the season.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- I've included some berries...
0:42:37 > 0:42:41- ..as well as some beech leaves...
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- ..and various autumnal flowers...
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- ..to capture - the essence of the season.
0:42:48 > 0:42:53- I had a bunch of flowers yesterday - and it included these leaves.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- I thought it would be better - to buy cheap flowers...
0:42:58 > 0:43:02- ..and fetch leaves from the garden, - but it's not that simple!
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- Leaves play an important role - in our floral displays.
0:43:06 > 0:43:12- It's great that you had leaves as - some bouquets don't come with them.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16- I could've chosen the wrong leaves.
0:43:16 > 0:43:22- Maybe they wouldn't have matched - but well done for considering it.
0:43:22 > 0:43:27- The first arrangement - bids farewell to the autumn.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32- We've said goodbye to the autumn - and remembered for tomorrow...
0:43:32 > 0:43:37- ..but the Christmas adverts - are appearing on our screens now.

0:43:41 > 0:43:46- For this next display...
0:43:46 > 0:43:52- ..I've taken inspiration - from one particular shop.
0:43:52 > 0:43:58- All these shops want our money - at this time of year.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01- They offer inspiration for gifts.
0:44:01 > 0:44:05- I won't reveal the name of the shop.
0:44:05 > 0:44:10- The viewers can guess the advert.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14- It's meant to be out-of-this-world!
0:44:14 > 0:44:18- When I'll see the advert, - it'll shout out your name!
0:44:18 > 0:44:22- You'll say, - "Kevin, I remember you saying!"
0:44:22 > 0:44:28- I'm also fond of white - and green together.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32- It looks incredibly striking.
0:44:32 > 0:44:36- We've got lilies, senecio...
0:44:36 > 0:44:41- ..and some decorative - plastic leaves.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44- We've started to think - about Christmas.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46- Over the years...
0:44:47 > 0:44:51- ..people have invested in - artificial Christmas trees.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54- Some of them are quite expensive.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56- Some of them are quite expensive.- - They're not cheap.
0:44:56 > 0:45:02- They fold and push them into a box - and banish them to the attic.
0:45:02 > 0:45:08- In the coming weeks, - it'll be time to bring the tree out.
0:45:09 > 0:45:14- But it's become fashionable - to swap your artificial tree...
0:45:15 > 0:45:18- ..for a real Christmas tree.
0:45:18 > 0:45:24- But how can you transform - an artificial tree into a real tree?
0:45:24 > 0:45:27- It's simple!
0:45:27 > 0:45:33- Pull your tree out the box - and assemble all the branches.
0:45:33 > 0:45:37- It never looks perfect!
0:45:37 > 0:45:43- Then, position some - eucalyptus leaves in the tree.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45- The plant has a lovely aroma.
0:45:46 > 0:45:51- I'll also add some red berries.
0:45:51 > 0:45:56- I'll start by arranging the leaves.
0:45:57 > 0:46:02- You can swap so-called baubles - for leaves...
0:46:02 > 0:46:05- ..or maybe use both.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09- I can smell the eucalyptus. - It's lovely.
0:46:09 > 0:46:13- It's made a huge difference - to the tree.
0:46:13 > 0:46:19- Position the eucalyptus - among the branches.
0:46:19 > 0:46:25- It'll transform something fake, - artificial and plastic-looking...
0:46:25 > 0:46:31- ..into something that - looks a lot more natural.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34- We've just added the eucalyptus.
0:46:35 > 0:46:39- The leaves are eye-catching - and takes away the fakeness.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43- I've also got some berries.
0:46:43 > 0:46:49- You can purchase - these style of berries in the shops.
