0:00:180:00:22

-As you can see, Christmas

-has arrived at the Bore Da studio.

0:00:230:00:27

-Only 19 days remain

-until the big day.

0:00:270:00:31

-Before 11.30am, we'll dive

-straight into the Christmas spirit.

0:00:310:00:37

-Daf Wyn will enjoy himself

-on the pantomime stage.

0:00:380:00:41

-We prove that you don't need to

-spend a fortune on the perfect gift.

0:00:410:00:46

-We take a behind the scenes look

-at S4C's Christmas advertisement.

0:00:460:00:51

-Gruff Sion Rees will also

-perform a Christmas song.

0:00:510:00:55

-Sit back and enjoy Bore Da.

0:00:560:00:58

-The Christmas period

-is pantomime season.

0:01:030:01:08

-There's one special pantomime

-currently touring Wales.

0:01:080:01:12

-The pantomime tells the story

-of one of the Mabinogi tales.

0:01:120:01:16

-Daf Wyn visited the dress rehearsal.

0:01:160:01:19

-Cwmni Mega has staged

-Welsh pantomimes for 26 years.

0:01:210:01:27

-The cast, set and venues

-change annually...

0:01:270:01:31

-..but the iconic productions

-continue to please its audience.

0:01:310:01:36

-This year, Melltith y Brenin Lludd

-is set in the Mabinogion.

0:01:360:01:41

-Oh, no it's not!

0:01:410:01:44

-It isn't strictly a pantomime

-but has elements of the pantomime.

0:01:460:01:51

-In recent years, we've looked more

-towards the Mabinogion.

0:01:510:01:55

-I like the fact that young people

-learn about Welsh history.

0:01:560:02:01

-It's called Melltith y Brenin Lludd

-and takes us to the Mabiniogion.

0:02:040:02:09

-I play Brenin Lludd.

0:02:090:02:12

-The country has been cursed by

-the dwarves so he's battling those.

0:02:120:02:17

-Coran is the evil witch...

0:02:170:02:21

-..played superbly by Lisa Marged.

0:02:210:02:25

-I play Coran, queen of the dwarves

-who is also a witch.

0:02:270:02:33

-I play Arianrhod

-who falls in love with Brenin Lludd.

0:02:330:02:37

-There's a brilliant relationship

-between members of the cast.

0:02:400:02:45

-We have as much fun onstage

-as we do off it!

0:02:460:02:49

-We get on well.

0:02:490:02:51

-We get on well.

-

-Yes... oh, no we don't!

0:02:510:02:53

-I play two characters,

-namely Gwrhyr and Poli the parrot.

0:02:540:02:59

-Eurfyl plays Jaci Joc...

0:02:590:03:02

-..and I'm his sidekick.

0:03:020:03:06

-I don't know why we have to play

-these strange characters.

0:03:060:03:10

-Everyone else gets grand costumes

-and we get a rag on our heads.

0:03:110:03:16

-It's like a nappy!

0:03:160:03:19

-What's it like to perform

-in various venues around Britain?

0:03:210:03:26

-Performing in the same show

-on the same stage...

0:03:260:03:31

-..can get a little stale.

0:03:310:03:35

-Moving venues means

-that we have different audiences...

0:03:350:03:39

-..so we have to adapt

-our performances.

0:03:390:03:44

-It's a fantastic cast who

-work very hard and I admire them.

0:03:440:03:48

-Two shows a day is a tall order...

0:03:480:03:51

-..but it's worth it when you see the

-young people singing and dancing.

0:03:510:03:57

-Why wouldn't you want to see

-a pantomime at Christmas?

0:04:000:04:05

-It's a great way to get the family

-out of the house.

0:04:050:04:08

-It's so much fun and I always laugh

-in the pantomime.

0:04:080:04:14

-I have to bite my lip

-to stop myself from laughing.

0:04:140:04:17

-There's lots of jokes, singing

-and dancing so come and see us.

0:04:170:04:23

-Yes, come and see us

-because it's great!

0:04:230:04:27

-The pantomime locations can be found

-on the website www.cwmnimega.com

0:04:300:04:36

-Before the end

-of the programme...

0:04:360:04:39

-..we'll also hear about

-the Dacw Mam yn Dwad pantomime.

0:04:390:04:44

-Ten years ago,

-Les Barker decided to learn Welsh.

0:04:440:04:50

-Eight years ago, he began writing

-Welsh alliterative stanzas.

0:04:500:04:54

-Since then,

-Les has written many Welsh poems...

0:04:550:04:58

-..and has competed

-in numerous Eisteddfods.

0:04:580:05:02

-Recently, he won his first Chair

-at the Llandyfaelog Eisteddfod.

0:05:020:05:07

-Les visited

-the Prynhawn Da studio...

0:05:070:05:10

-..to discuss this

-unforgettable experience.

0:05:100:05:13

-Why did you choose

-to learn the Welsh language?

0:05:130:05:18

-I decided to learn the language

-before moving to Wales.

0:05:180:05:22

-I've witnessed the impact

-the English language has had...

0:05:220:05:26

-..on America and Australia.

0:05:270:05:29

-Learning the Welsh language

-was the right thing to do.

0:05:290:05:33

-Did you come to Wales

-because you liked the language?

0:05:330:05:36

-No, I came to Wales because I

-had noisy neighbours in Manchester.

0:05:370:05:42

-Wales was a better place to live.

0:05:420:05:45

-Wales is an incredible

-place to live.

0:05:450:05:49

-I have a great view

-from my home in Bwlchgwyn.

0:05:490:05:54

-After moving to Wales

-from Manchester...

0:05:540:05:58

-..how long did it take for you

-to learn the language?

0:05:580:06:02

-I was very busy

-during the first two years.

0:06:020:06:06

-After that,

-I became a serious learner.

0:06:060:06:10

-Did you find it easy?

0:06:100:06:12

-No, not at all.

0:06:120:06:15

-The first two years

-were very difficult.

0:06:150:06:18

-The beginning

-can be hard for any learner.

0:06:180:06:21

-You forget the different things

-that you learn every week.

0:06:220:06:26

-There was so much

-that I wanted to say...

0:06:260:06:29

-..which I can say in English.

0:06:290:06:34

-I felt like a young baby.

0:06:340:06:39

-You're a poet.

0:06:390:06:43

-Yes, I've been

-a paid poet since 1975.

0:06:430:06:48

-You've been very successful.

0:06:480:06:52

-What type of poetry do you write

-in the English language?

0:06:520:06:58

-I write about a variety

-of different things.

0:06:580:07:02

-Occasionally, I have something

-serious to say...

0:07:020:07:05

-..and other times I have an odd idea

-that offers another theme.

0:07:050:07:11

-I started writing poetry

-whilst listening to The Goon Show.

0:07:110:07:17

-That is how I think.

0:07:170:07:20

-I usually start with one odd idea...

0:07:200:07:26

-..and add rational thoughts

-or ideas.

0:07:260:07:31

-After learning Welsh...

0:07:320:07:34

-..you learnt to do

-Welsh alliterative stanzas.

0:07:350:07:39

-It can be very difficult to learn.

0:07:390:07:43

-How did you get on with it

-in the early days?

0:07:430:07:46

-Again, it was incredibly difficult.

0:07:470:07:50

-I started by buying a copy of

-Mererid Hopwood's Singing in Chains.

0:07:500:07:55

-For a long time, I worked alone.

0:07:550:07:58

-I then started to attend classes

-with John Glyn in Mold.

0:07:580:08:04

-He was great.

0:08:050:08:07

-You wrote a piece to win the Chair

-at the Llandyfaelog Eisteddfod.

0:08:070:08:12

-Do you have it with you?

0:08:120:08:13

-Do you have it with you?

-

-It's in my pocket.

0:08:130:08:15

-Would you like to share it with us?

0:08:150:08:17

-Give us a taster.

0:08:180:08:19

-What was the theme?

0:08:190:08:23

-The theme was new ground.

0:08:240:08:26

-I discussed the language

-as new ground.

0:08:260:08:29

-Could you read a line or two for us?

0:08:290:08:31

-You've been keeping it safe.

0:08:320:08:35

-We have a photograph of you

-after your win.

0:08:350:08:39

-Let's hear some of the winning poem.

0:08:400:08:43

-The beginning of the poem is

-about the difficulty as a learner.

0:08:430:08:47

-"As you examine in advance

0:08:470:08:50

-"This is a lump of a place

0:08:510:08:53

-"There are thousands of paths

0:08:530:08:58

-"I'll journey around the grammar

-of our language over and over again

0:08:580:09:04

-"The land of my mutations

0:09:040:09:06

-"Pure confusion in a land so pure

0:09:060:09:09

-"For the boy from outside

0:09:090:09:12

-"There is no way of communicating"

0:09:120:09:14

-That is fantastic.

0:09:150:09:16

-I would have no idea

-where to begin writing poetry.

0:09:170:09:21

-The chief bard of this year's

-Eisteddfod, Hywel was the judge.

0:09:210:09:26

-I've known Hywel

-for a number of years.

0:09:260:09:29

-I've competed against Hywel in

-different contests over the years.

0:09:290:09:35

-Before he married...

0:09:350:09:38

-..his partner,

-Alaw used to live in Mold...

0:09:380:09:44

-..and worked for

-Menter Iaith Sir Y Fflint.

0:09:440:09:47

-You've won a Chair at the

-Llandyfaelog Eisteddfod...

0:09:470:09:52

-..and you've won

-many prizes as a learner.

0:09:520:09:56

-However, this competition differs...

0:09:560:09:59

-..as it was a contest

-for fluent Welsh speakers...

0:09:590:10:03

-..and you won.

0:10:040:10:05

-Yes, I was shocked to win.

0:10:060:10:10

-I spent three years

-without winning anything...

0:10:100:10:16

-..after leaving the learners stage.

0:10:160:10:20

-I hoped that I would improve.

0:10:200:10:22

-This year, I'd started to win

-competitions for my poems...

0:10:220:10:26

-..and now I have won the Chair.

0:10:260:10:28

-You should enter to win the

-National Eisteddfod Chair next.

0:10:290:10:33

-Congratulations.

0:10:330:10:34

-Congratulations.

-

-Thank you.

0:10:340:10:36

-Well done, Les.

0:10:370:10:38

-You've proved

-that it's worth keeping at it.

0:10:390:10:42

-Have you seen

-S4C's Christmas advert?

0:10:420:10:46

-If not, here's a taster.

0:10:460:10:49

-Yes, it's worth seeing.

0:10:500:10:51

-# If I could tell Grandad

0:11:000:11:07

-# That men have walked on the moon

0:11:090:11:17

-# He'd find it hard to believe

0:11:180:11:26

-# That man had gone so far

0:11:260:11:30

-# So far

0:11:300:11:35

-# But there you go,

-it's a strange old world

0:11:350:11:42

-# If I could tell Grandma

0:11:440:11:52

-# That our scientists say

-there are stars beyond the stars

0:11:520:12:01

-# She'd find it hard to believe

0:12:010:12:06

-# That man had seen so far

0:12:060:12:12

-# So far

0:12:130:12:18

-# But there you go,

-it's a strange old world

0:12:180:12:25

-# That's not how it used to be

0:12:280:12:35

-# No

0:12:370:12:40

-# Things were better

0:12:400:12:43

-# Back then

0:12:440:12:50

-# But maybe it's me

-who's old fashioned

0:12:520:13:00

-# Only one star

0:13:010:13:05

-# One star

0:13:050:13:09

-# Only one star

0:13:100:13:14

-# Mattered to us

0:13:140:13:17

-# Only one star

0:13:180:13:22

-# High above Bethlehem

0:13:220:13:27

-# Only one star

0:13:270:13:30

-# Caught our eye

0:13:310:13:34

-# Only one star

0:13:350:13:40

-# One star

0:13:400:13:48

-# Only one star mattered

0:13:480:13:53

-# To us #

0:13:530:13:59

-S4C is glistening this Christmas.

0:14:000:14:05

-That was lovely.

0:14:050:14:07

-It's not without great planning

-do you make an advertisement.

0:14:070:14:12

-This is a sneak peek of the

-hard work behind the scenes.

0:14:120:14:16

-It's the story of a seven-year-old

-boy who likes astronomy.

0:14:210:14:26

-One day at school, he's about to get

-a gold star for his work...

0:14:270:14:32

-..but there aren't any stars left

-so his life is over!

0:14:320:14:35

-He's distraught so Taid

-does his best to boost his spirits.

0:14:360:14:40

-I don't really know

-how to describe Gwil.

0:14:400:14:46

-He's very mischievous.

0:14:460:14:50

-His hands are everywhere.

0:14:520:14:55

-He's a great actor

-with so much confidence...

0:14:560:14:59

-..but he gets bored easily and

-doesn't want to keep doing things.

0:14:590:15:05

-I'm very sad because

-I haven't had a star at school.

0:15:050:15:10

-I'm looking forward

-to seeing myself on television.

0:15:100:15:14

-I've been here a lot

-and this is my fifth time now.

0:15:140:15:18

-The children love it

-and as their headmaster...

0:15:180:15:22

-..I'm proud that Llangadog School

-is part of the advert.

0:15:230:15:27

-It will be shown on television

-from 4 December.

0:15:280:15:32

-I hope the song makes people smile

-and possibly shed a tear...

0:15:320:15:37

-..and put them

-in the mood for Christmas.

0:15:370:15:40

-Cut!

0:15:400:15:41

-The children of Llangadog are stars.

0:15:440:15:49

-That's it for the first half.

0:15:490:15:51

-After the break...

0:15:520:15:53

-..we have tips on how to choose

-the perfect gifts for under 10.

0:15:530:15:58

-I'll also be chatting to the winner

-of the 2015 Cariad@iaith...

0:15:580:16:04

-..singer and actress,

-Caroline Sheen.

0:16:040:16:07

-See you in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

0:16:220:16:23

-You don't need to spend a fortune

-on Christmas gifts.

0:16:240:16:27

-It's possible to buy

-the perfect gift for under 10.

0:16:270:16:31

-Here's a few tips

-from Ellen Llewellyn.

0:16:310:16:34

-Let's begin with these.

0:16:350:16:36

-Children love gifts

-that include their name.

0:16:370:16:41

-These items are available

-from Igam Ogam in Llandeilo.

0:16:410:16:45

-They have lovely t-shirts

-which are available for 10.

0:16:450:16:51

-The plastic cups are great

-and they only cost 5.

0:16:510:16:56

-You can give it those children

-who are learning to use a cup.

0:16:560:17:02

-My children have always

-loved these items.

0:17:020:17:05

-You can make life

-much easier for yourself...

0:17:060:17:09

-..by ordering a DVD online.

0:17:090:17:12

-Children of all ages

-love to receive a DVD.

0:17:120:17:16

-Minions, Cinderella and Inside Out

-are very popular this year.

0:17:160:17:21

-You will find DVDs for 10 or less

-if you shop around.

0:17:210:17:27

-Technology and iPads

-are a big thing these days.

0:17:270:17:32

-If you know a child will receive

-an iPad, why not buy them a case.

0:17:320:17:38

-The pink case in front of us

-will bounce if it falls.

0:17:380:17:42

-It's childproof.

0:17:420:17:44

-I know how important

-these safety items are.

0:17:440:17:47

-Every child likes arts and crafts.

0:17:480:17:51

-This colouring bag is 3.99

-from Home Bargains.

0:17:510:17:56

-Children can use this bag

-for school...

0:17:560:17:59

-..and they can colour it in

-themselves.

0:17:590:18:03

-Crayons are also a great gift.

0:18:030:18:05

-If you hope to travel over

-Christmas, a set like this is great.

0:18:050:18:11

-You can keep them all together

-in this case at home.

0:18:110:18:15

-Yes, especially after Christmas.

0:18:150:18:18

-Jigsaws and wooden toys are great

-gift ideas for small children.

0:18:180:18:23

-The toys will also look great

-in their bedrooms.

0:18:230:18:26

-We have a great collection

-of these toys at the front.

0:18:270:18:31

-These are from Eve's Toy Shop

-in Llandeilo.

0:18:310:18:34

-These toys are educational.

0:18:340:18:36

-Books are educational too.

0:18:370:18:39

-I don't have many books here

-but children love books.

0:18:390:18:43

-These days, you can get some great

-Welsh books for under 5 these days.

0:18:430:18:49

-I think Guto would like some

-of the wooden toys.

0:18:500:18:53

-There are cars and a plane.

0:18:530:18:55

-The wooden plane is 8.99

-from Eve's Top Shop in Llandeilo.

0:18:550:19:00

-Some of the wooden toys cost 5.

0:19:010:19:05

-Many children

-like to collect things.

0:19:050:19:08

-My daughter, Molly has asked

-for a Sylvanian Families house.

0:19:080:19:12

-Sylvanian Families

-were popular when I was a child.

0:19:120:19:16

-The collections

-can be very expensive.

0:19:160:19:19

-I've told my daughter that she

-should ask other family members...

0:19:190:19:24

-..for the collections

-to add to the house.

0:19:240:19:27

-You can get great things

-such as this washing machine set.

0:19:270:19:31

-The animals also cost under 7.

0:19:310:19:33

-If a child likes to collect...

0:19:330:19:37

-..you can ask the parents

-what they need.

0:19:370:19:43

-Next, we move on

-to Star Wars and Frozen.

0:19:430:19:47

-These items are everywhere!

0:19:470:19:49

-I thought that everyone would be fed

-up with Frozen after last year...

0:19:500:19:54

-..but I was wrong.

0:19:540:19:56

-I have the CD in the car.

0:19:570:19:59

-Here we have some great socks.

0:19:590:20:01

-Children love to have socks with

-their favourite character on them!

0:20:020:20:08

-We also have Star Wars pants

-for 10 from Marks and Spencer.

0:20:080:20:12

-These items are practical.

0:20:130:20:15

-Parents will be grateful for them

-and children will love them.

0:20:150:20:19

-Games are also a great gift idea.

0:20:200:20:22

-Operation

-has been around for many years.

0:20:220:20:26

-Many of these games

-can be purchased for under 10.

0:20:260:20:31

-This Air Hockey game

-can be placed on a table.

0:20:310:20:35

-This will be great for older

-children on Christmas day.

0:20:350:20:40

-A game like this would be ideal

-to buy for larger families...

0:20:410:20:46

-..especially if they have

-several children.

0:20:470:20:50

-You don't want to spend too much.

0:20:500:20:53

-I've cheated slightly

-on the last three items.

0:20:530:20:57

-These items are from Boots

-and they cost 15 each.

0:20:580:21:03

-However, Boots, Argos, Toys R Us

-and Smyths are among the stores...

0:21:030:21:09

-..that have a 3 for 2 scheme.

0:21:090:21:12

-These items have cost 30...

0:21:120:21:17

-..and this is a great offer

-when shopping for multiple children.

0:21:170:21:23

-Did you watch

-the recent series of Cariad@iaith?

0:21:260:21:30

-Cariad@iaith is a series where

-eight celebrities from Wales...

0:21:300:21:35

-..come together for a week

-to learn Welsh.

0:21:350:21:38

-This year, the West End performer,

-Caroline Sheen was the winner.

0:21:380:21:42

-the winner of Cariad@iaith 2015.

0:21:460:21:51

0:22:130:22:17

-Caroline Sheen...

0:22:220:22:25

-..how did it feel

-to win Cariad@iaith?

0:22:250:22:29

-It was fantastic.

0:22:290:22:32

-I had a great time on Cariad@iaith.

0:22:320:22:36

-The people were incredible...

0:22:370:22:42

-..and we laughed a lot.

0:22:420:22:46

-Has your life changed since you won?

0:22:460:22:51

-I read books

-with my daughter, Flora.

0:22:520:22:57

-We read where's Smot?

0:22:570:22:59

-We read where's Smot?

-

-That's a classic.

0:22:590:23:01

-She says 'naughty Smot'.

0:23:010:23:06

-I never read Welsh books before.

0:23:060:23:09

-That is helping me keep it up.

0:23:090:23:12

-Well done.

0:23:130:23:14

-Is it difficult to learn Welsh

-as you live in London?

0:23:140:23:18

-Yes, it's hard in London

-as nobody I know speaks Welsh.

0:23:180:23:23

-I watch you on S4C with subtitles.

0:23:230:23:28

-I can now understand

-the Welsh tweets that people put on.

0:23:290:23:33

-I'd like to do a little course

-at the London Welsh Centre.

0:23:340:23:38

-As the winner of Cariad@iaith...

0:23:380:23:40

-..what advice would you give

-to other Welsh learners?

0:23:400:23:44

-I would encourage them

-to do a course...

0:23:440:23:49

-..and keep it up.

0:23:490:23:52

-What are you doing in Cardiff,

-this evening?

0:23:530:23:56

-I'm performing in Broadway to

-the Bay at the Millennium Centre...

0:23:570:24:02

-..with John Owen Jones,

-Sophie Evans, Lucie Jones.

0:24:020:24:06

-Everyone who's ever done

-Cariad@iaith.

0:24:070:24:09

-Do you have to practice?

0:24:100:24:12

-Yes, we have to warm up our voices.

0:24:120:24:14

-You sound a bit husky

-so you should do some warming up.

0:24:140:24:18

-OK.

0:24:180:24:20

-Do you want some advice?

0:24:200:24:20

-Do you want some advice?

-

-Yes, please.

0:24:200:24:22

-Place a hand on your diaphragm.

0:24:220:24:24

-Vv-vv-vv.

0:24:250:24:27

-Vv-vv-vv.

0:24:280:24:29

-Feel the diaphragm going in and out.

0:24:300:24:31

-Feel the diaphragm going in and out.

-

-You sound like a Hoover.

0:24:310:24:33

-Vv-vv-vv.

0:24:330:24:35

-Zz-zz-zz.

0:24:350:24:37

-Serious?

0:24:370:24:38

-Serious?

-

-Serious!

0:24:380:24:39

-Zz-zz-zz.

0:24:390:24:41

-Zz-zz-zz.

0:24:420:24:44

-Ssh-ssh-ssh.

0:24:440:24:46

-Ssh-ssh-ssh.

0:24:460:24:48

-Now go aa-aah.

0:24:480:24:52

-Aa-aah.

0:24:540:24:57

-Great.

0:24:580:25:00

-Go as high as you can,

-as low as you can and back to high.

0:25:000:25:03

-Aa-aah.

0:25:040:25:06

-Good job?

0:25:060:25:07

-Good job?

0:25:070:25:09

-It's been lovely to see you,

-Caroline.

0:25:090:25:12

-Thank you and good luck tonight.

0:25:120:25:12

-Thank you and good luck tonight.

-

-Thank you very much.

0:25:120:25:15

-I better stick to the presenting.

0:25:180:25:22

-After the break...

0:25:230:25:26

-..Elin Fflur ventures

-into the pantomime world.

0:25:260:25:31

-Homemade ham will be prepared

-in the Prynhawn Da kitchen.

0:25:310:25:36

-Don't go far!

0:25:360:25:37

-Subtitles

0:25:450:25:47

-Welcome back.

0:25:510:25:52

-We've already ventured

-to the pantomime world once today.

0:25:520:25:56

-Next, we have another pantomime.

0:25:570:25:59

-The fun and exciting pantomime

-is called Dacw Mam yn Dwad.

0:25:590:26:04

-However, it contains

-a very serious message.

0:26:050:26:09

-Pantomime season has begun so that

-means that Christmas is really here!

0:26:130:26:19

-Oh, no it isn't!

0:26:190:26:20

-Whatever.

0:26:210:26:22

-I was part of Martyn Geraint's

-pantomime for three years.

0:26:220:26:26

-That's where I'm going today but

-this time I'll be in the audience.

0:26:260:26:32

-Oh, no you won't!

0:26:330:26:34

-What are you looking forward

-to seeing?

0:26:380:26:42

-Just lots of characters.

0:26:420:26:45

-Will you be singing and laughing?

0:26:450:26:47

-Will you be singing and laughing?

-

-I think so.

0:26:470:26:49

-Are you looking forward to it?

0:26:490:26:51

-Are you looking forward to it?

-

-Yes, I am.

0:26:510:26:52

-What have you heard about it?

0:26:530:26:54

-What have you heard about it?

-

-Not much at all!

0:26:540:26:56

-It's going to be great fun.

0:26:570:26:58

-Look who's behind you!

0:26:590:27:00

-Hello - are you ready for the show?

0:27:010:27:03

-Hello - are you ready for the show?

-

-Yes!

0:27:030:27:05

-Go and sit down it's about to start.

0:27:050:27:07

-Go and sit down it's about to start.

-

-Let's hurry to our seats.

0:27:070:27:09

-Martyn Geraint.

0:27:180:27:20

-Martyn Geraint.

-

-Elin Fflur.

0:27:200:27:21

-I can't keep a straight face!

0:27:210:27:24

-Let me take off my hat.

0:27:240:27:25

-The pantomime is called Dacw Mam yn

-Dwad and it has a special message.

0:27:260:27:31

-Yes, I wanted to do

-a Welsh pantomime...

0:27:310:27:34

-..and one

-that didn't focus on money.

0:27:340:27:37

-I remembered the lullaby Dacw Mam Yn

-Dwad which has plenty of characters.

0:27:370:27:43

-I went to Rhydfelen school

-and my teacher was Eileen Beasley.

0:27:430:27:49

-She was one of the first people

-who refused to pay a bill...

0:27:490:27:53

-..which was written only in English.

0:27:540:27:57

-Every pantomime needs a drama

-so that gave us the story.

0:27:570:28:01

-It's a message for children

-who go to Welsh schools...

0:28:010:28:05

-..but don't see it used

-outside of school.

0:28:050:28:08

-I play Mari Parri,

-Diolch Croeso's daughter.

0:28:170:28:23

-This is my best friend Dafi Bach.

0:28:230:28:26

-I'm Mari Parri's best friend.

0:28:260:28:30

-I bring common sense to proceedings

-and help the cast out of trouble.

0:28:300:28:36

-This is the first time I've done

-any puppetry and I work several...

0:28:380:28:43

-..including Sion Mon, the baddie.

0:28:430:28:46

-I did the pantomime

-and played the baddie last year...

0:28:460:28:51

-..but this year he's in puppet form

-which is very different.

0:28:510:28:55

-In some scenes, I play farm animals

-so I have both arms going at once!

0:28:550:29:00

-I'm building up my muscles.

0:29:000:29:02

-Did you enjoy the pantomime?

0:29:050:29:07

-Did you enjoy the pantomime?

-

-Yes.

0:29:070:29:09

-What did you like?

0:29:090:29:12

-I liked the part

-where the fairy appeared.

0:29:120:29:16

-What was she called?

0:29:160:29:18

-What was she called?

-

-Tallulah.

0:29:180:29:20

-Gwion, what did you enjoy?

0:29:200:29:22

-I liked it when the bills

-were turned into Welsh.

0:29:220:29:27

-It was good

-when they used the water pistols.

0:29:270:29:31

-Do you come to see it every year?

0:29:310:29:33

-Do you come to see it every year?

-

-Yes.

0:29:330:29:35

-Is the best so far?

0:29:350:29:36

-Is the best so far?

-

-Yes, I'd say so.

0:29:360:29:37

-Are you sure?

0:29:380:29:38

-Are you sure?

-

-Yes.

0:29:380:29:40

-Yes, the pantomime

-looks like great fun.

0:29:480:29:51

-If you would like more information

-about the pantomime...

0:29:510:29:55

-..visit the website,

-www.martyngeraint.com

0:29:550:30:00

-Next, we head into the kitchen.

0:30:000:30:02

-Today, homemade ham is on the menu.

0:30:020:30:05

-Every family tends to cook

-a traditional ham at Christmas.

0:30:060:30:10

-Our family have a ham for the days

-that follow Christmas day.

0:30:110:30:15

-I tend to prepare it

-on Christmas eve...

0:30:160:30:19

-..and then it will last

-over the Christmas period.

0:30:190:30:23

-I boiled this ham

-before coming in to the studio.

0:30:230:30:29

-This is a large piece of ham.

0:30:290:30:32

-This is an unsmoked ham.

0:30:320:30:36

-I'm not a big fan of smoked ham.

0:30:370:30:41

-When you boil the ham,

-do you have to add a lot of salt?

0:30:410:30:45

-No, you only add

-a small amount of salt.

0:30:450:30:49

-It already contains enough salt.

0:30:490:30:51

-Here, I have a large saucepan.

0:30:520:30:55

-This is very big.

0:30:550:30:56

-It's like a cauldron!

0:30:560:31:00

-For the ham, I've used

-the ingredients that you see here.

0:31:000:31:04

-I cooked the ham

-in two pints of apple cider...

0:31:040:31:10

-..a pint of apple juice...

0:31:100:31:14

-..bay leaves...

0:31:140:31:17

-..a teaspoon of black peppercorns...

0:31:170:31:21

-..coriander seeds and herbs.

0:31:210:31:27

-Place a lid on top and top up the

-saucepan with water occasionally.

0:31:270:31:32

-How long will the ham take to cook?

0:31:320:31:35

-For every 500 grams...

0:31:350:31:40

-..you will need to boil it

-for 30 minutes.

0:31:400:31:43

-I've allowed the ham

-to cool down slightly.

0:31:440:31:49

-I've removed the skin.

0:31:490:31:53

-I've left the fat on the meat.

0:31:530:31:58

-Why did you remove the skin?

0:31:580:32:01

-The skin would be too tough to eat

-so that's why I've removed it.

0:32:010:32:07

-The skin which remains

-will be nice and crisp.

0:32:070:32:11

-It will be similar to crackling.

0:32:110:32:14

-We're going to add a bit of colour

-using these ingredients.

0:32:140:32:18

-I have 50g of soft brown sugar...

0:32:180:32:24

-..and two tablespoons of mustard.

0:32:240:32:27

-I'm using a strong mustard for this.

0:32:270:32:32

-Next, I'll add

-two tablespoons of soy sauce.

0:32:320:32:36

-I never measure the correct amounts!

0:32:360:32:39

-You use your experience.

0:32:390:32:42

-Next, we have honey.

0:32:420:32:44

-We're lucky that you didn't

-use brandy!

0:32:450:32:48

-Next, we have the zest

-of a Clementine.

0:32:480:32:52

-You can't grate Satsuma's.

0:32:520:32:56

-Could you use an orange?

0:32:570:32:59

-Yes, you could use oranges...

0:32:590:33:01

-..but there are many Clementine's

-available at the moment.

0:33:020:33:07

-Mix the ingredients.

0:33:070:33:10

-I like to place cloves in the ham.

0:33:100:33:13

-It's tradition and it looks great.

0:33:130:33:16

-I've used a sharp knife

-to score the ham.

0:33:160:33:19

-We don't have time to place all

-of the cloves in the ham today.

0:33:190:33:24

-You need a lot of patience

-to do that.

0:33:240:33:27

-You have to push a clove in

-to all of the cut areas.

0:33:270:33:30

-Use a spoon or brush...

0:33:310:33:36

-..to place the sauce over the ham.

0:33:360:33:40

-I can imagine how it will look

-after it's been cooked.

0:33:400:33:45

-It won't be on the table for long!

0:33:450:33:48

-I would place some foil on the top

-to make sure it doesn't burn.

0:33:490:33:53

-You will need to place it

-in a hot oven for 30 minutes.

0:33:530:33:58

-I have one that I cooked earlier.

0:33:580:34:00

-It doesn't go in the oven

-for a long time.

0:34:010:34:05

-This one was prepared earlier.

0:34:050:34:09

-Wow! I had a sneak peek there.

0:34:090:34:14

-Look at that.

0:34:140:34:16

-It looks completely different.

0:34:160:34:18

-It's a work of art!

0:34:190:34:22

-I'm going to lift it from this tray.

0:34:220:34:27

-I've used

-the remainder of the sauce.

0:34:270:34:31

-Don't burn yourself on that tray.

0:34:320:34:34

-I think it needs a bit of red.

0:34:350:34:37

-You can add cranberries or

-pomegranates to make it look nice.

0:34:380:34:44

-You could also add some rosemary.

0:34:440:34:48

-What would you serve with the ham?

0:34:490:34:52

-I would serve it

-with some Clementine sauce.

0:34:520:34:57

-This ham would be great

-with some new potatoes and coleslaw.

0:34:580:35:02

-Traditionally,

-we serve it with red cabbage.

0:35:020:35:06

-Look at how it cuts.

0:35:060:35:10

-We're spoilt on this programme.

0:35:100:35:13

-I'll give you each a fork.

0:35:130:35:15

-I love Fridays

-because I get to sample the food.

0:35:150:35:20

-Sorry, there isn't much style.

0:35:200:35:24

-I can only serve it on a fork.

0:35:240:35:26

-Thank you.

0:35:260:35:27

-If someone wants more flavour,

-you can drizzle some more sauce.

0:35:280:35:34

-It tastes incredible.

0:35:340:35:36

-This deserves 10 out of 10, Elwen.

-Welcome back.

-Next, we have a short film

-with a special message.

0:37:310:37:35

-Yousuf Bakshi

-of Fitzalan High School Cardiff...

0:37:350:37:39

-..has written a film script with

-the aim to make everyone consider...

0:37:390:37:44

-..of how important the Welsh

-language is in our lives.

0:37:440:37:48

-Welsh is stupid.

0:37:520:37:54

-This piece was written

-by 14-year-old, Yousuf Bakshi.

0:38:100:38:14

-Learn Welsh?

0:38:140:38:16

-No, Welsh is stupid.

0:38:160:38:19

-People shouldn't think

-that Welsh is the future...

0:38:210:38:25

-..and that it can

-help you go further.

0:38:250:38:28

-Did you know that not many people

-speak the language?

0:38:280:38:32

-It's a boring Celtic language.

0:38:320:38:34

-We have to stop saying that

-it's a great language...

0:38:350:38:38

-..that we're pleased to have learnt

-the language and it makes us happy.

0:38:380:38:44

-In 30 years,

-I'll tell my children...

0:38:440:38:47

-..that I was made to learn

-the language in school.

0:38:480:38:51

-Don't say that being bilingual

-is an essential skill...

0:38:530:38:57

-..and that it will lead

-to more opportunities.

0:38:570:39:00

-You could think that

-unless we revert.

0:39:070:39:10

-Being bilingual

-is an essential skill...

0:39:110:39:14

-..and it can lead

-to more opportunities.

0:39:140:39:18

-Don't say that you've been made

-to learn Welsh in school.

0:39:180:39:23

-In 30 years, I will tell my children

-that learning Welsh makes me happy.

0:39:230:39:28

-I'm happy that I've learnt Welsh

-because it's a fantastic.

0:39:290:39:33

-Stop saying that it's

-a boring Celtic language.

0:39:330:39:37

-Welsh can take you further.

0:39:370:39:40

-Welsh is the future.

0:39:400:39:42

-People shouldn't think

-that Welsh is stupid. No.

0:39:420:39:46

-Learn Welsh.

0:39:470:39:50

-What a powerful film.

0:39:500:39:53

-You can see that film again

-on YouTube.

0:39:530:39:56

-The details are on the screen now.

0:39:570:39:59

-The 18 December

-is Christmas Jumper Day.

0:40:000:40:05

-If you haven't bought one yet...

0:40:050:40:08

-..here are some ideas for you.

0:40:090:40:11

-Nicola is wearing a jumper

-from Warehouse.

0:40:120:40:14

-This is lovely and very smart.

0:40:150:40:19

-It costs 46,

-which is slightly expensive.

0:40:190:40:22

-However, if you have more than one

-party, you can justify the price.

0:40:220:40:27

-You like this jumper.

0:40:270:40:29

-Yes, but you only wear this

-for a short period of time.

0:40:290:40:33

-I like the baubles.

0:40:340:40:36

-It will need to have

-plenty of stretch?

0:40:360:40:39

-I believe that I'll get

-plenty of wear from this jumper.

0:40:390:40:44

-Some jumpers scream Christmas.

0:40:440:40:47

-These are classic jumpers.

0:40:480:40:51

-Thank you, Nicola.

0:40:520:40:53

-Next, we have another jumper

-from Warehouse which costs 60.

0:40:530:40:59

-It's had lots of media attention

-so I thought I would show it too.

0:41:000:41:04

-Christmas jumpers

-are a big business.

0:41:040:41:07

-This particular jumper is expensive.

0:41:070:41:11

-However, a Christmas jumper

-can be an investment.

0:41:110:41:16

-It's a statement piece.

0:41:160:41:19

-You can team any Christmas jumper

-with a pair of jeans.

0:41:190:41:23

-Children grow, but we don't so they

-should fit us for a longer period.

0:41:230:41:27

-What do you have next?

0:41:280:41:30

-If you don't want to spend 60...

0:41:300:41:33

-..we have this jumper from

-Marks and Spencer which costs 28.

0:41:340:41:39

-Marks stocks a variety of jumpers

-with Father Christmas and robins.

0:41:390:41:44

-This is a reasonable price to pay

-for a Christmas jumper.

0:41:440:41:48

-This jumper is also subtle.

0:41:480:41:51

-It would be great for a mature lady.

0:41:510:41:57

-The light blue colour is flattering.

0:41:570:42:00

-Marks and Spencer

-has a great collection of jumpers.

0:42:010:42:04

-You have one final jumper

-for this part of the show.

0:42:050:42:08

-Next, this robin jumper

-is from Asda which costs 16.

0:42:090:42:14

-Emma is wearing a jumper from Asda

-which costs 14.

0:42:140:42:18

-This looks expensive

-because of the sequins.

0:42:180:42:23

-I was shocked

-that this only cost 14.

0:42:230:42:26

-Supermarkets sell Christmas jumpers.

0:42:260:42:29

-Last year, I purchased mine

-whilst doing the food shop.

0:42:290:42:34

-It can prove problematic

-to buy clothes whilst food shopping.

0:42:340:42:38

-You must purchase these jumpers

-early as they sell out quickly.

0:42:380:42:43

-Make sure you buy it now

-to get your money's worth.

0:42:430:42:46

-The next jumper is from Peacocks

-and costs 14.

0:42:470:42:50

-Peacocks currently have 30% off.

0:42:500:42:51

-Peacocks currently have 30% off.

-

-I like this jumper.

0:42:510:42:53

-This is a traditional jumper.

0:42:530:42:56

-It's Christmas,

-without having any sequins.

0:42:560:43:00

-It does what it says on the tin!

0:43:000:43:03

-We've got another great

-Christmas jumper on the catwalk.

0:43:030:43:07

-Look at this jumper.

0:43:070:43:09

-Do you like the jumper, Oli?

0:43:090:43:12

-He's very pleased with this one.

0:43:120:43:14

-This is one of my favourites.

0:43:140:43:16

-This jumper is from John Lewis

-and it costs 22.

0:43:160:43:20

-It's playful yet classic.

0:43:200:43:24

-It's quite expensive

-as children tend to grow quickly.

0:43:240:43:28

-Oli won't be able to wear

-this jumper, next year.

0:43:280:43:32

-You could always sell it.

0:43:320:43:34

-Or you could share it.

0:43:340:43:36

-I like the moustache.

0:43:360:43:38

-This is a great Christmas gift.

0:43:380:43:41

-Thank you, Oli.

0:43:410:43:43

-If you don't want to spend 22,

-this jumper is from Next.

0:43:430:43:47

-This is a cool jumper

-and it would look great on Oli.

0:43:480:43:52

-It costs 14.

0:43:520:43:54

-It costs 14.

-

-The colours are great.

0:43:540:43:56

-The next one will shock you.

0:43:560:43:59

-How much do you think this costs?

0:43:590:44:01

-It depends where it's from.

0:44:020:44:02

-It depends where it's from.

-

-ASDA.

0:44:020:44:04

-I would say 20.

0:44:040:44:04

-I would say 20.

-

-It costs 8!

0:44:040:44:07

-This collar is very fashionable.

0:44:070:44:09

-It's smart

-and the material is great.

0:44:100:44:12

-It's a real bargain at only 8.

0:44:120:44:15

-We have one remaining model

-in a photograph.

0:44:150:44:18

-Who is this?

0:44:190:44:20

-This is my son, Steffan Dafydd

-and this is his first Christmas.

0:44:210:44:25

-His jumper is 6 from Next.

0:44:250:44:27

-The colours in the top are great.

0:44:270:44:29

-It isn't a jumper material

-and it won't make them hot...

0:44:300:44:35

-..and so I'm a big fan of this top.

0:44:350:44:38

-Thanks for this great collection.

0:44:380:44:39

-Thanks for this great collection.

-

-Now is the time to buy.

0:44:390:44:43

-It's time for a Christmas song.

0:44:430:44:46
