-Hello and welcome to Bore Da

-on Bonfire Night.

-I hope you're all

-enjoying your weekend...

-..and are ready to spend

-the next hour with me.

-Between now and 10.00am...

-..I hunt for a caravan

-at a massive show in Birmingham.

-Daf Wyn celebrates the growth of

-the Welsh language in Abergavenny.

-Owain Gwynedd goes behind the scenes

-at the channel, BT Sport.

-We also mark

-the tenth anniversary...

-..since the death of the legendary

-rugby player, Ray Gravell.

-Stay tuned over the coming hour.

-Welcome, once again, to Bore Da.

-We start this morning's programme

-at the NEC in Birmingham.

-It recently hosted

-a massive caravan show.

-I was lucky enough to go to see

-caravans of all shapes and sizes.

-I think I'm having

-a midlife crisis...

-..because I've decided that I

-want to buy a caravan or motorhome.

-I'm at the NEC in Birmingham

-for The Motorhome and Caravan Show.

-I'm so excited

-because there's so much choice.

-This is the biggest show of its kind

-in Britain...

-..that fills eleven exhibition halls

-with over 700 leisure vehicles.

-It's great for people

-who are looking for ideas...

-..and those who regularly

-enjoy a holiday on wheels.

-Hello, what are you doing here?

-Hello, what are you doing here?

-

-You're the only Welshman I've seen!

-I come here every year.

-I own a motorhome

-or a home on wheels!

-I come every year

-to see the new things.

-I'm in a quandary as I don't know if

-I should buy a caravan or motorhome.

-I used to stay in a tent

-for the Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau...

-..but got to the exact point

-where you are now.

-I know of a company in North Wales.

-For a great price, you can rent

-a motorhome for a weekend...

-..and go to the Lake District

-or Scotland.

-It helps you to make the choice...

-..before buying one and realizing

-it was an expensive mistake!

-There's no turning back after you

-buy one as it's heaven on earth!

-Wow!

-I like this one, Mici.

-I like this one, Mici.

-

-Yes, this is great.

-Do the children sit over there

-when you're driving?

-Yes, that's their seat

-but our dog sits there.

-This one has tinted windows.

-It's like a bus!

-Go inside and have a look, go on.

-I got a taster of Mici Plwm's

-holidays in his home on wheels...

-..but I still want to know

-what a touring caravan has to offer.

-You're not a fan of caravans.

-You're not a fan of caravans.

-

-I'm not saying that.

-I've lived in one of those

-large static caravans...

-..and done some travelling

-with a touring caravan.

-There's enough choice

-for a newbie like me.

-Yes, that's right.

-Let's go this way.

-Wow, look at this one, Mici.

-Oh, this is the one.

-Caravans are very popular

-at the Eisteddfod...

-..but you don't see as many

-motorhomes at the Eisteddfod.

-No, and there's

-a Welsh Caravan Club.

-I was thinking that

-if you decide to buy a motorhome...

-..you'd join me and Dewi Pws...

-..and we'd take over

-the whole field!

-We could start our own club.

-We could start our own club.

-

-Yes, exactly.

-The problem with taking

-a caravan anywhere...

-..is that you have to be able

-to tow it with a car.

-At the show, I got to test my skills

-behind the wheel.

-Drive half way across

-before you turn.

-Drive straight before you turn.

-Is there a speed limit?

-I'm joking!

-That's a lovely position

-- a lot better.

-Next stop - France!

-Next stop - France!

-

-Yes.

-I enjoyed that.

-I've made a decision.

-You'll be pleased to know...

-..that I think my future lies

-in a motorhome...

-..because it removes

-all the stress of towing a caravan.

-I feel better in a motorhome.

-Imagine the faces of your children

-when you arrive in a motorhome.

-Thank you for your help, Mici

-and cheers to you.

-Mmm!

-Thanks for your company, Mici.

-I'm definitely going back

-to that show next year.

-Last Friday saw a special event

-called the Festival of Light...

-..on the streets of Abergavenny.

-The festival celebrated the growth

-of the Welsh language in the area.

-Daf Wyn was invited

-to join the parade.

-Welcome back to the programme and

-to Abergavenny on an autumn night.

-It's a year since this town

-hosted the National Eisteddfod...

-..and the Welsh language is thriving

-with this great Eisteddfod parade.

-And Carys...

-Where's Carys?

-Come over here, Carys!

-The parade is in full swing.

-# Our voices are as one now

-# Our voices are as one now

-# We're the children of Abergavenny

-# We're the children of Abergavenny

-# We're the children of Abergavenny

-# We're the children of Abergavenny

-# We're the children of Abergavenny

-# We're the children of Abergavenny

-# Come on a journey with us, yeah!

-# Come on a journey with us, yeah!

-

-# Come on a journey with us, yeah! #

-You're obviously having

-a great time, Carys.

-We never know what to expect

-with live television!

-What's happening tonight?

-A group of us in Abergavenny has

-decided that the time has come...

-..to celebrate that the language is

-thriving thanks to the Eisteddfod.

-We wanted to do something fun...

-..that was for all ages and

-that's what we have here tonight.

-This is a lantern parade.

-This is a lantern parade.

-

-Yes, that's right.

-We have to admit

-that it's still light...

-..but the children made lanterns

-in a workshop last week...

-..and they are carrying

-those lanterns.

-It's a symbol of the Welsh language

-in Abergavenny.

-It's shining, thriving and visual.

-You're very passionate

-so I'll let you carry on and sing.

-Come with me so that we can show

-all these people having fun.

-There's about 100

-and everyone is so enthusiastic.

-Children from different schools

-and areas in Abergavenny...

-..have contributed to this night

-which is incredible.

-Will this be an annual event?

-Will this be an annual event?

-

-Yes, I hope so.

-Many have asked about it and we hope

-to double these numbers next year.

-There's also going to be an array

-of activities throughout the year.

-They will start singing in a moment

-but what's happening later?

-We're going to the Labour Club

-for a Twmpath with Tudur Phillips...

-..and an evening of singing and

-folk dancing with the band, Hwntws.

-It's for free and funded by the

-local Welsh Language Initiative.

-It's all happening in Abergavenny

-and we're going to have a song.

-Are you ready and having fun?

-Off you go with your song.

-One, two, three, four.

-# We whisper, talk

-and shout in Welsh

-# We click, clap and tap in Welsh

-# We shake, dance

-and jump in Welsh #

-They are having a lot of fun

-in Abergavenny.

-Let's hope it continues

-for many years.

-Back to you in the studio.

-Congratulations

-to all the organizers.

-It's competition time.

-You can win

-either a television or iPad...

-..in Heno's autumn

-photography competition.

-These are the details.

-Email your autumn photographs

-to [email protected]

-The closing date is 30 November

-so there's about a month to compete.

-Good luck to you all.

-Yes, good luck to you all.

-In the second part

-of today's programme...

-..Owain Gwynedd goes behind

-the scenes at the channel, BT Sport.

-We mark 40 years of Aberystwyth's

-local newspaper, Yr Angor.

-Rhodri Davies

-looks at the history of video games.

-Grab a quick cuppa and I'll see you

-back here in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-Llanelli is home to the famous

-rugby squad, the Scarlets.

-The Scarlets recently played

-an important match against Bath.

-Owain Gwynedd

-was invited to the match...

-..but not to enjoy himself

-in the crowd.

-He went behind the scenes...

-..to see how rugby matches

-make it to the small screen.

-On arriving at Parc y Scarlets...

-..you're greeted with a sculpture

-of the legendary, Ray Gravell.

-As with most stadiums, you buy

-the new jersey in the shop...

-..get some food and a pint.

-If you're late, you often rush to

-your seat to catch the first kick.

-You don't see the television crews

-at work.

-It's over here in this stadium.

-Fifty workers produce Sunset+Vine's

-rugby coverage for BT Sport.

-From the thousands

-of metres of cables...

-..that lead to trucks

-and satellites...

-..you soon realize that there's

-a lot going on behind the scenes.

-Gruff Davies, what's your role

-in this massive production?

-I'm not sure that it's massive but

-I'm the producer of the programme.

-On a Monday, I look at my rota

-and start working on the programme.

-Throughout the week,

-we'll be talking to our pundits.

-Sarra Elgan is our presenter.

-Sam Warburton, Sean Holley

-and David Flatman are her guests.

-I phone the contributors,

-ask them for their comments...

-..and help them gather

-their thoughts ahead of the game.

-This is the gallery

-where the director sits.

-We have over 18 cameras on the field

-and in the changing rooms.

-The technical team

-ensure everything works.

-You have the important job, Tom.

-How do you go about finding those

-replay clips for everyone at home?

-We have cameras

-all over the stadium.

-I talk to the guys who work on VT.

-I choose the clips

-and we try to find the best angle...

-..and replay it slowly so

-everyone can see what has happened.

-We hope to show the correct thing.

-The director and I choose

-the key aspects of the game...

-..that will be discussed

-at half time or following the game.

-We do argue about

-the most important sections...

-..but the producer

-always has the final word.

-Tonight's special pundit

-is Sam Warburton.

-How does it feel to be on the other

-side of the camera as a pundit?

-I would rather be playing...

-..but playing in number 7, you get

-used to the time on the sideline.

-You try to turn

-a negative into a positive.

-I still enjoy

-being involved in rugby.

-I'm normally in shorts so being

-under umbrellas is a piece of cake!

-Is it tough to pass comment

-on some of your mates?

-I'm not going to criticize the boys.

-I give a technical rugby insight,

-which is what I really enjoy.

-I offer some inside knowledge which

-people might not see on television.

-Everyone knows the queen of rugby,

-Sarra Elgan.

-She's travels across Europe

-to present the show.

-Tonight's game in Llanelli

-feels like a home game.

-It's lovely to be 40 minutes

-from Cardiff.

-I had a lie-in this morning and

-then took the children to school.

-We know you as a presenter...

-..but your day starts

-before the cameras start rolling.

-Tell us how you prepare

-for a day like this.

-There's a lot to prepare

-in the lead up to a game.

-I study the teams...

-..and look at who's playing well

-and who isn't on top form.

-I do that during the week.

-I'll look at the stats

-and chat with the pundits...

-..and former players

-who are our guests.

-It's more responsibility

-than people realize.

-How do you prepare

-for when things go wrong?

-It happens to me every week!

-It usually happens

-when Austin is one of the pundits.

-He isn't here tonight as we don't

-let him into Wales for the games.

-There's no telling what Austin

-and Ben Kay are going to say.

-Things usually go wrong

-when they try to be funny...

-..but we're all quite relaxed

-and have a lot of fun.

-The Champions Cup

-and England Rugby League games...

-..are shown weekly

-on the BT Sport channel.

-That was very interesting.

-Thanks to Owain

-for taking us behind the scenes.

-Local newspapers are still popular

-the length and breadth of Wales.

-Last week, a local newspaper

-in Aberystwyth celebrated 40 years.

-Let's hear about Yr Angor

-from Yvonne and the locals.

-The newspaper

-was established in 1977.

-Nearby areas

-had their own local newspaper...

-..and many residents

-of Aberystwyth...

-..thought it was a good idea to have

-something similar in Aberystwyth.

-Mam and I would have a lot of fun

-laying out the newspaper.

-I use the term "fun" very loosely!

-We literally had to cut it

-and paste it together...

-..and that was done in our home.

-These days, a lot of the material

-is sent via email...

-..as opposed to the traditional

-physical post.

-It's compiled in the Welsh School

-and not the homes of the officers.

-At first, I'd write articles

-and then I joined a committee.

-I was its chairman

-for a few years...

-..and have been its secretary

-for many years.

-I have a lot

-of past editions at home...

-..and have been through them

-this week...

-..to prepare a quiz

-for tonight's celebrations.

-The past editions are worth a look

-as they show how times have changed.

-We come to the Welsh school

-in Aberystwyth once a month.

-A large team of distributors help

-to put the newspapers in bags...

-..to take to the shops and other

-distributors who deliver that night.

-They also take other items such as

-posters and marketing material.

-I deliver the newspaper

-with Mam and my sisters.

-Where do you deliver it?

-We go to the town centre

-and near the castle.

-What do you enjoy reading

-in Yr Angor?

-I like the stories

-of people doing well.

-That's the glory

-of these newspapers.

-They give that good news that is

-ignored by conventional newspapers.

-The first editor and original team

-had a vision and stated...

-.."through the medium

-of this newspaper...

-"..we plan to anchor the Welsh

-language firmly in Aberystwyth."

-We continue to do that

-with Yr Angor in this day and age.

-A very happy birthday to Yr Angor.

-As a boy, I loved video games...

-..and if I'm honest,

-I still love video games!

-When I heard that Rhodri Davies had

-been to a video games exhibition...

-..I was very jealous.

-It's incredible how much modern

-games consoles have moved on...

-..since the earliest games

-were played on the Odyssey.

-This console came to Britain

-from the USA in 1973.

-The most familiar console...

-..to a whole generation

-of middle-aged men is the Atari.

-This is the console

-of our childhood.

-The Atari

-springs to mind immediately.

-Pong was the game...

-..that had two horizontal lines

-and a square ball.

-It was so simple but it worked.

-The developments in this field

-are incredible...

-..when you look at

-the Odyssey and Atari.

-These were popular

-a few generations ago.

-People get emotional

-when they return to their hometown.

-This is just like home as my entire

-twenties are on these shelves.

-The first games were very primitive.

-The 1980s was a time of change.

-Space Invaders and Pac-Man

-left the arcades for our homes.

-Technology also progressed

-and become mobile.

-The main drive for change

-was the element of competition.

-The exhibition looks at the new

-generation of games in the 1980s...

-..with Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog.

-These games were like a new world.

-There were gaming wars.

-Nintendo had Super Mario and there

-was Sonic the Hedgehog at Sega.

-You were either a fan of Mario

-or the blue hedgehog.

-Mario and Sonic

-were the stars of the 1980s...

-..and a woman

-led the improvements in the 1990s.

-Suddenly, we saw games on CDs

-and the consoles had more memory.

-Games had developed

-with better graphics.

-You always need one strong character

-to sell a games console.

-Sony Playstation

-had Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

-If I'm honest, it isn't very good.

-It's an awkward game

-but looks stunning.

-It was also something new and

-special to have a female heroine.

-It brought adults into the market.

-It was a complicated game...

-..and you had

-to read the instructions.

-If you're a Sega, Nintendo,

-Xbox or Playstation fan...

-..one thing is certain.

-Video games have transformed

-the entertainments industry.

-The race to the future

-has already started.

-There's been a lot of talk about

-virtual reality and the headsets.

-I feel that they alienate you.

-We now have the Oculus and I got my

-hands on the new version recently.

-I was wearing the headset...

-..and could see the Milky Way

-and all the planets.

-It's a great educational resource.

-In these games, you can lose

-yourself in the planets...

-..and various universes.

-In the meantime,

-you can enjoy this collection...

-..and relive an array

-of wonderful memories.

-This collection is incredible and I

-haven't seen anything quite like it.

-It has everything

-that's linked with computer games.

-It's great to see

-the various consoles.

-Each console I've seen

-that I once owned...

-..reminds me of one specific game

-that was very special to me.

-It's worth visiting the exhibition

-as it brings back so many memories.

-Wow, that was very interesting.

-I'm definitely going to visit

-that exhibition.

-There's still plenty

-to come this morning.

-We join friends and family...

-..to mark ten years since the death

-of the rugby legend, Ray Gravell.

-I start a new series where

-I'll visit the Welsh shops of Wales.

-There's also a perfect dish

-for the cold winter days...

-..from Dan in the kitchen.

-Welcome back.

-Ten years ago to last week...

-..Wales lost one of its

-legendary rugby players...

-..namely the late, Ray Gravell.

-His friends and family gathered for

-a grand lunch at Parc y Scarlets...

-..to look back at his amazing life

-and career.

-# We're always here #

-A rugby player, an entertainer,

-a national hero, father and husband.

-Ray Gravell or Grav will be part

-of Welsh history for many years.

-Yesterday, Parc y Scarlets welcomed

-hundreds to a special lunch...

-..to mark ten years since the death

-of the Mynyddygarreg man.

-I remember him arriving

-at Stradey Park when he was 18.

-We became great friends

-straight away.

-He was from Mynyddygarreg

-and I was from Bancyfelin.

-He had a natural ability

-to boost your spirits...

-..which is a wonderful trait

-to possess.

-It's a great loss

-but we should remember him too.

-Ray was the greatest ambassador for

-West Wales, the language and life.

-I worked with Grav many years ago.

-I'm also a Scarlets fan.

-When I lived in Cowbridge,

-I would often stay with Grav...

-..before we moved to the village

-of Nantgaredig.

-Grav is responsible

-for my move to the area.

-Grav was such

-a wonderful, wonderful man...

-..with a massive heart.

-He touched everybody's hearts.

-It's a massive privilege

-to be here today.

-We're all here because of Ray.

-It's fantastic

-that the love for Ray Gravell...

-..has been used to raise funds

-for good causes.

-The Ray Gravell & Friends Charitable

-Trust was established ten years ago.

-At the lunch, they announced that

-the charity had raised 1 million.

-The date of 31 October...

-..stirs up emotions

-of both happiness and sorrow.

-I'm delighted to be asked to be here

-and asked how many would be present.

-The email had a misprint as it said

-70 but there's actually 700 here!

-It was a welcome surprise...

-..as the presence of these people

-speaks volumes.

-People came from far and wide.

-They included friends from

-the 1980 Lions Tour of South Africa.

-It was a happy tour off the field.

-We won one of the four tests but we

-enjoyed it and Ray was part of that.

-The games are important but the

-people you meet are important too.

-We're here because we enjoyed

-his company over the years.

-You couldn't fail to like him.

-He always gave 100% no matter

-what he did - drinking or playing!

-The greatest memory of these Lions

-is of him playing music.

-Grav had a Dafydd Iwan tape on the

-whole way and drove everybody mad!

-He played my songs on the bus

-and a lot of them were fed up of me.

-Bill Beaumont said, "If I ever meet

-Dafydd Iwan, I'll strangle him!"

-Unfortunately, he isn't here today.

-I was Ray's best man

-and he was my best man.

-Back in 1991,

-we became great, great friends...

-..and I was honoured and privileged.

-He was a special guy

-and I got to know himself and Mari.

-We had some great years

-and great fun.

-The response has been incredible.

-We've crossed the 1 million mark

-and hope to continue the good work.

-We're proud of Dad and all the trust

-has achieved in the last ten years.

-We're delighted as his children.

-We hope it continues

-but who knows what the future holds?

-The Westwalians are very generous.

-The support we've had

-is second to none.

-# Come down from the mountains

-and up from the valleys... #

-"Grav was Grav

-and that was his strength.

-"Am I alright?"

-was one of his fears.

-"But the noise carries

-from God of the stars.

-"Grav is always here,

-Grav and his confidence."

-Have you any stories of Grav?

-Have you any stories of Grav?

-

-No, none I could tell you!

-I'm sure he's looking down on us.

-I don't know who's with him

-or what's happening...

-..but there's quite a commotion,

-knowing Grav!

-If you had one word

-to describe Grav, what would it be?

-A gentle man.

-Yes, a gentle man

-and unique and special.

-It was a great loss for rugby,

-not just in Llanelli and Wales...

-..but the whole nation

-because he was a real character.

-It was obviously an incredible event

-with many memories being shared.

-This week, we start

-a brand-new series on Bore Da.

-This series visits Welsh shops

-the length and breadth of Wales.

-Our series starts in Carmarthen.

-Carmarthen is one

-of the oldest towns in Wales.

-Historians claim

-the meaning of Carmarthen...

-..is Caer Myrddin or Merlin's Fort.

-The town's population

-stands at about 20,000.

-To this day, Carmarthen

-remains as a popular market town.

-At the heart of the town...

-..you'll find one of the most famous

-shops in Carmarthen - Siop y Pentan.

-Let's go inside.

-Siop y Pentan dates back to 1972.

-Believe it or not...

-..it was one of the first Welsh

-shops to be established in Wales.

-It's now 45 years old.

-It was established...

-..by the famous Wyn Siop y Pentan.

-Wyn opened it in the old market but

-we've moved to the new market now.

-The old market was part of

-the traditional Carmarthen Mart.

-There was a mart twice a week.

-Everybody knows

-about Siop y Pentan...

-..not just in the town

-but the close vicinity too.

-It's a tradition

-to visit Siop y Pentan.

-You can get new publications

-for both children and adults...

-..and Welsh produce.

-We sell a lot of local crafts.

-There are slate gifts and frames

-that can be personalized...

-..and our lovespoons can also be

-personalized for special events...

-..such as weddings or anniversaries.

-We also sell CDs

-and they are very important.

-There's also an array

-of greetings cards...

-..and they are very popular.

-We also have a section

-for Welsh learners...

-..and for parents...

-..who want to help their children

-who start in a Welsh medium school.

-We have bilingual books

-for both children and adults.

-A lot of people come into the shop

-during the week...

-..and they are learning Welsh

-in a night class...

-..or have decided that they need to

-learn more and improve their Welsh.

-Some have forgotten words

-as a result of moving away.

-I love encouraging them.

-We do our best

-to promote the Welsh language...

-..with this section

-we have for Welsh learners.

-Thanks to everyone

-for the warm welcome.

-You can invite us to

-one of the Welsh shops of Wales...

-..by sending an email

-to [email protected]

-On the cold, dark winter days...

-..nothing beats

-a warming and comforting meal.

-That's exactly what Dan made

-in the Prynhawn Da kitchen recently.

-Your first dish

-is a beef stroganoff.

-Where do you start?

-Let's start with the beef.

-This is rump steak

-that cooks quickly.

-Don't worry

-if it's still a little rare.

-A stroganoff cooks in minutes.

-The meat has been cut into strips

-that are about 1cm thick.

-Season it with some pepper and salt.

-This goes into a frying pan

-with hot oil.

-You want the sizzle.

-Seal the meat on both sides...

-..before moving to the next process.

-A stroganoff

-or a beef bourguignon...

-..strikes fear

-into the hearts of many.

-We assume it's complicated

-but that isn't always true.

-Many stroganoff recipes state

-to cook it for hours in an oven...

-..but my recipe

-can be made in about five minutes.

-It's still a stroganoff

-but a quick one!

-It isn't the cheapest cut of meat...

-..so what are the other options?

-Buy the rump steak if you want

-to make this quick stroganoff...

-..but stewing steak can be used

-for an oven-baked stroganoff...

-..but seal the meat

-before it goes into the oven.

-Next, we add some onion.

-It should be finely chopped.

-Chopping an onion like that

-is an art in itself.

-I'd chop my hand too!

-It needs to be finely chopped

-so that it cooks quickly.

-Thicker pieces

-will take longer to cook.

-We also add

-a finely chopped clove of garlic.

-Does it all go in one pan?

-Does it all go in one pan?

-

-Yes, it all goes in the one pan.

-Add the garlic.

-Next, we have

-some finely chopped mushrooms.

-Nothing beats the smell

-of frying onions and garlic.

-Is the secret to chop everything

-finely so it cooks quicker?

-Bigger pieces take longer to cook.

-Chop things

-so that they are of equal size.

-I nearly lost my eyebrows!

-Next, we add

-some Worcestershire sauce.

-It adds some spice

-to our stroganoff.

-You're using a lot of it.

-Don't worry as we'll add

-some cream to counteract it.

-Add some paprika.

-I'm using smoked paprika but you can

-add the spicy variety if you prefer.

-I'm not using it.

-Next, we add the cream

-and allow it to reduce.

-Turn up the heat and allow it

-to reduce for about two minutes.

-That isn't very long.

-I always think it takes 20 minutes

-for a sauce to reduce!

-Don't add too much cream

-or it takes longer to reduce.

-You can add more later.

-Was that double cream?

-Was that double cream?

-

-Yes, it's double cream for cooking.

-There isn't enough fat in

-single cream to thicken the sauce.

-I've got my rice.

-Take some fresh chives

-and finely chop them.

-These add more interest to the rice.

-Shall I stir this for you?

-Shall I stir this for you?

-

-Yes, thank you.

-The chives are added

-to the bowl of rice.

-We're almost ready to serve.

-I'm amazed

-that you've made this in real time.

-It hasn't been baked at all.

-It's a quick meal.

-You can make it in five minutes

-after a day in work.

-Yes, and vegetarians

-can replace the meat...

-..with some wild mushrooms.

-It's so easy to prepare.

-It's so easy to prepare.

-

-Yes, it is.

-I can't believe

-you made it so quickly.

-Finish it with some honey

-to add some sweetness...

-..and we can plate it up.

-This is our stroganoff.

-It's so easy to prepare.

-We have to ask you

-to pass that plate over here.

-We have no shame!

-We have no shame!

-

-Dan knows us well enough by now.

-Thank you, Dan.

-I'm digging deep

-to get plenty of sauce.

-I won't try the meat yet and

-will try not to get it all over me!

-That's lovely.

-I've burned my hand on an onion!

-That's delicious.

-Yes, and it's so quick

-and easy to make.

-Mmm, that looked

-absolutely delicious.

-It's time for a break...

-..but make sure you join us in a few

-minutes to go behind the scenes...

-..of a brand-new drama

-that starts on S4C tonight.

-We also discuss the various lagers

-that are produced in Wales.

-Don't you move a muscle!

-Welcome back.

-Tonight at 9.00pm...

-..a brand-new drama series

-starts on S4C.

-It's called Un Bore Mercher.

-Before the drama

-starts officially...

-..we've got an exclusive

-for the viewers of Bore Da...

-..as we go behind the scenes.

-The series is a rollercoaster ride.

-It's the story of a woman and that's

-what attracted me to the project.

-We haven't seen a story like it.

-Faith is a mother...

-..a solicitor and also a wife.

-She has to juggle all these things

-but is passionate about everything.

-You look beautiful.

-The drama revolves around

-a legal company from West Wales.

-It starts with a happy scene as the

-married couple, Faith and Evan...

-..take over the family business.

-But it all starts to crumble.

-Enjoy yourself.

-Enjoy yourself.

-

-Thank you.

-Her husband, Evan goes to work

-but he never arrives.

-Faith is dragged back to work

-with her children...

-..and starts to discover

-her husband's unexpected past.

-I'm going back to the gym tomorrow!

-I'm going back to the gym tomorrow!

-

-No, you're not.

-The series has been filmed

-in Welsh and English.

-The lead character, Eve Myles

-had to learn Welsh to play the role.

-This project came along

-and it was a huge challenge.

-I've always wanted to speak Welsh

-as I encourage my children to do it.

-It's so beautiful to hear

-the children speaking Welsh.

-I've always felt like

-I've missed out on that.

-We started with the alphabet

-and literally the A, B, C...

-..and seven months later, it's done.

-She's almost in every scene.

-She plays this bilingual role.

-She's learnt a language to do it

-and that's incredible.

-Every now and again, the most

-unexpected people surprise us.

-Mr Davies might have been ready

-for a new a start.

-She's spot on every time.

-Some of us fluent speakers need to

-do retakes after fluffing our lines.

-She's never like that

-and always spot on.

-It's an exciting time

-for Welsh dramas...

-..and dramas in the Welsh language.

-Bang is fab

-and it looks great on the screen.

-It attracts a different audience

-to the one this is aimed at.

-I think it's fab to see women

-playing the lead roles.

-Don't forget to tune in at 9.00pm.

-It looks brilliant.

-Brewing beer is very popular

-in Wales at the moment.

-Here's a taster of what's available.

-Dylan Rowlands usually has wine but

-we're trying beer or lager today.

-Yes, and I don't know

-a lot about beer.

-I thought it would be easier to look

-at lager as there's less of them.

-You're a wine man.

-Yes, but there's a real difference

-in these varieties.

-Lagers differ to ales.

-It's similar to wine.

-It all comes down to the yeast.

-It's bottom-feeding for lager

-and top-feeding for the ales.

-There's a huge choice in Wales

-from the array of micro-breweries.

-I'm very grateful to Fiona and Neil

-from Stori in Bala.

-They have over 100 different beers

-in their shop.

-They chose

-all these Welsh lagers for me.

-I'm told there's from 50 to 100

-breweries in Wales at the moment.

-I don't know any Welsh lagers

-so it'll be great to try some.

-What's the first one?

-This first one is famous.

-It's from the first brewery

-in Britain that dates from 1883.

-This is Wrexham Lager.

-The brewery was closed

-at the turn of the century...

-..but it has re-opened.

-What do you think, Sian?

-It's quite nice but I'm not

-a huge fan of beer and lager...

-..but it's quite nice.

-It's quite light and like a pilsner.

-This is the sort of lager I drink

-after a busy day at work.

-It's easy to drink

-and has 5% alcohol...

-..and a reasonable price.

-I like it.

-Next, we have a new one from Brecon.

-It's from Lithic Brewing.

-What is its name?

-What is its name?

-

-It's Lithic Brewing, I think.

-I expected them all

-to be pale in colour...

-..but that will change

-as we proceed.

-I think of lager

-as being pale and light.

-I like the can.

-Yes, it's one of the new trends.

-It's similar to screw tops and corks

-with bottles of wine.

-The breweries feel that tin

-is excellent for storage.

-It keeps it dark

-and is a perfect seal.

-It's very fizzy.

-I like this.

-It's not bad at all.

-I prefer the one from Wrexham.

-They will get more bitter

-as we progress.

-I think this one is fruitier.

-Yes, it's a nice one.

-I like the can

-and this is a lovely bottle too.

-I stopped at Coles

-on my journey down last night.

-It's down the road from here.

-What's the name of the village?

-It's Llanddarog.

-Shall I pour it?

-It's a busy family with a distillery

-where they make cider and beer.

-This one is much darker.

-It gets its colour

-from the malt that they use.

-Is it stronger than the others?

-It's about the same

-with 4.5% alcohol.

-The last one is the big hitter.

-You're doing well.

-Have you worked in a bar, Sian?

-I've poured a few bottles

-in my time!

-I think this is more like an ale

-than a lager.

-It's another fizzy one.

-No, I don't like that.

-Oh, no.

-It's a dark lager.

-It's really bitter.

-It's called a chocolate malt

-so it has more flavour.

-I quite like it.

-After driving down last night,

-I was in my element...

-..to have a lovely bottle

-in the bar.

-It's odd to see such a dark lager.

-It's odd to see such a dark lager.

-

-Yes, but it's all about the malt.

-The bottles and their labels

-are important.

-They compete

-with a lot of other products.

-This final one is very unusual

-for a beer and looks very smart.

-I don't know a lot about Geipel

-but I think he's from Canada.

-He works in Manchester in the week

-but brews just outside Bala.

-It's quite special.

-The name of Bock

-means that it's strong...

-..and it's almost 7% alcohol.

-It's another dark one.

-It's just for you at 7% and dark,

-Sian!

-OK, here we go.

-Let's see.

-Yes, it's very dark.

-It's full of flavour.

-Oh, Sian!

-My reaction has no reflection

-on the lager but I'm not a fan.

-It isn't like a lager.

-It isn't like a lager.

-

-No, it's more like the real ales.

-It's has a very strong flavour...

-..and it's still a lager.

-It's the smallest bottle and is 7%.

-That's all for this morning.

-Thank you for joining me.

-Enjoy the rest of your day.

-If you're going to an event

-for Bonfire Night...

-..enjoy yourself

-but please be careful too.

-Until the same time next week,

-a very good morning to you all.
