-Hello and welcome to Bore Da

-on Remembrance Sunday.

0:00:160:00:21

-On this day every year...

0:00:210:00:23

-..we remember all those who were

-killed, injured and affected...

0:00:230:00:28

-..by the various wars

-across the world.

0:00:280:00:31

-Over 40,000 people from Wales

-lost their lives in World War I...

0:00:310:00:37

-..and almost 20,000

-during World War II.

0:00:370:00:41

-Today,

-when the clock strikes eleven...

0:00:410:00:44

-..the country will stop...

0:00:440:00:46

-..to remember the sacrifice

-of those men and women.

0:00:460:00:50

-On Bore Da this morning...

0:00:500:00:52

-..we remember the contribution

-of one man from Porthmadog...

0:00:520:00:57

-..to one of the toughest battles

-of World War II.

0:00:570:01:01

-On today's programme...

0:01:010:01:03

-..Yvonne joins the River

-of Lights Parade in Haverfordwest.

0:01:030:01:09

-I continue our new series on

-visiting the Welsh shops in Wales.

0:01:090:01:14

-This morning, I'm at the new shop

-called Llyfrau'r Enfys...

0:01:140:01:18

-..in Merthyr Tydfil.

0:01:190:01:20

-Llinos Lee goes behind the scenes

-at The X Factor...

0:01:210:01:25

-..and Daf Wyn roams around

-the important corridors of Radio 1.

0:01:250:01:31

-We close the programme with a song

-called Golau Gwan by Jodie Bird.

0:01:310:01:36

-Sit back and enjoy Bore Da!

0:01:370:01:40

-We start this morning's programme...

0:01:460:01:48

-..by continuing our series

-on the various Welsh shops in Wales.

0:01:480:01:54

-I can't believe

-that it's been almost a year...

0:01:550:01:59

-..since I visited the Welsh shop,

-Llyfrau'r Enfys in Caerphilly...

0:01:590:02:04

-..owned by Vikki Alexander.

0:02:040:02:07

-Believe it or not,

-she's opened another shop.

0:02:070:02:10

-This time it's in Merthyr Tydfil.

0:02:110:02:13

-Oh, and she's asked me

-to officially open the shop.

0:02:130:02:17

-Yes, me!

0:02:170:02:18

-The shop is part of Canolfan Soar

-in Merthyr Tydfil.

0:02:210:02:25

-The building had laid dormant

-for a few months...

0:02:250:02:29

-..but everyone is delighted to see

-its doors opening once again.

0:02:290:02:35

-The Welsh centre of Canolfan Soar...

0:02:350:02:38

-..was established after the 1987

-Merthyr Tydfil National Eisteddfod.

0:02:380:02:43

-The volunteers

-who started the Welsh centre...

0:02:430:02:47

-..also opened

-a Welsh book shop in the centre.

0:02:470:02:51

-They ran it on a voluntary basis

-for ten years.

0:02:510:02:54

-The shop enabled

-the Canolfan Soar to develop.

0:02:550:02:59

-Without the shop...

0:03:000:03:01

-..we wouldn't have a theatre

-or Welsh centre in Merthyr Tydfil.

0:03:010:03:06

-It's important to have a shop

-at the heart of the site.

0:03:060:03:10

-Most complain about having

-too much work, Vikki...

0:03:120:03:16

-..but you've created more work for

-yourself by opening another shop!

0:03:160:03:21

-Yes, I'm bonkers and I know it

-but it was needed.

0:03:210:03:24

-The shop had closed

-and left a gap in Merthyr Tydfil.

0:03:250:03:29

-The site has Welsh tutors, the Urdd

-and Welsh Language Initiative.

0:03:290:03:35

-What do you sell in this shop?

0:03:350:03:38

-I have books that are aimed

-specifically at children...

0:03:380:03:42

-..and for all ages.

0:03:420:03:44

-We stock local art and crafts...

0:03:440:03:46

-..and English language books

-written by locals.

0:03:470:03:51

-I stock items from Wales

-or that are made in Wales.

0:03:510:03:55

-What has the response been like

-from the locals of Merthyr Tydfil?

0:03:550:04:00

-It's been great!

0:04:000:04:01

-We've been open

-for the last few weeks...

0:04:020:04:04

-..and one woman came in and cried.

0:04:050:04:07

-She was so delighted and very

-emotional to see the site reopening.

0:04:070:04:13

-They had lost everything

-so are very happy to see this.

0:04:140:04:18

-What's happening today?

0:04:180:04:20

-It's the official opening

-and there's a lot of activities.

0:04:200:04:26

-Yes, I'm very lucky...

0:04:260:04:27

-..because the local Initiative is

-on this site and has helped a lot.

0:04:280:04:32

-There's a Halloween Cave

-in the theatre.

0:04:320:04:36

-There's book signings

-from the local authors...

0:04:360:04:40

-..Gareth Evans, Lynda Nash

-and Melanie Smith.

0:04:400:04:43

-We've got Fireman Sam, Peppa Pig,

-magic tricks and a lot more.

0:04:440:04:49

-It was important to be here...

0:04:500:04:53

-..to support this new venture

-and I hope it's a success.

0:04:530:04:57

-Christmas is on the horizon.

0:04:580:05:00

-I hope fathers, grandfathers

-and grandmothers will buy my book!

0:05:000:05:04

-It's brilliant to have this shop.

0:05:050:05:10

-People don't realize that parents

-raise their children speaking Welsh.

0:05:100:05:15

-A lot of children

-are fluent Welsh speakers.

0:05:150:05:19

-It's important to have a place

-outside of our capital city...

0:05:200:05:25

-..outside of Pontypridd

-and away from the Eisteddfod Maes...

0:05:250:05:31

-..where you can enjoy stories and

-buy Welsh items whenever you want.

0:05:310:05:37

-I've heard a lot about the

-Halloween Cave that is over there.

0:05:390:05:44

-Look at this.

0:05:440:05:45

-The Halloween Cave

-- enter if you dare!

0:05:460:05:49

-As you can see, there's all sorts

-of activities in here.

0:05:530:05:57

-What are you doing, Amelia?

0:05:570:05:58

-What are you doing, Amelia?

-

-I'm carving a pumpkin.

0:05:580:06:00

-Why are you doing that?

0:06:000:06:01

-I want to make a scary face.

0:06:020:06:05

-Oh, that is scary.

0:06:050:06:07

-What have you

-enjoyed doing the most?

0:06:070:06:10

-Um... making biscuits.

0:06:110:06:14

-Did you make that one?

0:06:150:06:17

-It looks lovely.

0:06:170:06:18

-There's only one left

-so is it for me?

0:06:190:06:21

-No!

0:06:210:06:23

-You look very busy, Elis

-so what are you doing?

0:06:230:06:27

-It's a picture of Bonfire Night.

0:06:270:06:30

-This orange bit

-is an orange firework.

0:06:300:06:35

-I saw some fireworks yesterday.

0:06:350:06:38

-The big moment finally arrived.

0:06:400:06:43

-I'd like to pass you over

-to Alun Williams.

0:06:440:06:47

0:06:510:06:53

0:06:540:06:56

-Thank you.

0:06:560:06:57

-Thanks to everyone in Merthyr Tydfil

-for the warm welcome.

0:07:000:07:05

-I had a very memorable day.

0:07:050:07:07

-At Halloween...

0:07:070:07:09

-..the streets of Haverfordwest

-become a River of Lights.

0:07:100:07:14

-It's certainly worth seeing.

0:07:140:07:16

-Yvonne joined the parade.

0:07:170:07:20

0:07:500:07:54

-The event is a chance for people

-to welcome the new season.

0:07:540:08:00

-People from all over the county

-come to celebrate the autumn.

0:08:000:08:04

-Over the past month, Maenclochog,

-Narberth and Haverfordwest...

0:08:050:08:11

-..have all hosted lantern-making

-workshops for local people.

0:08:110:08:17

-We've made 400 or 500 lanterns...

0:08:190:08:23

-..in the shape of pyramids

-or small houses.

0:08:230:08:26

-We have some giant lanterns

-Joane Cheate worked as a nurse

-at the time of the Plague.

0:08:560:09:02

-have joined forces...

0:09:040:09:08

0:09:090:09:12

-..and landmarks in the town.

0:09:130:09:15

-We have the bridge

-built by William Owen...

0:09:150:09:18

-familiar buildings.

0:09:210:09:26

-We want people to remember

-our history and look to the future.

0:09:270:09:32

-The history of Haverfordwest

-is alive and well.

0:09:340:09:38

-I'm now joined by Myfanwy Lewis.

0:09:390:09:41

-You're originally from Pembrokeshire

-Grace is one of the volunteers

-on this lively night.

0:10:140:10:19

-Yes, it starts here and

-the music takes us to the park...

0:10:190:10:23

-..where there's a party

-that runs until midnight.

0:10:230:10:27

-Will you be at the party?

0:10:270:10:29

-Will you be at the party?

-

-No, I won't.

0:10:290:10:30

-Oh, dear. Maybe next time.

0:10:300:10:32

-

-Yes, maybe.

0:10:320:10:34

0:10:340:10:38

-Rhys and Ioan...

0:10:390:10:42

-..with some incredible lanterns.

0:10:420:10:45

-Did you make this?

0:10:450:10:46

-Yes, with Mam

-who works for Span Arts.

0:10:460:10:50

-It takes about an hour to make

-and it's quite simple.

0:10:500:10:55

-Is this your first lantern?

0:10:550:10:57

-We made one last year

-but this design is a bit different.

0:10:570:11:03

-They look incredible.

0:11:030:11:06

-What did you use for your lantern,

-Ioan?

0:11:060:11:11

-The exterior frame

-is made from willow.

0:11:110:11:17

-There's thin paper

-and glue on the outside.

0:11:170:11:22

-You've got a candle inside it too.

0:11:220:11:26

-Yes, it's glued to the frame

-so that it's more solid.

0:11:260:11:31

-You've both created

-some real masterpieces.

0:11:310:11:35

-Well done to you

-and enjoy the party tonight.

0:11:350:11:38

0:14:110:14:13

-It was great to work in a studio on

-It's called Life Hacks which

-replaces my old show, The Surgery.

0:15:060:15:11

-It will air on a Sunday afternoon

-to appeal to a younger audience.

0:15:110:15:17

-I'm doing things like that.

0:15:170:15:19

-Those are the first steps

-before the new year.

0:15:190:15:23

-Llond Ceg - more talking!

0:15:230:15:25

-We discuss the topics

-that are important to you.

0:15:250:15:29

-Llond Ceg.

0:15:290:15:30

-Llond Ceg.

-

-Yes, that's fantastic.

0:15:300:15:31

-Tell us about the programme.

0:15:320:15:33

-Llond Ceg came about when

-I presented The Surgery on Radio 1.

0:15:340:15:38

-It was aimed at those 15 and over.

0:15:380:15:40

-Instead of asking young people

-about their problems...

0:15:410:15:45

-..we gave them the problems

-and they offered solutions.

0:15:450:15:49

-We've done three series and

-covered a lot of adolescent issues.

0:15:500:15:55

-Llond Ceg is a fantastic programme

-for young people.

0:15:550:15:59

-You've received two

-BAFTA nominations for the show.

0:15:590:16:03

-Yes, we were with the big boys and

-surrounded by all the award-winners.

0:16:040:16:09

-It was great.

0:16:090:16:11

-You present Llond Ceg...

0:16:110:16:13

-..but do you remember

-the first time you presented on S4C?

0:16:130:16:17

-Swansea has hit the headlines

-in recent months...

0:16:180:16:21

-..due to the high number

-of car thefts and joy riding.

0:16:210:16:25

-Why do young adults do this?

0:16:250:16:27

-Do you remember that?

0:16:270:16:28

-Do you remember that?

-

-Yes, I do.

0:16:280:16:29

-Are they fond memories?

0:16:300:16:31

-Are they fond memories?

-

-Yes, it was a fantastic time.

0:16:310:16:33

-Heno was great as I got to present

-and it's where it started for me.

0:16:330:16:39

-I was given work experience on Heno

-before going to Radio 1.

0:16:390:16:44

-Without Heno,

-I wouldn't be where I am today.

0:16:450:16:48

-Thank you for saying that.

0:16:480:16:50

-Can I get a copy of that clip?

0:16:500:16:51

-Can I get a copy of that clip?

-

-Yes, I'll sort it out for you.

0:16:510:16:53

-Mam and Dad would love a copy!

0:16:540:16:55

-I almost gave you this

-but I'd better not do that.

0:16:560:16:59

-Good luck in your new job

-and keep in touch.

0:16:590:17:02

-Nothing beats

-a good bit of nostalgia.

0:17:050:17:09

-Aled obviously enjoyed seeing

-that old clip of himself.

0:17:090:17:13

-The time has come for us

-to start talking about Christmas.

0:17:130:17:19

-A few days ago, the Christmas cake

-was on the menu on Prynhawn Da.

0:17:190:17:24

-Here's a taster of the recipe.

0:17:240:17:27

-The base of this cake is to cream

-some light muscovado sugar...

0:17:280:17:32

-..with some melted butter.

0:17:320:17:36

-Next, we add our eggs.

0:17:360:17:39

-Gradually whisk the eggs

-into the sugar mixture.

0:17:390:17:43

-How many eggs do you need?

0:17:430:17:44

-How many eggs do you need?

-

-There's four eggs.

0:17:440:17:45

-I've doubled the recipe

-that will appear on your screens...

0:17:460:17:50

-..to make eight individual cakes.

0:17:500:17:53

-I'm making individual cakes.

0:17:530:17:55

-These are the ones you're making

-as opposed to a giant cake!

0:17:550:17:59

-You can make any size

-but this is just a variation.

0:18:000:18:03

-These small ones are great gifts if

-you don't want to make a large cake.

0:18:030:18:08

-He's doubled the recipe

-because you and I are hungry!

0:18:080:18:12

-Next, we add our self-raising flour.

0:18:120:18:15

-Fold it into the mixture.

0:18:160:18:18

-You need elbow grease to do this.

0:18:190:18:21

-You could use a mixer

-but it's better to do it by hand.

0:18:220:18:26

-It gives you more control.

0:18:260:18:28

-You need to fold it all in.

0:18:280:18:30

-Is this the base

-for any Christmas cake?

0:18:300:18:34

-Yes, but a lot of the recipes

-do vary.

0:18:340:18:37

-This method is similar

-to making a sponge.

0:18:380:18:42

-This is our base

-which is a batter mixture.

0:18:430:18:46

-Next, we turn to the fruit.

0:18:460:18:48

-I've got currants, sultanas,

-cherries and orange.

0:18:480:18:53

-These are boiled in orange juice

-and brandy.

0:18:530:18:57

-Have you used all the orange?

0:18:580:18:59

-Have you used all the orange?

-

-No, just the zest and juice.

0:18:590:19:02

-The fruit absorbs all the flavour

-and expand in size.

0:19:020:19:07

-How long does that take?

0:19:070:19:09

-How long does that take?

-

-It only needs a few minutes.

0:19:090:19:10

-Warm the liquid

-for the fruit to absorb.

0:19:110:19:13

-You don't want it to boil.

0:19:140:19:17

-Add some mixed spice to the fruit.

0:19:170:19:20

-You want three teaspoons

-of mixed spice...

0:19:200:19:24

-..and fold it all into the mixture.

0:19:240:19:27

-Next, we add our dark treacle.

0:19:280:19:33

-It's a strong flavour.

0:19:330:19:35

-We also want some honey

-or golden syrup.

0:19:350:19:38

-You can use either.

0:19:390:19:40

-Golden syrup

-is a bit more luxurious.

0:19:400:19:43

-We don't need that in there.

0:19:430:19:45

-That helps to bind the mixture.

0:19:450:19:47

-That helps to bind the mixture.

-

-Yes, it's just like glue!

0:19:470:19:49

-Mix all the ingredients together.

0:19:490:19:53

-Make sure it's all mixed in.

0:19:530:19:56

-You can see the mixture

-getting darker.

0:19:560:19:59

-Make sure it's all mixed in well.

0:20:000:20:02

-Let's add a few more cherries.

0:20:020:20:06

-These ones haven't

-absorbed all the juices.

0:20:060:20:10

-It gives a mixture of soft

-and whole cherries.

0:20:100:20:13

-Our batter is ready.

0:20:140:20:15

-I've wrapped these rings

-with cling film...

0:20:160:20:19

-..and lined them

-with some greaseproof paper.

0:20:190:20:24

-Dollop some of the mixture

-into the ring.

0:20:240:20:30

-The cling film helps it to stand

-on the tray and avoid any leakage.

0:20:300:20:35

-The mixture will rise.

0:20:350:20:37

-Do you need to fill that

-right to the top?

0:20:370:20:41

-I'd fill it half way up the ring

-and it will rise quite a lot.

0:20:410:20:47

-Yes, it has risen a lot.

0:20:470:20:49

-I wasn't sure how much

-it would rise in the ring.

0:20:490:20:54

-We want to add

-some finishing touches to our cake.

0:20:550:20:58

-Remove the top

-to give you a flat surface...

0:20:580:21:01

-..so that you can decorate it.

0:21:020:21:04

-I'm going to use the traditional

-marzipan and some icing.

0:21:040:21:10

-Is marzipan essential

-because a lot of children hate it?

0:21:100:21:14

-No, but it's traditional.

0:21:150:21:17

-I like it now but wondered

-about those with fussy children.

0:21:170:21:22

-You could use chocolate fondant

-or some icing with chocolate in it.

0:21:220:21:28

-Brush the top of the cake

-with some warm apricot jam.

0:21:290:21:32

-It has softened

-in the heat of the studio.

0:21:320:21:36

-Use the same size ring

-to cut out some marzipan.

0:21:360:21:41

-It goes on top of the cake.

0:21:410:21:44

-We'll do the same with the icing.

0:21:440:21:47

-First, brush the marzipan with some

-of the jam as it acts like glue.

0:21:470:21:52

-Brush it over the top.

0:21:520:21:54

-It's like a little house!

0:21:540:21:56

-It's like a little house!

-

-Yes, it is.

0:21:560:21:58

-You can decorate it with a ribbon...

0:21:580:22:01

-..or use a spray

-that has some sheen to it.

0:22:010:22:06

-Yes, we like that at Christmas!

0:22:060:22:08

-You can do something similar

-to what I've done over there...

0:22:090:22:13

-..and pipe on some white chocolate.

0:22:130:22:16

-Yes, and there's

-the silver balls on top too.

0:22:160:22:20

-It's like hail and snow.

0:22:200:22:22

-You can see that item again online

-on Clic or the BBC iPlayer.

0:22:240:22:29

-Next, we join the naturalist,

-Iolo Williams again this month.

0:22:290:22:35

-He's eager for us to go outdoors...

0:22:350:22:39

-..to learn more about nature

-and the world around us.

0:22:390:22:43

-Let's see what we should spot

-in November.

0:22:430:22:46

-It's November

-and it's the month of birds.

0:22:530:22:57

-The swallows have migrated...

0:22:570:22:59

-..but thousands of birds

-have arrived here for the winter.

0:22:590:23:03

-I'm at Burton Mere Wetlands,

-the RSPB reserve in the Dee Estuary.

0:23:040:23:10

-It's a manmade reserve

-built on farmland.

0:23:140:23:18

-The RSPB created a reserve...

0:23:190:23:21

-..that is excellent

-for all kinds of wildlife.

0:23:210:23:25

-This reserve sits

-on the Wales-England border...

0:23:250:23:29

-..with a third, or the best part,

-of the reserve sitting in Wales.

0:23:300:23:35

-One of the great advantages

-of such a large reserve...

0:23:450:23:49

-..is that you can get quite close to

-the birds without disturbing them.

0:23:500:23:54

-The wild duck or mallard

-is very prominent here.

0:23:550:23:58

-I hope that most of you

-will recognize it.

0:23:590:24:02

-The drake

-is very brightly coloured...

0:24:020:24:06

-..whilst the duck is very plain.

0:24:060:24:09

-There's a good reason for this.

0:24:090:24:11

-The drake has to attract the duck

-so needs to look attractive...

0:24:120:24:16

-..but she has to lay

-and protect the eggs.

0:24:170:24:21

-They nest on the ground so she has

-to blend with the background.

0:24:210:24:27

-That's the reason.

0:24:280:24:29

-I'd like you to try

-and spot two other ducks.

0:24:330:24:37

-The first is the "corhwyaden"

-or the teal in English.

0:24:380:24:41

-Once again,

-the drake is very colourful.

0:24:420:24:44

-Keep your eyes peeled for

-a small duck with a bronze head...

0:24:450:24:49

-..and a green stripe across the eye.

0:24:490:24:52

-There's also the "hwyaden gopog"

-or the tufted duck...

0:24:520:24:56

-..with its black and white drake.

0:24:560:25:00

-Birds are the main attraction

-at the reserve this month...

0:25:030:25:07

-..but don't forget

-about the flowers.

0:25:080:25:11

-Take a look at this.

0:25:110:25:13

-It's called "blodau taranau"

-or the red campion.

0:25:130:25:17

-This is very common

-but also interesting.

0:25:170:25:20

-This can flower from the start

-of spring, through the summer...

0:25:210:25:25

-..and into the middle of winter.

0:25:250:25:28

-It's flowering here as it's

-a sheltered spot in the sunlight.

0:25:280:25:34

-These are wild roses.

0:25:400:25:42

-It's winter

-so doesn't have any flowers...

0:25:420:25:45

-..but some red rosehips or "bwcod."

0:25:460:25:49

-The red colour

-attracts birds to eat them.

0:25:490:25:52

-They digest the flesh...

0:25:520:25:54

-..but pass the seeds

-far away from the main plant.

0:25:540:26:00

-During World War II,

-Mam collected the rosehips...

0:26:000:26:04

-..and made a drink

-that was full of vitamin C...

0:26:040:26:09

-..as fruit was very scarce

-at that time.

0:26:090:26:12

-Last month, I gave you

-three leaves to recognize.

0:26:150:26:19

-I hope you can remember them...

0:26:190:26:22

-..because I've got another two

-for this month.

0:26:220:26:25

-We'll start with the ffawydden

-or the beech.

0:26:250:26:29

-The leaves are rounded

-and a bright green.

0:26:290:26:33

-The other one is over here.

0:26:340:26:36

-This is the "masarnen."

0:26:360:26:38

-It's similar to the leaf

-on the national flag of Canada.

0:26:390:26:44

-Some call it the "sycamorwydden."

0:26:440:26:47

-The correct Welsh term

-for the sycamore is the "masarnen."

0:26:470:26:51

-That's the beech and the sycamore.

0:26:510:26:53

-Many think November

-is a bleak month...

0:27:000:27:05

-..but the Burton Mere Wetlands RSPB

-Reserve disproves that theory.

0:27:050:27:10

-There's plenty to see.

0:27:100:27:12

-You won't see anything

-unless you get off that sofa...

0:27:120:27:16

-..and go outside to have fun.

0:27:160:27:18

-If you have a photograph or

-a question that needs answering...

0:27:180:27:23

-..contact us on Heno.

0:27:230:27:25

-Until next month, goodbye.

0:27:260:27:29

-Thank you, Iolo.

0:27:350:27:36

-Yes, get up off your sofas...

0:27:360:27:39

-..and go outside

-to enjoy the world around us...

0:27:390:27:43

-..after Bore Da has finished,

-of course!

0:27:430:27:46

-In the third part

-of the programme...

0:27:460:27:50

-..Yvonne hears about the importance

-of small shops to our communities.

0:27:500:27:55

-Gerallt celebrates

-the Month of Legends on S4C...

0:27:560:27:59

-..in the famous town of Beddgelert.

0:28:000:28:02

-Don't move a muscle!

-Small businesses are important

-to the local economy of Wales.

0:28:160:28:22

-This year, a popular shop in Powys

-marks its tenth anniversary.

0:28:220:28:27

-Yvonne went to hear about it.

0:28:270:28:29

-A visit to L'Armoire

-in Llanidloes...

0:28:370:28:40

-..is like stepping into

-a colourful wardrobe...

0:28:400:28:44

-..but you can also

-step back in time.

0:28:440:28:47

-This site was built in 1894

-by Edward Hamer.

0:28:490:28:54

-He was a butcher.

0:28:550:28:57

-It was open through two centuries.

0:28:570:29:00

-It closed in 2005...

0:29:010:29:03

-..and L'armoire has been here

-for about nine years.

0:29:030:29:07

-It's a fantastic building.

0:29:080:29:10

-We have the original tables

-where they chopped the meat...

0:29:100:29:14

-..and the original tiles

-and rails where the meat was hung.

0:29:140:29:19

-There's also the original till and

-one table is used as our counter.

0:29:190:29:24

-The well-known designer, Gok Wan...

0:29:250:29:28

-..is raising awareness about

-independent fashion stores.

0:29:280:29:33

-The shop had a special call

-from the man himself.

0:29:330:29:37

-He said, "I've hand-picked you to be

-part of our Fashion Brunch Club."

0:29:370:29:42

-He's taken this club through the UK

-but the event was held in Cardiff.

0:29:420:29:48

-He said, "I'd like to invite you

-to be the first shop...

0:29:480:29:52

-"..to take part in a live makeover."

0:29:520:29:55

-Laura's a good friend

-to those in the Llanidloes area...

0:29:550:29:59

-..and often helps good causes.

0:30:000:30:02

-I'm involved with a charity

-in Montgomeryshire.

0:30:030:30:06

-She's organized two fashion shows

-for us in the past...

0:30:060:30:10

-..and organized another one

-in the shop.

0:30:100:30:13

-She has raised over 5,000

-in that time which is invaluable.

0:30:130:30:19

-I enjoy learning Welsh

-because the customers speak Welsh...

0:30:190:30:24

-..and they are from all over Wales.

0:30:250:30:28

-Local residents enjoy supporting

-these independent businesses.

0:30:280:30:34

-I'm from Aberhafesp

-on the outskirts of Newtown.

0:30:340:30:37

-It's important to have

-this local shop.

0:30:380:30:41

-We don't have to go to the cities

-where there's too much choice!

0:30:420:30:47

-It's a lovely shop.

0:30:470:30:49

-I like seeing the new colours

-for the new season...

0:30:490:30:55

-..and finding things to suit me.

0:30:550:30:59

-This great shop puts Llanidloes on

-the map and helps the local economy.

0:30:590:31:05

-I remember it as a butcher's

-with all the meat on display...

0:31:080:31:12

-..and the butchers were friends

-with everyone in the area.

0:31:120:31:16

-The slaughterhouse

-was behind the shop.

0:31:170:31:21

-I'd bring lambs here with Dad.

0:31:210:31:24

-I never expected to sell clothes

-here after seeing all the sausages!

0:31:240:31:30

-November is the Month of Legends

-on S4C.

0:31:370:31:41

-Gelert is one of the popular legends

-in Wales.

0:31:410:31:44

-It's the story of the brave dog

-of Llywelyn the Great.

0:31:450:31:48

-One day, Llywelyn went hunting and

-left his faithful hound, Gelert...

0:31:480:31:53

-..to guard his small son.

0:31:530:31:56

-On Llywelyn's return, he discovers

-his dog in a pool of blood...

0:31:560:32:00

-..and his son

-is nowhere to be found...

0:32:000:32:03

-..so he kills his dog on the spot.

0:32:030:32:07

-Suddenly, he hears some crying.

0:32:070:32:09

-Gelert had hidden the young prince

-under the cradle...

0:32:100:32:13

-..safe from the big, nasty wolf.

0:32:130:32:16

-It's a tragic tale...

0:32:160:32:17

-..that gave the town of Beddgelert

-in Snowdonia its name.

0:32:170:32:22

-Gerallt Pennant learnt more

-about the story of Gelert.

0:32:220:32:26

-Playful, full of energy and faithful

-are true of Gelert and his owner.

0:32:290:32:35

-It's true that the dog

-is man's best friend.

0:32:350:32:38

-He's known officially as

-Gelert Jones but you call him Gel.

0:32:400:32:46

-Yes, he's Gel to us and

-we chose the name to suit the breed.

0:32:460:32:52

-He's faithful, friendly...

0:32:520:32:54

-..and very protective

-just like the legendary dog.

0:32:550:32:59

-What breed is he?

0:32:590:33:00

-What breed is he?

-

-He's a flat-coated retriever.

0:33:000:33:01

-He's a flat-coated retriever.

0:33:010:33:03

-His grandfather, Jet

-was Best In Show at Crufts in 2011.

0:33:040:33:08

-He was the first of his breed

-to do that.

0:33:090:33:11

-You must love him.

0:33:110:33:13

-You must love him.

-

-Yes, we do.

0:33:130:33:15

-Geraint and Gel

-are obviously great friends.

0:33:170:33:21

-One of the early books from the

-Y Lolfa Press refers to a Gelert.

0:33:210:33:26

-This particular Gelert

-was owned by Dennis Coslett...

0:33:260:33:30

-..one of the leaders

-of the Free Wales Army or FWA.

0:33:300:33:33

-This Gelert was trained

-to carry dynamite in his mouth.

0:33:340:33:38

-You can read about it in the book,

-To Dream Of Freedom.

0:33:380:33:42

-One Gelert stands out from them all.

0:33:420:33:45

-His story has been adopted

-by the town of Beddgelert.

0:33:460:33:51

-The name of Beddgelert stems from an

-eighth century saint called Celert.

0:33:540:34:00

-Today, the town

-attracts visitors and historians...

0:34:000:34:04

-..who look beyond the tragic tale

-of that faithful dog.

0:34:040:34:09

-It isn't the weather for walking

-any dog, let alone Gelert...

0:34:100:34:14

-..but people flock from afar

-to see the grave of this dog.

0:34:140:34:20

-Yes, and it's a familiar tale

-to every child in Wales.

0:34:210:34:26

-The true story is of David Pritchard

-who managed the Royal Goat Inn.

0:34:260:34:32

-It was the end

-of the 18th century...

0:34:320:34:35

-..and he wanted to attract visitors

-to Beddgelert.

0:34:360:34:40

-Pritchard saw his opportunity

-and he created this grave.

0:34:400:34:46

-The central stone looks like

-a pre-historic standing stone.

0:34:460:34:51

-They somehow created a grave...

0:34:520:34:54

-..that looks ancient...

0:34:550:34:57

-..but was actually created

-in the late 18th century.

0:34:570:35:03

-The local shop does a great trade

-in Gelert-themed items...

0:35:050:35:10

-..as it's home to one of the

-most famous legends of Wales.

0:35:100:35:15

-Does the legend of Gelert help

-a business owner in Beddgelert?

0:35:160:35:22

-It's a great way to attract people

-to the town.

0:35:230:35:27

-I don't just mean tourists.

0:35:270:35:29

-The story is part of the curriculum

-so we see a lot of children too.

0:35:290:35:35

-The people of Beddgelert

-are still grateful for this legend.

0:35:350:35:40

-Yes, it's a great story

-and thank heavens for it.

0:35:400:35:43

-That was very interesting.

0:35:520:35:54

-It's time for a break but in

-the final part of the programme...

0:35:540:35:58

-..we look back on the difficult days

-of World War II.

0:35:580:36:03

-Llinos Lee is on the set of

-The X Factor in Central London.

0:36:030:36:07

-Jodie Bird closes our programme

-with her song, Golau Gwan.

0:36:080:36:12

-Stay right where you are

-and I'll see you in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

0:36:290:36:30

-Today is Remembrance Sunday...

0:36:300:36:32

-..when we remember the sacrifices

-of the World Wars...

0:36:330:36:37

-..and every war

-that has followed since then.

0:36:370:36:40

-Megan Williams is one

-of the weather presenters on S4C...

0:36:400:36:44

-..and she has an incredible story

-to share with us on this day.

0:36:440:36:48

-The Llyn Peninsula is an area

-that is very close to my heart.

0:36:580:37:02

-It sits between

-the sea and the mountains...

0:37:030:37:06

-..where you get the best

-and the worst of weathers.

0:37:060:37:10

-My family's connection

-with the weather...

0:37:110:37:14

-..and with one specific relative...

0:37:140:37:16

-..goes back many decades.

0:37:170:37:19

-Henry Davies or Uncle Dave to me...

0:37:260:37:29

-..dedicated a lifetime of service

-to predicting the weather...

0:37:290:37:34

-..during one of the darkest times

-in Welsh and British history.

0:37:340:37:39

-His story remains

-close to our hearts to this day.

0:37:390:37:44

-Henry Davies was born in 1912

-at Borth y Gest.

0:37:450:37:50

-Taid was a captain

-with the Western Ocean Yachts...

0:37:500:37:54

-..so the sea was in his blood.

0:37:550:37:57

-Dad, his sister and brother...

0:37:570:38:00

-..enjoyed sailing to Porth Tocyn

-and Abersoch.

0:38:000:38:03

-He got to understand the wind

-and weather from a young age.

0:38:040:38:08

-He studied at Bangor University...

0:38:080:38:11

-..and moved to London in the 1930s

-where he joined the Met Office.

0:38:110:38:16

-At the outbreak of World War II...

0:38:170:38:20

-..those in the Met Office

-joined the RAF.

0:38:210:38:23

-His first posting was to Aldergrove

-in Northern Ireland...

0:38:240:38:28

-..at Bomber Command.

0:38:280:38:30

-He prepared the weather forecast...

0:38:300:38:33

-..for the bombers that searched

-the Atlantic Ocean for U-boats.

0:38:330:38:38

-In 1940,

-during the Battle of Britain...

0:38:400:38:43

-..he was at St Eval in Cornwall

-in the Fighter Command HQ.

0:38:430:38:48

-The area had a tendency to be foggy

-so the forecast was important.

0:38:480:38:52

-As I examined the meteorological

-documents of the era...

0:38:530:38:57

-..I was stunned to find the name

-of H Davies or Uncle Dave.

0:38:570:39:02

-Seeing it in black and white brought

-home the magnitude of his story.

0:39:020:39:07

-The contribution of these heroes

-to World War II was pivotal.

0:39:070:39:11

-I was amazed that they managed

-to predict the weather at all!

0:39:120:39:17

-It was much simpler

-and a lot less sophisticated.

0:39:170:39:21

-They didn't have the electronics

-and satellites that you have today.

0:39:210:39:27

-They relied on reports

-via telegraph communication...

0:39:270:39:31

-..from centres across Britain

-and further afield.

0:39:310:39:36

-Which missions were they

-involved with at that time?

0:39:360:39:40

-There's the D-Day Landings

-in Normandy in June 1944.

0:39:400:39:45

-This was a massive mission...

0:39:450:39:48

-..where 200,000 soldiers

-had to be moved across the Channel.

0:39:480:39:52

-The military operations had been

-planned to the last detail...

0:39:530:39:57

-..but they had no control

-over the weather.

0:39:570:40:00

-They had to wait for the reports and

-after a second meeting at 4.30am...

0:40:010:40:05

-..the Met Office told Eisenhower

-the weather would be fine that day.

0:40:050:40:11

-Eisenhower gave that famous

-final order of "let's go!"

0:40:120:40:17

-They launched the mission

-and it was very successful.

0:40:180:40:23

-The weather stayed calm...

0:40:230:40:25

-..and the Allied Forces

-landed safely in Normandy.

0:40:260:40:30

-Seventy years later, and

-the work of the meteorologists...

0:40:310:40:36

-..is as important at RAF Valley...

0:40:360:40:40

-..as it was

-in the time of Uncle Dave.

0:40:400:40:42

-Mat Davies is on duty

-in the Met Office today.

0:40:440:40:48

-How has it changed?

0:40:480:40:50

-It's very different these days.

0:40:500:40:53

-We didn't have computers

-before the 1980s.

0:40:540:40:58

-The person had to construct

-their own synoptic charts.

0:40:590:41:03

-These are some isobars

-I constructed.

0:41:030:41:06

-You can measure the wind speed

-from the gap between the two lines.

0:41:060:41:11

-A lot has changed

-since the early days.

0:41:110:41:14

-Computers do all

-the hard work by now...

0:41:140:41:18

-..but we didn't need them to tell us

-why the planes couldn't fly today!

0:41:190:41:24

-At the S4C weather headquarters

-on the cusp of Remembrance Sunday...

0:41:260:41:32

-..the story of Uncle Dave

-and the other heroes of the war...

0:41:320:41:36

-..will remain close to my heart.

0:41:370:41:39

-He would have been

-delighted to see you...

0:41:400:41:43

-..talking about deep depressions...

0:41:430:41:46

-..and isobars and warm fronts.

0:41:460:41:51

-It's a shame he isn't here

-to talk to you about it himself.

0:41:510:41:55

-That was an incredible story.

0:42:010:42:03

-Thank you for sharing it with us,

-Megan.

0:42:030:42:06

-Next, we enter the world

-of The X Factor.

0:42:060:42:09

-Llinos Lee

-had a special invitation...

0:42:090:42:12

-..to go behind the scenes

-of the series...

0:42:120:42:15

-..and meet the Welshman,

-Lloyd Macey.

0:42:150:42:19

0:42:190:42:25

0:42:250:42:31

0:42:310:42:38

-to be on that stage?

0:42:500:42:53

-It was a totally

-fantastic experience.

0:42:540:42:56

-I was nervous before going on stage.

0:42:570:42:59

-It was live and I had to do

-everything we'd rehearsed.

0:42:590:43:03

-I heard them announce

-"Lloyd Macey"...

0:43:030:43:06

-..and heard the audience

-and my family cheering...

0:43:060:43:10

-..so I just went out and enjoyed it.

0:43:100:43:12

-Who was in the audience

-to support you?

0:43:130:43:16

-There was Mam-gu or Nanny Chris,

-Mam and Dad...

0:43:160:43:19

-..my best friend Euros,

-two of my cousins...

0:43:190:43:22

-..and Buddug Verona James who is

-a great support and fantastic.

0:43:230:43:28

-Could you see them from the stage?

0:43:280:43:31

-I couldn't see them

-but could hear them.

0:43:310:43:34

-They represented Wales

-and were fantastic.

0:43:340:43:37

-The support from home has been

-fantastic and Wales is behind me.

0:43:380:43:42

-I've had messages from celebs.

0:43:570:44:01

-..and they are all over Wales.

0:44:020:44:04

-I've even spotted one in London

-so it's fantastic.

0:44:040:44:09

-How has your life changed

-since you started on this journey?

0:44:090:44:14

-My life has changed completely.

0:44:140:44:16

-I'm currently living

-in The X Factor bubble.

0:44:170:44:20

-I don't get to see the people

-at home who are supporting me.

0:44:200:44:24

-Every day is different.

0:44:240:44:26

-I'm having lessons in choreography,

-staging and singing...

0:44:260:44:30

-..and tips on performing

-and how to hold myself on stage.

0:44:310:44:36

-I've even had facials

-and spray tans!

0:44:370:44:39

-It's totally new for me.

0:44:390:44:41

-You also have a stylist

-and look great today.

0:44:420:44:45

-I'd like to say it's mine

-but I've borrowed it from wardrobe.

0:44:460:44:50

-Are you happy with the way

-they are styling you...

0:44:500:44:54

-..and your song choices?

0:44:540:44:57

-Are you happy with it all so far?

0:44:570:44:59

-Yes, because

-they really listen to me...

0:45:000:45:04

-..in terms of my styling

-and song choices.

0:45:040:45:09

-It works both ways.

0:45:090:45:10

-They help me

-to make these choices...

0:45:110:45:14

-..but I do tell them

-if I'm not happy with something.

0:45:140:45:18

-Louis, the music team

-and the stylists do listen to me.

0:45:180:45:24

-I'm happy and they're happy too

-which is great.

0:45:250:45:28

-and broken scab

0:46:440:46:49

-# Tearing the pure love apart

0:46:490:46:54

-# The black dog has a vicious bite

0:46:550:47:00

-# And challenges every belief

0:47:010:47:10

-# There's a faint light

-on the horizon

0:47:120:47:16

-# Give me a little glimmer

0:47:180:47:20

-# A sprig of heather

-in the middle of a moor

0:47:210:47:29

-# A faint light

-to light up the night

0:47:290:47:33

-# Oh-oh-oh

0:47:420:47:44

-# The faint light is my company #

0:47:450:47:55

-That was brilliant.

0:47:570:47:58

-Thank you, Jodie.
