-This is Wez, he's 16

-and he splits his life in two.

-He's a school pupil

-and a successful actor.

-In his latest project, he stars

-in a drama series for young people.

-Wez and his fellow young

-cast members spend weeks on set...

-..away from home.

-My dressing room is there.

-I can relax in there

-when I've finished in the studio.

-I took up acting when I was six.

-I had small parts in Doctors,

-Casualty and Doctor Who.

-I've also been in films

-and I've acted in the theatre.

-This is the production office.

-Jake keeps everyone organized.

-He's working away in there.

-I'm filming The Sparticle Mystery,

-which is shown on CBBC.

-It's a sci-fi drama

-for young people.

-I play Jeffrey and I enjoy the role.

-Jeffrey is disabled, like me,

-so I understand how he feels.

-These trailers are for people

-who come in for a day.

-In the first series,

-Jeffrey was in a wheelchair...

-..but he could still do the things

-he wanted to do, just like me.

-This is make-up.

-I come in here and they put

-gel and wax in my hair and mud too.

-They put foundation on my face

-to make me look better.

-There was a photo of me here.

-Everyone went up to it

-and kissed it.

-We now have one, two, three,

-four, five people there.

-You can't see me now.

-Wez and his family live

-in a village just outside Cardiff.

-When Wez was born,

-not enough oxygen reached his brain.

-It affected his health.

-When I was born,

-there were complications...

-..and I now have cerebral palsy.

-When Wez was young,

-he had a huge operation...

-..so he could walk more easily.

-This is him before the operation.

-Wez was in hospital for weeks

-as he recovered from the operation.

-It's been a long journey for Wez...

-..and he's spent a lot of time

-in hospital over the years.

-My legs aren't straight when I walk

-and my feet turn inwards.

-I enjoy exercising and lifting

-weights to strengthen my arms.

-I had treatment when I was ten.

-They removed nerves from my back.

-This is my scar.

-Learning to walk again

-was hard work.

-The physio was tough too.

-If I hadn't had the treatment,

-I may have been in a wheelchair now.

-the way I walk and think it's weird.

-I don't react to it.

-When I was little,

-I felt really upset about it.

-Sometimes, I'm in pain

-and I need to sit down.

-I'm a different person

-than the one I could have been...

-..because it taught me to be strong.

-Now that Wez is 16,

-he wants to take responsibility...

-..and make his own decisions

-about his health.

-Wez wears splints on his legs.

-He's in hospital because

-the old ones are getting too small.

-since I was eight years old.

-I come here every six months.

-I need new splints.

-

-Right back here.

-I'm happy to come here.

-It's a brilliant hospital.

-Sometimes, it's hard to take time

-off school to come up here...

-..and do

-everything they want me to do.

-It takes a long time

-to change my splints...

-..but they feel good now.

-That looks good to me.

-How do they feel?

-How do they feel?

-

-They feel good.

-Filming can also be

-a long process...

-..but Wez works the same hours

-as everyone else.

-I think it's important for people

-to see disabled people on TV.

-It helps them understand

-that everyone's different.

-A lot of the roles I've had

-are disabled characters.

-I enjoy it...

-..but I don't want to

-only play disabled characters.

-I'd like to have a chance

-to play different characters.

-Wez and Grace, who plays Holly,

-are good friends.

-Grace.

-This is why I don't film with him!

-She does anything she wants.

-She doesn't let anything stop her.

-The disability comes into that.

-

-Very determined.

-Legend.

-Legend.

-

-Doniol. Is that funny in Welsh?

-before Wez shoots his next scene.

-I'm going to the set

-to start filming another scene.

-I've been waiting in the trailer

-for a long time.

-I can't say too much, but we're

-running down a corridor and I trip.

-It's very exciting and very tense.

-I don't want to be famous.

-Being good is all that counts.

-Jeffrey, my character, uses a stick.

-I don't wear my splints on set

-because they change the way I move.

-The splints make acting harder.

-Wez divides his time between acting,

-schoolwork and hospital visits.

-Today, he'll discuss his condition

-with his surgeon, Mr Roberts.

-Today, the doctors

-will look at the way my legs move.

-Wez was born with a condition

-that causes stiffness in his legs.

-This stiffness makes it difficult

-for him to walk at a normal speed.

-Perfect.

-I know the doctors well

-because I've been here many times.

-It's just like going to the dentist.

-One appointment is over

-and now, the hard work begins.

-They'll film my legs

-to see how they move.

-As Wez walks, cameras film

-his movements from several angles.

-This process will discover how

-Wez's legs are growing and changing.

-It's interesting to see the

-technology they use to film my legs.

-I've been in that room before,

-when I was little.

-My parents used to ask questions.

-It's nice that I can now

-put my own questions to the doctors.

-They've talked about

-breaking my leg in the future...

-..and rotating it,

-so I can walk straight.

-But it's quite risky.

-Wez will decide whether or not

-he'll have one more big operation...

-..to improve the way he walks.

-It really should be your decision.

-It's an option to say, "That's it!

-This is me. This is how I am."

-Mr Roberts told me I have plenty

-of time to opt for treatment or not.

-I think it's important

-to finish school first...

-..and talk to him again after that.

-I'll see you

-when you come in for Christmas.

-He's a very positive person

-and that's made a huge difference.

-He doesn't see himself as disabled

-in any way.

-He just does the best that he can.

-I'm happy

-I don't have to choose now.

-It's nice that there's an option

-to have treatment in the future.

-It may sound a bit strange...

-..but I am who I am

-because of what's happened to me.

-My disability is part of me.

-Without the disability,

-I wouldn't be me.

-Here's a chance to enjoy some chats

-Matt Johnson and I had...

-..on the Hwb sofa.

-For help to follow the programme,

-use the website and the app...

-..and don't forget the subtitles!

-Nice to see you.

-Now, I want to know

-about Sion A Sian.

-I haven't seen any of it yet

-but I'm looking forward to it.

-Do you enjoy filming Sion A Sian?

-Yes, I love it!

-Sion A Sian wasn't on my radar.

-I received a call out of the blue,

-asking if I'd like to present it.

-I wanted to have an active role

-in the content...

-..including the people

-chosen as contestants.

-I asked if I could

-co-produce the series.

-Oh, so you're producing too?

-Yes, I'm co-producing...

-..and I'm co-presenting

-with Heledd Cynwal.

-Mind your mutations!

-Rhosllannerchrugog!

-I'll press a button to send you

-shooting up in the air!

-I'm having a great time.

-Do some couples argue on the show?

-Do some couples argue on the show?

-

-Yes.

-The problem is some of the questions

-are very, very simple...

-..but people

-get in a lather about them.

-They can analyze the question

-and the answer they give.

-They know the correct answer...

-..but they don't think

-that's what their partner will say.

-You only win money

-if your answers match.

-The contestants

-are the stars of the show.

-What is this Seren Rhos?

-What is this Seren Rhos?

-

-It was a TV programme.

-We produced a series called

-Seren Bethlehem three years ago.

-In that, we asked the Bethlehem

-community to stage a Christmas show.

-Yes, it was a community show.

-When we decided

-to make a second series...

-..I fancied giving the dialect and

-the people of Rhos a stage on S4C.

-Stifyn comes from Rhos.

-This is a good

-pronunciation for you!

-Rhosllannerchrugog.

-Rhosllannerchrugog.

-

-I'm never going to say that!

-My uncle called it

-Rhos Flannel Tree Frog!

-Oh, fantastic!

-Rhosllannerchrugog.

-Rhos-rhannech-rhugog?

-Llannerch.

-Llannerch.

-

-Llannerchrugog.

-Rhosllannerchrugog.

-Rhosllannerchrugog.

-

-He's good, isn't he?

-We went to Rhos and we asked the

-local people to stage a pantomime.

-We had to come up with a gimmick

-to launch the Seren Rhos idea...

-..and what we ended up with was me

-dressed as a fairy godmother.

-I've lost weight since then.

-I've lost weight since then.

-

-You looked lovely!

-I was a buxom fairy!

-You've acted on TV, in the theatre

-and on film.

-What's the appeal of acting?

-I want people to look at me!

-We're all the same!

-Yes, and being somebody else.

-A different person.

-Escaping from myself.

-Dianc. Do you know what it means?

-I've heard it before.

-I've heard it before.

-

-Escape.

-Escapism?

-Escapism?

-

-Yes.

-It takes me away from my everyday

-life and away from me, as a person.

-I become someone different.

-I become someone different.

-

-That's interesting.

-I'd like to escape from myself.

-I'd like to escape from myself.

-

-I'd like to escape from you too!

-What's directed in Welsh?

-What's directed in Welsh?

-

-Wedi cyfarwyddo.

-Wedi is have,

-then you just use the verb.

-Have you ever directed?

-I don't like directing...

-..and I've only done it once,

-on a series called Pris Y Farchnad.

-I directed two scenes.

-I prefer being inside myself.

-I'm not cut out for directing...

-..though I do enjoy telling people

-what to do in real life!

-I prefer being in the fantasy world,

-rather than directing...

-..where you've got to be

-on the outside.

-Directing has never appealed to me.

-You act both in Welsh and English.

-Which language to you prefer?

-Because I received

-my initial training...

-..and did my first work

-through the medium of Welsh...

-..Welsh is easier.

-I'm totally bilingual and I'm

-comfortable when I speak English...

-..but I only ever acted in Welsh

-during my early career.

-I hadn't thought I'd want to act in

-English at any point in my career...

-..because being an actress was part

-of the changing times of the 1970s.

-Being part of the theatre was a

-contribution to the cultural world.

-Being part of a theatre

-was important...

-..to contribute to Wales,

-as a country and as a nation.

-Would you class yourself

-as a nationalist?

-Yes.

-I asked her if she's a nationalist.

-Yes, and you were

-a little bit naughty!

-What's you've been arrested

-in Welsh?

-Ges ti dy arestio?

-Were you arrested?

-Were you arrested?

-

-Yes, I was.

-I daubed paint

-on the wall of the Welsh Office.

-I've done nothing compared to

-the people who've been imprisoned.

-I was detained in the police cells

-for four or five hours.

-That's nothing!

-Still, you were there!

-I was happy to be able to make

-a small contribution...

-..due to the fact I was well-known,

-thanks to my work as an actress.

-People who are in the public eye can

-make a stand for the Welsh language.

-If public figures stand up

-and support the language...

-..it has a greater impact.
