-The government isn't responsible

-for closures of local shelters.

-The news has asked for an interview.

-The news has asked for an interview.

-

-Angharad never disappoints.

-I think we should take up the offer

-It's even better

-if the woman is a messenger.

-It's your head on the block.

-It's your head on the block.

-

-Yes.

-Someone authoritative

-even if I do say so myself.

-Alright, we'll do just that so

-make the appropriate arrangements.

-Your character is very smug.

-Yes, she got her own way.

-I was shocked to get the role.

-I didn't realize

-I had to play a Tory.

-It isn't a problem to play a Tory.

-You disagree with what

-your character has to say.

-Yes, I disagree with a lot

-of the Tory views.

-I had to apologize for some

-of the lines I had to say.

-I didn't think

-I was a political person.

-However, this has changed

-in the last five years.

-I think I've matured and realize

-I have an opinion.

-Are you fan of the series, Rhisiart?

-My brother is Ieuan Wyn Jones.

-in politics.

-Prior to the series...

-..it was spoken about

-in the UK press.

-Yes, and Nicola Sturgeon did write

-a tweet wishing us luck.

-They compare the series

-to a Scandinavian series.

-Yes, it has been compared

-to a Danish series.

-I don't think that is fair.

-We all have our own part

-in the series.

-You can learn a lot on Sunday night.

-Some secrets will be revealed.

-We'll have to wait until Sunday!

-In the next part of the programme...

-embark on a new career in Patagonia.

-I'm in Caernarfon.

-The singing is about to start.

-Join me to hear more later.

-I'm the monitor.

-I'll be working

-with the three teachers...

-..who will be working

-in Patagonia...

-..as well as all the volunteers

-who live and work in Chubut.

-I have to take charge of

-the budget and the teachers.

-How long will you be

-over in Patagonia?

-Many think that

-I'll be moving to Patagonia.

-I did live there in 2013.

-However, I'll be staying in Wales...

-..and speaking to people via Skype.

-I'll have to make a few visits

-to Patagonia...

-..during the year.

-You'll have to ask the man

-next to you!

-You started the new role.

-Gareth is the current monitor.

-His time is coming to an end.

-I'll work with him.

-The academic year starts in March.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-The singer, Zoe George

-has joined us now.

-Welcome to Heno, Zoe.

-I'm excited about this chat as

-I love musicals including Wicked.

-First, tell us more about yourself.

-I was born in Swansea and always

-had a passion for music and drama.

-My parents were also

-involved in stage musicals.

-But they were eager for me to

-follow a more academic route.

-They know how tough

-the industry can be.

-You needed something to fall back on

-in case it didn't work out.

-I studied for a Law degree

-at Swansea University.

-Following my graduation, I had

-a chance to take the main role...

-..in a new musical called

-Swansea Women at the Grand Theatre.

-My parents gave me their blessing

-as I had a degree behind me.

-It was an amazing role to play.

-I told an agent in the audience that

-I wanted to perform professionally.

-You started out in the Grand and

-have just finished performing there.

-You've come full circle having

-starred in the Christmas panto.

-I was in Jack and the Beanstalk

-and I played Princess Apricot.

-Michael Colbourne was Jack and Louie

-Spence was the Spirit of the Beans.

-Louie was full of energy

-both on and off the stage.

-It sounds like you had a lot of fun.

-Before panto, you were also part

-of the popular Wicked musical tour.

-What was it like

-playing the main role?

-It was an amazing show and

-I was the understudy for Elphaba.

-She is the Wicked Witch

-and wears green make-up.

-My first performance was in front

-of a home crowd in Cardiff.

-My friends and family came to see me

-and my mother was in tears!

-When I didn't play the main role,

-I was a munchkin and witch hunter.

-You've also performed

-in Aladdin and Quasimodo.

-What's been the highlight for you?

-How can you top Wicked?

-The song I'm performing later is

-from the musical, Les Miserables.

-I love the show

-but Wicked was a dream job.

-What about your Law degree?

-I'll never go back to it

-and my parents are fine about it.

-They tell me,

-"As long you get into money!"

-We look forward to your performance

-and thank you for joining us.

-Tonight, Pwllheli honours

-one of its famous natives.

-Cynan, the poet composed the poems,

-Mab y Bwthyn and Aberdaron.

-The event will ensure that his work

-is celebrated within his home town.

-Elin has the story.

-Tonight, Neuadd Dwyfor in Pwllheli

-hosts a special concert...

-..to unveil a bust of one

-of Wales' best poets, namely Cynan.

-The hall is opposite the house

-where he was born.

-Albert Evans-Jones was born in 1895

-and made his mark on Wales.

-Cynan won three Eisteddfod Crowns

-and one Eisteddfod Chair...

-..and published many books.

-The residents of the Lleyn Peninsula

-honour him in various ways.

-I remember him saying...

-..that authors and poets are blessed

-to be born in certain places.

-He was grateful to have been raised

-in Pwllheli.

-A lot of his work has references

-to the Lleyn Peninsula.

-"When I am old and respectable,

-with money in my pocket

-"All the critiques are over

-and everyone sings my praises

-"I'll buy myself a cottage looking

-at nothing but the Aberdaron rocks

-"And the wild waves of the ocean."

-Literature and the Eisteddfod

-go hand-in-hand...

-..and the National Eisteddfod

-was one of Cynan's greatest loves.

-His contribution

-to the Eisteddfod is priceless.

-Nobody has done more

-for the Eisteddfod than Cynan.

-He cherished the Eisteddfod

-and Gorsedd of Bards.

-He was the secretary of the council,

-joint-secretary, recorder...

-..president of the court

-and had two terms as the Archdruid.

-He carried out all these roles

-with dignity and prosperity.

-Cynan was a minister before becoming

-a tutor at Bangor University.

-He spent his final years

-on Anglesey.

-He wrote about many places in Wales

-but never forgot his roots...

-..and Pwllheli

-hasn't forgotten him either.

-He's an important poet both

-for Pwllheli and the whole of Wales.

-The people of Pwllheli

-claim him as their own.

-Yes, that's right.

-How will you be honouring a man

-such as Cynan?

-The only thing you can do

-is create a bust.

-It's something for us

-and for many generations to come.

-John Meirion Morris

-was commissioned to make the bust.

-He's made many busts

-of our nation's legends.

-It's an honour to create any bust.

-You're dealing with a personality so

-you have to portray it at its best.

-First, you take a large piece

-of clay and beat it into a lump.

-I tend to shape it

-with a simple piece of wood.

-There's the basic shape until

-the character starts to emerge.

-I read some of Cynan's work.

-I like to do that because I don't

-know how much it influences me.

-There's something dignified

-about Cynan.

-I enjoyed doing it and am grateful

-to the council for the commission.

-I feel very honoured

-that the Heno viewers and me...

-..can see the bust of Cynan

-before anybody else.

-It's a pleasure to show you,

-so are you ready?

-Yes, let's go.

-Wow! It's worth seeing.

-Wow! It's worth seeing.

-

-Yes, it is.

-There's a chance to view the bust

-at Pwllheli's town library.

-It's certainly worth seeing.

-In the final part of the programme,

-Rhodri Gomer gets his skates on.

-It's impossible to concentrate.

-After the break,

-you'll see the pros in action.

-The Cardiff Eagles Ice Hockey team

-start their new season this weekend.

-We also enjoy a song

-from Zoe George.

-But we head to the break with our

-Calendar of your fabulous events.

-There's a Welsh learners coffee

-morning at Ty Tawe in Swansea...

-..every Saturday from 10.00am

-to 12.00pm and all are welcome.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Whilst we tuck ourselves up in bed

-on Thursday nights...

-..a crew of ice hockey players

-start their weekly training session.

-The Cardiff Eagles Hockey Team

-train every Thursday at 11.00pm.

-We sent Rhodri Gomer to last night's

-session ahead of their new season.

-Last year, we marked ten years

-of being the Cardiff Eagles.

-It started as an ice hockey tutorial

-by the Cardiff Devil, Ed Patterson.

-It's gone from strength to strength.

-We're a recreational team

-with players of all abilities.

-Some played at a high level

-for the under 19s...

-..whilst others either started later

-in life or are returning to it.

-We play in

-the Southern Conference league.

-It follows the M4 corridor

-from Cardiff to Milton Keynes.

-I've only been ice skating once

-before and I wasn't very good...

-..but first, I

-had to get into the kit.

-After 30 minutes of dressing in

-my safety gear...

-..I was ready to hit the rink

-- hopefully not literally!

-I'm Namby Pamby because

-I don't want to let go of the side!

-It's terrifying.

-It's very popular in Cardiff.

-The Cardiff Devils are doing well

-and play to sell-out crowds.

-We've got plenty of players

-with 30 on our books now.

-There's plenty of clubs in Cardiff

-and one is in the same league...

-..and there are other

-recreational clubs too.

-I'm growing in confidence on the ice

-and getting used to it...

-..but I've got to concentrate

-because it's far from easy.

-I won't be doing that.

-I'm getting more emails from people

-who are interested in the sport.

-It's partly to do the success of

-the Cardiff Devils, the new rink...

-..and the fact the Cardiff Devils

-are getting more press coverage.

-That was my first goal

-in ice hockey.

-It wasn't the best.

-My second goal in ice hockey

-was a bit better.

-We've got a home game against

-Peterborough this weekend.

-It's at 8.30pm which is a great time

-after the Devils' game.

-Those interested should visit our

-website and contact me by email.

-We train every Thursday at 11.00pm.

-People think of ice hockey as being

-fast, physical and full of skill.

-Whilst I'm on the ice,

-it's nothing of the sort.

-I'm ruining the game's image

-so I'd better go!

-I can't stop laughing!

-Have you been to a burlesque show?

-No. What about you?

-I've been to the Moulin Rouge

-in Paris.

-You're invited to the Imperial Hotel

-in Llandudno this weekend...

-..to watch the performances

-in the flesh!

-But the North Wales

-Festival of Burlesque and Cabaret...

-..has a lot more to offer.

-This is the second North Wales

-Festival of Burlesque and Cabaret...

-..and there's a lot of events

-taking place this weekend.

-People think burlesque is simply

-women taking their clothes off...

-..but there's an array of dancing

-including pole dancing.

-Foxee Stole does some comedy and

-it's a real mix of entertainment.

-There's also Erwyd, the first jester

-in Conwy for 700 years.

-We've got music

-and I'll be playing the guitar.

-There's magic and some of the acts

-are quite dangerous...

-..and include

-walking on broken glass.

-We've got various workshops

-for children and photography.

-These days, people want quality

-entertainment in different mediums.

-We offer that to our audiences

-and I'm sure everyone will have fun.

-It looks like a lot of fun!

-Llandudno is the place to go.

-Rebecca Harries and Rhisiart Arwel

-have been our studio guests.

-Rhisiart is the new Welsh Language

-Project academic monitor...

-We look forward to celebrating

-20 years of the project next year.

-Remind us

-about Byw Celwydd, Rebecca.

-You can see Byw Celwydd on Sunday at

-9.00pm and is repeated on Tuesday.

-predictions were correct, Llinos.

-Thank you for joining us.

-Don't forget to join us on Monday.

-We leave you with Zoe George

-performing Breuddwydio Wnes.
