-Hello and welcome

-to your Thursday edition of Heno.

-I've got some interesting guests

-in the studio tonight.

-There's the DJ, Huw Stephens,

-the presenter, Aled Sam...

-..and the journalist, Nia Medi.

-I look forward to chatting

-with all three of you tonight.

-Our cameras have hit the roads again

-and Daf Wyn is in Swansea.

-I'm in a very wet Swansea.

-Do you recognize this car?

-It's the AC Cobra driven

-by the Ifans brothers in Twin Town.

-The iconic film is 20 years old

-and it's being celebrated tonight.

-What have you got for us, Gerallt?

-Stay exactly where you are.

-Theatr Bara Caws is rehearsing their

-farce, Dim Byd Ynni by Emlyn Gomer.

-The company is marking 40 years...

-..and there's going to be a big

-party at the National Eisteddfod.

-Forget yoga, flower arranging

-and knitting...

-..because Mari has found

-a new way to relax.

-Making your own pottery

-has become very popular.

-I've come to the Gwili Pottery to

-learn about the appeal of this art.

-Good evening to you.

-Welcome to Singleton Park

-in Swansea.

-It's a very wet evening.

-The wet weather

-isn't dampening our spirits.

-The iconic film, Twin Town

-was released 20 years ago.

-I'm a little young to remember

-when Twin Town was released.

-Rhodri Davies traces the history

-of the cult classic, Twin Town.

-Yes, Twin Town

-is one of those films.

-Any Welsh person of a certain age...

-..remembers when they saw the film

-for the first time.

-It made a massive impact...

-..and gave a very unusual portrayal

-of Wales and Swansea...

-..but the locations

-and faces are so familiar.

-Excuse me, can you take me?

-OK, thank you.

-# Just listen to the music

-of the traffic in the city

-# Linger on the sidewalk

-where the neon signs are pretty #

-Twin Town was released in 1997

-which is 20 years ago.

-It was the period of Cool Britannia

-and Trainspotting.

-This is one of the opening locations

-of the film.

-Two dodgy policemen meet their drug

-dealer in the cafe across the road.

-It reflected a lower strata

-of society.

-Danny Boyle did the same

-with Trainspotting.

-It was a hidden, unfamiliar world

-that truly existed.

-Trainspotting was very dark

-whereas Twin Town played for laughs.

-Welsh films were historic and

-modern films were sedate and twee.

-All of a sudden, this monster

-landed in our cinemas...

-..full of bad language,

-drug taking and wild behaviour.

-It had well-known Pobol y Cwm actors

-misbehaving in the best way.

-It's full of memorable

-and fantastic quotes...

-..but most are filled

-with foul language.

-I can't quote a lot of the lines

-from Twin Town at 7.00pm on Heno!

-# Sing it with

-all the saints in glory #

-This is Bonymaen Rugby Club that

-doubled as Bryn Cartwright's club.

-It's where Fatty had his accident

-and where Williams played rugby.

-The twins also came here

-in their Cobra and ruined the pitch.

-The twins are the least

-interesting characters of the film.

-They are immature brothers

-who live in each other's pockets...

-..and behave like rapscallions.

-The main plot is them seeking

-revenge for their father's accident.

-Their father, Fatty is adorable

-and we all know someone like Fatty.

-Bryn Cartwright is the main baddie

-and we know these types of people.

-The soundtrack featured the Manics,

-Super Furries and Catatonia.

-It all came together and people saw

-something new coming out of Wales.

-Twin Town

-has survived because of it.

-This is where

-it all comes to a head.

-A drowning, a burial and a choir can

-only be found at the Mumbles Pier.

-The film concludes here with

-Fatty's funeral and a singing choir.

-The brothers escape to Africa

-after the funeral.

-People think of the Mumbles Pier

-as the site of Fatty's funeral...

-..and Bonymaen Rugby Club as the

-place the twins raced their Cobra.

-Twin Town is a real cult classic.

-A lot of people have visited Swansea

-as a result of this film.

-I'm joined by the director

-of Twin Town, Kevin Allen.

-It's been 20 years

-since the film was released.

-I can't believe it!

-Why is the film so iconic?

-I don't know.

-It's turned into something.

-You can never tell that this

-is going to happen.

-It seems to have grown.

-I'm really chuffed with it.

-What was the inspiration

-behind the film?

-It was loosely based on a

-documentary I made for the BBC.

-There were themes in that...

-..that could be transferred

-into a film.

-There is going to be a follow-up

-to Twin Town.

-The follow-up film is called

-Tin Town and based in Llanelli.

-I know that area well.

-All my family is from Llanelli.

-Llanelli is nearby

-but very different to Swansea.

-It's about time Llanelli

-had some of the action.

-What's happening here tonight?

-It's the showing of Twin Town.

-We've got hot dogs

-and a question and answer session.

-There's a surprise

-at the end of the film.

-It's something to do with the choir.

-Carys Howells Jones

-is a Twin Town superfan.

-My husband and I can recite scenes

-from the film.

-I'm from Llanelli.

-I know the locations from the film.

-We'll have more from Swansea

-later in the programme.

-Thank you, Daf.

-Do you remember Twin Town, Huw?

-I loved Twin Town!

-I was 16 when it was released.

-The soundtrack was great too.

-It's a great idea to show

-that film there.

-I'm sure

-it'll be a brill atmosphere.

-How is life, Huw?

-I've had a great time so far.

-There's been Glastonbury.

-I'm also going to the Eisteddfod

-and Festival No 6.

-You share your time

-between Cardiff and London.

-Huw is presenting the Pavilion Gig

-at this year's National Eisteddfod.

-This year's Pavilion Gig

-is a sell out.

-The Pavilion Gig is held on the

-Thursday night of the Eisteddfod.

-The line-up includes Yws Gwynedd,

-Yr Eira, Alys Williams...

-..Mr Phormula, Owain Llwyd

-and Welsh Pops Orchestra.

-It will be recorded for the future.

-All the bands enjoyed it last night.

-I'm the compere of the night.

-It's an easy job.

-I've seen the Instagram stories

-from the Eisteddfod this week.

-It's great to see Ed Holden

-performing with an orchestra.

-There's so much talent

-on Anglesey and from North Wales.

-Ed Holden is from Anglesey.

-Maes B is 20 years old.

-I'm too old for Maes B...

-..so am only there as a DJ!

-I'll be there on Friday night.

-Huw is a DJ on Radio 1

-which is celebrating 50 years.

-It's a great milestone for Radio 1.

-Tony Blackburn

-was the first presenter on Radio 1.

-There's a pop-up radio.

-It features a lot

-of the past presenters.

-You are fantastic on the radio.

-I work in the evenings on Radio 1.

-Aled Hayden Jones

-is now your boss at Radio 1.

-Yes, Aled is my boss now!

-Aled is also doing a lot on S4C.

-I haven't seen him

-since his appointment.

-Radio Cymru is 40 years old too.

-Yes, I still work on Radio Cymru.

-Alun Tan Lan has done a session

-for my programme at 8.00pm.

-I played Swnami on Radio Cymru

-and Radio 1.

-Thank you, Huw.

-After the break, I'll be welcoming

-Aled Sam to the studio.

-There's also a preview of the latest

-production by Theatr Bara Caws.

-Daf also has more for us

-from Swansea.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Gerallt has been enjoying himself

-with the actors of Theatr Bara Caws.

-The team is preparing

-for a busy week of performances...

-..at the Eisteddfod.

-Gerallt has had a sneak preview

-of their farce called Dim Byd Ynni.

-Betsan Llwyd and the cast of Dim Byd

-Ynni are counting down the days...

-..until that first performance

-at Theatr Fach y Maes on Sunday.

-This year's Eisteddfod mark

-a milestone for Theatr Bara Caws.

-It's an important year for Theatr

-Bara Caws as we mark 40 years.

-We're celebrating in many ways and

-Gwasg Carreg Gwalch has a book...

-..about the 40 years of Bara Caws

-and will be sold at the Eisteddfod.

-Dim Byd Ynni, a new farce by Emlyn

-Gomer is our celebratory production.

-What's Geriach

-doing in the cupboard?

-It's a good place for storage.

-Geriach is our butler.

-He's probably looking for something.

-He's probably looking for something.

-

-With a bread knife in his back.

-I play Candi Mel, Miss Llwyd,

-Dyddgu Ddu and Prompt.

-There's a lot

-of panicking backstage...

-..quick costume changes

-and remembering the correct cues.

-I haven't done this before but

-there's a lot of freedom in a farce.

-You can do things such as jumping

-around on chairs so I'm enjoying it.

-After you, Carnbern.

-Thank you, I won't forget this.

-Stay exactly where you are.

-Hm-hm... well...

-It's all set in the study of Sir

-Felix ap Llywarch in Dolbythwyrdd.

-A lot of things happen in the drama.

-There's a murder, theft, blackmail

-and all sorts of things.

-If you want to know

-the identity of the murderer...

-I think I'm going to make a cuppa.

-Would you like a cuppa?

-Would you like a cuppa?

-

-No, thank you.

-That's a shame!

-That's a shame!

-

-Ouch!

-Ouch!

-Happy 40th birthday

-to Theatr Bara Caws, Betsan.

-You've chosen to do a farce

-which will make us think and laugh.

-A farce is an interesting

-genre of theatre.

-Dim Byd Ynni by Emlyn Gomer has all

-the traditional farcical elements.

-Doors open and close and people

-get caught together and so on.

-The farce is based on a new

-and corrupt energy company.

-It's also about the power

-of these large energy providers...

-..that is very relevant to Anglesey.

-A farce is entertaining

-so after a tiring day on the Maes...

-..join us at 7.30pm at Theatr Fach

-y Maes from Sunday to Wednesday.

-What's the point

-in keeping a dog...

-..and maintaining two fires

-in an old house?

-I don't know.

-I don't know.

-

-So that's that.

-After Gwasg Carreg Gwalch launches

-the book at the Eisteddfod...

-..there's a party that's open to all

-who's been involved with Bara Caws.

-It's for actors, technicians,

-audience members and supporters.

-Join us at the launch at Theatr

-Fach y Maes at 2.00pm on Friday...

-..or celebrate at Caffi'r Theatrau

-from 3.00pm onwards.

-Good luck to everyone

-at Theatr Bara Caws.

-Visit the Theatr Bara Caws website

-for full details.

-All are welcome at their birthday

-party at 2.00pm on Friday...

-..in the Theatr Fach y Maes.

-It's time for a chat with Aled Sam.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-You're going to the Eisteddfod,

-Aled.

-I'll be at the Eisteddfod

-on Wednesday.

-I'll be launching my new book.

-I want to start with your column.

-Aled pens a weekly column about

-life and people in Golwg magazine.

-You're on the back page.

-It's a bit like the

-"And finally.." that you get...

-..at the end of the News At Ten.

-What do you write about?

-I don't focus on anything specific.

-Do ideas come to you easily?

-Things come to me sometimes...

-..and I get four of five ideas

-in a week or so.

-There are other times

-when I get writer's block.

-I enjoy it.

-It's a weekly challenge.

-People enjoy it...

-..because it means

-I got to produce the book.

-The new book is an accumulation

-of your columns from Golwg magazine.

-Aled's new book is Ac Yn Olaf:

-Myfyrdodau Canol Oed.

-It's odd to see the book.

-"Aled Sam is one of our

-national treasures."

-That's what it says on the back.

-I didn't write that!

-I don't know who wrote that.

-The columns have been edited

-for the book.

-There's enough columns

-to make another book.

-There are a lot of photographs.

-We can see you on Barry.

-We can see you in Barry.

-I was on a Sunday School trip.

-There's a photograph of my caravan.

-I'd forgotten the keys

-for the caravan.

-That was a low point!

-We can see myself relaxing at home.

-That was a weak point.

-I like the next one of the car.

-That's my Merc!

-It's done 240,000 miles.

-My wife hates it.

-Good luck with the book launch.

-You've appeared in the series,

-Gerddi Cymru on S4C in recent years.

-A new series called Pobl a'u Gerddi

-will be starting on S4C soon.

-The new series

-is about private gardens.

-It's similar to 04Wal

-from many years ago...

-..but is based on gardens.

-It should air in October.

-Thank you, Aled.

-Tune in to S4C tonight at 9.30pm

-for Josh Griffiths: Mr Marathon.

-The Gorslas runner will compete

-in Sunday's World Championships.

-He's a success story and here is

-a clip from tonight's programme.

-The London Marathon on 23 April

-saw a 23-year-old Welshman...

-..cause the biggest shock

-in the history of the race.

-I never thought he'd do something

-like that in a million years.

-He must be an international to do

-that time and he wasn't breathless.

-He's done something that thousands

-of athletes are envious about.

-Don't forget to tune in at 9.30pm.

-Aled enjoys going for a run.

-I don't run like Josh.

-I've seen Josh take part in

-the Park Run at Llyn Llech Owain.

-He's done amazingly well.

-He deserves his success.

-After the break...

-..Emma offers advice on suitable

-make-up for teens to wear at school.

-Join me in Singleton Park.

-It's the 20th anniversary

-of the film Twin Town.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Welcome to Singleton Park

-in Swansea.

-The cult film, Twin Town is being

-screened here on its 20th birthday.

-I'm joined by Mr and Mrs Cartwright

-from the film Twin Town...

-..or Sue Roderick

-and William Thomas.

-Are you surprised by the turnout

-tonight?

-It's amazing.

-It's fantastic to see the car.

-We didn't expect this at all.

-I can't believe this after 20 years.

-Why do you think that

-the film was such a success?

-It's a great film.

-It's hilarious.

-It stands the test of time.

-It's as good now as it

-was when it was released.

-It's still funny.

-We had a lot of fun when we made it.

-It was still hard work.

-What are you doing here tonight

-apart from watching the film?

-I'm having a Dandelion and Burdock!

-We're here to promote

-the new film of Tin Town.

-There's also a question and answer

-session.

-I don't know if I have a favourite

-part.

-I love it

-when Fatty falls off the roof.

-I can't repeat the line.

-Good luck with Tin Town.

-Earlier, you mentioned you were

-too young to remember Twin Town...

-..when it was released 20 years ago.

-I happen to know that you watched it

-ahead of tonight's screening.

-Did you enjoy it?

-You'll have to say that again.

-Did you enjoy watching the film?

-Yes, I've got my own copy.

-I going to get the cast to sign it.

-I remember the film

-when it was released.

-Are you a fan of Twin Town, Nia?

-Unfortunately, I'm old enough

-to remember when it was released.

-There's so many great one-liners.

-It's time for us to catch up

-with the journalist, Nia Medi.

-Nia has just been on a holiday

-with a difference in Greece.

-Tell us about it.

-We're all aware of the recent

-refugee crisis in Greece.

-We all read the statistics.

-I didn't really understand

-what was happening.

-I knew about the war in Iraq

-and Syria.

-I wanted to know more about it.

-I decided to fly to Greece.

-A friend of mine had been

-a volunteer in the country.

-I flew to Athens to stay with

-a refugee from Iraq called Zena.

-Zena and her children

-escaped the war in Iraq.

-Zena was my host and I stayed

-with her at her apartment.

-I didn't see anything of Athens.

-It was all about her personal story.

-Was she happy to share the story?

-Yes, she was.

-She insisted that I stayed

-with her...

-..and didn't want me

-to stay in a hotel.

-She only wanted me to hear

-her story.

-Zena comes from a middle-class

-background and she was well off.

-Zena's husband refused to join the

-militia in Iraq and fled his home.

-Zena has yet to be reunited with her

-husband who is somewhere in Europe.

-Zena and her children set out on a

-2,000km walk to the Turkish border.

-The family are still yet

-to be reunited.

-There's a long process.

-It's very complicated.

-That was just one of the stories

-that started this journey for me.

-I wanted to visit the camps.

-I've got a lot of photographs.

-I can't show the photographs

-of the people...

-..as we have to be cautious.

-I wanted to visit

-the Moria refugee camp.

-Over 2,000 asylum seekers

-live at the Moria camp.

-I was able to chat to refugees

-of all cultures at the Moria camp.

-I met a lot of the families

-in that camp.

-Their stories were similar

-to that of Zena.

-Has it changed your life?

-Yes, I've written

-an article about it.

-It's online at the moment

-on the BBC website.

-I realized that our problems

-are quite pathetic...

-..when you compare them

-to that of those people.

-Everyone has problems.

-This has put it all

-into perspective.

-Do you keep in contact?

-I'm still chatting with Zena.

-I had a video from one of

-the children too this morning.

-Thank you, Nia.

-Wearing make-up for the first time

-can be baffling for teens at school.

-How much make-up is acceptable

-and what's best for your skin?

-Our beauty expert, Emma Jenkins

-is here to answer your dilemmas.

-Today, I've returned to school

-to show these girls...

-..how they can wear pretty make-up

-that's suitable for the classroom.

-Choose a foundation

-that matches your skin tone.

-Today,

-I'm using Infallible by L'Oreal...

-..as it stays put all day

-and controls oil.

-By using a brush to apply make-up...

-..you'll use less of the product

-and achieve a more natural look.

-Add a dab of concealer to areas

-that need more coverage...

-..including the under-eyes,

-on spots or patches of redness.

-This palette from Rimmel will

-add shape and colour to the face.

-..and the highlighter on the upper

-cheek-bones, brow bone and nose.

-Are the rules surrounding

-wearing make-up to school?

-Our school hasn't banned make-up.

-However, there's a fine line between

-acceptable everyday make-up...

-..and something that's

-better suited to the weekend.

-We don't want to encourage pupils

-to wear make-up to school...

-..but if they're going to do so,

-we want them to be sensible.

-There's a culture of wearing layers

-of make-up amongst youngsters.

-Do you think that it's suitable

-for the classroom?

-There are several reason

-why pupils choose to wear make-up.

-They feel under pressure

-from their friends.

-They also enjoy experimenting

-and it boosts their confidence.

-The school aims to promote

-self-confidence...

-..in and out of the classroom.

-At this age, pupils tend

-to develop spots or blemishes...

-..so wearing a little make-up

-can help them feel more confident.

-Bea has joined me

-and I've already perfected her skin.

-Fill in the brows using a

-fine pencil to mimic natural hairs.

-Use a good mascara

-to define and open up the eyes.

-Lip liner is a wonderful way

-to shape the lip.

-This one from NYX looks perfect

-with a little natural gloss.

-I do wear cosmetics to school but I

-don't wear a full face of make-up.

-I like the look

-because I love the eyebrows.

-It's also easy to recreate at home.

-I like the look

-because it's very natural.

-It's a great look for school

-and I really like it.

-I'll try to get up 15 minutes

-earlier to recreate this look.

-And there's more advice from Emma

-on Prynhawn Da tomorrow afternoon.

-Nia also produces a programme

-on Radio Cymru called Atebion.

-The programme deals with issues

-that matter to young people...

-..and image is among

-the most popular topics.

-Yes, a lot of people

-worry about their image.

-I was looking at that clip.

-The Internet has changed everything.

-They all focus on vlogs.

-A lot of young people know

-about make-up.

-Boys also wear make-up now.

-I wear make-up now

-because I'm on telly.

-I'd do your make-up on Bandit!

-It's time for a break but there's

-still plenty to enjoy tonight.

-I'm at the Gwili Pottery to make my

-own crockery which is very popular.

-Join me after the break to see

-if I've been successful or not!

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Would you shell out 2,000 a year

-to attend a pottery course?

-A few hours behind a potter's wheel

-helps relieve stresses of the day.

-But Mari found a cheaper way

-of making crockery in Wales.

-Wales isn't short of potteries.

-There's Nantgarw, Porth Llwyd

-and Ewenny to name but a few.

-Today, I've come to the

-Gwili Pottery in the Towy Valley.

-The Gwili Pottery began in the 1970s

-and Mam has been here for 20 years.

-What do you make here?

-We make mugs, plates,

-teapots, cookie jars...

-..and personalized items

-in Welsh and English.

-We'll do our best

-to meet your needs.

-Viewers of Heno and Prynhawn Da

-are familiar with a special plate.

-This is the Salt of the Earth plate

-to thank you for all you do.

-We've been lucky enough to make

-the Salt of the Earth plates...

-..and have made hundreds of them

-so they are all over the place.

-The mother and daughter realize that

-people want to make their own items.

-They want to paint their own

-crockery or work on the wheel...

-..so we've opened at Pontarsais for

-people to give it a go themselves.

-Lowri Johnston is one person

-who enjoys getting creative.

-I'd never made my own crockery...

-..but saw an episode of the BBC's

-The Great Pottery Throw Down.

-During the episode, I knew I wanted

-to try it so looked for lessons.

-If I've had a hard day, I can switch

-off for two hours and it's great.

-I make items for the home such as

-mugs, vases, plates and small bowls.

-I've started my own collection and

-make pieces for friends and family.

-The Gwili Pottery

-welcomes people of all ages.

-It can be so messy

-when you do things at home.

-It should keep them entertained

-for the afternoon...

-..but after ten minutes, the

-kitchen's a mess and they are bored.

-This place has a kiln and a wheel

-that you cannot recreate at home.

-Having this on your own doorstep

-in the countryside is very special.

-I've worked here for a few years

-but it doesn't feel like work.

-It's a lovely job

-as I can relax whilst painting.

-I'm currently working

-on our popular Howie pattern.

-I'd usually decorate

-the whole plate...

-..but this is a commission where

-they just want a patterned edge.

-Children, babies and

-even grandparents come and try it.

-We've done hen parties,

-birthdays and retirement presents.

-It helps to chill out

-and give me some time out.

-After hearing of its benefits, I got

-behind the potter's wheel myself.

-# My darling

-# I've hungered for your touch

-# A long... #

-RECORD SCRATCHES

-Oh, I don't think pottery making

-is for me!

-Mari fancied herself as

-a bit of a Demi Moore there.

-Here's an interesting fact for you.

-But did you know that it's 27 years

-since the film, Ghost was released?

-I feel old enough knowing

-it's 20 years since Twin Town.

-I'd love to try it.

-I think I did something in school.

-It's very popular.

-Huw Stephens, Nia Medi and Aled Sam

-have been my studio guests tonight.

-We are looking forward to the

-National Eisteddfod next week.

-Post Cyntaf

-is looking for young people...

-..who can make clips

-for the Eisteddfod.

-It's a great opportunity.

-Huw is having a busy summer

-of festivals and the Eisteddfod.

-I'm presenting the Pavilion Gig...

-..on the Thursday night

-of the Eisteddfod.

-It sold out in minutes.

-It'll be shown on S4C

-later in the year.

-I've got a few festivals and I'll

-start my countdown for Christmas!

-We aren't ready for

-Christmas Cracker Competition yet!

-Aled is launching his new and debut

-book at the National Eisteddfod.

-I'm launching the new book

-on Wednesday at the Eisteddfod.

-I love this book.

-It's only 7.

-That's the price of a portion

-of chips at the Eisteddfod!

-I'll be buying a copy.

-And that's all from Heno tonight.

-Daf is in Swansea tonight,

-but where are you tomorrow?

-I'm home in Cardigan for the beer

-barrel relay at the local carnival.
