-Yes, I played the role

-of the Ancient Atlantean King.

-We filmed it last year.

-We filmed from April to October.

-I got to work with Zac Snyder.

-We filmed in Watford.

-It was where

-they filmed Harry Potter.

-I got to work with Henry Cavill

-and Jason Momoa.

-It was wonderful.

-A lot of the green screen was used.

-It was new to me.

-Actors talk about it.

-I've done a lot of theatre work

-in the past...

-..so I really enjoyed it.

-You have to rely

-on your imagination.

-I found it was challenging

-in the beginning...

-..but I really enjoyed it.

-I grew up watching Batman

-and Superman.

-I was a fan of the Batman films.

-They included Christian Bale.

-I was a big fan of Zack Snyder.

-He made 300 and Batman v Superman.

-Batman v Superman

-was the foundation to this film.

-This is the biggest film

-ever made in Britain.

-I've been working

-with a friend on a comedy today.

-They have a great crew and cast.

-Matthew Rhys is also in it.

-There will be a lot

-of great Welsh actors in it.

-We've been filming today.

-We hope it will get a series.

-It has been awful weather

-to be in a caravan.

-I can't wait for Christmas.

-I love being at home.

-Christmas is special

-with the family.

-I think 2018 will be a new start.

-I can't talk too much about it.

-I have to do some exercise to enjoy

-Christmas...

-..before the hard work begins.

-After the break, Ysgol Sant Curig

-perform in our carol competition.

-We also hear about a new book called

-Blodau Cymru by Dr Goronwy Wynne.

-There's also a festive tune

-from Cardiff...

-..by Cordydd, the trio Athena,

-Rhys Meirion and Aled Wyn Davies.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Cwlwm Cariad or Paris quadrifolia,

-Gold y Gors or Marsh Marigold...

-..and Lili'r Wyddfa or Snowdon Lily

-are wonderful names.

-These flowers feature in the book,

-Blodau Cymru by Dr Goronwy Wynne.

-Gerallt jumped at the chance to meet

-the author in Lixwm in Flintshire.

-Notes and literary references

-interweaved with scientific facts...

-..and suggestions of locations

-to visit to study flowers in Wales.

-Dr Goronwy Wynne shouldered a heavy

-burden to complete Blodau Cymru.

-I'm not exaggerating when I say

-that it's been a lifetime of labour!

-There's a section in the book

-about preparing a herbarium.

-This herbarium is very interesting

-and has taken a lifetime to prepare.

-Yes, and a herbarium

-is a collection of dried flowers.

-We can choose one

-and this is the primrose.

-There's a few different varieties

-of primrose.

-We have the cowslip

-and the common primrose.

-People can collect plants

-but some of them are protected.

-You can pick wild flowers but cannot

-uproot them without permission.

-Those who take a trowel into the

-hedgerows to collect primroses...

-..for their gardens are breaking the

-law but you can pick the flowers.

-Let's have a few sentences

-from the preface to Blodau Cymru.

-"Our world is green

-with flowers all around us.

-"Without the plants,

-no animal or human would exist...

-"..so we don't need an excuse

-to have a book about plants."

-I'm sure this book has been welcomed

-with open arms too.

-Blodau Cymru by Goronwy Wynne is a

-triumph and is very authoritative...

-..and only a true expert

-can achieve this.

-It's exceptionally important

-to the Welsh language...

-..because we finally have

-this amazing, scientific book.

-Everyone in the fields

-of botany, literature and history...

-..should invest in

-a copy of this book.

-I've known Dr Goronwy Wynne for many

-years and this doesn't disappoint.

-Its contents is encyclopaedic as

-this is a library not just a book.

-It's full of nature, science,

-sociology, history and poetry.

-It's a book of the century.

-This book is dedicated to you, Dilys

-and thanks you for your support.

-You must be delighted that the book

-has finally been finished.

-Yes, it's a huge relief

-to finally see the end of the book.

-The launch was a great evening...

-..and was a lovely end to a project

-that has taken many years of work.

-The book claims that you spent many

-years on your knees in the flowers.

-I'm sure you can sit back and relax

-with this book now.

-People misunderstand that and

-wonder if I'm praying to the plants.

-I've roamed around for years and

-have literally been on my knees...

-..but it's been a lot of fun.

-I can summarize the book

-by saying...

-..it's the story of one man

-and his friends, the wild flowers.

-I'm sure many people

-would like that book for Christmas!

-Every night, we've had

-excerpts from the carols...

-..in the Prynhawn Da

-Christmas Carol Competition.

-Today, Ysgol Sant Curig performed

-their carol and here's a clip.

-# My story, the husband,

-the father and the carpenter

-# Come and hear my side of the story

-# The story of a miracle

-that came on a clear night

-# The story of a miracle

-that came on a clear night

-# The story of a miracle

-that came on a clear night #

-Well done to Ysgol Sant Curig.

-We'll hear the final carol on the

-shortlist on tomorrow's Prynhawn Da.

-It's by Ysgol y Felinheli.

-Julian Lewis Jones has been

-my studio guest this evening.

-You've just come from one set.

-Yes, and I've been on Celwydd Noeth.

-It was quite challenging.

-I think it will be aired

-on 28 December.

-I don't get a lot of time

-to go fishing now.

-We were finishing near the location

-I will be filming tomorrow.

-We went on Saturday.

-This is a good time to go fishing.

-It was very cold on Saturday.

-I hope to go to Parc y Scarlets

-for the Ospreys game over Christmas.

-It was good to see the Ospreys win

-last weekend.

-Tomorrow's Prynhawn Da at 2.00pm has

-the final carol in our competition.

-at a Christmas concert in Canton.

-Aled Wyn Davies and Rhys Meirion...

-of Iesu Yw or Christ, the King.

-# Soundly sleeps Judea

-# Deep in tender dreams

-# Only gentle breezes

-and softly flowing streams

-# Break the perfect silence

-# On this holy night

-# Murmuring glad tidings

-# As their song takes flight

-# As their song takes flight

-# Praise be given

-# He is come!

-# Sound the trumpet

-# Strike the drum

-# Soul, take wing

-# Loudly sing

-# Born this night is Christ the King

-# Brightly dawns the sunrise

-# On this day of days

-# Sending out the good news

-# In a dazzling blaze

-# And all who hear the anthem

-# Add their joyful voice

-# Let the song redouble!

-# All the world rejoice!

-# All the world rejoice!

-# Praise be given

-# He is come!

-# Sound the trumpet

-# Strike the drum

-# Soul, take wing

-# Loudly sing

-# Born this night is Christ the King

-# Christ the King #

-Merry Christmas to you all!
