0:14:16 > 0:14:21- Cardiffians view these buildings as - important in the city's history...
0:14:21 > 0:14:26- ..and important - in their own lives too.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- Chris Langley chose the subjects - after a special commission.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- In January, I had an interview at - the Pantmawr Arms in North Cardiff.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- It's owner, James Lovegrove...
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- ..asked me to paint a picture - of the Pantmawr Arms.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- He was really happy and - asked me to paint his other pubs...
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- ..namely the Black Cock Inn - and the Butchers Arms in Llandaff.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- I did those in a month and he - thought I'd done a really nice job.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- This inspired him - to create a series...
0:15:02 > 0:15:08- ..with a cross-section of - historic, architectural locations.
0:15:11 > 0:15:18- There are hundreds of pubs - so why did these catch your eye?
0:15:18 > 0:15:23- It's the architecture and the tiles.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29- The Vulcan and The Golden Cross - both feature exquisite tiles.
0:15:29 > 0:15:35- When I was painting them, I focused - on the amazing architecture.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42- The Golden Cross is a real gem - on edge of the city centre.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47- It's listed but not just because - of its windows and location...
0:15:47 > 0:15:52- ..but it boasts Victorian tiles - in green, yellow and brown.
0:15:53 > 0:15:59- In the 1930s, the fascist, Oswald - Mosley wanted to hold a rally there.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- The people of Cardiff refused - and he was sent away.
0:16:03 > 0:16:09- It's interesting as The Golden Cross - is now a gay bar.

0:16:17 > 0:16:22- It was sad to see the closure - of The Vulcan in the docks.

0:16:27 > 0:16:32- The Vulcan wasn't a random name as - Vulcan was the patron god of steel.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- It was near the ironworks - in the docks.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42- The Vulcan was taken down brick by - brick to rebuild it at St Fagans...
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- ..and open it to sell beer.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- The Big Windsor in Cardiff Bay now - sells curry as opposed to beer...
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- ..whilst The Packet, The Old Arcade - and others are still iconic sites.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06- Chris' treatment of these gems - is truly inspirational.

0:17:28 > 0:17:34- Cardiff, unlike London, Belfast and - Manchester has lost its pub history.
0:17:34 > 0:17:40- It's important to record the stories - of these pubs.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47- The Butchers Arms was an abattoir - but became a pub in Victorian times.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- I came here with my father - because this was his local.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- The legendary players of the 1970s - also came here.

0:18:07 > 0:18:13- Fans will be pleased to know that - this is just the start for Chris...
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- ..but does he have a favourite pub?

0:18:21 > 0:18:29- It's The Golden Cross as it spent - weeks of concentration to nail it.
0:18:29 > 0:18:35- It's very detailed with the tiles.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08- ..about his family history.
0:20:08 > 0:20:18- I decided to do the same.
0:20:18 > 0:20:25- I went to the farm...

0:20:31 > 0:20:37- I had a very warm welcome - at the farm.
0:20:37 > 0:20:47- I was a bit disappointed...
0:20:47 > 0:20:53- ..to learn - that more wasn't being held...
0:20:54 > 0:21:00- ..to celebrate - the 300th anniversary.
0:21:00 > 0:21:08- We needed something - to create an impact.
0:21:08 > 0:21:18- William Williams Pantycelyn - wrote 1,000 hymns.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24- Everyone in Wales has either - heard his work sung in a church...

0:22:48 > 0:22:54- ..to remember William Williams - Pantycelyn in Llandovery.
0:22:54 > 0:23:02- I think Heno - would love to follow this story.

0:24:20 > 0:24:27- I grew up with boys during - my primary years at school.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- There was only 14 pupils - in the school when I left.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- It wasn't an issue - but I knew something wasn't right.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40- I started secondary school and knew - that something was very different.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46- I wasn't sure - if I was gay or bisexual.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- I experimented with that - but it wasn't enough.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- Something else didn't click.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00- As a child, I remember going to bed - and hoping that I'd wake as a boy.
0:25:02 > 0:25:12- I think I was 13 or 14 when I said - to Mam, "I want to be a boy."
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- I'm really happy now.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21- When I was growing up as a child, - the stress was difficult to control.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27- I was in a wheelchair for six months - and wouldn't talk about anything.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- I kept it all inside...
0:25:31 > 0:25:36- ..and couldn't speak about it - as I didn't know how to say it all.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- I've come out the other side - and am my true self.
0:25:45 > 0:25:51- That person was there in the past - but I can be myself now.
0:25:52 > 0:25:59- My advice for anyone who is going - through this is to be yourself.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- I've learnt this - over and over again.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- You can be truly happy - by being yourself.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12- I'm happy now so just be yourself.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- We wish all the best to Macx.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54- ..of the comedian and television - and radio producer, Gethin Thomas...
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- ..at the age of 49.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01- Gethin was from Bridgend and was - a regular on the stages of Wales.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- He was part of - the pioneering team...
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- ..who developed Welsh stand-up - in the 1990s...
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- ..before producing, script-writing, - and nurturing new talent.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- The comedian, Gary Slaymaker - was one of his closest friends.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- He joins us tonight to pay tribute - to Gethin and share his memories.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Hello!
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Are you alright?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- It's great to be here tonight.
0:27:36 > 0:27:42- All I remember is the dirt, - mud and the disgusting stench.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Outside the tent, it was lovely.
0:27:48 > 0:27:54- It was such a shock to hear that - someone so young had passed away.
0:27:54 > 0:28:01- Geth got me started in stand-up.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- I met him with Daniel Glyn - at Dempseys in the city centre.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10- Geth used reverse psychology - and said I'd never manage stand-up.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- A fortnight later...
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- ..I was on tour with Gethin, - Daniel Glyn and Jams Thomas.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- That's where our friendship started - and it grew from there.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24- I don't know about opera - as we went to see Carmen.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28- I thought it was an opera - about blokes who worked in a garage.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32- Few people realize his influence.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- Geth was one of the first - to do stand-up in Welsh.
0:28:37 > 0:28:44- Daniel Glyn said that Welsh stand-up - would not exist if not for you.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- You started it all.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- It's kind of him to say that.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- I suppose.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58- You're going back 20 years, I'd just - left college and loved stand-up.
0:28:58 > 0:29:04- The stand-up - I liked didn't exist in Welsh.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09- You had the Noson Lawen and YFC - which is fine if you like those.
0:29:10 > 0:29:18- I realized that nobody else - would do it so I did it myself.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- It's a personal loss - as we'd been friends for years...
0:29:23 > 0:29:28- ..but a great loss to the - comedy world in Wales and beyond.
0:29:29 > 0:29:34- Doors were opening with Radio 4 - and other television channels.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39- Losing someone so talented at - such a young age is a terrible blow.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51- We send our condolences to the - family and friends of Gethin Thomas.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56- As you heard, Gethin was passionate - about nurturing fresh talent.
0:29:56 > 0:30:02- He'd be proud of the Welsh talent - at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
0:30:02 > 0:30:07- Next, we meet the Welsh who are - making their mark at the event.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12- In August, Edinburgh is bustling - with thousands of tourists...
0:30:12 > 0:30:19- ..enjoying the scenery, architecture - and five special festivals.
0:30:19 > 0:30:27- They visit the Art, International, - Book and Military Tattoo Festivals.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- However, the city's biggest festival - is the Edinburgh Fringe!
0:30:32 > 0:30:36- As you can imagine, there's - a strong representation from Wales.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40- I'm here to work on a comedy show...
0:30:41 > 0:30:45- ..but there's drama, music, - buskers and street performers.
0:30:46 > 0:30:52- A lot of odd things take place with - strange characters and gigs aplenty.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57- There's lots to see but can you - take us to your favourite place?
0:30:57 > 0:31:02- Yes, let's go that way.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07- The shows attract crowds - by distributing leaflets...
0:31:07 > 0:31:13- ..along the city's most - famous street, The Royal Mile.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- The Fringe is great as there - are performances everywhere.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22- In the city, you'll spot hundreds - of Fringe Venue signs with a number.
0:31:22 > 0:31:28- There's are even shows on a bus - but most are in bars and clubs...
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- ..and others in cellars, - basements and warehouses.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- You can see the city - by going from one gig to the next.
0:31:37 > 0:31:43- Everyone performs here and they - shout, sing, act, sing and mime.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- Where are we going next?
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- I'm performing in a show - so I've got to leave, sorry.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- Good luck.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- Um... where next?
0:31:55 > 0:31:56- Do you want a flyer?
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- Do you want a flyer?- - Thank you.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05- Whilst Sarah dashes off to perform, - I met with another Welsh comedian.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11- He's not performing in Barbados - but in Edinburgh's Bar Bados!
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- The show is called - Outdoor Heated Swimming Pool.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- It's about the future of Pontypridd - and also about death.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23- It's difficult to make those - two things funny but I hope I have.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29- As a comedian, you spend the year - before this event building a show.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33- You bring it here to be reviewed - so it's a bit like exams for clowns.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Why should people come to your show?
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- Nothing beats me at the Fringe - and everybody says that.
0:32:41 > 0:32:48- Look at these people - leaving with smiles on their faces.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- It was a very funny show.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- I headed a few minutes - from the city centre to Leith...
0:32:56 > 0:33:00- ..where an old Gothic church - is being used for physical theatre.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- The term can mean several things...
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- ..but it's the physical aspect - that's important in this show.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13- Seagulls is a brand-new adaptation - of Chekhov's The Seagull.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- It's a very physical version.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- It's full of dance, - music and singing.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27- Most of it is in English with pieces - in Welsh and a song in Russian.
0:33:27 > 0:33:33- The audience see you acting and - get to see a lot more of you too.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- How does that feel?
0:33:36 > 0:33:40- There's quite a bit of skin on show.
0:33:40 > 0:33:45- It isn't excessive as the suitcases - hide our important parts.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- Don't worry, Mam and Dad!
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- We have to be careful.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- It's cheeky but not too cheeky.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- It's fun and people forget - that Chekhov's work is hilarious.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05- Chekhov called The Seagulls - a comedy in four acts...
0:34:05 > 0:34:12- ..but there isn't a lot of comedy - in the English script...
0:34:12 > 0:34:21- ..so I hope this version - reinjects some of that comedy.
0:34:27 > 0:34:32- There's more from Daf at the - Edinburgh Fringe Festival tomorrow.
0:34:32 > 0:34:42- Elin Haf and Wynne Melville Jones - are my studio guests tonight.

0:41:50 > 0:41:58- Tell us the significance of your - pen name of Elwyn/Annie/Janet/Jiws.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- They are real people...
0:42:02 > 0:42:09- ..who live in a local home that - cares for people who have dementia.
0:42:09 > 0:42:14- A few months ago, - I did some poetry work with them.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- It was an honour - to work with them.
0:42:18 > 0:42:25- I don't know if they benefitted from - it but they wrote their own poems.
0:42:25 > 0:42:31- They inspired me to write poetry - again and compete for the Crown.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35- The free-verse poem is - a conversation between the poet...
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- ..and the characters in the poem.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44- Yes, it's a dialogue but not - with the names from my pen name...
0:42:44 > 0:42:49- ..but with the imaginary characters - of Lily and the poet.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- The poet visits this home, speaks to - Lily and helps her to write a poem.
0:42:55 > 0:43:01- It's challenging - and frustrating at the start.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- He feels that it's his role - to find and repair Lily's voice...
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- ..and find the Lily - that has been lost.
0:43:09 > 0:43:14- This is Lily's voice and Lily is the - same as she was five years ago...
0:43:14 > 0:43:24- ..but he has to find and reflect - Lily's voice and her poetry.
0:43:28 > 0:43:33- The closing lines - are very memorable.
0:43:34 > 0:43:44- It's significant that we don't know - if the lights are on or off.

0:43:50 > 0:43:54- Yes, it was made by - the Darlun production company.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57- I was behind the camera - for the first programme...
0:43:57 > 0:44:02- ..but there are three others and - one was shot in the Amman Valley.
0:44:02 > 0:44:08- The children meet the elderly - but not all of them have dementia.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12- You could say
0:44:12 > 0:44:17- Elen Elis, the Eisteddfod Organizer, - called me to tell me I'd won...
0:44:17 > 0:44:21- ..and I was with the crew - in the Amman Valley.
0:44:22 > 0:44:27- It was quite a strange - and emotional experience.
0:44:27 > 0:44:33- Our community is in pieces.
0:44:33 > 0:44:37- I hadn't been in a home - for the elderly for many years...
0:44:38 > 0:44:41- ..and I don't know - if that's a good thing or not.
0:44:41 > 0:44:45- The population is ageing - and more people will get dementia...
0:44:45 > 0:44:51- ..and it was interesting for me - to come across that.
0:44:51 > 0:44:58- You plan to thank those who inspired - you by taking the Crown on tour.
0:44:58 > 0:45:03- Yes, and past winners have told me - that I won't be home much now!
0:45:03 > 0:45:07- I'll take the Crown to Bryn Seiont - Newydd Dementia Centre next week...
