-Hello and welcome to Llanelli for

-Heno on International Women's Day.

-The day celebrates the role of women

-and has been held for 107 years.

-We've received this photograph from

-Sue Morris of her great-grandmother.

-Susannah Roberts is seen marching in

-Caernarfon with the Suffragettes...

-..who fiercely campaigned

-for a woman's right to vote.

-We're grateful to them and to Sue

-for sharing her historic photograph.

-I'm also delighted to wish a happy

-birthday to a very special lady.

-Beryl Griffiths from Deiniolen

-is 102 and Gerallt joined the party.

-We also mark this day with one

-of our top television writers.

-There's a performance in Cardiff...

-..featuring the BBC Orchestra

-of Wales and Cor y Cwm.

-It isn't 'only girls aloud' tonight

-as I'm joined by Tim Rhys-Evans...

-..the musician, conductor and

-musical director of Only Boys Aloud.

-Have you been accused of behaving

-like the Lord of the Manor?

-You can live up to the title

-at an auction in Parc y Scarlets...

-..and bid for the title

-of Lord of Llanegwad Manor.

-This parish is nestled between

-Carmarthen and Llandeilo.

-It stretches from Dryslwyn

-to Nantgaredig and Brechfa.

-Rhodri explains

-what you can get for your money.

-The estimated price is 5,000.

-For that price, you become the Lord

-of Lady of the Manor at Llanegwad...

-..which includes The Red Lion Inn,

-the Cothi House and the church.

-This is also an official title

-that can be used with your name.

-It's more about the title

-of Lord or Lady.

-You can add it to your passport

-or driver's licence.

-If friends call you

-the Lord of the Manor...

-..you can actually be just that!

-Yes, you could be Lord or Lady.

-Mystery surrounds the seller

-who is the current Lord...

-..but locals are not overly worried

-about a title that few know about.

-I didn't know anything about it

-until recently.

-At first, I thought it was a joke!

-I'd never heard about it until I got

-a call asking me about it yesterday.

-What are your thoughts about there

-being a Lord or Lady of Llanegwad?

-What does it mean for the locals?

-Does it mean that we have to

-call him "Sir," or bow and salute?

-Do we need to ask permission

-to cut our lawns or hedges?

-It has caused many issues.

-A person buys the title and believes

-it gives them Medieval rights...

-..so they send out bills

-to the residents.

-I hope I don't go home to find

-a bill from the new Lord or Lady.

-I assume he'll be Lord Egwad but

-will he enter the House of Lords?

-It's full of people who do nothing

-so we don't need any more!

-It's likely to involve

-some common land...

-..so you'll have the rights

-to use it for grazing animals...

-..but there isn't anything in this

-area so it's just about the title.

-It's bragging rights in the pub!

-You don't get a seat in the House

-of Lords or own Paxton's Tower...

-..or the National Botanic Garden

-or Dryslwyn Castle...

-..despite them being

-in the vicinity.

-What do you get with the title?

-There's Pontargothi, Nantgaredig

-and sections of the River Towy...

-..that has seen fishermen such as

-Moc Morgan, Gareth Edwards...

-..and President Jimmy Carter.

-Oh and one more thing - the people

-in this area are wonderful.

-It's a beautiful area that boasts

-some wonderful residents.

-We'll have to wait and see

-who becomes Lord of Llanegwad.

-We're near Dinefwr so know

-of Lord Dinefwr and Lord Cawdor...

-..so there might be something in it.

-I think anyone who lives in the area

-feels like a Lord or Lady.

-Yes, we're all special

-- the great and the small.

-You can't separate us.

-If I had my way, I'd get rid

-of every Lord that we had!

-I wouldn't want the title.

-Does the area have a man who thinks

-he's already Lord of the Manor?

-Well, um...

-one or two but I won't name names!

-If you fancy yourself

-as the next Lord Llanegwad...

-..the auction starts at 1.00pm in

-Llanelli's Parc y Scarlets tomorrow.

-Tim Rhys-Evans

-is my studio guest tonight.

-Would you like to be a Lord, Tim?

-No, I don't think so.

-You've already been given the honour

-of an MBE.

-Only Boys Aloud is going

-on a special tour.

-Yes, it's the first tour

-of Only Boys Aloud.

-We have 14 choirs...

-..in both North Wales

-and South Wales.

-We haven't had a tour before.

-We decided to go to Belgium

-and France...

-..to mark and commemorate...

-..100 years

-since the Battle of Ypres.

-A lot of the lads

-in Only Boys Aloud...

-..would have been the same age...

-..as some of those soldiers

-who fought in World War I.

-I was thinking about this

-when I was conducting with the lads.

-It's going to be very personal.

-Yes, a number of the boys in the

-choir...

-..have grandfathers who fought at

-Ypres.

-It's going to be emotional for me

-too.

-I had family who

-fought in World War I.

-It's important to show the boys this

-history.

-Only Boys Aloud is a charity.

-We are going to try to raise some

-money...

-..so that everyone in Only Boys

-Aloud...

-..can be a part of the trip.

-We can't afford to take them all.

-We'd love it if anyone could make a

-tiny donation.

-It would be a wonderful experience

-for the boys.

-We don't charge any of the lads in

-Only Boys Aloud.

-We want to help them all.

-Thank you.

-International Women's Day

-is being celebrated...

-..with the BBC Orchestra and

-Chorus of Wales and Cor y Cwm...

-..giving a premiere of Speak Out

-composed by Kate Whitley.

-The piece is set to the words of

-Malala Yousafzai's 2013 address...

-..to the United Nations

-about a girl's right to be educated.

-The concert is held tonight

-at Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff.

-The message of the day

-is that women need to stand up...

-..to reach our potential

-and fulfil our ambitions.

-Education is important.

-This leads to Malala Yousafzai's

-address to the United Nations.

-She was frustrated to learn

-that some girls are not educated.

-We want to echo Malala's loneliness

-at standing alone...

-..declaring the frustration that

-girls everywhere aren't educated.

-She was an individual voice

-but spoke on behalf of thousands.

-The composer has depicted the words

-to represent this.

-It's great to use Malala

-who is present and contemporary.

-It brings to life that this

-is an ongoing issue in the world.

-They got in touch with me and

-asked if I wanted to write this...

-..and I agreed

-as it was such an amazing idea.

-They're such an incredible choir.

-It's great to perform

-with the choir and the orchestra.

-It's a fantastic experience

-for such an amazing project.

-Zhang Xian

-is conducting the orchestra.

-This is significant as she

-is the first female conductor...

-..to have a title role

-with the orchestra.

-She will coordinate the event as

-part of her job as guest conductor.

-Everything is coming together

-and I'm sure it will be great.

-You can listen to this composition

-on BBC Radio 3 tonight at 9.30pm...

-..and the entire concert

-from 7.30pm tomorrow night.

-After the break...

-..Alun meets Cath Tregenna who is a

-successful television scriptwriter.

-We also wish Beryl Griffiths from

-Deiniolen a happy 102nd birthday.

-Welcome back to Heno

-on International Women's Day.

-On this day, we celebrate their

-contribution and achievements.

-Wales has many events to mark

-this contribution to our nation.

-Tonight, BAFTA Cymru honours two

-female pioneering scriptwriters.

-Alun Williams

-joins one of those ladies tonight.

-Good evening and welcome to the

-Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff.

-Fans of Doctor Who, Torchwood,

-Law and Order and Eastenders...

-..will be familiar with the talented

-playwright, Catherine Tregenna.

-I'm delighted to be joined

-by Catherine tonight.

-BAFTA Cymru has organized this night

-to mark International Women's Day.

-What does that mean for you

-and the industry?

-Tonight, I think we'll discuss

-how I got into the industry...

-..and what that means as an author,

-not necessarily as a woman.

-In my opinion, it's an exciting time

-in the television world.

-There's more female-led dramas...

-..such as Doctor Foster,

-The Replacement and Happy Valley.

-These characters reflect real women

-and the frustrations they face.

-I'm a huge fan of Doctor Who...

-..so what was it like to be part

-of such a world-famous brand?

-You have to deceive yourself to stop

-thinking about it in that way...

-..because you're not its only fan.

-There are many people out there

-who understand the subject.

-They came to me as they had a story

-that fitted with tonight's theme...

-..and it was about

-an immortal woman.

-The Doctor had moved on

-after they enjoyed an adventure.

-She had lived for 800 years and

-witnessed what women have become.

-They came to me as they knew

-that I could run with it...

-..because she represented

-a woman's journey in history...

-..whereas Doctor Who represented

-the masculine role...

-..who had more freedom

-to enjoy adventures.

-It was a real pleasure

-but terrifying too!

-In its 50 years on our screens...

-..you're one of only three female

-scriptwriters for Doctor Who.

-Yes, and in all fairness

-to Steven Moffat...

-..he had asked many female

-scriptwriters over the years.

-But you cannot deny the fact

-that it is just like a club...

-..and it was only men

-when they recreated the series.

-Russell T Davies approached me

-about Torchwood...

-..so they were happy to employ me.

-Helen Raynor worked on

-Russell's first series...

-..and Sarah Dollard

-worked on my series.

-I'd love to chat about Torchwood

-but time has beaten us.

-I just want to ask about tonight

-and your address to the audience.

-Can I ask what you'll talk about?

-We'll look at the role of women

-in drama but nothing too formal.

-to share our experiences...

-..and encourage writers out there

-to keep at it.

-We're still doing it

-but it isn't easy!

-It's been a pleasure so thank you

-and enjoy your evening.

-Happy birthday to Beryl Griffiths

-from Deiniolen who has turned 102.

-Many happy returns to you!

-Gerallt learns that her home of 70

-years also has an interesting story.

-Of the 6,000 homes that belong

-to Cartrefi Cymunedol Gwynedd...

-..over 100 are non-traditional

-and were built after World War II.

-Due to their age,

-they needed extensive repairs.

-After World War II, Sweden gave

-4,500 of these homes to the UK.

-The large demand for homes meant

-these were built in a few weeks.

-Each has had a new roof, extra

-insulation via external cladding...

-..as well as new windows and doors.

-It means the tenants can save money

-on their heating bills.

-Maes Gwylfa in Deiniolen has homes

-owned by Cartrefi Cymunedol Gwynedd.

-It's a special day

-for this tenant.

-First, Mrs Beryl Griffiths...

-..I'd like to wish you

-a very, very happy birthday!

-Thank you very much.

-What do you remember

-about moving here to live?

-It was in 1948.

-The new tenant.

-The first tenant.

-You and your husband

-were the first to live here.

-These homes and your home has been

-renovated recently, Mrs Griffiths.

-What's the house like

-after all the work?

-Oh, what can I say?

-It's beautiful and the house

-has been done up lovely.

-William, Beryl's late husband,

-was a soldier during World War II.

-Building homes for soldiers

-was a major priority after the war.

-Cartrefi Cymunedol Gwynedd

-wants to preserve these homes...

-..and the stories of people such as

-William and Beryl Griffiths.

-The last year has been very busy

-for Cartrefi Cymunedol Gwynedd.

-These non-traditional homes

-inspired us to launch an appeal...

-..for photographs and stories of our

-estates from the 1940s and 1950s.

-Mrs Beryl Griffiths

-is a perfect example.

-We wish her a very happy

-102nd birthday.

-It's challenging to have work done

-on your home when you're 102...

-..but it's been a pleasure

-to come here and chat with Beryl.

-She makes me feel happy in my work

-and I'm honoured to have met her.

-That's their appeal

-so go hunting for old photographs.

-Heno had a gift for Beryl Griffiths

-on her 102nd birthday.

-I don't want to tire you.

-The Heno team has something

-very small to give you.

-Raymond is coming now

-and you know Raymond very well.

-Thank you very much.

-Happy birthday, Mrs Griffiths.

-Thank you very much.

-Happy 102nd birthday to you,

-Beryl Griffiths from us all at Heno.

-They're beautiful... beautiful.

-Happy birthday

-to Mrs Beryl Griffiths.

-My studio guest tonight

-has been Tim Rhys-Evans.

-Tim is facing an interesting trip

-to Ypres.

-People can help you get there.

-Yes, we'd like people to visit the

-Only Boys Aloud website...

-..or contact us on Facebook

-or Twitter.

-It's been a busy time

-for Only Men Aloud.

-We worked in the slums in India.

-It's for a programme on S4C

-on Easter Saturday.

-Thank you, Tim.

-Heno counts down the hours

-to the Wales v Ireland match...

-..and celebrates the strong links

-between the neighbouring countries.

-We also mark World Kidney Day

-with two sisters from North Wales.
