-# Fancy A Fortune? #

-Tonight, we're at

-the Grand Theatre in Swansea...

-..as the city prepares to mark

-75 years since its blitz.

-The attacks that destroyed the city

-lasted three night.

-Rhodri Davies is in the theatre.

-Welcome to the Grand Theatre

-in Swansea.

-Over 200 of the city's residents

-died during the Blitz.

-The new play by Manon Eames records

-the events and it starts tonight.

-We venture to Llandeilo

-with our fashion expert, Huw Rees.

-He searches for a bargain at a shop

-where you can buy and sell clothes.

-Did you know that today is earmarked

-as Random Acts of Kindness Day?

-You can surprise or do an unexpected

-gesture for loved ones or strangers.

-It's exactly what I did

-at Carmarthen Market today.

-We start tonight's programme

-at the Swansea Grand Theatre.

-The city is preparing to mark

-75 years since the Swansea Blitz.

-The Germans bombed Swansea

-during a three-night attack...

-..and almost 250 lives were lost.

-Rhodri Davies has the story.

-Good evening, Elin.

-Three nights from

-19 to 21 February 1941.

-Three nights that changed

-this city forever.

-A new drama by Manon Eames

-tells us the history.

-We'll be chatting

-to Manon shortly.

-First, let's hear the memories

-of those who remember the time.

-We went to church and there was

-about 40 in the congregation.

-My cousin and I were reading

-and as soon as I opened the Bible...

-..we heard that horrific sound

-of the siren.

-AIR RAID SIREN

-The planes flew over

-and didn't need any lights...

-..because they dropped flares

-and it was a bright as the day.

-After they dropped the flares,

-they dropped the bombs.

-We stood on the shelter watching the

-bombs falling like rain on Swansea.

-The sky was red.

-We saw the bombing in Swansea

-from our home in Llangennech.

-The place was on fire.

-We didn't know

-where they were going to fall.

-We'd heard the screech

-..and we knew it wasn't our turn!

-The roof of the market

-was destroyed.

-There wasn't any shops

-left on High Street.

-All that was left

-was skeletons of buildings.

-It frightened us,

-it really did frighten us.

-We were all frightened,

-of course we were.

-Swansea was in flames and

-the bombs rained down on the city.

-It was a horrible time to live.

-Those were some incredible memories.

-Manon Eames wrote the play,

-Swansea's Three Night Blitz.

-Remind us of the historical context.

-It's unique as few cities had three

-consecutive nights of bombings...

-..and it covered quite a small area.

-On the Tuesday,

-everything was normal...

-..but everything had been destroyed

-by the Saturday.

-It must have felt like the end

-of the world for these people.

-I did a lot of research and

-the Swansea archives is incredible.

-I've lived in Swansea for many years

-and walked around the areas...

-..such as Mount Pleasant and

-Teilo Crescent that had direct hits.

-Gwydion Rhys is one of the actors

-who has to do the story justice.

-Yes, and I know Swansea but

-didn't know about this blitz.

-The cast, crew and team has

-put the play together very quickly.

-It's difficult to imagine Swansea

-during that time.

-Manon has collected some incredible

-stories for this play.

-It's important to remind people

-about this story.

-Yes, and people know of Swansea

-but focus on its weaknesses...

-..but those three nights

-are part of the city's heritage.

-There's an incredible strength

-and hope found in the story.

-Thank you and

-good luck with your performances.

-It starts tonight

-and finishes on Saturday.

-It's an appropriate way

-to remember the Swansea Blitz.

-Thank you, Rhodri.

-The television and radio presenter,

-Geraint Hardy joins me on the sofa.

-Welcome to Heno.

-Thank you.

-You last appeared on Heno

-ahead of the birth of your son.

-Yes, and my son has changed my life.

-It was only a month

-ahead of his birth.

-Jac is wonderful.

-He's totally changed my life.

-I don't sleep and can't go to the

-gym but I'm happy.

-This week is earmarked as Children

-of Alcoholics Week or COA Week.

-You were very vocal

-about your childhood...

-..and told your story

-on S4C's O'r Galon.

-It was a very brave programme.

-Let's hear more about your story

-in O'r Galon: Yr Hardys.

-I feel worse about the situation

-when I look back at it.

-I've grown up

-and realized what had happened.

-At the time, that was my life

-and I didn't know any different.

-I remember crying in bed a lot.

-I'd hear Mam shouting at Dad...

-..and knowing that Dad

-was only trying to help Mam.

-I used to think of leaving my room

-and saying something.

-Occasionally, my brother

-would go out and shout "stop!"

-Yes, I was lonely, but that's how

-I thought people lived their lives.

-It was a very emotional programme.

-It was brave to tell your story.

-Your mother stopped drinking

-about 15 years.

-Yes, that's right.

-We wanted to tell Mam's story.

-It shows that everyone

-can live a normal life...

-..and there is a life to lead

-after alcoholism.

-Thankfully, Mam has recovered.

-We wanted to help others

-by telling our story.

-COA Week shows that there are others

-going through the same thing.

-This is why we wanted to

-tell the story.

-It was a secret at the time.

-You didn't tell your friends.

-Yes, that's right.

-Mam thought she had depression...

-..but that wasn't the case.

-I hope that if there's anyone

-watching tonight...

-..who is in a similar situation...

-..then it's important for you

-to speak about it.

-Sharing the problem can help.

-Many children feel that they

-are to blame for the alcoholism.

-Yes, and this week will help people.

-I went to a clinic in Aberystwyth.

-I told the counsellor that I was to

-blame for my mother's condition.

-You go through a roller coaster

-of emotions.

-There is a way out of the situation.

-Thank you.

-You only have a few minutes left

-to win 1,000 in Fancy A Fortune?

-We'll call a viewer shortly

-but here's the question again.

-How many days

-are in February this year?

-1) 19, 2) 29, or 3) 39?

-The number to call

-is 08443 35 12 44.

-Good luck to you all.

-Did you know that today

-is Random Acts of Kindness Day?

-You can surprise friends and family

-by doing something unexpected.

-I went that extra mile to put

-a smile on a stranger's face...

-..at Carmarthen Market

-on this wet and miserable day.

-On behalf of Heno, I would like

-to give you a bunch of flowers.

-What is behind this?

-And you can have some flowers

-for Random Act of Kindness Day.

-Where are you from?

-I'm from Anglesey.

-What are you doing down here?

-You can enjoy them

-with a cup of tea.

-Are you happy?

-Are you happy?

-

-Yes, very happy.

-Yes, very happy.

-You can have a box of chocolates.

-No, thank you. I'm diabetic.

-What's your name?

-What's your name?

-

-Harri.

-What's your name?

-I've got a gift for you, Harri,

-so give me a high-five!

-I've got a gift for you, Harri,

-so give me a high-five!

-Today is Random Act of Kindness Day.

-for the warm welcome.

-In the next part of the programme,

-and answer an easy question.

-Our fashion expert, Huw Rees also

-hunts for a bargain in Llandeilo.

-Join us in a couple of minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-A new venture started in Llandeilo

-at the beginning of 2016.

-The new year spelt a new challenge

-for Gaynor Jones.

-Recreating, re-establishing and

-recycling are fashionable terms.

-It makes sense in the new year...

-..to restart your career

-in a well-established business...

-..called Ail Argraffiad.

-There's been a dress agency

-in Llandeilo since the late 1980s.

-The current owner chose to retire

-and was trying to sell the business.

-I knew it was for sale

-and was quite interested...

-..as I'd bought a lot of clothes

-from the shop.

-You're looking authoritative

-and powerful behind that counter.

-Is this the first time

-you've sold items?

-It's the first time in a shop but

-have sold burgers from a van...

-..a few Christmas trees

-and t-shirts in the past!

-Was it important to be in a

-community-based town like Llandeilo?

-Yes, I'm from the area and have

-always supported the local shops.

-I prefer small boutiques instead

-of centres in Swansea or Cardiff.

-It's more pleasurable

-It's a difficult time because

-we're competing with the Internet...

-..but small shops

-offer a tailor-made service...

-..and know their customers.

-Women bring their clothes here

-but how does it all work?

-This is a dress agency, so people

-bring quality clothes to you.

-You sell them and share the profit

-and I get a handling charge.

-Some clothes have been worn before

-but this isn't always the case.

-We all make mistakes when shopping

-and end up with pointless items.

-It could be too far to travel

-or too late to take it back.

-You can consider using this service

-to get some of your money back.

-People want a bargain and this shop

-has something for everyone.

-A dress agency has well-known labels

-and it isn't a charity shop.

-No, and it's the quality

-that attracts the customers.

-There's an Armani dress for 40

-which is hundreds when brand-new.

-The buyers look after their clothes

-and they are just like new.

-It's important to follow fashion but

-also remember the timeless classics.

-Have a rummage

-through your wardrobe...

-..bring us your clothes and

-we'll see what we can do for you.

-Good luck to them.

-I've got the numbers and Geraint

-is ready to spin the wheel.

-It's time to play, Fancy A Fortune?

-# Fancy A Fortune? #

-Geraint Hardy joins me to spin

-the wheel in Fancy A Fortune?

-Hundreds of you have been calling

-for Fancy A Fortune?

-I can tell you that I'm dialling

-a number for a mobile phone.

-It's difficult to chat and dial.

-It's ringing.

-Hello?

-Hello, it's Elin Fflur

-from S4C's Heno.

-Who am I talking to?

-It's Elin.

-Where are you calling from?

-I'm in Gwyddgrug near Pencader.

-I hope you're feeling lucky tonight.

-Geraint will give the wheel a spin

-and we'll see how much you've win.

-That was a great spin.

-Where is our wheel going to stop?

-Congratulations, you've won 500.

-Thank you very much.

-That's wonderful.

-A huge congratulations to you.

-Thank you for watching Heno

-Most children in Wales are enjoying

-a week off school for half term...

-..but the Bridgend Youth Theatre

-is performing West Side Story.

-It opens at the Grand Pavilion

-in Porthcawl tomorrow night.

-Our cameras joined them

-for their rehearsals this afternoon.

-The company gives us the experience

-of working in a professional show.

-We've been rehearsing

-West Side Story since November.

-Yes, every Tuesday since November

-and every Sunday since January.

-the crew and made all the costumes.

-I'm so excited and everyone gets

-to perform on this famous stage.

-I enjoy this show because we're like

-a big family and are close friends.

-It's great to do something you enjoy

-with people you like.

-Good luck to them

-with their performance.

-Grand Pavilion in Porthcawl website.

-Geraint Hardy has been

-my studio guest this evening.

-Thank you for spinning the wheel

-in our game, Fancy A Fortune?

-You're very busy.

-There's Clwb on S4C and Capital FM.

-Yes, I've got the morning show...

-..before going home to look

-after Jac.

-I've also got to go

-to North Wales...

-..to present Clwb.

-Dylan Ebenezer is on the sofa

-tomorrow night.

-Thank you, Geraint.

-Heno returns tomorrow at 7.00pm.

-I'll be back in Caernarfon to chat

-with the comedian, Tudur Owen.

-He had a serious accident whilst

-skiing but is home in Y Felinheli.

-Until tomorrow, goodnight to you

-all from everyone in Llanelli.
