-Every picture tells a story.

0:00:020:00:04

-What's the story

-behind this picture?

0:00:040:00:07

-Will it be possible to organize

-a reunion to retake the photograph?

0:00:070:00:11

-Tonight,

-the 1980 Penweddig pop group.

0:00:150:00:18

-In a house in Pontcanna, Cardiff...

0:00:430:00:46

-..Ffion Harries

-has found an old photograph.

0:00:460:00:50

-Thirty years ago, Ffion

-and this gang formed a pop group...

0:00:500:00:54

-..to compete in a school eisteddfod,

-and they won!

0:00:540:00:57

-I don't know why

-I've got a ribbon in my hair!

0:00:580:01:01

-It might have

-something to do with Bananarama!

0:01:010:01:04

-I'm not sure

-what look I was trying to create!

0:01:040:01:07

-I became darker in the lower sixth.

0:01:080:01:11

-I wanted to emulate

-Siouxsie and the Banshees!

0:01:110:01:14

-I wore heavy eyeliner.

0:01:150:01:17

-My hair was short at the side,

-and big in the front.

0:01:190:01:22

-She wants to reunite the gang

-to step back in time.

0:01:230:01:27

-I suppose the next step

-is to go home to find the girls.

0:01:270:01:31

-If I can arrange a reunion...

0:01:330:01:35

-..we'll have to decide

-on the best meeting place.

0:01:350:01:39

-The search begins.

-There's one obvious place to start.

0:01:420:01:47

-Two of the girls

-still live in Aberystwyth.

0:01:480:01:51

-Home is very close to Ffion's heart.

0:01:510:01:53

-How are you?

0:01:540:01:56

-I still refer

-to Aberystwyth as home.

0:01:560:01:59

-My brother and his family are here.

-But my father has moved to Cardiff.

0:02:000:02:04

-Sadly, my mother passed away

-almost twenty years ago.

0:02:050:02:08

-She's buried in Llanbadarn cemetery.

0:02:080:02:11

-I feel all sorts of emotions

-when I come back.

0:02:140:02:17

-Gwennan? Yes, I'm in Aber!

0:02:200:02:22

-I'll start with Gwennan

-because she knows everyone.

0:02:240:02:28

-She might be able to locate

-some of them.

0:02:290:02:31

-Hello.

0:02:310:02:32

-Hello, Gwennan!

0:02:330:02:34

-You work in a smart place!

-Nice to see you!

0:02:350:02:38

-It's lovely here!

0:02:400:02:42

-Welcome!

0:02:420:02:43

-Welcome!

-

-Thank you.

0:02:430:02:44

-Gwennan works at the university.

0:02:440:02:46

-I've spent

-most of my life in Aberystwyth.

0:02:480:02:51

-I love Aberystwyth - there's

-nowhere like it in the world!

0:02:520:02:56

-It's the next best thing to heaven!

0:02:570:02:59

-It'll be nice to get together...

0:03:000:03:02

-..especially to meet

-the ones I don't see often.

0:03:030:03:06

-I'm sure we'll have a laugh

-and share memories.

0:03:080:03:11

-Nerys Ann wasn't

-in the same year as us.

0:03:120:03:14

-No.

0:03:140:03:15

-I haven't seen him since the photo!

0:03:150:03:19

-What's his name?

0:03:190:03:21

-What's his name?

-

-Bernard.

0:03:210:03:22

-One man stood alone

-among the girls that day.

0:03:230:03:26

-The Breton made quite an impression.

0:03:260:03:30

-We thought he was very exotic.

-He stood out in Aberystwyth.

0:03:300:03:34

-He smoked cigarettes in school...

0:03:350:03:39

-..in a nonchalant way.

0:03:390:03:41

-He walked around humming songs...

0:03:420:03:45

-..by romantic French balladeers.

0:03:450:03:49

-We'd have crepes

-if he'd been to Brittany.

0:03:510:03:54

-Is that how you remember him?

0:03:550:03:57

-I don't really remember him at all!

0:03:590:04:01

-I didn't even take French!

0:04:010:04:03

-I obviously pushed in -

-you didn't want me there!

0:04:050:04:09

-Gwennan will take her place

-with the pop group once again.

0:04:100:04:13

-Gwennan is still in touch

-with this member of the group.

0:04:130:04:17

-She left Aber ages ago.

0:04:170:04:19

-I live in Penygroes,

-near Caernarfon.

0:04:190:04:22

-I run Curiad

-music publishing company.

0:04:220:04:25

-I design the book sleeves...

0:04:270:04:29

-..and run the company

-from day to day.

0:04:300:04:33

-Many of my dreams have come true.

0:04:350:04:38

-I like to ride my mare in

-my spare time, weather permitting.

0:04:400:04:44

-I also draw dogs and horses.

0:04:460:04:48

-I sell some of the best prints.

0:04:490:04:52

-Does Ruth remember

-the photograph being taken?

0:04:540:04:57

-I wrote about having

-the photo taken in my diary.

0:04:570:05:01

-But I don't remember it at all.

0:05:010:05:03

-I'll read it out.

0:05:040:05:06

-"Eisteddfod! Came last in the Girls'

-Singing Party. Won the Pop Group.

0:05:070:05:12

-"Ray Daniels from the Cambrian News

-wanted to take our picture.

0:05:120:05:16

-"Bernard played the electric guitar.

0:05:160:05:18

-"It was much better

-than the non-electric one."

0:05:180:05:21

-What does she remember

-about the young Breton Assistant?

0:05:220:05:26

-I remember him

-as a student around the place.

0:05:270:05:30

-He wasn't quite one of the teachers.

-He was more like one of us.

0:05:310:05:34

-I think

-some of the girls fancied him!

0:05:360:05:40

-His French accent

-sounded so romantic.

0:05:410:05:45

-Ruth will return to Aberystwyth.

0:05:460:05:49

-This girl still lives in town.

0:05:490:05:52

-Ffion arranged

-to meet her in a cafe.

0:05:520:05:55

-Here's Anne.

0:05:570:05:58

-How are you?

0:05:590:06:00

-How are you?

-

-Nice to see you!

0:06:000:06:02

-The conversation turns to the past.

0:06:030:06:05

-They were good times, weren't they?

0:06:050:06:08

-We were happy.

0:06:100:06:11

-We were happy.

-

-We were beginning to grow up.

0:06:110:06:13

-We discovered music,

-and going out to have fun.

0:06:140:06:17

-When I think about you,

-I remember the Chemistry lessons.

0:06:180:06:21

-You scribbled the names of your

-favourite bands on your books!

0:06:210:06:26

-I thought you were so knowledgeable!

0:06:270:06:29

-I saw Elvis Costello in the

-King's Hall when he started out...

0:06:310:06:35

-..with A Bunch of Stiffs.

0:06:360:06:38

-Nick Lowe and Wreckless Eric

-and people like that.

0:06:390:06:43

-Led Zeppelin performed there, too.

0:06:430:06:46

-# I could talk all night #

0:06:470:06:49

-Led Zeppelin weren't the only

-performers in the King's Hall.

0:06:490:06:53

-The school eisteddfod

-pulled in the crowds, too.

0:06:530:06:56

-The St David's Day eisteddfod was

-a huge event for the Welsh school.

0:06:560:07:01

-The gallery would

-be full of mothers, knitting.

0:07:020:07:06

-They were there with their flasks

-for the whole day.

0:07:060:07:09

-All that remains of

-the old King's Hall is the square.

0:07:110:07:14

-Anne remembers the location well.

0:07:150:07:17

-Does she remember

-the girls in the photograph?

0:07:170:07:20

-Are you in touch with them?

0:07:200:07:22

-I often see Gwennan.

0:07:240:07:26

-I haven't seen Nerys in years -

-but she was a year older.

0:07:270:07:31

-Yes.

0:07:310:07:32

-Yes.

-

-Do you know where she lives?

0:07:320:07:34

-I know she's not in Aberystwyth.

0:07:350:07:37

-Nerys has lived in Dunblane

-in Scotland for 25 years.

0:07:390:07:43

-She met Davie when she worked

-at Edinburgh University.

0:07:440:07:47

-They've raised a family here.

0:07:470:07:49

-Soon after we met, Davie

-realized he had to learn Welsh...

0:07:500:07:53

-..if he wanted to marry me.

0:07:540:07:56

-That's what he did.

0:07:570:07:59

-We speak Welsh at home. Ewan

-and Sean speak Welsh to each other.

0:07:590:08:03

-It's lovely for me.

-I have an island of Welshness here.

0:08:060:08:09

-Good afternoon. Thirteen

-schoolchildren and two adults...

0:08:140:08:17

-..have been shot dead, and eight

-or nine others have been injured...

0:08:170:08:20

-..at a Scottish primary school.

0:08:200:08:22

-These are the scenes from the town

-taken in the past few minutes.

0:08:230:08:26

-The gunman walked into Dunblane

-Primary School at around 10.00am.

0:08:270:08:31

-It's understood he then opened fire.

0:08:310:08:33

-The heart of the community was

-ripped out by the Dunblane tragedy.

0:08:360:08:39

-As a member of the community...

0:08:400:08:42

-..Nerys' life changed direction.

0:08:420:08:44

-After the Dunblane shooting...

0:08:450:08:47

-..I spent many nights awake...

0:08:480:08:50

-..looking down at the lit

-Cathedral from my bedroom window.

0:08:510:08:55

-Knowing that people

-had prayed and worshipped there...

0:08:570:09:01

-..for many centuries...

0:09:010:09:03

-..helped me...

0:09:050:09:07

-..to put what happened

-in an eternal context.

0:09:070:09:11

-It gave me faith to know...

0:09:110:09:14

-..that good will conquer evil.

0:09:150:09:17

-As a lay preacher, she works

-closely with the Dunblane families.

0:09:210:09:25

-Dunblane Cathedral

-has played an important part...

0:09:290:09:33

-..in the grieving and healing

-process...

0:09:340:09:37

-..that happened after the shooting.

0:09:370:09:40

-# Fly like Superman,

-climb like Spiderman #

0:09:400:09:43

-I feel I've been called to be here.

0:09:450:09:47

-There is work for me here.

0:09:470:09:50

-# Fly like Superman,

-climb like Spiderman #

0:09:500:09:53

-Dunblane is our home now.

0:09:540:09:56

-But who, or what, does she remember

-about the gang in the photograph?

0:10:000:10:04

-Bernard was unique.

-He was a character!

0:10:050:10:08

-He smoked Gauloises - he reeked

-of cigarettes and red wine.

0:10:080:10:12

-He played the guitar. There

-was something exotic about him.

0:10:130:10:16

-I was his friend,

-and I thought the world of him.

0:10:180:10:22

-People thought it might develop

-into something more than friendship.

0:10:220:10:26

-It didn't.

0:10:270:10:28

-I hope he'll be able

-to come to the reunion.

0:10:290:10:33

-Nerys will be there.

0:10:350:10:37

-But they need to hone their

-detective skills to find Bernard.

0:10:370:10:41

-Gwennan helps with the search.

0:10:420:10:44

-Where better to start than with

-their French teacher, Sian Owen?

0:10:440:10:48

-Do you remember him?

0:10:490:10:50

-Of course!

0:10:510:10:52

-Look at you girls all over him!

0:10:530:10:57

-The girls adored him.

-He was quite good-looking!

0:10:580:11:02

-He was about the same age as them.

-Then, there was his French accent.

0:11:030:11:06

-They loved him -

-and so did the young teachers!

0:11:070:11:11

-Do you remember his surname?

0:11:110:11:13

-Quillien - I'm almost certain.

0:11:140:11:16

-How is it spelt?

0:11:170:11:19

-Q, U, I, L, L, I, E, N.

0:11:190:11:24

-Quillien.

0:11:240:11:25

-Quillien.

-

-Quillien.

0:11:250:11:26

-It was great to see Sian.

-She knew Bernard's surname.

0:11:260:11:30

-I'll pass it on to Ffion.

0:11:310:11:33

-She can look for him on the Web!

0:11:330:11:36

-Back in Cardiff,

-Ffion's son helps with the search.

0:11:370:11:40

-Let's see. Bernard Quillien.

0:11:410:11:43

-She finds quite a famous

-Bernard Quillien on the Web.

0:11:450:11:49

-Is he our dear Bernard?

0:11:490:11:53

-If it is - he's changed a lot!

0:11:550:11:57

-The search continues in Cardiff.

0:12:000:12:02

-Who is this athletic lady?

0:12:030:12:05

-Will they find Bernard in Brittany?

0:12:060:12:09

-.

0:12:100:12:10

-888

0:12:140:12:16

-Ffion Harries

-is trying to organize a reunion.

0:12:210:12:24

-She's found some members of a band

-who sang with her thirty years ago.

0:12:250:12:30

-But there are a few missing -

-including a very important man.

0:12:300:12:34

-Bernard was unique.

-He was a character!

0:12:350:12:38

-We thought he was very exotic.

-He stood out in Aberystwyth.

0:12:380:12:43

-He was different.

0:12:440:12:45

-Good-looking, wasn't he?

0:12:450:12:47

-Good-looking, wasn't he?

-

-Wasn't he just!

0:12:470:12:48

-Wasn't he just!

0:12:480:12:48

-In a small Breton village

-400 miles from Aber...

0:12:530:12:57

-..a member of the Penweddig

-pop group is still performing.

0:12:570:13:00

-This is Bernard.

0:13:020:13:04

-In the north Brittany

-village of Plougastel...

0:13:080:13:10

-..Bernard lives with his wife

-Marie-Annick and son, Herve.

0:13:100:13:15

-I lived in Aberystwyth for a year.

0:13:160:13:18

-I worked in Tregaron

-and Penweddig in Aberystwyth.

0:13:190:13:24

-I was young then.

0:13:250:13:27

-Life was great. It was brilliant!

0:13:280:13:30

-If I had to move from Brittany...

0:13:330:13:36

-..I'd return to Wales.

0:13:370:13:39

-He's become a well-known face

-since leaving Wales.

0:13:400:13:44

-Bernard is a Breton language

-television presenter.

0:13:440:13:48

-Perhaps working

-in the Breton language...

0:13:490:13:52

-..is my way to promote the language.

0:13:520:13:54

-People believe the language

-is dying, but I hope not.

0:13:550:13:59

-We definitely

-have to solve the problem.

0:13:590:14:03

-The piper has travelled the world -

-from Germany to the US...

0:14:030:14:07

-..with the successful band,

-Bleizi Ruz.

0:14:070:14:10

-At the time, I played

-with a pipe-band in Brest.

0:14:100:14:14

-I've worked as a professional

-musician with Bleizi Ruz...

0:14:170:14:23

-..for 15 years.

0:14:230:14:26

-Perhaps the Penweddig pop group

-kick-started his musical career!

0:14:320:14:36

-I remember in Wales...

0:14:370:14:40

-..that music was everywhere.

0:14:410:14:45

-There was always a piano,

-and people singing.

0:14:460:14:50

-I'm not surprised

-that I sang with the girls.

0:14:530:14:57

-He remembers one girl in particular.

0:14:590:15:01

-Well, yes - I remember

-Nerys Ann Jones quite well.

0:15:030:15:06

-She spoke French fluently.

0:15:080:15:10

-We often met,

-because she liked speaking French.

0:15:130:15:16

-A journey to Wales awaits Bernard,

-and a chance to relive the past.

0:15:170:15:20

-I'm looking forward.

0:15:210:15:23

-But, well... what will it be like

-to meet people thirty years later?

0:15:260:15:31

-I'm scared!

0:15:320:15:34

-And so Bernard is on his way back -

-unless he gets too scared!

0:15:350:15:38

-But what about this girl?

0:15:390:15:42

-Ffion searches for Sian in Creigiau

-on the outskirts of Cardiff.

0:15:420:15:46

-I think 4 Llys Teilo is over there.

0:15:470:15:50

-This is where I send my Christmas

-cards - but I've never been here.

0:15:510:15:55

-Is Mam in?

0:15:560:15:57

-Is Mam in?

-

-She's playing tennis.

0:15:570:15:59

-Ffion drives to the tennis centre.

0:16:000:16:02

-Ffion!

0:16:020:16:03

-Nice to see you.

0:16:040:16:05

-I called at the house.

0:16:050:16:06

-I called at the house.

-

-Did you? I bet you had a shock!

0:16:060:16:09

-Here's Sian.

0:16:100:16:12

-Do you remember this?

0:16:120:16:14

-No! What is it?

0:16:150:16:17

-It's the Penweddig pop group!

0:16:180:16:22

-I remember everyone in the photo.

0:16:230:16:27

-Was he the French Assistant?

-Bernard.

0:16:310:16:32

-Bernard.

-

-Right!

0:16:320:16:33

-I vaguely remember one or two songs.

0:16:340:16:36

-One was Monday Monday, by The Mamas

-and The Papas - the French version!

0:16:370:16:42

-Then, there was another one,

-"Un, deux, trois...

0:16:420:16:45

-"Toi et moi,

-Un, deux, trois - ooh, la, la!"

0:16:460:16:49

-That's all I remember of the chorus!

0:16:490:16:51

-Wouldn't it be fun

-to organize a reunion?

0:16:520:16:56

-Perhaps we'll find out what we sang!

0:16:560:16:59

-I'm looking forward to the reunion.

0:17:020:17:04

-It'll be interesting to find out

-whether I'm right about the photo.

0:17:050:17:09

-What song did we sing?

0:17:090:17:11

-Perhaps the others will

-have a different take on it.

0:17:120:17:15

-That's another one coming to the

-reunion. There's only one remaining.

0:17:170:17:20

-It's not hard to find Sharon,

-who also lives in Cardiff.

0:17:210:17:25

-I want to take you back a few years.

-Do you remember this?

0:17:290:17:33

-Good grief!

0:17:330:17:34

-I always knew

-I wanted to be a nurse.

0:17:360:17:39

-I was looking forward

-to training to be a nurse.

0:17:390:17:42

-I always wanted to help,

-from when I was a little girl.

0:17:450:17:48

-I enjoy helping people.

0:17:480:17:50

-After nursing

-in Bangor and New Zealand...

0:17:520:17:54

-..she settled

-as a midwife in Cardiff.

0:17:540:17:56

-But six years ago, the family

-went through a difficult time.

0:17:570:18:00

-She discovered

-she had ovarian cancer.

0:18:010:18:04

-Finding out I had cancer

-was quite a shock.

0:18:040:18:08

-Even with my nursing background,

-cancer never crossed my mind.

0:18:080:18:11

-I felt healthy.

0:18:130:18:14

-Looking back, I was tired.

0:18:160:18:18

-But I put that down

-to being busy with the family.

0:18:180:18:21

-I lost 2 stone in a fortnight.

-I was just so weak.

0:18:240:18:27

-Things could have been

-very different.

0:18:290:18:32

-Many of the people who were

-ill the same time as me have died.

0:18:330:18:36

-I could never have gone through it

-without God's sustenance.

0:18:380:18:43

-The peace I found when

-I first discovered I was ill...

0:18:450:18:49

-..kept me going through it all...

0:18:500:18:52

-..even when I felt at my weakest.

0:18:530:18:55

-It makes me feel grateful

-for every day.

0:18:590:19:02

-I live for every day.

0:19:030:19:05

-I never think ahead

-to five or ten years' time.

0:19:060:19:09

-We don't know

-whether we have tomorrow.

0:19:100:19:13

-She's had a clean bill of health for

-five years, and looks to the future.

0:19:160:19:20

-I'm looking forward to seeing

-everyone. It will be lovely.

0:19:210:19:24

-When the picture was taken,

-we didn't know what the future held.

0:19:250:19:29

-The list is complete. But will

-they all come back to Aberystwyth?

0:19:310:19:35

-They arrange to meet

-on the old eisteddfod site.

0:19:370:19:40

-This is where King's Hall stood.

-It's completely different here.

0:19:400:19:44

-I hope someone turns up!

0:19:480:19:50

-She didn't have long to wait.

-Gwennan didn't have to come far.

0:19:520:19:55

-Welcome back to Aberystwyth!

0:19:560:19:58

-Welcome back to Aberystwyth!

-

-Thanks!

0:19:580:19:59

-And here's Sian,

-from Creigiau in Cardiff.

0:20:020:20:05

-THEY CHAT

0:20:060:20:08

-We all get on so well - it will

-be lovely if everyone makes it.

0:20:100:20:14

-Nothing will keep Sharon away.

0:20:150:20:17

-Anne is the next to arrive.

0:20:190:20:21

-The conversation immediately

-turns to the Breton Assistant!

0:20:210:20:24

-Do you remember Bernard?

0:20:250:20:26

-Do you remember Bernard?

-

-He didn't teach me.

0:20:260:20:28

-He was quite exotic, wasn't he?

0:20:290:20:31

-They said that,

-but I don't remember!

0:20:330:20:36

-Who's this?

0:20:370:20:38

-Ruth, the artist from Penygroes,

-comes back to the seaside town.

0:20:390:20:43

-You designed

-our wedding invitations!

0:20:460:20:48

-Yes!

0:20:480:20:50

-Nerys is the last to arrive.

0:20:500:20:53

-No-one has seen her

-since leaving school.

0:20:540:20:57

-I'd recognize

-every one of you straightaway!

0:20:580:21:01

-Was it a French song?

0:21:020:21:04

-Was it a French song?

-

-I can't remember.

0:21:040:21:05

-I wrote the words in my diary.

0:21:060:21:08

-The moves were something like this.

0:21:120:21:15

-I won't sing it! It was like this.

0:21:150:21:17

-Love is a wonderful thing.

0:21:190:21:21

-Original, isn't it?

0:21:230:21:25

-Original, isn't it?

-

-BOMBARDE

0:21:250:21:25

-BOMBARDE

0:21:250:21:26

-THEY CHEER

0:21:300:21:32

-How are you after so long?

0:21:380:21:40

-Do you speak French, Nerys?

0:21:420:21:43

-Do you speak French, Nerys?

-

-A little.

0:21:430:21:44

-Only a little?!

0:21:440:21:46

-Come down!

0:21:460:21:48

-I'm coming.

0:21:490:21:50

-THEY CHAT EXCITEDLY

0:21:510:21:53

-Twenty-eight years later...

0:21:560:21:58

-..and the piper can

-still charm the Penweddig girls.

0:21:590:22:03

-The first question is

-who said I was exotic?

0:22:030:22:06

-A warm welcome awaits him.

0:22:110:22:13

-Bonjour.

0:22:140:22:15

-Nerys.

0:22:150:22:16

-THEY SPEAK FRENCH

0:22:170:22:20

-No guitar, Bernard?

0:22:250:22:27

-I swapped!

0:22:270:22:29

-I played this before the guitar.

0:22:310:22:33

-Bombarde.

0:22:360:22:37

-The photographer is ready.

-It's time to retake the photograph.

0:22:410:22:44

-Your arm is leaning here.

0:22:490:22:52

-To recreate the picture -

-one instrument is totally crucial.

0:22:540:22:57

-We can't take the photograph

-without Bernard and his guitar!

0:22:580:23:01

-Are we all ready -

-thirty years or so later!

0:23:050:23:10

-How was the guitar?

0:23:110:23:13

-They're back at the seaside.

0:23:140:23:17

-Some stayed in Aber,

-others moved away.

0:23:190:23:22

-One travelled far from home.

0:23:230:23:25

-But for a brief moment...

0:23:260:23:28

-..the 1980 Penweddig pop group

-is reunited.

0:23:290:23:32

-It's been an unforgettable day.

-I've enjoyed myself.

0:23:400:23:44

-It was as if we'd never been apart.

0:23:450:23:47

-It's almost as if we were back

-at school together...

0:23:500:23:53

-..laughing and having fun

-just as we were.

0:23:540:23:57

-We all remember things differently.

0:23:580:24:01

-It's all part of one big picture.

0:24:020:24:04

-We have different memories.

0:24:060:24:08

-Our lives have taken us

-to different directions.

0:24:080:24:12

-The journey was more meaningful

-than I expected it to be.

0:24:120:24:15

-I hope we don't have to wait thirty

-more years before we meet up again.
