0:01:10 > 0:01:14- That was the most important thing - about Jabas.

0:01:19 > 0:01:24- In no time, fans all over Wales - were besotted with Jabas.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28- This is my first scrap book.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32- We copied their hairstyles, - earrings and clothes.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35- "Jabas, here today, 2pm"

0:01:37 > 0:01:40- I had T-shirts, badges, - anything about Jabas.

0:01:41 > 0:01:47- I'd go wherever Jabas appeared, - after checking the times and places.

0:01:47 > 0:01:53- I was a member of the Owain Gwilym - Fan Club. I never missed an episode.

0:01:53 > 0:01:59- I liked the stories and finding out - what trouble he got into next.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Do you see that bloke on the shore?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10- It's Clint!

0:02:10 > 0:02:16- Jabas was a teenager - who was quite a hit with the girls.

0:02:16 > 0:02:21- You couldn't help liking him - because of his nature.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23- He was mischievous, not a bad boy.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26- It helped that he was handsome!

0:02:26 > 0:02:31- Today, the hero who made girls' - hearts flutter is under a sink.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34- He's a plumber - and a radio presenter.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37- He's Jabas Jones, or Owain Gwilym.

0:02:37 > 0:02:42- When I heard they were looking - for someone to play Jabas...

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- ..I didn't think of it as a career.

0:02:45 > 0:02:50- It was a summer holiday job, - six weeks on the Lleyn Peninsula.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55- A chance to do some fishing. - That's what appealed to me.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57- # Venus # - Bananarama

0:02:58 > 0:03:02- Owain lives on the Lleyn Peninsula - with his wife and three sons.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06- Today, he's back - at his grandmother's house...

0:03:06 > 0:03:08- ..where he stayed while filming.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14- We lived, or just slept, - in the outside bedroom.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18- If you needed the toilet - in the night...

0:03:18 > 0:03:23- ..you could use the outside loo - or the chamberpot under the bed!

0:03:24 > 0:03:29- It wasn't showbiz! - We didn't stay in a posh hotel!

0:03:29 > 0:03:33- But I wouldn't - have changed anything.

0:03:33 > 0:03:40- The gang's romantic entanglements - kept viewers hooked.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Jabas was joined - in every scrape by Gwil.

0:03:46 > 0:03:52- Jabas was my favourite, - but Gwil was a close second.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Wali Welsh is a real sneak.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Guto Gwyn Jones played Gwil.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04- Although he was Owain's best man, - they haven't met for ten years.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05- How are you?

0:04:05 > 0:04:07- How are you?- - I'm fine.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08- It's been years.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10- It's been years.- - I heard you were here.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11- It's been a long time.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13- It's been a long time.- - How are you?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15- And the family?

0:04:15 > 0:04:16- Fine. Everyone OK with you?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Fine. Everyone OK with you?- - They're fine.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Remember the last time you visited?

0:04:20 > 0:04:25- You were in your mother's car - and did a handbrake turn here!

0:04:25 > 0:04:26- Come off it!

0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Come off it!- - And hooting your horn!

0:04:28 > 0:04:32- If your mother's watching, - Guto smashed your car!

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- A proper Lleyn farmer. Sorry!

0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Nothing much disturbed him.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44- Gwil would probably be a farmer now.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Guto is usually found - on a farm now too.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51- He lives in Cerrigydrudion - with his wife and three children.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00- We became very close.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04- We had fun while we worked...

0:05:04 > 0:05:09- ..and spent a lot of time together - off camera too.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11- What's the Welsh word for lesbian?

0:05:14 > 0:05:16- There isn't one.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19- They must be rare in Wales.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23- The young cast spent their days - on local beaches.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28- Owain and Guto sail back - to the past again today.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32- They've had a "brain wave" - and go to Pwllheli Marina.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Good grief!

0:05:34 > 0:05:35- How are you?

0:05:35 > 0:05:36- How are you?- - It's been ages.

0:05:37 > 0:05:38- A very long time.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41- An old friend waits for them.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44- You might as well give up, Picsi.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47- I'll catch one before nightfall!

0:05:49 > 0:05:51- This is Picsi.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Yesterday and today.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Hello, how are you?

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Guto, Owain, how are you?

0:06:08 > 0:06:13- Picsi was my favourite. - He was very funny and daft.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15- He had the craziest "brain waves".

0:06:16 > 0:06:17- I've had a brain wave.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Brain wave.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22- My brain wave is the only way!

0:06:22 > 0:06:29- Poor Picsi was always in trouble, - one sandwich short of a picnic!

0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Picsi has more sandwiches - in his picnic now.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38- He's a GP on Anglesey.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40- This is Dr Harri Pritchard.

0:06:41 > 0:06:46- I remember the headmaster saying, - "You've been offered the role.

0:06:46 > 0:06:51- "We want you to be a doctor, not - an actor. Don't change your mind."

0:06:51 > 0:06:53- I'm glad to say I didn't.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57- We're all in the same boat.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59- The same boat!

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Do you remember - filming off Llanbedrog?

0:07:02 > 0:07:06- I had conjunctivitis - and had to wear sunglasses.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09- My eyes were bloodshot!

0:07:09 > 0:07:10- You don't need sunglasses today.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12- You don't need sunglasses today.- - I'd look silly!

0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Do you remember the horse?

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Yes, just that it wasn't a horse.

0:07:19 > 0:07:20- You won't see me on that, mate!

0:07:20 > 0:07:22- You won't see me on that, mate!- - HORSE NEIGHS

0:07:22 > 0:07:25- One scene made me - roll with laughter.

0:07:26 > 0:07:31- Picsi has a brain wave and jumps - on a horse. It was hilarious.

0:07:31 > 0:07:32- Oh!

0:07:32 > 0:07:36- It's a secret, - but it wasn't me on the horse.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40- It was filmed on a Land Rover!

0:07:40 > 0:07:43- This kind of thing - always happens to me!

0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Don't worry, it's a lucky horse!

0:07:46 > 0:07:47- Aargh!

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- All I did was walk - a little with the horse.

0:07:51 > 0:07:52- Mam will be furious!

0:07:52 > 0:07:56- Stop moaning! - We'll think of something.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Ruth and Picsi.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03- They were the oddest couple ever!

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- What happened to Ruth, - Picsi's girlfriend?

0:08:09 > 0:08:11- In the Amlwch Copperfest...

0:08:11 > 0:08:15- ..Harri enjoys listening - to Eleri Fon.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24- This is Lowri Mererid, or Glenda.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Eleri, Lowri, how are you?

0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Harri, what a surprise! - How are you?

0:08:47 > 0:08:52- I've got two, - they're thirteen and three.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- The world has changed, Harri.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00- Picsi doesn't mind.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Picsi doesn't mind.- - A girlfriend who stinks of fags?

0:09:02 > 0:09:05- He says I look sexy when I smoke.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- We never felt we were acting.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13- We just had to be natural - and say what was in the script.

0:09:13 > 0:09:14- Shall we phone for a taxi?

0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Shall we phone for a taxi?- - We'll hitch a lift.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19- We'll soon get a lift, - with me looking so fab!

0:09:20 > 0:09:23- # Ooh, know yourself #

0:09:24 > 0:09:25- We went on to sing.

0:09:26 > 0:09:31- It has shaped our lives. - I met my partner in a band.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34- That happened because of Jabas.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38- Our lives - would have been totally different.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40- We had three fantastic summers.

0:09:41 > 0:09:42- # Aah aah aah

0:09:43 > 0:09:48- # Like a swallow in flight #

0:09:49 > 0:09:54- But nothing could have prepared - the cast for what happened next.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Are you a member of the Jabas Club?

0:09:58 > 0:09:59- Yes.

0:09:59 > 0:10:00- Have you paid 2?

0:10:00 > 0:10:01- Have you paid 2?- - Yes.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04- The fans were amazing.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07- I'll never forget - the first Urdd Eisteddfod.

0:10:08 > 0:10:09- We were at S4C's marquee.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12- We were at S4C's marquee.- - I remember being mobbed.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17- Bouncers had to escort us - from the marquee.

0:10:17 > 0:10:23- Hundreds of children - screaming "Jabas! Jabas!"

0:10:24 > 0:10:28- For about six years, - the Eisteddfod wasn't the same.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30- It was too much sometimes.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33- We weren't prepared for it at all.

0:10:34 > 0:10:35- Do you like Owain Gwilym?

0:10:35 > 0:10:36- Do you like Owain Gwilym?- - Yes.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40- Obsessed!

0:10:40 > 0:10:45- I'd go to see him - when he sang in gigs...

0:10:45 > 0:10:50- ..or played football - in a charity match.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52- I even went to his wedding!

0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Not the actual wedding! - I stood outside taking photos.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59- It's time to reunite the gang.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Before that, we go back to school.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06- We go on a trip to London.

0:11:06 > 0:11:11- And hear more about sex, drugs - and rock 'n' roll!

0:11:13 > 0:11:14- .

0:11:23 > 0:11:23- 888

0:11:23 > 0:11:25- 888- - 888

0:11:27 > 0:11:29- Isn't Jabas a hunk?

0:11:30 > 0:11:33- A chapel jumble sale outfit?

0:11:33 > 0:11:38- In the late 1980s, the TV series - Jabas drew this young gang together.

0:11:38 > 0:11:43- What has happened to them - since this photo was taken in 1987?

0:11:44 > 0:11:45- # Yes, I'm JJ

0:11:46 > 0:11:48- # Not the wally on TV

0:11:48 > 0:11:50- # It's havoc in our house

0:11:50 > 0:11:52- # My name is Jabas Jones #

0:11:53 > 0:11:58- One tried his luck on the rock scene, - much to his fans' delight.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01- I taped him when he was on TV.

0:12:01 > 0:12:06- I followed Owain Gwilym everywhere. - In truth, I was obsessed.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08- RAPS

0:12:09 > 0:12:14- After Jabas, I was offered jobs - and I just did them.

0:12:14 > 0:12:20- People offered me work. - I thought, why not?

0:12:21 > 0:12:24- # Remember Llywarch without pants

0:12:24 > 0:12:26- # And remember the Jabas Jones rap #

0:12:27 > 0:12:32- Good afternoon. I'm Owain - and I'm with you for three hours.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37- After Jabas, Owain became - a presenter on Radio Cymru.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- They're getting Sesiwn Fawr - Dolgellau back on its feet.

0:12:41 > 0:12:46- With the radio work, - you can hide, in a way.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49- No-one sees you.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56- Even now, the attention - he received makes him uneasy.

0:12:57 > 0:13:02- You go from nothing to having people - saying all sorts of things.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- It feels uncomfortable even now.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08- I see myself as an ordinary bloke.

0:13:08 > 0:13:13- I don't see myself - as an actor on a popular series.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18- As well as popular characters...

0:13:18 > 0:13:22- ..controversial issues - were part of its appeal.

0:13:23 > 0:13:29- It was quite daring. You wonder - if some scenes would be shot now.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32- I've got new stuff you can try.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Thanks, Clint.

0:13:35 > 0:13:40- It was a big thing at the time, - but it sent out a good message.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Howard changed - from being a clever boy...

0:13:43 > 0:13:47- ..to losing almost everything - because of drugs.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51- Howard became a heroin addict.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55- It was a challenging role - for Dafydd Williams.

0:13:55 > 0:14:00- I remember acting being ill, - getting the fix...

0:14:00 > 0:14:02- ..then feeling much better.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05- It was certainly innovative - at the time.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09- But acting wasn't for Dafydd.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13- He's a Maths teacher - at Ysgol Glan y Mor, Pwllheli.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Does anyone know - where Jabas Jones is?

0:14:16 > 0:14:21- He's probably got the runs, sir. - He said he had a stomach ache.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24- The correct term is diarrhoea.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29- Today, Dafydd is back - at the school in Pwllheli...

0:14:29 > 0:14:31- ..where Jabas was filmed.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Waiting for him is Owain.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38- This is like Wuthering Heights - and I'm Heathcliff!

0:14:38 > 0:14:39- Dafydd.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40- Dafydd.- - Hi.

0:14:40 > 0:14:40- How are you?

0:14:40 > 0:14:41- How are you?- - Not bad. You?

0:14:42 > 0:14:42- It's been a long time.

0:14:42 > 0:14:43- It's been a long time.- - Yes.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44- A fortnight!

0:14:44 > 0:14:45- A fortnight!- - LAUGHTER

0:14:46 > 0:14:48- # Sosej, Bins A Chips # - Rocyn

0:14:48 > 0:14:50- # Oh, it's hard to stick to the diet

0:14:51 > 0:14:54- # Everyone says it's easy - but it's hard for me #

0:14:55 > 0:15:00- I felt lucky to get a good job - over the summer.

0:15:00 > 0:15:05- It must have made an impression - in Ireland. It was banned there!

0:15:05 > 0:15:06- Was it?

0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Was it?- - Yes, because of the drugs storyline.

0:15:09 > 0:15:14- Jabas caused quite a stir - in Ireland.

0:15:14 > 0:15:15- Back in Wales...

0:15:15 > 0:15:20- ..everyone talked about the love - triangle - Pegi, Jabas and Lois.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22- # So off to the cafe I went #

0:15:23 > 0:15:27- The boys have arranged a date - for me with that tall, blond boy.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31- Lois moved from Cardiff - to North Wales...

0:15:31 > 0:15:35- ..and made a big impression - on one young man...

0:15:35 > 0:15:37- ..on one occasion in particular.

0:15:38 > 0:15:43- I didn't realize - how many love scenes there were!

0:15:43 > 0:15:45- It was quite racy, looking back.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57- Maybe... we should - have a drink first.

0:16:00 > 0:16:05- For the first time since filming - the scene, she's back in the area.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15- And seven months pregnant.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Here's the sofa...

0:16:18 > 0:16:21- ..where Lois seduced Jabas.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23- This is Lowri Glain.

0:16:23 > 0:16:28- I remember watching the sofa scene - with Nain and Mam.

0:16:29 > 0:16:34- It was the worst idea I've ever had. - I think Nain was 80.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39- She said, "I didn't know you knew - about that kind of thing, Lowri."

0:16:40 > 0:16:46- The director's assistant - gave me a tube of toothpaste.

0:16:46 > 0:16:51- He told me to put some - in my mouth and I'd be OK.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54- He was fantastic!

0:17:00 > 0:17:04- Lowri now lives - in Notting Hill in London.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06- She's expecting her second child...

0:17:06 > 0:17:11- ..and enjoys a busy life with - her barrister husband and her son.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15- I couldn't get tired of London. - There's so much to do here.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17- But when my batteries are low...

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- ..I go home to Cardiff - for some fresh air.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Ysgytlaeth mefus.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26- Strawberry milkshake to you.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30- Since Jabas, Lowri has become - a successful drama producer...

0:17:30 > 0:17:33- ..on series like Casualty - and Mistresses.

0:17:34 > 0:17:40- Working on Jabas helped me grasp - what that kind of work entailed.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43- It helped me a lot as a producer.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49- However, Lois wouldn't keep Jabas - for long.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Pegi was his true love.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Everyone was jealous of Pegi.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59- She was very pretty. - We weren't too keen on her!

0:18:01 > 0:18:06- Some fans were jealous - of this girl too.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10- There was a competition - to win a date with Jabas.

0:18:11 > 0:18:17- I entered the competition, - but I didn't win.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21- I scribbled on the girl's face. - Sorry, whoever she is.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23- That girl was Heledd.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26- One of the most difficult things...

0:18:27 > 0:18:32- ..was trying to hold a conversation - because of the age difference.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34- I remember rabbiting on.

0:18:34 > 0:18:39- I still blush when I recall - some of the stupid things I said.

0:18:40 > 0:18:44- But only one romance - kept the fans watching...

0:18:44 > 0:18:46- ..in the summer of 1987.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Would Pegi get her man at last?

0:18:50 > 0:18:55- There are a lot of things - I want to say to you, like thanks.

0:18:55 > 0:18:56- Oh?

0:18:56 > 0:18:57- Come to the harbour at seven...

0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Come to the harbour at seven...- - Come on, Jabas, don't waste time.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02- OK, I'm coming.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04- SIGHS

0:19:05 > 0:19:07- This is Buddug Povey.

0:19:08 > 0:19:13- I enjoyed every moment of filming, - from start to finish.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19- It helped me to settle on a career.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24- Actress Buddug has played Kay - in Rownd A Rownd for ten years.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28- You're well enough - to go bowling with Kelvin?

0:19:28 > 0:19:29- Yes.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34- One scene in Jabas - has stuck in her memory.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36- SCREAMS

0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Filming that was very exciting.

0:19:40 > 0:19:45- They put a belt - with lead weights on me...

0:19:45 > 0:19:48- ..so that I went down in the water.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50- The diver lifted me up.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54- Filming the drowning scene - was very realistic.

0:19:55 > 0:19:56- SCREAMS

0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Jabas!

0:20:01 > 0:20:06- For years after that, - I was scared in swimming pools...

0:20:06 > 0:20:10- ..unless my feet touched the bottom.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14- After loving him - from a distance for so long...

0:20:14 > 0:20:16- ..would Pegi win Jabas's heart?

0:20:16 > 0:20:21- I think Pegi caught his eye first.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23- There was something between them.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27- But she was very shy - and didn't know what to say.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Pegi got him in the end.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Am I still pathetic?

0:20:34 > 0:20:35- Am I still pathetic?- - No.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37- You never were pathetic.

0:20:46 > 0:20:46- Hey, Jab!

0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Hey, Jab!- - LAUGHTER

0:20:52 > 0:20:56- That was the last scene - in the first series of Jabas.

0:20:56 > 0:21:01- After 20 years, the gang meets - to take another photo.

0:21:03 > 0:21:08- The boys are first - to arrive at Llanbedrog beach...

0:21:08 > 0:21:10- ..where the 1987 photo was taken.

0:21:10 > 0:21:11- How are you?

0:21:22 > 0:21:28- Gilly was a privileged girl - whose family had moved from England.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33- She was a very different person...

0:21:33 > 0:21:36- ..to the rather naive - local youngster.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Non still lives - on the Lleyn Peninsula.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44- Her children have found - their mother's old Jabas videos.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48- They've watched them a lot. - It's embarrassing!

0:21:48 > 0:21:50- But they really enjoyed the series.

0:21:50 > 0:21:56- The stories clearly captured - their imagination, even now.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Perhaps it hasn't dated too much.

0:22:02 > 0:22:03- BANGING

0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Aargh!

0:22:09 > 0:22:12- With Non, the photo is complete.

0:22:15 > 0:22:20- Some of the gang - haven't met since Jabas was filmed.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22- We haven't worn the same clothes!

0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Twenty years have passed - since the gang came to the beach.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31- They never imagined - how popular the series would be.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34- There, Owain, on the big rock.

0:22:36 > 0:22:37- Here?

0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Here?- - Lower down.

0:22:41 > 0:22:46- As they get on the rock, - some need to be extra careful.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Owain, you sit there.

0:22:50 > 0:22:55- Put your feet up, almost - as if you're giving birth.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57- Only one will give birth - here today!

0:22:58 > 0:23:00- LAUGHTER

0:23:04 > 0:23:06- I'll put my feet on Harri's head.

0:23:07 > 0:23:11- Since Jabas was filmed, - everyone's lives have changed.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14- The Southwalian - is going be a mother again.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17- The funny lad is a doctor.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19- The pin-up is a plumber.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22- He's got no prop for his feet.

0:23:22 > 0:23:28- But for a moment, the Jabas gang - are back together again.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Everyone!

0:23:47 > 0:23:52- When you grow up, - everyone has a crush on a TV hero.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56- It was nice for my generation - to have a Welsh hero.

0:24:03 > 0:24:08- Having something like that - in Wales in the 1980s was important.

0:24:09 > 0:24:10- It was cool.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17- It's over 20 years now...

0:24:17 > 0:24:22- ..but the characters are still - so vivid in my memory.
