-from Owain "Tag" Williams.

-Who wanted to kill Jesus?

-1) Hari, 2) Herod, or 3) Harold?

-I hope you have

-a cracker of a Christmas!

-Thank you, Owain.

-Here's the question again.

-1) Hari, 2) Herod, or 3) Harold?

-Call us with your answer

-on 08443 35 12 44.

-Get dialling as you've got nothing

-to lose but could win a great prize.

-Yes, get dialling now.

-Our first guest is the singer

-and conductor, Delyth Hopkin Evans.

-She's the conductor of

-the Cor Glannau Ystwyth Choir.

-Welcome to the programme, Delyth.

-The choir is over 40 years old

-but how did it all start?

-I'd just finished my A levels at

-the secondary school in Tregaron...

-..where my music teacher

-was Mrs Ethel Jones.

-A friend, Mrs Bet Isaac told me

-of the area's choral tradition.

-She thought it was time

-to start it again...

-..and that I was the person

-for the job!

-I couldn't refuse because she was a

-friend of Mam-gu and a great singer.

-At the age of 18,

-I decided to start this choir.

-Everyone knows my age because

-it follows the age of the choir.

-I started it at 18

-and we'd rehearse every Tuesday...

-..in the village hall between

-Pontrhydygroes and Ysbyty Ystwyth.

-Our first public performance was

-at the annual Trisant Eisteddfod...

-..on the last Saturday in September

-of that year.

-We have a photograph of that event

-which brings back fond memories.

-Yes, that takes me back

-over a number of years.

-There's been a lot of coming

-and going in the last 44 years...

-..but we still have four members

-from the original choir.

-These photographs

-are full of wonderful people.

-I have fond memories about them all.

-I think the fact that we're

-a rural choir makes it very special.

-The choir was started

-by a group of locals.

-In the 1980s and 1990s, we'd go

-to the National Eisteddfod...

-..and the bus would stop to pick up

-Ifan Pengwernydd, Dic Pen Arthur...

-..Crwys Ty'n Rhos, Maldwyn Bwlch,

-Dai Alltddu and so on and so on.

-It was a wonderful community

-and it's just the same today.

-People say that choirs sing

-but enjoy socialising more.

-Yes, and it's been like that for us

-over the years.

-We've enjoyed the singing

-and learnt a lot...

-..but we've also been a community

-that has laughed and cried together.

-There are times when we've helped

-others through the difficult times.

-You touched on the singing so let's

-see a clip of you from the 1990s.

-# On the coast of the Atlantic Ocean

-# The spirit of freedom

-blows in the wind

-# Today, we'll hear some new words

-# And the melodies of a bygone era #

-That was in 1998

-and I think I was there too!

-What does that say about us, Sian?

-You've enjoyed a lot of success.

-You've enjoyed a lot of success.

-

-Yes, we've been very lucky.

-The pinnacle has been winning three

-times at the National Eisteddfod...

-..in 1993, 1998

-and in 2000 in Llanelli.

-We've also won prizes

-at local Eisteddfodau...

-..in Cardigan, Pontrhydfendigaid,

-Lampeter and the Powys Festival.

-I think it was very important for us

-to support local events...

-..especially in the early years.

-Unfortunately, the choir

-is hanging up its singing books...

-..but has an important

-final concert.

-All good things come to an end

-and everything has a shelf life.

-We've all matured together...

-..and realize we cannot stretch

-ourselves musically as in the past.

-We close every concert with

-our favourite - Yr Anthem Geltaidd.

-Over the years, we've been lucky

-to have an array of soloists...

-..so we don't need anyone

-to accompany us.

-Some of our members are national

-and international winners.

-Crwys Evans has won cantorum

-scholarships at Llangollen.

-Robyn Lyn was a member...

-..and Gwyn Jones has won

-the hymn singing at the Eisteddfod.

-Dafydd Jones is also an expert

-in folk music and Cerdd Dant.

-They have all given

-their time freely to us.

-But it all comes to an end on

-Wednesday with our final concert.

-It isn't an evening for tears but

-to celebrate all our successes...

-..and we've had a great time.

-We also have our very

-own three tenors...

-..namely Crwys,

-who is a member of the choir...

-..Robyn Lyn, who performs

-with the choir when he's home...

-..and John Davies,

-who is a close friend of the choir.

-They will join us at the church

-in Tregaron...

-..to sing some old favourites as

-well as some new songs and carols.

-Good luck with that concert...

-..and congratulations for dedicating

-your life to the choir.

-Merry Christmas to you.

-After the break...

-..we're joined by the presenter

-and adventurer, Lowri Morgan.

-She tell us what she would like

-for Christmas.

-Ysgol y Ffridd

-from Gwalchmai on Anglesey...

-..perform their song in our

-Christmas Carol Competition.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Don't forget about

-our Christmas Cracker Competition.

-Later, we'll be calling one lucky

-viewer who has registered today.

-Call us to register as you could win

-a television or an iPad.

-There's still some great hampers

-left to win.

-I'm amazed

-that you haven't eaten them!

-If you want to win

-one of these great prizes...

-..you need to answer our question

-set by Owain "Tag" Williams.

-Who wanted to kill Jesus?

-1) Hari, 2) Herod, or 3) Harold?

-I hope you have

-a cracker of a Christmas!

-Who wanted to kill Jesus?

-1) Hari, 2) Herod, or 3) Harold?

-Call us with your answer

-on 08443 35 12 44.

-Get dialling now to be in with

-a chance of winning a great prize.

-Yes, and the phone lines

-close at 2.30pm.

-Our next guest is the presenter

-and adventurer, Lowri Morgan.

-How are you?

-I'm very well

-and thank you for having me here.

-Later, you're going to be

-chatting about your series, 3/3/3.

-First, we want to know about the

-three gifts you'd like at Christmas.

-Was it difficult to pick the three

-things you'd like for Christmas?

-No, it wasn't very difficult because

-I don't want a lot of things.

-I'm very lucky and I don't need

-a lot of things in my life...

-..but I do think there's a lot

-of unhappiness in the world.

-At Christmas, I think we should

-look after the less fortunate.

-My ideal gift would be a huge sack

-of money for the charity, Cerebra.

-It's a charity for children

-with neurological problems...

-..that also helps the families

-whilst the child is recovering.

-I've been raising money for Cerebra

-during the 3/3/3 challenge...

-..and giving something more to the

-charity would make me very happy.

-Why did you choose that charity?

-I always support Welsh charities

-when I do my challenges.

-I managed to raise 20,000

-for Shelter Cymru.

-Cerebra is a very small charity

-from Wales...

-..who are grateful

-for all the support that they get.

-I'm proud to use my running to help

-those less fortunate than me.

-I'm also a mother and had

-a few issues when I had Gwilym...

-..so it's important to help those

-in a similar situation.

-Your first is a sack of money

-for charity.

-The second gift you'd like

-is more personal.

-Yes, and you need to be selfish

-from time to time.

-I recently went to Peru

-to work on a documentary.

-I went to the Andes where I lived

-and met people who work in the area.

-This experience was very humbling.

-During this adventure, I looked

-after the most incredible animals.

-They are called vicunas.

-They are owned by the king

-and it's illegal to kill them.

-Their wool is so expensive.

-You're talking

-about 10,000 for a scarf!

-I'd like a hat and scarf.

-I know it's never going to happen.

-I'm out and about all the time

-and would love a hat.

-I'm imagining that vicunas

-are something like a llama.

-They are the shape of a llama but

-their wool is very light and soft.

-They have massive, beautiful eyes.

-..where you'll see me help

-the villagers to herd the animals.

-They shear these animals.

-I hope you didn't do any shearing

-and ruined the fleece!

-I saw it all happen

-and it was a fantastic experience.

-I got to see them being released

-back into the wild...

-..so they could grow

-their coats again.

-You can only shear them

-once every three years.

-You've completed a number

-of challenges in your time.

-Yes, just about!

-You're facing another challenge

-which brings us to your third gift.

-Yes, it's seven ultra marathons

-over seven days in seven continents.

-It is possible

-and one man has done it.

-I'd like to be the first woman and

-second person to do it in the world.

-You have to run an ultra marathon

-and travel to the next continent.

-Yes, and an ultra marathon

-is anything over 50km.

-It starts in Antarctica because it's

-the most difficult place to reach...

-..then fly to South America,

-North America, Europe...

-..Asia and Africa...

-..before finishing in Australia.

-And you'll do all that in a week.

-Where will you sleep?

-Where will you sleep?

-

-On the aeroplane!

-It'll be my biggest challenge

-in terms of eating and sleeping.

-There's a 15-hour-break

-as I cross the Atlantic Ocean...

-..and two hours between Europe,

-Asia and Africa.

-When do you plan on doing this?

-When do you plan on doing this?

-

-There's five weeks to go!

-I'm currently raising money

-and trying to find sponsors.

-Everything is in place

-but I just need to find sponsors.

-What drives you, Lowri?

-Do you enjoy a night at home

-with your feet up?

-Yes, I love it.

-I'm happier sitting down knowing

-that I've done a run in the morning.

-Thank you, Lowri.

-We'll chat about your series, 3/3/3

-later in the programme.

-We've already had a full week

-of competing from Welsh schools.

-Each is deserving of a place

-on the shortlist...

-..for this year's

-Christmas Carol Competition.

-Today is the turn of Ysgol y Ffridd

-in Gwalchmai on Anglesey.

-Our carol is called Nadolig Ydyw Hi.

-The message of the carol

-is that this is an ancient story...

-..but it's important to remember

-the true meaning of Christmas today.

-We composed the carol with

-Mrs Gwenda Jones, our music teacher.

-Mrs Jones also wrote the lyrics.

-We're delighted to sing our carol

-to you and hope you enjoy it.

-Merry Christmas to you all

-from everyone at Ysgol y Ffridd.

-# It's been over 2,000 years

-but the story is still told

-# The story of Bethlehem, when

-the Saviour of the World was born

-# A new day dawned

-when the King of Heaven was born

-# The most precious gift

-# We sing praise to him

-# Shepherds watching their sheep

-on the hill

-# They were stunned by the light

-- a bright and shining light

-# The angel came to them

-with an important message

-# About the birth of Jesus, the

-friend of all the world's children

-# Christmas

-# Christmas

-# It's Christmas

-# The Wise Men followed

-the bright star from the East

-# They travelled from afar

-to Bethlehem

-# Gold, frankincense and myrrh were

-their gifts for Jesus, Mary's baby

-# The special little baby

-in a cosy manger

-# The angels sing to him

-# And we'll sing to him too

-# This Christmas,

-we'll remember his birth

-# In all four corners of the globe

-# This is an old, old story

-that we'll remember all of our lives

-# Bethlehem fell silent at

-the birth of Christ, the Son of God

-# Let us experience the peace

-as it was in days gone by

-# A world filled with faith,

-hope and kindness

-# Christmas

-# Christmas

-# It's Christmas

-# Christmas

-# Christmas

-# It's Christmas #

-Thanks to Ysgol y Ffridd

-for that wonderful carol.

-After the break, Dylan shows us

-the wines to serve on Christmas Day.

-Lowri returns

-to chat about her series, 3/3/3.

-You can hear all about it

-in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Before the end of the programme...

-..one of you will play

-our Christmas Cracker Competition.

-You could win

-one of these brilliant prizes.

-We're looking forward

-to our Christmas dinner now.

-Today, we're discussing wine

-with Dylan Rowlands.

-Welcome to the programme.

-What kind of wines

-do you have for us today?

-I have wines for all times of

-the day, including with the meal.

-First, I have light wines

-to drink before the meal.

-There is always a debate about

-red or white wines with your meal.

-Turkey is a white meat but you're

-also having sausages and bacon.

-You need a wine with plenty of taste

-to compete with those flavours.

-We always think that white wine goes

-with white meat and red with red.

-Christmas dinner can be different.

-A little bit of everything.

-What do you have for us?

-This is a French Sauvignon Blanc.

-It's fresh, light and easy to drink.

-You could have it with smoked salmon

-before the meal.

-That's what we usually have

-for a starter.

-Llinos' family always had prawns

-before the turkey.

-That is nice.

-That is nice.

-

-I like it too.

-It is very nice.

-It's quite sharp at the end.

-It cuts through a lot.

-There is a bit of elderflower,

-gooseberry and lychees.

-It's very light.

-I like it but I don't think I could

-drink it throughout the day.

-It's not to my taste.

-It's not too expensive.

-We always want the best

-for Christmas Day...

-..but it doesn't mean

-we have to spend a lot.

-These prices are very reasonable.

-Maybe it's not the right time

-to drink the best wines.

-There is so much else going on

-and so much food around.

-Good wines can get lost

-amongst everything else.

-I wanted something

-with a stronger taste.

-This is an Australian chardonnay.

-It's a bit out of fashion

-these days.

-I don't like chardonnay.

-It is nice, full of flavour

-with plenty of oak.

-It's acidic and will cut through

-all the fat.

-It's well priced

-for an Australian wine.

-I'll stick with the first one.

-I'll stick with the first one.

-

-I'll take the second!

-You might not think of red wine

-with turkey.

-Pinot noir is a grape

-that goes with turkey.

-It's not as full bodied

-as some other grapes.

-It has some oak in it

-and is a Gold Medal winner.

-It's great for the price

-of around 8.

-That is reasonable.

-have a bitter aftertaste.

-This is nice and smooth.

-It's acidic and has some tannins.

-You get fruits like strawberries,

-raspberries and red currants.

-It will cut through a lot of the fat

-in the meal.

-When you say those fruits,

-I can taste them!

-On my own, I wouldn't have a clue!

-There is some auto suggestion.

-Now to a Rioja.

-I like Rioja and there are

-so many different types.

-It's quite full bodied

-and might not suit a turkey dinner.

-It would suit goose or beef.

-Some people often have

-a joint of beef with the turkey.

-It will also go well

-with a cheeseboard.

-It's full bodied enough

-to go with Stilton.

-It's quite a dark wine.

-There is oak in this one too.

-Rioja also tastes of red fruits

-like strawberries.

-I really like this one.

-It's nice but heavier.

-It can stand up to the flavour

-..and goes well with cheese.

-Is it hard to find good wines

-because so many are quite good?

-I think most wines are quite good.

-10 for a Rioja Reserva

-is great value.

-We've come a long way in 20 years.

-There were only a few reasonable

-priced wines back then.

-from all over the globe these days.

-I'll have to write these down.

-We've covered the starters,

-second course, turkey and pudding.

-Cheese too, so we're all sorted.

-Dylan, thank you very much.

-Dylan, thank you very much.

-

-You're welcome.

-Merry Christmas.

-Merry Christmas.

-

-Merry Christmas to you too.

-Do you know what's great with wine?

-More wine?

-No, mince pies.

-Daf has been finding out

-which mince pies are the best.

-Mince pies have been around

-for 800 years.

-Originally, it was lamb that was

-used but things have changed.

-The price has also changed.

-I wonder if the people

-of Carmarthen...

-..can spot the cheapest

-and the most expensive.

-Start wherever you want.

-How about the one at the front.

-Thank you.

-This one looks quite nice.

-I have something to warm you up.

-Mince pies.

-Mince pies.

-

-I'm a connoisseur.

-I want you to tell me which is

-the cheapest and most expensive.

-Right.

-How is that one?

-Do you like the filling

-or the pastry?

-The filling.

-You look for a good filling.

-What do you think?

-What do you think?

-

-It's very nice.

-Some wine would be nice!

-It's only twenty past eleven!

-This is the second one.

-That's not as nice.

-The filling is better in that one.

-So this has better pastry

-and the filling is better here.

-In it goes!

-I don't have any mulled wine

-to wash it down.

-Which one is the cheapest?

-Those ones.

-Which are the middle priced?

-Those.

-How about the most expensive?

-These ones here.

-You have excellent taste

-because you are correct.

-One, two, three.

-You think these are the cheapest.

-No, these are the middle priced ones

-from Iceland.

-These are the most expensive

-from M&S.

-You thought these were

-the most expensive...

-..but they're the cheapest,

-79p from Aldi!

-Third.

-Second.

-First.

-You think they're the most

-expensive.

-I can tell you they're the

-mid-priced ones from Iceland.

-You thought these were second.

-They're form Aldi.

-You were right about the most

-expensive ones from M&S.

-Thank you.

-Merry Christmas, Tommo.

-Tommo is very greedy!

-He knows his mince pies.

-I haven't had one yet.

-You now know which ones to buy.

-Lowri Morgan is our guest today.

-We can't allow you to go without

-talking about your series, 3/3/3.

-The second of three programmes

-has already been aired.

-Explain a little about

-the 3/3/3 challenge.

-Three ultra marathons

-of over 50 kilometres.

-Three peaks in three days.

-It's that simple!

-"It's that simple", she says!

-150 miles in three days,

-running through the country.

-You must have seen some spectacular

-views running through Wales.

-I was running with some of the most

-inspiring athletes in the country.

-It was a great experience.

-We have some pictures

-from last week's programme.

-It was a shock to the system.

-That cold had affected me.

-I'm feeling alright now.

-I've reached the summit

-so it's all downhill now.

-The best way to describe it

-is a roller coaster of emotions.

-We've completed the highest summit.

-Yes, and it was within our time

-of an hour and 30 minutes.

-I'm happy with that.

-As we raced down

-towards Llyn Cwellyn...

-..I appreciated that incredible

-feeling of conquering Snowdon.

-You look back

-and see how far you've come.

-You're quite emotional in every race

-but why this time?

-I had been suffering from a cold

-before starting the challenge.

-You said there that you were

-suffering.

-It was still lingering

-and I was on antibiotics.

-When I started on Snowdon, the size

-of the challenge really hit home.

-150 miles in three days and I was

-struggling to run a single mile.

-It was also very hot.

-I was a bit heartbroken but by the

-time we got to the summit...

-..I felt strong, good

-and more positive.

-That is the roller coaster of

-emotions that I go through.

-The last programme is this Thursday.

-No, it's the third

-of four programmes.

-The third programme

-is about the second day...

-..and the final programme

-concentrates on the last day.

-I look forward to watching.

-Lowri, it's been lovely having you.

-Good luck on your next challenge

-and thank you.

-After the break...

-..Lowri Steffan will have ideas

-on setting your Christmas table.

-See you in a few minutes.

-on setting the Christmas table.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-We are reaching

-the end of preparations.

-People spend more time setting

-their tables these days.

-I have three different looks.

-We start with Asda.

-It's very reasonable.

-It can be very Christmassy.

-These tartan plates

-are very Christmassy.

-These set of twelve plates

-are 18 from Asda.

-It's a good price.

-These red wine glasses

-are 3.50 from Asda.

-I love glasses

-you can buy as singles.

-I like the glitter in the coasters

-and place mats.

-The red place mats

-are 12 for twelve.

-the gold place mats are 2 each.

-They are very reasonable

-and traditional.

-The candle is 4 from Asda.

-You might not have much room.

-The candle fits well.

-This is much lighter.

-I like this next table.

-It really caught my eye.

-It's mostly from M&S.

-The set of 12 Hampton plates

-are 79 from M&S.

-The cup and saucer are 9.50

-from M&S.

-It's far more expensive.

-This is top of the range at M&S.

-You can use these through the year.

-The large serving plates

-are 12.50 from M&S.

-The smaller serving plates

-are 5 from M&S.

-The silver deer are 22.50 from M&S.

-They are very heavy.

-Very good quality deer.

-You can also use them all year.

-The table runner is from Next

-and costs 22.

-There are plenty of runners around.

-The trend is away from tablecloths.

-It's a lovely look.

-Now for the gold look.

-This is from Whitford's

-in Burry Port.

-Whitford's have a 30-piece

-plate service for 125.

-It's worth the money

-because you get 30 pieces.

-It's very luxurious.

-The wine glasses are 32

-for a set of four.

-The champagne glasses

-are 16 for two.

-You can buy these as gifts too.

-The centrepiece is from Whitford's

-and costs 49.95.

-You need quite a lot of room

-for this centrepiece.

-Tamaid Bach makes small things

-for Christmas.

-Nia started the business

-after she had some spare time.

-Tamaid Bach products are available

-in Whitford's in Burry Port.

-That's all from us this afternoon.

-We're back at 2.00pm tomorrow with

-our Christmas Cracker Competition.
