-on Valentine's Day, Sian?

-Do you like romantic music?

-How about some romantic lighting?

-Do you want some roses?

-And some...

-Don't say any more,

-I'm a newly married woman.

-I'm too late again!

-Romance is over!

-She's married!

-That's all she gets for

-Valentine's Day is a day with me.

-I'm sure our viewers

-will have some romantic evenings.

-You might want to go out

-or you might want to stay in.

-Our first model is Christie.

-I was searching

-for an innocent dress.

-Valentine's outfits

-are usually very confident.

-The dress has static.

-Christie is wearing

-a petticoat underneath.

-The static disappeared

-after wearing that.

-The colour is great

-for Valentine's Day.

-This would be lovely

-in the spring with wedges.

-The dress Christie is wearing

-is 32 from Dorothy Perkins.

-The bag is also from Dorothy Perkins

-and costs 8.

-There's a bit of sparkle in the bag.

-The bag looks very festive.

-The leather in the shoes

-match the bag...

-..without being over the top.

-You could wear this anywhere.

-Many people will see red as an

-obvious colour for the weekend.

-I've gone for pink with Sian.

-This outfit isn't sold as a suit,

-but separately.

-This is great for people

-who are different sizes.

-There are some great items within

-the Limited Collection this season.

-The jacket costs 59.

-The blouse costs 28.

-The trousers are 29.50.

-The pussycat bow on the blouse

-is great.

-I've added a necklace

-for a bit of sparkle.

-This blouse is thought to be

-granny chic.

-You would find items like this

-is a grandmother's wardrobe.

-The fake animal skin is great

-on the shoe.

-I'm over nude

-and the shoes make a statement.

-Our final model is Vicky.

-If you haven't given your partner

-a gift...

-..then this is lovely.

-This shift dress

-has wonderful elements.

-This is also from Outfit.

-Vicky's dress is from

-Little Mistress and costs 55.

-The items from this section

-are different to the other labels.

-This outfit

-is suitable for all ages.

-If you worry that this dress is too

-short then wear some navy tights.

-I don't always like bright shoes,

-but these are great.

-The shoes won't look great

-with navy tights.

-Red shoes are handy in the wardrobe.

-Last week, Nia Parker and

-Donna Joseph came to the studio...

-..to chat about the Mudiad Meithrin

-creche in Cardiff's Old Museum.

-They sent us some photographs

-from the launch on Saturday.

-Good luck to them

-with this new venture.

-After the break, Dr Ann opens the

-The condition is usually described

-as a constant ringing in the ears.

-Lowri Cooke reviews

-the latest big screen releases...

-..including Ben Stiller's new film,

-Zoolander 2.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's Tinnitus Awareness Week.

-The condition is usually described

-as a constant ringing in the ears...

-..but can also be humming,

-clicking, hissing or buzzing.

-It can be soft, loud,

-high-pitched or a low sound.

-In a moment,

-Dr Ann will tell us more about it...

-..but first, let's meet a young man

-who suffers from condition.

-Six months ago, I started getting

-symptoms of labyrinthitis...

-..where I was losing my balance

-and suffered from vertigo.

-It developed into Meniere's disease

-where I went deaf in my right ear.

-As a result,

-I got tinnitus in my right ear.

-It kept me awake at night.

-The sound was a high-pitched,

-loud electrical noise.

-We had a six-month-old baby

-and the crying made it much worse.

-It's in the right ear

-for the majority of the time...

-..but in loud environments it's

-in both ears and lasts for an hour.

-There isn't any medication

-but you're offered advice...

-..and you've got to learn

-to live with it.

-Our thanks to Gareth

-for sharing his story.

-It sounds like

-an uncomfortable condition.

-The noise you hear travels

-to the brain.

-There are five different points...

-..which can cause tinnitus.

-In Gareth's case,

-there was a reason for it.

-Occasionally,

-there are no reasons for its cause.

-It can also occur

-due to health conditions...

-..including hearing loss due to

-sound, ear or sinus infections...

-..heart problems, Meniere disease,

-tumours on the brain...

-..a change in hormone levels for

-women or thyroid abnormalities.

-Being in a concert

-can cause this problem.

-You can get ear plugs for concerts

-which will reduce the risk.

-You have to explain

-the nature of the symptoms.

-Silence is the enemy

-as you will hear more of the noise.

-You won't usually be aware of

-the noise if you're at a party...

-..but in silence,

-you can constantly hear it.

-It's important

-to seek medical advice...

-..to see if an underlying cause

-can be found and treated.

-If necessary, the GP will refer you

-to a hospital specialist.

-They will look at your case

-and attempt to help you.

-There's currently no single

-treatment that works for everyone.

-If an underlying cause

-of the tinnitus can be found...

-..effectively treating it

-may help to improve it.

-I'm going to put this on.

-It shows the various sounds

-that you hear if you have tinnitus.

-These noises can help you

-concentrate on another noise...

-..which will take your mind

-off the tinnitus.

-You can have these

-in a variety of forms...

-..including an app

-and an alarm clock.

-This is available in mp3 form.

-It will be worse

-if you worry about it.

-You need to physically

-and emotionally relax.

-It's half term next week...

-..and Lowri Cooke is going to review

-one of the latest children's films.

-Here's a taster of Goosebumps.

-Not friendly,

-definitely not friendly.

-I'll save you.

-I'm sorry.

-Shut it, shut it!

-EVIL CHUCKLING

-That was a clip of the film,

-Goosebumps.

-Lowri Cooke joins us now.

-What did you think of Goosebumps?

-This is a film for the family.

-I enjoyed this film.

-This film is about the author,

-R L Stine.

-This film concentrates on the

-Goosebumps series of books.

-Zach Cooper is upset about moving

-from the big city to a small town...

-..until he meets his beautiful

-neighbour, Hannah.

-Zach is surprised to learn that

-Hannah's father is R L Stine...

-..the famous author of the

-bestselling Goosebumps series.

-When Zach accidentally unleashes the

-monsters from the tale...

-..it's up to Stine, Hannah and Zach

-to return to beasts...

-..back to the books.

-This is an adventure film.

-Jack Black plays the role of Stine

-and he's fantastic in this.

-Let's see a clip of Deadpool.

-She's going to do a

-superhero landing. Wait for it.

-Wooo... superhero landing!

-That is really hard on your knees.

-Totally impractical. They all do it.

-You're a lovely lady,

-but I'm saving myself for Francis.

-That's why I brought him.

-I prefer not to hit a woman

-so please play...

-I mean, that's why I brought her!

-Oh no, finish your tweet. Just give

-us a second.

-There we go, hashtag it.

-Go get her, tiger!

-What did you think of this film,

-Lowri?

-I wouldn't want to meet those

-two women on a dark night!

-This is a film about superheroes.

-Deadpool doesn't want

-to save the world...

-..but he wants to save himself.

-This film makes Ryan Reynolds

-a true star.

-I couldn't understand why he was

-so successful previously...

-..but he's great in this.

-If you like Ironman,

-you will love this film.

-Ryan Reynolds started as Van Wilder.

-That film was made 15 years ago.

-He's a funny man.

-He's appeared

-in The Green Lantern...

-..but this slick Deadpool character

-is great for him.

-Let's take a look at a clip

-from Zoolander 2.

-I'm out of fashion. I lost the fire.

-You're Derek Zoolander. You stopped

-a Chinese star with a look.

-Flash me that beautiful Magnum.

-Wait, no.

-Wait, no.

-

-Magnum. Now.

-Maybe we could try a wash cloth.

-This is the second film

-in the series.

-This is similar to Anchorman

-and Anchorman 2.

-Zoolander looks like Owain.

-Earlier, Lowri told me that she

-thought I resembled the character...

-..played by Ben Stiller.

-Do you like my pose?

-The first film is better

-than the second.

-If you want to see Owain's twin,

-make sure you go to the cinema.

-After the break, Felix Aubel has

-a collection of Welsh pop bottles.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Felix Aubel

-has joined us in the studio.

-Dr Ann is also here with

-her collection of Welsh pop bottles.

-Welcome to you both.

-These will bring back fond memories

-to a number of our viewers.

-Dr Ann has also returned as she's an

-avid collector of Welsh pop bottles.

-It's a strange collection.

-These were the collection

-owned by my late husband.

-It started with a bottle that he saw

-in New Quay.

-How many bottles do you have?

-There's over 100 bottles

-in the collection.

-The pop bottles reflect an social

-tradition that has long gone.

-Wales boasted a number of pop

-companies until the early 1890s.

-I'm sure many people

-remember the pop man...

-..visiting their homes

-with a van full of soft drinks.

-I remember the pop man!

-I remember having to return

-the bottle.

-The customer

-returned the empty bottles...

-..and usually got a penny

-for their trouble!

-The deposit

-was returned to the customer...

-..if they purchased

-another bottle of pop.

-You could argue that Corona...

-..showed one of the early methods

-of recycling.

-The collection has been split

-into many categories.

-These are from Merthyr Tydfil,

-Blaenavon and other sites.

-There's also the company

-from Porth in the Rhondda.

-By the 1930s, they sold over

-70 million bottles of pop!

-In the 1980s,

-the company was sold to Britvick.

-They closed the company in Porth.

-It was moved to England.

-All these collections are similar.

-Look at the shape of the bottles

-and the colour.

-The colour reflects

-the period and safety.

-In the past, some pop bottles

-contained marbles...

-..and these are very rare

-at the moment.

-The marbles helped to stabilize

-the pop...

-..to stop it from exploding.

-Children often broke the bottles

-to remove the marbles.

-Let's move to the Dyfed area.

-Dr Ann's husband started collecting

-with a bottle from New Quay.

-There's some flat bottles.

-They carried pop.

-A lot of these broke in the past.

-We move to the Swansea area.

-All of these

-are about nine inches deep.

-Most of the bottles were not made by

-the same companies who made the pop.

-Many bottles were made in England.

-Most of the pop was made

-by Thomas & Evans.

-However, the pop was sold under

-different names.

-There's another collection from

-Cardiff, Newport and Penarth.

-Thomas & Evans competed with

-companies from Bristol.

-Most produced their own bottles

-so made more of a profit.

-There are more bottles in the front.

-There's a bottle similar

-to one made by coca-cola.

-They could recycle the bottles.

-All you had to do was return the

-bottle and refill it.

-You cannot do this

-with plastic bottles.

-I think we should return

-to the glass bottles.

-These were sold for about 5 each.

-I suspect that each

-are worth about 10.

-A collection would probably

-sell for over 1,000.

-It's an amazing collection.

-None of these have chips.

-They have been well-looked after.

-I don't collect any more!"

-Thank you, Felix.

-Next, we visit the wonderful

-Aled Valley in North Wales.

-In 2014, one resident started

-compiling a book about the area...

-..by collecting stories

-about the region and its families.

-The recently published book is

-a fantastic record for the locals.

-Elin has been to find out more.

-The Aled Valley

-is a beautiful, rural area.

-It's south of Abergele, west of

-Llanrwst and Denbigh is to the east.

-It's home to many villages such as

-Llansannan, Groes and Blychau.

-Just like any other area, it has

-interesting characters and stories.

-Berwyn Evans has set about

-recording some of that history.

-I've always been interested

-in family history...

-..and collected the stories

-from my father about his family.

-It was a natural step

-to look at community history.

-I've got two sons - one lives nearby

-and the other lives in Ireland.

-Four years ago,

-Rhys sent me a book from Ireland.

-The ladies of the community

-had written a book about their area.

-They had a one photograph

-for each family.

-The Welsh are interested in our own

-This is a book of two halves with

-the first section about the area...

-..and the second half features a

-page each for 100 local families.

-In Llansannan, Dylan Roberts

-has recorded his family history...

-..and the history of his company

-that was established 30 years ago.

-I started on my own and fixed

-various things for farmers.

-It has developed into making sheds

-and outside agriculture.

-None of my workers travel further

-than ten miles to get to work.

-It's great to work so close to home

-and it's a lovely place to work.

-It's rare to find a place

-with workers from Rhyl and Abergele.

-I've worked here for two years and

-it's great to work so close to home.

-Berwyn has done a lot of work

-to compile this book.

-I'm delighted that we have a page

-for the future generations.

-Our communities are full of events

-that are perfect for socialising.

-In Wales, being a member of a choir

-is very popular.

-The Aled Valley has many choirs...

-..but the Bro Aled Male Voice Choir

-boasts some of the best singers.

-# Tender mercies like the flood #

-Many see the value of this book and

-have a page about their families.

-Children love looking

-at old photographs.

-They've been looking at the book and

-want to know about their relatives.

-I live in the village with my wife,

-Siwan and my parents live here too.

-We've got a page each...

-..but my family has lived here

-for 200 years at Nant Bleddyn.

-Our son has a photograph in the book

-so he can look back at it.

-The book is important as it's been

-a labour of love for four years...

-..but I've enjoyed every second

-of compiling it.

-I hope that my children and their

-children will enjoy reading it.

-This choir has been here

-for many years...

-..and I hope this book

-also stands the tests of time.

-# While glorious heavens shall be #

-Those wanting a copy will have to

-wait for the second publication...

-..which will be available

-in the next few months.

-Contact us for the author's details

-and you can order a copy.

-It's time to find out

-what's on tonight's Heno.

-Llinos Lee is at the helm

-for tonight's Heno.

-Last night, we had some technical

-difficulties with Fancy A Fortune?

-It was my first Fancy A Fortune?

-All the numbers were recorded

-and the problem has been fixed...

-..so we'll be calling one lucky

-viewer this evening.

-Your calls were not in vain.

-The person we call

-could win up to 1,000.

-The historian, Dr Elin Jones will

-be my studio guest this evening.

-She'll be chatting to us about her

-role as the honorary president...

-..for the Monmouthshire

-and District National Eisteddfod.

-Rhodri Davies will be live from the

-Riverfront Theatre in Newport...

-..for the first performance of

-The Glass Menagerie by Theatr Pena.

-After the break, Huw has more

-Valentine's Day inspired outfits.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-We close the programme

-with more fashion with Huw Rees.

-Today, we've got outfits that

-are suitable for Valentine's Day.

-What have you got for us now, Huw?

-I'm hoping that people will

-celebrate Valentine's Day.

-We start with Sian.

-You don't have to wear

-florals or red...

-..to look romantic.

-We've got pretty lace

-and some leather.

-The jacket would make a

-wonderful gift.

-The jacket is 69 and on the

-Star label by Julien Macdonald.

-The jacket

-is similar to a biker jacket.

-It's reminiscent of the 1970s.

-There's some lovely lace

-on the blouse.

-There's buttons around

-the back of the neck.

-You can get some make-up

-on the neckline.

-Wear a chiffon scarf

-over your head...

-..and pull the top over it.

-Our next model is Vicky.

-Vicky is quite bohemian.

-This is all about texture.

-I chose Vicky's outfit from H&M...

-..before I'd gone into the shop...

-..but I found a lot of other items

-and changed my mind!

-There's some lovely lace.

-This is a kind colour.

-It's a soft colour that's

-sophisticated too.

-It's reminiscent

-of the Victorian era.

-Wallis is making some suede shoes.

-They were 30.

-They are a great way to finish off

-an outfit.

-You won't find shoes

-that colour in many shops.

-There were some shoes

-on the sale too.

-It's a great way to save money.

-You can pick up some shoes

-for about 6!

-If you've had a great date night...

-..then you can wear something

-similar to Christie's outfit!

-This is what every perfect husband

-will have bought.

-Owain isn't saying anything.

-I'm looking at her feet!

-There's a lovely hood

-on the dressing gown.

-There's a great cut to the

-underwear.

-The knickers are influenced

-by the 1930s.

-I'm sure many women hate Christie

-at the moment.

-She's standing in her bra

-and knickers...

-..but she doesn't want anyone

-to see her feet!

-Take care when buying underwear for

-your partner.

-Tomorrow on Prynhawn Da, Gareth has

-romantic dishes for Valentine's Day.

-Until tomorrow, it's a very

-good afternoon to you all.

-.
