-It was great

-Roy joins us now to tell us more

-about the series.

-Welcome to the programme, Roy.

-Thank you.

-I'd like to congratulate Sian

-and Don on their recent nuptials.

-I was told to be careful because

-she's a married woman!

-Tell us about the series.

-I started in the Rhondda.

-I spoke to people

-about the famous tunnel...

-..before hearing about the

-Park and Dare Theatre.

-We met Sharon Rhys who has done

-a lot of work in the area.

-There's also been a visit

-to the Cynon Valley...

-..and Lewis Lewis.

-We met people from the

-Royal Opera House.

-I also had an interview

-with Geraint Stanley...

-..about Aberfan.

-It was his last interview

-before his death.

-It was heartwrenching.

-We also went to the Taf Valley.

-I could have also spent ages

-in Merthyr Tydfil.

-In the coming episodes...

-..we visit the areas of Ebbw Vale...

-..and the Llwyd Valley or the

-Eastern Valley.

-Let's see a clip from Sunday's

-edition of Cymoedd Roy.

-At the foot of the valley,

-stands the Guardian mining memorial.

-..in the village of Six Bells

-near Abertillery.

-At over 20-metres-tall,

-the memorial was commissioned...

-..to commemorate

-the Six Bells disaster in June 1960.

-Forty-five miners were killed.

-It's striking and stands on

-the site of the old colliery.

-The tallest mining memorial

-in Wales...

-..is a powerful reminder

-of that tragedy.

-Six Bells is near Abertillery.

-There's also Senghenydd.

-You can hear about that disaster in

-the final episode of the series.

-It was emotional being in Six Bells.

-The disaster was in the 1960s.

-I remember that time.

-I was born in the Rhondda.

-We're both from the

-South Wales Valleys.

-You want viewers to see

-a new part of the Valleys.

-Even the press and media looks

-at the South Wales Valleys...

-..with disdain!

-They think it's full of poverty.

-The South Wales Valleys

-are not like that.

-All the various valleys

-in the area are different.

-It's amazing to see the South Wales

-Valleys from the sky.

-The countryside is amazing.

-The journey from Blaenavon

-to Cymsychant is incredible.

-This series is perfect for you.

-Yes, this series is perfect for me.

-I ride the trike.

-I wanted a bandana

-but it wasn't possible!

-I met people who fly the flag for

-the South Wales Valleys.

-We meet people who have done

-so much for the areas.

-Sarah Evans has studied in Oxford

-and has moved back.

-It would be nice to have a series

-on the West Wales Valleys.

-This series looks at the South-East

-Valleys.

-I'd like to show other parts.

-Thank you, Roy.

-The damp and varying temperature of

-our weather plays havoc with pianos.

-This means it's a busy time

-for the piano tuner, Gerallt Lewis.

-Heledd Gwyndaf

-has been to see him at work.

-Gerallt has tuned pianos since...

-well, he's always done it.

-It stems from his childhood.

-I loved singing and enjoyed sitting

-at a piano to compose.

-Do you read music?

-No, I did start

-but after two lessons...

-..my piano teacher told Dad I played

-the piece but ignored the score.

-And do you still play by ear?

-And do you still play by ear?

-

-Yes, that's right.

-Let's see the piano

-at Llanerchaeron.

-Gerallt sees all sorts of pianos and

-he'll introduce us to a few of them.

-GERALLT PLAYS A SCALE

-It's an old piano

-that dates back to 1891.

-What's it like to tune?

-The age of the piano has to be taken

-into consideration...

-..so it has to be tuned

-to a specific key-note.

-Many years ago,

-one of the pins split in two.

-As a result, the piano has to be

-tuned to the pitch of that note.

-Which note is it?

-Which note is it?

-

-Let's see.

-I think it's that one.

-This piano is quite fragile so let's

-see you working on another piano.

-That's a good idea.

-I suspect this piano is younger and

-used more often than the last one.

-This was the main piano on the stage

-at Theatr Felinfach...

-..which was also used

-by the community.

-Pianos go out of tune with a change

-in climate and temperature...

-..so how does Gerallt

-tune the piano?

-It's a traditional method.

-Tape is weaved between

-the three strings of each note.

-I strike my knee with a tuning fork

-for Middle C.

-TUNING FORK SINGS

-The piano is quite close

-to that sound.

-Next, I do the scale of the tuner.

-This has to be right or the rest

-of the piano will be out of tune.

-Once that scale is in tune...

-..we can ascend the piano

-and descend to the lower notes.

-It sounds complicated so it's lucky

-we have Gerallt and his sharp ears.

-Mervina is an experienced

-piano teacher who relies on Gerallt.

-You've taught many generations

-in the area to play the piano.

-Yes, I've been doing it

-for 50 years.

-Your family also teaches and plays.

-My daughter helps with the teaching

-and my granddaughter is learning.

-Is it important to have a piano

-that's in tune?

-It has to be in tune for exams.

-Gerallt is the man who does it.

-Gerallt is the man who does it.

-

-Yes, that's my job.

-It's a huge responsibility

-but Gerallt does a whole lot more.

-There's evenings of entertainment,

-Cor Cymru and similar competitions.

-In those situations, the adrenalin

-takes hold and you lose yourself.

-Gerallt loves pianos and the keys

-and their owners love him too!

-It takes a lot of talent

-to tune a piano.

-After the break, Efa Mared Edwards

-opens the covers of our Book Club.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's time to open the covers

-of our Book Club...

-..with the author,

-Efa Mared Edwards.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Efa joins us to discuss her latest

-Welsh-language adaptation...

-..called Meistres y Bwa Hir.

-Meistres y Bwa Hir

-is a Welsh-language adaptation...

-..of a novel by Linda Davies

-called The Longbow Girl.

-The novel tells the story

-of Mari Owen.

-The novel is set

-in the Brecon Beacons...

-..where the original author,

-Linda Davies, was raised.

-Very few Welsh stories have been

-based in the Brecon Beacons.

-How did you become a part

-of this project?

-I've been working over the summer...

-..for a printing company.

-I've done some translation work

-for the company...

-..and translated two books.

-This is the first book

-by Linda Davies...

-..that has been translated

-into Welsh.

-Did you meet the author?

-I met Linda at the launch

-in Cardiff in November.

-The book is an adaptation.

-Did Linda give you any guidelines?

-I could change a few names...

-..but Linda didn't want me to change

-the name of the horse...

-..as it was the name

-of the author's own horse.

-The author was raised in

-the Brecon Beacons.

-This book is based

-in the Brecon Beacons...

-..and Linda was raised there.

-I've only driven through the area.

-The novel tells the story

-of Mari Owen.

-Mari Owen is a beautiful girl.

-I think she's similar to the lead

-role in The Hunger Games.

-The original title was

-The Longbow Girl.

-I think it sounds better in Welsh...

-..as Meistres y Bwa Hir.

-Were you aware that you were

-adapting a Welsh story?

-Yes, and it contains a lot of

-references to the Mabinogion.

-Your father was involved

-in the book too.

-Dad has edited the book for me.

-I have to thank him for that.

-Tell us about your family.

-My brother, Dylan, won the

-Crown at the Urdd Eisteddfod.

-My parents both work in literature.

-I'm studying for an MA in Cardiff

-at the moment...

-..in Celtic Studies.

-I hope this can help

-some of my studies.

-I don't know what I'll do next.

-I'd love to do something with

-children's literature.

-I'd like to write things of my own.

-Meistres y Bwa Hir is published

-by Atebol and is on sale for 6.99.

-Good luck with the book.

-We hope to chat to you again.

-After the break, Sian Thomas

-chats about a new scheme...

-..to overcome the deterioration

-in children's teeth.

-Glen looks at the variety of radios

-that are on the market.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-A new report states that children's

-teeth in Wales has deteriorated.

-It's so serious that the government

-has launched a campaign...

-..to encourage children to think

-about their teeth and oral hygiene.

-We're joined in the studio

-by another Sian Thomas.

-She co-ordinates the Designed

-to Smile scheme in Llanelli.

-Welcome to the programme, Sian.

-How serious is this problem?

-The problem is terrible.

-The government scheme

-wants to encourage children...

-..to clean and care for their teeth.

-This doesn't need to happen.

-We can stop it from happening.

-Unfortunately,

-parents don't help the children.

-The scheme helps the children

-to brush their teeth in school.

-They have this scheme

-in every school.

-Children's teeth are rotting.

-Snacks with a lot of sugar

-are the problem.

-Parents buy snacks for children

-and they contain a lot of sugar.

-This next table proves a point.

-Parents are shocked

-when they see this table

-Children like to have trendy drinks.

-The table helps you to see how much

-sugar is in each of these products.

-There's more sugar in a milkshake

-than in the other drinks.

-We don't know what our drinks

-or food contains.

-There's a lot more sugar

-in the milkshake than in the coke.

-Milk and water are the only

-safe drinks for children.

-Those drinks are safe for the teeth.

-People would choose a milkshake...

-..and think that it contains

-less sugar than coke.

-Parents buy raisins and believe

-these are a healthy option...

-..but raisins contain

-a lot of sugar.

-Children are going to eat sugar.

-If they can choose something healthy

-between meals...

-..it would help the children.

-You must make sure that the only

-sugar given is during meal times.

-People tend to think

-that this scheme...

-..is only for the first set

-of teeth or milk teeth.

-When a child is six, this is

-when they get their adult teeth.

-It can be incredibly difficult to

-get a child to brush their teeth.

-You have until 3.00pm

-to enter our competition...

-..to win a pair of tickets

-to the Wales v Scotland match..

-..at the Principality Stadium

-in Cardiff on Saturday.

-All you have to do

-is answer this simple question:

-What is the traditional dish

-of Scotland?

-1) cawl, 2) curry, or 3) haggis?

-Call us with your answer

-on 08443 35 12 44.

-It's 5p a minute plus your telephone

-company's network access charge.

-The phone lines

-close at 3.00pm today.

-Entrants must be 18 and over.

-Don't call after the lines close

-or you will still be charged.

-Full terms and conditions

-can be found at www.prynhawnda.tv

-Good luck to you all!

-You could be going to that game.

-It's World Radio Day on Saturday...

-..and Glen Bartlett has been looking

-at the best digital radios for us.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-You work in the radio world.

-Yes, I work on the radio.

-I have a programme

-on a community radio in Swansea.

-You need a radio to listen to me.

-I was surprised as to how many

-radios are available.

-The boombox has come back

-into fashion recently.

-It's possible that 2016

-is the radio of year.

-The Groov-e Boombox is from Tesco

-and costs 30.

-There are better quality

-sound radios on the market.

-If you want something

-that will remind you of the 1990s...

-..the boombox is the way to go.

-This next radio is a Frozen radio.

-If you have a child

-who would like a character on it...

-..this is great.

-The Lexibook Radio and CD player

-is 29.25 from Tesco.

-You can't tune the radio on this,

-but you can play CDs on it.

-This is a great gift.

-The Roberts Splash! radio

-is by Panasonic and costs 99.99.

-Roberts

-has a fantastic sound quality.

-They have now released

-waterproof radios.

-You can put them in the shower.

-You can dance away

-while having a shower.

-I'm in the shower for a long time.

-You could use it by the pool

-on holiday.

-This is expensive at 99.

-The next one is made from cardboard.

-Yes, this is an eco-friendly radio.

-Everything has been recycled

-to create this radio.

-This is a novelty radio.

-You couldn't take this near water.

-This is cool,

-but is expensive at 24.99.

-The pocket radio

-is from Tesco and costs 5.

-When you listen to music

-on your phone, you can lose signal.

-However, this won't lose signal

-once you tune it.

-If you have a certain colour room,

-these are great.

-They look great.

-These aren't stereo radios

-and the sound won't fill the room.

-If you want to wake in the morning

-to an alarm clock...

-Valentine's Day is on the horizon...

-..and after the break, Alison looks

-at the foods that are aphrodisiacs.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's Valentine's Day on Sunday...

-..so the Welsh get another chance

-to celebrate their love...

-..after the recent St Dwynwen's Day.

-You can add a touch of spark

-to your lives on Sunday...

-..with some foods

-that are aphrodisiacs.

-Alison Huw joins us to tell us more.

-There's a lot of red in the studio.

-As Valentine's Day falls on a

-Sunday, why not make a day of it?

-Today, I'm looking at aphrodisiacs

-to stimulate the senses.

-Some of these foods

-have special chemicals.

-Some also have special shapes!

-This is my kitchen every day

-after the wedding!

-There's a theme

-which is raised in these foods.

-Many of the foods raise the blood.

-You could start the day with

-a breakfast including asparagus.

-The shape of asparagus

-is also very suggestive!

-Eggs are also a good

-source of vitamin B...

-..which is good for the nerves

-and the libido.

-Combine a soft boiled egg and use

-the boiled asparagus...

-..to drop the egg yolk into your

-partner's mouth.

-The power of a pomegranate

-is good for the veins.

-Many of these foods

-are good for health and the blood...

-..and increase sensitivity.

-Pomegranate is mentioned in the Old

-Testament on more than one occasion.

-Many believe pomegranate was used by

-Eve to tempt Adam.

-For lunch, you could serve

-a avocado and prawn salad.

-You could also serve a salmon and

-avocado salad.

-The omega 3 oil in the salad is

-extremely important.

-Why not serve a watermelon martini

-for lunch?

-Would you like to taste it?

-I haven't added anything else

-to this.

-The chemical is thought to be

-a natural viagra.

-For a snack, you could have banana

-and almonds.

-Bananas are full of potassium and

-energy.

-Pumpkin seeds and pine nuts

-are a fantastic source of zinc.

-I can't see that these would ignite

-the imagination as much.

-Next, we move on to the supper.

-You should start the meal

-with a dozen oysters.

-Oysters are high in zinc and they

-include the dopamine hormone...

-..which increases sexual cravings.

-Endorphins raises spirits.

-Champagne is great for raising

-female spirits...

-..and for raising a smile.

-Dom Perignon created the drink and

-compared it to tasting the stars.

-Next, we have garlic.

-If you both eat garlic, you don't

-have to worry about bad breath.

-Garlic is a different type of

-aphrodisiac.

-Valentine's Day wouldn't be complete

-without any chocolate.

-Dark chocolate is best as it has

-many chemicals to make us feel good.

-Make sure chocolate, a cake or a

-pudding is part of the meal.

-Many of us turn to chocolate

-when we're feeling down.

-I've made some special

-chocolate lollipops.

-You could add nuts or seeds to them.

-Thank you, Alison.
