-Shwmae! -I'm Sion Tomos Owen, a Rhondda boy. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
-I love it here. It's full of -possibilities for artists like me. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:12 | |
-I always look for different ways -of portraying the valley in my work. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
-During the series, I'll speak -to lots of interesting people. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
-I'll paint pictures reflecting -what the valley is really like. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
-I'll put them together -to create a large new map... | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
-..of the lives -of the Rhondda people. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
-I'm above Cwmparc, one of -the Rhondda's most famous views. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
-This will be my biggest challenge -of the series so far. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
-Looking at the weather, I'm not sure -I'll be able to start... | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
-..let alone finish! | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
-We're on top of Bwlch... | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
-..on a cold and windy day. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
-But, we've got this view. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
-As nature -is the theme of this mural... | 0:01:26 | 0:01:31 | |
-..that's why I'm painting it -in the open air. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
-It's nature at its best. -Or worst, I'm not sure! | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
-Let's see how long we can stay here. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
-Many artists -have painted the Rhondda, of course. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
-But only a few have captured -the valley's spirit in their work. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
-Elwyn Thomas -is certainly one of those. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
-He's a great artist who knows the -valley like the back of his hand. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
-Mr Thomas. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
-Mr Thomas. - -Hello. Welcome to Rhiwlas. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
-Thank you. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
-Thank you. - -Nice to see you. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
-Come in. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:36 | |
-Thank you for letting us... | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-..not just into your home -but into your gallery. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
-Gallery! | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
-It's an honour for me to be here... | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
-..because you're a hero of mine -for the work you've done. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-A lot of your paintings -are of Rhondda Fach. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
-Is that where you're from? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
-I used to live in Tylorstown -in Rhondda Fach. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-There's something about -Rhondda Fach... | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
-..that's different to Rhondda Fawr. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-It's more interesting to paint. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
-This painting of Wattstown -is interesting. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
-Is it opposite the tip, -where you look down on Wattstown? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
-Yes. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
-Do you sketch for a long time? | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
-I prepare lots of details... | 0:03:28 | 0:03:33 | |
-..for every part of the painting. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
-It's the way I've worked for years. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:45 | |
-I use a sketchbook. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
-My brother and my mother -were very interested in painting. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:59 | |
-We used to work together -in the house. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:04 | |
-That's the reason -why I'm very interested in painting. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:10 | |
-You went to school in Ferndale... | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
-..and then studied art in college. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
-I was interested -in working as a draughtsman... | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
-..but the required -mathematical skills was very high... | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
-..so the headmaster -asked whether I was interested... | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
-..in doing a course -at the art college in Cardiff. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
-After graduating, -he became a teacher in Kent... | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
-..before returning to the Rhondda... | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
-..where he became head of art at -Ferndale Grammar School until 1987. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
-After retirement, -I concentrated fully on painting. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:53 | |
-Since you retired? | 0:04:53 | 0:04:54 | |
-Since you retired? - -Since I retired. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
-Thank you for retiring then -because you've given us these! | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
-I feel happy and comfortable... | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
-..to have pictures around the house. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
-I sit down and look at the pictures. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:13 | |
-I only paint occasionally now. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
-It makes me relaxed and I enjoy it. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
-Elwyn's work -has inspired people for years. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
-I believe that all types of art... | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
-..should be available to the public, -free of charge. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
-When you come into the Rhondda -from Pontypridd... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
-..one of the first things you'll see -is this sculpture near Trehafod. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
-Ann Catrin Evans is the artist. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
-She made the sculpture -from one iron girder split in two. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
-I love this sculpture. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
-It's no coincidence -we're here in the rain. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
-Cymmer is the name of the sculpture. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
-It's the confluence -of two steel rivers. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
-It's perfect for the valley. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:09 | |
-At the bottom are the words -to the hymn Cwm Rhondda. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
-We all know how that goes. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
-SION HUMS CWM RHONDDA | 0:06:16 | 0:06:17 | |
-Tonypandy, -a few miles up the valley... | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-..is the location -for the next artwork. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-It's a more traditional depiction -of the Rhondda. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-Robert Thomas from Cwmparc made this -sculpture of a collier's family. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
-Without a doubt, this is Robert -Thomas' most famous sculpture. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
-I have a personal connection to him. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
-Thomas Gruar, my brother-in-law, -was the model for the baby up there. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:56 | |
-He's changed! | 0:06:58 | 0:06:59 | |
-There's plenty to inspire me -as an artist in the valley. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
-But what inspires -the Rhondda's young artists? | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
-Where better to ask the question -than Ysgol y Cymer... | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-..where I studied art -almost 15 years ago. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
-Hello! | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
-Mr Sion Tomos Owen, how are you? | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
-Good, thanks. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:38 | |
-It's changed in here! | 0:07:39 | 0:07:40 | |
-It's changed in here! - -It's changed a lot. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:41 | |
-It's colourful. Bolder. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
-It's just been redecorated. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
-You're sitting with the pupils. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-With the sixth form, it's easier -to just sit with the pupils. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:53 | |
-It's easier for me -to give my input... | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
-..because everyone's -working on a different theme. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
-It's nice -because they can experiment more... | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
-..and find their forte so to speak. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
-They can go further after school. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
-They go to school in the Valleys... | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
-..so are there elements -of the Valleys in their work? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
-Of course. I take the pupils out. -There's great scenery nearby. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
-The pupils seem to think, -"I just live in the Valleys." | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
-I try to open their minds -to what's around them. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
-They then think they can use where -they live to develop their work. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
-Joseph, you're not painting -using conventional methods. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
-No, coffee. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:40 | |
-Coffee? I've never seen anyone -use coffee before. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
-It's experimental. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:45 | |
-It's a life study using different -techniques, such as using coffee. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
-It leaves a nice tone. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
-As it dries, it spreads out. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
-It's great. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:56 | |
-Do you use coffee too -or just normal paint? | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
-Well, it depends! | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
-I usually use acrylic paint. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
-I'm using watercolours today. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
-I've heard you did that. -What shall we call it, a piece? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
-Monstrosity! | 0:09:10 | 0:09:11 | |
-Monstrosity! | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
-We've named her Dalia. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
-She has her own personality, -bless her! | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
-Where did you get the inspiration? | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
-In AS, we were given natural forms -as inspiration. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
-I looked at trees - their form -and how they grow. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
-I looked into people too. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
-It's some sort of commentary -on people within nature. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
-We're still a part of nature -but we don't realize it. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
-Seren, you're doing some textiles. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
-I'm focusing on structure. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
-I've been looking at skeletons. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
-I usually make things -like that piece over there. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
-You did that. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
-You did that. - -Yes, by hand. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:58 | |
-I sewed... | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
-All of it? | 0:10:01 | 0:10:02 | |
-All of it? - -Yes, and all the embroidery. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
-How long did it take? | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
-Between six weeks and two months. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
-I stitched the Welsh flag -and that took me ages. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:14 | |
-But this is a lot more detailed. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:15 | |
-But this is a lot more detailed. - -It took a lot of time. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
-This is a top - -something fashionable. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
-Is that what you hope to do? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:22 | |
-I want to do textiles -and make pieces of clothing... | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
-..rather than -the designing and sketching part. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-Coffee, trees, clothing? | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
-Goodness me, things have changed -since I was in school! | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
-That's evident -in the exhibition room. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
-They're doing more creative work -with materials. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
-There's an element -of making clothes... | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
-..though it doesn't -have to be clothes. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
-That's a chunky book! | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
-There are lots of materials. -Lots of burning, stitching. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
-It looks like -there's a lot of experimenting. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
-A lot of experimenting early on -in the project and less sketching. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
-The other change -is the developments in technology. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
-You can see children -coming through... | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
-..with the ability -to put their work on the Web. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
-They're making films -and working with digital software. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:23 | |
-A few sixth formers -have made short stop-motion films. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
-I get them to work with music... | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
-..and different stills -to bring photography work in. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
-Things have changed with -the development of this software... | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
-..and with apps on the phones, -things like Instagram. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:45 | |
-They're using these things -to develop the project. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:50 | |
-They might not end up -doing photography... | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
-..they might want to paint. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
-You're the only teacher who lets -children play on their phones! | 0:11:55 | 0:12:00 | |
-With a few rules! | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
-There'll be more art of all types -after the break. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
-I'll visit the grave of one -of the Rhondda's famous people... | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
-..through this hole... | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
-..I'll launch my first book -and I'll recite some poetry. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
-"Do you know Tom Jones?" | 0:12:21 | 0:12:22 | |
-"Yeah. Whoa! Huh!" | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |

-The picture looks better -than I thought it would... | 0:12:51 | 0:12:56 | |
-..despite the shaking - not just me -but because of the wind too. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:01 | |
-In this picture is a mixture -of different elements of nature. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
-There are sheep, obviously, -and Highland cattle from Fforch... | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |

-I'm determined to finish, -even if I turn into a block of ice! | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
-I've started -so nothing's going to stop me. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |

-Whenever this house -comes to my mind... | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
-..I say, -"You've got to see this house." | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
-The Habitat house. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:27 | |
-The Habitat house. - -No, because of the art. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:28 | |

-It made me feel artistic. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
-It influences you. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:48 | |
-Does this house influence you? -As I said, it's like a gallery. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |

-..there were teachers -who didn't want to teach... | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
-..and pupils -who didn't want to learn. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
-You know what I'm talking about. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
-I remember you having trouble... | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
-..because our teacher -was a digital artist. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |

-I found it very hard. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:38 | |
-I remember -you getting very frustrated. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
-As Photoshop was quite new, -we were forced to do it. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
-I was trying to paint and he was -saying, "Put it on the computer." | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
-Photoshop! | 0:15:49 | 0:15:50 | |
-Photoshop! - -We did a lot like that. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:51 | |
-It's brilliant now because -we know how to use Photoshop. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
-At the time, both of us -were busting to do traditional art. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
-What I didn't know was that Hywel -had a surprise for me. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
-Do you remember this picture? | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
-This is the one -from the other house. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
-This is what inspired -the map in the first series. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
-Tom Hutchinson. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
-That's why here -is so good for sketching. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
-Everyone knows about the landscape -and so on. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
-But in work by artists like -Elwyn, Zobole and Charlie Burton... | 0:16:25 | 0:16:31 | |
-..it's the houses along with the -landscape that make the difference. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:36 | |
-Terraces, bridges and the tips. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
-The landscape, where you come from, -is in your blood. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:46 | |
-With the map I'm doing, -I had to go out again... | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
-..as I'd forgotten -how good the landscape was. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
-When you look at the artists' work, -they all like the lines. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:59 | |
-The wavy lines. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
-If you look out the window, -that's what you see. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
-You're on the top of the valley -looking down. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
-It's all just jagged lines -and curves. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
-It does influence you. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
-What's really odd is being in -this house when there's no music on. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
-I think of this house -as the place where the band started. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
-That's how it was. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
-It's where we made it all. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
-This was the Pine Barons' house. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
-Pine Barons! | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
-Come on then. Off we go. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
-Here we are, -the Pine Barons in our prime. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
-Hywel, Kyle, Neil and me. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-The Rhondda Fab Four. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
-I'm off to Ferndale next -to see more art. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
-This sculpture was made by pupils -from the local primary schools... | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
-..Llyn y Forwyn and Darran Park. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
-This is what the village is like -according to the children. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
-A place full of interesting -buildings and funny characters. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
-It's great that the children -get to create art... | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
-..which is then -put on public display. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
-Some of you may know... | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
-..that Guto Nyth Bran is buried -at Llanwonno church cemetery. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
-But not many know about this -sculpture which commemorates him. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
-Rebecca Buck, an American artist... | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
-..made the sculpture -out of clay bricks from the area. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
-There's no picture of Guto -on the stone... | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
-..but Celtic legends -do feature on it. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-There's also a hole in the middle. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
-If you look through the hole... | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
-..you'll see Guto Nyth Bran's grave -in the church cemetery. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
-As well as painting and cartooning, -I also write. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
-I'm about to publish my first book. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
-The title of the book is Cawl... | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
-..because cawl -is a mixture of ingredients. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
-There are 12 poems. -One's a long poem. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
-I wrote some in Welsh, -some in English. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
-There's a graphic novel, -28 cartoons... | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
-..eight short stories -and two essays. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
-I wanted it to seem like... | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
-..lots of people -had contributed to the book... | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
-..but it's actually one author. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
-I haven't seen -a book like it before. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
-I wanted to do something that's -different to anything I've read. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
-It's not only the contents -that's different. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
-Everyone who pre-ordered the book -gets a personalized bookmark... | 0:20:03 | 0:20:08 | |
-..a cawl recipe... | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-..and an invitation to the launch -night at Treorchy rugby club. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
-Shaking hands! | 0:20:21 | 0:20:22 | |
-Congratulations. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:25 | |
-Congratulations. - -I haven't seen you in ages. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
-It's odd to see it in a book -that other people can buy in shops. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:36 | |
-But to see other people read it -is a blush moment, I suppose. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:42 | |
-I'm not boasting -but I'm chuffed with it. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
-It's nice to see it as a book -and not as a Dropbox file. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
-I've matched my T-shirt -to the cover as well. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
-Since we're in the clubhouse, I -thought I'd read from a short story. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
-BABY CRIES | 0:20:59 | 0:21:00 | |
-Who brought that baby?! | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
-Who brought that noisy baby?! | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
-"A language that's a part -not a language that's forced | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
-"The language of grandchildren -and grandparents | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-"Not a grey language, -but food and blood and feet | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
-"To walk out of conquest -on a battling journey | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
-"Saving a nation -while being parochial | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
-"A crown was lost -but the language prevails | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
-"Almost 500 years -since the Word was translated | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
-"We're still bound -to the same masters" | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
-Thank you very much. You're my hero. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
-I love the orange. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:43 | |
-What's the orange about? | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
-The first 200 -are limited edition orange colours. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
-The rest are normal. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:49 | |
-The rest are normal. - -That's why you're wearing that! | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
-How to project the country -next to England. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
-"Where are you from?" | 0:21:55 | 0:21:56 | |
-"Wales. Do you know Tom Jones?" | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
-"Yeah. Woah! Huh!" | 0:21:59 | 0:22:00 | |
-"That's it. Where he's from." | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
-"California?" | 0:22:03 | 0:22:04 | |
-"No. Wales. Catherine Zeta-Jones. -Anthony Hopkins. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
-"Where they're from." | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
-"Sir, they're from California." | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
-"No, they're from Treforest, Swansea -and Margam." | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
-It was hopeless. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:16 | |
-Well done. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:18 | |
-Well done. - -What for? | 0:22:18 | 0:22:19 | |
-For writing a book... | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
-..with a lot of swearing in it! | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
-Yes, lots of swearing. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:24 | |
-This is a contemporary map -of the Rhondda. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
-Wind turbines -are now a part of the landscape. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
-Though nature is present... | 0:22:40 | 0:22:41 | |
-..the purpose of the wind turbines -is so we don't use fossil fuels. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
-It's ironic, because it's coal -that created the valley. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:51 | |
-I'm pleased with that. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
-Ha-ha! I've done it! | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
-Cut! | 0:23:11 | 0:23:12 | |
