0:02:09 > 0:02:11- We're at Leckwith athletics stadium.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- When did you start throwing?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- When I was about 14 or 15...
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- ..at the local athletics club - in Clydach in the Rhondda.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Did you do a lot of sport at school?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Did you do a lot of sport at school?- - Yes, I played hockey and netball.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- My older sister did athletics - so I had to as well!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Everything she did, - I had to have a go too.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- She started to throw the hammer...
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- ..which had only just - become a women's event.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- There wasn't a hammer event before.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Something clicked with the hammer. - I really enjoyed it.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Within a couple of months, - I'd competed for Welsh Schools.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- It was that fast.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Do you have to be big and strong - to throw it?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- There are different types - of throwers.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Some are big, - and they rely on strength.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Others are smaller.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- We have to rely more - on technique, speed and agility.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- So you were quite small - when you started throwing for Wales.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26- Yes.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- I was about nine stone!
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- I remember - when I first competed for Britain...
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- ..I went to fetch my kit.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42- The people giving them out asked - if I was a middle distance runner.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- I was a bit embarrassed.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- What's a typical week - for a hammer thrower?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- We usually train six times a week.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- We try to throw every day.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- We might do weights three times - a week as well as work on fitness.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- It's quite a full week.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Is it hard to attract young people - into the sport?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- It's quite hard, - especially throwing events.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- It's very hard - to attract people to do them.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- I don't think it's shown enough - on television and so on.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- It would be nice - if it got more attention.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Hammer away. Step through. - Through. Through.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Emily, you're from the Rhondda too, - from Ynyswen.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- I live in Ynyswen. I went to - Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Ynyswen.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40- How old were you when you started?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- How old were you when you started?- - I started in 2010, when I was 11.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44- I just started...
0:04:44 > 0:04:45- I just started...- - Doing the hammer?!
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- I didn't think anyone that young - would start throwing the hammer.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Some people - think you have to be strong...
0:04:53 > 0:04:58- ..but I'm five foot three, you know!
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- When I came down, I expected - to see big people hefting things.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08- But you're quick - when you do the turns.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14- Strength does come into it, - but Carys emphasises technique.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Technique, technique.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- In the first three sessions...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- ..I didn't let the hammer go.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- It didn't land.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- I just turned and turned.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- When I was comfortable, she said, - "Right, now you're going to throw."
0:05:31 > 0:05:32- Right down.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Down, down, down.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- To throw it well and to throw it far - can be hard.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40- It's quite technical.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- There are many bits - you have to get right to throw far.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- As a beginner, - you can just stand up...
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- ..swing the hammer round your head - and let go.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57- I'm not very technical but I've - thrown the javelin and the discus.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Can I have a go - at throwing the hammer?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Yes. I don't see why not.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Maybe it's best - if you just stand up and throw it!
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- And maybe I'll get you to throw - the women's weight.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Is that OK?
0:06:14 > 0:06:15- That's fine.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- The men's hammer is massive.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- So, stand inside the circle...
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- ..with your back facing the field.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28- Right.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- You're going to throw like this.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Start with the hammer - just behind you.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- It goes in your left hand...
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- ..then your right hand - goes over the top.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41- OK?
0:06:42 > 0:06:43- All you're going to do...
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- ..is swing it around your head - a couple of times...
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- ..three times, and let go.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53- Over there.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Does the left hand let go last?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Both together. Yeah?
0:06:59 > 0:07:00- I let go...
0:07:00 > 0:07:01- I let go...- - Upwards, like this.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04- Good luck.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05- Good luck.- - Thanks!
0:07:06 > 0:07:07- I'm going out there now!
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Try again.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Picking it up would make it easier.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20- Like this?
0:07:20 > 0:07:21- Like this?- - Yes.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- When you're ready, let it go.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25- Yeah!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- I might sign you up!
0:07:28 > 0:07:29- Are you available?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Are you available?- - Go on, might as well. Why not!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- That was really good. - Straight down the middle too.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- I expected it to go over there!
0:07:41 > 0:07:42- Fluke.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43- Fluke.- - Must've been!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- I want another go.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- This place changes all the time.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- You sometimes need an outside eye...
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- ..to see the significance - of these changes.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Dramatist Ian Rowlands - was born here in Porth.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- He's written widely - about the valley.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- Ian, welcome back - to the steep roads in the valley.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- I used to walk down here - to catch the school bus.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- My school bus used to go up here.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- We're like this!
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- You went to Ysgol y Cymer.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- I went to Rhydfelen.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- So I left the valley - in order to go to school.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- In your time, - the school was in the valley.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- This was a launch pad - to go to another valley!
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Have you always lived in the area?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32- Have you always lived in the area?- - I was raised here.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- Birchgrove is over there.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- I lived there until I was nine.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Then I moved to this side - of the valley, to Glynfach.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- I lived there until I was 18.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- So I lived in Porth - when I was growing up.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48- Are your family from Porth?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Are your family from Porth?- - My parents still live here.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- My brother lives in Hollybush, - on the other side of the valley.
0:08:55 > 0:08:55- They can look at each other.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- They can look at each other.- - Porth is close to you then.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59- As you're back, fancy a pint?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- As you're back, fancy a pint?- - Yes. Let's go to the Colliers.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Can I have a pint of Glamorgan - please?
0:09:11 > 0:09:11- And...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- And...- - Tea, please.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- That's new. - I haven't seen that before.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- It's different to what - I'm trying to do with the murals.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- They're our heritage. - We can't escape them.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Rugby, the Welsh costume - and coal miners...
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- ..represent something to - non-Welsh speakers in the Valleys.
0:09:36 > 0:09:42- They're powerful because - they represent sacrifice and unity.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- They're close to people's hearts - here.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- It's said about the Valleys - that Welsh is still spoken here...
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- ..but through the medium of English.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- For example, - my mother's syntax is Welsh.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02- Yet, English is spoken - using Welsh syntax.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- The cliched example - is 'look you, good boy'.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- 'How be' instead of 'shwmae'.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09- 'How be' instead of 'shwmae'.- - Yes.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Welsh is still alive here.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- My mother uses words like didoreth - (unproductive).
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- There are traces and patterns - of Welsh still here...
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- ..but we've lost the language - and the sound of the language.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24- I now live in Carmarthen.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- I come here with my children.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- We go to the park - 200 yards down the hill.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36- One time, two or three children just - stood there listening to my son.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41- He was about three and I was pushing - him on the swing back and forth.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Everyone just stood there.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- After a while, they came over to us - and said, "We speak Welsh too."
0:10:47 > 0:10:52- They realized that Welsh - was alive outside the school walls.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- It was a big realization.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- I went through a similar journey.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58- When I lived here...
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- ..1%-2% of Valleys children - received Welsh-medium education.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- It's now about a third - 32%-33%.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11- So Welsh for the majority of people - was something very exotic.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- We were the Welshie Welsh.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- I was excluded to an extent.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- I didn't feel part of this - community despite being raised here.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- The Welsh language was a gift.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Through attending a Welsh school, - Welsh was a gift.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- But I didn't have a context for it - so I had to leave.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- I had to normalize Welsh - in my own personal experience.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- The Welsh Government wants there to - be a million Welsh speakers by 2050.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- A lot of those - will come from the Valleys.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- This is where - the bulk of the population is.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- If there is to be one million, - most will be in South Wales.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- The Valleys - will never be monoglot Welsh...
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- ..but do you think it'll become - more naturally bilingual?
0:11:55 > 0:11:56- I hope...
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- It's maybe because they know me - as a person who speaks Welsh...
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- ..but when I was in a shop...
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- ..a mother came in - who was speaking English.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- She saw me and started - speaking Welsh to her child.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- So we need - more talismans like you...
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- ..for people to have the confidence - to practise their Welsh.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- People do start speaking to me - in Welsh.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- People I thought only spoke English.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29- They tell me they - hadn't spoken Welsh for 30 years...
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- ..and just start speaking Welsh.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- It's like riding a bike.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- I wrote - in Marriage of Convenience...
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- .."an area that had long forgotten - the sound of its own past."
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- We have to grab hold of that sound, - that language, again...
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- ..and ensure - we don't forget it again.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52- Like you say, the sound. Hearing - the language. That's the main thing.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58- In the next part, - Becca and her iron saves my skin...
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- ..singer James Saunders - reveals how he protects his voice...
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- ..and I'll grab my guitar - and step onto the stage.
0:13:09 > 0:13:09- .

0:13:20 > 0:13:23- We're back in Tonypandy market.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- The mural - is all about architecture...
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- ..and different things - that make up the valley...
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- ..in terms of works, buildings - and chapels.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- The chapel here - is the one that's down the road.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44- Social clubs, schools, - terraced houses, sports fields.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- A real mixture.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10- I'm in the doghouse.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- I promised to iron a basketful - of stuff for Becky and for Mam...
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- ..and I haven't done any of it.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Fortunately, - I know someone who can help.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Alright? I have a favour to ask.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- I told my mum I'd iron the caravan - sheets and I haven't done them.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27- Come through.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- This is Becca Kerr. She offers - an ironing service from her home.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- I hope to get tips from her.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Is there a specific way - to iron a shirt?
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- I do the collar, cuffs - then the arms...
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- ..then I do one side, do the back, - and then the other side.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- That's how I do it - but it doesn't look half as good!
0:14:57 > 0:14:58- Maybe it's the iron.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- It can be the iron. - That's the only one I like to use.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- It's a super-duper iron.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- It makes my work easier too.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Do you do anything else - apart from ironing?
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- Yes, I've been a support worker with - autistic people and adolescents.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- I did that for a year and a half.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- Since then, - I've just been doing this.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Do you like doing it? - Some people hate it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- I love ironing. It's relaxing.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- There's something therapeutic - about it.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- I first ironed - was when I was at university.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- I was about 20.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- I got a basket...
0:15:42 > 0:15:47- ..set it up, - put a DVD of Mary Poppins on...
0:15:48 > 0:15:49- ..and sang while I ironed.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- I only had a basketful - and it took two hours!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- The Northwalians - who lived opposite...
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- ..were eating popcorn - while watching me iron!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- They were in the window laughing!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- You've just finished this.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- How would you fold it - if you were giving it back to me?
