0:00:30 > 0:00:34- ..and look back at their - Christmases over the years.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38- There were Satanic periods when - they didn't celebrate Christmas!
0:00:38 > 0:00:42- In the early years, the series - was only shown periodically...
0:00:43 > 0:00:48- ..so there wasn't a specific - episode shown at Christmas.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Which one would you like - to sing first, Mr Thomas?
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- 'I remember being at a party - in Brynawelon.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- 'I was playing the piano. - I don't remember the carol.'

0:01:03 > 0:01:08- # Behold, we had the Messiah... #
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Jacob Ellis was so out of tune.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- It's difficult listening to him - at the best of times!
0:01:14 > 0:01:20- # Friend and redeemer - of humankind. #
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- How is everyone? - It's a lovely morning.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Magi Post wasn't top of people's - Christmas card list.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Maybe that's why she was so angry - with Clem the postman.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- The mail has never been this late.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- I don't want to come back here - after my round at tea time.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- It was a complete pleasure - to work with the people...
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- ..who were in the first series.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Well, look who's here.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- What's this, Mrs Mathias? - Your annual visit? Nice to see you.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- 'People like Rachel Hywel Thomas.'
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- What did you say?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Wishing you a merry Christmas.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Wishing you a merry Christmas.- - Merry? And a Happy New Year too.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Are you alright, Bella?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- 'Harriet Lewis. Those were - two special characters.'
0:02:06 > 0:02:07- They clashed.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Your Auntie Gert had no clue - about money.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- No idea how to run a business.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- No, poor thing. - That's why I'm so poor!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- 'They'd both clash regularly.'
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- It was always a good story.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Did you hear what that woman said?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- The Christmas spirit - alive and well.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Doesn't matter what I eat, - I weigh the same all year.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33- Yes, a fat man.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- The first Christmas I remember - is eating the dinner.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Reg, Megan, Clem, - Gareth Wyn and Rhian.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- You've had enough.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- Leave her alone. - She's a growing girl.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Her backside will grow - if she eats any more.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- 'And then that Christmas - when Reg had his heart attack.'
0:02:54 > 0:02:55- Ah!
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- Megan!
0:02:57 > 0:02:58- Megan.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07- 'We were very close.'
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Hello. Llys Helyg.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12- Barry.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- 'Maybe the story I remember most - is one of the darkest...'
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- ..Pobol y Cwm Christmas storylines.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Hello, Barry.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Just phoning to wish you and Stan - a Merry Christmas.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Merry Christmas to you too, love.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- I remember watching - Doreen and Stan...
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- ..receiving a phone call from - their son, a bad boy of course...
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- ..who had been jailed - for a series of rapes.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- Hey!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- He was experiencing a difficult - time in jail...
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- ..and his mother Doreen - was unaware of this.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- It was a huge shock for me, - like many other viewers...
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- ..that Barry John would - unexpectedly commit suicide.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- I've never watched that episode. - I couldn't put myself through it.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- I remember bumping into Wil Sir - Fon, the director and editor...
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- ..about four months later - in a bar in Cardiff...
0:04:10 > 0:04:11- ..and he went like this.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- With so much going on in Y Deri - every week...
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- ..it would be odd if they didn't - go there at Christmas too.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- There was something in Y Deri - every Christmas.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26- I've come for lunch.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- I've come for lunch.- - We can't have two Santas!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Go home and get changed.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31- Go home and get changed.- - I want my dinner first, Pierce.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33- You tell him, Denzil.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Dressing up and there was a lot - of food there.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Look at the turkey.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- I just want this oven to work!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- Who do you think I am? - Santa Claus?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- But there was no turkey - for Brynawelon.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- I've got some bad news. - It's the turkey.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- We've had a small accident - in the kitchen.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- I'm afraid there won't be - any turkey tomorrow.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57- No turkey?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- No turkey?- - We'll have goose.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- You could put anything in front - of the Joneses.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- We were round the table, - eating turkey, crackers.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07- Genius!
0:05:08 > 0:05:09- Then sleep on the settee.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Then sleep on the settee.- - Making noises.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12- MARK BURPS
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- Pig!
0:05:14 > 0:05:15- Better out than in.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Better out than in.- - Like the bishop said to the...
0:05:18 > 0:05:19- You've upset yourself.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- You've upset yourself.- - No, you've upset me!
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- There was no guarantee of festive - fun in Y Deri every Christmas.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- I remember when Anita had overheard - Dwayne talking about Eira.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- If Mam had listened to me - in the first place...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- ..we wouldn't have - had to go through this hell.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37- How come?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- She would have had an abortion.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- What did you say?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- What did you say?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Suddenly, she explodes.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48- What did you say?!
0:05:49 > 0:05:50- Leave him!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Leave him!- - You probably agree with him.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- 'And she wants to get rid of - everyone from Y Deri.'
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- I want you out now! - And you as well.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Do you hear me? Get out!
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- 'I remember the passion. - I close the door and sink.'
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Out, now!
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Don't do this to me.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- It's your moment. When you read - the script you go, "Yes!"
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Turmoil was never far away - with Anita often central to it.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- But she wasn't the only one.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- She was the one you wanted - all those years.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28- Move, Macs.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Move, Macs.- - Watch that step!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Oh. Too late!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Isn't Pobol y Cwm jolly - at Christmas!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- Have I just walked into - the Twilight Zone?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- You've just told me - you've killed Macs.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Do you remember the fuss - with the three sisters?
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- It was the first time - all three of us got together.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- There's nothing better than - a family scrap at Christmas.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- You won't miss anything if you read - the bullet points on the screen.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08- Seconds away. Round one.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- It was supposed to be respectable - because Eileen was with John.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- I think we'd gone to reconcile...
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- ..because we hadn't seen each other - for so long.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- This was supposed to be a - conciliatory Christmas dinner.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- It was total chaos.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- It just flowed from one person - to the next.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- It was a lot of fun.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- I called you an old slag. - I apologize for that.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Thank you very much.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- A bit late for that.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- The Joneses' family tree - wasn't all tinsel either.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Be straight with me. - What the heck are you doing here?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- I've got every right to be here.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Do you now? To put flowers - on my girlfriend's grave?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Why not?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Dyff was seeing Sharon.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Behind my back, of course.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- All the time Mam thought something - was going on, I said she was mad.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26- 'I found out and then caught - Dyff by Sharon's grave.'
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- I put two and two together.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- The truth always comes out - in the end. Swine.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- 'How long had you been seeing her?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- 'Since she came to live - in the house.'
0:08:39 > 0:08:40- Oh, yes!
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- There was a bit of jumping in and - out of beds. Swapping as it were!
0:08:52 > 0:08:53- See what I want?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- See what I want?- - Do I hear wedding bells?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Ding dong! Upstaging Christmas - by announcing an engagement...
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- ..happens fairly often.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- Of course I'll marry you!
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- We're going to get married - in January on your birthday.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- I don't know what to say.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- I can't wait to be - Mrs Michael Pierce again.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- This certainly is - a merry Christmas.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Plenty of time to celebrate - and regret.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- But if you want to make sure - the corks are popping...
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- ..here are five things - you shouldn't do.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Number five. Don't start a - relationship with a family member.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Ffion. She's your cousin.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Number four. Try not to eat - with your family.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- If you want more, go get them.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- If you want more, go get them.- - Shut up or you'll get a punch.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- Number three. If you're caught - with another woman, don't wear...
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- ..specs on a string.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- Get out of my house - and take her with you!
0:10:00 > 0:10:01- So wrong!
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Number two. Almost as embarrassing - as the specs...
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- ..don't get caught - in a red Ford Escort.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10- Number one. Children...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Number one. Children...- - Watch out!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- ..don't let your parents - play with matches.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Bethan!
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Knocking on windows like a banshee - and joking the house is on fire...
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- ..is unforgiveable. Stop it!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- But if Christmas gets too much...
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- ..let's follow the elderly - to the sun.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- We should have done this years ago.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- There's plenty of time, Margaret, - and the best is yet to come.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- If you have one foot in the grave, - get fantastic deals in the winter.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43- I got married once.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- I got married once.- - So did I.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46- You've been married once?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- You've been married once?- - Once on Christmas Day.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- I've been married three times.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- I've been married three times.- - I was going to say, "Is that all?"
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Gwyneth married Yvonne on Christmas - Day. That was a nice day.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- I'm pleased to announce that - Gwyneth and Yvonne are now married.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Congratulations.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- That's a wedding dress - out of Star Trek!
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- I thought they were ears, - not shoulders!
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Still no sign of Ffion - or Nesta, then?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- It's traditional for the bride - to be late.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22- And the bridesmaid?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- 'When Hywel got married - on Christmas Day...'
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- ..it was predictably a disaster.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- He'd been carrying on - with Ffion's cousin?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Cousin at the time - but a half-sister now.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36- Yes, Nesta.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- If Hywel was treating you - so badly...
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- ..why didn't you refuse to be - a bridesmaid?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Things were complicated.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- Ffion found out Nesta and Hywel - had been seeing each other.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- She kept it a secret, - she didn't tell anyone.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- I want a word with your husband.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Don't you go anywhere near him.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- You're not going to spoil - my wedding.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01- Why would I do that?
0:12:02 > 0:12:03- This doesn't look good.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- You tried your best - when you slept with him.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Bingo!
0:12:09 > 0:12:14- Ffion tells her she knows - they've been sleeping together...
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- ..but Hywel chose her - because he married her.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- Later, Nesta follows Ffion - and tells her...
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- ..maybe he married you - but I'm carrying his baby.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- I'm expecting Hywel's baby.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Ffion can't have children and - that's what she'd love to have.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- That was the biggest knife Nesta - could have stabbed Ffion with.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Ffion turns around and slaps her.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- That took the shine off the tinsel!
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- Just to make things clear, - I'm going to keep it.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- Hywel's spoiled so many Christmases - for women over the years...
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- And hoping for many more - Christmases to come!
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Horrible Christmases - for other women!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- He could be an ambassador - for Relate.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- He isn't the only villain who's - been in the valley over the years.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- How much time have we got?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Merry Christmas.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- What right have you got to say - anything about my baby?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- Before you go and warm the mince - pies, here's a quick question.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- Who kidnapped Karen over Christmas - in 2000?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- You'll get the answer - after the break.
0:13:31 > 0:13:31- .

0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Merry Christmas.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- It wasn't the happiest Christmas, - I imagine.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58- He prepares the most sinister - Christmas dinner.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- She found the mobile phone.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- But unfortunately he came in - and saw her trying to escape.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- What are you doing?
0:14:09 > 0:14:14- At one time we've all made - the same mistake as Dr Geraint...
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- ..when he was talking to Karen.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- Geraint, please don't.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20- Geraint, please don't.- - What are you doing?!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- There he was, - spitting his hatred...
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- You're impossible to trust!
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- ..while still wearing - his paper hat.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31- Epic fail.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33- Shall we start?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- There's room for tears - and laughs in Cwmderi.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Sometimes you need more - than a paper crown.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Christmas was a time for the cast - to dress up.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53- It's different for me.
