0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Tell me, how many of you - drove here tonight?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Isn't petrol expensive?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- How much is petrol? 1 per litre?
0:03:47 > 0:03:52- Have you noticed the difference - in the way men and women do things?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Even putting petrol in the car.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- You watch, next time. Here's a - woman, putting petrol in the car.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- She gets out of the car, - shuts the door.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- To the pump...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- ..pssss.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13- Phut!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Men, putting petrol in the car.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Brum, phut, phut.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- PSSSSSSSSSS!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Driving's dangerous - when the weather suddenly changes.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- I was driving on the A55. - It passes near here, doesn't it?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- There was a terrible fog - - you couldn't see your nose. Serious!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- And you know how it is...
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- ..you see a red light on the car - in front and you follow it.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- I was right on its bumper - for about six miles.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- The next moment it stopped. Bang!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- I went bang...
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- ..into its backend. - Well, I was angry!
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- I got out and asked, - 'What are you doing, you idiot?
0:05:10 > 0:05:15- 'I've been following you in this - fog. Why did you stop so suddenly?'
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- 'I had to,' he replied.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- 'I'm back home - in my garage.'
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Any doctors here?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Anyone ill?
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- Have you tried getting - a doctor's appointment recently?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- Good heavens! I hope you have better - luck than me, there's a long wait.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- I phoned last week, - feeling poorly with a cold.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- 'Can I make an appointment, please?'
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- 'Yes, three weeks Monday,' she said.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- 'What if I die before that?' said I.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- 'Get someone to cancel - the appointment,' she said.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07- A woman with a baby went in before - me. The baby's nappies were dirty.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09- Ugh!
0:06:10 > 0:06:11- You know her?
0:06:12 > 0:06:13- What a smell.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- The doctor asked her, 'Is the baby - bottle-fed or naturally fed?'
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- The woman replied, - 'He's fed naturally.'
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- The doctor said, - 'Maybe that's the problem.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- 'Take your shirt off, - I'll have a look.'
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- The doctor examined her, - phut, phut, phut!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- For a quarter of an hour!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- He asked, 'Do you feel better now?'
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- 'Yes, much better,' she replied. - 'Only problem is...
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- '..this is my daughter's baby.'
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- This trio started - to sing together back in 1996.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- After a short break - when they started families...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- ..they're back on NOSON LAWEN.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- They all come from this area - originally, but live in Cardiff now.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Get closer together, - it's time for 'Cwtcho Lan'.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Give a warm welcome to Eden!
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- We're going to dedicate - this song to our husbands.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- It's about south Wales men, - so we'd better mention our husbands.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41- We'd better!
0:07:41 > 0:07:42- We'd better!- - Yes!
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- So we get a 'cwtch' when we go home.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- # Oo, oo, oo, oo,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- # Oooo,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- # There's something about the way,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- # He talks to me,
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- # And something about his accent,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- # That makes my heart melt.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- # There's something about - those words,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- # That were unfamiliar once to me.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- # And when he, - the man from the south, asks,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- # He gets everything from me.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- # He asks me to come closer,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- # And I do.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- # He reaches out his hand,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- # Then he says,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- # In his own way,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- # Come cwtch up to me,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- # Come on, we might as well.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- # Come here, hold me tight,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- # Come and love me.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- # Come cwtch up to me,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- # Come on, we might as well.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- # And everything's right,
0:09:33 > 0:09:34- # Mmm,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- # Everything's right for us.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- # Sometimes, he calls,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- # And I still can't believe it,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- # That he's the one,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- # And that he,
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- # Wants to give me everything.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- # He asks me for a kiss,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- # And I do.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- # And he touches my hand,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- # And then he says,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- # In his own way,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- # Come cwtch up to me,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- # Come on, we might as well.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- # Come here, hold me tight,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- # Come here and love me.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- # Come cwtch up to me,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- # Come on, we might as well.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- # And everything's right,
0:10:58 > 0:10:59- # Mmm,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- # Everything's so right for us.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- # Oh, oooo,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- # There's nothing better than this,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- # Oooo,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- # You hold me tight,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- # Like this,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- # Come cwtch up to me,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- # Come on, we might as well.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- # Come here, hold me tight,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- # Come here and love me.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- # Come cwtch up to me,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- # Come on, we might as well.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- # And everything's right,
0:12:05 > 0:12:06- # Mmmm,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- # Everything's so right for us,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- # Everything's so right,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- # Mmm,
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- # Everything's so right for us,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- # Come cwtch up.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- # Mmmmm. #
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- 888
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Welcome back to NOSON LAWEN.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- I've travelled, you know. - I spent ages on an island on my own.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- I was as thin as a rake.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09- Long ago!
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Things were starting to get serious.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18- But what did I see, - on a nearby island, was a woman.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- I was excited! - I hadn't seen one for ages.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- I swam across. It wasn't very far.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- 'How are you?' I asked. 'Hello, - how are you?' she said. 'Not bad!'
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- I'd been living on nothing! - She said, 'Come in, for a cuppa.'
0:13:35 > 0:13:40- 'Goodness!' I said, 'You've got - teabags, cups and a teapot?'
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- 'Yes,' she replied. - 'Would you like some cake?'
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- 'You don't have cake?!' I said. - 'Yes, in the house,' she replied.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- Then, she said, 'I've got - something under my apron...
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- '..that you haven't seen for years.'
0:13:57 > 0:13:58- 'Goodness!' I said...
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- '..have you got a frying pan too?'
0:14:07 > 0:14:08- You know Thethil?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- Cecil's a friend of mine. - He lisps and he's a bit slow.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- Works for the Counthil!
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Anyone here from the Council?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Sitting down again!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- Thethil lisps like this.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- He's really daft. Did you - see the Winter Olympics on TV?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Thethil represented Britain.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- He was in charge - of the bobsleigh team.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- They were at the top, but Cecil - refused to go. 'Stop!' he said.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- 'I want a gritter first.'
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- Cecil and I tried to join - the police force in Colwyn Bay.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Only us two had applied.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- We were told to sit - in the Waiting Room.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- I went in first for the interview.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- The Superintendent said, - 'You'd like to be a policeman?
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- 'I've got a few general - knowledge questions to test you.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- 'What's 317 plus 317?'
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- Good gracious! I used to copy - Cecil in school. I had no idea.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- As I tried to work it out, he said, - 'Go back to the Waiting Room...
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- '..to work it out and send - your friend in.' So in went Cecil.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Lisping away, he said, 'How are you? - I'd like a job on the police force.'
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- 'No problem!' said the bloke. 'Some - general knowledge questions first.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- 'Tell me,' - said the sergeant to Cecil...
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- '..who killed - Llywelyn Ein Llyw Olaf?'
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- 'Goodness!' replied Cecil. 'Who - killed Llywelyn? I'm not sure.'
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- 'Go out, and send your friend - back in,' said the sergeant.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57- As we passed each other, I asked - Cecil, 'What's 317 plus 317?'
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- 'Don't bother me - with maths!' he said.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- 'They've just put me - on a murder case.'
0:16:15 > 0:16:20- Our next artiste is a mezzo soprano - from Deiniolen, near Caernarfon.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- After a period singing - with opera companies in England...
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- ..she returned to Wales to live - in Llanwnda, near Caernarfon.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- At the moment, she's - a peripatetic singing teacher...
0:16:32 > 0:16:37- ..in the schools of Conwy - and she sings professionally too.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- It's a pleasure - to present Sian Wyn Gibson.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- # Near the busy motorway,
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- # There was one straggling daffodil.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- # The daffodil, herald of spring,
0:17:24 > 0:17:29- # Its stem so straight and smooth.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41- # All the speeding cars,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- # Could not douse the flame,
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- # Of its enchantment.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- # Smoke twirled about it,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- # And all man's technology.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17- # In the pit of our modern world,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- # This was still the same,
0:18:22 > 0:18:27- # Yellow daffodil as ever,
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- # And its old, old language
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- # Older than the trees.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- # When the world - stops driving madly,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- # Down the roads,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- # When smoke stops polluting,
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- # It will be forever green,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- # And the challenge of its dance,
0:19:17 > 0:19:22- # The journey's flames,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- # And its spring,
0:19:29 > 0:19:35- # Will be the smile - of our language. #
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- It's a great pleasure - to sing with my little brother.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- When I say that, - people look puzzled!
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- I hope it's good for me, - as he's so tall.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00- It's nice to sing together.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01- It's nice to sing together.- - It is.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02- He's very busy.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04- Yes.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13- We're glad to sing together. - We've only just started.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- The big moment. We're going to sing - 'Can yn Ofer' by Cleif Harpwood.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- # Why do we always turn our backs,
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- # On the despair in the world?
0:20:42 > 0:20:47- # Why all the malice and violence?
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- # It's time someone - raised their voice.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- # A million here, a million there,
0:21:11 > 0:21:16- # Why can't someone - reach out a hand?
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- # I see their need for help - that does not arrive.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28- # Open your eyes - to their famine and fear.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- # The world still turns,
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- # It's futile, trying to flee,
0:21:44 > 0:21:49- # The world still turns
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- # Turns and turns,
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- # Turns and turns.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- # I'm a good citizen, - I pay my taxes,
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- # I have a little status,
0:22:22 > 0:22:27- # I'm quite reasonable, - I make the right sounds,
0:22:28 > 0:22:33- # My purpose in life - is to follow the herd.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- # And the world still turns,
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- # It's futile, trying to flee.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54- # And the world still turns,

0:40:46 > 0:40:48- # I travelled the world,
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- # Its length and breadth,
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- # When I was young and foolish.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- # Grass will have grown - over all my old paths,
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- # Before I return to Wales.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13- # Before I return to Wales, - my friends,
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- # Before I return to Wales.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26- # Grass will have grown - over all my old paths,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- # Before I return to Wales.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- # If I had the wings of dawn,
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- # I'd fly over my country's hills,
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- # To see the red roses,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- # On my parents' cottage.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58- # Before I return to Wales, - my friends,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- # Before I return to Wales,
0:42:08 > 0:42:13- # Grass will have grown - over all my old paths,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- # Before I return to Wales.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- # I knew not before, - So heedless I was,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- # That longing could so onerous be.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35- # I'd throw this burden - into the waters,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38- # From the bridge of my home valley.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44- # Before I return to Wales, - my friends,
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- # Before I return to Wales,
0:42:54 > 0:42:59- # Grass will have grown - Over all my old paths,
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- # Before I return to Wales.
0:43:08 > 0:43:13- # Farewell my father, - farewell my mother,
0:43:15 > 0:43:18- # Tonight, lock your door.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25- # And farewell - to the faultless girl,
0:43:26 > 0:43:29- # Weeping by the sea shore.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36- # Before I return to Wales, - my friends,
0:43:39 > 0:43:42- # Before I return to Wales,
0:43:45 > 0:43:50- # Grass will have grown - over my old paths,
0:43:54 > 0:43:59- # Before I return to Wales. #
0:44:08 > 0:44:12- We got tired - of retirement once again!
0:44:12 > 0:44:16- The band and I came out of - the hole where we were sleeping...
0:44:16 > 0:44:20- ..for the winter, - and we've enjoyed the summer.
0:44:22 > 0:44:27- It's good to get together from time - to time to remove the cobwebs!
0:44:33 > 0:44:37- # Many a tide has ebbed,
0:44:40 > 0:44:44- # And flowed over our land.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50- # Hopes shattered,
0:44:51 > 0:44:53- # Dreams scattered,
0:44:55 > 0:44:59- # And lies hid the truth.
0:45:02 > 0:45:06- # But the mountains still remain,
0:45:10 > 0:45:13- # Witness to former ages,
0:45:17 > 0:45:20- # Although scars are deep,
0:45:21 > 0:45:24- # We hear voices again,
0:45:25 > 0:45:28- # Echoing from the black cliffs.
0:45:32 > 0:45:37- # While there's a lark - above the mountain,
0:45:39 > 0:45:42- # While waves crash on the sand,
0:45:47 > 0:45:50- # While your eyes are so blue,
0:45:55 > 0:45:59- # I know that this is our land.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05- # The leaves murmur in the wind,
