0:13:530:13:58

-..especially Noson Lawen...

-is a comedy role.

0:14:080:14:12

-If it wasn't for Noson Lawen...

0:14:150:14:17

0:15:070:15:09

-I had to go

-to the doctor's the other day.

0:15:100:15:14

-I said, "Doctor,

-something is wrong down there.

0:15:140:15:18

0:15:180:15:21

-one. There are loads!"

0:15:290:15:33

-I asked, "Can you count them?"

0:15:330:15:36

-He did. It took some time, with me

-like this, a bit embarrassed.

0:15:360:15:41

-He said, "There's 1,999."

0:15:410:15:43

-I said, "Thank goodness!

0:15:440:15:45

-"I thought I didn't feel too grand."

0:15:460:15:48

-There was an accident

-by the Albert Hall. Did you see it?

0:15:530:15:58

0:16:150:16:19

-He said, "Are you alright?"

0:16:200:16:22

-She replied, "I am. Are you?"

0:16:220:16:24

-"Yes."

0:16:240:16:25

-She said, "This is a miracle.

0:16:270:16:29

0:16:310:16:32

-They started to look

0:16:330:16:36

-She said, "One moment."

-She went to the car.

0:16:360:16:39

0:16:440:16:49

0:17:330:17:35

-# Picking daisies down in the valley

0:25:070:25:10

-# I wandered astray,

-found a barn filled with hay

0:25:100:25:14

-# And a luscious young

-farmer named Gary

0:25:150:25:19

-# He was randy and fast,

-and I thought, "Yes, at last!"

0:25:190:25:23

-# And I shouted,

-"Oh Gary, I want it!"

0:25:230:25:27

-# But he was as drunk as a newt

0:25:280:25:30

-# Although he was cute

0:25:300:25:32

-# I saw more of his supper

-than I wanted

0:25:330:25:37

-# Oh Gary, just think

-what you've missed

0:25:380:25:41

-# It was all a flop,

-you weren't up to it

0:25:410:25:46

-# Oh Gary, you passed out so quick

0:25:460:25:50

-# I was left on my own

-with two hens in the rick #

0:25:500:25:54

-If you think it gets better

-from here, you're wrong!

0:25:550:25:59

-# I was looking for love

-when I reached twenty one

0:26:010:26:05

-# I searched far and wide

-across the valley

0:26:050:26:08

-# It was deep in the moss

-that I stumbled across

0:26:080:26:12

-# A strapping young lad,

-name of Danny

0:26:120:26:16

-# He was brave, he was smart,

-he was so dear to my heart

0:26:170:26:21

-# Poor Gary, I hardly missed him

0:26:210:26:24

-# I thought I had found

0:26:250:26:27

-# A love so profound

0:26:270:26:29

-# But I caught him jumping

-on the settee with my sister

0:26:300:26:33

-# Oh Danny, you messed me about

0:26:340:26:37

-# You kissed all the girls,

-even Gwen, my aunt

0:26:370:26:41

-# Oh, Danny boy

0:26:420:26:45

-# I gave you my heart

0:26:450:26:48

-# You thought nothing of that

-when you tore it apart

0:26:480:26:54

-# And when I look back,

-I consider the facts

0:26:550:26:59

-# From my earlier days in the valley

0:26:590:27:02

-# And I hope and I pray

-that I find someone, some day

0:27:020:27:06

-# That doesn't remind me of Danny

0:27:060:27:09

-# Or Gary

0:27:100:27:11

-# Or Barry #

0:27:120:27:14

-What was I thinking?

0:27:140:27:16

-# How the valley has changed!

0:27:160:27:20

-# The trees have been cut,

-the hedges are trimmed

0:27:200:27:24

-# I've searched far and wide

-with my love life defunct

0:27:240:27:27

-# I'll travel the world,

-Australia, Japan

0:27:280:27:31

-# I'm not going to stop

-until I find the right man

0:27:310:27:35

-# So brace yourselves boys

0:27:360:27:39

-Welcome back.

0:28:070:28:08

-The Welsh community

-is very strong in London.

0:28:080:28:12

-There are 300,000 people

-from Wales in the city.

0:28:120:28:16

-We're familiar with the amazing work

-done at the London Welsh School.

0:28:160:28:21

-Maybe some of you

-went to the school.

0:28:210:28:24

-We're going to hear from some

-of the youngest London Welsh.

0:28:240:28:28

-Please welcome the pupils

-of the London Welsh School.

0:28:280:28:32

-Welcome to our school!

0:28:330:28:35

-The school was founded in 1958...

0:28:380:28:40

-..by fathers who wanted a Welsh

-education for their children.

0:28:410:28:45

-It started

-with Welsh lessons on Saturdays.

0:28:450:28:48

-We have 25 full-time pupils now,

-from a variety of backgrounds.

0:28:490:28:54

-Most of the children

-come from Welsh homes...

0:28:550:28:58

-..but maybe with only

-one Welsh speaking parent.

0:28:580:29:02

-Swimming pool, good.

-Your turn now.

0:29:040:29:06

-It's a totally unique school.

0:29:070:29:09

-But it's also like one big family.

-Everyone helps each other.

0:29:090:29:14

-Everyone is friends,

-the families are friends.

0:29:140:29:18

-It's like one big...

0:29:180:29:20

-..happy family!

-Welcome back

-to the London Welsh Noson Lawen.

0:38:440:38:48

-over a century ago, in 1902.

0:38:480:38:51

-They've met up and performed

-in Welsh ever since...

0:38:520:38:57

-..on leading stages,

-from the Albert Hall to Twickenham.

0:38:570:39:01

-A London Noson Lawen

-wouldn't be complete without them.

0:39:020:39:08

-Thanks to

-the London Welsh Male Voice Choir.

0:42:560:43:00

-It's my privilege

-to introduce the next star.

0:43:000:43:03

-She outshines all the rest.

0:43:030:43:07

-Please welcome

-Mrs Olwen Tegwen Thomas...

0:43:080:43:12

-..or to you and me, Mrs OTT.

0:43:120:43:15

-Hello!

0:43:210:43:22

-How are you?

0:43:240:43:25

-Do you like the outfit?

0:43:260:43:29

-Harrods.

0:43:290:43:30

-Pardon? You don't believe me?

0:43:320:43:35

-It's in the Harrods window.

0:43:350:43:38

-I'm not supposed to be here.

-I'm filling the gap.

0:43:390:43:43

-They were desperate.

-Someone didn't turn up.

0:43:430:43:46

-So Noson Lawen phoned me.

0:43:470:43:49

-"Olwen, would you like a free trip

-to London?" they asked me.

0:43:490:43:53

-"I'll be there like a shot," I said.

0:43:540:43:57

-Tommy lives in London.

-He has grown up.

0:43:580:44:02

-Do you remember Tommy?!

0:44:020:44:05

-He works in the Albert Hall,

-selling programmes.

0:44:070:44:11

-I met him there yesterday.

-I got lost. I went round in circles.

0:44:140:44:18

-I found him eventually.

-He lives in Soho.

0:44:200:44:23

-His girlfriend's name is Tamara.

0:44:240:44:28

-She's a model, and she's lovely.

0:44:290:44:32

-I think she's allergic to clothes.

0:44:320:44:34

-When he heard I was coming, he said,

-"Mam! I'll show you the sights.

0:44:370:44:42

-"Bring a flask and sandwiches,

-because we'll be on the go all day.

0:44:420:44:47

-"We'll start with the London Eye,"

-he said. "What's that?" I said.

0:44:470:44:51

-"A big wheel." "I like big wheels,"

-I said. So off we went.

0:44:520:44:57

-It's slow!

0:44:570:45:00

-We were there forever.

0:45:020:45:04

-By the time I reached the top, I

-was starving and needed the ladies.

0:45:040:45:09

-I wanted to see

-where the Queen lives.

0:45:110:45:14

-Do you think she'd like to meet me?

0:45:140:45:17

-We walked down Pall Mall.

0:45:180:45:21

-I was fit to drop.

0:45:220:45:24

-It's a big house.

0:45:240:45:26

-Isn't it a big house?

0:45:270:45:29

-It's like a palace. I wouldn't

-like to hoover that place.

0:45:290:45:34

-No wonder she's so small,

-having to hoover that place!

0:45:350:45:39

-Then we went to Madame Tussauds.

0:45:390:45:43

-I enjoyed that. It was fantastic.

0:45:430:45:47

-I saw all the famous people.

-They're so realistic.

0:45:470:45:51

-It was too much. I was overwhelmed.

0:45:520:45:56

-So I sat with my flask, next

-to William, Kate and the babies.

0:45:560:46:01

-Then an official said, "Move along,

-please. We're stocktaking."

0:46:020:46:07

-We ended up in the Ritz

-for afternoon tea.

0:46:120:46:16

-We had little cakes

-on posh plates...

0:46:180:46:21

-..and wafer-thin tuna and cucumber

-sandwiches.

0:46:210:46:25

-We had a silver teapot.

0:46:260:46:29

-It was so big, I could see myself

-in it. So I put some lipstick on.

0:46:290:46:34

-A chap was playing

-a grand piano in the corner.

0:46:340:46:39

-"Do you know what," I said to him.

-"You're a beautiful player."

0:46:400:46:45

-"Thank you," he said.

-"Do you speak Welsh?" I asked him.

0:46:450:46:49

-"I know you!" I said.

0:46:490:46:52

-Bleddyn, Tommy's best friend,

-was playing the piano in the Ritz!

0:46:520:46:58

-Do you remember Bleddyn?

0:46:580:47:01

-You're young.

0:47:010:47:03

-"What are you doing here?"
