-Good evening, dear nation, and

-welcome to Al's Christmas hamper...

-..of everything that happened

-in TV and the media this year...

-..all wrapped up

-in one tidy package.

-My helpful assistant is

-all-round expert, Alun Williams...

-..friend to the stars...

-..a man who's twitched more curtains

-than anyone in Wales.

-You obviously enjoyed Christmas.

-You obviously enjoyed Christmas.

-

-Get on.

-It's been quite a year.

-Whatever. Get on with it.

-Go and hide behind more curtains.

-Gary Slaymaker and Daniel Glyn

-will join us later.

-Why do we need both?

-For a balanced view.

-For confirmation of the value

-of this cornerstone of taste...

-..take a peep at the five clips.

-I know who he looks like.

-My name is Beca.

-I like to experiment.

-That's a blackbird

-stuffed with couscous.

-Christmas pizzas.

-I want people to say,

-"She's 41 and she looks great."

-I feel great.

-Sing!

-# No bird suffers the same slight #

-GUNSHOT

-Good Lord! What the heck was that?!

-The body's holding a sign saying,

-"It's him, yes, him."

-It sometimes feels you're watching

-a snail with a wooden leg on Valium.

-If we had 25 clips, I don't think

-we could do this miracle justice.

-2016 was the Welsh Government's

-Year of Adventure.

-That suggests

-they went to the Himalayas.

-Carwyn Jones is probably surer

-of foot than a mountain goat...

-..but that's not what it was about.

-It was an attempt

-to bring together...

-..all our nation's outdoor

-activities under one banner.

-There was a variety of adventure

-programmes on S4C during the year.

-Lowri Morgan, for whom

-no challenge is too tough...

-..was the face of the campaign.

-She's accomplished all sorts

-of crazy feats.

-She's conquered the jungle.

-She's conquered the Arctic.

-Five girls, three peaks, one boat.

-Ar Y Dibyn, 333.

-Tonight,

-her biggest challenge yet...

-..a star on Sam Ar Y Sgrin!

-# On the eighth month of the year,

-Lowri ran far

-# Three big peaks,

-through the rain and sleet

-# Three nasty runs

-with lots of turns

-# From north to south,

-avoiding all the towns

-# To the top of Snowdon,

-to the peak of Cader

-# And Pen y Fan

-# Running between the three

-like someone who's a bit nutty

-# And all this in 72 hours #

-We'll hear more

-about her feats later.

-Another star who's travelled

-the country is Beca Becws.

-She's been everywhere.

-After coming fourth in the

-Great British Bake Off in 2013...

-..she's presented numerous series

-for S4C.

-Her latest

-is about pop-up party food.

-Here's an alternative look

-at that series.

-My name is Beca.

-I like to experiment.

-With Christmas approaching...

-..I've put my own spin on the boring

-traditional Christmas dinner...

-..in a very fashionable

-pop-up restaurant.

-To help me...

-..someone who's prepared thousands

-of boring Christmas dinners, Nana.

-Thanks, Beca. It's lovely

-to be back on your programme.

-I promise I won't interrupt much.

-Enough, Nana.

-We start

-with Christmas dinner pizzas.

-To make Beca's

-pop-up Christmas dinner pizzas...

-..all you need to do

-is follow these simple instructions.

-A thick sauce spread evenly.

-The best organic carrots.

-Seasonal potatoes.

-Home-made stuffing.

-Turkey.

-From Tesco.

-No, Beca, no. We can't have that.

-Yes, Nana. My own personal spin

-on the traditional Christmas dinner.

-Sprouts...

-..and a spoonful of cranberry sauce.

-Mmm, lush.

-No, Beca, no. You can't have

-Christmas dinner pizzas.

-Nana's obviously forgotten

-the name of the programme.

-It's called Beca, Nana.

-Nana, calm down.

-You can see your oven.

-What's lush about pop-ups

-is they're also pop-downs.

-It's a bit dark in here, Beca.

-Once again, my recipes

-are popular on the street.

-Merry Christmas to you all.

-Beca's new series.

-The Christmas dinner pizzas didn't

-quite go down as well as expected.

-2016 was a year of sport -

-the Olympics and the Euros.

-Balemania.

-Y Bala became Y Bale and also

-we had the Bale of Glamorgan.

-He also has a bardic name

-without changing his surname.

-As was heard across Europe,

-there's only one Gareth Bale.

-Everyone loved

-that Wales did so amazingly well.

-Almost as amazing as the welcome the

-team received when they returned.

-The welcome wasn't the same

-for the husbands...

-..who promised they were just

-popping over for the first game...

-..but who returned two weeks later

-with just dust in their pockets.

-The debt for them will be big,

-financially and emotionally.

-There were many entertainment

-programmes on S4C to do with footy.

-Who better to give their views

-than Gary Slaymaker and Daniel Glyn.

-A word of warning,

-they don't hold back.

-Vive Gareth Bale!

-There was a programme following

-Dylan Ebenezer and Malcolm Allen...

-..on their way

-to the footy in France.

-We don't see enough

-of these type of shows on S4C...

-..a real travelogue.

-Bonjour.

-Corridor of uncertainty.

-Le couloir d'incertitude.

-It was a boys' outing.

-It was friendly.

-They went to Lens and Marseille

-and saw places Wales would play.

-At every stop, cheese, wine

-or oysters would be eaten.

-They did all the cliches.

-They drove a Citroen.

-They did the best pun in the history

-of Welsh-language broadcasting.

-Paris!

-Paris!

-

-Par-ee!

-Par-ee. Nic Par-ee!

-There's something

-about the partnership...

-..between Dylan and Malcolm

-that just works.

-Malcolm's enthusiasm is infectious.

-Malcolm's enthusiasm is infectious.

-

-When he speaks Welsh, it's Gog...

-..but he speaks English

-like a Cockney.

-He always sounds

-like he's taking the mickey.

-It's not a good Cockney.

-"Alright, mate, apples and pears!"

-But it's

-how he actually speaks English.

-I've watched the programme again.

-So much of what Mal said on it

-was how Wales played.

-I just feel...

-..that we're about to achieve

-something special.

-Four former internationals...

-Codi Gol was a good series too.

-It tied in with the electric

-atmosphere of the Euros.

-I don't know much about football.

-I know about Aston Village

-and Tottenham Hotshots. That's it.

-You had Iwan Roberts

-and John Hartson...

-..coming in to coach local teams.

-I'm surprised S4C

-didn't do more at that time.

-You had the football matches

-and this.

-Bryn Chef could have been sent

-to Marseille in a van...

-..to cook burgers

-in front of the supporters.

-Or Gerallt could have looked

-at football traditions in Bala.

-Do you know the term

-all style, no content?

-This programme

-was no style, no content.

-Lots of people have been nasty

-about this programme.

-Saying it was a bit shallow

-and lacked substance.

-My reply is, yes, so what?

-I really enjoyed it.

-All I could see was a woman

-going to Mallorca on a jolly...

-..saying

-she was looking for a new man.

-It was a half-hour Tinder advert.

-We're lucky in Wales we had

-that behind-the-scenes look...

-..at the wives of our footballers.

-Or even ex-wives.

-Not much seems to change

-after the decree nisi.

-The other wag from Anglesey

-Bye, kids. Bye.

-If you could only bottle

-this moment.

-It's nice

-when the kids are in school.

-I get to slump in the house.

-Though I live in a big house...

-..I'm just a girl from Anglesey.

-I just want to do the simple things.

-I don't have much more

-than Nain had, really.

-As she said, "Make do and mend."

-Make the best of what you have.

-Where does she enjoy

-spending her time in the house?

-We're here in the...

-Cut.

-Tatiana, what do we call this room?

-It's called 'kitchen', madam.

-Kitchen, yes, OK.

-Start again.

-We're here in the kitchen.

-It's where I like to be.

-Cooking and making things.

-I do get some help.

-Like a girl from Anglesey,

-I hate taking it.

-I'd rather do it myself.

-She loves cleaning

-her minimal white palace.

-What's nice about this house...

-..is you find out things about it

-all the time.

-How long have you lived here, Jude?

-How long have you lived here, Jude?

-

-About nine years.

-What have you discovered?

-I found another kitchen yesterday.

-That's like Nain

-finding a shilling down the sofa.

-Which one is it?

-I've also discovered the lights

-in the house.

-They're fantastic.

-Everyone needs one of these.

-Look.

-If you're in a blue mood...

-..you can have

-a green or purple light.

-Or blue even.

-It just makes the house

-more interesting.

-After a hard day's work...

-..what better than to remove

-the make-up and relax.

-I want people to say,

-"She's 41 and she looks great."

-I feel great.

-Have you had surgery?

-Have you had surgery?

-

-No.

-I'm lucky, I have such a nice body

-I don't need to have any work on it.

-I know a lot of girls

-who have had work done.

-Only stitching holds them together.

-I know I don't look a size zero,

-but that's television.

-It's the compromise

-you have to make.

-If you want the attention,

-you've got to be on TV.

-I saw Kate, Kate Moss.

-She was on TV.

-We all know how beautiful she is.

-She's so pretty.

-On the TV,

-she looked like a water buffalo.

-Anyway, it's been a long day.

-I've worked so hard today.

-I've worked so hard today.

-

-What's that noise?

-It means it's time for you to leave.

-Hop it.

-I'm going to have a bath.

-Come on. It's not a peep show.

-These television people

-are so common.

-Oh, lovely.

-Oh! It's worth every second

-of the hard day I've had today.

-BREAKING WIND

-Who did that?

-That's it for part one.

-More friends of the channel to come,

-including this man.

-Hello!

-Join me, Rhys Meirion...

-..on my series with one of Wales's

-sweetest voices, Malcolm Allen.

-Ha!

-Once I've found him.

-Welcome back to the masterpiece.

-We've had a few milestones

-during the year...

-..none more so than

-the channel's first gay wedding.

-Alun Williams, our gay marriage

-expert, went to find out more...

-..and speak to Iolo, Tyler

-and the production team.

-Lads, congratulations,

-you've created history.

-It's incredible to be a part

-of history, particularly for me.

-I'm a new character in Cwmderi.

-It's quite an achievement.

-Overall, it's been a fantastic

-experience. We're very happy.

-We're really proud to be the first

-gay couple to get married on S4C.

-It's nice to be a part of that...

-..and bring something positive

-out through the story.

-He's had second thoughts, hasn't he?

-He's had second thoughts, hasn't he?

-

-There must be a simple explanation.

-He's half an hour late.

-Unfortunately,

-the day didn't quite go to plan.

-No, I think it's my fault at the

-start. You were waiting for me.

-I've been over to Dani's

-the night before to reminisce.

-We end up having a few drinks.

-I drink a bit too much.

-I drink a bit too much.

-

-Terrible.

-Brake, Courtney!

-Even then, I don't think anybody

-predicted what would happen.

-No. I think that's what was so good

-about that episode.

-You absolutely don't see it coming.

-You have everybody around...

-..and they're celebrating

-and it starts nicely.

-You're not sure

-if it will happen at first.

-When we do get married,

-you see the happiness there.

-"Take thee, Tyler Dean Davies

-as my lawful wedded husband."

-Since the law changed...

-..this is the first legal marriage

-on Pobol Y Cwm and S4C.

-It's great to be able to do that.

-We look at it as the wedding

-of a couple who love each other...

-..as opposed

-to being a gay marriage.

-But it is obviously groundbreaking.

-Two gay people getting married

-shouldn't even be news.

-It should just be

-two people getting married.

-When we get to that point...

-..we'll know

-we'll have done something right.

-We've moved things on.

-Thanks for the chat,

-I know you're busy.

-I'm off.

-You've come in especially for this?

-You've come in especially for this?

-

-No, I'm at work.

-Good luck to Tyler and to Iolo.

-Another drama that kept the people

-of Wales gripped for eight weeks...

-..was the unique and powerful Parch.

-At times,

-it was difficult to work out...

-..where the spiritual world ended

-and the real world began...

-..as we saw in this scene.

-I know I haven't been here recently.

-Things have been a bit hectic.

-ORGAN MUSIC

-It's me, Sioned. I'm bored.

-Hello, Sioned.

-What do you have there, Vic?

-Beca's Pipty Popty Pizza.

-Did you make them?

-Did you make them?

-

-No, Gethin.

-He's killed once, Myf. What makes

-you think he won't again?

-For heaven's sake, get on with it.

-This story's dragged on

-far too long.

-It's gone from whodunit

-to who hasn't done it?

-Your daughter loves her teacher,

-your husband, sorry, ex-husband...

-..is eyeing everything

-in a skirt...

-..while you and Eurig

-pussyfoot around snogging.

-It's like Sodom.

-The only one with morals

-is Mr Jarman.

-He's not long for the world.

-He's not long for the world.

-

-It's you, Vicar.

-Christmas pizzas.

-Yes, they're pizzas

-for Popty Pipty Beca.

-They're for the Christmas party.

-Help yourself.

-Did you make them?

-No, Gethin, Mr Jarman.

-Mr Jarman.

-Mr Jarman.

-Are you OK, Mr Jarman?

-Yes, I am now.

-It was quite tasty at first.

-Now, I can't taste it at all.

-Another one bites the dust.

-Are there more ghosts here?

-I'm one.

-I'm one.

-So am I.

-I'm one and I haven't had any pizza.

-No wonder there's so little

-in the collection.

-Christmas dinner pizzas?

-Do me a favour, will you?

-To discuss the year's drama...

-..here are Gary Slaymaker

-and Daniel Glyn once again.

-They don't hold back.

-No, I don't want extra sprouts,

-thank you.

-S4C's new political drama.

-They made a fuss

-that it would be edgy and powerful.

-In the first week of January,

-you think it could be special.

-Since then,

-we've had Brexit and Trump.

-Is it realistic?

-I'll say this, the Byw Celwydd cast

-is beautiful, all of them.

-No way do the people who work

-in government look like that.

-There are a lot of familiar faces.

-Who knew Sali Mali was so militant?

-Listen, the All Wales government,

-the coalition...

-..intend to build a new hospital

-in a Democratic constituency.

-That proves beyond doubt that these

-aren't political decisions.

-If Bryn Glas is closed, there

-will be a genuine reason to do so.

-You've discussed closing Bryn Glas.

-You've discussed closing Bryn Glas.

-

-I have no more to say.

-For now, thanks very much.

-For now, thanks very much.

-

-Nice one, Tom.

-How the hell did she find out?

-So, to raise my mother's spirits,

-Arthur took her somewhere special.

-Well, special for Arthur.

-I wasn't sure

-if it was a drama or a comedy.

-It's about moving

-from Cardiff to Anglesey...

-..so, I'd call it a tragedy.

-I really enjoyed it.

-It's like a sitcom supergroup.

-Caryl Parry Jones is in it,

-Bryn Fon, Nia Roberts is in it.

-Rhodri Meilyr

-from My Family is in it.

-What is your name?

-What's your name?

-I knows that one, don't I?

-What is your name.

-Caryl can do accents in her sleep.

-There's something about

-Cardiff accents that grate with me.

-Falling in to this

-half English half Welsh...

-..sounded like something

-they did for the script.

-It didn't sound right for the story.

-Has he dumped you?

-I'm in a right old quandary,

-I don't know if I'm coming or going.

-I thought it was going wonderfully.

-Then he dumps a great big cat

-in my pigeon.

-What?

-It's nice to see positive characters

-from Cardiff.

-Usually on Pobol Y Cwm, characters

-from Cardiff bring problems.

-Guns or drugs.

-Guns or drugs.

-

-It's an old story.

-The difference between

-North Wales and South Wales.

-It was like Fo A Fe

-without the sexual tension.

-It's not going to be a piece of cake

-for me with the CHs and splychs...

-..and weird raffle prizes

-and the old Gog thing.

-That's why I've brought

-a bit of Cardiff back for you.

-You haven't brought me a Clark's Pie

-have you? I could murder one.

-No, sorry.

-No, sorry.

-

-They think I killed someone.

-Y Gwyll has been S4C's big success

-in the last two years.

-Scandi noir or our answer

-to Scandi noir, Cardi noir.

-It surprises me that

-they didn't call it The Cilling.

-Mathias, what's wrong with him?

-How does he even have time

-to go out and solve anything?

-He has more issues

-than the Radio Times.

-He reminds me of Mel Gibson

-in Lethal Weapon.

-He lives in a caravan!

-He sounds like he had

-a bit of a problem.

-Another wild night in Aber?

-As we go through the series,

-Y Gwyll's problem, pacing, appears.

-It sometimes feels you're watching

-a snail with a wooden leg on Valium.

-You can't take anyone

-in a bobble hat seriously.

-They need to have a word

-with the costume department.

-A flat cap or cowboy hat.

-Bobble hats don't fit a detective

-of Richard Harrington's standard.

-Yes, Y Gwyll is as popular as ever,

-not just here but across Europe.

-It's even popular in Brittany.

-I hope we're not letting

-the cat out of the bag here...

-..but the scene

-we're about to show you...

-..is the one you've been waiting

-for since the very first episode.

-Why is that Chief Inspector

-always so angry?

-The pictures are back from the lab.

-What do they show?

-There's very little evidence

-in the selfies...

-..taken by the murderer

-before, during and after the murder.

-Well, have you caught him yet?

-No, sir, but we have photos

-back from the labs.

-And?

-They show someone being killed, sir.

-Genius. Anything else?

-Well, an official hat,

-like the Chief Inspector's.

-A watch similar to yours, sir.

-Then there's a sign next to the body

-saying "Yes, it's him. It's him."

-It's quite obvious then, isn't it?

-Do we have a profile

-of the killer yet?

-Yes, sir. We have a grumpy farmer

-living in a cottage by himself.

-He has a grudge

-against a drifter...

-..who lives in a manky bungalow

-by a bog.

-Here's 50p, son.

-Buy yourself an ice cream.

-Look at those photos again, Tom.

-What do they show you?

-The Chief Inspector's hat.

-A watch similar to yours sir.

-The body holding a sign saying

-"Yes, it's him. It's him."

-What does that say?

-Grumpy farmer, cottage...

-Grumpy farmer, cottage...

-

-No, no, no!

-It says Chief Inspector, not

-dissimilar to me, killing someone!

-I'm back.

-I'm back.

-

-Go and buy another one.

-Why would a Chief Inspector take

-photos of their own murder victim?

-To make it as bleeding obvious

-as possible!

-But why?

-Listen, Tom.

-Do you realize how painful it is...

-..to watch your child blunder

-through the evidence time and again?

-I did it, and I made it as clear

-as possible so you could solve it!

-Clearly, it wasn't clear enough!

-You, sir? Why?

-Why do you think I've been so grumpy

-for three series?

-I'm your father, Tom.

-No!

-My caravan burned down,

-oh bugger, what will I do now?

-No, you can't be! No!

-You're nothing like me!

-That's the worst nightmare

-I've ever had.

-Fried or scrambled, Tom?

-There's much more to come.

-Don't go far.

-Someone might steal your place

-on the sofa.

-In a troubled year

-that saw plenty of actual drama...

-..in the political world,

-we certainly needed...

-..some diverting comedy and

-entertainment on our TV screens.

-Did we get it?

-Well, we got Ffasiwn Bildar.

-Ho ho.

-The fashion industry

-is looking for real-life models.

-Model and plasterer Dylan Garner

-has been challenged...

-..to find someone who can go

-from the yard to the catwalk.

-Professional Builder magazine

-is looking for the perfect face...

-..to model the clothes

-of world-famous brand Dickies.

-A show looking for pretty boys

-who are good at building.

-That's a very odd combination.

-Some of them clearly loved it.

-While they get busy painting...

-..we'll sit back and enjoy their

-attempts to impress the judges.

-These shows can create tension

-out of anything.

-One task was assembling a table.

-Well done, boys. That's a good job.

-I was on the edge of my seat

-worrying if they could do it.

-They clearly couldn't do the job

-they were paid to do every day.

-Not the best advert

-for the building industry.

-There was a good prize, so someone

-was bound to be keen to win it.

-3,500 and the Ffasiwn Bildar title.

-Not for Gary and Dan, perhaps...

-..but 'Run Sbit

-is back in the spring.

-That's the show about

-a lookalike agency in North Wales.

-You'll be amazed

-who turns up looking for work.

-I'm Linda Brown...

-..and this is my daughter, Caren.

-Together...

-..we run the only lookalike company

-for Welsh celebrities.

-If you need

-that special star's lookalike...

-..for an event...

-..contact 'Run Sbit.

-Yes, yes, yes. Be at the hall

-by five or she'll kill me.

-How can I help you?

-How can I help you?

-

-Hello, I'm Aled Samuel.

-I haven't got an Aled Samuel

-on my books.

-To be honest,

-there isn't much call for him.

-No, I am Aled Samuel.

-I understand now.

-What can I do for you?

-If anyone asks for Aled Samuel

-to open something, I could do that.

-I'm sorry, you don't really

-look anything like him.

-We need someone much more like him.

-But he does look like Bryn Fon, Mam.

-Can you sing?

-I know who he's a double for.

-Didn't I say? Margaret Williams.

-Sing. Take off the glasses and sing.

-# Beside the old church

-flows an ancient stream

-# With a woody thorn bush

-sheltering its gleam

-# Around it, the girls

-every morning and noon

-# Await patiently,

-and songs they do croon #

-Hello.

-Hello.

-

-Hi, it's me.

-Margaret, you're opening

-a chip shop in Gwalchmai tonight.

-Pistyll y Llan and one other song.

-Thank you.

-Sorry, who are you meant to be?

-Sorry, who are you meant to be?

-

-Who are you meant to be?

-Alun Williams.

-Alun Williams!

-I know him.

-You look nothing like him.

-Alun Williams!

-'Run Sbit is back in the new year

-and that scene will not feature.

-Albi A Noa is the

-new emotional Christmas movie...

-..in the style of

-Y Dyn Nath Ddwyn Y 'Dolig.

-That film launched several

-successful careers, of course.

-I'm thinking of that talented,

-handsome sidekick of Mordecai's.

-Is it a success? Here's an

-exclusive behind-the-scenes look.

-When we think

-of classic Christmas films...

-..we think Elf or Home Alone, or

-in Welsh, Y Dyn Nath Ddwyn Y 'Dolig.

-A classic.

-You can also add Rhestr Nadolig Wil.

-Right this second,

-in this very school in Penarth...

-..there's another Christmas film

-being shot.

-Caryl Parry Jones

-and Non Parry are involved.

-That means it must be good.

-I've brought gold for the baby.

-It's a magical film.

-It's about

-a seven-year-old boy called Noa.

-His parents are lovely

-and they love him dearly.

-But they sometimes forget about him.

-To compensate, Noa has invented

-an imaginary friend called Albi.

-Albi and I are vegetarians now.

-It's a terrible time for turkeys

-so Albi and I are on strike.

-Here's one of the stars of the show.

-This is Efan, who plays Noa.

-Tell us about Noa.

-Noa is a little boy...

-..who has parents who

-don't like playing with him.

-He imagines a friend called Albi.

-He's an imaginary friend

-who is always there for him.

-As Noa, I know, whenever I'm sad,

-that Albi is by my side.

-I'm the imaginary friend.

-No-one can see me.

-Only Noa can see me.

-That's because I'm his friend

-and he's my friend.

-I have to follow Noa around.

-Noa and I are quite cheeky.

-What do you mean no?

-Say no, then Mam and Dad won't

-be annoyed with you. That's fine.

-We aren't happy

-that he has an imaginary friend.

-Why?

-We don't want people thinking

-he's weird.

-There are weird people

-with imaginary friends.

-I had one.

-I had one.

-

-Exactly.

-Describe your character for us.

-She's very real.

-She reflects the lives

-of modern day mothers.

-She works and brings up kids

-and is trying to juggle everything.

-The idea is that there's more

-than just what you can see.

-There's also room for imagination

-and magic and humour.

-All that is included in the film.

-It's quite a responsibility. S4C has

-made lots of good Christmas films.

-I know, but in the past, I've done

-films with more serious themes.

-This is a family film for Christmas.

-There are also songs and I've worked

-with a choreographer this time.

-I really wanted a new challenge.

-Time for a break now.

-Hang on, I'm hearing Lowri Morgan

-is still on her journey.

-She can't still be running?

-Where is she now?

-# The nation can not fathom

-what keeps Lowri Morgan running

-# She's off her head

-# She is really bonkers

-# She's out of her mind

-# She doesn't care

-# Running on for days and days

-# She lives in Lycra

-# And she doesn't care for praise

-# And all this in 72 hours

-# What will Lowri do in 2017?

-# Another Ralio series

-# More crazy racing

-# Racing round the Earth

-after giving birth

-# Running to the moon,

-like a silly loon

-# Oh, so many races

-# A jog into the Himalayas

-# A trot across the States

-# There isn't much she hasn't done #

-.

-Welcome back to the masterpiece.

-Where would we be

-without Rhys Meirion?

-He's a colossal Welshman.

-He's a charming,

-unpretentious singer...

-..a presenter and a man

-who marches across the country...

-..raising money for charities.

-This year he's even shared

-the stage with people...

-..much less talented than himself.

-I'm sure my invitation

-must be in the post by now.

-The title Deuawdau (Duets)

-implies some kind of equality...

-..but that isn't always the case.

-Hello.

-Join me,

-Rhys Meirion on Deuawdau...

-..with one of Wales'

-sweetest voices, Malcolm Allen.

-Once we've found him.

-Malcolm Allen, footballer,

-pundit, proud Welshman.

-The voice of Welsh soccer.

-If you can hear him, that is.

-But can he sing?

-That's the question.

-He's Rhys Meirion's guest

-in this episode of Deuawdau.

-Can I move now?

-Malcolm, are you in there?

-Hello.

-He's a cheeky monkey.

-Malcolm?

-The idea of this show is

-that we sing two songs together.

-You choose one of them and then

-I pick an aria or a folk song.

-I've got a folk song for you but

-you'll have to dress like a referee.

-With me, now Rhys.

-# Your mum's as ugly as Wayne Rooney

-# Your dad's a real loony

-# Your willy is like a jackdaw's #

-Very good, Malcolm.

-Not quite what we wanted.

-# You're going home

-in a Red Cross ambulance

-# You're going home

-in a Red Cross ambulance

-# You're going home

-in a Red Cross ambulance #

-What about that one?

-Don't like that one either?

-Why don't we sing

-'I Mewn i'r Gol' together?

-Is the goalkeeping outfit

-really necessary, Malcolm?

-Come on, now, you fusspot,

-sing with me.

-Okay, Malcolm.

-# Into the goal, goal

-# Into the goal, goal #

-Sing.

-# Into the goal, goal

-# Into the goal, goal

-# Into the goal, goal

-# When Malcs scores a goal #

-You're a rubbish goalie.

-I'm a singer!

-He's away again. Goal!!!

-Rhys Meirion getting a football

-lesson with Malcolm Allen.

-One of many highlights

-of Rhys Meirion's series, Deuawdau.

-That was an entertainment show but

-to fit my link it's a documentary.

-There were lots of good

-documentaries on S4C this year.

-I'm not the only one saying that.

-S4C make really good documentaries.

-One show that grabbed me, but

-gave the game away in the title...

-..was Fy Nhad Y Swltan.

-It's about a man who discovers

-his father was a sultan.

-My name is Keith Williams.

-When I was 13

-my mother told me I was adopted.

-I didn't really think much about it.

-I never imagined I was related to a

-royal family in a far-flung country.

-It's like a detective story.

-He searches for his father...

-..and backtracks and discovers...

-..that he has family

-in Kuala Lumpur.

-I turned the page

-and read these words.

-The father of the child

-is a Malayan...

-..a married man with a family.

-The idea of suddenly discovering...

-..that you're the son

-of a sultan is incredible.

-You go on the journey with him

-and want to know as much as him.

-You hope he isn't disappointed.

-I drove up Mynydd y Betws

-and thought about it for hours.

-There was a lot to take in.

-I was hanging onto every word.

-That's what you want

-from a documentary.

-To think my father came

-from the other side of the world.

-There was a lot of water between us.

-It really shook me up.

-Hard to take in.

-I really enjoyed Y Dyn Gwyllt.

-There's something cool

-about the lifestyle.

-The hunting and fishing.

-When did you last see guns on S4C?

-I have a pretty normal life.

-I work for the council,

-nine to five.

-In the evenings, when others

-are watching television...

-..I go out into the natural world.

-It's the only place

-that doesn't lie to you.

-I had a man crush on him.

-He's from Porthmadog.

-For the last year,

-he's been living off the land.

-Who knew the beach at Porthmadog

-was like Asda, a one-stop shop.

-All kinds of shellfish

-like oysters and cockles.

-I'd like to see him

-try it in Cardiff.

-He could explore the Taff

-and root out some brown snakes.

-A bit squidgy perhaps, but

-he could do something with them.

-It was nice to have a new voice

-talking about nature.

-Iolo Williams has been

-the voice of nature for years.

-I like a star fire.

-It's low maintenance.

-You can push the wood into it

-slowly.

-It's ideal for cooking.

-Next year, when Trump takes over,

-we'll all be living out of hedges.

-Get used to the idea.

-More firewood and something to eat.

-Gary and Dan and

-their thoughts on documentaries...

-..including Y Dyn Gwyllt.

-Speaking of wild men...

-..we've seen several aspects of

-Iolo Williams' life over the years.

-From his encyclopaedic grasp

-of the natural world...

-..to his encyclopaedic grasp

-of the natural world.

-Few of us knew that he was inspired

-by children's hymns though.

-But now, he's releasing

-a CD of his favourites...

-..and Sam Ar Y Sgrin was there

-backstage when he shot the advert.

-Iolo Williams.

-King of Creation,

-Captain Conservation...

-..friend to all living things.

-Be they insects, snakes or birds.

-This speckled creature

-has changed his tune.

-# I sing like every little bird #

-Natureman's favourite hymns.

-Songs that inspired him

-on his travels through creation.

-Let's not forget the classic.

-# Where no bird suffers any pain #

-What on earth was that?

-What happened there?

-The wife's at it again.

-What have you done?

-That's a jackdaw

-marinated in blackcurrant sauce.

-Jackdaw!

-That's a blackbird

-stuffed with couscous.

-A blackbird!

-And finally, now what was that?

-Hang on a second.

-Yes, that was a wren.

-Yes, that was a wren.

-

-A wren!

-They're everywhere.

-They're everywhere.

-

-Do you want a wing?

-I'm getting out of here,

-I've had enough.

-Gorgeous.

-There you go, a stocking filler.

-Iolo's favourite hymns

-and his wife's favourite recipes.

-I'll be trying a few next year.

-We're nearly at the end

-of our Christmas marathon...

-..but where's Lowri Morgan got to?

-# The final task for Lowri

-is doing nothing at all

-# Home with the family

-on a couch she'll sprawl

-# Cooking lasagne

-and washing all the dishes

-# Putting on weight

-in front of the fire

-# Growing bingo wings

-# Like a couch potato,

-she'll be happy with her world

-# Nothing left to conquer any more #

-Lowri and her bingo wings

-have reached the end of the road.

-That's the end for us too

-but without the bingo wings.

-It's left to me to wish you

-a happy and fruitful new year.

-Goodnight.
