-Good evening, dear nation

-and happy new year!

-I know it's been a week

-but I haven't been idle.

-I've made myself a very nice shirt

-out of a Christmas table cloth.

-I couldn't get the gravy

-off the back.

-I know it's Friday and not Saturday

-at 9.30 as I said before Christmas.

-That was a huge joke, ha ha!

-Before you split your sides...

-..here are the year's

-first five clips.

-I haven't got time

-to faff around on piano.

-The usual James Bond films.

-The usual James Bond films.

-

-Wouldn't kick him out of bed.

-Delights abounded on TV

-over the festive period.

-Favourites returned, like Dr Who.

-We saw the final Downton Abbey.

-"What will we do now?"

-I hear you say. Live, maybe?

-Sherlock, produced by BBC Wales,

-got the best drama viewing figures.

-Mr Holmes!

-I do wish you'd let me know

-when you're planning to come home.

-I hardly knew myself, Mrs Hudson.

-That's the trouble

-with dismembered country squires.

-They're notoriously difficult

-to schedule.

-What's in there?

-What's in there?

-

-Never mind.

-Did you catch a murderer, Mr Holmes?

-Yes, still looking for the legs.

-Call it a draw.

-We also we saw

-plenty of new programmes.

-Amongst them was S4C's new film,

-Pethau Bychain.

-S4C's famous faces

-played versions of themselves.

-Oh, so you're here, now.

-Look at the money I've made!

-# We wish you a merry Christmas #

-# We wish you a merry Christmas #

-

-Don't start that again.

-Do you have permission to be here?

-Do you have permission to be here?

-

-None needed.

-I've got the van.

-I think you need a licence, Dion.

-No, when you've got a van,

-you can move around.

-You should check that out.

-You should check that out.

-

-I have, with Phil Cowboy.

-Most of the response was positive

-apart from one angry viewer!

-"S4C: Pethau Bychain isn't a pearl,

-it's awful. Embarrass.

-"How was it commissioned?

-A waste of actors."

-A waste of actors? They're not dead,

-they're still here.

-Anyway, plenty of S4C's other

-programmes were welcomed.

-Stand up from Elis James,

-Catrin Finch Yn Ethiopia...

-..and Wil, Aeron A'r Inca

-got a very favourable response.

-Eiry Miles tweeted...

-.."Well done, S4C, Wil, Aeron

-A'r Inca is a great programme.

-"Incredible views and two natural,

-likeable presenters."

-I'll eat anything.

-I'm struggling a bit with this.

-I don't want to be rude.

-Oh!

-They're eating it, so we have to.

-Aye.

-There were some surprises

-in Sprogglebox on Channel 4.

-A children's version of Gogglebox.

-We saw brother and sister

-Molly and William from Llandeilo...

-..voicing their opinions

-on the year's programmes.

-You'll be wiped away then a

-crocodile will end up eating you.

-Or, worse, a shark.

-Oh, isn't that cute.

-I wonder what the public in

-Caernarfon watched over Christmas.

-What do you watch on telly?

-What do you watch on telly?

-

-Welsh. That's what I like.

-Like what?

-Like what?

-

-Pobol Y Cwm.

-Nothing in particular.

-Whatever's on.

-Downton Abbey on Christmas Day.

-I enjoy one or two other things too.

-What did you watch on telly

-over Christmas?

-We don't have a television but I

-like to watch you and your teeth.

-The usual James Bond films.

-Got to watch a couple

-of James Bond films.

-And whatever's on really.

-So long as it's not a lot of trash.

-There's a lot of American trash

-coming over.

-We're full of American trash.

-So, James Bond.

-There's no doubt then

-that James Bond is the way forward.

-I wonder if there's a chance

-to resurrect James Pond?

-David Walliams' Billionaire Boy was

-one of New Year's Day's big films.

-It's best to stick to the basics.

-That's Mrs Trafe,

-worst cook in the world...

-..and any parallel worlds.

-Hello, boys. Do you want to know

-about me specials today?

-Not really.

-For starter,

-I've done me chill pilchard soup.

-The pie is kidney and custard,

-and for pud, me raw-onion mousse.

-No, thanks.

-Spam smoothie?

-Just an apple, please, Mrs Trafe.

-Same here, Mrs Trafe.

-Oh, suit yourself.

-She can't ruin those.

-There's a clip from the film.

-It includes an attempt

-to give a schoolteacher...

-..a memorable celebration.

-A celebration that includes

-a performance by Bryn Terfel.

-He sings opera in the road

-with an orchestra outside her house.

-The film Billionaire Boy.

-Bryn, despite not being

-a billionaire yet, gives his all.

-On to the new year. A number of

-documentaries have already started.

-One of them is Bywyd Y Fet.

-This harks back to the time

-of the late-lamented Mil O Alwadau.

-Since the golden age

-of Huw the vet...

-..things like the watershed

-have surfaced.

-That's the moral line...

-..that no nudity or offensive

-content can be shown before nine.

-To that list, can I add prolapses,

-Caesareans and castrating dogs?

-Nell has worked at Wern

-for three years...

-..and is an experienced surgeon.

-The first step

-is to anaesthetize the dog.

-Hannah will keep an eye on Oli

-while he's anaesthetized.

-WHINES

-While preparing Oli, Nell

-notices something rather unusual.

-This usually falls out.

-It's a temporary baby tooth.

-They usually fall out

-when they're six months old.

-It's better to extract it. Food is

-getting stuck between the teeth.

-It will cause problems.

-BUZZING

-After the anaesthetic, Oli

-will be unconscious for an hour.

-Siriol tweeted...

-..that Bywyd Y Fet was one

-prolapse too many for her.

-One prolapse

-is too many for everyone!

-Dewi Meirion on the other hand

-wants to see more prolapses, maybe.

-He enjoyed Bywyd Y Fet on S4C.

-It reminded him of his childhood.

-"I loved going to see operations."

-Didn't you have toys, Dewi?

-By the way, if you thought 8.30pm

-is too early for such things...

-..the repeat

-was at lunchtime, yesterday.

-Whatever floats your boat!

-It's hard to think of a bigger

-change in circumstances...

-..than that undergone

-by Keith Williams of Penygroes.

-Alun went to speak to him about

-his new sultanesque lifestyle.

-My name is Keith Williams.

-When I was 13,

-my mother told me I was adopted.

-I didn't think anything of it.

-I never would have thought

-I was related to a royal family...

-..from the other side of the world.

-It's an incredible story

-and an incredible programme.

-For people who haven't seen it,

-can you tell them a little about it?

-Basically, a boy

-raised in a small village...

-..a small Welsh-speaking village...

-..who finds out his father

-is a sultan in Malaysia.

-I'm a lucky guy,

-well, I say lucky.

-My mother and father

-did a good job of raising me.

-There's no question of that.

-There's never been a question.

-I've never wanted for anything.

-My mother told me when I was 13

-that I was adopted.

-I was raised well.

-I was an only child.

-I never wanted for anything,

-didn't have any problems.

-Once I got a family,

-my daughter asked me...

-.."Don't you want to know

-what happened to your mother?"

-"I'm happy", I said.

-After she said this...

-..my wife and I decided

-to see what we could find out.

-We went up to the records in London.

-Everything was there.

-It said the father was Malayan.

-At that point, I was keen

-to find out more about him.

-I sent letters out to Malaysia

-and hit a brick wall.

-The Royal household sent a letter

-back, ignoring me initially.

-Anyway, we needed perseverance.

-I turned the page.

-I saw the words, "the father

-of the child is a Malayan."

-"A married man with a family."

-The big question, Keith,

-is how do you feel about all this?

-The whole thing, when you try

-to explain to someone...

-..you still feel

-that it's overwhelming.

-It's like something

-out of a fantasy land.

-That's what it looks like.

-A young boy brought up in a village

-finding this out.

-I've been brought up

-as an only child.

-I found out that my biological

-mother had three children.

-Two girls living in America,

-and a son.

-And then I found out about Malaysia.

-It's clean off.

-To think my father comes

-from the other side of the world.

-There's a lot of water between us.

-That really shook me up.

-It's hard to take in.

-Many people have told me...

-..it's such an intriguing story

-you could make a film out of it.

-You could definitely

-make a book out of it.

-Keith, one thing is certain,

-it's an incredible story.

-Thanks very much

-for sharing it with us.

-No problem.

-Gareth Charles,

-himself of Penygroes, tweeted...

-.."Fy Nhad Y Swltan on S4C,

-Keith Y Glo!

-"The best Welsh

-I've heard for ages."

-Arthur Dafis added that

-it was an incredible programme.

-"Well worth watching.

-Well done, S4C."

-Alun chatting with Keith Williams

-from Fy Nhad Y Swltan.

-It was on Wednesday on S4C.

-You can see it on Clic.

-Miss Wales Emma Jenkins has been

-living a sultanesque life...

-..in the Miss World harem in China.

-Emma isn't the only member

-of the Sam Ar Y Sgrin pen...

-..to leave their mark

-on national competitions.

-Does this competitor...

-..from the Most Eligible Bachelor UK

-2004 look familiar?

-No, it isn't me!

-I never thought

-I'd reach the last ten.

-When Tara announced the last ten...

-..I was talking

-to one of the other bachelors.

-We both shared a joke

-and then she said my name.

-And I thought,

-"No, no, she didn't say Alun."

-She said it twice

-and then I walked off.

-It's just like a dream.

-It's incredible.

-As well as the 600 girls

-in the audience...

-..presenter Tara Palmer-Tomkinson

-had her eye on Alun.

-I just thought he was so nice.

-He's sexy.

-I wouldn't kick him out of bed.

-A clip from Heno's golden archive!

-Alun reached the final round

-of UK's Most Eligible Bachelor 2004.

-To the thousands, or millions, who

-managed to kick him out of bed...

-..he'll be back after the break!

-What do you mean,

-where's the other one?

-There is only one.

-You need to put both feet

-in the same slipper.

-No, take it out.

-Take your feet out

-to go to the kitchen.

-Or just hop.

-It's no wonder

-the tea's all over the carpet.

-I've no time for this.

-I have to hop back to the programme.

-Welcome back to the masterpiece.

-The words 'wild man' could be used

-to describe hundreds of us.

-But on S4C, it's a description

-of Carwyn Jones from Caernarfon.

-He decided to live on the land,

-and nothing else, for a week...

-..and forage or kill

-everything he ate.

-I'm looking for cockles.

-I don't want to miss them.

-Disappointing.

-Someone has already been here.

-Visitors come, whole families,

-and take the lot.

-Come here, Gwen.

-Here we are.

-These are mussels.

-There's a saying

-about Porthmadog folk...

-..that they're

-"whores, thieves and mussel eaters."

-I need more of these.

-I'm only taking what I need.

-I want to come back another time.

-Winkles are fiddly to eat.

-They're great.

-I'll gather a few of these.

-Y Dyn Gwyllt was shown last night

-at 9.30pm. You can watch it online.

-BBC Cymru Wales' Horizons/Gorwelion

-project is about to start again.

-Twelve bands from Wales will be able

-to record at Maida Vale Studios.

-Tonight, six of 2015's bands are

-on a programme with Huw Stephens.

-Alun, runner-up of Britain's Most

-Eligible Bachelor competition...

-..talked to him at Maida Vale.

-Today, I've accepted an invitation

-to come to Maida Vale...

-..to record my new album.

-So off we go!

-PLAYS YANKEE DOODLE ON PIANO

-Alun, what are you doing?!

-Alun, what are you doing?!

-

-Hey, Huw!

-We don't have time

-to faff around on the piano.

-You're here to interview me.

-You're here to interview me.

-

-Interview Huw Stephens.

-I knew there was another reason

-for coming.

-Yes, I've been invited to the famous

-Maida Vale Studios in London.

-Since the 1930s,

-the studios have attracted...

-..some of the world's

-biggest artists.

-Bing Crosby, The Beatles,

-Oasis, Nirvana and Stereophonics.

-Everyone who is anyone in

-the music world has recorded here.

-But you'll be glad to know

-that I'm not here to record...

-..but to learn about Huw Stephens'

-new programme on S4C...

-..Gorwelion: Sesiynau Maida Vale.

-Well, Huw Stephens.

-Let's start with Horizons/Gorwelion.

-For people who don't know much about

-the project, can you tell us more?

-It's been going for about two years.

-It's a collaboration between the BBC

-and the Arts Council of Wales.

-They choose 12 bands or artists

-and support them for a year.

-They give them opportunities to play

-on the radio, in gigs, in festivals.

-They also come to London's

-world-famous Maida Vale Studios.

-They record a session here.

-Are they famous bands or bands

-no-one has really heard about?

-Emerging bands.

-Some people will have heard of them

-- artists such as Aled Rheon...

-..Delyth McLean from Merthyr,

-Yr Eira, Mellt, HMS Morris...

-..and Welsh bands

-who sing in English...

-..like Violet Skies, Peasant's King,

-Cut Ribbons from Llanelli.

-Fantastic bands.

-It's great that the project exists.

-Bethan Elfyn is responsible

-for it all. It's a great success.

-And they can come here,

-where there's so much history.

-Yes, it's an iconic place.

-All BBC news came from here

-during World War Two.

-When London was being bombed.

-This building was bombed

-but it was rebuilt.

-The sessions recorded here

-are just incredible.

-Think of a band

-and they will have recorded here.

-This is where

-the Radiophonic Workshop recorded...

-..so this is where all

-the Doctor Who music was composed.

-Plays were recorded here.

-These studios were built to create

-a fantastic sound. That's important.

-It isn't modern or fashionable,

-it's old-fashioned.

-But you can feel

-that it's a special place.

-The taxi pulled up and the driver

-said, "Alright, here you go."

-I looked out and thought,

-"Is this it?"

-From outside, it doesn't look much,

-yet it's so iconic.

-Yes, it was built underground

-and it's in a quiet area...

-..so people are surprised

-when they get here.

-But once the band's here

-and the amps are plugged in...

-..and the sound men make everything

-work on the mixing desk...

-..the sound produced

-will rival any studio in the world.

-This place is world-famous because

-so many bands have recorded here.

-# Who are you?

-# Who are you? Saviour of the world

-# We are all under the same moon #

-Live Lounge as well, of course.

-Live Lounge as well, of course.

-

-Live Lounge comes here sometimes.

-It usually happens at Radio 1,

-where I do my show.

-But if we have a band with more

-equipment, lots of members...

-..or a choir, they come here.

-To this small studio?

-Yes, but also in the big studio -

-Maida Vale 3.

-That's where Bing Crosby

-made his last recording.

-I think he died a few days later,

-on a golf course I think.

-In Spain!

-He recorded here as well.

-There's a plaque on the wall.

-There is,

-and a photo of The Beatles...

-..and a photo of John Peel as well

-outside the studio next door.

-Between the 1960s

-and his death in the 2000s...

-..bands came here

-to record sessions for him weekly.

-Huw, I appreciate you giving

-your time. I know you're busy.

-I hope you've enjoyed Maida Vale.

-Are you going to do a session?

-Yeah! Of course.

-Gorwelion: Sesiynau Maida Vale

-after the news tonight at 9.30pm.

-The long-awaited War And Peace

-started on BBC last Sunday...

-..and will be available on iPlayer

-for a while yet...

-..for those of you

-who want to follow Byw Celwydd.

-American Paul Dano, controversially

-cast in the main role...

-..is known for Little Miss Sunshine,

-Knight And Day...

-..and 12 Years A Slave.

-But he proved himself

-in the first episode.

-It was lovely to see Aneurin Barnard

-starring amongst such big names.

-Look.

-Would you like to kiss me, Boris?

-Um. I'm a little old for you,

-don't you think?

-There. Now we're engaged.

-Don't look so horrified!

-Gwilym Euros Davies tweeted, "Lack

-of Russian accent already annoying.

-"#WarAndPeace"

-Where would you take that, Gwil?

-It would be like a sketch - speaking

-English with a Russian accent!

-I'd be happy watching it

-in Russian with subtitles...

-..but I also accept I'm odd.

-There's nothing odd about Byw

-Celwydd, apart from the title maybe.

-Here's a clip from the next episode.

-Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone

-who's put their confidence in me.

-Thank you for your support.

-Thank you for your faith.

-Tom?

-Tom? Go after them.

-Disappointed or not,

-what you just did was unforgivable.

-It was your moment.

-It was your moment.

-

-If the shoe was on the other foot...

-..I'd have supported you.

-Tell him to go.

-There's no story here

-and no further comment.

-Can I hear them say that?

-Cut me some slack, will you?

-As a favour to your wife.

-Byw Celwydd was a big hit

-with Berwyn Rowlands.

-He tweeted, "Very good start.

-Byw Celwydd most enjoyable.

-"@rwharries was excellent.

-"Sunday night sorted. New S4C drama

-based in Cardiff Bay was excellent."

-Glenn Page agreed.

-It was a good start, especially

-as it was the first episode.

-Great. Can't wait for the next one.

-That's it - the first whopper

-of the year bites the dust.

-We'll be back next week.

-Until then, goodnight.
