0:00:20 > 0:00:22But, being a Welsh girl through and through,
0:00:22 > 0:00:25when the BBC asked would I do a Christmas show
0:00:25 > 0:00:29including special guests such as Michael Ball and Only Boys Aloud,
0:00:29 > 0:00:33I said, "Yes, of course, but I want it to be really Welsh."
0:00:35 > 0:00:40'Ladies and gentlemen, from the Wales Millennium Centre,

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Welcome to the Really Welsh Christmas Show with me,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Sophie Evans, and the wonderful BBC National Orchestra of Wales,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13conducted by Mr Grant Llewellyn.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15APPLAUSE
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I sang it on the TV show Over The Rainbow,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24and it was a song that I sang in the final.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27It's from the Disney film Mulan, this is Reflection.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36# Look at me
0:03:36 > 0:03:41# You may think you see who I really am
0:03:41 > 0:03:44# But you'll never know me
0:03:44 > 0:03:49# Every day, it's as if I play a part
0:03:50 > 0:03:58# Now I see, if I wear a mask I can fool the world
0:03:58 > 0:04:02# But I cannot fool my heart
0:04:06 > 0:04:10# Who is that girl I see
0:04:10 > 0:04:15# Staring straight back at me?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19# Why is my reflection
0:04:19 > 0:04:24# Someone I don't know?
0:04:24 > 0:04:29# Must I pretend that I'm
0:04:29 > 0:04:34# Someone else for all time?
0:04:34 > 0:04:39# When will my reflection show
0:04:39 > 0:04:43# Who I am inside?
0:04:43 > 0:04:50# There's a heart that must be free to fly
0:04:51 > 0:04:56# That burns with a need to know
0:04:56 > 0:05:01# The reason why
0:05:01 > 0:05:05# Why must we all conceal
0:05:05 > 0:05:10# What we think, how we feel?
0:05:10 > 0:05:16# When will my reflection show
0:05:16 > 0:05:23# Who I am inside?
0:05:23 > 0:05:31# When will my reflection show
0:05:31 > 0:05:39# Who I am inside? #
0:05:43 > 0:05:44APPLAUSE
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I really love Christmas.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59One of the most important things to me at this time of year is
0:05:59 > 0:06:03being at home with my family, doing traditional family things.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Do you remember making that, Soph?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10No, but it's why I stuck to singing, not making things.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11You were only about four.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14It looks more like a chimney than Father Christmas.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- What do you think? I think we've just about finished.- Yep.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Well, Mum, I know you've always wanted to do this,
0:06:20 > 0:06:22would you like to introduce the next song for me.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Yes, I will.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Next on the Really Welsh Christmas Show,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29singing a gorgeous Christmas classic, it's Michael Ball.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36# Christmas future is far away
0:06:36 > 0:06:39# Christmas past is past
0:06:41 > 0:06:46# Christmas present is here today
0:06:46 > 0:06:52# Bringing joy that will last
0:06:54 > 0:06:59# Have yourself a merry little Christmas
0:06:59 > 0:07:04# May your heart be light
0:07:06 > 0:07:08# From now on

0:07:18 > 0:07:24# Have yourself a merry little Christmas
0:07:24 > 0:07:28# Make the Yuletide gay
0:07:29 > 0:07:31# From now on
0:07:31 > 0:07:38# Our troubles will be miles away
0:07:40 > 0:07:45# Here we are as in olden days
0:07:45 > 0:07:50# Happy golden days of yore
0:07:50 > 0:07:55# Faithful friends who are dear to us
0:07:55 > 0:08:01# Gather near to us once more
0:08:03 > 0:08:05# Through the years
0:08:05 > 0:08:08# We all will be together
0:08:08 > 0:08:12# If the fates allow
0:08:13 > 0:08:21# But till then we'll try to muddle through somehow
0:08:24 > 0:08:32# And have yourself a merry little Christmas
0:08:51 > 0:08:55# For here we are as in olden days
0:08:55 > 0:09:01# Happy golden days of yore
0:09:01 > 0:09:05# Faithful friends who are dear to us
0:09:05 > 0:09:09# Gather near to us once more
0:09:09 > 0:09:14# Once more
0:09:14 > 0:09:16# Through the years
0:09:16 > 0:09:18# We all will be together
0:09:18 > 0:09:24# If the fates allow
0:09:24 > 0:09:32# Hang a shining star above the highest bough and
0:09:34 > 0:09:42# Have yourself a merry little Christmas
0:09:46 > 0:09:53# Now. #
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Merry Christmas.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13- You look fabulous. - Thank you very much.- Very nice.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Michael, that was amazing. Really getting us in the Christmas mood.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Oh, thank you.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21I've been doing my research on you, you weren't born in Wales but...
0:10:21 > 0:10:26No, I'm Welsh on my mother's side and sadly English on my father's.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Aw!- But I've always thought of myself...
0:10:29 > 0:10:35- If it comes to rugby, if it comes to war, I'm a Welshman.- Yes! Come on!
0:10:35 > 0:10:39And, of course, any talent I have at singing is entirely down to
0:10:39 > 0:10:40the Welsh side of the family.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Exactly, yes. We can all sing.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I've been looking forward to this part of the show where
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- I get to sing with you. - That's very kind.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- I've heard you've done this song before.- Yes.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51It's one of my favourite songs.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54The challenge for me was singing in Italian.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56It's called The Prayer because it simply is that.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00I thought it would be so appropriate to sing it at this time of year.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I can't think of anybody I'd rather sing it with at this very moment.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Same. Let's do it. - All right, lovely.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07APPLAUSE
0:11:26 > 0:11:33# I pray you'll be our eyes
0:11:33 > 0:11:39# And watch us where we go
0:11:39 > 0:11:45# And help us to be wise
0:11:45 > 0:11:52# In times when we don't know
0:11:52 > 0:11:57# Let this be our prayer
0:11:57 > 0:12:04# When we lose our way
0:12:07 > 0:12:10# Lead us to a place
0:12:10 > 0:12:14# Guide us with your grace
0:12:14 > 0:12:22# To a place where we'll be safe

0:12:51 > 0:12:53# Let this be our prayer
0:12:53 > 0:12:56# Quanta fede c'e
0:12:56 > 0:13:00# When shadows fill our day
0:13:01 > 0:13:05# Lead us to a place
0:13:05 > 0:13:09# Guide us with your grace
0:13:09 > 0:13:17# Give us faith so we'll be safe

0:17:32 > 0:17:34It was On A Starry Night.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I knew from that early age,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40you were going to be a star and a West End performer.

0:18:03 > 0:18:08# And the whole world is on your case
0:18:09 > 0:18:15# I could offer you a warm embrace
0:18:15 > 0:18:19# To make you feel my love
0:18:22 > 0:18:29# When the evening shadows and the stars appear
0:18:29 > 0:18:35# And there is no-one there to dry your tears
0:18:36 > 0:18:42# I will hold you for a million years
0:18:42 > 0:18:46# To make you feel my love
0:18:49 > 0:18:56# I know you haven't made your mind up yet
0:18:56 > 0:18:59# But I would never do you wrong
0:19:02 > 0:19:09# I've known it from the moment that we met
0:19:09 > 0:19:14# There's no doubt in my mind where you belong
0:19:16 > 0:19:23# I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
0:19:23 > 0:19:29# I'd go crawling down the avenue
0:19:30 > 0:19:37# No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
0:19:37 > 0:19:42# To make you feel my love
0:19:48 > 0:19:56# Ooooh
0:20:06 > 0:20:10# To make you feel my love
0:20:13 > 0:20:19# The storms are raging on the rolling seas
0:20:19 > 0:20:24# And on that highway of regret
0:20:27 > 0:20:33# Though winds of change are blowing wild and free
0:20:33 > 0:20:38# You ain't seen nothing like me yet
0:20:41 > 0:20:43# I could make you happy
0:20:43 > 0:20:47# Make your dreams come true
0:20:47 > 0:20:52# No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
0:20:54 > 0:21:00# I'd go to the ends of the Earth for you
0:21:01 > 0:21:06# To make you feel my love
0:21:09 > 0:21:17# To make you feel my love. #

0:21:49 > 0:21:50Can you tell us what a year you've had?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52We've had an absolutely fantastic year.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54We came third on Britain's Got Talent.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56That was at the start of the year
0:21:56 > 0:21:58and over the summer we recorded an album, which is out now.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00So it's generally been an amazing year.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Amazing. So I know you're singing a song for us this evening.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04What will you be singing?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06We're going to be singing a song by John Lennon.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07It's a peace song,

0:26:54 > 0:26:57APPLAUSE
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Christmas is a time for giving presents
0:27:10 > 0:27:12and going to see old friends.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I'm about to call in and have a chat with somebody
0:27:15 > 0:27:17whom I'm sure you'll recognise.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Not that you need any introduction, Mr Des O'Connor.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24THEY LAUGH
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Thank you so much for letting us into your beautiful home today.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30No, it's... I'm keeping a welcome for you. It makes a change.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31You're an absolute legend,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34and I had an amazing time performing with you at the Palladium.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36You were my Wizard and I was your Dorothy.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39It was fun, wasn't it? And you were very helpful. Shall we tell them?
0:27:39 > 0:27:43There was an opening song. Oh, it was a very difficult song to sing.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Oh, yeah.- I said, "I'm never going to remember all these words.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49I'm going to stick some words on you in case, make sure you turn
0:27:49 > 0:27:51it the right way, and not show the audience."
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Remember the time where someone had forgotten to put
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- the book on stage with the words in? - Yes. I do.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59It was the first time I sang the song in Japanese.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01THEY LAUGH
0:28:01 > 0:28:02You're so funny!
0:28:02 > 0:28:05And you were very helpful, you know, people said to me,
0:28:05 > 0:28:07"She'll learn a lot from you." I learned a lot from YOU.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11It was amazing. I only had 25 to 30 minutes, something like that.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13You were on non-stop.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15How long did it take you to get to the Palladium
0:28:15 > 0:28:17from finishing at theatre school?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Well... Oh. Six months.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Six months? Hmm. Took me slightly longer.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Took me 17 years to get to the Palladium.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28And then it took me another 12 years to become top of the bill.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30And there you were, you know, splattered all round the theatre.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34What will your Christmas Day consist of, do you think?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Well, I'll be woken up around about 5.45
0:28:36 > 0:28:39by a little fella called Adam, who is eight.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42And then I might, I just might cook.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43- You might cook?- Yeah.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Not a turkey cos I remember once they sent me
0:28:46 > 0:28:48one that looked like an albatross.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49THEY LAUGH
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Needed Vaseline to get it in the oven, you know.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55I'll probably do a chicken, a nice roast chicken.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57We are going to have a few of the family round.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- And so it'll be a nice thing to do. I can cook a bit.- You can?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Well, I've got a little gift for you.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03I'll let you open it early
0:29:03 > 0:29:06as I think it will come in handy on Christmas Day.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07What, for the cooking?
0:29:07 > 0:29:09For the cooking. There is a bit of Welsh in there as well.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13A bit of Welsh? Let's have a look what we've got here. What is it? Oh!
0:29:13 > 0:29:15It's an apron of some sort.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- Exactly.- Wear that, forget the naked chef, Des.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21You know the famous Welsh song Bread Of Heaven.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23SINGING
0:29:23 > 0:29:24# Bread of heaven
0:29:24 > 0:29:25# Bread of heaven
0:29:25 > 0:29:28# Feed me till I want no more... #
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Feed me till I want no more!
0:29:30 > 0:29:32And it'll just remind you on Christmas Day of a bit
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- of Welshness with the Welsh Dragon there.- Well, that's lovely.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Thank you very much, Wales. And thank you very much, Sophie.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39That's all right, no worries.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- Are you going to sing? - I am going to sing.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44I've got a kind of running theme in the programme where
0:29:44 > 0:29:46I ask people to introduce the songs for me.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- Would you do the honour?- Of course I would! It'd be a pleasure.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- And you're going to sing a Gershwin song?- I am.- Good choice.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54She sings it beautifully.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Ladies and gentlemen, here's Sophie singing Someone To Watch Over Me.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02# There's a saying old
0:30:02 > 0:30:04# Says that love is blind
0:30:05 > 0:30:08# Still we're often told
0:30:08 > 0:30:12# "Seek and ye shall find"
0:30:12 > 0:30:15# So I'm going to
0:30:15 > 0:30:20# Seek a certain lad I've had
0:30:20 > 0:30:23# In mind
0:30:26 > 0:30:29# Looking everywhere
0:30:29 > 0:30:31# Haven't found him yet
0:30:32 > 0:30:39# He's the big affair I cannot forget
0:30:39 > 0:30:43# Only man I ever
0:30:43 > 0:30:46# Think of with regret
0:30:52 > 0:30:56# I'd like to add his initial
0:30:56 > 0:31:00# To my monogram
0:31:02 > 0:31:08# Tell me where is the shepherd
0:31:08 > 0:31:14# For his lost lamb
0:31:17 > 0:31:22# There's a somebody I'm longing to see
0:31:22 > 0:31:27# I hope that he
0:31:27 > 0:31:31# Turns out to be
0:31:31 > 0:31:39# Someone to watch over me
0:31:44 > 0:31:50# Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
0:31:50 > 0:31:54# Follow my lead
0:31:54 > 0:31:58# Oh, how I need
0:31:58 > 0:32:06# Someone to watch over me
0:32:29 > 0:32:35# Although he may not be the man
0:32:35 > 0:32:41# Some girls think of as handsome
0:32:41 > 0:32:48# To my heart he'll carry the key
0:32:54 > 0:32:59# Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
0:32:59 > 0:33:03# Follow my lead
0:33:03 > 0:33:07# Oh, how I need
0:33:07 > 0:33:15# Someone to watch over me
0:33:21 > 0:33:29# Someone to watch over me
0:33:34 > 0:33:42# Waiting for the boy who's going to watch over me. #
0:33:45 > 0:33:48APPLAUSE
0:33:51 > 0:33:58That was Sophie Evans singing Someone To Watch Over Me.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04How does Father Christmas it into your house on Christmas Day?
0:34:05 > 0:34:08He probably brings a fairy with him.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- A fairy?- Yes.- Or string.
0:34:11 > 0:34:17- He's got special powers to get down the chimney.- He's got fairy dust!
0:34:17 > 0:34:21Fairy dust makes you fly! Not shrink!
0:34:21 > 0:34:25He could just like get a reindeer to go down the chimney,
0:34:25 > 0:34:29and then grab the keys and just bring it out.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33That's probably what he does. You figured it out.
0:34:33 > 0:34:40I have got a chimney but the fire's on.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42THEY GIGGLE
0:34:42 > 0:34:44SHE WHISPERS AND THEY GIGGLE
0:34:44 > 0:34:49Next on The Really Welsh Christmas Show is Mr Al Lewis.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59# Now you might say
0:34:59 > 0:35:02# What difference do they make
0:35:02 > 0:35:05# These small little things?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10# The truth be told
0:35:10 > 0:35:12# Well, they weigh
0:35:12 > 0:35:15# Heavy on my shoulders
0:35:15 > 0:35:17# Small little things
0:35:17 > 0:35:20# These small little things
0:35:20 > 0:35:23# But all I know
0:35:23 > 0:35:29# And maybe it's the wrong way to go
0:35:31 > 0:35:33# So are we simply
0:35:33 > 0:35:37# Treading water
0:35:37 > 0:35:40# Whilst looking out for
0:35:40 > 0:35:43# Something better?
0:35:43 > 0:35:46# Are we simply
0:35:46 > 0:35:49# Treading water?
0:35:49 > 0:35:52# When maybe what we need
0:35:52 > 0:35:56# Is a simple change of scene
0:35:56 > 0:36:00# But just like fireflies
0:36:00 > 0:36:04# We're burning so brightly
0:36:04 > 0:36:07# But running out of time
0:36:09 > 0:36:13# Aaaahhh
0:36:29 > 0:36:32# So are we simply
0:36:32 > 0:36:35# Treading water
0:36:35 > 0:36:38# Whilst looking out for
0:36:38 > 0:36:41# Something better?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45# Are we simply
0:36:45 > 0:36:49# Treading water?
0:36:49 > 0:36:53# Maybe all we need
0:36:53 > 0:36:59# Is a simple change of scene. #
0:37:14 > 0:37:17APPLAUSE
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Well, next on The Really Welsh Christmas Show,

0:37:25 > 0:37:28please welcome back Mr Michael Ball.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30APPLAUSE
0:37:41 > 0:37:43# Love
0:37:43 > 0:37:46# Love changes everything
0:37:46 > 0:37:49# Hands and faces
0:37:49 > 0:37:50# Earth and sky
0:37:52 > 0:37:54# Love
0:37:54 > 0:37:57# Love changes everything
0:37:57 > 0:38:00# How you live and
0:38:00 > 0:38:02# How you die
0:38:04 > 0:38:08# Love can make the summer fly
0:38:08 > 0:38:13# Or a night seem like a lifetime
0:38:14 > 0:38:16# Yes, love
0:38:16 > 0:38:19# Love changes everything
0:38:19 > 0:38:22# Now I tremble
0:38:22 > 0:38:25# At your name
0:38:25 > 0:38:33# Nothing in the world will ever be the same
0:38:36 > 0:38:38# Love
0:38:38 > 0:38:40# Love changes everything
0:38:40 > 0:38:43# Days are longer
0:38:43 > 0:38:46# Words mean more
0:38:47 > 0:38:49# Love
0:38:49 > 0:38:52# Love changes everything
0:38:52 > 0:38:56# Pain is deeper than before
0:38:57 > 0:39:02# Love will turn your world around
0:39:02 > 0:39:07# And that world will last for ever
0:39:07 > 0:39:09# Yes, love
0:39:09 > 0:39:12# Love changes everything
0:39:12 > 0:39:14# Brings you glory
0:39:14 > 0:39:18# Brings you shame
0:39:18 > 0:39:26# Nothing in the world will ever be the same
0:39:38 > 0:39:42# Off in to the world we go
0:39:42 > 0:39:44# Planning futures
0:39:44 > 0:39:47# Shaping years
0:39:47 > 0:39:52# Love bursts in and suddenly
0:39:52 > 0:39:57# All our wisdom disappears
0:39:57 > 0:40:02# Love makes fools of everyone
0:40:02 > 0:40:07# For the rules we make are broken
0:40:07 > 0:40:09# Yes, love
0:40:09 > 0:40:12# Love changes everyone
0:40:12 > 0:40:18# Live or perish in its flame
0:40:18 > 0:40:21# Love will never, never let you
0:40:21 > 0:40:27# Be the same
0:40:27 > 0:40:30# Love will never, never let you
0:40:30 > 0:40:33# Be...
0:40:33 > 0:40:36# the...
0:40:36 > 0:40:44# same. #
0:40:47 > 0:40:49APPLAUSE
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Well, that's nearly the end of the show but before our last song,
0:40:59 > 0:41:01let me leave you with this little thought.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05It's the most wonderful time of the year, so why not have some chestnuts
0:41:05 > 0:41:09roasting on an open fire, whilst walking in a winter wonderland?
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Do have yourself a merry little Christmas
0:41:12 > 0:41:15and may all your Christmases be Welsh.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Merry Christmas!
0:41:20 > 0:41:28# I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
0:41:28 > 0:41:35# Just like the ones I used to know
0:41:36 > 0:41:41# Where the treetops glisten
0:41:41 > 0:41:45# And children listen
0:41:45 > 0:41:52# To hear sleigh bells in the snow
0:41:55 > 0:42:03# I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
0:42:04 > 0:42:10# With every Christmas card I write
0:42:11 > 0:42:19# May your days be merry and bright
0:42:20 > 0:42:28# And may all your Christmases be white
0:42:32 > 0:42:40# I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
0:42:41 > 0:42:48# Just like the ones I used to know
0:42:48 > 0:42:53# Where the treetops glisten
0:42:53 > 0:42:58# And children listen
0:42:58 > 0:43:04# To hear sleigh bells in the snow
0:43:08 > 0:43:16# I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
0:43:17 > 0:43:24# With every Christmas I write
0:43:24 > 0:43:32# May your days be merry and bright
0:43:36 > 0:43:44# And may all your Christmases be white. #
