Hi. I'm Sophie Evans and this is Tonypandy where I grew up. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:09 | |
I've had an amazing few years since being on the Over The Rainbow show, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
and I left Tonypandy for London, | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
playing Dorothy eight shows a week here at the London Palladium. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:20 | |
But, being a Welsh girl through and through, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
when the BBC asked would I do a Christmas show | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
including special guests such as Michael Ball and Only Boys Aloud, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
I said, "Yes, of course, but I want it to be really Welsh." | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
'Ladies and gentlemen, from the Wales Millennium Centre, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
'this is The Really Welsh Christmas Show.' | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |

Welcome to the Really Welsh Christmas Show with me, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
Sophie Evans, and the wonderful BBC National Orchestra of Wales, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
conducted by Mr Grant Llewellyn. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |

I sang it on the TV show Over The Rainbow, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
and it was a song that I sang in the final. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
It's from the Disney film Mulan, this is Reflection. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
# Look at me | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
# You may think you see who I really am | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
# But you'll never know me | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
# Every day, it's as if I play a part | 0:03:44 | 0:03:49 | |
# Now I see, if I wear a mask I can fool the world | 0:03:50 | 0:03:58 | |
# But I cannot fool my heart | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
# Who is that girl I see | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
# Staring straight back at me? | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
# Why is my reflection | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
# Someone I don't know? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:24 | |
# Must I pretend that I'm | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
# Someone else for all time? | 0:04:29 | 0:04:34 | |
# When will my reflection show | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
# Who I am inside? | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
# There's a heart that must be free to fly | 0:04:43 | 0:04:50 | |
# That burns with a need to know | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
# The reason why | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
# Why must we all conceal | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
# What we think, how we feel? | 0:05:05 | 0:05:10 | |
# When will my reflection show | 0:05:10 | 0:05:16 | |
# Who I am inside? | 0:05:16 | 0:05:23 | |
# When will my reflection show | 0:05:23 | 0:05:31 | |
# Who I am inside? # | 0:05:31 | 0:05:39 | |

I really love Christmas. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
One of the most important things to me at this time of year is | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
being at home with my family, doing traditional family things. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
Do you remember making that, Soph? | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
No, but it's why I stuck to singing, not making things. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
You were only about four. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:11 | |
It looks more like a chimney than Father Christmas. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
-What do you think? I think we've just about finished. -Yep. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
Well, Mum, I know you've always wanted to do this, | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
would you like to introduce the next song for me. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
Yes, I will. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
Next on the Really Welsh Christmas Show, | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
singing a gorgeous Christmas classic, it's Michael Ball. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |

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

This is my old primary school in Cwmclydach, Tonypandy. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
I'm just going to pop in, say hello, | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
and ask the children here what they think about Christmas. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
THE CHILDREN SING | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
This is where I used to do all my concerts. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
Brings back a lot of memories. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
I think I was one of the angels. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
What does Father Christmas do on Christmas Day? | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
-Bring presents. -Uh-huh. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
-If you're naughty, he doesn't give presents. -Have you been naughty? | 0:16:09 | 0:16:14 | |

Shhh! | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
Miss is on the telly. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
This is Mrs Duncan, who was one of my teachers | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
here at Cwmclydach Junior School. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
And I just want to say how | 0:17:22 | 0:17:23 | |
fond my memories are of my Christmas concerts here. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
I'm very proud of you, Sophie. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
And I'll always remember the very first song you sang. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
It was On A Starry Night. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
I knew from that early age, | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
you were going to be a star and a West End performer. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
Thank you. Would you mind introducing my next song for me? | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
I certainly will, Sophie. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
The next song Sophie is going to sing for us tonight | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
is a song sung by Bob Dylan and Adele. Make You Feel My Love. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:54 | |
# When the rain is blowing in your face | 0:17:57 | 0:18:03 | |
# And the whole world is on your case | 0:18:03 | 0:18:08 | |
# I could offer you a warm embrace | 0:18:09 | 0:18:15 | |
# To make you feel my love | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
# When the evening shadows and the stars appear | 0:18:22 | 0:18:29 | |
# And there is no-one there to dry your tears | 0:18:29 | 0:18:35 | |
# I will hold you for a million years | 0:18:36 | 0:18:42 | |
# To make you feel my love | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
# I know you haven't made your mind up yet | 0:18:49 | 0:18:56 | |
# But I would never do you wrong | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
# I've known it from the moment that we met | 0:19:02 | 0:19:09 | |
# There's no doubt in my mind where you belong | 0:19:09 | 0:19:14 | |
# I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue | 0:19:16 | 0:19:23 | |
# I'd go crawling down the avenue | 0:19:23 | 0:19:29 | |
# No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do | 0:19:30 | 0:19:37 | |
# To make you feel my love | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
# Ooooh | 0:19:48 | 0:19:56 | |
# To make you feel my love | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
# The storms are raging on the rolling seas | 0:20:13 | 0:20:19 | |
# And on that highway of regret | 0:20:19 | 0:20:24 | |

# You ain't seen nothing like me yet | 0:20:33 | 0:20:38 | |
# I could make you happy | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |

# No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do | 0:20:47 | 0:20:52 | |
# I'd go to the ends of the Earth for you | 0:20:54 | 0:21:00 | |

Well, I've had a wonderful year | 0:21:39 | 0:21:40 | |
and here are two boys who've also had a wonderful year. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
Do you want to introduce yourselves. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:44 | |
-I'm Ifan and I'm from Pencoed. -I'm Gareth from Llandeilo. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
Obviously, you're from Only Boys Aloud. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
Can you tell us what a year you've had? | 0:21:49 | 0:21:50 | |
We've had an absolutely fantastic year. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
We came third on Britain's Got Talent. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
That was at the start of the year | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
and over the summer we recorded an album, which is out now. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
So it's generally been an amazing year. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
Amazing. So I know you're singing a song for us this evening. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
What will you be singing? | 0:22:03 | 0:22:04 | |
We're going to be singing a song by John Lennon. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
It's a peace song, | 0:22:06 | 0:22:07 | |
written originally about the Vietnam War and it's very relevant to today. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
-Well, here it is. -Happy Christmas. -War Is Over. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
# And so this is Christmas | 0:22:17 | 0:22:22 | |
# And what have you done? | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
# Another year over | 0:22:27 | 0:22:32 | |
# And a new one just begun | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
# And so this is Christmas | 0:22:37 | 0:22:42 | |

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

# Shaping years | 0:39:44 | 0:39:47 | |

Well, that's nearly the end of the show but before our last song, | 0:40:56 | 0:40:59 | |
let me leave you with this little thought. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:01 | |
It's the most wonderful time of the year, so why not have some chestnuts | 0:41:01 | 0:41:05 | |
roasting on an open fire, whilst walking in a winter wonderland? | 0:41:05 | 0:41:09 | |
Do have yourself a merry little Christmas | 0:41:09 | 0:41:12 | |
and may all your Christmases be Welsh. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:15 | |
Merry Christmas! | 0:41:15 | 0:41:17 | |
