0:00:54 > 0:00:58- She doesn't go out. She just - goes out to do what she needs to do.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00- It's a terrible thing...
0:01:01 > 0:01:05- ..when your pussy's scratching - the back door wanting to get out.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- That sounds like New Year's Eve - in Llanfair Mathafarn Eithaf.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19- I've never been one for marriage.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Is there no-one special - in your life?
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- What's the point in buying a book - when you can visit the library?

0:08:56 > 0:09:01- Really. I was listening to you - with Bananarama.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- That's the only one you've heard.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12- "Does it work?" "Yes, madam."
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- "Can you get it over the counter?" - "Only if I take two."
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Look, - Maggi goes nowhere without them.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- What? Goodness me!
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- In pill form? - I have them as eye drops.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- They make me look hard!
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- You need Viagra - in your handbag always.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Do you take it?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- Goodness gracious, no.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Some of the boys in Llangefni - need a hand.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- When they've been on the beer.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- There's nothing worse. - It's called brewer's droop!
0:15:55 > 0:16:01- Tell me, right at the start, - when you were a young boy...
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- ..no knickers, fur coat, - on the edge of Bala lake...
0:16:05 > 0:16:10- ..did you believe you had such a - bloody colourful life ahead of you?
0:16:10 > 0:16:15- I was a teacher for two years, - in Splott, in Cardiff.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- That's the truth.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- Is that a real place? - I thought someone had made that up.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- I didn't like it - so I became an actor.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- You'd be great in a panto. - Have you done one?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- I'd love to do one.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- You must have been in a panto if you - were in a group called Tebot Piws!
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- That sounds completely bonkers.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- I was in college in Cardiff - and I'd written some songs.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- I gave them to a band - of Northwalians.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- They were great boys.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- One day, - I was giving them some songs...
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- ..and telling them how to sing them.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- In the end they said, "If you're - so clever, sing them yourself."
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- So I joined the band.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- There we go - the end of my career!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- When was that?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- When was that?- - '67.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- # Mawredd mawr, steddwch i lawr
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- # Ma' rhywun wedi dwyn fy nhrwyn #
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- Where did that come from? - You did a lot of acting too.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Yes.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20- Yes.- - I saw you in that film.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- It was in 1978. Grand Slam.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- '76 or '77. '76, I think.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- You filmed it in Paris. - Were you really there?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Yes, and I was in bed - with Sharon Morgan.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Before you ask, no, I didn't.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Before you ask, no, I didn't.- - Fair play to you.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43- After Grand Slam, - your mother stopped going to chapel.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- That's right.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46- That's right.- - She was lovely.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Mam was a character.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- I thought the world of her.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- She had a lovely sense of humour.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59- She watched Grand Slam - and she was straight on the phone.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- "Dewi, you've brought shame - on the family"...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- ..because I was in bed bonking!
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- She was a chapel elder.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- Mam didn't go to chapel - for a fortnight.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Mr Jeffreys from chapel visited Mam.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- "What's wrong, Ray?" - Her name was Rachel.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- "Oh, our Dewi in that film, - Grand Slam."
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- She was so ashamed.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- "That film, Grand Slam."
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- "Mr Jeffreys replied, - "Wasn't he good?"
0:18:29 > 0:18:34- The following week in chapel, "Did - you see our Dewi in Grand Slam?"
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- Why did you come...
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- I love this story, Joyce, - it's hilarious.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- When you wrote your autobiography...
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- ..Theleri Tthwp.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Is that genuine?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- Is it a true story?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- Yes. Seve Ballesteros.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- Have you heard this story?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- You've heard of Seve Ballesteros. - I was in St Pierre.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Huw Llywelyn Davies was sitting - at the table.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- He was sitting on four cushions - to reach the table.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08- He's short!
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Seve walked in.
0:19:12 > 0:19:18- We were waiting for food - and I felt this presence.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- I looked round, Huw was with me.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- The Spaniard.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- There was no waitress, - no-one was serving.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- "What ith the thoop?" Before I could - stop myself, I said, "Thelery."
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- And off he went. - Huw Llywelyn fell off his chair.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Seve would have hammered me - if he knew I was talking the piss.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- "What ith the thoop?" "Thelery."
0:19:45 > 0:19:46- That's genius.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- You must be allowed to live - a creative life.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- You've influenced so many people.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- You must look back and say - to yourself, "That was brilliant".
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- I have enjoyed my life. - Some things have been like that.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- It's like everything else. - Most of the time, it's been good.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- I'm like you. - I don't take myself seriously.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11- Or anyone else.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Life's too short. - We're just passing through.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- Sometimes, there can be - a lot of cruelty in the world.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- If you could change something - or make something better...
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- ..by sprinkling glitter over it, - what would it be?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- To be honest, I'd love to see - everyone speaking Welsh in Wales.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- Wouldn't it be nice? All of - a sudden, everyone spoke Welsh.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- There's not enough of us.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- But we're still here.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- But we're still here.- - Of course we are.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- We're still here, Joyce.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Fair play to you, Dewi.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Do you know what, you're a tonic.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- I like making people laugh.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- There's nothing better.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- You've had a massage too. - Do you want a happy ending now?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- OK.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Joyce, come over here.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- She doesn't need much encouragement!
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Thank you.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Call again when you have less time!
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Thank you!

0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Did you make Christmas lunch - for Gwenno?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Of course I did.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- The pussy likes meat.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56- Did she have turkey?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Did she have turkey?- - Yes.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Do you like turkey? - It's usually dry.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- We had a cockerel last year - and it wasn't...
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- Was it a capon? A cock?
0:22:13 > 0:22:14- Goodness me.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Yws Gwynedd walked in - just as I said cock.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Sorry, Yws. What are we like?

0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Yes, yes, Sion's only just - started visiting our house again.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- There are little children there now.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04- Eban is two and a half - and Berta is five months old.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- No way.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- It must be fab with the children - on Christmas Day.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Yes, yes.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- Eban's quite naughty at the moment, - the terrible twos.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- That's not great - but Christmas trumps everything.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33- A Welsh version of it.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34- No, you are.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- We had fun, we recorded - a couple of videos for the songs.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- There aren't enough - Welsh language videos.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- We could do one with you.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49- I'm not sure about those drones - you use. They look dangerous.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- One of them almost hit you.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Where were you, Dyffryn Ardudwy?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- No, have you been to the Ring - in Llanfrothen?
0:24:01 > 0:24:06- This isn't a joke. Do you know - the Ring pub in Llanfrothen?
0:24:06 > 0:24:07- The Ring.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- You've heard of the ring.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Talking of rings, I know - this is meant to be about you...
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- ..but I've got to bring it back - to Maggi.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- I had a curry last night with my - new lover, goodness me, it was hot.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- I had to put the Wet Wipes - in the fridge.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- The curry or the lover?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- The curry or the lover?- - Both.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- My ring was like the Japanese flag.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Straight up. It was terrible.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- Anyway, back to Yws now. - That's enough about Maggi.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- So tell me, how does it feel?
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- In truth, that song, Sebona Fi...
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- ..that's an anthem.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- It's more than that.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51- It's so good.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- You're good too.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- You can tell me if this is a lie...
0:24:57 > 0:25:05- ..but I've heard that you go away - to a retreat to write your songs.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- You come back with a whole album.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- I go away to Mid Wales, - you can do a lot in Mid Wales.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- You won't even find a Tesco there.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- There is a place - called Stiwdio Bing.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- I locked myself away - for a few weekends...
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- ..and came back with an album.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- You write all these songs yourself?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- You write all these songs yourself?- - The band wrote the last album.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- I wrote Sebona Fi...
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- ..but Rich, the drummer, - he's also the producer.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- A lot of the work is down to Rich, - he's a genius.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- He's a musical genius.
0:25:43 > 0:25:49- Tell me, when you're standing there, - you should have seen him, Joyce...
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- ..in the Eisteddfod...
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- ..not just in Maes B but in - the pavilion in the Eisteddfod gig.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- There were thousands - of people there.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- The pavilion gig was fantastic.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- There were so many different ages - in the crowd.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- In Maes B, it's mostly youngsters.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- There were thousands there.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- We broke a record in Maes B.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- It was the biggest crowd - ever to attend Maes B.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- It's been going for 20 years.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Thanks to Anglesey, Maggi.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Thanks to Anglesey, Maggi.- - Goodness me, yes.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- It was a noisy night. - My farm's not that far away.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- The seats were damp in the pavilion!
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- Those girls had a great time.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Fair play, - you're sexy and that helps.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Do you know what I mean?
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- He's brave too. His mother - always used to cut his hair.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- That's true.
0:26:47 > 0:26:53- No-one else, no-one professional, - cut my hair until I was 25.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Was that her job?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Was that her job?- - I hope that's what she did.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- She was a mobile hairdresser, she - did a lot of blue rinses at home.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- The smell of ammonia - in our house was horrible.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Mam had conned me though.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15- She said that no-one - could touch curly hair but her.
0:27:15 > 0:27:21- She said someone else would want - to straighten out your hair.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- When I was 21, only 21...
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- ..I went to see Gav next door - and he shaved it all off...
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- ..and gave me a Mohican!
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- Tell me, because I want to know - these things...
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- ..they won't ask you this on Heno...
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- ..with this lovely hair you have...
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- ..do the curtains match the carpet?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- That's what everyone wants to know!
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- What would you say - is my hair colour?
0:27:49 > 0:27:50- Ginger.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Ginger.- - It's more ginger everywhere else!
0:27:53 > 0:27:54- On my face, for example.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- Nothing matches with me.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- Goodness me, no.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- I've pulled the carpet up - - there's laminate floor there now!
0:28:04 > 0:28:10- Joyce tried to tell me - that she shaves but she doesn't.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Grass doesn't grow on a busy road!
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- Isn't that right, Joyce?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- Goodness me.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- These songs, - where do they come from?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26- I don't know.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31- What's the process - what comes - first? The music or the lyrics?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34- It's the music with me.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- I have a short span of attention.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- If it's not something - that's memorable right away...
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- ..I won't carry on playing it.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- What's that?
0:28:47 > 0:28:48- What's that?- - The taste of the grapes.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50- It's strong in the wine.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- He was meant to be impressed - with that!
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- Take that song now...
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- ..goodness me, - it's an optimistic song.
0:29:00 > 0:29:06- That must come from the fact - that you like such a creative life.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- Does it come from that?
0:29:09 > 0:29:10- It's entirely intentional.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- There are enough boring - and sad things in the world.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- We're brilliant in Wales - at being boring and sad.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19- We're awesome at it.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24- We write songs that make you - start drinking whiskey.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- There's a shortage.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- It's a song that lifts your spirits.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- With gigs, too, when you do a gig...
0:29:33 > 0:29:39- ..there's nothing worse than - a slow song where no-one dances.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- It's nice when people listen...
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- ..but I like to watch people - enjoying themselves.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- You feed off them.
