Short filmTranscript
00:00The noughties heralded a digital revolution. BBC Wales began to put their extensive archive online and make programmes accessible away
00:09from TV.
00:11We could watch on our computers, internet and our phones.
00:16What didn't change though was the wild and the wonderful things we reported on.
00:22In this series we'll be taking a look at some of the stories making the headlines in Wales in the
00:27early days of the 21st century.
00:32Let's have a look at what we were reporting on in 2006.
00:37This week Big Brother fame, Anglesey's new coastal path opens and the Joneses go for a world record.
00:482006 and many of us were in the grip of reality TV sensation Big Brother.
00:54And do you remember the Welsh contestants, Glyn and Imogen, who were banned from speaking Welsh?
01:02Imogen, who's from Fletley, is currently living in a house next door to the main Big Brother house.
01:08Her dad says her family are all missing her.
01:11I think her mother and I desperately want to see her really.
01:15But we also would like her to go the whole course.
01:19That's why I'm asking you to vote for her.
01:22In the end, Imogen went home, but Glyn did really well. He was runner-up.
01:27If this is his 15 minutes of fame, then Glyn Wise is clearly loving every second of it.
01:32The last time he was in Wales there were few requests for autographs, and I don't carry luggage for just
01:37anyone you know.
01:38Once we hit Blanaifestinyog, which had been backing its local lad throughout Big Brother 7, there was pandemonium.
01:43There's just been an amazing feeling. I've got a cold on earth and I was in bed. I just really
01:49need a good night's sleep, but it's amazing to be home as well.
01:52There's a little more privacy in this house than the one Glyn's just left, although he's still the focus of
01:57intense scrutiny.
01:58Viewers who've watched 18-year-old Glyn come of age over the past two months joined his friends and relatives
02:04later on at a homecoming party.
02:06The teenager's diary is busier than ever. He's booked for TV shows and public appearances for the next few months.
02:11He's like a superstar coming home, isn't he?
02:14The University of Wales in Bangor will have to wait for another year.
02:17Well, a really interesting career turn for this Big Brother legend.
02:22In 2025, Glyn Wise was ordained as a priest at St Assef Cathedral.
02:31Now, how do you like to spend your new year? I bet this isn't top of your list.
02:37Japan meets Penderyn near the Brecon beacons.
02:45Oh, it looks freezing.
02:48These fans of karate are warming up for an annual visit to the local waterfall.
02:58Just a short jog away is Scuder Eyre.
03:00That is my favourite waterfall in Wales.
03:02This is where they'll take their coldest shower of the year.
03:06Karate men and women have been coming here to Penderyn for this New Year's ritual for more than 25 years.
03:11They come from all over Britain and they come no matter what the weather.
03:27Today's air temperature is just under 5 degrees Celsius.
03:31But underneath the waterfall, it's 1 degree.
03:35One by one, they go under the water to do 10 punches.
03:39It's making me shiver just watching it.
03:42For some, this is their first time.
03:45It was cold and it was so noisy and so, you know, all your kind of senses really were taken
03:52away.
03:53So, because it was so overlooked, so much overlooked.
03:56So, you couldn't hear anything and you couldn't see anything because all the water was in your face.
04:00The object of this exercise, really, if I try to tell the students is to get the new year in
04:05with a bang, training doesn't get any harder than this.
04:07And it's also good for the spirit of the students to get together and, as I said, commit themselves to
04:13a hard year training.
04:15You might think they're a bit mad, but it's probably best not to tell them to their faces.
04:22Now, we hear quite a lot about the benefits of cold water therapy, don't we?
04:26But back then, it was really unusual. You just didn't see anything like that.
04:332006 saw a new chapter for Cardiff Library.
04:47One crate down, just 8,499 left to pack.
04:54Everything has to go, from books to DVDs, photos to CDs.
04:58The building has to be empty by September, when the library will be put up in temporary digs at the
05:03old Welsh Opera building nearby.
05:07You may think books are quite easy to move and store.
05:11Well, some are.
05:11But you've also got lots of historic books, some of which are very valuable.
05:20So they're going to be handled with more care.
05:22Because they're years old, they're starting to flake and they've got to be wrapped in particular tissue paper.
05:29Here's one of those ancient books, insured for a million, but its real value is priceless.
05:34It's the 13th century Book of Anirin, a manuscript in ancient Welsh.
05:39You can understand why the whole move is such a stressful task.
05:42I know that death and divorce are the top two on the list for most people, but this is a
05:47pretty close third.
05:48It's not just the variety of material and the numbers, it's a combination of the two, really.
05:52And it's the range of sizes of the material as well.
05:55We've got books that fit into matchboxes.
05:57We've got bound newspaper files that are sort of three foot by four foot.
06:00So it's quite a task, really.
06:02It's amazing what they actually have there.
06:04The library says it'll offer a service right the way through the move.
06:08But in just two years' time, it'll all have to be packed up and moved again,
06:12when the library goes to its permanent home just outside the new shopping centre.
06:17Only then can the library look forward to a more settled home life.
06:22It was bad enough moving once, but having to move all that twice.
06:31Now, you might remember this.
06:33I do, because it was just such a brazen crime.
06:36The hands of Cardiff Castle's clock stolen.
06:42It's a place where time stood still since the 1870s,
06:46a monument to an era of opulence and excess,
06:49a rich man's fantasy castle in the heart of a city.
06:52The clock tower, the jewel in its crown.
06:55But now time really has stood still in this clock tower,
06:58as someone's still in the hands.
06:59For months, the tower's been undergoing restoration,
07:02but underneath the scaffolding,
07:04this was the familiar face of the clock until one night last week.
07:07Two chaps came, forced their way in through the corrugated sheeting,
07:12climbed along the walkway to the top of the tower,
07:18which is about 40 metres,
07:19and actually found themselves with the clocks.
07:23Security cameras captured the theft on CCTV.
07:26This film's now been handed to police,
07:28who are appealing for information.
07:30If they catch the culprits, they'll get more than a ticking off.
07:33They'll probably do time.
07:35The inside of this clock tower is one of the capital's hidden treasures.
07:39Highly decorated and ornate,
07:40it's the work of the renowned architect William Burgess,
07:43commissioned by the third Marquess of Bute.
07:46Many have called this design timeless, thanks to the vandals.
07:49That description is now truly fitting.
07:52I don't think they were ever caught, despite that CCTV.
07:58Well, from an historic castle to an historic bridge,
08:01and this one in Ponteprithe was marking 250 years.
08:101756 was a pretty momentous year.
08:12A certain Volkang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg,
08:16and 1,000 miles away in what would become Ponteprithe,
08:19this unique bridge was built.
08:21At the time, it was the largest of its kind in Europe,
08:24standing alone in fields.
08:26Today, it's at the centre of Ponti, a well-known local landmark.
08:32The bridge is a new work specially commissioned
08:34to celebrate its 250th anniversary.
08:38Professional sextet of jazz musicians and local students
08:41have been rehearsing for weeks, and it's being premiered today.
08:44We've been going into schools, getting ideas,
08:48creative ideas from the students there
08:52who have been thinking about the bridge,
08:55what it means to them,
08:56and then trying to convert that into jazz.
09:00The bridge was designed and built by a man called William Edwards,
09:03who, believe it or not, was a Welsh Congregationalist minister.
09:06He was paid £500 for his efforts,
09:09but it wasn't all plain sailing.
09:11This is the fourth bridge to stand on the site.
09:14The other three were either washed away or collapsed.
09:17All of the great landscape artists of the late 18th century
09:20came to paint it, engineers came to marvel at it,
09:24travel writers wrote it up.
09:26I know that most songs have bridges,
09:29but there can't be that many bridges that have their own tunes, can there?
09:34I love the fact that Wales has a full coastal path,
09:37and it was back in 2006 that the section on Anglesey opened.
09:43Taking a stroll above the South Stack Lighthouse,
09:45the First Minister praised the people
09:47who've spent almost 30 years making a complete loop around the island.
09:51But it's just one piece in a patchwork for the whole of the country.
09:54We also want to see a link-up
09:57between the completed Anglesey coastal footpath,
09:59the completed Pembrokeshire coastal footpath
10:01in the south-western tip of Wales,
10:03so that you've got an all-Wales coastal footpath.
10:05Now, that is a very, very big attraction for tourists worldwide.
10:08The views offered on Anglesey
10:09and the chance to give the legs a bit of a workout
10:11are the main attractions for visitors.
10:14The whole island is very family-friendly, I would say.
10:17There's lots of things to do
10:18other than walking the beaches and things,
10:21and you could take that in as you're going round
10:23quite easily, I would have thought.
10:25Quite often we do reports on wonderful events like this,
10:29and it's pouring with rain.
10:30It makes such a difference when everything looks so spectacular.
10:33The benefits to this part of North Wales are huge.
10:36There are over 300,000 people using the coastal path every year,
10:40and that generates over £12 million into the local economy.
10:45And there are over 150 establishments for places to stay
10:51that can benefit from users of the coastal path.
10:54They are within two miles off the coast.
10:56So when did the Wales coastal path open in full, I wonder?
11:00There we go.
11:01It was May 2012.
11:03I've done a bit of it.
11:05Not as much as Derek Brockway, our weatherman walking, of course,
11:08but it was really wonderful.
11:13If walking isn't for you, though,
11:16how about we gear up for Wales' first motor show?
11:20They've got everything from Fords to Ferraris,
11:23Maseratis to Minis.
11:24It promises to be a petrolhead's paradise.
11:27For one day only,
11:29Chepstow is forsaking four legs for four wheels,
11:32and those behind this event believe the venue
11:34offers something unique in the world of car shows.
11:37And this isn't like ordinary motor shows
11:39with static displays of shiny cars.
11:41This car's very, very muddy,
11:42and also extremely fast, as we're about to find out.
11:46I know that Nick Pallet is a bit of a petrolhead.
11:48He will have been loving doing this.
11:50And it's certainly exhilarating.
11:53I'm about to get a drop there.
11:55Hold on.
11:56Oh!
11:56Well, it's actually turning into a bit of a motorsport frenzy.
12:00I mean, there's all forms of motorsport, of course,
12:03rallying, which is where I come from.
12:04I mean, there's a specific rally area with a lot of displays.
12:08There's actually a stage where you can buy a ride in a rally car.
12:11There's world rally cars,
12:13similar to one of our old Subarus here,
12:15as you can see behind us.
12:20And if you're not content
12:21with being driven around the course yourself,
12:23you could even have a go at driving a real rally car...
12:25Eyes forward, please, Nick.
12:27I love how he's wearing a smart shirt as well
12:30for his rally driving.
12:32I think I'm getting the hang of this now.
12:34Watch this.
12:36Until now, Wales was the only country within the British Isles
12:39not to have its own motor show.
12:40If tomorrow is a success,
12:42next year's event will step up a gear.
12:49Do you know, this is something that we're still doing stories on,
12:52the reintroduction of beavers into the wild in Wales.
12:56More than 800 years have passed
12:58since the beaver was last seen on the River Tavis.
13:00I couldn't place this voice initially.
13:02But it's Jason Mohammed.
13:04...being studied by the Wales Wildlife Trust,
13:07which believes the reintroduction of the beaver
13:09will be valuable to the country's ecology.
13:11I mean, Wales wouldn't be the first country
13:13to reintroduce beavers into the population.
13:16There's 13 other European countries
13:18that have gone through reintroduction programmes.
13:20There's a lot of case studies.
13:21There's a wealth of information
13:23and knowledgeable people that know exactly how to do it.
13:26Now, the beavers we're talking about here
13:28are the European beavers and not the North American type.
13:31And if they were to be reintroduced here
13:33at the Maga Marsh Nature Reserve,
13:35they'd probably live in this reen
13:37and they'd burrow into the bank,
13:39making a home for themselves.
13:40The beaver is one of many natives
13:42not seen in Britain for hundreds of years.
13:44But some farmers are worried about the Wildlife Trust's plans.
13:48They fear for animal health, farmland and crops.
13:51Beavers are great managers of wetland habitats like this one here.
13:54They create ponded areas.
13:56They are great natural coppices.
13:59And all the work that we do here,
14:01they could do for us automatically.
14:03It would be great.
14:04And also, to reintroduce beavers in Wales,
14:07it would be great for tourism.
14:09The beaver breeds once a year
14:11and would be ideally suited to the natural habitat here.
14:14Similar plans were put forward in Scotland,
14:16but the Scottish Parliament turned down the proposal
14:18because of the concerns from local farmers.
14:22Conservationists here, though,
14:23are hoping the beaver makes its long-awaited return
14:25to the rivers of Wales.
14:27So, having reported on beavers for so long,
14:30I can, in fact, tell you that there are
14:32now four managed enclosures in Wales,
14:36but an unknown number of beavers living in the wild.
14:47Now, it was in 2006 that the BBC joined forces
14:52with Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber
14:54to find a new West End star
14:56for a production of The Sound of Music.
14:58The moment of truth has finally arrived.
15:04The girl the public have cast to be Maria von Trapp is.
15:12My name is Connie Fisher.
15:13I'm from Pembrokeshire in Wales.
15:15An interesting fact,
15:17I'm often compared to Julie Andrews when I sing.
15:22Six months ago,
15:233,000 girls auditioned for Andrew Lloyd Webber's
15:26brand-new production of The Sound of Music.
15:28It's up to the viewers at home to choose the winner.
15:31Connie!
15:33Look at her face!
15:35She just can't believe it!
15:37At 9.50pm on Saturday the 16th of September,
15:40Connie Fisher's dream finally came true.
15:43Congratulations, Connie!
15:45You are Maria!
15:49A leading lady has never been cast by public vote before.
15:54Oh, God!
15:55Oh, I'm so thrilled for Connie.
15:57But, of course,
15:58with only eight weeks to go
16:00before she appears on a West End stage,
16:02for her,
16:02the journey has just begun.
16:04Ooh, it's a quick turnaround.
16:05Talk to anybody.
16:06It's a year, right?
16:07Papabee.
16:09Thanks to the television programme,
16:11we've got the right Maria.
16:13And I think that's the thrilling thing.
16:15Look at me.
16:15You're Maria.
16:16I'm Maria.
16:17You are Maria.
16:18I must admit,
16:19I was very surprised when I found out
16:21what Andrew Lloyd Webber was doing,
16:23because I thought,
16:24reality, Andrew Lloyd Webber,
16:25what's going on here?
16:26There's always controversy
16:27when there's something new
16:28and something exciting
16:29and something original happen.
16:30And people don't like it.
16:32I mean,
16:32I've broken the mould.
16:34But actually,
16:35it's obviously worked.
16:36Your life is going to change.
16:37I'm Maria.
16:42It could well have backfired,
16:43but there was massive risk.
16:44It was scary.
16:45Real jeopardy.
16:46And it really paid off for Connie
16:48because she became known,
16:50didn't she,
16:50as the People's Maria.
16:55Let's head off to the Eisteddfod now.
16:57And this year,
16:58there was controversy.
17:00A pink pavilion.
17:03It's the first time
17:04in nearly a quarter of a century
17:06that the national Eisteddfod
17:07is in Swansea
17:08and you really can't miss it.
17:10It makes a statement.
17:11A pink pavilion
17:12is easily spotted.
17:14Never before have they had
17:15such a brightly coloured main tent,
17:17but this year,
17:18the one they were given
17:19was originally designed
17:20for a breast cancer charity.
17:22The colours really got people talking
17:24and organisers are excited
17:25about the week ahead.
17:27Well, we open tonight
17:28with the Catherine Jenkins concert
17:29and five Melrose choirs.
17:31And then tomorrow,
17:32the competition starts
17:34in the main pavilion.
17:35Those competitions will be held
17:36throughout the week
17:37during the day,
17:38then evening concert
17:39in the main pavilion
17:40every night.
17:41The mice stands on the site
17:43of the old Philindra steelworks.
17:45It's taken two years
17:46of hard work and fundraising
17:47to get the Eisteddfod together
17:49and some of the preparation
17:51has been a little unusual.
17:53Like moving a protected species
17:55of birds
17:55so they're not disturbed
17:56by the crowds.
17:57Well, we had lapwings here
17:59and two types of plovers
18:00all protected.
18:02One pair nesting
18:03just behind us here.
18:04We brought in a consultant
18:07who then gradually moved
18:08the eggs
18:09about a foot a time
18:11so that the adults
18:12wouldn't realise
18:13the nest was being moved
18:15for us to create a space
18:16for us to work in.
18:17And with 160,000 visitors
18:20expected in the coming week,
18:21every detail has to be right.
18:252006 saw the 20th anniversary
18:27of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster
18:29and Wales was welcoming
18:31children who were still
18:33affected by it
18:34on a visit here.
18:35Two little girls excited
18:37by a day on the beach
18:38at Dynastynllene near Cynarvon.
18:40It's only when they speak
18:42that you realise
18:43there's something unusual
18:44about them.
18:47Olga Norka and Angelika Mashkova
18:50both aged nine
18:51and for them this day out
18:52is particularly special.
18:54Their country Belarus
18:55is landlocked.
18:56Their homes
18:57many hundreds of miles
18:58from the nearest sea.
19:06This is the girls' home village
19:08Lipen,
19:09the best part of 100 miles south
19:10of the Belarusian capital Minsk.
19:12Life here couldn't be more different
19:14to that they've experienced in Wales.
19:16Among the girls' household chores
19:18fetching water
19:19for washing and cooking
19:21from the nearest well.
19:22And on top of the harsh
19:23living conditions
19:24there's Chernobyl's legacy.
19:26Part of the country
19:27remains so contaminated
19:28no one is supposed
19:30to live there.
19:31Among teenagers
19:32rates of thyroid cancer
19:33are still abnormally high.
19:36Many suffer from
19:36suppressed immune systems.
19:38And back in Wales
19:39Terry McDade
19:40who coordinates
19:41and hosts the visits here
19:42has no doubts
19:44about their value.
19:44They see how we live.
19:47They see we have a lot more.
19:49They don't get jealous
19:50because they're happy.
19:51They really love their families
19:52and they love to go home.
19:54But they take a lot of stories home.
19:56And this two decades on
19:58from the accident
19:58it may be another 20 years
20:01or even longer
20:02before Belarus fully recovers.
20:04Another generation
20:05of her children
20:06may be looking to Wales
20:07for help.
20:08Now I vividly remember this.
20:10I don't think anybody
20:11working in news at this time
20:12could forget it.
20:14St David's Day 2006
20:16and the royal opening
20:17of the new Senate building.
20:19Right on time
20:20the Queen arrived
20:21with the Duke of Edinburgh,
20:23Prince Charles
20:23and his wife
20:24the Duchess of Cornwall.
20:26We had rolling news coverage
20:27through the day.
20:29Controversial for some.
20:33But the less than enthusiastic
20:35reception from protesters
20:37outside did little
20:38to mar the warmth
20:39of the welcome
20:40as the Queen
20:40made her way
20:41for the first time
20:42inside this new building
20:44for Wales.
20:45After unveiling
20:46the slate plaque
20:47marking this special day
20:48she went to the heart
20:50of the building
20:51the debating chamber.
20:52All elected
20:54to public office
20:55bear a heavy responsibility
20:58as the servants
20:59of those who elect them
21:01to give democratic voice
21:03to their aspirations
21:04expectations
21:06and concerns.
21:09It is to the men
21:10and women of Wales
21:11that you the members
21:12of this National Assembly
21:15ultimately answer.
21:16presiding officer ladies
21:18and gentlemen I am pleased
21:19to declare this building
21:21open and I wish you
21:23success in your future
21:25deliberations.
21:30A MESA gift from the people
21:33of New South Wales
21:34was presented to the Assembly
21:35a symbol of democracy.
21:37This March the 1st
21:39is a very special
21:40St David's Day
21:41indeed
21:42because of your presence
21:43at this very special occasion
21:45to celebrate
21:46the official opening
21:47of the new home
21:48for the National Assembly
21:49for Wales
21:50the crucible
21:51of our still
21:52young democracy.
21:53It's taken
21:54eight years
21:55to reach this day
21:56it's one
21:57that so many
21:58will never forget.
21:59For me
22:00it's a coming home
22:01it's the National Assembly
22:02coming into its own building
22:03and to see
22:04the affection
22:05and support
22:05we've had
22:06from our sister organisations
22:08from the regional
22:09legislative parliaments
22:11on mainland Europe
22:12and indeed
22:13from the Commonwealth.
22:14As a nation
22:15we've fought
22:16long and hard
22:16over the very idea
22:18of this building
22:18but now it's here
22:20it's intended to be
22:21a place for the people.
22:22The challenge now
22:23to make every part
22:25of Wales
22:25feel very much part
22:26of what's happening
22:27here in Cardiff Bay.
22:29Our chief reporter
22:31Penny Roberts there
22:32she always had
22:34such a brilliant way
22:35of summing everything up
22:36and really nailing
22:38the crux
22:39of what a report
22:39was all about
22:40and she makes
22:40a very good point there.
22:41That's always been
22:42the challenge
22:43with the Senedd
22:43was to engage
22:44everybody in Wales
22:45because it was based
22:46in Cardiff Bay.
22:48I still can hardly believe
22:49it's only 20 years
22:50since we've had
22:51the Senedd building
22:52and for me
22:53it's hard to remember
22:54a time without it
22:55and my son
22:56has grown up
22:57with the Senedd
22:58being there
22:59for all his life
23:00and there's
23:01you know
23:01two generations
23:02of kids now
23:03who've never known
23:04a life without it.
23:09Now talk about
23:11keeping up
23:11with the Joneses
23:12a world record
23:13attempt to gather
23:14as many of them
23:15as possible
23:15in one place
23:16was underway
23:17in 2006.
23:19And just take a look
23:20behind me
23:20as you can see
23:21Nicola Smith
23:22produces Wales Today
23:23now
23:24I work with her often
23:25with the letter J
23:26so that it reads
23:27in these
23:28Jones Horizons
23:29sing
23:29that's to welcome
23:30the hundreds of people
23:31passing through the doors
23:32here tonight.
23:33It's taking place
23:34in this theatre
23:35and organisers
23:36are hoping to get
23:371600 Joneses in.
23:39If they do
23:40they'll thrash
23:40the current record
23:41set in Sweden
23:42by 583 Norbergs.
23:45Lars Eric
23:46Keeping up with the Norbergs
23:48doesn't quite have
23:49the same ring
23:49does it?
23:50One morning
23:51I woke up
23:52with this
23:52in my mind
23:54there are people
23:56name
23:56surname
23:57Norberg
23:57how many
23:59I checked
23:59the telephone book
24:01and it was
24:01quite many
24:02so I called
24:03Guinness in London
24:04and then said
24:04okay
24:05go for it.
24:06And these Joneses
24:07have travelled
24:07thousands of miles
24:09from America
24:09to join in.
24:10They come from
24:11places like
24:12Nebraska
24:12Tennessee
24:13and Florida
24:14but are fiercely proud
24:15of their Welsh
24:16heritage.
24:17It's like a fairy tale
24:18land actually
24:19to me
24:20because it's
24:20first of all
24:21the land of castles
24:21is number one
24:22off the top
24:23second of all
24:24it's beautiful
24:25it's like a well
24:26kept secret
24:27as far as I'm concerned.
24:28Our histories
24:30of our past
24:31our people
24:31is who we were
24:33and who we are
24:34and if we forget
24:36our past
24:37we don't know
24:38who we are
24:39or where we're going
24:40and it's like
24:42you can feel
24:43the homeland
24:44colony.
24:46Last minute rehearsals
24:47have been taking
24:48place all day
24:49stars as diverse
24:50as opera singer
24:51Dame Gwyneth Jones
24:52and 80s pop icon
24:53Grace Jones
24:54will be performing.
24:56Blue Peter presenter
24:57Gethin Jones
24:57is hosting the event
24:59alongside a lady
25:00who's travelled
25:00from Australia
25:01to be here.
25:03I just rushed
25:04on that plane
25:04it was just
25:05a wonderful invitation
25:06and I'm really proud
25:08I'm a Jones
25:08you know
25:09it's funny
25:10it's going to be
25:10a fun quirky event.
25:11It's a massive honour
25:12to be doing
25:13something like this
25:13you know
25:14it's a great event.
25:15Gethin who presents
25:16Morning Live now
25:17of course.
25:17It's so simple
25:18Jones has just turned up
25:19they sit here
25:20have a great night
25:20and they break a world record
25:21in the process.
25:23If only all world records
25:24were that easy hey?
25:25Tonight's celebrations
25:26every Jones needs
25:27a passport
25:28to prove their identity
25:29so quite literally
25:30if your name's not Jones
25:32you're not coming in.
25:33And it seems
25:34the months of preparation
25:36are worth it.
25:37Tonight
25:37they did it
25:38a new world record
25:39was set.
25:40It seems Wales
25:41really does know
25:42how to keep up
25:43with the Joneses.
25:44Now this year
25:45Wales Today
25:46was reporting
25:47from some of the
25:48top holiday destinations
25:49in Wales.
25:51Nice work
25:51if you can get it.
25:53Matthew Richards
25:54was first in line
25:55and as always
25:56he got stuck in.
25:59Dear viewers
26:00I'm having a great time
26:01in Llandet now.
26:02The food's nice
26:03and I'm meeting
26:05new friends.
26:06The classic
26:07Victorian coastal resort
26:08appears to be going
26:09from strength to strength
26:10with visitor numbers
26:11up by 5 or 6%
26:12per year.
26:13They come for the pier
26:14prom and punch and duty
26:16as well as taking the sea air
26:17in all sorts of ways.
26:19Andrew Jones
26:20was so impressed
26:20by the cable cars
26:21that passed his childhood home
26:23he bought the company.
26:24What kind of people
26:26does it attract?
26:27Everybody.
26:28You know
26:28from infants
26:29of one years old
26:30like myself
26:30when I went on
26:31with my dad
26:31until we had a lady
26:33of 95 yesterday.
26:35So you know
26:35right through the whole scale
26:36everybody enjoys
26:37the witching of yourself.
26:39And I'm certainly
26:40not the only one.
26:41We're filming for the BBC
26:43are you enjoying yourselves?
26:44Nice try Matthew.
26:46The tourist industry here
26:47has hit new heights
26:48recently
26:48by tapping into
26:49an altogether
26:50different market.
26:51Quite a romantic room
26:53very popular
26:53the romantics.
26:55Perfect for me then.
26:56I'm used to staying
26:57somewhere cheap
26:58and cheerful
26:58on holiday
26:59but this time
26:59I'm checking out
27:00or should I say
27:01checking in
27:01somewhere much more classy.
27:03We took a bit of a gamble
27:04and converted
27:05an old Victorian building
27:07into contemporary accommodation
27:08and gave it the boutique style
27:10which is quite
27:11quite trendy
27:11quite fashionable
27:12now worldwide
27:13and it's beginning to
27:15you know
27:15expand and roll out
27:17and we just thought
27:17that North Wales
27:18was ready for somewhere like that
27:19so we sort of
27:20followed the gut feeling
27:22really.
27:25Now even though
27:27Catherine Jenkins
27:27was a rising
27:28international star
27:30at this time
27:30she always seemed
27:32to find time
27:32to come home
27:33to perform
27:34to people here in Wales.
28:05singing in Wales
28:14Next time, it's 2007, and we'll meet the great-grandmother
28:19who was serving up fish and chips on her 100th birthday,
28:23Tani Grey-Thompson retired from competition,
28:26and Gavin and Stacey came on to our screens for the very first time.
28:44We'll see you next time.
