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 2008.
00:38Comedian Rod Gilbert explores teen tribes.
00:42We meet some canine crooners.
00:45And the Welsh link to a famous children's book.
00:49Now if I said Heidi Highcampers I think you'll know exactly who I'm talking about.
00:55And in 2008 they were training up real life holiday entertainers in Trill.
01:02Meet the gang. Heather is in her second season. Her speciality, singing.
01:06New recruit, 20-year-old Sean, also sings.
01:09Natasha is a dancer in her second year.
01:12And novice Matthew is, well...
01:13Matthew?
01:14...to give it a go.
01:15Thumbs up.
01:15Over the next few hours, new and returning bluecoats will be in training.
01:19I'm hoping to make the grade in plate spinning, magic and choreography.
01:24It's how many big names got their start.
01:26Our most famous bluecoat is Shane Ritchie.
01:29As well as Bradley Walsh, Janice from Coronation Street.
01:33Plus loads of people that just work in the business.
01:35We've got lots of people on cruise ships.
01:38A young lady just returned from America doing Spirits of the Dance show.
01:42So, yeah, really good training ground.
01:44Planet's view!
01:46I loved Heidi High back in the day.
01:49I am also your sports organiser.
01:53Holiday camp entertainers have been around for more than 50 years.
01:56The golden age recalled in Heidi High.
01:59Actually, we better not mention that.
02:00Apparently it led to a spate of bluecoats being thrown in the pool.
02:03Occasional dunkings aside, it's not hard to see the appeal.
02:06Natasha is delighted to get paid to do what she loves.
02:09I come from a family of big entertainments people.
02:13I mean, my sister sings and we've all taken dance classes
02:16since we were sort of in our nappies and whatnot, you know.
02:19But I think definitely sort of coming to this sort of environment
02:23and seeing the fun people have and, you know,
02:26there's not many jobs you get to come and dance with Captain Croc
02:30and go to discos every night
02:32and just make sure everyone's having a ball all the time.
02:34It's great. It's great fun.
02:35So I thought I'd come along and so far, you know,
02:39it's really, really good and it's really lived up to the expectation.
02:42OK, well, fantastic.
02:43Well, Heather, it's not the first time for you.
02:45No, it's not.
02:46You're a veteran of these.
02:47So give Sean and I some tips.
02:48What makes a good bluecoat?
02:50Well, mainly, it doesn't really matter if you're a singer, a dancer
02:53or even what we call a general.
02:55You're always here to make sure your guests have a great time.
02:58So really, it's most about your personality,
03:00making sure you're really outgoing,
03:02always looking after the guests.
03:03The guests always come first to make sure they're having a great holiday.
03:07And after this,
03:08the bluecoats are helping out at a charity fun day here tomorrow.
03:11Well, I'm sorry.
03:12It's incredibly intensive work, a lot harder than I expected.
03:15I don't think I'm really truly deserving of a bluecoat.
03:18I'll leave it for someone much younger and fitter than me.
03:20In 2008, some brave students signed up for an experiment
03:25to find out why altitude sickness affects some of us more than others.
03:30And they were in for quite an adventure.
03:33It's a little bit different to sea level.
03:35There's not as much oxygen up here.
03:36The plan was to monitor the effects of altitude on different climbers
03:40to see how people react differently.
03:42Interviewed at over 4,000 metres in a freezing wind,
03:46one was clearly suffering.
03:47I get a splitzing headache, really, really bad.
03:51I still feel really, really nauseous
03:52and quite faint for a lot of the time that I'm climbing uphill.
03:55And to the point that when I then come back down again
03:59to a low altitude,
04:00just moving bags and things around is really hard work for me.
04:03The team made it to the high camp,
04:05but then, in the second week, disaster struck.
04:08A storm blew through the Caucasus Mountains,
04:11making an ascent to the summit impossible.
04:14On Sunday, they flew home.
04:16Now that the students are back in Wales,
04:18they're all going through a series of tests
04:20to see what effect climbing the mountain had on their bodies.
04:23These brain scans are to see
04:24whether the change in altitude has left its mark.
04:27They'll compare those results with scans taken before the trip
04:31and investigate why the altitude hits some harder than others,
04:35leaving a few climbers suffering violent symptoms.
04:38Headaches, nausea, some vomiting, quite a lot of lack of sleep.
04:43We were camping at 4,200 metres,
04:45so these are all the sort of symptoms that we'd expect.
04:47Also, a couple of the members showed something called ataxia,
04:50where struggling to walk in a straight line,
04:52wobbling from side to side,
04:54so quite a lot of sickness on the mountain.
04:56After a few weeks' rest,
04:58the team returned to their studies in September,
05:00knowing there's plenty more peaks in the world
05:03left to try and conquer.
05:05And the results...
05:07Don't get above yourself.
05:17Now, in 2008, comedian Rod Gilbert
05:20was doing a series called Teen Tribes,
05:23and he was finding out this week all about emos.
05:27Before we take a look,
05:29I need to find out about emos myself.
05:31And, OK, apparently their style
05:35is all about band T-shirts,
05:37skinny jeans, studded belts, and wristbands.
05:41OK, let's take a look.
05:48What kind of thing are you looking for?
05:50Maybe I can help you.
05:51Bright and colourful.
05:52Bright and colourful?
05:54Yeah.
05:54What about that pink one?
05:55Very nice pink one,
05:56plus it's like famous stars and straps,
05:58which is like an emos kind of make.
05:59Skinny jeans.
06:00Yeah, well, you're not getting me a pair of those.
06:01You're going to forget it.
06:02See, jeans, you look great in a pair of...
06:03I would not look good in a pair of skinny jeans.
06:04I've got legs literally like a battery hen.
06:07Chicken legs, Gilbert.
06:08That's how he's going to be known from now on.
06:10Convice, is that a big part of this?
06:11Yeah.
06:12Everyone's got...
06:12You've got converse on.
06:13I've got converse on.
06:14Oh, they're vans.
06:15Oh, right, OK.
06:16See, look at that.
06:17Who would wear that?
06:18You're going to be wearing it, Rod.
06:19You should tie it on, right.
06:20I'm not going to tie it on.
06:22Forget it.
06:22Forget it.
06:23Look, this is a serious documentary.
06:26It won't undo.
06:27No, you'll never get that undone.
06:30He's going on.
06:31If it's good enough for him...
06:32What are you?
06:33Seen, emo, chav?
06:34What are you, pal?
06:35Arsehole.
06:36What are you doing?
06:37You don't wear it that high up.
06:39Why not?
06:39I like it.
06:40It's cold.
06:40At my age, you're going to chill.
06:42I do quite like it.
06:44I've got to be...
06:45I've got to be too old.
06:47There's got to be something a bit less.
06:49No, you need colour.
06:50A bit less high-vis.
06:51Colour.
06:52Colour is good.
06:52How much is it?
06:53How much is it?
06:54It's £40.
06:55£40?
06:55£40.
06:57I thought it was going to be £4 or something.
07:00And he's buying it.
07:04Can't believe I'm doing this.
07:06I won't wear this.
07:08Absolutely no way I'm wearing it.
07:11Look at this.
07:12Can you carry this?
07:13It's really embarrassing.
07:15I can't carry that thing around.
07:17Look at that.
07:18And one of the stories that I remember reporting on
07:21was when a group of canine crooners came together
07:24to record a song as a tribute to the hero dog, Swansea Jack.
07:28And you can actually hear me chuckling all the way through this.
07:35Yes, don't adjust your telly.
07:37Hollywood, the Bichon Frieze, and Ben and Buster the Shih Tzus
07:41are just some of the canine crooners
07:43who've howled and growled their way through the auditions.
07:47Alongside some rather more serious musicians,
07:50they're recording a song for Jack,
07:52a tribute to Swansea Jack,
07:54the dog famous for rescuing people from the city's docks in the 1930s.
07:59It's all part of Swansea's Festival of Music and Arts.
08:02And if noise is anything to go by,
08:04Edward the Basset Hound definitely stole the show.
08:09Edward was in fine voice, wasn't he?
08:17Do you know the connection between the children's story
08:21Alice in Wonderland and Llandidna?
08:23Well, let me take you down the rabbit hole.
08:26Built in Llandidna in 1862 for Reverend Henry Liddell,
08:30Penmorvo was a home away from home for little Alice.
08:32It was her lively personality which inspired Charles Lewis Dodgson
08:36to write his beloved books as Lewis Carroll.
08:38So amazing to see the real-life Alice.
08:40While Lewis Carroll never stayed at Penmorvo,
08:42it's still been an important part of the Alice in Wonderland story.
08:46And Llandidna has made the most of its links
08:48with this classic of children's literature.
08:50I mean, I'm surprised that Matthew Richards
08:51hasn't dressed up as the White Rabbit by now.
08:54It draws the young and old from across the UK
08:56and takes them through the looking glass
08:58to experience a little of Alice's world.
09:00For many, like Pamela Crane,
09:02whose own home is touched by Carroll's characters,
09:04the real Alice's world is being swept away.
09:06We want to attract people to the UK holiday destinations
09:10and we have this unique attraction.
09:12So why destroy it?
09:14It's worth every penny of keeping it.
09:17Make it the centre of something fresh if you have to,
09:20but don't destroy that original building.
09:22Refresh it.
09:23Make it part of something living.
09:25But despite such strong local feeling,
09:27Conway planners concluded that Penmorvo was far past its best
09:31and minus many of its original features.
09:33They decided it should come down to make way for 28 flats.
09:36I think in view of the history of Penmorvo,
09:40we as a company would acknowledge the Alice in Wonderland connection
09:46and we would be willing to discuss that
09:48with Conway County Borough Council,
09:50maybe in some sort of plaque or something of that nature.
09:54For many, today's decision marks a gloomy final chapter
09:56in the Welsh history of Alice in Wonderland.
09:58But Alice Liddell's adventures on Llandidno's West Shore and beyond
10:02will live on in the imaginations of readers everywhere.
10:05I think this is one of those stories where you just hope
10:07that at the last minute it's going to get saved,
10:10but just looking online, it was actually demolished later that year.
10:17The flooding of the village of Trewerin in the 60s
10:21to create a reservoir to provide water for Liverpool,
10:25I think is still quite raw for people in Wales today.
10:29And that's why this story had real significance
10:33and really resonated, I think.
10:35It used to be the wall of a derelict house.
10:37Now this sign's considered a symbol to save the Welsh language.
10:40A familiar sight to anyone travelling south from Aberystwyth
10:44to the village of Llanrusted.
10:46In the mid-60s, the graffiti,
10:48Coviuch Trewerin, Remember Trewerin, was painted on the wall.
10:53The village near Bala in Gwynedd was flooded in 1965.
10:58It was wiped out to create a reservoir
11:00to provide water for Liverpool.
11:02But now the sign's fading
11:04and the owner won't give permission to preserve it
11:06on safety grounds until the land is sold.
11:10You still can't quite believe that that happened, can you?
11:13Gymraig plans to do everything in its power to restore the wall.
11:17People from all over Wales were worried about this particular wall
11:23and about the slogan on the wall.
11:25It is a piece of political graffiti unique to Wales
11:29and because of that we believe that it should be preserved.
11:32Come day fast, say they have the backing
11:34of the local AM and Cabinet member, Ellen Jones,
11:37to save what's gone from being a graffiti slogan
11:40to a cultural status symbol.
11:42It's so true, isn't it?
11:44I know it's writing on a wall,
11:46but actually it is so much more than that.
11:53Now if you've ever tried your hand at golf,
11:55I bet that you've encountered a bunker or two,
11:59but I bet it wasn't one like this.
12:01And here it is next to the fifth hole
12:03on the course near Chepstow.
12:05There had been rumours for years that it was here,
12:07but it was only found during some redevelopment of the course.
12:12Well, we've always known there was something there,
12:15possibly a bunker for some reason.
12:17The members have known about it,
12:18some of the staff have known about it.
12:20We were working in this area
12:21and the emergency exit, the crawl area sort of collapsed in
12:25and we saw it a bit more.
12:26Now it's not the easiest space to get into.
12:29Breathe in, Satch.
12:31But once you do get in,
12:32it gives a curious glimpse of what conditions
12:34might have been like inside.
12:37So this is the emergency entrance and exit to the bunker.
12:41The main entrance is on the far side,
12:43but that seems to have been boarded up and blocked out.
12:46Both would have needed a ladder
12:47to make the five foot drop into the bunker.
12:50Was that a golf ball in the bunker then?
12:52Who was stationed here during the war years?
12:55Well, Josephine Jones thinks she has the answer.
12:58She's lived in Chepstow for most of her life
13:00and believes her father was part of a top-secret unit
13:04who were trained to fight any potential German invaders.
13:08The units were sworn to secrecy
13:10and details have only come to light recently,
13:13although nothing official has ever been recorded.
13:16People went round to sort of check
13:18to make sure that these people were fit enough
13:20and brave enough and so on and so forth
13:23to actually sabotage, kill if necessary,
13:27and just hinder the enemy until the armies could regroup.
13:32It's rumoured there's another bunker
13:34around Chepstow racecourse
13:35and one more on the golf course,
13:37so more details about this very secretive piece
13:40of wartime history could one day be revealed.
13:55They're part of Swansea's history.
13:57These clocks have towered over the city streets for generations.
14:01But have you ever stopped to think
14:03who ensures that they're all on time?
14:05I have not.
14:06So let me introduce you to him.
14:09I'm David Mitchell,
14:10and for the last 50 years
14:11I've been looking after the city clocks in Swansea.
14:14Today I'm at the old police station
14:16and we are now going to go up the tower
14:19to wind the clock.
14:21David's in charge of 17 clocks,
14:23so he needs a head for heights.
14:26I'm about to climb the 21 steps up this vertical ladder
14:29after climbing four flights of stairs
14:31from the ground up to the roof of the old police station.
14:34And here we go now.
14:36I'm going to climb the ladder.
14:37I can't believe that he was going up a ladder like that.
14:39This is the clock.
14:40It was put in in 1915,
14:43and it's just been fully restored,
14:46completely stripped out.
14:47It's actually incredible, isn't it,
14:48to see the workings of the clock this close up.
14:50It's a low tower clock,
14:52or turret clock,
14:53which chimes the quarters
14:54and strikes the hour.
15:01The way the actual chimes work
15:04is that the pins along here,
15:09each pin then lifts the hammers,
15:12the levers here,
15:13which go up with the wires,
15:16up to the belfry,
15:17and they pull the bells
15:19and lift the clock chime.
15:22David's passion for clocks
15:24hasn't faded with time.
15:26He started as an apprentice repairer
15:28on the 11th of March, 1958,
15:30and has never looked back.
15:32It's just something I love doing.
15:35I mean, I'm lucky I get paid
15:37for having a good hobby, you know.
15:40But this isn't work for David, is it?
15:42This is a real passion.
15:43I'm coming into the trade today
15:44because it takes such a long time
15:46to learn the trade.
15:48So he's left winding the clocks alone.
15:52It's hard work.
15:53Seven are done by hand.
15:55The rest need regular repairs.
15:56But time doesn't stop for David.
15:59After this one,
15:59there's more work to do.
16:01But it seems the city's clocks
16:03are in good hands.
16:04Well, this weekend,
16:05I was putting the clocks,
16:07the 17 clocks under my control,
16:09forward one hour.
16:11I start on a Friday afternoon,
16:14do a lot of the clocks
16:15in the Guildhall offices,
16:16and then Saturday around the churches
16:19all through the day
16:20and finishing up here at the Guildhall
16:22at midnight on Saturday.
16:24You must have been worn out.
16:26Well, it is a tiring job,
16:28but it's well worth it.
16:29I wonder if those clocks
16:31are still wound by hand.
16:34No.
16:35Automatic winding mechanisms
16:37have now been fitted,
16:38but David was in charge of those clocks
16:42right up until the very end.
16:50When work began on the first building here,
16:53no-one could have predicted
16:55just how popular and important
16:56this museum would become.
16:58More than half a century ago,
17:00in the grounds of St Fagans Castle,
17:03what is now the National History Museum,
17:05began taking shape.
17:06Today, more than 600,000 people
17:09visit each year,
17:11all eager to learn about the people
17:12and the crafts of Wales.
17:14I'm weaving a shawl, this is.
17:17You see, this is very much a working museum,
17:20and in the Woollen Mill,
17:21Dowie Jones is busy.
17:22He started his apprenticeship as a weaver here
17:25almost exactly 20 years ago,
17:28and now he spends his days
17:29showing his skills to everyone who pops in.
17:32Every day is different
17:33because you don't know who you're going to meet.
17:35I've met people from all corners of the world,
17:38you know, Americans, Canadians, Australians,
17:41South Africa, everywhere, you know,
17:42and it's interesting meeting different people,
17:45different nationalities, different cultures.
17:47In fact, Harbinder Singh and his wife
17:50dropped in on Dewi today.
17:51They're on holiday from India,
17:53but their relatives in Barry
17:54thought St Fagans was well worth a look.
17:57One of the most recent additions to the museum
18:00is the beautiful St Tilos Church.
18:03It was moved stone by stone
18:05from its home in Pantardilais.
18:07Inside, the rare medieval wall paintings
18:09have been restored.
18:11That project took 23 years to complete,
18:14a labour of love that bosses here believe has paid off.
18:18I'd like to think that we do a very good job
18:20of representing Wales,
18:21the folk life of Wales,
18:22the life of the people of Wales.
18:25We are one of Europe's foremost open-air museums.
18:29Wales is the largest heritage visitor attraction,
18:33I think, by and large.
18:34But it's not just about the past here.
18:37The Oriel Gallery allows visitors
18:38to explore ideas about Welsh identity.
18:41It's a world away from what was started here in 1948.
18:45Who knows what the next 60 years will bring?
18:48We're kind of used to recycling now, aren't we?
18:51But in 2008,
18:53people were getting pretty creative with their old bottles.
18:57Those New Year celebrations leave a lot of...
18:59Oh, looks like someone's been filming outside my house.
19:01But this small company at New Radnor near Knighton
19:03doesn't just melt them down,
19:05it turns them into handmade works of art.
19:08Bottles of all shapes, sizes and colours
19:10are collected locally,
19:12melted down and then carefully cut and shaped
19:14into a wide range of crafts
19:15by five artists working in a converted farm building.
19:19What people are doing now,
19:21they're valuing their waste.
19:24They're seeing that you can make
19:26a beautiful piece of work
19:27from what they're just chucking out at the tip.
19:30And we are getting everyone in the community,
19:32the local pubs, the caravan sites,
19:34the holiday homes,
19:35all saving their bottles for us.
19:38And it's treated like treasure.
19:40Ten green bottles were set up with a community grant.
19:42And it's just the sort of small, sustainable, rural business
19:46the new lottery wants to help get off the ground
19:48with interest-free loans and grants.
19:51By 2008, Catherine Jenkins really was a huge star.
19:55And even Jonathan Ross knew about her
19:57and her links to Welsh rugby.
19:59You sing, though, when...
20:01I know you're kind of...
20:02Are you the mascot of the Welsh rugby team or you're...
20:04I am, yes.
20:05There you are singing with all the fellas behind you, I guess.
20:08What is that you sing there?
20:09Is the Welsh National Anthem?
20:10Yes, that's the Welsh National Anthem.
20:11My hand will add fun, howdy.
20:12Yeah, oh, lovely.
20:14And, uh...
20:15Thank you so much.
20:17How does it go?
20:18Is it a catchy number?
20:19Because a lot of national anthems are a bit dirge-like, aren't they?
20:21Is it one of the faster ones or is it...
20:22Oh, you don't know this one?
20:23Of course I don't. I'm English.
20:24Shall I teach you a little bit?
20:25No, but just, if you sing a little bit, I'll hum along.
20:28My hand, lad, ven, had I an an oily me.
20:35Glad byr the cantorion, en wogion ovry.
20:41She lay on the table and opened her eyes.
20:47My mother is watching, oh, what a supply.
20:51How can you get away with doing that?
20:54Bubble comes.
20:54Bubble comes, may I love me.
20:57Catherine handles it very well, though, doesn't she?
21:01But didn't it sound beautiful when Catherine was singing?
21:04Man, what a beautiful voice.
21:05Jonathan then dug out a clip from another programme
21:09where Catherine had been hypnotised.
21:11I didn't think I was hypnotised,
21:13and I thought, oh, this is really embarrassing
21:15because now that the camera's on me and I'm not hypnotised,
21:17then she started asking me questions and I was speaking the answers.
21:20I can't explain it to you.
21:21So you weren't putting this on for the cameras?
21:23I swear, I thought I was embarrassed.
21:25I thought I wasn't hypnotised.
21:26And you're aware of having a physical body now?
21:29Yeah.
21:29What are you wearing?
21:32Brown shoes.
21:33Got a skirt on.
21:35It's got stripes down in it.
21:37It kind of goes out at the bottom.
21:40I've got an apron.
21:41What are you outside of?
21:43I think it's a house.
21:46And what's the house look like?
21:49Logs.
21:51Made of logs.
21:52And whose house is this?
21:55I think it's my husband's.
21:58And what's your husband's name?
21:59She looks genuinely confused, isn't she, watching it?
22:02And what's your name?
22:04Sarah.
22:06Well, it sounds like quite a nice life.
22:08Brown shoes, log house, nice husband.
22:12Although I think being an international opera star, better bet for Catherine.
22:19One should have found one in just about every town in Wales, and quite a few villages as
22:24well.
22:25But here in Crickhith, Trevor Owen thinks he may be the last of the line.
22:30If I cup the upper too much, it's going to press there and work out where the bones are
22:35so that the leatherwork doesn't catch you underneath.
22:37It's not a working museum.
22:39It's a workshop.
22:40You come in, it's dusty and it's mucky.
22:43The raw materials for Trevor's clogs really are that, raw, lumps of wood and leather hides.
22:49Combined with skills he's learnt over 31 years, they make items of practical beauty.
22:55It's not just a mechanical process.
22:57It's a feel for the materials.
22:59They're totally natural materials.
23:00A piece of tree and a piece of leather, you can't really get more natural than that.
23:08Clogs have a place in Welsh history.
23:11Today, it's the dancers, continuing a tradition that's come down the centuries.
23:15These are Downswirtallog from Carmarthenshire, just one of the folk dancing groups which
23:20entertain fans at performances across the country.
23:24But 200 years ago, clogs were what most of our ancestors wore for work.
23:28Clog making was even an export industry.
23:32Trevor is determined not to be the last of his trade.
23:36But without some help, he says, that's what's likely to happen.
23:39I think, currently, I am the last full-time hand clog maker.
23:44The real frustration is that all the people who I've approached in the educational world
23:49have said, well, is there a training scheme?
23:52No, there's no NVQ in clog making.
23:55Basically, we can't help you in that case.
23:57I don't want this preserved on museum shelves behind glass cases.
24:00This is a living craft.
24:01It's part of a living culture.
24:03It's got to be some way of setting up something to pass this on so it's maintained.
24:11It's conserved rather than preserved.
24:12It's not stuck in a glass case.
24:14So, apparently, according to a local newspaper, Prince Charles, now the king, of course,
24:21heard about this and funded an apprenticeship.
24:24So, hopefully, those clogs are still being made today.
24:30I always really loved the chance to get out of the new studio, to go out and about reporting
24:37and to meet different people.
24:39It's one of the real joys of the job.
24:40And in 2008, Sarah Edwards went to North Wales to go to Brintervel's music festival
24:46to see how it had developed over the years.
24:51Yes, it's back.
24:52The Vinyl Festival is now in its ninth year and is promising to deliver the same rich variety
24:58of music that's become its trademark.
25:00Well, I'm here to experience at first hand the vinyl magic and to meet some of the stars
25:05who are appearing here this year.
25:07It's just one weekend, you know.
25:10And locally, perhaps there's not a hotel to be had or a restaurant booking in the afternoon.
25:16So, I think that economically is quite good for this area.
25:20And, you know, we've got people coming from America, from Australia, from New Zealand,
25:24from France, from Italy.
25:26So, perhaps this area has something for everybody.
25:31Friday night and the festival gets underway.
25:34For the past three years, the Friday has seen appearances by some of the biggest names
25:38in British pop music.
25:40This year, it's the turn of the recently reunited Boyzone.
25:44It's been a great year for the band, whose visit to the vinyl was the last but one date
25:48in a tour which began back in May.
25:53You've had a wonderful year, haven't you?
25:55It's been fantastic.
25:55It's all gone really, really well.
25:57I can't believe how, you know, and we're very lucky and very privileged to be out here again
26:00doing it and have people thrown up, have an audience.
26:03It's fantastic.
26:06Bryn even had a chance to see one of the shows for himself.
26:09The musicals night, I went into the audience with my family.
26:13I've never seen a whole concert in the vinyl.
26:16I saw the people enjoying the festival.
26:18And I think that could be what spurs one on.
26:22So, hopefully now for the 10th, a decade, it has to be something special.
26:44So, hopefully now for the 10th, a decade, it has to be something special.
26:58I absolutely loved Duffy when she came onto the scene.
27:02The singer from Bangor was storming the charts in 2008.
27:06She had this great sort of 60s style, a lovely soulful sound and this gorgeous husky voice.
27:13And this was her performance on Top of the Pops on New Year's Eve.
27:17Fools who believe in you
27:21Cause I know someday now they'll see your colors too
27:27And if you see a smile
27:32Beside my face
27:35I know I'm doing good now
27:38Since you've been erased
27:42Cause I know in time you'll see what you did to me
27:47And you'll go running back
27:52I'm gonna rain on your brain
27:55Now I won't take it again
27:59And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
28:22Next time it's 2009, we'll visit the spellbinding beach that featured in Harry Potter.
28:29There's the world's largest collection of Welsh quilts
28:34And there was a new kid on the block at the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.
28:38Here's a clue. Nah.
28:40See you next time.
