1 SCRUM V LIVE: SCARLETS V OSPREYS Saturday December 26, BBC Two Wales, 1.50pm bbc.co.uk/scrumv @BBCScrumV

Who is best in the West? The bragging rights are up for grabs once again in this year’s West Wales derby. It was the Ospreys who narrowly won this fixture last December in a memorable nail-biting 17-15 thriller. The first of this season’s festive derbies sees the Scarlets trying to finish the year at the top of the Pro12 table, while the Ospreys look to climb up into the top six and nail down that crucial European spot. It’s all to play for this Boxing Day at Parc y Scarlets on Scrum V Live: Scarlets v Ospreys. Still full of turkey and festive cheer, presenter Ross Harries introduces live coverage of the game alongside Lions and Wales legend, Martyn Williams. Meanwhile Jonathan Davies and Gareth Charles provide the commentary and Phil Steele is roving the touchline and the stands in this crucial Pro 12 clash.

3 HINTERLAND Wednesday, December 30, BBC One Wales, 9pm #Hinterland

When local dignitary and barrister Owen Beynon is found murdered in his home, Chief Superintendent Brian Prosser is keen for the case to be solved quickly to keep the upper echelons of Aberystwyth happy.

Suspicion soon lands on local misfit Daniel Protheroe, and tension in the community is heightened when Mathias and DI Rhys find the body of Daniel’s mother Nora Protheroe decaying in the family home.

Something about the case makes Mathias uneasy. When he’s faced with talking to a mother who has lost a child, he struggles to keep his professional focus - and lashes out at the one person who supports him the most.

The case leads Mathias to uncover a tragic story of love and loss, fuelled by distrust and suspicion.

5 SHERLOCK Friday, January 1, BBC One Wales, 9pm

We've been here before - but what if this wasn't the modern day, but the late-Victorian period? What if the world's most famous consulting detective and his best friend lived in a Baker Street of steam trains, hansom cabs, top hats and frock-coats?

Welcome to 'Sherlock' in 1895!

Some things, though, remain reassuringly the same. Friendship, adventure and especially, MURDER...

Why is Thomas Ricoletti a little surprised to see his wife dressed in her old wedding gown? Because, just a few hours before, she took her own life...

Mrs Ricoletti's ghost now appears to be prowling the streets with an unslakeable thirst for revenge. From fog-shrouded Limehouse to the bowels of a ruined church, Holmes, Watson and their friends must use all their cunning to combat an enemy seemingly from beyond the grave and the final, shocking truth about...the Abominable Bride!

Sherlock is a BBC Wales production.

6 POBOL Y CWM Llun-Gwener, Rhagfyr 28 - Ionawr 1, BBC Cymru ar , 8pm Monday-Friday, December 28 - January 1, BBC Wales on S4C, 8pm bbc.co.uk/pobolycwm #PobolYCwm

Daw’n amlwg bod Gwern wedi gweld Siôn gyda’r dryll ac mae Gwyneth yn gofyn iddo ddweud celwydd wrth yr heddlu. Yn y pendraw mae Siôn yn penderfynu ei fod am ddweud y gwir. Cyn iddo allu mynd at yr heddlu daw Craig i wybod am ei fwriad, ac mae’n penderfynu herwgipio Iolo yn y gobaith y bydd Siôn yn newid ei feddwl. Mae cynllun Craig yn llwyddo, ac nid yw Siôn yn dweud gair wrth yr heddlu. Ynghanol hyn i gyd daw Siôn o hyd i wirionedd arall, bod gan Wiliam ochr dywyll hefyd, ond ydi Siôn am ddweud wrth Iolo?

Caiff Cadno siom pan mae DJ yn ochri gyda Gemma wedi i’r gwir ddod allan am ei gyfnod yn y carchar, a mwy o siom o glywed fod DJ am adael Penrhewl.

 It becomes clear that Gwern has seen Siôn with the gun and Gwyneth asks him to lie to the police, but ultimately Siôn decides to tell the truth. Before he can go to the police, Craig comes to hear of Siôn’s intention and decides to kidnap Iolo in the hope this will change Siôn’s mind. Craig’s plan works, and Siôn decides not to say a word to the police. Amid all of this, Siôn finds that William also has a dark side, but will he tell Iolo?

Cadno is disappointed when DJ sides with Gemma after the truth comes out about his time in prison, and even more disappointed to hear DJ is planning to leave Penrhewl.
