WEATHERMAN WALKING Monday, January 16, BBC One Wales, 7.30pm bbc.co.uk/weathermanwalking 2 This week we see forecaster Derek Brockway take two fascinating walks on long distance paths in Weatherman Walking - along one of the best sections of the Pembrokeshire coastal path, and then following a little explored stretch of the Offa's Dyke path through the Welsh marches. Singer, actor, television and radio presenter Gwenno Dafydd takes Derek to the rugged coastline of north Pembrokeshire. With an array of beautiful beaches and wonderful views, they begin at Trefin and end their 10 ½ mile walk at Pwll Deri youth hostel. The weatherman then heads for a hike on the Dyke, beginning in the hamlet of Churchtown. Writer and photographer Jim Saunders guides Derek along the eight mile route - following the Dyke as it criss-crosses the border between England and Wales. The rolling countryside rewards them with wonderful views before they finally reach their destination, the picturesque town of Montgomery - one of Wales’ hidden gems. Ceri Mears 2 3 WELSH GREATS: MARGARET JOHN Monday, January 16, BBC One Wales, 11.05pm This week’s Welsh Greats looks back at the long and distinguished career of a national treasure and Welsh icon, the much loved actress Margaret John, who died in 2011. She achieved the peak of her fame at the end of her career when she had the opportunity to show off her sense of humour in the BBC Wales comedy High Hopes, where her character, Mam, was known for her outrageous comments. But the award-winning actress was best known in the UK for her role as Doris, Gwen’s flirtatious and elderly neighbour, in the Barry-based hit comedy-drama Gavin and Stacey. Born in Swansea in 1926, John spent years learning her craft on stage and it paid off when she began making regular appearances in popular programmes such as Z Cars and the Troubleshooters. Vivacious Margaret was engaged six times before she met the love of her life, violinist Ben Evans. But in 1978, as she found stability in her professional life, her personal life fell apart when Ben died of cancer. Ceri Mears 3 4 RHYS TO THE RESCUE Wednesday, January 18, BBC One Wales, 7.30pm Having travelled around the world as a biologist, licensed wildlife handler and an animal behaviourist, Dr Jones handles some of the country’s rarest and most dangerous animals. In the opening episode of the new series of Rhys to the Rescue, there’s a squatter in an Abertridwr bathroom - a live corn snake 36 inches long. Rhys finds the snake skin, but will he be able to safely rescue the North American snake without injury? In a south Wales forest, eye witnesses believe they’ve sighted a large panther or some sort of big cat, but can Rhys capture the cat on camera? He then heads to Wales Ape and Monkey Sanctuary in the Swansea valley - home to around 300 unwanted animals. When Billy the chimpanzee arrives, following a journey from a Bulgarian zoo, Rhys is on hand to see he settles down well. After 15 years alone in a small cage, how will Billy react when he meets the two other resident chimps at his new home?

Ai’r cig rhad brynodd Andy neu dwrcwn Penrhewl sydd ar fai? Mae Siôn yn troi at Dduw i ateb ei weddi tra mae Cadno ac Eifion yn ceisio ffoi o Gwmderi i ddiogelu’r babi a chaiff Denzil ei daro’n wael. Nid oes neb yn fodlon camu dros drothwy eu tai, gymaint yw difrifoldeb y sefyllfa. Un peth sy’n sicr, bydd digwyddiadau trasig yr wythnos hon yn gadael eu hôl ar y Cwm am byth - a bydd pawb yn teimlo’r effaith. Soon after celebrating Siôn and Britt’s wedding, there is a much more sombre mood in the village. Many of Cwmderi’s residents are seriously ill, and Gwilym Taxi’s body is found in the Deri Deithio office. Could it be the cheap meat Andy bought to cater for the party or are Penrhewl’s turkeys at fault? No one is sure why so many people are ill or what’s causing it. Siôn turns to God to answer his prayers. Cadno and Eifion flee from Cwmderi to keep the baby safe and Denzil is under the weather. People are panicking and staying indoors, such is the seriousness of the situation. But one thing is for certain, this week’s tragic events will leave their legacy in the valley - and everyone will feel the effect. Meleri Thomas 6.

  • BBC Wales, Management Review, 2009/10
    WALES MANAGEMENT REVIEW 2009/10 a INTRODUCTION FROM DIRECTOR, BBC CYMRU WALES IN A YEAR WHEN DIGITAL SWITCHOVER SWEPT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THE ROLE OF WALES’ nATIONAL BROADCASTER HAS NEVER BEEN CLEARER. Some said that digital switchover would change everything. By beaming countless additional channels into every home across Wales, some warned it would accelerate the fragmentation of viewing, weakening the social and civic ties that bind us together. And yet take a look at what actually happened. In 2009/10, almost a million viewers – the highest figures for at least five years – tuned into BBC Cymru Wales programming each and every week. On top of this success, our network output continued to attract worldwide attention, including Torchwood’s stunning debut on BBC One and BBC Two’s captivating Last Chance to See. That success is of course a tribute to the skills and resilience of our talented production teams – both in-house and across the independent sector – and many of their achievements are rightly “ THIS YEAR’S SUCCESS IS A POWERFUL REMINDER OF captured in this review. OUR AUDIENCE’S DEMAND FOR HIGH QUALITY AND Our success this year is a powerful reminder that in an age of apparent digital plenty – with all its countless distractions – our audience’s demand for high quality and distinctive national programming DISTINCTIVE NATIONAL PROGRAMMING.” is as strong and robust as ever. MENNA RICHARDS, It is, needless to say, a challenge and responsibility we relish. DIRECTOR, BBC CYMRU WALES Menna Richards COVER IMAGE Director, BBC Cymru Wales Presenter Eddie Butler tells the story of a 5th or early 6th century carved sandstone, part of a trail of historical objects inspired by our History of the World project, and which can be seen at the National Museum Wales in Cardiff.

Acting as convener ol the Scottish Committee for that event, the editor found that there was in existence no list of persons who took an acti^•p interest in such matters, either in Scotland or in any of the other Celtic countries. His resolve to meet this want was cordially approved by the lenxlers of tlie Congress circulars were issued to all wlrose addresses could be discovered, and these were invited to suggest the n-iines of others who ought to be included. The net result is not quite up to expectation, but it is better tlaan at first seemed probable. The Celt may not really be more shy or n.ore dilatory than men of other blood, but certainly the response to this elTort has not indicated on his pfirt any undue forwardness. Even now, after the lapse of a year and the issue of a second ;ind a third circular, tlie list of Celtic aaithors niid inu<;iciii::i.s is far from full.

This documentary on BBC One Wales highlights the difficulties and problems of sleep deprivation through the eyes of insomniac and award-winning documentary maker Martin Read. Martin hasn’t slept properly for over 30 years and usually makes do with around three hours of sleep a night. Martin tracks his own life, and that of other sufferers over four months, giving a stark insight into what it’s like to live with chronic insomnia. Over time, Martin’s desperation for sleep has led him to becoming utterly dependent on sleeping tablets - only supposed to be used short term. But with the right help, he’s determined to stop taking them altogether.
