HELICOPTER RESCUE Wednesday, February 22, BBC One Wales, 7.30 pm The second in the Helicopter Rescue series sees the RAF‟s Search and Rescue force deal with a challenging half term week in Wales. Rescue 169 from RAF Chivenor tries to save a man stranded by the incoming tide at Southerndown cliffs. With the tide crashing ever closer 20 feet beneath him, Michael Peck from Newport faces a life-or-death situation. In mid Wales, a father and son from Sussex face one of the longest nights of their lives as they try to negotiate their way out of a disused quarry near Dinas Mawddwy. As RAF Valley‟s Rescue 122 arrive, winchman Neil Cooper is faced with one of his most challenging rescues yet as he is winched down more than 150 feet in high winds and fading darkness to save both men. And at RAF Valley, Radar Operator Graeme „Livvy‟ Livingston prepares to join Prince William on a six-week tour away while at home his family prepare themselves for the time without him. Mari Williams WELSH TOWNS: BANGOR Monday, February 20, BBC One Wales, 10.35pm Though actually a small city due to the presence of its cathedral, Bangor became the religious centre of north west Wales after the Celtic saint Deiniol set up a monastery in 525AD. The wattle fencing surrounding the church was called “bangor”, hence the town‟s name. A strategic point for crossing to Anglesey, Bangor became a stopping point on the main route for the Irish mail in Elizabethan times. The ferry crossing across the treacherous Menai Straits was always dangerous, with the problem only solved when Thomas Telford built his spectacular bridge to connect the two sides. Eddie Butler discovers some of Bangor‟s lesser known history, including the restoration of the wonderful Victorian pier; the Jewish family jewellery business now with a royal warrant, and the “naughty boys ship” with which recalcitrant youths were threatened. And he explores Penrhyn Castle, once the largest private house in Wales, finding out about the impact of the slate industry on the town. BBC Radio Wales will be marking the broadcast with a whole day based in Bangor on Monday, February 20. Good Morning Wales and Good Evening Wales will come from Ty Cegin community centre in Maesgeirchen, while Louise Elliott presents from Bangor City‟s new ground, Jason Mohammad‟s lunchtime phone-in will be from the BBC at Bangor, and Roy Noble will be live from the Blue Sky café. Jenny Walford KORKEY’S SIX NATIONS Thursday, February 23, BBC Two Wales, 10pm As Wales prepare to take on England at Twickenham in the third Six Nations game of their 2012 campaign on Saturday, February 25, comedian and broadcaster Chris Corcoran takes a sideways look at this year‟s Six Nations championship in the first of two special programmes. In Korkey’s Six Nations, Chris offers his own eclectic take on the Six Nations championship looking at various aspects of the tournament. In the first programme he meets up with English rugby legend Will Carling at his home near Reading, with the former England captain talking about what it was like to take part in some classic encounters between Wales and England in the championship. Chris also catches up with Welsh comedy great Max Boyce, who talks about the significance of the games between Wales and England and how his own Hymns and Arias has become so beloved by Wales fans. We also follow Chris as he takes on the challenge of being a newspaper reporter for the day, reporting on the Wales v Scotland game for the Western Mail.

In ten tests between the countries, JPR scored five tries and never lost to England in his entire career. Nigel Partridge SCRUM V LIVE: MUNSTER V BLUES Friday, February 24, BBC Two Wales, 7pm Ahead of the latest weekend of Six Nations action the Scrum V team kick off with some top Pro 12 rugby from Ireland on Friday evening, with league champions Munster welcoming the Blues to Thomond Park in Limerick - one of Europe‟s most daunting stadiums.

Nigel Partridge UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS Sunday, February 19, BBC One Wales, 9.30pm Written and created by Heidi Thomas, and produced by BBC Cymru Wales, the hotly anticipated second series of Upstairs Downstairs returns to BBC One, starring Jean Marsh, Keeley Hawes, Ed Stoppard and Alex Kingston. It is now September 1938. Sir Hallam is anxious about affairs in Germany and determines to persuade those in power that Hitler can‟t be contained. But when he is met with short shrift from his superiors and sees his wife‟s concern over what the possibility of another war might mean for their young family, Hallam is forced to consider whether his approach is the right one…and when he meets an unexpected face in Germany he begins to question more than his political beliefs. Back at Eaton Place Sir Hallam‟s wife Lady Agnes is extremely frail after giving birth to their second child, but returns to 165 to support her husband. After the death of Hallam‟s mother, the couple play host to his aunt Dr Blanche Mottershead, much to Sir Hallam and Mr Amanjit‟s dismay.

  • 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.

  • Sporting Legends: Stephen Hendry
    SPORTING LEGENDS: STEPHEN HENDRY SPORT: SNOOKER COMPETITIVE ERA: 1984 - PRESENT Stephen Hendry MBE (born January 13, 1969, Auchterarder, Perthshire, Scotland) is a Scottish professional snooker player. Hendry has won the World Snooker Championships seven times, a record for the modern era, and is thus regarded by many as the greatest player of all time. Hendry started his career early. He was Scottish Amateur Champion at the age of 15, and turned professional aged just 16. Hendry first won the World Professional Snooker Championship in 1990 at the age of 21, becoming the youngest player ever to win the event. He went on to dominate the game in the 1990s. His most recent win in 1999 was his seventh, eclipsing rival Steve Davis's six modern era victories. Hendry holds several snooker records: He has earned more prize money than any other player (about £7 million); he has scored the most 147s (eight times), and is the only player to have scored a 147 in a major final, a feat he has achieved three times. He has compiled the most century breaks, currently over 660, and he holds the most ranking event titles (34). In 1990/1991, despite not winning the World Championships, he won an amazing five ranking events, a record for a single season. Hendry was ranked number 1 from 1990 to 1998 in a record breaking 8 season streak. Hendry was awarded an MBE in 1994 and voted BBC Scotland's Sports Personality of the Year in 1987 and 1996. SPORTING LEGENDS: STEPHEN HENDRY Stephen Hendry is a true snooker legend.

  • Some Say That There Are Actually Four Players from Outside the U.K
    Some say that there are actually four players from outside the U.K. that have been World Champion citing Australian Horace Lindrum, a nephew of Walter, who won the title in 1952. This event was boycotted by all the British professional players that year and for this reason many in the sport will not credit him with the achievement. The other three to make the list are first, Cliff Thorburn from Canada in 1980, defeating Alex Higgins 18 frames to 16. He also made the first 147 maximum break of the World Championships in his 1983 second round match against Terry Griffiths which he won 13 – 12. Third was Neil Robertson who won a never to be forgotten final against Scot Graeme Dott 18 frames to 13 in 2010. His route to the final had started with a match against Fergal O’Brien which he won 10 – 5. Next up was a heart stopping, come from behind win over Martin Gould after trailing 0 – 6 and again 5 – 11 before getting over the line 13 – 12. Steve Davis, multiple World Champion, was next and dispatched 13 – 5 which brought him to the semi finals and a 17 – 12 victory over Ali (The Captain) Carter. Third here but really second on the list is Ken Doherty from Eire who won the World title by beating Stephen Hendry, multiple World Champion winner from Scotland, at the Crucible in 1997 winning 18 - 12. Ken had previously become the I.B.S.F. amateur World Champion in 1989 by defeating Jon Birch of England 11 frames to 2 in the final held in Singapore.
