2 RHOD GILBERT S WORK EXPERIENCE: POLICEMAN Monday, May 28, BBC One Wales, 10.35pm Comedian Rhod Gilbert s final outing of this series sees him pounding the beat as he takes on duties as a policeman. The training alone is terrifying for Rhod, as he squares up to a police dog trained to bring down a criminal with its mouth, rides an unruly police horse and learns to rely on his riot shield for protection. As he prepares for a big day policing the Wales v Italy Six Nations clash in Cardiff, Rhod tries out his police manner in a close encounter with those breaching traffic laws. He feels the training has tweaked his criminal antenna enough to catch people in the act. But can he retain his police officer credibility when all around him are asking for autographs?

3 DISCOVERING WELSH TOWNS: MONMOUTH Friday, June 1, BBC Two Wales, 7.30pm Eddie Butler takes a step back in time to learn the history of his nearest town and the place he went to school - Monmouth. Founded at the spot where the river Monnow meets the Wye, the town has gone from being a Norman stronghold to the first Wikipedia town in the world, linked to some of the most eminent figures of their day. This ancient town on the Welsh borders is famous as the birthplace of Henry V and Charles Rolls of Rolls Royce, but Eddie digs under the surface to unearth the story of ordinary Monmouth folk. On his trawl through the town s history, Eddie also learns to make nails, discovers a secret garden and finds out why Monmouth may still be at war with Germany! Discovering Welsh Towns is part of a BBC initiative to promote learning local history, linked to the new series The Great British Story. Jenny Walford

4 BBC NATIONAL ORCHESTRA OF WALES Saturday, May 26, Brangwyn Hall, Swansea, 7.30pm bbc.co.uk/now BBC National Orchestra of Wales presents a concert that brings the heat of the Spanish summer to Swansea s Brangwyn Hall. The concert features Debussy s Images, a three-part work that explores the dances and folk songs of England and France, and the swirling heat and vibrancy of Iberia. In the central movement, Debussy brings the exciting festivities of a Spanish festival to life, through very extroverted, rhythmical music. The Orchestra will be joined by violinist Daniel Hope, who will perform Shostakovich s Violin Concerto No 1. Renowned for his virtuosity and creativity, Daniel Hope has toured the world, performing with major orchestras. In this concert he explores one of Shostakovich s most personal works - composed at the height of musical censorship in the Soviet Union, it s a dark and intensely passionate concerto. Led by the Orchestra s Associate Guest Conductor François-Xavier Roth, the concert in Swansea opens with John Adams s punchy and exciting Lollapalooza. Tickets are priced at to (discounts available) and are available by calling the Orchestra s Audience Line on or Swansea Grand Theatre Box Office on David Hopkins

Mae cyfrinach syfrdanol Gwyneth wedi bod yn pwyso hyd yn oed yn drymach ar ei meddwl ers iddi gyfaddef wrth Yvonne.

Keen to be a hands on father, Eifion gives little Bobi a bath and loves their time together. But Cadno isn t happy with the way he does this, and takes over, pushing Eifion to the periphery of life at the farm. Meleri Thomas
