Iolo has hidden culinary talents
Iolo has been doing some cooking – a cake for Non – when Gethin comes in and apologises for last night.   
Gethin apologises
When Iolo tells him, “It’s not ‘all right’ by a long chalk!” Gethin objects that Iolo “had a go at him” about Daniel, 
"You need to give Wiliam some space"
and suggests that he should give Wiliam some space, as he appeared to be worrying about something.
"You call this First Class?"
Mark delivers a box to the Deri, and is greeted by Siôn’s comment, “3:10?   Is that what you call First Class?”   
Mark stands up for Anita
Mark explains that he has done two shifts, and raises the matter of Anita, “Getting the push!”  
"She left because she was treated so badly!"
“She left because she was treated so badly.   She could do with that job, as she is missing Meic dreadfully,” Mark tells Siôn, “If you cared, she’d still be working here.”
"I'll never have time to read it, with Anita gone!"
Siôn tells Britt that in the box is the biography of Waldo,  [Waldo (Goronwy) Williams 1904–1971] “But I don’t know when I’ll have time to read it, especially with Anita gone!”   
"I don't want her or her fancy ideas!"
Britt insists she does not want Anita or her fancy ideas;  “I run this pub, not her!”
Siôn points out that food sales are down without her, and it will be hard to keep the kitchen open.   He stresses, “I say that we need her back,” and Britt reluctantly agrees to go and see Anita.
What sort of irresponsible action is that?
Dai is doing more ironing at APD when the phone rings, and the idiot leaves a blouse draped over the iron while he goes and talks to Jim.   
"We're not missing Diane at all!"
“No, to be honest we’re not missing Diane at all – it’s all going like clockwork,” he lies
A ruined blouse — and it's Gaynor's!
Then he suddenly smells burning, and finds the blouse irreparably damaged;  he is even more flustered when he sees that it is Gaynor’s laundry.
Hywel does not like this talk of divorce
Gaynor meets Hywel by CwmFM and tells him the divorce papers are on the way to him.   Gwyneth comes out of her front door and notices Gemma on the bench across the road, watching her.
Iolo arrives unexpectedly
Iolo takes the cake to Wiliam’s, and is offered a cup of coffee;  he tells Wiliam that he had a shock when they left so quickly last night.   Wiliam irritably replies, “I told you, Non needed a bath, and it was getting late.”  
Iolo feels uncomfortable and is about to leave
Feeling unwelcome, Iolo is about to leave, but Wiliam persuades him to stay for a meal.
Gaynor cannot believe the incompetance . . .
Predictably, Gaynor is furious when she collects her laundry.   Dai blames Jim for the damage;  “It was the last thing he did before he was called away.   He is not skilled – I think I run a business with a chimpanzee!”
. . . or the derisory compensation
When he offers Gaynor £5, she informs him that the blouse cost £40, and as he raises the compensation to £10, “As it was not a brand new blouse,” 
"That's what I expect from monkeys – peanuts!"
she comments, “That’s what I expect from monkeys – peanuts!” and she stalks out.
Gwyneth insists she could do Dai a favour
Gwyneth arrived during this conversation, and concludes that Dai needs some help;  “I could do all this ironing for you, for a fair price.”   
"Two letters, N, O!"
Dai however dismisses her offer;  “Two letters, N and O – NO! – not hard to understand!”
"I'll be your Press and Media Officer!"
As Siôn and Britt are on the way to Anita’s, carrying a box of chocolates, they meet Gaynor, who enquires whether they are having a May Day event at the Deri this year, and offering herself as Press and Media Officer for it.   When Siôn says he was thinking of asking Hywel, she scolds him, “I’m surprised to see you siding with an adulterer!”
"A present to say sorry, is it?"
As soon as they enter Anita’s house, she says, “A present to say sorry, is it?”   
Siôn apologises
When Siôn apologises for spoiling her menu, 
"Britt did that with her lies!"
Anita retorts, “Britt did that with her lies!”   Siôn says they would like it if she came back to the Deri, and Anita remarks, “Just for the busy May Day, then ‘ta-ra’ when it’s quiet?”   Britt tells her, “No more of the fancy meals, unless I ask for them,” and Anita asks, “Realised you’re losing out without me?”   Siôn urges her to consider it.
Gwyneth faces the third degree
Gwyneth arrives home, where she is quizzed by Gemma;  “Why were you at APD?”   When Gwyneth says she wanted a couple of screws, “What did you want them for?   Where are they?”
Wiliam grabs the paperwork from Iolo
Iolo moves things off the table for the meal, and Wiliam becomes concerned that he may have seen something confidential, connected with his job.   
Something turned his stomach . . .
Finally he confesses that he saw something during his shift yesterday which turned his stomach.   
. . . and Iolo resents being 'shut out'
Iolo objects that he will not give details, but Wiliam insists there are certain things about his job he cannot divulge.
"Please stop lying"
Gwyneth has told Gemma that the screws were for hanging a picture of Y Wenallt, but Gemma tells her, “Please stop lying, but I don’t blame you lying to me.   Nobody likes me, no wonder you want to avoid me.   
"I understand why people hate me!"
I understand why people hate me, I agree with them!”   
"I don't hate you"
Gwyneth tries to calm her;  “I don’t hate you – I’m here for you.   Enough of this nonsense.”
Mark gives Anita some hints
Anita goes to the Deri with Mark, who has briefed her that she should insist on something for herself.   
She tells Siôn, “I’ll come back on one condition – that I choose the menu.”
Britt immediately pipes up, “I’m the boss . . .” 
"Of course – welcome back!"
but she is silenced by Siôn, who welcomes her back to the Deri.
"Gaynor is on the committee"
Siôn gives Hywel a free pint, with the proviso that CwmFM supports the May Day Festival;  however he warns that Gaynor volunteered to be on the committee.   Hywel seems untroubled by this.
"I'm doing what Meic would have wanted"
At home, Anita feels that she is doing the right thing, what Meic would want her to do.   
"There's nothing wrong with memories"
She asks Mark whether she should delete the picture of her and Meic from her phone;  “No, there’s nothing wrong with memories,” he replies, and produces the locket she took to Megan’s shop.   
She wears her locket once more
Anita puts it on again.
Dai carefully monitors what is going on
Hywel suspects that Gaynor is trying to keep CwmFM out of the May Day Festival, and when he leaves the bar, 
"That CwmFM is a bit 'parochial'!"
she mentions to Siôn that local radio is, “A bit parochial – we could do better than that!”
"The problem with you Casanovas . . ."
Hywel gets some unsolicited advice from Dai;  “The problem with you Casanovas is that you jump straight in, without thinking things through!”
Iolo does not like Gethin wearing his T-shirt
When Iolo gets home, Gethin is cooking lamb casserole, and wearing his T-shirt, which causes Iolo some concern;  “You had no right to go into my room!”
Although there is plenty of food, Iolo says he has already eaten and that Wiliam will not be over for a while.   He intends to go to bed, although it is only nine, but “Uncle Gethin” persuades him to talk.
"I just want him to be honest"
Iolo complains that, “He won’t talk to me about his work – could it be something to do with the Hangman game yesterday?   I just want him to be honest.”
"Sometimes it's better to lie!"
Gethin suggests, “Sometimes it’s better to lie,” but Iolo is adamant, “ The truth always comes out in the end!”

27 April 2015

Non chooses the letter "D"
Iolo is playing “Hangman” with Non, and she chooses the letter “D”;  
Wiliam does not approve of "Hangman"
Wiliam comes in from the kitchen, and objects to her playing that game.   
Non scribbles in the wrong place
When Gethin comes downstairs, he finds her scribbling on a picture drawn by his son, Daniel.   Although Wiliam apologises, Gethin hurriedly leaves.
Sioned fails to conceal her injury . . .
In the Deri, Garry advises Sioned it would be better for her to stay out of sight, 
. . . Garry advises her to keep out of sight . . .
both to allow her nose to heal and to avoid awkward questions.   The first of these comes from Eifion;  
. . . and Eifion asks the first awkward question
“Have you gone a couple of rounds with Joe Calzaghe?”   She cites the old excuse of walking into a door.
"She's too much of a risk – and a rubbish liar!"
Dani is not impressed with this and tells Garry, “Drop her now!   She’s too much of a risk – and a rubbish liar!   Even Eifion doesn’t believe her.”
Jinx's good news about adoption . . .
Jinx comes whistling into the café, and announces to Ffion, in front of everyone, that he has heard their Prospective Adopters’ Report is very supportive.   
. . . which Ffion wishes he would keep quiet about
Ffion wishes that he had told her this at home rather than in public, while both Kelly and Gethin, sitting nearby, look somewhat disturbed by the news.
Debbie discover that everyone knows about her birthday
Then Jinx asks Debbie, “Aren’t you celebrating your 45th next week?   Everyone knows.”   
"You'll make a cute family!"
Kelly assures Jinx, insincerely, “You’ll make a cute family,” and leaves.
The landlord finds a policeman in his property
Garry visits number 7, to collect his rent, and is astonished to find Wiliam and his daughter there.   “Iolo has just gone out for a takeaway,” Wiliam tells him, and when Garry asks Non what she ordered, 
"Beef Chow Mein," says Non
she replies, “Beef Chow Mein.”
Garry makes it look as if he is on good terms with the law . . .
Garry, wanting to avoid any suspicion, tells Wiliam to call him Garry, rather than Mr Monk, and shakes his hand.   When Iolo returns with the food, he hands Garry the rent cheque;  Wiliam says that there are now more officers looking into the car thefts.   
. . . but he refers to "a bad smell"
On the way out, Garry advises Iolo, “If I were you, I’d open the window, to get rid of the bad smell . . . the food, I mean!”
Eifion researching how to walk into a door
When Angela arrives at the Deri, she finds Eifion experimenting with the mechanics of walking into a door;  he tells her what has happened to Sioned.   
"Sioned's nose is in a right state!"
“Her nose is in a right state!   There’s a bit of history between her and Ed;  when he was taking steroids, he grabbed her a few times.”
"Did you do this?" Angela demands of Ed
This upsets Angela, so she marches upstairs to see Sioned;  “Oh, it looks awful!   Did you do this?” she demands of Ed, and urges Sioned not to be afraid to say what happened.
Ed comes up with an "embarrassing" story
Ed thinks quickly and says, initially to Sioned’s horror, “Well it’s rather embarrassing, but the truth is . . . Sioned has had plastic surgery – she didn’t like the size of her nose.   It isn’t funny!   She didn’t want people to know she was so vain.”   
Sioned has relaxed by now, and confirms his story.
"How much did that cost, then?"
Eifion wants to know how much it cost, and Angela insists there was nothing wrong with Sioned’s nose, but Sioned tells them she is convinced she made the right decision.
Kelly does look rather deflated
Gethin takes Kelly a drink in the Deri, saying she looks as if she needs cheering up.   
"I know you're disappointed"
“I know you’re disappointed about the adoption,” he tells her, and when she denies any such disappointment, continues, “So you’ll be all right when you see Ffion and Jinx walking round the village with a baby in a pram, like a ‘cute family’?”
"Oh, I get it!   You're the one who's upset!"
Kelly stresses that she is genuinely happy for them, then comes to the realisation, “I see – you’re the one who’s upset, not me!   It’s Ffion and Jinx, instead of Ffion and you!   Don’t take your frustrations out on me!   I can read you like a book – 
"And a crap book too!"
and a crap book too!   I’m going home – I’m not your psychiatrist.”
Angela tells Debbie about the plastic surgery, while looking in a mirror, 
"Do I have a big nose?"
and asks, “Do I have a big nose?   Be honest.”   Debbie assures her that her nose is not big, but her mouth certainly is, as half the village knows about her birthday.
Angela is relentless;  “There’s no shame in being 45.   You’re not old, but you’re not a teenager either.   What you need is a party, and I’ll organise one, like I did for Eileen.”
"It's my day, to do as I want!"
Debbie does not fancy a spa, or some sophisticated do;  she wants a blowout before she gets old.   “It’s my day, to do what I want!”
"You're going to get a little brother or sister"
Jinx brings Arwen home and tells her, “We have good news for you, don’t we, Mam?   You’re going to get a little brother or sister.”   Ffion says he should not mislead her, as it may not happen for months.   
Ffion does not share Jinx's excitement
Jinx, however, is excited;  “We can look forward to when three becomes four!   You are pleased, aren’t you?” and Ffion rather unconvincingly says she is.   He does apologise for announcing it so publicly;  
"To our exciting future!"
then they drink a non-alcoholic toast, “To our exciting future!”
"There won't be another job!"
Garry and Dani go to see Sioned and Ed.   Garry breaks the bad news, “There won’t be another job – I’m stopping everything.   It’s too risky, with a new factor – Iolo’s boyfriend, a pig sniffing round the village.   He said there are more officers investigating.”
Sioned tells them about the "nose job"
Sioned is not happy to hear the news, and tells them, “This one,” indicating Ed, “has given Eifion and Angela a new explanation about my nose – I’ve had a nose job!”   Dani hastily suppresses a snigger.
"You almost had me believing that"
At the bottom of the stairs, Dani compliments Garry on a pro job, telling Sioned he was giving it up, and he has great difficulty convincing her that he really has.   
"PC Parry is making things difficult"
“PC Parry is making things difficult – we have to watch him and be careful.”
"I want a piece of the action!"
Dani has her own ideas;  “You’re not giving up until I’ve had a go.   I want a piece of the action, to see what you and Sioned get out of it!   I’ll be really angry if you keep me out of this!”
Non doing the drying-up
Non is helping Wiliam with the washing-up, as he admits to Iolo that he may have overreacted with the “Hangman” game.   
"Sorry about the picture"
When Iolo returns, Non tells him, “Sorry about the picture – I made a new one!”
"Are we splitting the rent four ways?"
Gethin asks, “Are we splitting the rent four ways now instead of three?   I just want to know where Colin stands on this new situation.”   Iolo says there is no new situation, 
"Thanks for the food"
and Wiliam, seeing that Gethin is trying to get rid of him, leaves with Non, who tells Iolo, “Thanks for the food!”
"Happy now?"
“Happy now?” demands Iolo, “You can’t stand that no-one wants a relationship with you!”   
"Control your feelings . . . in front of his daughter"
Gethin replies, “I just don’t want to watch you two in my own home.   Control your feelings in front of other people, and in front of his daughter!”
"Are you homophobic"
“Have you got a problem with Wiliam and me?   Are you homophobic?” rages Iolo, “Did Daniel’s picture remind you that you don’t have a relationship with Daniel?   Re-opening old wounds?”
"No-one wants a relationship with me!"
In a fit of anger, Gethin rips Daniel’s picture in two;  “Like you said, no-one wants a relationship with me!” he snarls.
