Gwersyllwyr yn mynd nôl i’r 80au
DROS yr wythnosau diwethaf mae cyfres arbennig ar S4C – Nôl i’r Gwersyll – wedi mynd â gwylwyr ar daith nôl mewn amser i Wersyll yr Urdd Llangrannog.
Gan ddechrau yn y 50au a symud ymlaen at yr 80au, mae pob pennod yn rhoi cyfle i griw o gyn-wersyllwyr, eu teuluoedd a’u ffrindiau gamu nôl i brofi penwythnos yn y gwersyll i hel atgofion a chreu rhai newydd.
Ac ym mhob pennod yn y gyfres, sy’n rhan o ddathliadau canmlwyddiant yr Urdd, mae’r gwersyllwyr yn cael profiad gwyliau o’r gorffennol gyda’r bwyd, y dillad, y gweithgareddau a’r adloniant i gyd yn driw i’r cyfnod.
I ofalu ac i arwain y gwersyllwyr, wrth gwrs, mae’r swogs - ac fe fydd sawl wyneb cyfarwydd yn eu plith. Ieuan Rhys, Martyn Geraint a Keith “Bach” Davies sy’n swogio yn y rhaglen o’r 80au nos yfory.
Meddai Martyn: “Oni’n gweithio yn y siop; oni hefyd yn plico tato a’u paratoi ar gyfer y sglodion – atgofion melys iawn. Mae’n braf bod nôl yma yng Ngwersyll yr Urdd Llangrannog – o’dd e fel dod getre.”
Roedd Keith yn swog ar ddechrau’r 80au. “Mae dal atgofion melys iawn ’da fi. A’r ffrinidie nes i bryd hynny, fi dal yn ffrindie gyda nhw.”
Bu datblygiadau mawr yn y gwersyll yn yr 80au ac mae’n ta ta ar y pebyll a’r cabannau wrth i floc cysgu newydd a champfa cael eu hadeiladu. Dyma’r degawd cyntaf i’r bechgyn gael cysgu mewn dorm!
Ar ddiwedd yr 80au cyflwynwyd gweithgaredd newydd i’r gwersyll – un sydd wedi bod yn ffefryn i nifer ers hynny sef sgïo!
Yn ystod y rhaglen hon cawn weld y gwersyllwyr yn mwynhau ar gwrs rhaffau ac yn paratoi ar gyfer noson yn y disco – ac yn ymuno yn hwyl y disgo bydd gwesteion go arbennig, sef criw o ffoaduriaid o Wcráin sydd yn aros yn y gwersyll.
Meddai Keith: “Ar hyd y blynyddoedd mae gwaith teyrngarol yr Urdd a’r brawdgarwch maen nhw wedi dangos ar draws y byd a hybu heddwch wedi bod yn anhygoel ac mae hyn yn parhau wrth i ni groesawu ffrindiau o Wcráin yma gyda ni.”
Meddai Ieuan ar ddiwedd ei benwythnos o swogio: “Wi jyst yn meddwl pa mor lwcus yw plant Cymru i gael hwn. Mae cymaint wedi newid ers i’r adeg oni’n swogo fan hyn ac mae’n anhygoel yma.”

THE upcoming fifth season of The Crown is coming to Netflix at a rather unusual time – it will be the first series of the fan-favourite royal drama to be released after the deaths of both Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022 and Prince Philip in April 2021 and the ascension of King Charles III to the throne, marking a new era for the monarchy.
Charles and Diana are set to be at the forefront of this new series, which tells the tale of the fateful events of the 1990s, including Diana’s eye-opening Panorama interview with Martin Bashir which was broadcast in 1995.
With a whole new cast including Imelda Staunton taking over the role of Queen Elizabeth II from Olivia Colman, Elizabeth Debicki replacing Emma Corrin as Diana and Dominic West following Josh O’connor in playing Prince Charles, there’s plenty to look forward to.
Season five of the Crown begins the story of a rather fraught decade for the royal family, as the public openly questions their role in 1990s Britain, a constitutional crisis presents itself as Charles
Queens For The Night
Tonight, ITV, 8.30pm
As anyone who has watched any of the various iterations of Rupaul’s Drag Race will know, drag is its own art form – and there’s a lot more to it than simply dressing up.
If you’re still not sure just what it involves, then Queens For The Night, hosted by Lorraine Kelly, could prove to be the perfect introduction.
The famous faces taking the plunge are Coronation Street favourite Simon Gregson, fitness icon Mr Motivator, Love Island star Chris Hughes, Union J’s George Shelley, Eastenders legend Adam Woodyatt and England rugby star Joe Marler. They will be given mentors and a makeover as they master the skills to put on a cabaret-style show for judges Melanie C, Rob Beckett, Courtney Act and Layton Williams. pressures his mother to allow him to divorce Diana and international affairs, such as the collapse of the USSR, present both obstacles and opportunities.
“I think this series is a great series for unravelling and she [the Queen] has many issues to deal with which makes for very good writing and, hopefully, very good viewing,” says Imelda Staunton, 66.
“I think this series has a lot to offer insofar as there are a lot of things to tackle rather than just the Queen going about her duties.”
“It’s the 1990s,” says Lesley Manville, 66, who takes over from Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret this season.
“There’s a lot going on with Charles and Diana, and then Diana and Dodi, and the Al Fayed family in general. There’s John Major and Tony Blair comes in towards the end.
There’s the Windsor fire, the friendship between Prince Philip and Penny and all sorts of big, epic stories going on.
“These are the stories that everyone knows about because they’re history, but then there’s all the quiet little dramas going on underneath that people don’t know about. Drama with a capital D! A little peek into what a day might be like for Margaret or any of the royals.
“I like that juxtaposition of these big dramas with the quiet stories going on underneath, which is what makes The Crown so unique and appealing. You see the other side of the royal coin, as it were.”
When we meet Prince Charles this series, he is “in the prime of his life, but at the depths of his tragedy, if I can call it that – the tragedy of his broken marriage,” says West, 53. “That is an interesting tension throughout this season – Charles wanting to champion all the causes he’s always championed and being at the top of his game
The Pact Monday, BBC1, 9pm The second series of The Pact has proved to be just as compelling as the first. In tonight’s third episode, tensions are sky high as the wedding day finally arrives.
Connor turns up uninvited and armed with some damning information and, while Christine, played by Rakie Ayola, pictured, is doing her best to keep it together, no-one can predict what his next move will be.
The wedding night goes from bad to worse after Connor tries to confront him and mend their relationship, forcing Christine to step in.
