Gareth and Esyllt's Scrapbook is available NOW on BBC Sounds! Each episode tackles two years in recent history with archive, music and guests. There are three episodes available now featuring Sunil Patel, Claudine Boulstridge of Healthy Family Food Ideas, Miles Jupp and my (Gareth's) mum. Oh and there's clips appearing on Instagram and TikTok too in which my (Gareth's) face is almost permanently obscured. Check it out!

The World Cup, OJ Simpson, Diana's Revenge Dress and all that surrounds it - it turns out June 1994 was a Big Month, but there's plenty of details we'd never come across before. Yes, Diana Ross missed the penalty which was meant to kick-off the 1994 World Cup, but that was probably the least shambolic moment in their wildly chaotic opening ceremony. Similarly, outside the Serpentine Gallery, Lady Diana is pulling focus away from Prince Charles' 2 hour TV documentary, by turning up to dinner in her famous Revenge Dress, but have you ever stopped to wonder who the bloke she shakes hands with is? All will be revealed.

The opening ceremony of the 1994 FIFA World Cup is available here.

Probably as good a time as any to remind you that Esyllt has another podcast, Speaking As A Mother, with Robin Morgan. Gareth (me) doesn't have another podcast, but would like you to come and see his show Cyril in Edinburgh if you're about and he's (me, still) also doing Work In Progresses on 8 July in London, 14 July in Cardiff and one in Bath but details for that aren't available yet. But soon!

Gareth and Esyllt's Scrapbook is available NOW on BBC Sounds! This is a brand new show for BBC Radio Wales. In each edition, we'll tackle two years in recent history with archive, music and guests. There are three episodes available now, featuring Josie Long, Sunil Patel, Claudine Boulstridge of Healthy Family Food Ideas, Miles Jupp and, still to come in the run, my (Gareth's) mum. Oh and there's clips appearing on Instagram and TikTok too in which my (Gareth's) face is almost permanently obscured.

Anyway, today's show is about June 2005. Gareth Gwynn has just handed in his final year project on "Viewpoint Invariant Content Based Image Retrieval for Urban Navigation" while The Queen inspected a naval fleet (footage of the evening celebrations are here). There's also key updates on car of the month, mayor of the month and proverb of the month.

Anyway, to today's episode... May 1992. A dog from a soap opera dies in this one and, honestly, that's not the most miserable thing that happens. I feel like trigger warnings abound for just "miserable stuff" but tucked inside things which sound fun - There's the launch of Wire TV, which you can check out on YouTube after you've listened to the show, and there's the International Space Year 1992 - the poster of which probably has to be seen to be believed.

We're excited to say we are joined by the brains behind the Beef and Dairy Network and one third of Three Bean Salad, Benjamin Partridge - Live from Machynlleth Comedy Festival!

As well as learning how Benjamin spent the Millennium, his relationship with the millennium dome and his Xennial Dome choice, we take a deep dive into May 1996, the era of Gina G and Lynx Inca. You'll undoubtedly want to check-out the many and various things mentioned in the show, so lets get stuck in with a bunch of links...

Barry Welsh Is Coming

The best of the first couple of series is on YouTube here.

There's a playlist of later episodes here.

Eurovision 1996

Gina G's Eurovision performance is here.

I also heartily recommend this video by YouTuber morbidsearch entitled "Why 1996 was the WEIRDEST Eurovision Ever".

While I'm here, a small factual correction, the next TOTAL solar eclipse in the UK isn't due to happen until 2090, so even further away than I thought. Best of luck to those who think they can make it.

BBC Radio Wales

Gareth and Esyllt's Scrapbook is a brand new show on BBC Radio Wales (and BBC Sounds, obviously!), starting on 16th May 2026. In each episode we'll tackle two years with archive, music and guests - with the first episode featuring Josie Long and Sunil Patel as we pull apart 1999 and 1984. We're currently planning episodes later in the run so would love to know your memories of 1982, 1992, 1994 and 2005. Do drop us a line by email or on any of the socials before May 16th, and you might get a shout-out on the show later in the series.

As for this show? It all kicks off with an email from Kate about Labyrinth, a big (and scary) film from 1989 so we cover films and TV which had a lasting impression on you before moving on to the month of April when everyone was on strike, but the Game Boy hadn't quite reached Britain, so goodness knows how everyone filled their time.

Before I write this week's show write up, did you notice how I spelled "Van Gogh" as "Van Gough" last time? Full disclosure, that was me spelling it the wrong way by mistake, not noticing till it arrived on everyone's podcast feeds then going to change it and deciding it was probably funnier in the light of all the other Welsh people mentioned in that episode that I'd spelled it the Welsh way and looked like a funny joke - so just decided to leave it.

Anyway, it's another Welsh-heavy episode this week. There was a UK census in 1981 but it was the question regarding Welsh speakers, and the rather disappointing answer it returned, that loomed large in Esyllt's life. We talk about lying about eating Weetabix, why women are being replaced with birds and consider talking about Bucks Fizz and then don't.

We've got a BBC Radio Wales show coming up. We'll be covering 1999, 1997, 1984 and 1982 - Any memories of those years in particular? Let us know (before 19th April!) You can contact us on [email protected] or one of the following...

Okay, you can tell this one is late coming out because it's an episode all about March. You can cope with that though, can't you?

It's 1987 - The world is preparing for Timothy Dalton's Bond debut, but we're more interested in a future famous face popping up in Pobol Y Cwm, Esyllt Sears describes the celebrity she couldn't resist shouting their catchphrase at, there's a very confusing diversion about religion and then we discuss whether Van Gough's Sunflowers are all they're cracked up to be.

We've got a BBC Radio Wales show coming up. We'll be covering 1999, 1997, 1984 and 1982 - Any memories of those years in particular? Let us know (before mid-April!) You can contact us on [email protected] or one of the following...

Remember what the world smelt-like pre-2006? We do. And in an ideal world, you'd enjoy this episode about the smoking ban in a room thick with smoke, after which, you'd have the intense and urgent need to wash your clothes and hair as fast as possible.

It's St David's Day!

(Or it is on March 1st, so it slightly depends when you listen to this episode).

Either way, we've decided to do an episode that is unambiguously and unashamedly Welsh. I mean, they ALL are really, but this time we're going to lean into it - and who better to talk about all things Dewi Sant than the superb Welsh comedy writer SIAN HARRIES!

Sian is the co-writer of the hit BBC One comedy-drama Death Valley, Channel 4's Man Down, is one of the writers and stars of BBC One Wales' Tourist Trap and the S4C sketch show O'r Diwedd. She also co-presents The Froth Podcast with Rhod Gilbert. Sian talks us through some of the most miserable meals and uncomfortable costumes you've ever heard about, as well as a blow-by-blow account of the secondary school Eisteddfod experience. There's plenty of picking apart the difference between English-language and Welsh-language Wales, as well as Sian's selection for The Xennial Dome, lots of relevant Winter Olympic discussion and memories of looking sad in a shoe shop at the death of Princess Diana.

Sian mentions a school Eisteddfod performance with Elis James - Don't forget you can hear his episode, live from the London Welsh Centre, here.
