Gary Raymond and guest scrutinise Welsh arts, entertainment and popular culture. Tonight he's joined by poet and academic Dr Kate North and author and academic Dr Laura Wainwright.

The panel explore two very different books, one factual, one fiction. The panel share their views on Menna Elfyn’s biographical work on a pioneering Welsh poet and writer - 'Absolute Optimist: Remembering Eluned Phillips'; and the new novel from Deborah Kay Davies, 'Tirzah and the Prince of Crows', a coming of age story set in the Welsh valleys of the 1970s.

Sir Bryn Terfel’s first studio album for five years 'Dreams and Songs', in which he duets with some surprising singers, is also reviewed. And the panel take a look at Â鶹Éç Wales’ new living history series 'Back In Time for the Factory', which takes Welsh women of today into the very different world of the 1960s clothing production line.
