Behind
the Scenes It was clear that we needed to visit another character. Taj stayed in part of the episode of course but it was time to realise Lyrical Gethin to his full potential. Thaer Al-Shayei the well known Cardiff actor, poet and short film producer gave one hundred percent to the project appearing most days during the filming process. He supplied locations, cars, some food, and unrequited energy when the rest of the cast and crew were feeling low. He gave so much that we had no choice but to give him an Associate Producer credit on top his main role (some people argue he needed a higher billing, and rightly so). The role was originally written for a white guy but with Thaer, we knew we wanted him and re-wrote the role for his look. He took to it like a duck to water. He had to MC a party scene in The Gate in Roath, he had to try it on with the women, and had to relax and then tighten his morals to become the “bad boy angel” we’ve all scene whilst growing up in Cardiff. They mean no harm but care nothing for stealing from the company they work for. The chase scene was the most fun in this episode. We raced the cars through Roath’s lanes for best part of four hours and then went to Heath Park car park to pull a few skids. Not all the footage made the cut but I think what we used does the episode justice. Elizabeth Cairns who plays Suzanne in this episode is a Pobl Y Cwm regular and professional actress by trade. The house we used for her scene happened to be in Swansea, owned by Neil Ap Jones the CEO of the World Welsh festival. He also lent us little Evan who brought his own style of genius making it funnier than was actually scripted. So many talents were involved I feel privileged to have been part of it. Tell the world!
Pizza Dough Recipe For the pizza dough, throw the following ingredients into a bread maker and set to the pizza dough setting – - 350g strong white plain flour
- 7g easy blend yeast sachet
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 225ml (8 fl oz) milk (or water)
- optional – teaspoon of sugar or honey
- optional – 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- optional – 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
This takes a couple of hours so you do have to plan ahead with the dough. I have included sugar and salt as optional extras - it's up to you if you want to add them - we all have too much salt and sugar and it is not really necessary in this recipe. Pizza Hut (and they are not alone) have the opposite view - you have to drink a gallon of water after one of their pizzas to quench the salt thirst! Using this amount of dough, you can make 3 pizza bases – either 12-inch thin crust or 8-inch deep-dish or thereabouts – you might have different size trays and maybe only get 2 pizza bases. Divide the dough into 3 roughly equal amounts and using a rolling pin on a floured surface, roll to roughly the same size as the pizza trays that you are using. I am making 2 x 8-inch deep-dish pizza bases and 1 x 12-inch thin crust pizza base. This is enough dough to feed a family of 4 – 2 adults and 2 small children. If you have any little helpers knocking about, get them to help roll the pizzas - get them involved from an early age and they grow up thinking it is normal to make pizza with fresh ingredients rather than pulling a piece of cardboard out of the freezer. Plus with fresh pizza, you know exactly what you are eating - you can skip on the salt and the sugar for instance. Don't go overboard though and try using wholemeal flour - that is just rank! Liberal use of olive oil in the pizza trays – obviously not the trays with the holes in though! Pop the pizza base in the trays and fold the edges if a little too big. |
