Wawffactor was a Welsh television music talent show contested by aspiring pop singers drawn from public auditions. It was broadcast on S4C between 2003 and 2006 and was produced by Al Fresco.
It has now gained fame for contestant Duffy, now a major worldwide artist, who competed in the first series of the show, finishing second behind Lisa Pedrick.
The series tells the story of two families from west Wales over a period of half a century, starting in the 1950s and continuing until the present day.
A young girl named Baz dreams of nothing more than finding a best friend. Her wish comes true when two roaming Welsh Mountain ponies Molly and Dylan, show up at her farm with Shetland pony Scruffy. Their playful frolics change her life forever.
Ffermio is a farming and countryside magazine series, which is broadcast on S4C on Monday nights at 8.25pm.
Ffermio was launched in 1997 and the original series was presented by Sulwyn Thomas, Gerallt Pennant and Rachael Garside, and dealt with the latest farming issues, as well as including the latest livestock market prices throughout Wales.
In 2005 the series was relaunched with a new branding and presenting team. The launch included the usual weekly Ffermio programme on S4C, and a twice-weekly farming news and weather bulletin on S4C Digidol. The new presenters included Iola Wyn, Daloni Metcalfe, Alun Elidyr and Mererid Wigley.
The Bwletin Ffermio included details on legislation and market prices for example, which meant that longer items could be featured in the half-hour programmes on subjects of wider appeal such as organic food, transport, health and rural housing, and portraits of rural characters from all ages and backgrounds. Mererid Wigley was the main presenter of this programme, until August 2008.
Cân i Gymru is a Welsh television show broadcast on S4C annually. It was first introduced in 1969 when BBC Cymru wanted to enter the Eurovision Song Contest.

Cân i Gymru is different from most talent shows. Whereas the majority invite the public to participate, Cân i Gymru welcomes only professional artists. It takes place on March 1st, St David's Day.
