DATHLU GWOBR SIÂN PHILLIPS CELEBRATING THE SIÂN PHILLIPS AWARD
Portread | Portrait: Francesca Jones
Cafodd gwobr Siân Phillips, a gafodd ei chyflwyno am y tro cyntaf yng Ngwobrau BAFTA Cymru 2005, ei sefydlu i ddathlu cyfraniad arbennig gan unigolyn o Gymru i’r diwydiannau sgrin. Eleni yw’r 20fed tro iddi gael ei dyfarnu, gyda phob un o’r 20 derbynnydd yn enwau cyfarwydd ar lwyfan y byd. Maen nhw’n cynrychioli’r gorau sydd gan ddiwydiannau creadigol Cymru i’w gynnig, o’r doniau eithriadol ar y sgrin i’r consurwyr sy’n gweithio y tu ôl i’r llenni. Eleni, mae’r wobr wedi’i hail-enwi’n Wobr Cyfraniad Arbennig Siân Phillips BAFTA Cymru i adlewyrchu’n well effaith y derbynwyr ar gelfyddydau’r sgrin. Gyda thros 140 o gyfraniadau ar sgrin a llawer mwy ar lwyfan, mae Siân Phillips yn un o actorion enwocaf gwledydd Prydain. Mae’n ysbrydoliaeth hyd heddiw, a does neb yn fwy addas i roi eu henw i’r wobr hon am Gyfraniad Arbennig.

First presented at the 2005 BAFTA Cymru Awards, the Siân Phillips Award was introduced to celebrate the significant contribution a Welsh individual has made to the screen industries. This year marks the 20th time it has been awarded, with all 20 recipients familiar names on the world stage. They represent the very best the Welsh creative industries have to offer, from exceptional onscreen talent to the magicians working behind the scenes. This year, the award has been retitled to the BAFTA Cymru Siân Phillips Outstanding Contribution Award to better reflect the recipients’ impact on the screen arts.

With more than 140 screen credits and many more for the stage, Siân Phillips is one of the UK’s most celebrated actors. She continues to be an inspiration, and no one is more fitting to lend their name to this Outstanding Contribution award.

CAROL VORDERMAN
14
GWOBR BAFTA CYMRU SIÂN PHILLIPS AM GYFRANIAD ARBENNIG I’R BYD TELEDU Wrth feddwl am y safon ar gyfer menywod deallus, cryf ac annibynnol sy’n gweithio ym myd darlledu, does dim llawer yn gallu cystadlu â Carol Vorderman MBE. Ar ôl dod i’r amlwg fel athrylith mathemateg yn 21 oed, mae Carol wedi sicrhau ei lle fel enw uchel ei pharch mewn gyrfa amlweddog, gan gynnwys fel cyflwynydd rhaglenni dydd cyfarwydd, addysgwr angerddol, awdur llyfrau poblogaidd ac ymgyrchydd gwleidyddol a chymdeithasol di-flewyn-ar-dafod, ymhlith ei doniau niferus.
Portread | Portrait: Dan Kennedy / The Sunday Times / News Licensing Delwedd | Image: Channel 4 / Lifted Entertainment
Magwyd Carol yn y gogledd mewn tlodi llwyr, fel yr ieuengaf o dri o blant, gan riant sengl (roedd ei rhieni wedi gwahanu ers pan oedd hi’n dair wythnos oed). Roedd hi’n un o’r plant prydau ysgol am ddim mewn ysgol gyfun yn y Rhyl, lle llwyddodd i ragori. Ar ôl ennill lle i astudio peirianneg yng Nghaergrawnt pan oedd hi’n ddim ond 17 oed, digwydd gweld hysbyseb yn y Yorkshire Post yn cynnig gwaith i fenyw oedd â gwybodaeth dda o fathemateg oedd yr hyn osododd Carol ar ei llwybr ym myd darlledu. Ei mam wnaeth y cais mewn gwirionedd, gan ffugio llofnod Carol cyn dweud wrthi beth roedd hi wedi’i wneud. Fe ddaeth hi’n amlwg wedyn mai swydd oedd hon ar gyfer Countdown, y gêm deledu boblogaidd a lansiodd Channel 4 yn 1982. Gyda’i dawn wrth y bwrdd Llythrennau a Rhifau, magodd Carol fyddin o gefnogwyr gyda’i meddwl cyflym, ei charisma diamheuol a’i chwerthiniad diymatal. Ar ôl 26 mlynedd o ryfeddu’r gynulleidfa, gadawodd y rhaglen yn 2008.
15
Yn ystod ei blynyddoedd ar Countdown, ac ers hynny, mae wedi bod yn hollbresennol ar deledu gwledydd Prydain, gan arwain rhaglenni fel Loose Women, Pride of Britain Awards, Stars and Their Lives, Tomorrow’s World, Mysteries with Carol Vorderman a Better Homes, ac ymddangos fel gwestai neu gystadleuydd ar lu o rai eraill. Yn 2020, ymunodd â’i chyd-gyflwynydd Owain Wyn Evans i ddysgu Cymraeg ar gyfer rhaglen Iaith ar Daith S4C.
16
Rywle yn y canol, daeth o hyd i’r amser i sefydlu a rhedeg cwmni cynhyrchu annibynnol yn y nawdegau, yn ogystal ag ysgrifennu nifer o lyfrau addysgol i blant, a sefydlu’r wefan tiwtora ar-lein The Maths Factor ar gyfer plant 4-11 oed, sydd wedi dysgu bron i filiwn o blant hyd yn hyn. Yn fwy diweddar, wedi’i gyrru gan deimlad dwfn y dylai gwledydd Prydain ymdrechu am rywbeth gwell, ysgrifennodd Now What? On a Mission to Fix Broken Britain.
"DW I'N TEIMLO FEL Y DDYNES FWYA FFODUS YN Y BYD… MAE ENNILL Y WOBR YMA WIR YN RHOI'R EISIN AR Y GACEN."
Mae’r wobr hon, a gyflwynir yn enw un o brif arwyr byd y ddrama, Siân Phillips, yn ychwanegu at anrhydeddau eraill Carol, gan gynnwys cael ei phenodi’n MBE yn 2000. Meddai: “Dw i’n teimlo fel y ddynes fwya ffodus yn y byd. Fel merch fach ym Mhrestatyn oedd yn gwybod na fyddai Mam yn gallu fforddio prynu anrhegion Nadolig eto eleni, fyddwn i byth wedi breuddwydio am y bywyd dw i wedi’i gael gan y byd teledu. Ar ôl 44 mlynedd ar y sgrin fach, mae ennill y wobr yma wir yn rhoi’r eisin ar y gacen. Can diolch i chi BAFTA.”

BAFTA CYMRU SIÂN PHILLIPS AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION TO TELEVISION In terms of setting the standard for strong, intelligent, independent women working in broadcasting, few names rival Carol Vorderman MBE. Shot to fame as a 21-year-old maths ace, Carol has since cemented her place as a respected household name across a multifaceted career, including cherished daytime show host, impassioned educator, bestselling author and outspoken political and social campaigner, among her many other talents.
18
"I’M THE LUCKIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD… WINNING THIS AWARD IS TRULY THE ICING ON THE WELSH CAKE." Carol was brought up in abject poverty in North Wales, the youngest of three children with a single parent (her parents had separated when she was three weeks old). She was a free school meals’ child in a comprehensive in Rhyl where she excelled. After winning a place to read engineering at Cambridge when she was just 17, it was a serendipitous Yorkshire Post ad offering employment to a woman with good knowledge of maths that set Carol on her broadcasting path. It was actually her mother who made the application, forging Carol’s signature before telling her what she’d done. That job turned out to be for Countdown, the popular game show that launched Channel 4 in 1982.
Commanding the Letters and Numbers board, Carol’s quick wits, unmistakable charisma and irrepressible laugh won her a legion of fans. After 26 years wowing audiences, she finally left the show in 2008. During her Countdown years, and since, she’s been ever-present on British TV, fronting the likes of Loose Women, the Pride of Britain Awards, Stars and Their Lives, Tomorrow’s World, Mysteries with Carol Vorderman and Better Homes and guesting or competing on numerous others. She also joined fellow presenter Owain Wyn Evans to learn Welsh for S4C’s 2020 show, Iaith ar Daith. Somewhere in between, she found the time to found and run an independent production company in the 1990s, write multiple educational books for children and establish the online tutoring site The Maths Factor for 4-11 year olds, which has taught almost 1 million children to date. More recently, driven by a genuine concern for the UK to strive for better, she wrote Now What? On a Mission to Fix Broken Britain. This award, presented in honour of Welsh acting legend Siân Phillips, adds to Carol’s other accolades, including being appointed MBE in 2000. She says: “I’m the luckiest woman in the world. From being a little girl in Prestatyn who knew Mum couldn’t afford any Christmas presents again this year, I could never have dreamed of the life that TV has given me. After 44 years on the small screen, receiving this award is truly the icing on the Welsh cake. Thank you, BAFTA, a thousand times.”

LAUREN EVANS
GWOBR BAFTA CYMRU AM GYFRANIAD ARBENNIG I’R GREFFT Os oes un peth sy’n nodedig am waith y cyfarwyddwr castio Lauren Evans, ei gallu greddfol i weld potensial fyddai hynny, yn enwedig mewn actorion ifanc ar gyfer rhannau teimladwy a diffuant. Mae hyn i’w weld yn amlwg yng nghast amrywiol cyfresi fel Sex Education (2019-2023) a Lost Boys and Fairies (2024), sydd rhyngddynt wedi ennill pedwar enwebiad BAFTA i Lauren. Portread | Portrait: BAFTA / Oliver Holms Delweddau | Images: Stuart Wilson/BAFTA; Greg Willaims; Joe Maher
Efallai fod gonestrwydd plaen hyd yn oed yn bwysicach i lwyddiant I Swear (2025), ffilm fywgraffyddol bryfoclyd am John Davidson sy’n byw gyda chyflwr Tourette. Gwerth nodi bod y ffilm wedi ennill dwy BAFTA, un i’r prif actor Robert Aramayoa’r llall i Lauren. Efallai fod gwobrau mawr a chydnabyddiaeth gan y diwydiant yn ymddangos fel byd arall o gymharu â phentref genedigol Lauren yn yr Hendy yn Sir Gâr, ond allai hi ddim bod wedi cael hyfforddiant gwell. Cafodd Lauren brentisiaeth gyda dau o oreuon y byd, Kate Dowd a Nina Gold. Treuliodd chwe blynedd gyda Nina Gold, gan weithio’i ffordd i fyny o gynorthwyydd i swyddog, gan helpu i gastio ffilmiau llwyddiannus fel Paddington, The Theory of Everything (y ddwy yn 2014), Game of Thrones (2015-2017) a Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015).
21
Ar ôl rhannu’r clod gyda Nina Gold fel cydgyfarwyddwr castio ar y ffilmiau hynod boblogaidd Paddington 2 a Taboo (y ddwy yn 2017), penderfynodd Lauren fynd yn annibynnol yn 2018. Ers hynny, mae wedi adeiladu portffolio grymus o waith, gan gynnwys Chloe (2022), Renegade Nell (2024) a The Great Escaper (2023). Gydag I Swear yn ennill iddi wobr BAFTA, BIFA a gwobr Urdd y Cyfarwyddwyr Castio – yr olaf yn ychwanegu at ei dwy wobr flaenorol ganddynt am Sex Education – mae Lauren wedi sicrhau ei lle fel un o gyfarwyddwyr castio blaenllaw’r diwydiant.
22
“DW I MOR FALCH O FOD YN BERSON CREADIGOL O GYMRU, A BYDD CAEL DATHLU HYN YN ÔL GARTREF… YN GYMAINT O GYFFRO.”
Wrth dderbyn y wobr arbennig hon gan BAFTA Cymru, meddai Lauren: “Dw i’n teimlo’n ostyngedig ac yn gwerthfawrogi’r fraint o fod y cyntaf i ennill y wobr yma. Dw i mor falch o fod yn berson creadigol o Gymru, a bydd cael dathlu hyn yn ôl gartref, yng nghanol pobl rydw i wedi’u hedmygu mor hir, yn gymaint o gyffro.”
BAFTA CYMRU AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION TO CRAFT If the work of casting director Lauren Evans can be characterised by anything it would be her innate ability to spot potential, especially from young actors required for authentic and heartfelt roles. This is clearly on show in the diverse casts of Sex Education (2019-2023) and Lost Boys & Fairies (2024), which have earned Lauren four BAFTA nominations between them. Frank honesty was perhaps even more essential to the success of I Swear (2025), the provocative biopic of John Davidson who lives with the condition of Tourettes. Notably, the film won two BAFTAs, one for lead actor Robert Aramayo and the other for Lauren.
23
“I’M SO PROUD TO BE A WELSH CREATIVE, AND TO CELEBRATE THIS ON HOME SOIL… WILL BE SUCH A THRILL.” Industry recognition and awards may be a far cry from Lauren’s home village of Hendy in Carmarthenshire, but her training could not have been better. Lauren was stewarded by two of the world’s best, Kate Dowd and Nina Gold. She spent six years with the latter, working her way up from assistant to associate, helping cast such hits as Paddington, The Theory of Everything (both 2014), Game of Thrones (2015-2017) and Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015).
After sharing the casting director credit with Gold on the hugely popular Paddington 2 and Taboo (both 2017), Lauren decided to go independent in 2018. Since then, she’s amassed a compelling portfolio of work, including the likes of Chloe (2022), Renegade Nell (2024) and The Great Escaper (2023). With I Swear winning her a BAFTA, a BIFA and a Casting Directors’ Guild award – the latter adding to her two previous CDG wins for Sex Education – Lauren has cemented her place as one of the industry’s leading casting directors. Receiving this special BAFTA Cymru award, Lauren says: “I am incredibly honoured and humbled to be the first recipient of this award. I’m so proud to be a Welsh creative, and to celebrate this on home soil, surrounded by people I have long admired, will be such a thrill.”
