Gary Raymond and guests cast a critical eye on what's on in the Welsh arts scene. This month crime and costume drama, a new book on Tom Jones and the songs of Dilys Elwyn Edwards.

Gary Raymond and his guests cast a critical eye on what's going on in the Welsh arts scene. As an antidote to the bleak midwinter, this month's edition brings a sense of cultural hygge to the Review Show as the panel hunker down at home to watch new drama, read rock biography and listen to the music of an acclaimed Welsh woman composer. 

Poet Paul Chambers and theatre critic Dr Emily Garside join Gary to review Andrew Davies' adaptation of Les Miserables and the new S4C thriller series 35 Awr. They'll also be giving their views on Just Help Yourself - a new book on Tom Jones written by Vernon Hopkins, a fellow band-member alongside Jones in The Squires before the Welsh superstar went solo. And they'll share their thoughts on Mae Hiraeth yn y Mor, a collection of the songs of Dilys Elwyn-Edwards, sung by soprano Elin Manahan Thomas.
