The description for Llan-ar-goll-en has gone missing?! Sound the siren!!!Llan-ar-goll-en is a Welsh detective Preschool Show created by Siwan Jobbins that originally ran on S4C's Cyw block from 23 December 2013 to 14 March 2016. Produced by Twt Productions and Cwmni Da, the show follows the escapades of two detectives that are complete opposites from each other; clumsy Prys ar Frys and his talking dog companion Ceri, who solve many mysteries in the titular small, wacky village where things tend to get lost. Prys wants to get things done immediately and often jumps to silly conclusions, while more sensible Ceri always has the right idea and thinks things through. It lasted for 51 episodes (that typically ran for 12-14 minutes) across two series, including a half-hour Christmas Special.The village of Llan-ar-goll-en was filmed in Portmeirion, Wales. The show is mostly live action, but all of the animals are animated, such as Ceri the Dog-tective. It was broadcast in Welsh with English subtitles, as an English dub was never produced.Llan-ar-goll-en is often compared to Blue's Clues, another preschool show about a live action man and his animated female dog solving mysteries, but the man can't quite find the answer without some help. Where this show mostly differs is that it's more of a traditional detective show, it avoids Fake Interactivity with the audience, and the world of Llan-ar-goll-en is predominantly live action instead of animated, almost like it's an inversion of the popular Nick Jr. show.You can view all of series 1 here, and series 2 here. See the showreel for series 1 here, and series 2 here. Some character bios (in Welsh only) were uploaded to Cwmni Da's YouTube channel, with the remaining three being uploaded to Vimeo. Interactive apps and e-books were made for the show and released on the iTunes appstore and Google Play.Oh, and the show also has an incredibly catchy Theme Tune that won't leave your head, even if you don't speak Welsh. You can listen to it here.

Look Behind You: Prys does this to Tara, when she almost coerces him into accepting her request for the two of them to go to the ghost train at the fair (of which Prys is horribly terrified by).

Mystery Magnet: This is basically the case for Amateur Sleuths Prys and Ceri, as there is always a mystery the two detectives have to solve each day in Llan-ar-goll-en. Even on his own birthday Prys still has a mystery to solve, for example. Then again, the village that they live in is a pun on the Welsh word for "lost".

Accent Slip-Up: Inverted in "Bysedd y Cwn". Prys can't remember how to solve mysteries without Ceri, so Mrs. Tomos tells him to ask her if she has seen anything strange today. Prys then repeats her question, pronouncing heddiw ("today") in Mrs. Tomos' Southwalian, before correcting himself and reverting to his own Northwalian.

Always Someone Better
 Llan-ar-goll-en / int_19d1c1ae
comment
Always Someone Better: Ceri, Prys' Detective Animal sidekick, almost always manages to solve the mystery at the end of each episode, while Prys himself has gained a reputation by even the narrator to always get it wrong. Let's just say their dynamic is basically the living embodiment of this trope, and yet, they're still always the best of friends.

Hollywood Tone-Deaf: Prys and Beti's singing voices both sound extremely exaggerated – and sure enough, both Rhys ap Trefor and Siw Hughes (who play both characters, respectively) are talented actors, the latter of which plays Kath Jones in the long-running Soap Opera Pobol y Cwm, and won an award for being the best actress in it.

Thick-Line Animation: All of the animals are animated in this style, with heavy black outlines surrounding them. Any accessories they are wearing however will usually be of a darker colored outline (for example, Ceri's hat has a dark green outline, and her bow's outline is dark pink).

OnceAnEpisode
 Llan-ar-goll-en / int_37499c8
comment
This is perhaps the most obvious in the Once an Episode sequence where someone sounds the siren and Prys and Ceri, conveniently at the lighthouse, go through the same footage of their hats being magically summoned to them, them both saying their respective phrases, and then exiting the lighthouse to solve the mystery of the day. And it's almost always the same exact footage. In one episode, Ceri is pretending to be sick, but during the sequence she doesn't appear to have a runny nose, and her voice sounds perfectly fine. In another episode, Mrs. Tomos is in the lighthouse to warn Prys and Ceri of all the animals disappearing, but then when the siren is rung and they do their typical sequence, suddenly she's not there.

Later, while everyone is in Prys and Ceri's office being interrogated on who could be the beast of Bont, Ianto points out that Beti hurt everyone's ears with her singing, and that she might be the beast. Insulted, she insists that it's opera singing. Her actress, Siw Hughes stars in the Soap Opera series Pobol y Cwm.

Strictly Formula
 Llan-ar-goll-en / int_3f1aadeb
comment
Strictly Formula: And how. Every episode follows the same formula with slight alterations. A typical episode will often begin with either the antics of Prys and Ceri at their lighthouse, or the setup for the missing thing of the day. If it's the former, it'll quickly lead into the latter. Something is then lost and the owner(s) of the lost thing will then sound a siren by pressing a red button, while saying this: When the siren rings, Prys and Ceri are called to action at the lighthouse. Their detective hats magically fly on top of their heads, and they say their respective lines, and then they exit out of their lighthouse to investigate the mystery. A fast forward sequence will then show the duo running to the scene. When they get there, they ask what the mystery is about, if they saw anything strange, and write down as many notes as they can in the progress. Sometimes Ceri will say this if she and Prys are at the scene for too long: While gathering more clues, the conflict is later boiled down to three suspects, and once Prys thinks he's cracked the case, he'll sport an Idea Bulb and will then say this: ...Which leads to all three suspects being at the town hall to be (lightheartedly, of course) interrogated by Clueless Detective Prys. During this, sensible Ceri stands by and reacts disapprovingly to Prys, as her silly partner is usually never correct about who stole the thing. After Prys accuses all of the suspects of doing something (with each of them of course denying that they stole the thing), Ceri will then have a "Eureka!" Moment as she figures out who or what stole the thing, and recaps the episode's events that are full of foreshadowing, in the form of Flashback Cuts. When the mystery is solved, sometimes there is a follow-up scene at the end of the episode with Prys and Ceri back at the lighthouse, with a quick Signing Off Catchphrase from Ceri. In a few occasions, it might be an "Everybody Laughs" Ending, since it's still a Preschool Show and nobody ever has any ill will towards whoever may have stole the thing.

Women Are Wiser
 Llan-ar-goll-en / int_565106b3
comment
Women Are Wiser: Tara, Beti, and Debra have shown themselves to be quite the Deadpan Snarkers, as they are usually the voice of reason among their male peers. A lighter case is generally Ceri, who is smarter and wiser than her male partner, and nearly always manages to solve the mystery of the day - even showing signs of having knew what the answer could be early on.

comment
Inconsistent Sub: Sometimes the official subtitles, as provided by the BBC, will use another translation for the Once an Episode phrases listed below. Sometimes they rhyme (or at least closely rhyme), but other times they don't, which can get really distracting. An interesting thing to note is that the theme song (which itself does not rhyme) is always consistently translated.

Convenient Replacement Character: Ceri's cousin Caradog appears in the same episode that Ceri herself is missing. He takes her role as a dog-tective and helps Prys solve the mystery of where she's gone off to; right down to replacing her in the Once an Episode sequence where Prys and Ceri get ready to solve the mystery of the day (that mind you, usually never changes). In one scene Prys confuses Caradog for Ceri before correcting himself shortly afterwards. She shows up near the end of the episode to explain that she was gone for so long because she was waiting for Caradog to show up at the train station... when he was already long gone from there looking for her.

A typical episode will often begin with either the antics of Prys and Ceri at their lighthouse, or the setup for the missing thing of the day. If it's the former, it'll quickly lead into the latter. Something is then lost and the owner(s) of the lost thing will then sound a siren by pressing a red button, while saying this:

Throw the Dog a Bone: In almost every episode, Prys constantly manages to get the answer to the mystery of the day wrong, while his brighter sidekick Ceri properly guesses it. It happens so much that even the narrator makes fun of him for this. However, in "Dirgelwch y Llythyr Coll" Prys FINALLY solves the mystery of the day on his own (with a little help from Ceri, of course). Everyone present in the room is PROUD, rightfully so.

Continuity Nod: In "Dirgelwch Y Llyfr Coll", Prys refuses to question if he himself stole the mystery of the day, as he did in "Y Darlun Coll", a series one episode. He even looks directly at the audience as he lampshades it. In another episode, Dr. Jim accidently used invisible oil all over himself and turned himself invisible. In the series one finale, Prys recalls to when that last happened to accuse Dr. Jim of stealing his own hair.note He believes that the invisible oil might have made his hair vanish. He was wrong. In the Christmas Special, Prys thought that Ceri (who playfully scared him) was the beast of Bont, which was the focus of a previous episode. She reassures him that the beast doesn't exist, and he agrees that it was a silly story.

Recycled Animation
 Llan-ar-goll-en / int_b0b8970e
comment
Recycled Animation / Stock Footage: Gets the best of both worlds here. A lot of Ceri's animation is reused in various episodes, including but not limited to the animation where she scratches her ears like a dog. This is perhaps the most obvious in the Once an Episode sequence where someone sounds the siren and Prys and Ceri, conveniently at the lighthouse, go through the same footage of their hats being magically summoned to them, them both saying their respective phrases, and then exiting the lighthouse to solve the mystery of the day. And it's almost always the same exact footage. In one episode, Ceri is pretending to be sick, but during the sequence she doesn't appear to have a runny nose, and her voice sounds perfectly fine. In another episode, Mrs. Tomos is in the lighthouse to warn Prys and Ceri of all the animals disappearing, but then when the siren is rung and they do their typical sequence, suddenly she's not there. What usually follows after the above is a glance of the map that shows where the siren was sounded, and a fast forward scene of Prys and Ceri running to that place. These are a few variations, but most of them have been repeated many times.

In another episode, Dr. Jim accidently used invisible oil all over himself and turned himself invisible.

Clueless Detective

comment
...Which leads to all three suspects being at the town hall to be (lightheartedly, of course) interrogated by Clueless Detective Prys. During this, sensible Ceri stands by and reacts disapprovingly to Prys, as her silly partner is usually never correct about who stole the thing. After Prys accuses all of the suspects of doing something (with each of them of course denying that they stole the thing), Ceri will then have a "Eureka!" Moment as she figures out who or what stole the thing, and recaps the episode's events that are full of foreshadowing, in the form of Flashback Cuts.

comment
When the mystery is solved, sometimes there is a follow-up scene at the end of the episode with Prys and Ceri back at the lighthouse, with a quick Signing Off Catchphrase from Ceri. In a few occasions, it might be an "Everybody Laughs" Ending, since it's still a Preschool Show and nobody ever has any ill will towards whoever may have stole the thing.

Home Base: Prys and Ceri often hang out in their lighthouse that essentially doubles as their home. No one else is seen in the lighthouse most of the time, but they're capable of visiting. When Prys and Ceri are called to action, they do their Once an Episode sequence and leave the lighthouse. Sometimes at the end of an episode, they'll be seen there again.

Faint in Shock: Happens a lot. Tara does this in "Dirgelwch y Llythyr Coll" when it's revealed that Ceri stole her own letter. Prys does this when he actually sees the real Siôn Corn for the first time. When he gets up, he thinks he was hallucinating; he wasn't, and he faints again. In "O Na, Mrs Tomos!", Tara and Mia both faint once they smell Prys' smelly tuna egg sandwich, and it happens at the end of the episode when Prys himself sniffs the tuna that Sugar Lump ate.

Dreadful Musician: Both Prys and Beti cannot sing, and the episode "Canu La La" makes it clear. When Prys first sings to Ceri, she describes it as if he's jammed his finger in the drawer. And Beti herself claims that she's won Wales' Worst Voice three times in a row. Ianto also can't sing, as demonstrated in "Y Pysgodyn Aur". Hollywood Tone-Deaf: Prys and Beti's singing voices both sound extremely exaggerated – and sure enough, both Rhys ap Trefor and Siw Hughes (who play both characters, respectively) are talented actors, the latter of which plays Kath Jones in the long-running Soap Opera Pobol y Cwm, and won an award for being the best actress in it.

Catchphrase: A few of them, in a traditional sense. For more common phrases, please see Strictly Formula below. "Oops boops!", usually said whenever anyone makes a mistake. "Lovely-schmovely!" as often said by Ceri. Sometimes, she'll use an alternative to this phrasing; like "delicious schmelicious". "Interrrrrrrrrresting!", said by Ceri whenever she's found a lead.note She puts the emphasis on the R's because well, she's a dog. "Hold on, Defi/Devina John!"

Birthday Episode: Three in series 1: In "Parti Sypreis", a birthday present for Tara Tan Toc goes missing before her surprise party. In "Parti Barti", Ianto wants to give Barti Felyn his birthday present, but it disappears. Forgotten Birthday: This happens in "Dirgelwch y Llythyr Coll", where not even Prys' best friend Ceri remembers his birthday. Except she did, and she just wanted to keep it a surprise.

Rhymes on a Dime: Prys and Ceri do this in spades, especially with each Once an Episode phrase.

Comically Missing the Point: Happens a lot. In one episode, Ceri points out how Mrs. Tomos' joke doesn't make any sense. And this exchange from the last episode:

Special Edition Title

comment
Special Edition Title: In the half-hour Christmas Special, the Theme Tune is completely normal. It's actually the Ending Theme that was changed; the music is changed to be a festive tune that was carried over from the previous scene and closely resembles the Theme Tune, and snow appears in the background. At the very end, Siôn Corn yells out "Merry Christmas!"

Innocently Insensitive: An unusual example happened once with Ceri. In "Y Pysgodyn Aur", Ceri reacts in disbelief when she hears that Beti's goldfish was stolen, and says something much to her slight discomfort. Prys clears his throat and bobs his head towards Beti, and Ceri quickly gets the point.

Pet the Dog: Mischievous prankster Barti Felyn tries his hardest to be nice on Smiley Friday. Prys still has his suspicions that he stole Beti's oranges, but everyone else defends him and gives him the benefit of the doubt. As it turns out, he really didn't steal the oranges.
