Dorothy Squires remembered

Ruth Madoc discusses role in Dorothy Squires play

Dorothy Squires' life is now the focus of a new play at the Sherman theatre in Cardiff.

She is played by none other than Ruth Madoc, who visited ITV to discuss the production.

"My role is when we meet Dorothy when she's gone to Trebanog, which is where she ended her days" she says.

"It's her reminiscing about her life - and it was a heck of life!" she says.

"The other side of the stage, you have a lovely young lady emulating her when she was younger, and singing all her songs".

"I remember her very well. She was an icon".

April Jones murder trial

Mark Bridger defence expert: prosecution bone claims "unsafe"

Prof Black told the court prosecution's experts had drawn an "unsafe conclusion" by stating the bones were fragments of human skull.

She said: "It's a very unsafe conclusion because I genuinely do not believe there is the evidence to support it."

She also added there was "no certainty" about which part of the body the bones originated or their age.

Cross examined by prosecutor Elwen Evans QC , Prof Black explained why she couldn't say the origin of the bones.

"They are too small, they are too damaged, there are no identifiable anatomical features," she said.

Mark Bridger denies murder, abduction and perverting the course of justice. The trial will continue tomorrow.
