heard him on Wordaholics (BBC Radio 4).

Disgwyliwch gasgiad cryf o storïau, riffs ac acenion.
Wel, un acen mewn gwirionedd. Efallai eich bod
wedi gweld Lloyd ar Ask Rhod Gilbert (BBC1) neu

John-Luke Roberts presents a lighthearted look
at 7pm, Friday 4th May 2012. He’ll make a lot
of amusing observations about 7pm, Friday 4th
May 2012 - observations that we’ve all been
thinking, but finally he’ll say. He’ll compare 7pm,
Friday 4th May 2012 to other cultural tropes and
memes - like bendy-buses, for example. For people
who love 7pm, Friday 4th 2012, but want to
have a little laugh at it too. Not really - an hour
of silly comedy, and an hilarious defence of it.
Mae John-Luke Roberts yn cyflwyno golwg
ysgafn ar 7pm, dydd Gwener 4 Mai 2012. Bydd
yn gwneud llawer o sylwadau doniol am 7pm,
dydd Gwener 4 Mai 2012 - sylwadau yr ydym i
gyd wedi bod yn eu meddwl, ond yn y diwedd
bydd ef yn eu dweud. Bydd yn cymharu 7pm,
dydd Gwener 4ydd Mai 2012 gyda syniadau
diwylliannol eraill - fel bysiau plygu, er
enghraifft. I bobl sy’n caru 7pm, dydd Gwener
Mai 4ydd 2012, ond eisiau cael hwyl ychydig am
ben hynny hefyd. Ddim mewn gwirionedd - awr
o gomedi wirion, ac amddiffyniad doniol ohono.
