Wales has one of the highest rates of workers on nights anywhere in the UK and we will meet factory workers, bat surveyors and hotel staff working over the witching hour. These are the unsung heroes of the graveyard shift, at work in the dark so that the day runs like clockwork.

At a bread factory near Blackwood, the night shift team have a job on their hands; they鈥檒l need to bake 70,000 loaves of bread by dawn plus there鈥檚 an extra order of multigrain on tonight, bound for France. Starting in the weighing room, Maxine has to weigh out all the ingredients to the nearest gram otherwise enough bread to feed the Red Army won鈥檛 taste quite right. Maxine was hoping to retire in a year鈥檚 time, when she was 60, but the pension age got moved and she鈥檒l now be at the factory for another 6 years until she can retire and draw her pension. This makes her feel 鈥榞utted鈥� as she had so many plans and dreams. Steve the factory supervisor wants the whole team to be cheerful as 鈥榓 happy workforce is a productive workforce鈥� and he is keen to raise everybody鈥檚 spirits by singing to them. But there are gremlins in the conveyor belts tonight 鈥� stretching a mile and a half around the factory 鈥� and they break down twice, threatening back-logged bread. Everybody has to muck in to make sure that thousands of loaves are shipped out of the door bound for the nation鈥檚 breakfast tables.

In Crickhowell, Dan and Leigh are picking up poo. They鈥檙e environmentalists and bat surveyors, on the look-out for their favourite furry mammals. Different species of bats poo in different ways, so the poo provides clues. If you have bats in your belfry, you鈥檙e bound by the law to protect them and the surveyors are at work at 15th century Tretower Court and Castle to provide information and advice to the building鈥檚 owners about their nocturnal residents. Failure to protect bats can lead to prosecution, hefty fines or even prison, so Dan and Leigh鈥檚 advice will be invaluable if the bats are to be protected. When the night falls, the bats come out to fly and feed, but counting bats in the dark is an acquired skill and the infra red cameras and sonic sound equipment come into good use.

At a swanky hotel in Cardiff, David and Bethan are on the nightshift and on the frontline looking after 250 party guests and 130 overnight residents. The Exchange Hotel in the city鈥檚 bay area has had a 拢42 million pound refit so the customers expect top service with a smile. This often extends above and beyond the call of duty, and David and Bethan get involved in finding a customer鈥檚 missing mobile phone while they鈥檙e trying to make sure all the party goers exit the building quickly and quietly. When everybody鈥檚 safely tucked up in bed, David and Bethan turn up the music which keeps them motivated while they鈥檙e cleaning and preparing the hotel for the breakfast shift.

And once every night shift is over, there鈥檚 always the next one to look forward to - but sleep is calling... good night!
