A Great Welsh Adventure with Griff Rhys Jones
Summary
The funnyman explores his native country Wales
S1-E1 Snowdonia
Summary
The funnyman tours his native country, Wales, taking on challenges designed to test his Celtic credentials and bring out his adventurous spirit. Beginning his journey in Portmeirion, Clough Williams-Ellis's re-creation of an Italian village, he sets out to find a Snowdon lily, one of the world's rarest plants.
S1-E2 Gower Peninsula
Summary
The funnyman explores the glories of the Gower Peninsula, the UK's first designated area of outstanding natural beauty. Griff abseils down a cliff face in search of pigeon, harvests cockles and discovers what makes the region's salt marsh lamb so special as he accepts a challenge to prepare a feast for former Wales rugby union international Terry Davies. Producing a meal fit for a local hero may be the least of the native son's problems though - before Griff is allowed to cook he has to kick a drop goal in a single attempt.
S1-E3 Pembrokeshire
Summary
The funnyman's next stop is Pembrokeshire, and on his travels along the coast, Griff visits Melin Tregwynt textile mill, encounters dung beetles and receives a lift from a vet, bringing him to a leading dog breeder. However, as he discovers, it's no easy task taking show corgi Merlyn for a stroll.
S1-E4 Anglesey
Summary
The funnyman visits Anglesey, where his challenge is to spot a puffin. Beginning on Ynys Gored Goch, a tiny island in the Menai Strait, he moves on to the uninhabited Puffin Island, but there's not one of the birds in sight. After stumbling across an Epicurean salt factory and joining a local cycling team, Griff then arrives at the last working windmill in the area, and finally, on to an exposed crag near South Stack lighthouse.
S1-E5 Mid-Wales
Summary
The funnyman is in mid-Wales for his latest - and greatest - quest, to find the Holy Grail. He tries his hand at panning for gold, before arriving at Aberdyfi at the mouth of the River Dyfi, where he hears the tale of Cantre'r Gwaelod - the `Welsh Atlantis' said to lie in Cardigan Bay. Then, in Aberystwyth, he learns the legend of the Holy Grail of Nanteos, a country house a few miles away, and makes his way there.
S1-E6 Conwy
Summary
In a lighthouse on the northernmost tip of mainland Wales, Griff discovers his Conwy challenge - to track down a Welsh dresser. Catching the vintage local bus into nearby Llandudno, the funnyman realises the seaside resort is probably the last place on Earth where he might find antique Welsh furniture. After spending the afternoon pondering his predicament, he hitches a lift into farming country, but has little success. Back on the coast, he spots something familiar in a shop window, but is it the genuine article?
S1-E7 The Welsh Border
Summary
While inspecting the remains of the largely forgotten Aust Ferry, Griff discovers his latest task is to learn and perform the Welsh national anthem. After a terrifying challenge on the Severn Bridge and a less stressful saunter along the remains of Offa's Dyke, the funnyman heads into deepest Wales, where he's determined to pick up some of the native language. He also paddles up the River Wye to Tintern Abbey, a must-see destination for Grand Tourists 200 years ago.
S1-E8 Brecon Beacons
Summary
The comedian explores the Brecon Beacons as he accepts a challenge to go wild swimming in a mountain lake. Starting in the small town of Hay-on-Wye, Powys, best known for its annual literary festival, he learns about the area's many second-hand book shops and meets the man who opened the first one, 50 years ago. From there, Griff takes to the sky in a glider, visits the underground source of a bottled mineral water and takes a dip in the icy-cold lake Llyn Cwm Llwch just beneath Pen y Fan, the highest peak in south Wales. Last in the series.
