Kiri&#x27;s TV Flashback : Season 3

Here in Wales we love to be at the cutting edge of innovation. Kiri Pritchard-McLean dives into the TV archives in search of clips celebrating our inventions. She discovers a ridiculous contraption for walking along rooftops, a soap opera made of sweet wrappers and a device for sounding the alarm when it rains on the washing line.

Celebrities

Comedian Kiri Pritchard-McLean rummages through 50 years of archive looking for clips of some of our favourite Welsh celebrities. Who knew that Ryan and Ronnie once enrolled rugby legend Gareth Edwards into a dance routine? Catherine Zeta Jones and Roy Noble make a great double act in a tap routine and then there’s the time Richard Burton paid a visit to his home town. Not forgetting our first-ever reality celebrity, Maureen, who is determined to pass her driving test.

Food and Drink

One of our favourite pastimes in Wales is eating and drinking and in this episode, Kiri Pritchard-McLean rummages through 50 years of TV archives to find some of the funniest clips about food and drink, whether it’s pressing apples to make cider, doing creative things with laverbread or gagging on oysters. She uncovers a gem of a clip featuring our beloved Ray Gravell who invites chef Keith Floyd to cook up a cawl for the rugby team. Things take an hilarious turn when Keith takes a tumble while carrying a large plate of food.

Global Wales

Comedian Kiri Pritchard-McLean takes a look at Wales on the global stage. From our showbiz and sports talent to our famous natural landscapes and unique way of life, the world is taking an interest in Wales. Kiri unearths a long-forgotten clip of king of comedy Max Boyce being put through his paces at a ranch in USA. From being thrown off a bucking horse to risking his life with an angry bull, Max’s global debut is one to watch.

Pets and Wildlife

There’s no doubt that the Welsh are a nation of animal lovers, but comedian Kiri Pritchard-McLean’s trawl through the BBC archives proves just how animal-mad we are. There are tales of two-legged, four-legged and no-legged friends here, including a heroic mountain rescue dog, a bionic cat, and prehistoric fish. Join Kiri and watch the fur and feathers fly!

Gardens and Open Spaces

We love the great outdoors in Wales, from running through the fields to planting a row of potatoes, being in the open air is one of our favourite things to do. Kiri Pritchard-McLean digs through the TV archives to find the best clips about our gardens and outdoor spaces from Wales.
