The Learners

Learning Welsh can be fun – find out how in this warm and witty new comedy from comedian, Kiri Pritchard-McLean

Jonesy (Tudur Owen) has the unenviable task of teaching Welsh to a group of adult learners from north Wales in this new warm and witty new comedy from comedian Kiri Pritchard-Mclean.

Cathy (Janice Connolly, aka Mrs Barbara Nice start of Britain’s Got Talent) and Frank (Mick Ferry, Searching for Eric) are very keen – in fact this is their third year in the beginners’ class. Yara (Lisa Zahra) has recently arrived from Syria and is determined to learn the language of her new home; Jess (Kath Hughes, Gein’s Family Giftshop) needs to polish up her skills for work and Liverpudlian Ken (Les Dennis) seems convinced this is the right place to find his (next) new wife.

In this pilot episode a little role-play to practice vocabulary seemed like a good idea at the time. Learning Welsh has never been such fun.
