James and Jupp - Season 1 Episode 3
0.00 30 minutes Comedians Elis James and Miles Jupp take a series of unconventional trips around Wales. Elis takes Miles to Swansea Bay, starting in the shadow of the Port Talbot steel works at the Tata Steel Sailing Club, where they get a crash course in dinghy handling from their instructor Chloe. As Port Talbot can claim to be the hometown of three great Hollywood actors - Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins and Michael Sheen - they take a trip to Pontrhydyfen, Burton's birthplace and they visit the old Plaza cinema, the childhood haunt of all three Port Talbot Hollywood greats.
Swansea is the focus of the next day, including a nostalgic trip to Swansea City's old Vetch ground for football-mad Elis, and for cricket-nut Miles a visit to St Helen's, the ground where Gary Sobers famously hit six sixes off one over back in 1968. Their trip ends in the seaside town of Mumbles, from where they can see their starting point Port Talbot, on the opposite side of the horseshoe-shaped Swansea Bay.
