How do you get to Aberystwyth?

Mitch Benn is on tour and is stranded in Central Wales, going round in circles.

Trapped with him in a car that's far too small is the whimsical music buff Robin Ince. They decide to gig in the first town they find, LLanfyl but manage to antagonise the locals.

It's an anarchic mix of music, Welsh pride and a miserable local radio DJ.

Musical highlights are down in the countryside, which shows the rural idyll isn't quite paradise and the road to Aberystwyth - a chronicle of his failed journey to that mid-Wales coastal university town.

More music and comedy starring Mitch Benn and Robin Ince.
