Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One Wales HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Wales

Cardiff Bay is a playground for visitors from all over the UK and beyond. But scratch beneath the surface, and you'll find a cornucopia of colourful characters and personalities.

In the second programme of the series, the battle for the best boat trip in the Bay continues between rival captains Chris on Lady Helen and Ben on Daffodil, as they prepare for the busy Easter holidays. Ben has a belly laugh when he invites some glamorous dancers aboard his boat, but will it draw in the punters - or will it all be a big belly flop for Ben, and can he and Chris ever put their differences aside? Tiger Bay's most famous export, Shirley Bassey, has some competition from fellow homegrown tribute act, Leanna Harding, AKA Shirley Classy. Leanna is still struggling to shed those last few pounds in time for her big performance down the Bay, but best friend Sue has a solution - to put Bassey on a bike! But can she squeeze in to that dress in time for the show? Philosophical plumbers Wayne and Brian are feeling nostalgic as they compare the old Bay to the new and how modern glitzy developments are affecting the traditional communities in the area. Nasir Adam is a Welsh Somali man who was born and raised as a Butetown boy. He's chosen to stand for the council as a Plaid Cymru candidate. His opposition is also Welsh Somali so Nas is keen to get out and gain support. Nasir's extended family is behind him, but will he get his community on side in the race to election victory?
