The Learners

Series 1

Episode 1

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio Wales FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Wales Extra

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 star 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) has her eyes on a Sennedd seat and needs to polish up her skills for work. But where is Ken?

In episode one it's a new term for The Learners but one of the six is missing. Learning Welsh has never been such fun.
