They're keen to speak Welsh but also hopeless. New comedy from Kiri Pritchard-McLean.

They're ready to learn but are we ready for them? All The Learners want to do is get by in Welsh. A new comedy series from Ynys Mon's own 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 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. Ken (Les Dennis) is in trouble – and not just because he hasn’t memorised his mutations.


In episode four Jonesy puts his students learning under the spotlight when they take part in a talent competition.  Is Abbas too young for a ‘gottle o’geer’?
