British as Folk - Season 1

Darren Harriott, Fern Brady and Ivo Graham are on a mission to find out what it means to be British in the UK, beginning in Leicester.

Darren and Ivo get tipsy as they sample home-grown wine from the Valley's vineyards, while Fern attempts to impress Welsh indie rock band Adwaith with her own dulcet tones. They join forces again to sing with the harmonious Treorchy Male Choir, before their Welsh stay becomes slightly more surreal at the Palpung Changchub Dargyeling Tibetan Buddhist Centre.

Darren Harriott, Fern Brady and Ivo Graham stop off in Hull, meeting local hero Dean Windass, a grime star and a wind expert.

Darren, Fern and Ivo head to the most 'misjudged' city in the UK, Glasgow, before spending a night in The Highlands, on a mission to find out if the Scots really do hate the English.

Darren, Fern and Ivo travel to the UK's most popular holiday destination, Cornwall, to discover whether We Still Love To Be Beside the Seaside?

Keen to explore the real Cornwall, our trio ditch cream teas for trucker breakfasts, before Fern learns how the locals ride the waves from a septuagenarian surfing sensation, while the boys discover Cornwall isn't just welcoming tourists, it's also home to some of the world's most advanced robots.

Their adventure ends with a Cornish language lesson, where they learn to count and what 'bramm?an?gath' means.?

In this final episode, the throuple's road trip ends in Essex, arguably the most stereotyped region of them all. Keen to investigate if there's more than just big lips, big cars and big nights out here, the trio delve into real Essex life to try and prove the South has substance as well as style. Ivo gets straight in to trying some local fishy delicacies, before the trio head to Essex's 350 mile coastline for a seal-spotting boat-trip, in hope of seeing some orange sunbathers of a different kind. Darren and Fern discover the roots of the ‘Essex Girl' stereotype.
