British comedian and travel enthusiast Griff Rhys Jones begins his journey across Canada, the second biggest country on the planet, starting on the Atlantic coast of its Easternmost province
Seasons & Episode
Starting on the Atlantic Coast of its Easternmost province, Griff Rhys Jones uncovers what makes Newfoundland and Labrador distinctly unique. From tiny islands, sea shanties and cod tongues, to jellybean houses and noonday canons, all the while uncovering its size, in everything from land, to dogs and the hospitality of its people.
From Montreal to Quebec City, Griff explores how “French” Canada really is and how diversity has helped shape la belle province and the country’s multiculturalism. From bagels to poutine, beavers to ice-hockey and everything in between.
Launching his journey at Niagara Falls, situated right on the U.S border, Griff’s on a quest to discover how Canadians differ from their southern neighbours and if they are indeed, nicer. From massive film sets in Toronto to remote beaver dams deep in the forest, niceness pervades.
Griff explores the frozen wilds of Canada’s North from windy Winnipeg to Churchill, Manitoba where he’ll find more polar bears than people. He tries his hand at dog sledding and does his best not to freeze, all while discovering what draws people to the cold and why the North is so important to Canadians.
Exploring the vast prairies of Saskatchewan and Alberta, Griff discovers they are far from empty. Instead, concealing a diversity of riches, from ancient buffalo herds to dinosaur fossils and acres of bountiful farmland.
Griff Rhys Jones completes his Canadian journey in the popular, wellness-loving province of British Columbia. From snow capped mountains to ocean waves, rappelling to rainforest yoga, Griff examines what it is about living on the West Coast that makes people happier in mind, body and spirit.
