On the centenary of photographer John Thomas's birth, Ifor embarks on his latest challenge – recreating the photographer's pictures of the residents of Pembrokshire, but can he get the shots he needs by speaking only Welsh?
His journey takes him from Narberth to Llanboidy and Newport, before ending up in the city of St. Davids on March 1st, the day of Wales' patron saint of course! However, although Ifor attempts to charm with his daffodils, only time will tell what reaction he'll get, and whether he'll be able to manage to communicate.
