Griff’s Canadian Adventure Episode 5 (Channel 4 Sat 10 September 2022)
Griff Rhys Jones, a British comedian and avid traveller, sets out on a journey across Canada, the second-largest nation on Earth. Griff explores how Canada’s history has shaped the country today as he travels from east to west through mountains, prairies, ice, and forests. He also learns what makes each province so tantalisingly different yet distinctly Canadian.
Each episode follows Griff as he takes on a challenge to fully experience every province, from the rough Atlantic coast of Newfoundland to Vancouver in the Pacific Northwest, with a little assistance from locals and experts he meets along the way.
In this episode, Griff travels through Saskatchewan and Alberta’s expansive plains and prairies. Far from being empty, he finds that they conceal a variety of treasures, including prehistoric buffalo herds, dinosaur fossils, and vast expanses of cultivated farmland.
