-Last time, John Pierce Jones

-and Dilwyn Morgan...

-..braved

-the stormy Atlantic Ocean...

-..to reach Valentia Island

-in County Kerry.

-This time, they're heading for

-the town and peninsula of Dingle.

-After an interesting sojourn

-on Valentia Island...

-..the weather and tide beckoned the

-jolly sailors back to the open sea.

-Today I'm the crew,

-though I'm the skipper.

-The boatswain is about to take

-her out, which is what happens...

-..when the skipper wants a break,

-so John will tell me what to do.

-I'm at your beck and call.

-Over to you, John.

-We'd better push off.

-We'd better push off.

-

-Is that wise, Dilwyn?

-Ready in the front!

-Shipshape, boatswain.

-In Llangaffo fashion!

-Goodbye, Valentia.

-It was another lovely place.

-It was another lovely place.

-

-But too many people for my liking.

-The welcome

-is always warm from the Irish.

-They're wonderfully welcoming.

-And the views

-are spectacular once again.

-There's the slate quarry.

-Valentia was an interesting place.

-Well done, Valentia. Thank you.

-Well done, Valentia. Thank you.

-

-Thank you. We'll be back one day!

-It's a brief four-hour journey

-across the bay to Dingle.

-Go and check my waypoint.

-I don't understand the iPad.

-Yes, you do. You're only saying

-that because you're being recorded.

-I don't know where it is.

-I don't know where it is.

-

-It's in my bag.

-You don't need it, you're steering.

-You don't need it, you're steering.

-

-You'd be lost without it.

-You were grateful for it

-the other day. Don't tell lies.

-You wouldn't have found your way

-without it. Be honest.

-I put my faith in the iPad.

-I put my faith in the iPad.

-

-Yes, and we made it.

-Just about.

-Just about.

-

-That's not true.

-He's playing up to the camera.

-Had it not been for the iPad,

-we'd have been lost in oblivion.

-Thank goodness

-we had it with us the other day.

-The iPad is like a third person

-in the relationship somehow.

-It complicates things.

-I feel that the iPad is

-taking over from me and it pains me.

-No matter how much you boast about

-being a good sailor...

-..you'd have been lost

-without the iPad.

-Why did you keep on asking me,

-"Where are we now?"

-I've slid to Number Three now

-on the boat.

-The iPad's Number One now.

-I'm looking at Dingle. We're heading

-into there this evening.

-I'm just trying to remember the

-shape of the channel, in a way...

-..before we reach it,

-just so that it's in my head.

-It's important

-to do your homework beforehand...

-..so that you have a mental picture.

-The chart is a godsend.

-He was taught in the Navy

-in the age of bears and wolves...

-..in terms of Dover tides,

-but we're in Ireland...

-..and he's doing sums

-to work out the Dover tides.

-I check my phone

-and I know within seconds.

-If you want to check the depth,

-there's a plumb line there.

-9.5 fathom, Captain Bligh.

-He doesn't know

-what things like that mean.

-The phone and iPad

-have caused more than one argument.

-It's nice

-having a rest for five minutes.

-Should we hoist the sails?

-Now?

-Now?

-

-Yes. It's going well.

-You can raise them now.

-Poor Dilwyn.

-There's no rest to be had.

-John Bligh Jones

-is a cruel captain.

-I hope they go up easier

-than the first attempt.

-We should've put them up sooner

-but the weather was too bad.

-Crumbs, I'm so unfit!

-It's a big boat

-for two sailors to handle.

-Ready about?

-Ready about?

-

-Ready about.

-Yoy-eeh-ho!

-Yoy-eeh-ho!

-

-Keep going around.

-That's it, that's your course now.

-Well done, John. Five knots.

-We're sailing now.

-The sails have been hoisted.

-It's sailing nicely.

-And we're both in agreement!

-For now.

-We've been sailing for a while.

-We've put the boat,

-as we used to say years ago...

-..on autopilot.

-We're sailing leisurely to Dingle.

-This is what sailing's all about.

-This is why I bought a boat.

-Number One

-is preparing a feast for lunch.

-Crisps, a little cheese.

-Have you boiled eggs too?

-Two boiled eggs, bacon, sausage...

-..and three cups.

-One for you, one for me,

-and one for...

-Geoff, the cameraman.

-Fair play to Dilwyn

-for going to all that trouble.

-I prepared him

-a little snack at sea.

-A few cold meats...

-..and soda bread,

-as is customary in Ireland.

-Now he's taking a little nap.

-Poor Dilwyn

-has to wash the dishes too.

-This is lovely, isn't it?

-We're in full sail.

-We're travelling

-at five or six knots at times.

-It's sailing fantastically.

-It's a very smooth ride.

-I had something

-I wanted to tell you about Dingle.

-A car from the production company

-is meeting us in Dingle.

-They're bringing Iwan along.

-I'll have

-a nice break with Iwan in Dingle.

-You've been talking about him.

-Yes, it'll be nice to see him.

-He'll have a car pass for Dingle.

-This is Ireland's west coast.

-It's renowned for its seafood.

-I want to sample a lot of it.

-WHIRRING

-WHIRRING

-

-Quiet!

-I want to catch as much as I can.

-We'll sail

-closer to the lighthouse...

-..lower the sails and use

-engine power to glide along slowly.

-So that I can fish?

-So that I can fish?

-

-Yes. Is that alright?

-No matter what anyone says about

-you, you're a hell of a good lad.

-They lower the sails

-so that John can fish.

-We're almost there.

-It's coming down.

-Tell me, Dilwyn,

-what do I do with this?

-I foresee a hook in the finger. The

-only thing he'll catch is his thumb!

-Argh, bitch!

-The bitch went in my finger.

-You were spot on, Dilwyn.

-Join us again in episode five

-to see if we've caught anything!

-Look, it's just dangling there.

-Does every fisherman

-have this trouble?

-What kind of knot do I tie?

-What kind of knot do I tie?

-

-A good one.

-The bloody thing's gone in my leg!

-They've caught in the side now.

-Ow! Owwwww!

-Fishing with John Pierce Jones.

-Today, he's going to catch

-the same as he caught last week.

-Nothing.

-Watch carefully.

-How's it going, John?

-I don't know,

-practically all my line's out.

-I've been here for

-almost half an hour and no bite.

-Ahem!

-# Fried mackerel #

-One, two...

-..three, four...

-..five, six.

-What shall we do with them?

-Let's go. I've had enough.

-Let's go. I've had enough.

-

-He's lost patience now.

-Oh, dear!

-They arrive at Dingle Harbour.

-It's like Piccadilly Circus. They're

-coming in and turning around.

-This one's passing me.

-I'm sticking to the channel. It's

-up to them to stay out of my way.

-Another harbour, another experience.

-Dingle.

-One very important person

-is there to greet them.

-Hi, Iwan!

-Great to see him.

-One, two, three, go!

-Iwan's a better sailor

-than his father.

-Are you alright, Iwan? Hiya, boy.

-How are you? Hiya. Nice to see you.

-.

-*

-John Pierce Jones

-and Dilwyn Morgan...

-..have arrived safely

-at Dingle Harbour in County Kerry.

-There to greet them

-was John's son, Iwan.

-The first thing

-I do on arrival is tidy up...

-..put the charts away and make sure

-everything's been switched off.

-I more or less ensure the boat

-is ready to leave at any time.

-As the old Navy saying goes,

-"A clean ship is a happy ship."

-John's gone

-to play Gaelic football with Iwan...

-..so I've had the privilege

-of tidying up.

-John's friend, Niamh Ni Bhaoill,

-lives on the peninsula...

-..in a small village

-called Ballyferriter.

-Niamh's son, like

-everybody else's son in Ireland...

-..plays Gaelic football.

-Iwan's a bit of a ruby player too.

-He accepts the invitation

-to train with the local lads.

-It's going alright, isn't it?

-Yes. Does he play a lot of rugby?

-Yes, and football, to a high level.

-His school team

-has won everything in Wales...

-..and they've recently

-been established as a rugby academy.

-They're

-Welsh football champions too.

-A lot of the boys here...

-..play rugby and soccer...

-..but in this region, Gaelic

-football is the prominent sport.

-It's like a religion in this county.

-Yes.

-Hi, Iwan. Ready to take part?

-Hi, Iwan. Ready to take part?

-

-Er, yeah.

-I'll get you to mark Colm. Colm!

-There's my son.

-He's a big boy. How are you

-going to hit him? Show me.

-Good boy.

-He seems

-to have adapted to the game.

-He's playing it and I was pleasantly

-surprised with the training.

-He's trying his best, which is

-what he does in every sport.

-He likes a bit of argy-bargy.

-We'll see how it goes.

-Right, lads, come on!

-They're speaking Irish.

-Is that their everyday language?

-Yes, for most of the boys here,

-it's their first language.

-Irish is the mother tongue.

-Like in Wales, I'm sure,

-they sometimes turn to English.

-I want all my children

-to speak Irish, and they do.

-They're speaking Irish

-very naturally.

-He's actually doing brilliant.

-He's holding his own.

-He's like a Kerry footballer,

-playing wing back.

-Doing everything

-I would expect him to do.

-Well done, Iwan. Did you enjoy it?

-Yes.

-Did you enjoy? Are you tired?

-Did you enjoy? Are you tired?

-

-Yes.

-You played really well.

-You were amazing.

-You're strong. You're perspiring.

-Go and get changed

-and we'll have something to eat.

-Fair play to him. He enjoyed it.

-Unfortunately,

-Iwan's visit to Dingle was brief.

-While John

-was saying goodbye to his son...

-..Dilwyn had the chance

-to go shopping.

-There's a strange atmosphere.

-It's an odd mixture...

-..of traditional Irish customs...

-..and kiss-me-quick hats.

-It's as if

-I'm in some surreal world.

-Irish is very important here.

-70% of the local population

-speak Irish as their first language.

-The town

-is a similar size to Bala...

-..and is home to 1,900 residents.

-One of those is Niamh,

-who's popped over to the Mystique.

-Hi, Niamh! Come inside.

-Sit down.

-Thank you. Ooh, very nice!

-Welcome to my humble abode!

-I've come to a little shop...

-..that resembles an ironmongers

-to buy John a funnel...

-..and insulating tape.

-Those were

-the two things on his list.

-While I'm here,

-buying these items...

-..it'd be a shame not to go...

-..to the other corner.

-When you were growing up...

-..what language

-did you speak at home?

-We all spoke Irish at home.

-Mam was fluent in Irish.

-How about your roots?

-How do you feel inside?

-I feel Irish but I'm half Welsh.

-I've never lived in Wales,

-only Ireland...

-..but I also feel

-as if I'm from the Conwy Valley too.

-It's difficult

-because I've lived here all my life.

-But I'm definitely half Welsh.

-Cheers, John.

-This is the best form of shopping.

-Thank you for everything.

-Thanks for looking after Iwan.

-Thanks for the bara brith!

-I hope to see you again.

-Ta-ta.

-Dilwyn Bryn Williams of Bala...

-..had it in his head

-that he'd cook John a meal...

-..but the seagull from Anglesey

-had his own plans.

-I've booked a lesson

-in the famous Dingle Cookery School.

-I've brought the fish

-that Number One caught earlier...

-..to see what I can make with these.

-It might lift my spirits.

-I've just said goodbye to Iwan.

-He's on his way back to Wales

-and I think Number One's sleeping.

-I'm going inside

-to meet Mark and Muireann...

-..to see what they can make

-with the mackerel.

-Hello! I'm John.

-SHE SPEAKS IRISH

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-

-I'm Mark. Pleased to meet you.

-I brought this.

-We caught this on the boat.

-We heard you were a good fisherman.

-Yes, I'm pretty good

-with the old rod.

-Liar!

-Some beautiful mackerel.

-Nice. Look how fresh they are.

-Can we do something with them?

-Can we do something with them?

-

-Yes, definitely.

-We'll cook these.

-We'll fillet them and serve them

-with a gooseberry sauce.

-How's your cooking skills?

-Alright.

-We'll guide you through it.

-We'll sit down and help you eat it.

-Meanwhile, the Mystique's chef

-was working up a sweat.

-I've no idea where John's gone.

-He's somewhere in Dingle.

-I'm going to prepare

-our evening meal.

-I was going to cook mackerel but I

-can't for the life of me find them.

-I've been to the butcher's shop.

-I bought

-local new potatoes and carrots...

-..and lamb from the Blasket Islands.

-That's it,

-just down to the back bone.

-Turn your knife

-and take it right out.

-These potatoes

-are quite hard to peel.

-I have to scrape them clean because

-John doesn't like dirt in his teeth!

-I've finished filleting

-the mackerel...

-..and now we're making

-the accompanying gooseberry sauce.

-I've never had it before.

-There's plenty there for two.

-The sauce is very straightforward.

-We've a couple of diced onions

-and a little oil.

-I'll cook it

-over a nice low temperature.

-I need butter. I'm going

-to lightly fry these in butter.

-I'll pop the gooseberries in,

-what we're making is a compote...

-..so it's a nice simple sauce.

-This is a special meal.

-It's my first cooked meal

-on board the new boat.

-It's a special night.

-It feels strangely like

-a first date!

-What we're going to do, we're

-going to pan fry the fish itself.

-A couple of key things to remember.

-First thing is, let the pan heat up.

-It's important to heat the pan

-before adding the butter.

-Every fool knows that.

-Put them on nice and gentle

-and you hear that noise.

-Nice and gentle.

-That's the perfect sound. Listen.

-Brilliant.

-Is it nice, John?

-Gooseberry?

-Anyone home?

-Oh, hello.

-Are you alright?

-Very good. Are you having dinner?

-It's a little surprise for you.

-I cooked you a meal as a treat.

-I've just eaten.

-I've been at the cookery school.

-Really?

-Really?

-

-Yes. I cooked a meal for myself.

-What did you make?

-What did you make?

-

-Fish and stuff.

-Oh.

-Oh, alright. I'll eat it then.

-I got you some local lamb.

-Sorry?

-Sorry?

-

-I got you lamb from the Blaskets.

-Blasket lamb

-is meant to be delicious.

-I can't wait to go there.

-I've been checking things out while

-you've been at the cookery school...

-..and it's not looking too good.

-..and it's not looking too good.

-

-No?

-We're nowhere near tomorrow.

-Stormy weather's forecast.

-Is there a spare chop going?

-I bought two each,

-but I'll put them in the fridge.

-We can have them for lunch tomorrow.

-We can have them for lunch tomorrow.

-

-It's a pity to let them go cold.

-Are these potatoes for me?

-Are these potatoes for me?

-

-Yes, or I can fry them tomorrow.

-No, it's fine.

-Pass me the butter, will you?

-I'll eat some of it.

-It's not that much.

-I'm full.

-But it's a shame

-to see food go to waste.

-Mm, this Blaskets' lamb

-is very nice.

-No talking

-with your mouth full, please, John.

-You don't think I'm greedy, do you?

-You don't think I'm greedy, do you?

-

-Greedy? Good grief!

-There's no end to your eating!

-I knew you

-wouldn't be able to resist it.

-It's delicious.

-I've a confession to make.

-I've eaten your fish.

-I've looked for them everywhere.

-That's why I bought this meat.

-You took the mackerel?

-You took the mackerel?

-

-I cooked them at the cookery school.

-Don't worry, we'll catch more.

-Tomorrow's another day.

-Looking forward to it.

-But tomorrow

-goes from bad to worse...

-..as they aim for the Blaskets.

-It feels great being here.

-This doesn't sound healthy.

-Aaarrrgh!

-Cold water!
