This is without question the best video we've ever produced. We've spent more than 2 weeks working on this, with the whole team putting in some crazy hours, and it's cost us a fortune. This is the direction the channel is going to be going in, more travel, much higher production quality and less frequent videos. I hope you like it - we've already got Episode 2 booked in for a few weeks - the Best Thing From Barcelona!
I remember you doing something similar when you made podcasts! Can’t wait for this video!
Sounds good will be herr for the premiere
Awesome really enjoyed it great job 👏
I live up the road Kev sorry I missed you
Been searching the comments for Anna commenting, did she find out? 😅
I have lived 10 minutes from swansea my entire life and you have done more in 1 video than I have in 22 years. Loved this!
Yes lads, The Mumbles is Swansea, Swansea City council. What you were calling 'Swansea' is the 'City centre'!! There are many many areas of Swansea, and just one of them is mumbles.... glad you enjoyed our City and glad you visited...
...ps, you went to the old original marina, there's a few more marina's further along, one attached to another. Joe's ice-cream best in Britain...
Best wishes
Swansea man, living in Brunei for the last 13 years here: great to see my old home town but by god, its changed a bit since I last saw the place. FYI: Lavabread should be eaten very hot, sprinkled with pepper and joined with a nice bit of bacon and sausage! Those Cockles are not from the area I'm afraid: they're shipped in from Belgium, as the local coastline has been severely contaminated and the food is now not safe to eat.
Joe's Ice Cream is good, but not the best. There are many Ice Cream parlours across all of southg Wales, run by old Italian families (there was a large influx in the 19th century) and these old traditional parlours make the best Ice-Cream in the world, period!
May I recommend you return in High Summer? There will be a lot more to see and experience but make an effort to explore the beaches - there's a pathway from the Mumbles Pier, covers All of the Gower Peninsular, covering dozens of golden beaches such as Langland, Caswell, Oxwich, Port Eynon and many more. I am certain you will enjoy the place a lot more in the sunshine!
This is a great direction for the channel, Kev. We still get to enjoy the ramblings of you being you without impacting your family's privacy - the hard work and effort really shows. Can't wait for episode 2!
I live in Swansea and mumbles is apart of Swansea 😊, mumbles is a great place, especially in the summer
From Swansea myself so cool to see the city from your view.
i moved here from bedfordshire 4 years ago and i love living here
I found your channel after listening to the Best Thing From podcast and I’ve checked in on you every now and then since. I’ve been wishing it’d come back since the last episode so I love how you’ve completely reimagined everything
Bit of background on Plantasia - it's been there as long as I can remember. Everything around it has changed i.e. Aldi used to be a massive toys r us. Loved this vid though. Proud that my home city was worthy of a Kev visit, before you've ever managed them on NL2L I might add
As a frequent visitor to Swansea, really enjoyed the video but the laver break really should have been cooked first, preferably in bacon fat and if you had on walking in the marina, you would eventually have the promenade, with breath taking views of the coast. I agree Joe's ice cream second to none!
Everyone in Swansea has been to Denny's once. But no-one has been twice.
Joe's is awesome. Wind Street is legend. But you should also have gone to the beach on the Thumbnail. We got amazing beaches.
I am welsh blooded born in Stockton California same town as the Diaz brothers. Ufc.
Anyhow my small town had a mummy at a museum. I hope this helps. Lol cheers with a fake beer, sober almost 2 months
Great work from all involved. Keep them coming. Thumbs 👍
Really enjoyed this first episode Kev! Looking forward to more in the future!
I love all your videos but this was incredible can see the effort that's been put into it - never commented before but needed to for this hopefully help the algorithm
Outstanding video Kev and team.
Swansea girl here. 🏴 I’ve never eaten laverbread cold, was yours cold? You should try it hot with thick salty bacon.
A lot of fun. Looking forward to the next one.
Just watched it, and thought was great look forward to next 1
Great video. Looking forward to the next in the series. Plantasia looked Great and agree there should be more of them.
I really enjoyed this one. Can’t wait for the podcast
Enjoyed this one Kev ❤
Loved this keep it up 🙂
Brilliant content. Loved the foreshadowing of you saying Sheepdog was going to end up in a&e after drinking the milk! Looking forward to the next one.
What a great first episode, Kev!
I've been following your channel since 2017 and I can already tell this will be a fantastic series!
My favourite type of content on this channel through the years has been your travel vlogs, whether it's Centre Parks, Disneyland or Alton Towers, they've always been the stand-out videos for me, so I can just tell this will be a series I'll love!
Keep up the great work :)
This is great, way better than just a vlog- the fact is has the direction of finding the best thing gives it that edge as content
So so so good! The opening is amazing. Absolutely class content on so many levels. Really hope this is what sees this channel explode. I think the dynamic between you and Sheepdog ensures this kind of thing (and other stuff you've worked on exclusively with sheepdog in the past) is the best content you've got. Looking forward to the podcast.
My only feedback (and I don't have 112k subs on UA-cam so take my UA-cam advice with a bag of salt) is that some extra bells and whistles on the editing would bring it in line with more modern videos like this. Overlays with how much things cost, ratings of each 'thing' - with a final rating ranking at the end of the video - and information on key items (a bit like came up for the Dylan Thomas statute. But needed less text and more visual clarity) would really, in my humble opinion, add a dimension to the video beyond just a bunch of footage spliced together.
this video was so good cant wait for episode 2
It’s already out! The Barcelona video is episode 2 of this series!
Love it!!
Love that this is back. This is how I found out you guys existed
Looking forward to all the videos in this series cracking 1st episode.
Would definatly like to see a best thing from Peterborough one.
Well this is new Kev 😃 I like it, keep up the great work
the security dude is pete 😂 and yeahhhhhh joes.... best around
Ahhh this is wonderful!
Nice vid. I loved it
Love the series. Maybe one day I’ll make it over to your side of the planet. I’d use these as a guide!
Brilliant!!!
calling a Welsh cake a "Scone" hurt my lil welsh heart 😂
Joe's ice cream is really good, one of the best. But just a couple of miles away from Swansea is a village called Skewen and it has Cresci's ice cream which is the best ice cream in the world.
This was great :D
Good work kev
You two make such a great duo 😂
We went there in the summer and it's great seeing some of the places and things we did again. That retail park was so confusing!
Absolutely beautiful series idea.
Brilliant 1st episode I really hope this continues.
Maybe consider trying to find anything good from Medway 😂
That intro is amazing
Really great video Kev, cant wait for the Barcelona one, I loved that city, and when I was there I also went to Barcelona v Valencia (The 7-0 Gary Neville one!)
Awesome video! Can't wait to see the next one! Also well done on the edit Chris!
I love this thank u
Great clog. Really enjoyed it. Nice to see sheep dog off his phone
Should definitely consider splitting London into boroughs - there's a lot of hidden gems outside of the centre everyone knows
i agree!!!
Deffo, great shout!
Wonderful video, Kev! If I hadn't wanted to go to Swansea before, I would want to go there now. :D
Don't send Mumbles to VAR Kev they will award it to Cardiff.
Lovely 💯
Great new series, best video for a while, you should go to Winchester
Commenting for the lovely algorithm to shine bright on kev
Amazing video Kev, hopefully do Blackpool one day 🤞🏽
Best thing from Swansea is Joe’s ice cream. And there used to be a Joe’s ice cream parlour by plantasia, which did combine your two favourite things.
Great Vid
I live no far from town where you guys filmed this video surprised I didn’t see you guys
From Swansea. Can confirm Joe's is the best thing we have xD
Decent vid, think you showed my city off well. Walk down Swansea beach and eating at the top floor of the tallest building in Wales would have been good contenders
what an amazing video
Great video lads, made a good account of Swansea - as I saw you walking into that pub I was waiting for the grab on the shoulder, not the best place.
Quality shone through with this video, what audio equipment are you using? Watch a lot of vlogs and this sounded great, even in windy Swansea
I want you to visit Sheringham, North Norfolk, they have Cromer Crab, which is very tasty, Ronaldo's Ices (best Ice cream in the area, not to mention, the museum, not to mention some really good chip shops and a cafe called Streat Boss which we go to everytime we are there, all their food is really nice and not to mention, the steam train ride, and Craft bakery, it's a nice vibe, friendly people, lovely food and beaches and a a round great time
Superb video, I think you've come to the right conclusion, looking forward to more of this series
Visiting my city 🖤
Great vlog
That is the neatest thing a vending for milk😂
😂 what sort of milk though?
Good video. Granted it's the first episode but it would be neat to have this series find it's own style over time as it didn't feel massively removed from a normal vlog you'd do when you're visiting somewhere. More of the voiceover type stuff from the start would help break up the different segments, maybe giving a bit of background on the town/city or on the individual shop/bar/restaurant etc.
Really enjoyed this. Just one thing wrong, it's not wind street as in weather. It is wind as in wind up the clock 😂
Milton Keynes, Bletchley Park, Xscape, Willen Lake, Costco lol 😂
Solid. Now sell your format to Amazon.
Best video ever
Hmm thought you could of gone to visit Swansea Museum and Dylan Thomas's old home in the uplands as well.
I am from swansea I work at b and m by that zoo . I think have to have a look around it 😆 . For me I enjoy runnning along the bay the best from swansea from me is the joe ice cream 🍦 good video
Kev had a Denny's....confirmation of what caused the hospital visit....
Newcastle!!
Your best video ever
I grew up there. Left in 2008 no regrets.
Go to the Granite City, Aberdeen! See if you can find anything interesting haha
Do Knutsford next!
Do bristol next theres lots of historic stuff and its got a lot of good things to try plus Wallis and gormet are from bristol and you can find them all over the city
My best thing from Bristol would be za za bazaar.
You should try lavabread its a breakfast thing you don't eat it like you guys did
You should come to Cornwall
You’ve come to the right place, fella. I don’t live far from Swansea. But I mainly prefer Cardiff.
that milk vending machine is my life now.
NEWCASTLE !!!
🎉 Jo's ice-cream is the best
Nice to see people checking out my home and enjoying themselves. It was always gonna be Joe's 😂
Try coming to Glasgow
Good video - as a bit of feedback, I think you should have done a fight with the man in the pub that didn’t let you film. Maybe something you can keep in mind for the next one
Sheepdog has a Cherry problem
I like this
😂😂😂 mad how close all this is to me
The reason why you should go to Glasgow is because they have an underground station with 15 stations inner circle anticlockwise outer circle clock wise try to go during the week 6:30 am is when the Glasgow underground opens.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Kevin chapman Swansea Gand theatre 🎉party celebration
Go to the skirridd inn next.
Is South Wales Abergveny
Sheepdog might just be my favourite person
diolch am ymweld :) -thanks for visiting :)
If I knew that I were arriving u could have come and had a cup or tv and some fm23 lol as I only love 5 mins from market 😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
