They didn't say what the pikeman statue really commemorates, but they mentioned Cromwell.

love the awkward interviews - saved by the utter professionalism of Judith Chalmers. BUT when it rains - best to be in Spain!

Indeed. It wasn't "On the spot " though - The WYWH team would have done a "recce" maybe two or three weeks before filming. Anybody featured in the programme would have been asked if they were willing to be interviewed on camera for the show beforehand. If they agreed, a specific time and date would be arranged that was suitable for everyone. Also Judith probably did a rehearsal with anybody who appeared in the show before they filmed the interview.

So...if you weren't happy with your hotel, you could complain to the TI and they would endeavour to get you a refund ? - Fair enough if your complaint was genuine, but surely that's setting a precedent for people who enjoyed their stay, but invented a complaint anyway, so they basically could get a free holiday ?
Hang on one sec.. in the intro she claims that Irish folklore music and dance was inspired by a crew of a cornish Ship wreck 500 years ago.. seriously ? ..

Nope. St George's channel is a stretch of water that lies south of the Irish sea between Wexford and Wales. Continue further south and you have the Celtic sea.
Not a Wexford accent to be heard?
