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!

@samreid2041 Год назад

I remember you doing something similar when you made podcasts! Can’t wait for this video!

@EmmaJones925 Год назад

Sounds good will be herr for the premiere

@Edsthemeparks Год назад

Awesome really enjoyed it great job 👏

@anemone9895 Год назад

I live up the road Kev sorry I missed you

@memphisdaniels3218 Год назад

Been searching the comments for Anna commenting, did she find out? 😅

@DesolateVeilX Год назад

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!

@bunchofgrapesorafig 7 месяцев назад

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

@_Changeling_ Год назад

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!

@swanvictor887 5 месяцев назад

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!

@seamusedney8600 9 месяцев назад

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!

@minarinwarrior Год назад

From Swansea myself so cool to see the city from your view.

@hollycastor-gv6ms Год назад

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

@janegeorge7153 Год назад

I live in Swansea and mumbles is apart of Swansea 😊, mumbles is a great place, especially in the summer

@karldavies8699 Год назад

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

@joso7228 10 месяцев назад

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.

@mountainman8775 Год назад

“You haven’t seen many leave happy tho” 🤣

@danhitchers9811 Год назад

Really enjoyed this first episode Kev! Looking forward to more in the future!

@Idiotmaturegamer Год назад

Great video. Looking forward to the next in the series. Plantasia looked Great and agree there should be more of them.

@aaronbell1910 Год назад

Outstanding video Kev and team.

@declanauston5157 Год назад

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

@ianlloyd7342 Год назад

Great work from all involved. Keep them coming. Thumbs 👍

@harryroberts2630 Год назад

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 RU-vid so take my RU-vid 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.

@davidwright173 Год назад

Loved this keep it up 🙂

@MikeisstillnotsmoothVlogs96 Год назад

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 :)

@gmuzz Год назад

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.

@bilboswaggings0 Год назад

Enjoyed this one Kev ❤

@freddiegrhm Год назад

I really enjoyed this one. Can’t wait for the podcast

@craighadley Год назад

A lot of fun. Looking forward to the next one.

@willsmith9725 Год назад

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

@nathanrowley8206 Год назад

Love it!!

@xWelshlad92x 6 месяцев назад

calling a Welsh cake a "Scone" hurt my lil welsh heart 😂

@telclark883 Год назад

Looking forward to all the videos in this series cracking 1st episode. Would definatly like to see a best thing from Peterborough one.

@thatsaltygamer0939 Год назад

this video was so good cant wait for episode 2

@kevinchapmanarchive Год назад

It’s already out! The Barcelona video is episode 2 of this series!

@leabarton7799 Год назад

Just watched it, and thought was great look forward to next 1

@Treatrunk Год назад

Nice vid. I loved it

@mattquiney8 Год назад

Love that this is back. This is how I found out you guys existed

@rlatham88 Год назад

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!)

@PianoManCoversJMB Год назад

Wonderful video, Kev! If I hadn't wanted to go to Swansea before, I would want to go there now. :D

@annafromthemanor Год назад

Ahhh this is wonderful!

@robreid8577 Год назад

Amazing step up in production value (not that I didn't love the old style vlogs). Opening 30 seconds gave me early Grand Tour vibes which I loved. Excited to see what Barcelona brings!

@JL-if5bm Год назад

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!

@mrpscorpio Год назад

Well this is new Kev 😃 I like it, keep up the great work

@Cookiealacarte4me Год назад

Love the series. Maybe one day I’ll make it over to your side of the planet. I’d use these as a guide!

@carolineharry6605 6 месяцев назад

Swansea girl here. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I’ve never eaten laverbread cold, was yours cold? You should try it hot with thick salty bacon.

@appetitehomemade5770 Год назад

Absolutely beautiful series idea. Brilliant 1st episode I really hope this continues. Maybe consider trying to find anything good from Medway 😂

@matthealey187 5 месяцев назад

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.

@aishyv1 Год назад

Should definitely consider splitting London into boroughs - there's a lot of hidden gems outside of the centre everyone knows

@zoef5688 Год назад

Don't send Mumbles to VAR Kev they will award it to Cardiff.

@balogdavid2006 Год назад

That intro is amazing

@amandanewton6469 Год назад

I love this thank u

@SamNewton93 Год назад

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

@callumnewman4871 Год назад

Great new series, best video for a while, you should go to Winchester

@ItsMeDani1 Год назад

Commenting for the lovely algorithm to shine bright on kev

@seanbebee3569 Год назад

Great clog. Really enjoyed it. Nice to see sheep dog off his phone

@JonnyTMS Год назад

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

@corbinprice180 Год назад

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

@AEnglishPerson Год назад

Great Vid

@alexandrosvogiatzis5740 Год назад

Lovely 💯

@PirateDrive Год назад

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.

@finnbogx Год назад

Amazing video Kev, hopefully do Blackpool one day 🤞🏽

@ImCaptainCabbage 7 месяцев назад

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.

@Caleb10891 9 месяцев назад

I live no far from town where you guys filmed this video surprised I didn’t see you guys

@jonathandavies9819 9 месяцев назад

From Swansea. Can confirm Joe's is the best thing we have xD

@samuelthomasmccann.1170 Год назад

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.

@mrcornwall3370 Год назад

You should come to Cornwall

@samuelthomasmccann.1170 Год назад

Try coming to Glasgow

@johnwhelpdale4464 Год назад

If that's a "nice lookin' bit of beach", then you should come to Australia for a trip lol

You should try lavabread its a breakfast thing you don't eat it like you guys did

@tomstott4389 Год назад

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
