Welcome back Giles Wemmbley Hogg 2m's, 2g's - Marcus Brigstocke's classic character. Budleigh Salterton's most famous citizen has been grounded by both the Home Office and his father, so he's set up GWH Travvel ('2m's, 2g's, 2v's - bit of a mix up at the printers').Run from his bedroom in Budleigh Salterton, with the help of his long-suffering former Primary Schoolteacher Mr Timmis and the hindrance of his sister Charlotte, it's a one-stop Travel/Advice/Events Management/Website service, where each week, his schemes range far and wide - whether it's roaming the country lecturing would-be overlanders on how to pack a rucksack ('If in doubt, put it in. And double it'), or finding someone a zebra for a corporate promotion ('I'll look in the Phone Book - how hard can it be? Now, 'A to D'.....), GWH Travvel stays true to its motto - 'We do it all, so you won't want to'.In short - Giles Wemmbley Hogg - each week he travels to far-off foreign lands, and joins the exotic world of work, and each week, he makes a thumping great prat of himself ...In this, the second episode - a special show first broadcast at Xmas, Giles takes a trip to Iceland and buys some frozen food for his trip to Lapland. He also learns that when hunting with shotguns, it's good to know the difference between an elk and an elf. Co-starring Catherine Tate as his long-suffering fiancée Arabella and Celia Imrie as his mother-in-law-to-be, the woman known only as 'Mrs Wells', in a snowbound special that mixes The Wizard Of Oz, It's A Wonderful Life and The Ice Queen in Giles's head, and serves them up with a helping of brandy butter and South Devon-style idiocy.'Not since I first heard Alan (Partridge) have I felt so sure that I was in the presence of an immortal' - The Sunday Telegraph'Consistently funny and elegantly produced' - Mail On Sunday'Hilarious spoof' - Time Out
