Airdate: Greatest Cities in the World with Griff Rhys Jones

Griff Rhys Jones is back on the box next week visiting six of the greatest cities on earth.

Griff Rhys Jones (Not the Nine O’Clock News, Alas Smith & Jones) is back on the box next week visiting six of the greatest cities on earth for a new six-part documentary series on ABC1.

Exploring a day-in-the-life of these famous cities Griff paints a landmark portrait of each metropolis revealing what gives each city its unique identity. From serving breakfast in New York, to late night dinner in Paris, and beer in London, Griff gets stuck into the daily life of some of the best known cities in the world. As well as New York, London and Paris he also visits Rome, Hong Kong and our very own Sydney during his travels.

In this opening episode Griff takes on New York – what does he find when he peels the Big Apple? By rolling up his sleeves and delving behind the scenes, Griff uncovers how the different cities work as living machines, and discovers some astonishing secrets. Armed with his trademark humour and relentless curiosity, Griff tracks down the individuals who epitomise the character of each city, and celebrates the infinite variety of life within them.

Greatest Cities in the World with Griff Rhys Jones premieres 8:30pm Tuesday June 15th.

  1. I don’t think ABC can offer anything in HD because I’ve noticed that channel is now just a straight SD feed of ABC1 Sydney with no ABC HD watermark & Stateline NSW broadcast on Friday nights & Saturday afternoons. Must be scaling back before ABC News24 starts?

  2. Sounds like a great series I’ll be setting the PVR for sure; I’m heading to London, Paris and Rome at the end of the year so would be good to see some of the more obscure things tourists don’t always see as the series will be looking at day to day life I think….

    Also been and feel in love with New York and have always wanted to visit Hong Kong
