Jeff Global's Global Probe
Jeff Global's Global Probe is a short-lived regional comedy sketch show first seen on ITV Wales in 2004.
Shown exclusively in Wales, the show was intended as a follow-up to the popular "Barry Welsh is Coming", which had concluded in 2004 with the sacking of the geeky Barry Welsh (John Sparkes) as presenter (and subsequent rehiring as a lavatory attendant). The show is replaced by a clip-based review of cable television hosted by the more competent
Jeff Global's Global Probe", which ended after six episodes.
The TV series also featured cast members from the Channel 4 series "Absolutely", while some character elements from "Absolutely" were incorporated into the programme. Denzil and Gwynedd, two of the original "Absolutely" characters, briefly returned in "Barry Welsh is Coming" for shorter sketches, now accompanied by their 21-year-old son, Codfyl.
The show returned in 2007 in the form of three themed specials broadcast throughout the year, presented
