Griff Rhys Jones launches new series
Griff Rhys Jones's three-part documentary series on the world's greatest cities starts this week.
Exploring a day in the life of New York, London and Paris, Rhys Jones aims to paint a landmark portrait of each city.
From serving breakfast in New York, to late-night dinner in Paris and beer in London, he attempts to get stuck into the daily life of the cities.
He works with garbage men in New York, gives a cut and blow dry to a poodle in Paris and tries his hand at bell ringing in London.
He said: "I love a lot of cities that are not included in this series, like Rome and Edinburgh, but I love the three we are covering most of all. New York for its style and warmth, Paris for its taste and chic, and London for its grubby soul."
He added: "Paris is for the mouth, New York for the eyes and London for the heart."
