Synopsis
Two teams of Welsh people answer questions about Wales and identify other Welsh people in an attempt to demonstrate that out of all Welsh people, they are the particular Welsh people who know most about Wales. Not in Welsh, though.
The map of counties, before they were all restructured into meaningless nonsenseQuestions revolved around general knowledge, Welsh towns and mystery voices; the board game tactics required the contestants to 'invade' parts of Wales, hence the title.
Notable for being hosted by a tyro Rob Brydon under his real surname.
