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 as presenter. The show is replaced by a clip-based review of cable television hosted by the more competent Jeff Global.
Jeff was, according to Sparkes, "smart, strong, attractive...basically, everything Barry isn't". New characters and segments were introduced including The Rectifiers, Eddie Giraffe and Jay Clough. Hugh Pugh and Mr. Ffff were brought over from the original Barry Welsh series.
The series' supporting cast consisted of former Barry Welsh is Coming cast members Kim Wall, Gordon Kennedy & Felicity Montagu, actress Harriet Halfhead and singer & television presenter Emma Walford.
