Just catching this on +1.
Will anyone ever rent them a boat again, with the clattering they give even a cabin cruiser on those wide canals
Pru's struggling with the Brains and Snails, both look more interesting than the Chops to be honest.
They're almost as amusing for not 'flapping' as Tim Spall and Shane as he clings to him 'OOh Timmy, Timmy'
They really are an endearing couple, and Pru talking to her grandson about her past French love, reminds me so much of my deal old mum (94) talking to us about her past loves during the war. None of whom were my dear old dad to whom she was married fofr 69 years.
This is such a gentle, entertaining, programme. I hope they do more.
Enjoying this series as much as the one Tim Spall did with his wife.
Pru Scales is an amazingly youthful looking 82 years old.
What i find even more uncanny (for me) is she has the identical demeanour and sense of humour as one of my cousins.....even down to her accent. It's almost as though i'm listening to the same person. Weird.
Watched one last night as they when across France, think they smack the boat about 6 times in to brick walls and bridges. Good on them, enjoy life while you can.
It's such a charming series. I wish I'd seen the first series now and annoyingly it's not available on 4OD.
Love Tim's grins to camera when he does something wrong and all the family's love for Pru is so evident.
Timothy & Shane Spall + Prunella & Timothy West.
They should make an episode of the four of them all being together
The West's can navigate the Canals and The Spall's can navigate the open sea.

Fascinating one last night - I remember going to London Zoo in the seventies, from Little Venice on the Canal.
Amazed by the Three Bridges.:o
As a canal enthusiast I find this series to be warm and friendly. Unlike John Sergeant, they are real boaters.
*shameless bump*
Such an endearing couple.
Such a beautiful place.
It looked very pink. :eek:
Hannibal Lecter! Remember that film where he removes and cooks some brains from a doped victim?

Tim's 'bugger's make me grin. So very British.

Found it eerie how Joe's sons looked like Sam but Joe didn't
Sam? The other son? The one who's the spitting image of Tim, even down to his walk?
