I agree, watched them all, a great little very relaxing series. i could have watched more.
pity tim and pru never got to boat the Caledonian or the Falkirk or the canals around the midlands/staffs.....or the Bingley 5 rise etc. lots more meat on the bone for more trips i think.

Its a shame to see Prunella sometimes staring away and you wonder where her thoughts are with the Alzeimers slowly taking Tims wife away from him. you can see a smashing relationship between them and it was good that the show makers made the disease part of the show rather than saying nothing and trying to hide it as that would have sparked all kinds of tweeting and conjecture....

One of the best shows I have watched for a long time, what a thoroughly nice couple. TV like it should be.

Am seriously considering a spot of boating in France having watched the last episode.

It was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyable. Felt for Prunella.

New series on more 4, its been on a for few weeks now.

Liking Gyles and Sheila.

I always found Tim West a bit pompous and patronising, Pru made up for it.
