Timothy Spall: Back at sea

[bulb763]

Love this series so far. Caught it on iplayer after the second episode so missed the first unfortunately. Fun and relaxing to watch, interesting and Spall is enjoyable too. Basically follows him and is missus travelling round Britain on the Princess Matilda - a converted barge. Another hidden gem from BBC4.

Watched the first episode the other day - nice timefiller.

Did you watch the first series last year, Somewhere at Sea?

Wednesdays 8:30pm

Wasn't aware there was a first series, although I guess it should be obvious from the title!

They've almost finished the round trip and nearly back at Ramsgate.

The blog is a bit difficult to follow and leaps backwards and forwards but all entertaining stuff.

Occasionally some of the maritime navigational numptyism from Tim makes me cringe a bit, but at least he is trying very hard to do it right. Unlike the usual Essex Navy shower of morons.

Good luck to Shane and Tim, well done the pair of you.

Anyone catch the last episode?

Beautiful scenery.

Shame the series is so short - it should be at least be 6 episodes.

[SpeedBash]

A quick heads up.

The first series, Somewhere at Sea, is being shown again on BBC4 on Wednesday 5 October @ 20:30.

Nice programme, but had the unwelcome side-effect of popularising Dutch barges on rivers that are really too small for them... the Chelsea Tractors of the river world.

I blame Shane the cabin-boy. The captain can't do everything!

Really great series. Thoroughly enjoyable and interesting. A shame it's only got one episode left.
