Vocal Voices

Pru Scales and Timothy West on our canals. It was fascinating, from an historical perspective, seeing the Kennet and Avon canal as it was and as it now is.

However, what I liked most about it was the relationship between Pru and Tim. Pru has pre-Alzheimer's and the two of them were full of love and understanding. There wasn't a moment of regret. It was so fefreshing to watch.

I read an interview with them the other day, about this, and quite fancied seeing it. What channel was it on Frank, I'll try and find it on catch up or iplayer etc

Oh I'll have to watch this. I have always liked the two of them. I also love canals and this will bring back memories of me and a girlfriend back in the 80's when we decided to hire a 42 ft narrow boat for a week...oh my!

Bet that was fun

Loz I am sure I've seen a programme with Timothy and Pru before, on the canals - Avon and Kennet maybe Will have to google now as it is bugging me

Yes it seems a previous trip was filmed in 1990, when theirs was the first boat on the newly reopened canal

ho i saw a clip and forgot to watch it d*m
i saw a series with them going round the uk coast once
love narrow boats and canals
used to love lining in lincold and watching them on the brayford and all the swans

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I found it on More4 - it's normally on C4 on Mondays at 9pm.

There were clips from their original trip on the K & A in 1990 - the fist boat down the canal after its restoration as a reward for their work in getting the restoration approved and carried out.

Oh thanks, great, will have to watch that

This was on again over the weekend. so far I've seen them on a trip down the Rochdale canal, one in Wales and the Nivernais canal in France - and how beautiful that was.
