Great Canal Journeys

[ExMemberBobdog]

OK, so earlier this year Timothy West and Prunella Scales were on the Broads filming for the next series of Great Canal Journeys.  At the time I thought I heard that the programmes would be screened in October, but I can’t see any sign of them in the Channel 4 schedules.  Has anybody got any better information?

The report that Series 8 would be shown in October was reported in the Gt Yarmouth Mercury, Bob.

You can google Great Canal Journeys Series 8 and nothing yet comes up. Sorry that I can't be any more help.

Hi John,

I get the same results, no information regarding series 8 yet, but I am looking forward to it when it is aired.

We have both loved the previous series of Great Canal journeys let's hope this one is as good. 

[ExMemberBobdog]

OK, that’s fine.  Just wanted to check I hadn’t missed something.  If you lot don’t know anything either I guess it means there’s nothing to know yet.  Thanks!

Oh such touching faith.  :)

In the words of FawltyTowers' Manuel, "I know nothing".

I am led to understand that it is scheduled before Christmas but beyond that....!!

[JennyMorgan]

Suspect that they are still filtering out all references to the faux BNP, it's taken longer than they thought!!

[C.Ricko]

I can find out but I think there is another programme on BBC2 Christmas day 

 

[marshman]

I understand it may have been scheduled for 29th October - although I could be very wrong!!!!!!

[LizG]

A reliable source didn't know when I asked on Monday, maybe the same source as C.Ricko was asking?

[marshman]

Try asking your "reliable" source again as I understand the schedules have now been done!!!! ( subject to change as always! )

[Matt]

It is Sunday the 29th :-)

On Channel 4 at 19.30.  Now I need to find an 11 year old child who can set up the recording for me.  Damn technology.

And NO reference to 'National Park' !  We'll have to see what the programme brings.

[Springsong]

I haven't heard yet either.

My boat was on that programme too - nearly spat my tea out!

[Chelsea14Ian]

Was that the one with the small ships and Thurne mill?

Yes that was the one.

When I started watching this programme I quite enjoyed it, but what peeved me off was Tim's constant referal to Pru's, shall we call it, forgetfulness. I assume they are getting in on the reality tv thing. 

[VetChugger]

For heavens sake! They are both in their 80's and he worries about his wife! He feels the need to occasionally explain Pru's odd comments or memory lapses. I think its admirable of the pair of them to do what they do and share with us.

I wonder how many of us will be up to that sort of activity when we are their age! Yes, I know there is "behind the scenes" support. Does it lessen the thing for me?? Not at all.

 

[ranworthbreeze]

I am really looking forward to the program, not only Tim & Pru but some screening of the Broads.
