Watching on You Tube 'Source to Sea down the river Thames without leaving it'. Its an 8 part series as exactly what it says in the title. It's quite watchable. He starts in Gloucestershire at Thames Head which is virtually dry, walks the start of it through the river and further down picks up his kayak. Not for everyone but I'm kinda enjoying it. The guy is called Ed Pratt and is very likeable.
Feel exactly the same way. One absolutely brilliant episode and nearly everything else has been pure padding and very little going on
Disappointing
I've seen a couple of episodes, a fellow CCFC STH watches them and recommended them to me. I saw one where he dropped something in the canal and jumped in to try & fish it out, I'm not sure I would do that, the water always looks disgusting. My go to easy to watch TV is the Repair Shop, I love watching them fixing things especially as I am pretty useless at that type of thing.If you like this sort of programme, have you watched Canal Boat Diaries ?
Series six has just started on U&Yesterday.
It`s about a very likeable fella, who gave up his old life, to live and wander around the UK canals on his old canal boat.
It`s almost like an hour of meditation, as it`s just so relaxing watching him travelling from one place to another at 4mph and it`s beautifully filmed and interesting too, with all the wildlife on the canals and also all the historical places he goes to and passes by on his travels.

Now that's something I'd like to do. Did you start in Gloucestershire and what about lodging, always fancied just tenting it all the way. How long did it take also?I did the whole walk a few years ago.
Not into camping. I used a company that organsised lodgings and taxis baggage to your next hotel/guesthouse on route, you pay for the service but it takes the hassle out of organising it yourself. Started at source and took 12 days I think but there are packages to take longer. Lots of companies do this sort of thing.Now that's something I'd like to do.

He was moored next to me while I was fishing on the Oxford canal. He has a couple of guys helping with production/ drones etc. Nice people and had quite a chat. Told him about Shipton Manor once owned by Branson where he recorded Tubular Bells (he didn’t include it).If you like this sort of programme, have you watched Canal Boat Diaries ?

Made me smile when Robbie asked a passing female jogger if she’d like to see the inside of his boat!
I gave up. I like the idea but it was getting too far fetched for meWatched the first episode of Code of Silence last night good premise, Canterbury looks lovely.
Andor season 2 - absolutely brilliant. Last five episodes just another level!
I loved it (I feel the same way about Wes Anderson as I do about the Coen brothers and Tarantino. Auteurs).Just watched the Phoenician Scheme. Think I need a good day or two for to decide if it was any good or not
I live just 25 mins drive from Canterbury.Watched the first episode of Code of Silence last night good premise, Canterbury looks lovely.

Only watched one episode with the new Doctor and I hated it.Dr. Who.
Russell T Davies is really knocking it out of the park.
Last night's was superb.
There's a really nice story arc developing I reckon.Only watched one episode with the new Doctor and I hated it.
Found it all Disneyfied and a very poor choice for the role of the time lord.
I couldn't even watch the whole episode, I found it so awful.
Really disliked it. Anyway, my missus and her daughter watched about 3 episodes and then gave in, for the same reason.
You think I should give it another go? Have always been a big fan of Doctor Who, but didn't like Jodie Whittaker in the Doctor role (started off mighty fine and thought they had pulled it off). But then found it getting increasingly bland and preachy.
Always think when a lead actor starts having to resort to having to sing a song in an episode (the new Doctor), it's a slippery slope.
As someone who has been watching since 1980 I think this must be the best series there's been. Not a single duff episode and several that will go on to be all time classics. Off to the cinema for the finale next week.Dr. Who.

Personally don't find it Disneyfied at all, find it prime RTD.Only watched one episode with the new Doctor and I hated it.

Just booked three of us for Nuneaton.As someone who has been watching since 1980 I think this must be the best series there's been. Not a single duff episode and several that will go on to be all time classics. Off to the cinema for the finale next week.
I know some people hate it but I love the fact they drop them at 8am on Saturday morning. Works perfectly for me.
Quite amazing how the marketeers have changed things IMO.Just booked three of us for Nuneaton.
Fifty pounds quid, as it's not part of Limitless.
Never mind, really looking forward to it.
To be fair @wingy , I could watch it at home for free.Quite amazing how the marketeers have changed things IMO.
Hope it contributes to the licence fee for a reduction.
The fact that the one outstanding episode in series one had basically nothing to do with the rest of the series was probably a warning. Series two is similar, one excellent episode and everything else filler.Loved the first series, especially the standout episode with the gay couple, which is possibly one of the all time most moving and sensitive episodes of tv of all time, but I`ve heard very mixed reviews of the second series, which so far has put me off watching it.
Andor season 2 - absolutely brilliant. Last five episodes just another level!
Rogue One was excellent too.
Never heard of that one, will give it a go. You might like Kevin Smith's The 4:30 Movie, sounds a similar type of thing.Mid90s
My eldest has been nagging me to watch it with him for ages and I get why. Really well made by Jonah Hill.
