Great Canal Journeys
Great Canal Journeys
After many years on the canals, Tim and Pru have decided to pass the tiller on to two brand new boaters - actor Sheila Hancock, 87, and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth, 71. After learning the ropes with Tim, Sheila and Gyles set out alone along the upper reaches of the Thames. It's the same river that roars past their homes in London, but 80 km upstream it's an Arcadian paradise.
