Test failed. Something horribly wrong with your video!±!

Reported!  At least Rickroll us if you have to post annoying videos

 

 

Although the one that really gets my goat is the Peppa Pig canal trip.

 

Grrr.

That's the first time I had seen an episode of  Rosie & Jim, thanks for posting it.  I didn't have a TV when they were originally being broadcast.  A shame that stretching the original 4:3 format to widescreen has turned "Ragdoll" into a fattie! 

 

I would think that H&S would have a fit these days about the lockie opening one of the lower mitre gates and then  striding across the gap onto the still-closed other gate to open it. Not that I would ever do anything like that myself....

For a number of years I moored alongside the support boat for the series. The owner ran the support side of things. Some of the stories he told were quite entertaining. Surprisingly the above clip is the first time I've ever seen an episode.

Hydraulic paddles on the Delph flight?

How long were they on for?

I can't see anything but two closed episodes

I remember passing Ragdoll as a child back in the 1990s while on a narrowboat holiday. I wonder where Ragdoll is now?

Maybe in telly tubbie land?

Used to see "Rosie and Jims" on lots of boats. Don't often see them now.

When Rosie and Jim started on telly as full time liveaboards it used to drive us batty. Wherever we were moored up kids with parents used to call us Rosie and Jim. I am pleased to say we never owned either doll!

No idea where or when this photo was taken but after "Rosie & Jim" days.

Never mind Rosie and Jim and Peppa Pig, Alan Partridge was written by someone who truly understood boating, which is why he talks about toilets...

I seem to recall Ragdoll was for sale on the Medway when that photo was taken.

They'd be even more upset by his lack of lifejacket! I wonder if modern volockiess respond to "Abracadabra, Superglue, open the gates and let us through!"

 

I prefer the Peppa Pig solution of pushing one lock gate and the one on the far side other automatically opening or closing with it. Need the CRT to install some of them

They'd be even better if they opened in the correct direction!

Hi! I'm trying to find the ragdoll! I've found some old photos of my grandad doing paint on it when it was pretty much new and I would just love to see it again, just for some nostalgic reasons!

Can't think "John who drives the boat" would have put up with whatever todge up is going on in the gas locker!
