Nice clip. How much did you get for the appearance fee?!!?

[Theo]

They didn't get our permission to screen it. Should I sue?

A bow and a scrape will do, as long as the bow and scrape are accompanied by valuable gifts.

[Starcoaster]

Will it suffice to scrape your bow?

[patty-ann]

I blinked...did I miss something?

[Theo]

Will it suffice to scrape your bow?

As long as the scrape is accompanied by valuabe gifts! How many more times!?

I blinked...did I miss something?

How can you make a blink last four seconds?

Did the fishermen swear at you for going to fast or going to close.

The chap on the left smiled in a friendly way. He thought he could charm his way out of a fee for including my very expensive prop in his performance.

An observant soul pointed out that our boat name was on a Saturday morning food programme last month. There was an item from Nottingham with a one second flash of boats by Trent bridge then a comment on looking for wine to go with the food then another whole second on our name, 'Chateau Neuf'. We didn't know we had been filmed and they didn't even leave us a bottle of wine.

Do you have an Axiom prop then?

I got filmed for the trailer for Hollyoaks once, going through Chester basin. I was going to go back and ask for a fee but I got stuck on the mud and by the time i got back they'd gone...

[john6767]

Wow, can I have your autograph...

[Peter X]

Are we to understand from the clip that the rather upset chap in the leather jacket in the office is having nightmares about your boat?

It's a bit mumbled, but he appears to say "Uh, what's happened to me?"

[Scholar Gypsy]

Very nice.

 

In return here is a brief shot of my boat (not me - I was edited out when they switched to Her Majesty) at the Jubilee pageant. Skip the first 60 seconds if you like ...

[5thHorseman]

You very seldom see anything as large as a narrowboat photobombing

[furnessvale]

No. Would it help?

 

N

No, but it's very expensive.

We were on Jimmy's Farm. They were in Hull doing a piece on Yorkshire Pudding. Not sure why they chose Hull!

 

We had always thought of Jimmy as a nice guy, it's how he comes across on camera but actually once the cameras were off he was a bit of a knob.

 

But still, we were on there for the whole of must have been 30 seconds
