Murflynn Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Mon and Brec - lovely canal. Unfortunately the programme was out of sequence so the Newport link renovation was introduced half-way through the voyage, and was also inaccurate because the section south of Goytre Wharf was said to be closed, whereas it isn't. In theory, if the weed is manageable, you can progress as far as Pontypool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aguila Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 That was the last programme in series 8. I wonder if there will be any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a matter of whether the greater public want to see them and that depends on the advertisers perception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumshie Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 I love Pru & Tim. I watch them on the C4 catch up thingy and as it is the only thing I do watch on it I keep forgetting to check for new episode, so now I have 6 new episodes to binge on. I do hope it's not the last series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrose Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 I like watching them too, but what's this got to do with boat building and maintenance? Perhaps in the latest episode which I missed, Pru was shown servicing a diesel engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my friends boat did require a little maintenance after Tim steered a little to close to them last summer in Braunston. Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went straight up the bank and aground when he eventualy pulled over to wave us past, he goes so slow ya have to keep going out of gear bless him when behind him. Still got a smile from them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Dog Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 What I don't get is how, when Tim sets off snapping the still-secured stern line that he's standing right next to, it's somehow Pru's fault when she's on the bank 40 feet ahead of him. Is he extremely short sighted? Whilst there sometimes has to be an element of trust when you've asked to cast off forward and received an "all gone forward" or similar reply from the crew, I'd expect any reasonable helmsman to let go aft himself or at least spare a glance to check the stern line right alongside him was clear before moving off - even if the other crew member wasnt suffering memory issues.

You see it every day, Sir stands at the tiller holding firmly in case the rudder falls off while the crew struggles with closing the gate behind him then struggling to draw the bottom paddles.Sir carefully looking straight ahead.
