The British Isles

Timothy West and Prunella Scales return to the Oxford Canal, the waterway where they first fell in love with boating more than 40 years ago. Aboard their own boat, they travel north from Banbury, heading for the old canal port of Braunston, joined by their daughter Juliet and sons Sam and Joe. As they navigate their way through the beautiful Cherwell Valley, the couple look back at some their favourite voyages on the inland waterways of Britain and Ireland. As well as remembering great moments of joy and wonder, the voyage is tinged with sadness given the recent deterioration in Pru's dementia

Great Canal Journeys airs on U&Yesterday +1 at 1:00 PM, Thursday 7 November. (Subtitles.)
