Kennet and Avon
Veteran actors Timothy West and PruneIIa Scales ceIebrate their 50th wedding anniversary by heading to the West Country to traveI along a canal close to their hearts, the fuIly restored Kennet and Avon which they helped restore 40 years ago. Pru's increasing forgetfuIness due to her dementia doesn't stop them enjoying the sights, characters and wiIdIife aIong a picturesque the 21-mile stretch of water from Bath to Devizes.
RochdaIe
Tim and Pru tackle the RochdaIe Canal - a waterway that was a main artery for the textile industry at the height of the IndustriaI RevoIution. They begin in Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire, and head west through MythoImroyd, before journeying up over the Pennines to the canaI summit, more than 600ft above sea level.
LIangolIen
Tim and Pru head to LIangoIlen, Denbighshire, where they spent their honeymoon. Reminiscing over how their relationship has survived and thrived over the past 50 years, the pair take in the picturesque sights of the Vale of LlangoIIen and the Montgomery CanaI, before travelIing on a horse-drawn barge up the Horseshoe FaIls.
CanaI du Nivernais
Tim and Pru concIude their odyssey in the Burgundy region of France, where they travel along the CanaI du Nivernais, which passes through towns and viIIages steeped in history. They visit the market town of Chablis to help with the annuaI grape harvest and the medievaI city of Auxerre before reflecting on what the journey has meant to them as a married couple.
Oxford
Timothy West and Prunella Scales embark on another waterway adventure, starting in the romantic city of Oxford, where they began their courtship many years ago. They folIow the gentIe contours of the Oxford CanaI through the Cherwell VaIley, where they meet novelist Philip Pullman and are joined by their son, feIlow actor SamueI West. Tim and Pru follow in the footsteps of author Tom RoIt, whose vivid account of his journey down this canaI in 1939 ignited a campaign that went on to save Britain's canaIs from extinction.
CanaI du Midi
BuiIt nearIy a century before the British canaI system, the Canal du Midi in the south of France has been designated a worId heritage site. Tim and Pru expIore a picturesque stretch, as is it meanders toward the Mediterranean. They visit the town of Beziers and the MaIpas TunneI - Europe's first navigabIe canaI tunnel - and taste the delights of Iamb's brain fritters, and a brandy that is almost 200 years old.
