This is why England is called the cultural capital of world. I love these things, its very English and keeping English culture intact with the modern era. Hats off to the uploader for uploading these documentaries. It has been a perfect companion for COVID 19 lockdown.
Thank you Rajeev! My reason for uploading these videos was simply to share the sheer joy of the canals Tim and Pru sail on, and the detail of their work. It's simply wonderful. These are strange times indeed, just mentioning the word Covid-19 makes me stop and just think "is this REALLY happening!?!" Today is my first day of Furlough, I'm an hgv driver from Manchester and my company have placed me on 80% of my salary as from this coming Monday (30th March) . The good news for you is that if you search UA-cam you may just find all 10 Series they have made. Series 9, Episode 3 is the one I waited forever to actually see. The Bridgewater Canal. Worsley is where I live, I drive by the canal twice a day, or I did!, going to work and coming back. It is the epicentre of the Industrial Revolution. The 1st purpose built canal in the UK for Industrial purpose. Good luck finding the other Series!!! Enjoy!!
@@WTF-cw5cv you embarrass me. I am an atheist but I feel blessed to have known two such women, and even though my wife passed prematurely in 2011 I was fortunate to meet my present partner to share the rest of my life with. Even as an atheist I feel it is abhorrent to call religion a cancer - it is someone's profound belief and should be respected as our local vicar respects my beliefs. So lighten up and show respect.
So elegantly and sensitively revealed that even though inflicted with a hampering disability, this wonderful couple has taken us on this fairytale journey. I saw it all through their eyes and felt it with their hearts. Who needs aught else. This is life itself!! I am too in the autumn of the years but in the wrong part of this wonderful planet. Bless you and continue journeying.
We do not always appreciate the true beauty & splendor of our little island .Until you see it from this perspective.. I took a deep breath & found I have slowed down about 5mph after watching this. Ahhhhhhhmmmmmmm!!!😁
The most wonderful and touching video I have ever watched regarding the canals and combined with a love story a half century in the making, just magical. Praying for continued happiness to you both, 3 years belated as I write this.
“No darling, very good aim. Very good aim indeed.” This is the cutest couple! Especially after 50 years of marriage. They have done something right! I know they’re actors but I think they are being themselves in this series.
What a beautiful film, brings back so many wonderful memories, I love would really love to go back to the boat I so enjoyed with my wonderful mate and the best crew in in the world.
I have a signed photo of Mr West -I've always thought him and Miss Scales wonderful actors .....but what wonderful people they are ! Love and bless them both .Will say .....Mr West will always be, to me, King Edward - and Miss Scales.......😉
This whole series is incredible! What a love story between two fascinating people and their long love affair with the canals. We have watched all of them and hope and pray all is well with Penelope and Tim. Thank you for this beautiful series!
This is a fantastic series, hosted by two very charming people. As an American, I've yet to visit the UK but when I do, I fully plan to travel at least a bit of the canal system there. I lived aboard a sport fishing boat in Key West, Florida for a time and would love to see how the canals compare. This series gives me wonderful insight that may not have been available to me by other means. Thank you for uploading this. Beautifully done.
We have had some wonderful years watching these two great performers show us the correct way to deal with what life throws at us. I love the canals of the U.K. and the beautiful places you can see from them. No rushing from place to place, totally unwind from the hectic pace of life. Watching these two even in their advanced years shows that your never too old to have adventures.
Such a Wonderful relationship - together for so many years and still very much in love. What an amazingly eventful life they both have had. Blessings to Pru and Tim x
Wonderful programme made all the better by my favourite couple , prunella and Timothy. So obviously still in love after many years. An inspiration to us all.
First time here... I'm going to watch the entire series... This is a heart felt journey through a beautiful countryside, with a couple that truly love each other and their canals... In today's world this is very rare... We are only dancing in life for a short time enjoy every minute of it... Thank you for sharing...
If you're not moved by the sight of a woman with her mind slowly being eaten away singlehandedly negotiating 16 locks, there's something wrong with you.
Thank you Mr. Cole for the programming. Hubs and I are glued to the TV with this series. Not only is it entertaining we have fallen under Tim and Pru's spell as they are so delightful. When you have lost someone to that horrible disease you can see the tell tale signs of the fading away in poor Pru's eyes. You have made it possible for us to watch this series as we can not play region 2 discs here in the states. So thanks again as it is very much appreciated.
This is just the best series! Have watched all of them and will again. A bit of history and a love story that improves with age! Be sure to watch the ones where they cruise all over, France, Egypt! They are pure magic! I still keep tabs on both of them! They were like family and speaking of family you get to meet their’s!
I love this program! I have watched series 1, 2 and 3 and disappointed that I cannot find series 4 posted. Timothy West and Prunella Scales are wonderful. Beautifully photographed, great history and an endearing couple sharing the stories of their lives. Thank you Tim and Pru!!
I hope you have found series 4 since you commented, It not .....ua-cam.com/video/SGg7tC7onJY/v-deo.html here's episode 1. Other youtube users post these vids so they can be found (hopefully). We're up to series 9 in the UK.
We are cruising the Great Loop right now. It has been fantastic but now we are talking about European canal cruising afterward, thanks to Pru and Tim. What an inspiring series and lovely couple !
Lovely to see these two enjoying their lives together. They are so obviously in love with one another, even after fifty years and with Pru's encroaching dementia. To see their mutual affection is incredibly moving. Thank you so much for uploading these programs!
You're very welcome! It is such a beautiful series that I just had to share it and put it "out there". There are so many more series to watch too, a little search here on UA-cam will reveal many many more. There is a recent episode on the Bridgewater Canal which begins in Worsley, Manchester. Worsley is literally 3-5 minutes drive in a car from where I live, and literally a picture postcard splendour. Very historic too, some say the epicentre of the Industrial Revolution as the mines, owned by the Duke of Ellesmere, provided the cotton mills in Manchester with coal to power them. Manchester, back in it's day, was called Cottonopolis as 3/4 of the World's textiles were manufactured there. Really interesting stuff. I travel through the Village of Worsley to work and back every day.
Beautiful scenery, lovely people. It is an enjoyable canal journey with you on a narrow boat as soon as I will never do it myself. It feels as if I did it too.
Watching this 7 years later and from Canada 🇨🇦. I am a fan of these two lovely people and just recently discovered canal boat adventures. Thanks for bringing us along on this magical journey 👍👍
Thank you to someone that I have enjoyed watching, Prunella. It was wonderful to listen and watch Timothy on this adventure. Thank you for taking me along. All the wonderment that life has to offer be yours. This is something I want to do now. I will be 71 years young on the 5 of February. Thank you for the ride.
We first saw a show in this series when we were in Ireland last November. We're delighted to be able to find this on UA-cam and will be watching it this winter
I think I am also a "Nice Australian" despite my profile picture, Right now I am working through all of your UA-cam videos and classic British films with my favourite actors and actresses, Just finished Gielgud's Carterville ghost, Tim's recitations from the immortal bard are especially pleasing to ones ear.
I find this travelogue absolutely fascinating - that is the good feeling. I also find this maddening because I wish I could be doing the same journey - and that is the bad feeling. But the worst feeling is knowing that ever going on such a journey is absolutely impossible for someone living in the US. Prunella I loved you in Faulty Towers but I adore you for sharing this memoir.
Inga Eubanks There is no reason why this is impossible for anyone! Find a friend and book a holiday here, you can hire a bot easily. If you don't fancy tackling it yourself, there are multiple hotel boats that take small numbers of passengers who are free to participate as much or as little as they wish.
So generous of this beautiful couple, who are among the acting elite & major stars, to allow us to share this wonderful part of thier intimate life! Also we are now starting our canal holiday piggy bank! TY Chris!
Having watched episode one I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the series. You really do portray the tranquility of travelling the cut, great video, thank you Pru. and Tim.
Where I live, there are 2 abandoned canals: The Welland Ship Canal. Watching this video brought me great joy. That people took the time to restore and use Canals from the past....
great stuff.kind of sucks getting old when you see the pictures of when they took there 2 boys on narrow boat holidays all those years ago.great that there still doing it.time flies by so get out and enjoy life and make memories.god bless them.this is a great show.
Great watching you both. My wife and I going on 52 years married. So sad that we are in the 3 to 4% of couples that make it that far. Its been great watching you and all the work you have done. God Bless you both!!
I'm mesmerized with your adventures and so happy in my soul, simply because you conquered your dreams of life. As a senior, a bit shaking, you gave me hope. See you all in Amsterdam.
From America...As one who has reached your ages, I am continually amazed how we have managed to contribute to times that would be lost. As one who came out of the times of conflict., we have built what those that have and will follow us will enjoy and thrive. You both are the epidemy of what many of us have dreamed of in our advancing ages. Having already lost two wives, I still can dream about what you are achieving, and it's as if I am there with you. Had America continued it's use of canals, I believe I also would have chosen to migrate to that slower life Britain has chosen to give to it's citizens. Congratulations, good health, and please keep the UA-cam open for the entire planet to follow. You have given me dreams. Thank you!
Chris, what a beautiful series. I started watching on a cold Sunday afternoon in Calgary and how nice it was to visit with the lovely English canals and countryside. Thank you!

The most wonderful video with a wonderful couple. so beautiful.
THIS WHAT THE WORLD SHOULD BE..YOUR EXAMPLE IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL...THANKYOU FROM AUSTRALIA ❤
This is what my world is like.
Now those are absolutely decent and marvelous people.
I pray that God blesses me with such a woman to grow old with. This is so beautiful and all the money in the world can't buy such a blessing. 💕
AMEN !
hahaha.……..Delusional theist. Keep speaking to your imaginary man in the sky it will not get you anywhere. Religion is cancer grow up.

Prunella still has the most beautiful blue eyes. Her lovely smile too, such a happy couple still after all these years.
drummingriffin I wonder if Sibyl Fawlty can still kill a man at ten paces with one blow of her tongue?
Are they still living?
@@MusicMan3 yes, both still here happily. Prunella is 87 and Timothy is 85.
The most wonderful and touching video I have ever watched regarding the canals and combined with a love story a half century in the making, just magical. Praying for continued happiness to you both, 3 years belated as I write this.
Stumbled upon this one by accident and I love it.. kindda romantic about their them, their story and the stunning scenery of the British countryside.
“No darling, very good aim. Very good aim indeed.”
This is the cutest couple! Especially after 50 years of marriage. They have done something right! I know they’re actors but I think they are being themselves in this series.
This would be my fourth time watching the complete series. I always find something interesting that I’ve missed. Well done Tim & Prunella.
just watched this for the first time. omg how beautiful.
What a beautiful film, brings back so many wonderful memories, I love would really love to go back to the boat I so enjoyed with my wonderful mate and the best crew in in the world.
This really is television at it's very best. And it won't get boring even for the 100th time watching it.

Huggs and kisses from the Netherlands, we adore this couple and the canals they are traveling on!
As one of those grubby canal folks covered in coal and lime dust, I salute you for such a lovely video.
8 minutes in and I already love this vlog and this couple. Cheers!
I loved watching! Makes me love your country even more.
Thank you so much for the effort to give this to us

Amazing that she can get around opening the locks like that at 82!
Such a Wonderful relationship - together for so many years and still very much in love. What an amazingly eventful life they both have had. Blessings to Pru and Tim x
Never thought a canal video give me such a new perspective of life! If I’m half as happy as they are at their age, I have fulfilled my life purpose.
Timothy and Prue what a wonderfull story , I was touched greatly by this storey , go on forever,
what an amazing couple ...not only great actors but fantastic canal boat people who have done so much to help save them..well done....
She is timeless. Life at 4mph is just a dream to me. Thanks for everything

Tim & Purnell are charming. Love this
Prunella Scales and Timothy West...two great actors on a journey together! Great show and great post:)
WHat a wonderful couple to do this for their golden anniversary,great show ,keep on cruising.Hope they are still doing well
Their son Samuel is as well. He’s on the new “All Creatures Great and Small”.
If you're not moved by the sight of a woman with her mind slowly being eaten away singlehandedly negotiating 16 locks, there's something wrong with you.
Just love that woman - and the couple. Thanks for shearing. Tears are about to burst. Boats are ok, but the love between those two ..
Ya shes awesome!
Well Said.
16 locks and she did it! Bravo
Learned about more than canals and was worth it
They are a couple that people should look up to. Absolutely wonder couple and an amazing series ❤
Such a heart warming production in so many wonderful ways ❤️🇬🇧🌈

I love this programme and I adore this couple, still in love after all these years, true love
I’m in the same age bracket. Never been on a boat like that and have never been in Europe. Sure enjoy seeing a different way of life. 👍👍
Prunella and Timothy's marriage is a real relationship . You can see how much they love each other. It's not put on
It's been laugher and cutting onions for the last hour. Thank you both 🍻

What a lovely series. I looked it up after reading how they have had to stop filming due to Pru's health. I plan to watch and enjoy every episode.
It's such a lovely and natural video , nothing fake or contrived about this wonderful couple ,what a great trip
Greetings from ireland, This really is fabulous 👌.
Rare to see the unalloyed happiness such as was beaming from the face of the man who planted the wood.
I have just discovered you . what a loving interesting couple. thank you for sharing your life with us.
Where I live, there are 2 abandoned canals: The Welland Ship Canal. Watching this video brought me great joy. That people took the time to restore and use Canals from the past....
God Bless You both and thank You for posting this touching video, Cheers from America.
Very nice video.thanks for sharing
Thanks for the upload ,brilliant series.
What a delightful program thank you from New Zealand
Timothy, what a wonderful adventure! Enjoyed your sharing your travels.
This is looking back at a bye gone era, its sad that we will never see a time like this ever again.
great stuff.kind of sucks getting old when you see the pictures of when they took there 2 boys on narrow boat holidays all those years ago.great that there still doing it.time flies by so get out and enjoy life and make memories.god bless them.this is a great show.
Great watching you both. My wife and I going on 52 years married. So sad that we are in the 3 to 4% of couples that make it that far. Its been great watching you and all the work you have done. God Bless you both!!
What a shock. Yet how beautiful. Moop. Most of us will travel this way.
I'm mesmerized with your adventures and so happy in my soul, simply because you conquered your dreams of life. As a senior, a bit shaking, you gave me hope. See you all in Amsterdam.

Chris, what a beautiful series. I started watching on a cold Sunday afternoon in Calgary and how nice it was to visit with the lovely English canals and countryside. Thank you!
