Watching it now... wonderful to know that Timothy West and Prunella actually like Fairport. Good to see bits of the festival and the village too. |

So great to see the enduring love of the couple despite the difficulties faced in older age.
Just watched on 4 +1, as my mum text to tell me it was on.
Lovely to hear Simon and the boys doing an intimate rendition of WKWTTG... it sounded so beautiful! I love them so much!

I just turned it on because I saw the route they were taking in the listing.
It made a change to see Fairport represented faithfully and the lads couldn't have been any more poignant. That and it also featured the Wey & Arun canal, that I'm involved with.
If that is the Canal Journeys epilogue, then perfect.

I expected it to be a bit corny but it was truly moving, and of all the repertoire, they couldn't have chosen a more fitting piece. Lovely.

Not perfect. Never claimed to be.

The song was indeed moving, especially given Pru's dementia's growing impact on their lives. I found it a very sad programme.

Thanks for alerting us to this … much enjoyed. I remember having moored in the village the day before the festival as easily as you please, only a "few" years ago  |

I thought that was very moving. I certainly had a tear in my eye, as did Dominic at one point. I did like Tim's daughter's comment about Pru steering into a lock. It did throw me a bit having the canal out of order though. Paul |
