JohnfromUK Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Last night I watched (almost by accident) a programme done by Gareth Edwards with his wife on the Llangollen canal called Gareth Edwards Great Welsh Adventure (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0009hyp) It was on BBC4 at 19:30. In a way it is a bit similar to Timothy West/Prunella Scales - but Gareth and his wife Maureen are naturally gifted presenters. I can recommend it as a gentle relaxing watch for anyone. Well done to Gareth, Maureen and the BBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had me in stitches when they were trying to tie the boat up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
