To celebrate their golden wedding anniversary, actors Timothy West and Prunella Scales embark on four spectacular canal journeys, sharing a passion that they've enjoyed for decades.
To start the series, Tim and Pru revisit the Kennet and Avon Canal in the West Country. Back in 1990, to promote the fully restored canal, Tim and Pru were invited to be the first boat in 42 years to travel the full length of the K&A. Almost a quarter of a century later, they navigate the 21 miles along its most picturesque stretch, starting in Bath and ending in Devizes.

Actors Prunella Scales and Timothy West's second journey takes them to a waterway that was a main artery for the textile industry at the height of industrial revolution: the Rochdale Canal. Beginning in Sowerby Bridge, they head west through Mytholmroyd and past the once mighty textile mills at Hebden Bridge and Todmorden, before journeying up over the Pennines to the canal summit, more than 600 feet above sea level. It's the most physically demanding canal journey they have ever taken, and they must negotiate the second-deepest lock in the country, vandalised bridges and ancient lock gates.

Prunella Scales and Timothy West's third canal journey takes them back to their honeymoon destination, Llangollen, in north Wales. They cross from Shropshire, via the Llangollen Canal - one of the most picturesque canal journeys in the world. The trip includes the mystical hills of the Vale of Llangollen and the extraordinary Pontcysyllte aqueduct, the longest and highest aqueduct in Britain, and no place for the faint-hearted. While Pru clings on for dear life, Tim recites passages from Shakespeare. They couple also take a detour on the Montgomery Canal, once an industrial thoroughfare, now an area of outstanding natural beauty. The couple reminisce and consider how their marriage has survived and thrived. Tim visits the Llangollen steam railway and they travel on a horse-drawn barge up to the famous Horseshoe Falls.

For the last stage of Tim and Pru's canal odyssey, they head to France's Burgundy wine region to visit the Canal du Nivernais, which runs through some of the most picturesque scenery in northern France, passing towns and villages steeped in medieval history. The canal, which was critical in helping to ship wine north from the vineyards to Paris and beyond, has a very British connection: after it became commercially unproductive in the post war period, the Nivernais was subsequently revived as a tourist destination. Key to this was an invasion of British canal enthusiasts in the 1970s and 80s. The journey is a gastronomic pleasure trip for Tim and Pru. They visit the market at Chablis and help out at the annual grape harvest. They visit their youngest son, Joe, and the medieval city of Auxerre; and also reflect on what the journey has meant for them as a couple.
