It was not aimed at any members likely to post on this forum but chance to educate inform and possibly entertain members of the the general public and anything on TV that does not involve cooking/dancing or eating maggots in a jungle is just fine.
Personally was very interested in the fish traps being investigated by the young ladies.
Bit disappointed they majored on dull old Essex , much more interesting stuff south of the Thames of course.

Don't feel bad Unc. I dropped a cheap B&Q saw over the side of the boat, as one does. No bother I thought,, so out with my expensive magnet thing, lobbed it over the side and only then realised I had not tied the string on

Muppet or what?

Why not drop a metal object on a line and pick up the expensive magnet thing?

If that does not work, why not drag with a grapnel and try and pick up the string?

A yacht with no string is a MoBo

Presumably he meant the end of the string that should be made fast in the boat

They did pop into the merdeway, but could only find an old rusty tin can on a sandbank

Last week it was on Chanel 4 at 8.00pm, but according to my listing guide it is not on this Saturday

Several programmes were not in the listing guide, and now I have found out why .... My listing guide was for the wrong week
