Nostalgia indeed ! I was 22 in '63 and had just got my 2nd Mates Ticket so the dockside and big ship images were very familiar.
Old Father Thames statue now resides at St. Johns Lock instead of in the middle of a field.
At around 3 minutes in at Boulters there is reference to the speed limit being 8 miles per hour.
Continuity was as much a problem then as it is now. Didi anyone spot that we somehow jumped back to exiting Boulters after leaving Bell Weir?
Interesting too, to see the smoke coming out of Battersea Power Station !

Thanks for the Salters link. This was available as a video perhaps 15 - 20 years ago, remember seeing the advert in Waterways World, regret I didn't buy, and have always wanted to view.
