Welcome repeat showing over two nights Monday/Tuesday 15th/16th September 2008 on
BBC2 11.50-12.50am of the highly entertaining two part documentary:
Three Men In A Boat with Griff Rhys-Jones, Dara O'Briain and Rory McGrath.

The trio will row and tow a boat from Kingston to Oxford.
Their odyssey will take place in an exact replica of the wooden skiff used by author Jerome K Jerome, George, Harris and Montmorency the dog.

The book was first published in 1889, (one of the funniest and most enjoyable books I’ve ever read) and the series follows the original journey as faithfully as the passage of 116 years will allow.

They will moor where the original protagonists moored, sleep in the boat where the original characters slumbered, and stay in some of the same pubs and guest-houses.

"It's not intended as an exact recreation," said Commissioning Executive Gilly Hall, "But more an opportunity for three funny men to entertain audiences with themes that have already amused and delighted generations of readers."

I agree, it is a great series. Not only for the exploits of the three personalities but also to wander in the beauty of the Thames and it's surrounding areas.
