All aboard!


Puzzled

Recommended Posts

...was the title for a very unique two hours of TV last night. A BBC4 programme that had no verbal commentary at all and was just a camera on the front of a barge recording a cruise along the Kennett & Avon Canal. All you heard was birdsong, the odd dog / cyclist / passing boat and the lapping of the water as the barge made it's way through the beautiful surroundings.

 

Very different, but somehow compelling after a while! Various bits of information about the canal were sporadically superimposed as you passed by, bit of history and even references to angling.

 

I found it fascinating, I think mainly because it was TV without anyone talking over everything. Anyone else see it?

Our chief weapon is surprise

I recorded it, and watched it tonight. It made a refreshing change, to hear nothing but apparent background noises for the whole programme, although it became obvious that they added the the sound track later. A little over long at 2 hours, but I still enjoyed it, even if I did fast forward a couple of times. :D

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

I thought my TV had broken down, managed to watch an half hour or so ! ! ! before my missus told me to turn it off.
