Thanks for this,great film.I saw it when it came out and even then it was an elegy to a fast disappearing way of life.The great freeze of 1963 froze over the canal system for 2 months not only stopping traffic but buggering up the locks as well.The boats used in the film were on their way to be scrapped.

birmingham hasnt changed ! great to see corbett in his prime ,though typcasted as harold steptoe he is still great to watch andits easy to see why he was considered so highly by the acting industry . ronnie barker must like working with people called corbett .

id love to see the rest of this ,also i,d love that job they have ,that would suit me down to the ground ,on the canal all day in the english countryside radio on ,thats the life for me !

@j43ms thats nice to know.I live on a narrowboat myself and have cruised the route in the film.I will keep an eye out for the bellerophon and banstead!

[j43ms]

@patlaws

you'll be glad to learn that they weren't scrapped. "bellerophon" (ronnie's boat) has been renamed "iona" and is operating as a horse drawn trip boat, and i saw "banstead" (hemel's) passing through hanwell locks a few months ago, approximately where you see it at 6:52.
