Product Description
Both volumes of the BBC series where comedians Dara O'Briain, Rory McGrath, and Griff Rhys-Jones take to the water to humourously emulate Jerome K. Jerome's famous novel. In the first series, our intrepid voyagers navigate the river Thames between Kingston and Oxford, stopping off along the way to take in refreshments and visit friends like David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. Series two finds the seasoned travellers casting off from the south coast en route to the Isle of Wight, aboard the relative luxury of Griff's 1950s racing yacht 'Undina', all the while trying to survive the hazardous perils of the English Channel.

We really enjoyed watching and re-watching the graceful meandering down the River Thames following Jerome K Jerome with comic bantering, and then the daring attempt of Griff Rys Jones to take two complete amateur crew members out of the Thames, around the Kent coast, and then for a race near the Isle of Wight!

What's not to love..... being keen on sailing myself, I felt the pain of having to learn quickly but they never took themselves too seriously and it made for a beautifully enjoyable experience. Relax, open a bottle and watch; Dara O'Briain is particularly amusing....

Please Note as both have been on BBC 2 I base my review on that.
The BBC 2 version was in widescreen so I expect the dvd will be the same.
Running Time 4 hours approximately
Three Men in a Boat - 2 hours approximately
Griff Rhys Jones, Dara O'Briain, Rory McGrath and a nervous dog called Loli set out from Kingston to Oxford in a wooden skiff in an attempt to re-trace the journey up the Thames immortalised by Jerome K Jerome in his comedy classic Three Men in a Boat. Along the way they drop in unannounced on a couple of friends - Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and Antony Worrall Thomson.
Three Men in Another Boat - 2 hours approximately
A follow-up to the 2006 remake of the Jerome K. Jerome classic. Griff Rhys Jones, Dara O'Briain and Rory McGrath have set their ambitions much higher than their previous chortle along the Thames. This time, they are sailing from Tower Bridge to the Isle of Wight in Griff's classic yacht.
Sit back and relax and let the World pass you by.

A BBC video that I enjoyed on the T.V. and wanted to watch again.
I enjoyed seeing it again and will probably watch many times over the years.

The boat trip along the Thames is very good, with a focused idea and interesting "events" along the river supported by fun interactions among the group. Read more
