1
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:08,100
Hi, I'm Jane McDonald,
and I'm crazy about cruising.
2
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:10,620
It's just magnificent.
3
00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:13,620
It's not just me who thinks
it's magnificent.
4
00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:17,900
About 30 million people sail
to foreign shores each year...
5
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:18,900
Up there.
6
00:00:19,980 --> 00:00:21,460
This is amazing!
7
00:00:21,460 --> 00:00:25,060
..from sun seekers and explorers,
to couples, families
8
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:26,620
and solo sailors.
9
00:00:26,620 --> 00:00:28,460
Look at this!
10
00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:31,260
I fell in love with the ocean life
after working as a singer
11
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:32,580
on the ships...
12
00:00:32,580 --> 00:00:34,980
Oh, he wants me to drink it.
13
00:00:34,980 --> 00:00:38,340
..and now I'm a passenger,
I can't stop singing its praises.
14
00:00:38,340 --> 00:00:39,940
It's an adventure.
15
00:00:39,940 --> 00:00:41,860
It is exciting, isn't it?
16
00:00:41,860 --> 00:00:43,340
So come aboard.
17
00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:45,900
I'm going to share everything
I know to make sure
18
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:47,780
you have the greatest time.
19
00:00:47,780 --> 00:00:49,740
This has completely taken
my breath away.
20
00:00:55,980 --> 00:00:58,740
This time, I'm totally tropical...
21
00:00:58,740 --> 00:01:01,620
I'm loving your work,
loving your work.
22
00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:04,300
..cruising the Caribbean
on this spanking new
23
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:06,500
and blinking high megaship.
24
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:09,060
I actually got neckache
just looking up at it.
25
00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:12,620
Along the way, I'll be taking
an airboat round the Everglades...
26
00:01:12,620 --> 00:01:14,180
There's a lot
of flesh on these arms.
27
00:01:14,180 --> 00:01:16,220
Probably thinking,
"Tasty bingo wing!"
28
00:01:16,220 --> 00:01:18,940
..doing my best bongo
in the Bahamas...
29
00:01:18,940 --> 00:01:22,660
Ursula Andress, I am not.
30
00:01:22,660 --> 00:01:25,740
..reliving memories in
St Thomas...
31
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:27,620
Last time I was here,
I got married.
32
00:01:27,620 --> 00:01:29,540
I don't think I'll be
doing that again.
33
00:01:29,540 --> 00:01:32,780
..and enduring a perfect storm
in Sint Maarten.
34
00:01:32,780 --> 00:01:36,220
Ease, sandy! Sandy, ease!
35
00:01:36,220 --> 00:01:39,300
Oh, my God!
What just happened?
36
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:42,540
Two weeks sailing around the world's
most stunning sea.
37
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:43,620
Go on, then.
38
00:01:45,060 --> 00:01:46,580
I'm knackered already.
39
00:02:01,820 --> 00:02:05,820
Endless sun and guaranteed fun,
this is where to come.
40
00:02:05,820 --> 00:02:09,340
There's more than 1,300 miles of
coastline in Florida,
41
00:02:09,340 --> 00:02:12,020
enough to keep
any beach lover happy.
42
00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:15,420
But for me, it's only the start
of an adventure,
43
00:02:15,420 --> 00:02:18,660
as it's from here where my ship
will set sail for the Caribbean
44
00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:20,620
later this evening.
45
00:02:20,620 --> 00:02:22,660
We're in Fort Lauderdale.
46
00:02:22,660 --> 00:02:27,380
This is probably one of my most
favourite places in the whole world!
47
00:02:27,380 --> 00:02:31,220
I love it here, because when I was
on the ships, working on the ships,
48
00:02:31,220 --> 00:02:32,860
this is where I docked.
49
00:02:35,140 --> 00:02:36,900
Oh, it's so warm.
50
00:02:38,460 --> 00:02:40,420
Ease in.
51
00:02:40,420 --> 00:02:41,620
Thanks very much.
52
00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:44,220
Fresh off my overnight flight
from the UK,
53
00:02:44,220 --> 00:02:48,860
I'm taking a 12-minute taxi ride
back to that very same dock -
54
00:02:48,860 --> 00:02:50,340
Port Everglades.
55
00:02:50,340 --> 00:02:54,380
I sailed out of here for five years
when I was employed on the ships.
56
00:02:54,380 --> 00:02:56,660
It feels great to be back here,
57
00:02:56,660 --> 00:03:00,900
but it's really strange not
going through the staff gangway.
58
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:04,140
But I must admit,
it's grown in size,
59
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:07,820
cos it never used to be this big,
but it's huge now.
60
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:09,860
There's just ships everywhere.
61
00:03:09,860 --> 00:03:13,380
Around 850 of them each year,
in fact,
62
00:03:13,380 --> 00:03:16,700
together carrying
4 million passengers.
63
00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:17,980
And that's incredible.
64
00:03:17,980 --> 00:03:22,260
About 22,000 just today
will go through this port.
65
00:03:22,260 --> 00:03:25,420
And you know what they say
about big ports.
66
00:03:25,420 --> 00:03:27,060
Aye! Big ships.
67
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:30,780
This is the vessel I'm going to have
as my home
68
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:33,140
for the next two weeks.
69
00:03:33,140 --> 00:03:34,900
Look at it.
70
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:37,100
It's massive!
71
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:39,900
It's called a megaship.
72
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:42,700
I've actually got a neckache
just looking up at it.
73
00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:46,220
With a staggering 19 decks,
74
00:03:46,220 --> 00:03:50,020
the Sky Princess accommodates
over 3,500 passengers.
75
00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:55,500
It's only 9am, and we don't actually
set sail for another ten hours.
76
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:58,540
So, as I checked in online
before leaving Wakey,
77
00:03:58,540 --> 00:04:01,940
I can simply drop my bag off,
acquaint myself with the ship
78
00:04:01,940 --> 00:04:04,820
and spend a full day
exploring beforehand.
79
00:04:04,820 --> 00:04:06,580
Good job I slept well on the plane!
80
00:04:06,580 --> 00:04:08,140
Hi. How are you?
81
00:04:08,140 --> 00:04:10,660
I'm really well.
Is this all I do? Beautiful.
82
00:04:10,660 --> 00:04:12,580
That's it? Jane, right? Yeah.
83
00:04:12,580 --> 00:04:14,780
I've never been through this before.
84
00:04:14,780 --> 00:04:19,140
Now what happens is, you download
everything on your phone,
85
00:04:19,140 --> 00:04:21,900
and it's like ticketing
on your phone.
86
00:04:21,900 --> 00:04:24,220
So you're already checked in.
87
00:04:24,220 --> 00:04:27,180
You just come and see these people
here, get a medallion.
88
00:04:27,180 --> 00:04:29,140
I don't know what a medallion is.
89
00:04:29,140 --> 00:04:31,340
The medallion is
a very unique thing. Right.
90
00:04:31,340 --> 00:04:32,820
It looks just like this.
91
00:04:32,820 --> 00:04:34,700
OK. And what it's going to do,
92
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:37,980
it's going to enable you
to get on and off the ship,
93
00:04:37,980 --> 00:04:40,740
cos they're going to scan it
and your picture is going to pop up.
94
00:04:40,740 --> 00:04:44,460
It's also able to unlock the cabin
door, which is kind of unique.
95
00:04:44,460 --> 00:04:47,500
Yeah. That'll help you out,
like, navigating my ship.
96
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:49,700
And also, if you want to buy
something in the gift shop
97
00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:52,860
or the lounge, it also is going to
be tied to your credit card,
98
00:04:52,860 --> 00:04:54,500
and you'll be able to use this
as well.
99
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:56,900
So it does everything that
the room keys used to do,
100
00:04:56,900 --> 00:04:58,700
but it's a lot more fun.
101
00:04:58,700 --> 00:05:00,900
Now, your name should be on it
right here. Yeah.
102
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:02,580
Oh, it matches my top
and everything!
103
00:05:02,580 --> 00:05:04,140
Fantastic!
Thanks a lot.
104
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:05,420
Bye, bye!
105
00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:11,180
Now, a word for any would-be
medallion men and women
106
00:05:11,180 --> 00:05:12,660
who may be watching...
107
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:13,700
Woohoo!
108
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:15,140
Oh, it's fab in here.
109
00:05:15,140 --> 00:05:18,060
All this new technology
may be very impressive,
110
00:05:18,060 --> 00:05:22,340
but you are on a cruise ship,
where some things never change.
111
00:05:22,340 --> 00:05:24,740
Please remember that everything
that you use this for,
112
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:27,420
you're going to pay for
at the end of it.
113
00:05:28,980 --> 00:05:32,220
And this is one ship where
you won't struggle to spend.
114
00:05:32,220 --> 00:05:37,660
It's got seven decks of retail bars
and eateries, plus 16 restaurants,
115
00:05:37,660 --> 00:05:41,660
along with three pools,
a spa and a theatre.
116
00:05:41,660 --> 00:05:44,900
And for those who are feeling
lucky, there's even a casino.
117
00:05:48,820 --> 00:05:51,220
Right, what do we do?
Oh, look at this!
118
00:05:53,460 --> 00:05:56,300
Hi. Hi. Welcome on board, ma'am.
119
00:05:56,300 --> 00:05:58,020
Thank you very much. Miss Jane?
120
00:05:58,020 --> 00:05:59,820
Yes. McDonald? Uh-huh.
121
00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:02,780
Can I take a picture?
Yeah. Thank you.
122
00:06:02,780 --> 00:06:04,980
Is it good? It'll have to do.
123
00:06:06,580 --> 00:06:08,020
Can you put a filter on that?
124
00:06:10,340 --> 00:06:13,980
Well, that was simple enough.
Just have to find me room now!
125
00:06:15,460 --> 00:06:17,500
Right, starboard.
126
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:19,380
Which is port
and which is starboard?
127
00:06:19,380 --> 00:06:22,140
I don't know which is pointy end
and which is not.
128
00:06:22,140 --> 00:06:24,220
Erm, hang on a minute.
129
00:06:24,220 --> 00:06:26,540
SHE MUMBLES
Let's have a look.
130
00:06:26,540 --> 00:06:27,780
This way.
131
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:30,220
God, it's big, isn't it?
132
00:06:33,020 --> 00:06:35,820
Ah-ha! Yay, I'm here!
133
00:06:35,820 --> 00:06:38,580
So I put that here, do I?
134
00:06:38,580 --> 00:06:40,420
Look at that.
135
00:06:40,420 --> 00:06:43,100
Oh, wow, look at this!
136
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:45,260
Oh, I'm happy with this. Come in.
137
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:49,420
Oh, it's fabulous, isn't it?
138
00:06:49,420 --> 00:06:51,820
Oh, it's all brand-spanking-new.
139
00:06:51,820 --> 00:06:53,740
Nice, I got a fridge.
140
00:06:53,740 --> 00:06:56,140
What a lovely, lovely room!
141
00:06:56,140 --> 00:06:59,460
I also love this - it's a desk.
142
00:06:59,460 --> 00:07:02,260
Cos I write a journal every night.
143
00:07:02,260 --> 00:07:05,140
So this is perfect for me.
Oh, wahey!
144
00:07:05,140 --> 00:07:08,260
That's great. Plenty of hangers.
I need them.
145
00:07:10,220 --> 00:07:11,820
Nice little bathroom.
146
00:07:11,820 --> 00:07:14,180
It is unusual to get baths, but...
SHE LAUGHS
147
00:07:15,380 --> 00:07:16,580
..happy me!
148
00:07:16,580 --> 00:07:19,460
SING-SONGY: I really like it!
149
00:07:19,460 --> 00:07:23,180
Oh, somebody's brought me flowers.
150
00:07:23,180 --> 00:07:26,700
When you're choosing your cabin,
it's your cabin.
151
00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:31,700
There is a budget for everybody, but
there's also a cabin for everybody.
152
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:34,540
I've chose this one
because I get a balcony.
153
00:07:34,540 --> 00:07:36,740
But what do you really
want out of it?
154
00:07:36,740 --> 00:07:38,940
Do you want to see the world
from your cabin,
155
00:07:38,940 --> 00:07:40,860
or would you like to be up at
the pool?
156
00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:44,100
Because if you're going to be
outside all the time,
157
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:46,660
you just get an inside cabin.
158
00:07:46,660 --> 00:07:48,060
Sort of makes sense, doesn't it?
159
00:07:48,060 --> 00:07:52,940
A lot cheaper, and then you can
spend it being outside all the time.
160
00:07:52,940 --> 00:07:56,700
Now, don't get me wrong,
I absolutely love a good old mingle,
161
00:07:56,700 --> 00:07:59,780
whether it's around the pool,
in the bars, restaurants
162
00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:02,940
or anywhere else on
this colossal ship,
163
00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:05,740
but cruising's also about me time.
164
00:08:05,740 --> 00:08:07,940
And this is very me.
165
00:08:09,340 --> 00:08:10,540
Oh, yeah!
166
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:13,780
This is what I like.
167
00:08:13,780 --> 00:08:17,260
I like the outside space.
168
00:08:17,260 --> 00:08:20,220
I like to be able to sit here,
read a book,
169
00:08:20,220 --> 00:08:22,740
take in the sea when we're at sea,
170
00:08:22,740 --> 00:08:26,060
have a cup of tea and just
watch the world go by.
171
00:08:27,460 --> 00:08:31,660
And that, to me, is a holiday. I
want a rest when I come on holiday.
172
00:08:31,660 --> 00:08:34,220
So this room is specific to me.
173
00:08:36,140 --> 00:08:40,340
OK, I've checked out my room,
and there'll be plenty of time
174
00:08:40,340 --> 00:08:43,140
to tour the rest of the ship later,
175
00:08:43,140 --> 00:08:47,460
because right now I need to make use
of the time it's tied up in port,
176
00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:50,100
by taking a 45-minute drive west
to somewhere
177
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:52,220
I've been told you must see.
178
00:08:53,820 --> 00:08:57,140
And this is my destination,
the Everglades -
179
00:08:57,140 --> 00:09:00,380
or "Sea of Grass",
as the locals call it.
180
00:09:00,380 --> 00:09:04,300
Covering 1.5 million acres,
this vast wetland
181
00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:08,540
is half the size of Yorkshire
with even bolshier residents.
182
00:09:08,540 --> 00:09:11,220
Over 200,000 alligators live here.
183
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:15,060
And if you want to come face-to-face
with some of them,
184
00:09:15,060 --> 00:09:19,260
the best and safest way
is by airboat.
185
00:09:19,260 --> 00:09:22,060
Oh, this is it!
186
00:09:22,060 --> 00:09:24,340
Yay!
187
00:09:24,340 --> 00:09:27,260
Hi! Good morning. Good morning. How
are you? Doing well, how are you?
188
00:09:27,260 --> 00:09:30,100
Pleasure to meet you.
I'm Marshall Jones. I'm Jane.
189
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:31,540
Nice to meet you, Jane. Right.
190
00:09:31,540 --> 00:09:34,540
Hi there, I'm Jane. Casey.
Nice to meet you.
191
00:09:34,540 --> 00:09:36,260
Casey, nice to see you.
192
00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:41,060
Marshall's family have been running
airboat tours here for 75 years.
193
00:09:41,060 --> 00:09:42,740
I pre-booked mine online.
194
00:09:42,740 --> 00:09:45,740
Right. Oh, hey up! Do we need these?
195
00:09:45,740 --> 00:09:47,900
You should definitely wear those.
Really? Why?
196
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:49,980
Well, it's pretty darn loud.
197
00:09:49,980 --> 00:09:52,980
Are you driving us?
I am. Fantastic, Marshall!
198
00:09:52,980 --> 00:09:55,940
This is the most thrilling thing you
can do in the Everglades... Yeah.
199
00:09:55,940 --> 00:09:58,860
..short of wrestling an alligator.
Fabulous!
200
00:10:00,460 --> 00:10:04,700
Each of these flat-bottomed craft
can reach speeds of up to 50 miles
201
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:09,060
an hour, and their speciality, so
Marshal's just decided to tell me,
202
00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:10,700
is twirlies!
203
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:13,380
It seemed a good idea
when I booked it.
204
00:10:16,020 --> 00:10:17,700
ENGINE ROARS
205
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:20,300
Blimey, that's...
That's why you need these!
206
00:10:21,940 --> 00:10:23,100
Ah!
207
00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:28,500
All right, everybody, hold on.
208
00:10:33,340 --> 00:10:35,100
JANE SCREAMS
209
00:10:37,940 --> 00:10:39,420
Oh, my God!
210
00:10:44,620 --> 00:10:46,020
Woo!
211
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:48,180
Oh, my God!
212
00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:49,620
I'm bloody drenched!
213
00:10:53,620 --> 00:10:56,100
JANE SCREAMS
214
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:06,300
Absolutely wet through.
215
00:11:07,620 --> 00:11:10,420
JANE CHUCKLES
I'm gonna have you!
216
00:11:13,940 --> 00:11:18,020
Next, I venture deeper and explore
the wonder of the Everglades...
217
00:11:18,020 --> 00:11:21,260
Alligator, alligator,
right in front of us. Oh, my God!
218
00:11:21,260 --> 00:11:24,180
..and, as my supersized ship
sets sail...
219
00:11:24,180 --> 00:11:26,780
Oh, wow! This is fantastic.
Look at that.
220
00:11:26,780 --> 00:11:28,780
..I take a walk on the wild side.
221
00:11:28,780 --> 00:11:30,900
If you don't like heights,
don't do this bit.
222
00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:40,190
Welcome back to my Caribbean
cruise adventure,
223
00:11:40,190 --> 00:11:43,350
although the eagle-eyed amongst you
will spot that I'm not actually
224
00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:45,990
in the Caribbean yet,
but still in Florida -
225
00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:49,470
from where my ship's due
to sail at 8pm sharp.
226
00:11:49,470 --> 00:11:53,950
As I was all checked in by midday,
I've headed 33 miles inland
227
00:11:53,950 --> 00:11:56,670
to experience something
I've never done before -
228
00:11:56,670 --> 00:11:59,310
an airboat tour
around the Everglades.
229
00:11:59,310 --> 00:12:02,230
It's so exciting,
because you're on land one minute,
230
00:12:02,230 --> 00:12:03,670
and then you're in the reeds.
231
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:05,350
It's just amazing.
232
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:06,630
It's fab!
233
00:12:08,110 --> 00:12:10,710
I wish I could say the same
for the smell, though.
234
00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:14,910
That pungent pong in the air
could be stagnant swamp water.
235
00:12:14,910 --> 00:12:17,430
On the other hand, it could be fear.
236
00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:19,070
And here's why.
237
00:12:19,070 --> 00:12:21,190
Alligator.
Alligator right in front of us.
238
00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:26,390
Oh, wow!
239
00:12:26,390 --> 00:12:29,510
So here's your first close encounter
with the American alligator.
240
00:12:29,510 --> 00:12:30,790
Oh, my God.
241
00:12:32,630 --> 00:12:33,790
I know!
242
00:12:33,790 --> 00:12:37,550
So here we have what I believe
is a female alligator,
243
00:12:37,550 --> 00:12:39,750
because of how white her teeth are.
244
00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:42,830
Do they just clean the teeth a bit
more often, the women around here?
245
00:12:42,830 --> 00:12:47,070
Well, the alligators' nest
is a very large compost pile.
246
00:12:47,070 --> 00:12:49,470
And the way they get the grass
to break loose is by grabbing it
247
00:12:49,470 --> 00:12:52,310
with their teeth and thrashing it,
which polishes their teeth.
248
00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:55,310
The males don't ever do that,
so their teeth are kind of grody.
249
00:12:55,310 --> 00:12:56,590
Wow!
250
00:12:56,590 --> 00:12:57,830
Sounds familiar.
251
00:12:57,830 --> 00:13:01,630
Anyway, at this point in the trip,
I'd normally whip out my guidebook
252
00:13:01,630 --> 00:13:05,310
and tell you all there is to know
about gators and why you'll find
253
00:13:05,310 --> 00:13:07,310
so many of them right here.
254
00:13:07,310 --> 00:13:09,990
But hey, I've got Marshall!
255
00:13:09,990 --> 00:13:14,310
Channels like this
produce lots of food for them,
256
00:13:14,310 --> 00:13:19,710
be it turtles, gators, fish, snakes,
birds - you name it.
257
00:13:19,710 --> 00:13:22,510
Everything they could possibly
want to eat is right here. Wow!
258
00:13:22,510 --> 00:13:24,710
Jane. Yeah? It is possible
for alligators
259
00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:27,670
to jump nearly half their
body length into the air,
260
00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:30,390
so please keep that in mind
as we get close to these alligators.
261
00:13:30,390 --> 00:13:32,750
Don't reach out over top of them,
because you never know,
262
00:13:32,750 --> 00:13:34,510
they might try to jump up
and take your hand.
263
00:13:34,510 --> 00:13:36,110
Oh, right.
264
00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:38,510
Erm...
265
00:13:38,510 --> 00:13:41,030
I think I'll keep my hands
within the boat.
266
00:13:41,030 --> 00:13:43,070
You see, there's a lot of flesh
on these arms, you see,
267
00:13:43,070 --> 00:13:45,230
and they're looking
very, very delicious, probably,
268
00:13:45,230 --> 00:13:46,670
to an alligator.
269
00:13:48,630 --> 00:13:51,870
Probably thinking,
"Tasty bingo wing there", you know?
270
00:13:54,430 --> 00:13:56,150
She's coming for you, Jane!
271
00:13:56,150 --> 00:13:58,430
Don't say that.
LAUGHTER
272
00:14:02,710 --> 00:14:06,710
Well, I don't fancy being lunch,
but I do fancy eating some,
273
00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:09,510
and luckily for me, it's included
on this tour.
274
00:14:09,510 --> 00:14:11,390
All right, we are back,
ladies and gentlemen.
275
00:14:11,390 --> 00:14:14,470
Please watch your step
getting off the boat. One at a time.
276
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:16,190
Thank you very much. You're welcome.
277
00:14:18,470 --> 00:14:21,070
What's this? Frog legs and
gator bites. Frog...
278
00:14:21,070 --> 00:14:23,790
Frogs' legs and gator bites?
Yes, ma'am.
279
00:14:23,790 --> 00:14:28,430
Not quite what I was expecting,
but when in the Everglades...
280
00:14:28,430 --> 00:14:30,830
So what does gator taste like?
281
00:14:30,830 --> 00:14:33,390
The chicken of the Everglades.
Really? Absolutely.
282
00:14:33,390 --> 00:14:35,150
It's a very white meat
like chicken breast.
283
00:14:35,150 --> 00:14:36,510
Oh, I like that.
284
00:14:36,510 --> 00:14:39,030
For us locals, alligator
is still a delicacy
285
00:14:39,030 --> 00:14:41,350
because we can only harvest
two a year. Right.
286
00:14:41,350 --> 00:14:43,070
I've never eaten alligator before,
287
00:14:43,070 --> 00:14:46,150
but I'm always willing
to give something a try. Yeah.
288
00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:48,190
It's very good. I'm going in.
289
00:14:48,190 --> 00:14:50,070
You'll definitely enjoy it.
I'm sure.
290
00:14:54,750 --> 00:14:56,350
I'm going in for the gator.
291
00:15:01,350 --> 00:15:02,990
Mm!
292
00:15:02,990 --> 00:15:05,670
Oh, that is really good.
293
00:15:05,670 --> 00:15:09,510
That taste's like a really,
really, really good
294
00:15:09,510 --> 00:15:11,030
chicken nugget, you know?
295
00:15:12,230 --> 00:15:14,830
No, it doesn't,
cos it's so much better.
296
00:15:14,830 --> 00:15:18,470
I'd just like to say thank you
so, so much for your company today,
297
00:15:18,470 --> 00:15:21,110
showing me such a great trip.
You're welcome.
298
00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:22,870
And... But I've really got
to get off
299
00:15:22,870 --> 00:15:25,630
cos I've got a boat to catch, so...
300
00:15:25,630 --> 00:15:27,950
But thanks ever so much.
You're welcome back any time.
301
00:15:27,950 --> 00:15:30,150
Thank you for coming to see us.
Bless you.
302
00:15:30,150 --> 00:15:32,310
I think when you go on holiday,
you should do things
303
00:15:32,310 --> 00:15:33,750
out of your comfort zone.
304
00:15:33,750 --> 00:15:36,790
Today I've eaten alligator,
I've eaten frogs' legs.
305
00:15:36,790 --> 00:15:39,550
But this was an exciting,
exhilarating,
306
00:15:39,550 --> 00:15:41,190
really fabulous trip today.
307
00:15:41,190 --> 00:15:42,630
And it's only Day 1!
308
00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:45,030
Actually, I'm back again.
309
00:15:45,030 --> 00:15:47,190
Can I just take one more
for the road?
310
00:15:47,190 --> 00:15:48,590
All right!
311
00:15:48,590 --> 00:15:50,950
Right, I'm having that one.
312
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:52,790
See you later, alligator.
313
00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:55,510
Hey! After a while, crocodile!
314
00:15:55,510 --> 00:15:57,790
I thoroughly recommend this trip -
315
00:15:57,790 --> 00:16:00,270
thrills, chills
and mind-blowing vistas.
316
00:16:01,950 --> 00:16:04,190
But now I'm heading back to port,
317
00:16:04,190 --> 00:16:08,150
just in time to board
this shiny new 19-deck megaship,
318
00:16:08,150 --> 00:16:11,310
along with 3,500 fellow passengers.
319
00:16:13,110 --> 00:16:15,630
And if I'm going to sail down
to the tropics,
320
00:16:15,630 --> 00:16:18,190
I might as well put myself
in the mood.
321
00:16:18,190 --> 00:16:20,350
Hi, can I have a Key West cooler,
please?
322
00:16:20,350 --> 00:16:21,470
Yes, of course.
323
00:16:21,470 --> 00:16:23,310
Thank you.
324
00:16:23,310 --> 00:16:26,750
You've got to come up and have
a cocktail while you sail away.
325
00:16:26,750 --> 00:16:28,350
It's just the law.
326
00:16:28,350 --> 00:16:32,670
This one's vodka, coconut rum
liqueur, cranberry and orange juice.
327
00:16:32,670 --> 00:16:33,750
Mwah!
328
00:16:33,750 --> 00:16:34,830
Do you need that?
329
00:16:34,830 --> 00:16:37,310
Yes, please.
Just give me a moment.
330
00:16:39,270 --> 00:16:41,670
Thank you. Thank you!
331
00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:43,510
Rock and roll.
332
00:16:43,510 --> 00:16:45,110
Little tip -
333
00:16:45,110 --> 00:16:48,190
if you add a drinks package
to your ticket before you board,
334
00:16:48,190 --> 00:16:50,110
you can just pay with
your medallion.
335
00:16:50,110 --> 00:16:53,350
There are plenty to choose from
on the cruise company's website.
336
00:16:53,350 --> 00:16:56,870
Just pick the one that suits
based on what you like to drink
337
00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:58,790
and how much.
338
00:16:58,790 --> 00:17:00,590
We are sailing!
339
00:17:00,590 --> 00:17:02,790
Come on, the Caribbean!
340
00:17:02,790 --> 00:17:05,150
Ooh, I do love sail away.
341
00:17:05,150 --> 00:17:07,510
It not only marks the start
of your holidays,
342
00:17:07,510 --> 00:17:10,470
it's the perfect opportunity
to meet your fellow passengers...
343
00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:12,790
Ta-ra, Fort Lauderdale. Bye!
344
00:17:14,190 --> 00:17:17,910
..like the Housley family.
They're from Barnsley, you know?
345
00:17:17,910 --> 00:17:19,510
Have you been here before?
346
00:17:19,510 --> 00:17:20,870
Yeah, I used to sail out of here
347
00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:23,110
when I was a cruise ship singer
all them years ago.
348
00:17:23,110 --> 00:17:24,790
Have you been to
the Caribbean before?
349
00:17:24,790 --> 00:17:27,430
Yeah, we've been a couple times.
Have you? Do you like it there?
350
00:17:27,430 --> 00:17:29,630
Yeah, it's amazing. Yeah.
351
00:17:29,630 --> 00:17:32,550
And it's great to see
somebody so young
352
00:17:32,550 --> 00:17:34,750
having a great time on a cruise,
cos I think...
353
00:17:34,750 --> 00:17:37,310
You know, it's a family thing now,
isn't it? It is. All right.
354
00:17:37,310 --> 00:17:39,870
Glad you're enjoying it.
Enjoying quality time together.
355
00:17:39,870 --> 00:17:42,190
Quality time - that's what
it's all about, isn't it?
356
00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:47,470
And where better to spend
that quality time
357
00:17:47,470 --> 00:17:50,430
than floating around the Caribbean?
358
00:17:50,430 --> 00:17:53,590
Our first leg will take us southeast
from Fort Lauderdale
359
00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:57,830
towards the private resort
of Princess Cays on Eleuthera.
360
00:17:57,830 --> 00:18:01,390
From there, we'll continue along
to the Virgin Isles
361
00:18:01,390 --> 00:18:05,310
and one of my favourite places
in the world, St Thomas.
362
00:18:05,310 --> 00:18:07,790
After that, we're going Dutch
on Sint Maarten.
363
00:18:07,790 --> 00:18:11,030
We'll then head back to Florida
for a quick changeover
364
00:18:11,030 --> 00:18:14,070
and start the second leg
of this fabulous cruise.
365
00:18:18,670 --> 00:18:21,630
It'll take two full days
to get to our first stop,
366
00:18:21,630 --> 00:18:24,430
so time to whip out my stick
and show you
367
00:18:24,430 --> 00:18:27,030
some of the fabulous features
on board.
368
00:18:27,030 --> 00:18:28,710
This is a massive ship.
369
00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:33,830
I have got no idea where I am,
and so I'm off for a wander.
370
00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:35,830
You'll have to forgive the voice.
371
00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:38,070
It must have been all that screaming
on the airboat.
372
00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:40,910
Let's call it...husky.
373
00:18:40,910 --> 00:18:42,150
Wow, it's huge, isn't it?
374
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:46,230
I love all the ornate touches
on the ship.
375
00:18:46,230 --> 00:18:48,270
It's glitzy. It's glam.
376
00:18:48,270 --> 00:18:49,950
In fact, ignore the water
377
00:18:49,950 --> 00:18:52,230
and you could be
walking down Knightsbridge.
378
00:18:52,230 --> 00:18:55,550
Oh, wow!
379
00:18:55,550 --> 00:18:57,670
This is fantastic. Look at that!
380
00:18:59,670 --> 00:19:01,870
If you don't like heights,
don't do this bit.
381
00:19:01,870 --> 00:19:04,350
I honestly could spend hours
just walking 'round
382
00:19:04,350 --> 00:19:06,350
and exploring like this -
383
00:19:06,350 --> 00:19:10,190
not that there's a shortage
of entertainment, mind.
384
00:19:10,190 --> 00:19:11,830
Most people head for
that centre pool
385
00:19:11,830 --> 00:19:14,430
because there's lots of things
going on there.
386
00:19:14,430 --> 00:19:18,190
There's dancing, teaching, Zumba.
387
00:19:18,190 --> 00:19:21,070
There's films going on.
388
00:19:21,070 --> 00:19:24,070
But if you want something
a little bit more sedate,
389
00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:29,310
you can find places on the ship
that are quiet.
390
00:19:29,310 --> 00:19:34,030
This buffet offers world cuisine -
and there's no need to book.
391
00:19:34,030 --> 00:19:36,550
There are 15 other restaurants
to choose from,
392
00:19:36,550 --> 00:19:39,990
offering everything from
sushi and pizza to seafood...
393
00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:44,550
..and for those with
a sweet tooth, gelato.
394
00:19:44,550 --> 00:19:49,110
Most do require a reservation,
though, so, to be sure of a place -
395
00:19:49,110 --> 00:19:52,510
especially on the four sea days -
do book ahead.
396
00:19:53,630 --> 00:19:55,670
This is quite nice, isn't it?
397
00:19:55,670 --> 00:19:58,510
See what I mean about
your own little area?
398
00:19:59,870 --> 00:20:02,910
That's grand. Look at that!
399
00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:04,830
There's a lovely big sundeck.
400
00:20:04,830 --> 00:20:07,030
So if my balcony is in the shade,
401
00:20:07,030 --> 00:20:09,310
here is where you'll find me
and my book,
402
00:20:09,310 --> 00:20:11,310
taking in the view and the sea air.
403
00:20:11,310 --> 00:20:15,590
This ship is as wide as
the Statue of Liberty.
404
00:20:15,590 --> 00:20:18,950
And if you laid
the Eiffel Tower down,
405
00:20:18,950 --> 00:20:20,950
it would be as long as this ship.
406
00:20:22,350 --> 00:20:24,870
It is rather big.
407
00:20:26,030 --> 00:20:28,270
But you've still got
your quiet areas.
408
00:20:28,270 --> 00:20:31,670
Here's your little golf course -
somebody playing golf there.
409
00:20:33,510 --> 00:20:35,710
Now, we're on our way,
we've set sail,
410
00:20:35,710 --> 00:20:38,630
and we're off on our holidays
to the Bahamas.
411
00:20:38,630 --> 00:20:42,550
Now, when I started cruising,
an abacus and a ready reckoner
412
00:20:42,550 --> 00:20:45,470
were the height of technology.
Not any more.
413
00:20:45,470 --> 00:20:47,190
Here, the whole vessel,
414
00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:50,550
in fact, the entire world,
is just a click away -
415
00:20:50,550 --> 00:20:54,310
once you've found your way
into the tech zone, that is.
416
00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:55,590
Hello! Hi there.
417
00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:58,630
Is this where you get your internet
sorted? That's correct, yes.
418
00:20:58,630 --> 00:21:00,470
I can't... I can't get on.
419
00:21:00,470 --> 00:21:02,070
OK, well, let's take a look-see.
420
00:21:04,910 --> 00:21:09,510
Right. So...you are connected now.
We can see that here.
421
00:21:09,510 --> 00:21:12,470
OK. Yeah, so now you can
open the app.
422
00:21:12,470 --> 00:21:15,830
All right. We have a little profile
for yourself.
423
00:21:17,710 --> 00:21:19,150
So, you have your journey,
424
00:21:19,150 --> 00:21:22,270
and it actually shows you
all of the itinerary.
425
00:21:22,270 --> 00:21:24,950
That's amazing!
426
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:27,310
Cos the amount of days I wake up
and think,
427
00:21:27,310 --> 00:21:32,950
"I don't know where I am," you know,
or my name sometimes, even.
428
00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:35,270
So this is... This is really good.
429
00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:39,750
Now, another thing that
is very, very nice here,
430
00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:42,110
if you hit on this little icon
up here... OK.
431
00:21:42,110 --> 00:21:46,350
..you can actually find your
shipmates. You can chat with people.
432
00:21:46,350 --> 00:21:48,310
Oh, yeah, that's telling me
where I am!
433
00:21:48,310 --> 00:21:51,030
I'm very impressed with that.
434
00:21:51,030 --> 00:21:55,390
As someone who is not very good
at finding internet, even,
435
00:21:55,390 --> 00:21:58,550
and GSpots -
or whatever they are -
436
00:21:58,550 --> 00:22:01,950
I find this is really helpful.
437
00:22:01,950 --> 00:22:04,950
And if I can use it, trust me,
anybody can.
438
00:22:04,950 --> 00:22:07,430
Thank you so much.
It is my pleasure.
439
00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:11,070
So, to recap, the app gives you
the cruise itinerary,
440
00:22:11,070 --> 00:22:13,910
a map with a GPS,
so you'll never get lost,
441
00:22:13,910 --> 00:22:16,510
and it shows you
where your mates are.
442
00:22:16,510 --> 00:22:19,070
No smartphone? No worries.
443
00:22:19,070 --> 00:22:21,830
There are interactive touchscreens
all over the ship
444
00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:24,630
that you can have a play with.
445
00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:26,990
Right. While I've been
screen-surfing,
446
00:22:26,990 --> 00:22:28,710
the ship's been sailing.
447
00:22:28,710 --> 00:22:31,950
And overnight,
we've covered 265 miles
448
00:22:31,950 --> 00:22:35,150
to reach our first port of call,
the Bahamas.
449
00:22:37,670 --> 00:22:40,630
I'll never forget the first time
I came to these islands.
450
00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:44,550
They took my breath away then
and they still do now.
451
00:22:44,550 --> 00:22:47,830
I mean, just look all that
pure white sand
452
00:22:47,830 --> 00:22:50,710
and crystal-clear blue water.
453
00:22:50,710 --> 00:22:54,750
No wonder over 5 million visitors
come here each year.
454
00:22:54,750 --> 00:22:58,670
Madam Jane, enjoy your day.
Thank you!
455
00:22:58,670 --> 00:23:03,510
There are 700 islands in the
Bahamas, and this one, Eleuthera,
456
00:23:03,510 --> 00:23:06,790
is home to the cruise's own
private beach resort,
457
00:23:06,790 --> 00:23:09,030
where we'll be spending the day.
458
00:23:09,030 --> 00:23:10,910
With the ship anchored offshore,
459
00:23:10,910 --> 00:23:13,590
it's just a ten-minute tender ride
to get here.
460
00:23:13,590 --> 00:23:16,470
Just don't forget - grab your
swimming costume and towel
461
00:23:16,470 --> 00:23:18,910
from your cabin. Hope they make me
feel welcome!
462
00:23:18,910 --> 00:23:21,990
I'm good, thank you... Hey!
463
00:23:21,990 --> 00:23:23,870
SHE LAUGHS
464
00:23:26,510 --> 00:23:29,710
I've just had my picture taken
with a pirate!
465
00:23:29,710 --> 00:23:33,670
This 40-acre resort gives passengers
of the ship exclusive use
466
00:23:33,670 --> 00:23:36,430
of its half-a-mile long
golden beach.
467
00:23:36,430 --> 00:23:39,390
There'll be plenty of time to meet
some of those friendly faces,
468
00:23:39,390 --> 00:23:43,630
but first, I'm going to enjoy
some time and space to myself
469
00:23:43,630 --> 00:23:45,950
in one of these
beach-side bungalows.
470
00:23:45,950 --> 00:23:50,390
The boat is spectacular, a mega,
but it's very busy.
471
00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:52,550
And I sometimes like to get away
from it all
472
00:23:52,550 --> 00:23:55,150
and just a little bit of quiet.
473
00:23:55,150 --> 00:23:57,790
I'm going to pull that out
a little bit,
474
00:23:57,790 --> 00:24:01,150
and I'm just going to sit here
and watch the world go by...
475
00:24:02,270 --> 00:24:04,230
..because I'm on me holidays...
476
00:24:06,030 --> 00:24:07,030
..which means...
477
00:24:08,270 --> 00:24:09,790
..I can do what I want.
478
00:24:10,910 --> 00:24:12,670
Oh, this is lovely!
479
00:24:14,070 --> 00:24:16,590
As the resort's part of
the cruise itself,
480
00:24:16,590 --> 00:24:18,230
your food here is included.
481
00:24:18,230 --> 00:24:22,230
And perhaps more importantly,
your drinks package also applies.
482
00:24:22,230 --> 00:24:25,470
You can either walk to one of
the bars or sit back and enjoy
483
00:24:25,470 --> 00:24:27,270
beach bungalow service.
484
00:24:27,270 --> 00:24:28,870
Mm!
485
00:24:28,870 --> 00:24:31,310
SIGHS: This is smashing.
486
00:24:35,150 --> 00:24:37,790
The sound of the sea is so hypnotic,
487
00:24:37,790 --> 00:24:41,270
I can't help but drift in and out of
sleep as the hours pass.
488
00:24:45,710 --> 00:24:51,310
Now I'm suitably relaxed,
I think it's time for a mingle.
489
00:24:51,310 --> 00:24:52,310
That's nice.
490
00:24:54,270 --> 00:24:56,630
Hi. Can I sit here for a minute?
Of course!
491
00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:58,830
Aw, bless you!
492
00:24:58,830 --> 00:25:02,870
Thank you so much... I've been
sat up there on my own for ages.
493
00:25:02,870 --> 00:25:04,710
I'm Jane, sorry. I'm Amber.
494
00:25:04,710 --> 00:25:07,750
Amber, nice to meet you.
Hi, I'm Michael. Michael...
495
00:25:07,750 --> 00:25:10,910
Chandler. Chandler!
Oh, I like that - Friends.
496
00:25:10,910 --> 00:25:14,030
I bet you got that all the time!
All the time, all the time!
497
00:25:14,030 --> 00:25:16,470
And I'm sorry about that.
LAUGHS: It's all good.
498
00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:19,830
So have you been here before?
Yeah. To this island? Yeah.
499
00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:22,870
Yeah, we used to live on this island
back when we were younger.
500
00:25:22,870 --> 00:25:25,670
Yes. Really? Mm-hm.
Yeah, far on the north side.
501
00:25:25,670 --> 00:25:28,270
Yeah! Yeah. We haven't been back
in a long time.
502
00:25:28,270 --> 00:25:31,750
Like, I was here nine years ago
last time, I think.
503
00:25:31,750 --> 00:25:34,430
Wow! Enjoying it so far?
ALL: Yeah.
504
00:25:34,430 --> 00:25:36,710
How about you? Yeah, I'm loving it!
505
00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:38,510
I thought I wanted a bit of
peace and quiet,
506
00:25:38,510 --> 00:25:42,270
but after so much peace and quiet,
I got really bored with myself.
507
00:25:42,270 --> 00:25:44,790
We're actually about to go
do the bikes over there,
508
00:25:44,790 --> 00:25:47,990
if you want to join us...? Really?
Mm-hm. Well, I'm up for it.
509
00:25:47,990 --> 00:25:51,590
Let's do it! Chandler, I'm up
for it. Come on. Let's do it!
510
00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:53,110
Coming up...
511
00:25:53,110 --> 00:25:55,310
THEY LAUGH
512
00:25:55,310 --> 00:25:57,990
..my Bahaman challenge
gets under way...
513
00:25:57,990 --> 00:25:59,830
I'm knackered already!
514
00:25:59,830 --> 00:26:03,870
..and as the Atlantic gives way
to the spectacular Caribbean,
515
00:26:03,870 --> 00:26:07,590
it's time to learn all about rhythm
and reggae.
516
00:26:07,590 --> 00:26:09,990
STEEL PANS PLAY
Can't remember it!
517
00:26:09,990 --> 00:26:12,840
Have to have a good memory for this!
518
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:26,080
Hello again. I'm on Day 2
of my tropical cruise of a lifetime.
519
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,160
We've stopped off in the Bahamas -
520
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,680
or the Bahamas island of Eleuthera,
to be exact -
521
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,000
where I'm enjoying some time
on the ship's private vessel.
522
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,440
Can we do girl-boy, girl-boy?
Because I want them to do the work!
523
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,720
Oh, yeah, absolutely!
524
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,600
Fellow cruisers
Amber, Michael and Chandler
525
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,440
actually used to live here, so when
it comes to riding aqua trikes,
526
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,920
their local knowledge
should come in handy.
527
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,560
Ooh, this is a bit snug!
528
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,120
Even that mightn't be enough
to help me, though.
529
00:26:56,120 --> 00:26:57,480
Ooh!
530
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,600
THEY LAUGH
531
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,320
OK! Oh, that's such a relaxing
sound, the little pitter-patter.
532
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,120
Isn't it? Yeah!
533
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:12,640
As you can see, I'm not as fast
as you!
534
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,440
I'm knackered already.
535
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,240
The aqua trikes work out
at around £20 an hour.
536
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,320
They work you out too.
537
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,880
God, this is hard work, Chandler!
I know.
538
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,080
Ooh! Slow down!
539
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,080
How come you're so fit?
LAUGHTER
540
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,080
They're trying to get jobs!
My little legs can barely...
541
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,600
I swear...
My legs have given up.
542
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,800
LAUGHTER
543
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,480
JANE LAUGHS
544
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,960
I'm, like, looking for fishies
down below me.
545
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,960
When we lived in the Bahamas...
Yeah.
546
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,760
..I've had a couple of, like, the
shark scares. Really? Oh, my gosh.
547
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,360
We were, like, out here
at a coral reef, me and this guy,
548
00:27:54,360 --> 00:27:57,080
just like snorkelling around...
Uh-huh. ..and all the sudden,
549
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,160
one, like, starts zigzagging towards
us, which mean it's about to attack.
550
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,120
GASPS: You must have been frightened
to death!
551
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:05,880
Oh, oh, yeah! Nearly pooped
my pants! I'll bet you did!
552
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,600
I think anybody would've done.
553
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,960
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for
a good holiday anecdote -
554
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,400
I'm just not sure I want to hear
about one about sharks right now!
555
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,720
It was a big bull shark...
556
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,120
Oh, God, there's more.
557
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:18,280
..and I looked forward,
558
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,840
and what I thought was two sharks
coming right towards me... Yeah.
559
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,200
..coming the other direction.
And I was like, "OK, I'm dead."
560
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,160
Like, "I'm done."
561
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,600
And they ended up being dolphins,
562
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,360
and they, like, blew bubbles
around it and, like, scared it off
563
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:33,400
and then, like, disappeared. It was
like guardian angels or something.
564
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,640
Yeah, you must've... Flipping heck!
Two dolphins saved your life.
565
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,240
I know. Literally.
566
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,880
That's amazing!
567
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,600
Did we go out past where
we're supposed to? I don't know!
568
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,960
Floating around this crystal-clear
blue water is incredible,
569
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,840
but an hour is long enough
to have something unfamiliar
570
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:51,960
between your legs.
571
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:55,880
Oh, my God!
572
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,320
That's my workout for the day.
And mine! I can't even walk!
573
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,520
HE LAUGHS
574
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,920
But, hey, we did it... We did.
..and that's all that matters.
575
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,600
Good job. Thank you!
576
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,120
Yeah. Yay!
577
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,520
I hardly did anything, to be honest.
578
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,400
I know! I couldn't do that either!
Your legs?
579
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,600
I couldn't walk when I got out!
580
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,200
I'm very impressed. You were off,
weren't you? You were off.
581
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,800
Yeah, yeah, it was all me.
582
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,800
THEY LAUGH
583
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,680
Thank you so much for allowing me
to gate-crash. Yeah, no!
584
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,040
But I'm absolutely exhausted.
THEY LAUGH
585
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,520
Thanks a lot! Bye!
586
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,640
Ooh!
587
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,080
God!
588
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,520
Blimey! It's a good job I had him.
589
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,560
My legs may feel like jelly,
590
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,480
but being on the water
is where I was born to be -
591
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,480
although there's nothing quite like
being in it, is there?
592
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,280
I don't feel as if I've been
on my holidays
593
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,520
until I've been in the sea, really.
594
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,840
And no matter how many pools
are on board,
595
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,960
it's just not the sea, is it?
So I'm going in.
596
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,680
Ooh! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
597
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,320
SHE LAUGHS
598
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,360
This may be the Atlantic,
but we are close to the Caribbean -
599
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,280
so once you're in,
it's like having a bath.
600
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:31,480
But wonderful as it is, there's
always the worry of getting out.
601
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,880
SHE LAUGHS
602
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,120
There's a lot of rocks here!
603
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,680
SHE LAUGHS
604
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:50,360
Well, Ursula Andress, I am not.
605
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,680
But I'm really glad
that I had a swim.
606
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,120
It feels so good.
607
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,960
And I'm in the Bahamas,
with the sun shining.
608
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,720
It's just amazing, isn't it?
609
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,760
It's Day 3 - and with a full
24 hours till our next stop,
610
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,720
I'm having a chill day.
611
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,800
That sore throat of mine's now
developing into a full-blown cold.
612
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,240
The ship's doctor tells me
I've got laryngitis to boot.
613
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,320
So I'm spoiling myself with a bit
of room service.
614
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,040
Ooh, look what I've got!
615
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,960
This is my favourite part
of cruising.
616
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,720
I love to just sit on the balcony
and watch the sea
617
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,080
and have a cup of coffee
and a chocolate.
618
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,080
Look at these!
They're all made on board.
619
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,280
You don't usually see chocolates
handmade like this on a ship,
620
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,000
so this is quite something.
621
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,040
Mm! Mm!
622
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:11,520
That's just really rich
home-made chocolate.
623
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,320
Indulgent? OK, I'll give you that.
Ain't half-comforting, though.
624
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,800
You think they're going to
be there later?
625
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,720
Nah.
626
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,800
Cos they're just saying,
aren't they, "Eat me"?
627
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,560
Not yet. I'm going to tease you.
628
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,240
Or they're going to tease me,
more like, aren't they?
629
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,120
As I'm a little under the weather,
I'm taking it easy this afternoon,
630
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,600
but there are lots of ways to
work off any excess chocolate weight
631
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:42,680
while on board.
632
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,160
There's a walking track, Zumba class
633
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,360
and, for the country and Western
fans out there, line dancing.
634
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,000
I do love a bit of do-si-doing!
635
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,560
You can book any of these
activities, either in person
636
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,560
or through the ship's
smartphone app.
637
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,480
I love anything that's in keeping
with the location,
638
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,680
and this cruise offers just that -
a steel drum lesson!
639
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,360
Sorry, just got a bit carried away!
640
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,680
It's a popular choice,
so I had to book two days ahead.
641
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,760
OK, this is going to be
a serious task this morning.
642
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,240
No, I'm joking.
We're here for fun.
643
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,760
My name is Trevor Cole.
644
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,000
I play the steel pan, which is
originated in Trinidad and Tobago,
645
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,280
started in the early 1940s.
646
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,200
A lot of people say steel drum,
647
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,800
but the guys that made it
prefer it to be called steel pan.
648
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,400
Do you know, early versions of
this instrument were actually
649
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,800
made out of car parts, paint pots
and even biscuit tins.
650
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,080
They still made some great tunes,
though!
651
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,960
Now, today, I want to teach you
a song done
652
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,280
by the one and only Bob Marley.
653
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,600
We're going to play One Love.
654
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,280
All right.
655
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,240
So we're going to play,
656
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,200
"One love, one heart.
657
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,520
"Let's get together
and feel all right."
658
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,520
Left hand on the B,
right hand on the D.
659
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,440
Give it one tap together.
660
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,920
Now go back to those same two notes
and give it a roll.
661
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,240
Right, like this.
662
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,320
OK. Never done this before!
663
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:19,560
All right, so it's tap, roll,
then you go up to A and C.
664
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,840
All right?
Relax, feel free.
665
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,440
STEEL PAN MUSIC
Can't remember it!
666
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,960
Have to have a good memory for this!
667
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,600
All right.
668
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,800
I know you got this.
One, two, three!
669
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,200
Tap, roll!
670
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,200
Tap, roll.
671
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,360
You see that?
672
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,080
All right!
673
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,720
OK. I'll say 90%, I'll say 90%.
674
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:50,120
The full 30-minute lesson
teaches you the whole song,
675
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,400
but I'll be happy enough
to learn the chorus -
676
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,160
and delighted if I can pick it up
like some of my cruise mates.
677
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,000
Got it, got it, got it!
How have you done that?!
678
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,360
You done this before? No!
Amazing! Never done it before.
679
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,600
You're really good at memory, yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
680
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:05,960
Yeah, you're remembering.
681
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,440
Oh, yeah! All right.
682
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,760
So let's do this together now. OK.
683
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,240
One, two, three!
684
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:23,440
# One love, one heart
685
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:29,000
# Let's get together and feel
686
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:36,840
# All right! #
687
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,200
Thank you very much, ladies and
gentlemen. We love you. Thank you.
688
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,320
MAN: Thank you!
APPLAUSE
689
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:49,760
Well done, girls! Great to meet you.
All the best! Bye!
690
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,160
That was really good fun.
I enjoyed it.
691
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,120
It's all about memories, not so much
musicality like a piano.
692
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,600
It's knowing where the...
Which bits go with it.
693
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:06,960
But I'm like...
I could join the band now! Not, not!
694
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,840
OK, that little
musical interlude over,
695
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,320
it's time to prepare
for our next stop.
696
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,360
Since leaving the Bahamas behind,
697
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:22,400
we've sailed another 845 miles east
to the island of St Thomas.
698
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,080
It may be located in
the American Virgin Islands,
699
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,760
but it's certainly not
my first time.
700
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,240
In fact, it was the setting of one
of my major life events.
701
00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:33,760
Can't wait to see how much
it's changed since then!
702
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,200
St Thomas!
703
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,480
Good morning! Good morning.
How are you?
704
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,560
Really well. How are you?
Enjoy your day! Yeah! Always.
705
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,920
CARIBBEAN MUSIC PLAYS
706
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,120
Can't help but dance, can you?
707
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,760
St Thomas is home to
the Virgin Islands' capital city,
708
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:13,000
Charlotte Amalie, as well as around
50,000 people.
709
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,760
It's safe enough for visitors today,
but back in the 18th century,
710
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,240
it was a hideout for the real
Pirates of the Caribbean.
711
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:22,760
I've got my own history
with this place.
712
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,040
So while it's tempting to go for
a dip in one of the stunning bays,
713
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,760
I'm choosing a walk down
memory lane.
714
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,440
It's a beautiful, beautiful place.
715
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,480
Last time I was here, I got married.
716
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,880
LAUGHS: I don't think
I'll be doing that this time!
717
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,200
It was a beautiful wedding.
A lot of you saw it on the telly.
718
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,560
Ah, St Thomas!
719
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,360
SHE LAUGHS
720
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:52,040
I've still got great memories of
being here with Henrik,
721
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,640
even though it didn't work out
and we got divorced.
722
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,080
It was a great time in my life.
723
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,720
And that feeling just comes back,
doesn't it?
724
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:01,720
It's great.
725
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:07,720
And there's more of my unexplored
delights of St Thomas on the way...
726
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,280
..including a breathtaking sunset
by cable car...
727
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:16,680
Gorgeous viewpoint! It's well worth
going up for this.
728
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,760
..and although my voice worsens...
729
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:24,040
SCRATCHILY: I didn't realise
just how much I talk...until now.
730
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,680
..it's not enough to stop
my enjoyment of Sint Maarten.
731
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,720
We're going to burn them.
We're a top team!
732
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,720
It's Day 4 of my Caribbean
cruising adventure,
733
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:44,880
and I'm in St Thomas in
the American Virgin Islands -
734
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,920
once my home from home.
735
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,120
Last time, I was in a wedding dress.
736
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,600
But this time, I've gone for
something light and airy
737
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,400
that's suited to this warm
February weather.
738
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,880
I used to come here every two weeks
for about ten months.
739
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:03,560
I got kept on the ship
for three contracts,
740
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,600
and this bit looks like
exactly the same.
741
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,440
But has it changed from above?
742
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,280
I'm about to find out, as our ship
doesn't sail to late -
743
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,080
10pm, in fact - so the cruise
company is treating me
744
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,160
and my fellow passengers to a party
while we wait,
745
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,640
a sunset party 700 feet
above sea level!
746
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,160
Thank you very much.
747
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:30,360
Woohoo!
748
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,760
And now I've got my ticket,
749
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,160
it's just an eight-minute ride
up on the cable car -
750
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,040
easily enough time
to make some new friends.
751
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,280
Hi, I'm Jane. Fay. Fay. Nice to
meet you. Nice to meet you too.
752
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:43,680
Have you ever been here before?
753
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,960
Yeah, but never been this late.
754
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,480
No, me neither.
755
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,720
I've been here loads of times.
Never been able to see the sunset.
756
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:53,840
Yeah. We normally
will depart earlier.
757
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,360
Yeah. This time, it's to 9pm.
That's true.
758
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,600
Eight per cabin, don't worry.
759
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:09,040
Fabulous.
760
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,120
Oh, that's great.
761
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,920
Where are you from? Virginia.
Oh, lovely.
762
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,280
Have you done this before?
763
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,080
No. We've been to St Thomas
several times, I think.
764
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,160
I don't knew how many. Lost count.
765
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,960
No, we've never been here
this late ever.
766
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,080
Look at that. Oh, my goodness.
767
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,280
There's the boat.
768
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,960
Everything is straight downstairs.
769
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,320
They call this place Paradise Point.
No prizes for guessing why.
770
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,800
Look at that. That's amazing.
771
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:53,120
Gorgeous viewpoint here. It's well
worth coming up here for this.
772
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,480
I could stand there for hours
just looking out.
773
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,600
Beautiful, beautiful!
774
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,480
But now it's party time!
775
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,200
This area is reserved exclusively
for us cruise passengers
776
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,520
and offers everyone
a free welcome tipple.
777
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,480
So I've bagged a table with
my newly-made mates
778
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:19,040
and I'm ready to soothe my sore
throat with something medicinal.
779
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,160
What's your best rum cocktail?
Our rum punch.
780
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,480
We mix the different flavours of rum
with fruit punch.
781
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,320
Put me down for one of those. OK.
782
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,880
Have you ever heard about our
Bushwacker? It was invented here.
783
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,600
It was invented here. Fantastic.
784
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,960
We use dark rum, Coco Lopez,
Frangelico,
785
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:40,160
Amaretto, Baileys,
of course, vodka,
786
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:44,200
Kahlua, coffee liqueur,
787
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,160
chocolate liqueur.
788
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,560
Put him down for the Bushwacker.
You're going to be relaxed
after this.
789
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,360
We do have wheelbarrows and stands
if you need to go back down
the hill. Thank you.
790
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,160
LAUGHTER
791
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,320
I'll have a Bushwacker also.
That's two...
792
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,560
Can you just bring me
a little taste of that?
793
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,840
Of course. I'm loving your work.
794
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,040
Loving your work.
795
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,560
This was the best table
to get on for me.
796
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,720
The view from up here is sensational
797
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:21,120
and gets better with
every passing minute.
798
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:25,440
It's taken me over 20 years to see
it, and as I watch the sun go down,
799
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,960
you can bet me cocktail
will be going the same way.
800
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,880
Oh, that looks good.
801
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,720
Cheers, everyone.
802
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:34,200
Lovely to meet you!
803
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:46,040
Oh-ho-ho...! Good?
That's a two thumbs up.
804
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,840
That's really good.
805
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,360
Thank you so much.
806
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,880
Right, so this is the Bushwhacker.
807
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,440
Mm!
808
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,040
Oh, that's... That's fantastic.
809
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,640
This is really good, isn't it?
810
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,360
It'll cure whatever ails you.
811
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,160
You know what?
I'm glad you've said that.
812
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,080
I don't drink that much anyway...
813
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,960
..but I just think having a good
drink will get rid of anything.
814
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,200
Don't you think?
815
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,320
So I'm going to finish this.
816
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:26,360
Well, that's my story
and I'm sticking to it.
817
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:30,440
Meanwhile, it's time to say
goodnight and goodbye to a place
818
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,040
that'll always have a special place
in my heart.
819
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,640
Right, we're spending the night
steaming 120 miles east.
820
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,480
Our destination - Sint Maarten,
the final stop on this first leg
821
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,080
of the cruise.
822
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,560
I've got a busy day ahead
and could do with feeling
823
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:50,800
in good shape.
824
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,440
Sadly, the medicinal cocktail
didn't do its job.
825
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,680
WHISPERING: I've lost my voice.
826
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,640
Never in my life
have I lost my voice.
827
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,800
I feel all right,
I've just got no voice.
828
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,480
I didn't realise
just how much I talk...
829
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:07,880
..until now.
830
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:12,480
Right. Come on.
831
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:15,200
Let's go.
832
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,520
Measuring just 14 square miles,
833
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,520
Sint Maarten's about half the size
of Blackpool.
834
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:28,640
No donkey rides or candyfloss,
but there are 37 stretches of sand.
835
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,960
And if the beauty of Maho Beach
doesn't blow you away,
836
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,400
the jumbo jets coming into land
might just do the trick.
837
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,520
WIND BLOWS HARD
838
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,280
Sailing is the main attraction here,
though,
839
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:46,520
being home to the sport's most
thrilling race, the America's Cup.
840
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,560
These waters have seen a whole
host of yachts go head-to-head
841
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:54,960
since 1851 - perhaps most famously,
the Stars and Stripes, which helped
842
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,840
sailor Dennis Conner win this race
three times in the '80s.
843
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,360
I've decided to take a walk
in his deck shoes and book myself
844
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,600
on a unique racing experience
with some of my fellow passengers.
845
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,240
They're probably sick of
hearing me talking by now.
846
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:11,800
So for them, today's a good day.
847
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:20,800
No, but I sail.
I do a lot of racing. Oh, wow.
848
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,800
That one's lovely. That's brilliant.
849
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:26,760
I'm sticking with you.
850
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,680
HE CHUCKLES
I'm with him.
851
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,440
Hey, guys, good morning!
My name's David!
852
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,800
We need to break you guys
down into teams.
853
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,080
So, let's see here.
854
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,840
Ma'am, what is your name?
855
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,000
Teri. Teri.
856
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,480
And back there in the blue,
what's your name?
857
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,520
Jane. Excellent.
Come this way, Teri.
858
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,960
I'm staying with him!
Come this way, Jane.
859
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,560
Ladies, will you please shake hands?
860
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,000
You're now sworn enemies!
861
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,720
You're our team captains!
862
00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:56,520
CHEERING
863
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,400
Teri, is there anybody
here with you today?
864
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,200
Yes. Are they sailing
with you today?
865
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,480
Yes. Then have them come over
and join you.
866
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,040
If you're here with Teri,
please make a straight line
867
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,520
behind your team captain.
868
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,040
Jane, do you have anybody
here with you today?
869
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,560
That man there.
He's sailing with you today? He is.
870
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,960
Have him come over. Straight line
behind your team captain.
871
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,000
You want big guys.
Big guys, you want.
872
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,680
OK, after getting our teams
together,
873
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,760
we now get assigned our boats.
874
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,040
The name of mine -
the Stars and Stripes.
875
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,520
I need to assign everybody
a crew position.
876
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,000
Going to be active today?
877
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:39,240
Oh, yeah. Excellent. You're going to
be a main grinder.
878
00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:40,760
Grindr?
879
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,640
Ain't that like...Tinder?
880
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,000
Sort of.
881
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,280
Heard you might be
the timekeeper today, Jane.
882
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,560
Timekeeper. Excellent.
883
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,320
Please protect this.
884
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:51,960
It's my favourite one. OK.
885
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,520
All right.
886
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,680
Guys, please remember the jobs
that I assigned you.
887
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,520
We're going to get on the tender
and head out to the yacht.
888
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,760
So just to recap, I'm the captain
and the timekeeper.
889
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,560
I must look like I know
what I'm doing, at least.
890
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,520
Last but not least, Captain Jane,
891
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:18,720
head on up - timekeeper, bartender,
tactician, moral support.
892
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:20,480
She's in charge, really.
893
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,000
Hold on.
894
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,400
Or maybe not.
895
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,720
If I go overboard...
896
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:29,720
..I can't scream.
897
00:47:31,240 --> 00:47:34,360
There's every chance that could
happen and all. Because most of us
898
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,440
on this boat haven't sailed before,
a crash course from the crew
899
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:38,800
was very much needed.
900
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,320
Left hand right here.
901
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,920
Very important job.
902
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,560
OK, timekeeper. Every 30 seconds,
they yell to the captain,
903
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,120
"30, 1:00, 1:30..."
904
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,800
I've got no voice.
905
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:53,800
Oh, you got no voice?
906
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:58,760
Sir, do you want to be the
timekeeper? She has no voice. Sure.
907
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,200
Oh, well, at least
I'm still captain.
908
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,840
We're going to burn them.
We're a top team!
909
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,280
CHEERING
910
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,360
Do you know, I feel quite honoured
to be leading this crew today.
911
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:31,880
What's your name?
912
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:37,680
I can't believe this.
913
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,680
I've gone from Captain Pugwash
to, well, washed up.
914
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:45,360
Coming up...
915
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,840
Hold on! Hold on!
Hold on to the blue line!
916
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,200
..the thrilling climax of
my adrenaline-fuelled
917
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:51,840
sailing race.
918
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,880
SCREAMING
919
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,320
Now we're racing!
920
00:49:07,290 --> 00:49:10,730
OK, I'm in the Caribbean island
of Sint Maarten,
921
00:49:10,730 --> 00:49:15,210
the final stop on the first leg
of my latest tropical cruise.
922
00:49:15,210 --> 00:49:19,250
Today, I'm in a sailing yacht, just
about to take part in one of those
923
00:49:19,250 --> 00:49:21,930
once-in-a-lifetime opportunities -
924
00:49:21,930 --> 00:49:24,770
a race with some of
my fellow passengers.
925
00:49:24,770 --> 00:49:27,730
Now, does anyone feel afraid?
926
00:49:27,730 --> 00:49:30,410
Yeah. Of losing.
927
00:49:31,490 --> 00:49:34,650
Now, I've never sailed like this
before, but I'll try my best
928
00:49:34,650 --> 00:49:37,010
to explain how the race works.
929
00:49:37,010 --> 00:49:40,050
Both yachts will get themselves
into the starting position
930
00:49:40,050 --> 00:49:42,570
between these two little
floaty things.
931
00:49:42,570 --> 00:49:46,530
Then they'll travel around these
two floaty things five times.
932
00:49:46,530 --> 00:49:47,690
On the final lap,
933
00:49:47,690 --> 00:49:51,690
a little boat will position itself
to form an invisible finish line
934
00:49:51,690 --> 00:49:55,090
with this little floaty thing,
and the winner will see a man
935
00:49:55,090 --> 00:49:56,930
holding up a blue flag.
936
00:49:56,930 --> 00:49:59,130
Oh, and if you hear
the word "tacking",
937
00:49:59,130 --> 00:50:02,330
it basically means we need to change
the sail's position
938
00:50:02,330 --> 00:50:05,810
to catch the wind
and make us go faster.
939
00:50:05,810 --> 00:50:09,530
Now, I've got no voice,
I've lost my position as timekeeper,
940
00:50:09,530 --> 00:50:13,370
and now I've handed over the role
of captain to my shipmate Ashley.
941
00:50:13,370 --> 00:50:15,930
I do make a fine mascot, though.
942
00:50:15,930 --> 00:50:17,650
What colour flag
are we going to see?
943
00:50:17,650 --> 00:50:18,810
ALL: Blue!
944
00:50:18,810 --> 00:50:21,570
Are you guys going to win? Yeah!
There we go!
945
00:50:21,570 --> 00:50:23,810
Don't like the look
of those clouds above us -
946
00:50:23,810 --> 00:50:27,250
cos when it rains in the Caribbean,
you know about it.
947
00:50:27,250 --> 00:50:28,610
Anyway, here we go.
948
00:50:31,490 --> 00:50:33,290
Tacking!
949
00:50:39,970 --> 00:50:41,250
Now we're racing!
950
00:50:45,170 --> 00:50:48,890
Blimey! So much for the supposed
luxury yacht life.
951
00:50:48,890 --> 00:50:51,930
Feels like I'm on a spin cycle.
952
00:50:51,930 --> 00:50:55,610
Ease, Sandy. Sandy, ease!
953
00:50:58,650 --> 00:51:01,610
At least Ashley seems to be
enjoying himself,
954
00:51:01,610 --> 00:51:05,410
and it looks like the storm
may be easing off.
955
00:51:05,410 --> 00:51:09,290
No, relaxing for us, though,
as we're still in second place.
956
00:51:11,130 --> 00:51:12,650
They tack, we tack.
957
00:51:18,530 --> 00:51:20,930
Nice job, guys!
958
00:51:20,930 --> 00:51:24,530
Against all odds, it actually
looks like we're catching them up.
959
00:51:24,530 --> 00:51:27,250
If this holds out,
we're looking pretty.
960
00:51:28,450 --> 00:51:31,210
Get ready to ease for me, Sandy!
961
00:51:36,130 --> 00:51:38,370
All right, guys. That's it.
We are in the lead.
962
00:51:38,370 --> 00:51:39,810
Well done, everybody!
963
00:51:39,810 --> 00:51:41,730
CLAPPING
964
00:51:46,930 --> 00:51:49,650
I knew making Ash the captain
was a good idea.
965
00:51:49,650 --> 00:51:51,850
The team can thank me later.
966
00:51:51,850 --> 00:51:55,450
All right, we're coming up to
our gate one last time.
967
00:51:58,730 --> 00:52:00,490
And tacking!
968
00:52:02,850 --> 00:52:04,370
Wrong direction!
969
00:52:06,530 --> 00:52:08,530
This is getting really intense now.
970
00:52:10,250 --> 00:52:14,130
I feel like one wrong move
and we're all going overboard.
971
00:52:14,130 --> 00:52:16,170
The boat's like this.
972
00:52:16,170 --> 00:52:17,210
I'm stood up.
973
00:52:19,930 --> 00:52:21,770
Come on. They're behind us.
974
00:52:23,890 --> 00:52:28,210
We're almost there. One more turn
and we're on the home straight.
975
00:52:28,210 --> 00:52:33,370
And tacking! Release!
976
00:52:37,490 --> 00:52:41,730
One boat length. Half a boat length.
977
00:52:45,570 --> 00:52:48,330
Well done, guys!
978
00:52:50,090 --> 00:52:52,090
Nice job. That's well done.
979
00:52:52,090 --> 00:52:53,090
Nicely done.
980
00:52:55,370 --> 00:52:57,770
Must have been the lucky mascot!
981
00:53:00,690 --> 00:53:05,170
Oh, my God. What just happened?
982
00:53:05,170 --> 00:53:08,970
That was... That was proper sailing.
983
00:53:08,970 --> 00:53:11,850
You've got to be physical
to do it, though.
984
00:53:11,850 --> 00:53:14,850
That was exhilarating.
985
00:53:14,850 --> 00:53:17,050
At least me hair's all right.
986
00:53:19,490 --> 00:53:21,530
What would we have done
without you?
987
00:53:21,530 --> 00:53:23,730
It was a team effort.
You were amazing.
988
00:53:23,730 --> 00:53:27,170
Thank God you were on my team.
HE LAUGHS
989
00:53:28,730 --> 00:53:31,330
Well, what a fabulous way
to end the first half
990
00:53:31,330 --> 00:53:35,210
of my Caribbean cruise. I do need to
catch my breath, though,
991
00:53:35,210 --> 00:53:38,450
as there's ten days still to go.
992
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:41,650
Next time, I'll be saddling up
in Grand Cayman...
993
00:53:41,650 --> 00:53:43,210
Mine's off for a gallop.
994
00:53:43,210 --> 00:53:46,050
..discovering the wonders of
the deep in real-time...
995
00:53:46,050 --> 00:53:49,410
Great to see so much life
under the sea.
996
00:53:49,410 --> 00:53:51,970
..and partying the night away
in Cozumel.
997
00:53:51,970 --> 00:53:53,010
Woo!
998
00:54:05,930 --> 00:54:10,570
# The heat is on,
on the street
999
00:54:12,450 --> 00:54:17,490
# Inside your head,
on every beat
1000
00:54:18,570 --> 00:54:23,810
# And the beat's so live
deep inside
1001
00:54:25,210 --> 00:54:31,090
# The pressure's high,
just to stay alive
1002
00:54:31,090 --> 00:54:34,170
# Cos the heat is on
1003
00:54:35,570 --> 00:54:36,690
MOUTHS: Who's that?
1004
00:54:38,890 --> 00:54:42,130
# Oh-woo-oh-ho,
oh-woo-oh-ho
1005
00:54:42,130 --> 00:54:45,250
# Caught up in the action
I've been looking out for you
1006
00:54:45,250 --> 00:54:48,370
# Oh-woo-oh-ho,
oh-woo-oh-ho
1007
00:54:48,370 --> 00:54:51,570
# Tell me, can you feel it?
Tell me, can you feel it?
1008
00:54:51,570 --> 00:54:53,970
# Tell me, can you feel it?
1009
00:54:53,970 --> 00:55:00,210
# The heat is on,
the heat is on
1010
00:55:00,210 --> 00:55:02,770
# The heat is on
1011
00:55:02,770 --> 00:55:06,770
# It's on the street
1012
00:55:06,770 --> 00:55:12,010
# The heat is on
1013
00:55:15,890 --> 00:55:18,930
# Oh-woo-oh-ho,
oh-woo-oh-ho
1014
00:55:18,930 --> 00:55:22,250
# Caught up in the action
I've been looking out for you
1015
00:55:22,250 --> 00:55:25,330
# Oh-woo-oh-ho,
oh-woo-oh-ho
1016
00:55:25,330 --> 00:55:28,370
# Tell me, can you feel it?
Tell me, can you feel it?
1017
00:55:28,370 --> 00:55:30,850
# Tell me, can you feel it?
1018
00:55:30,850 --> 00:55:40,250
# The heat is on
1019
00:55:40,250 --> 00:55:43,730
# It's on the street
1020
00:55:43,730 --> 00:55:47,610
# The heat is on! #
1021
00:56:22,900 --> 00:56:26,600
I'm Jane MacDonald,
and cruising is my life.
1022
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,900
We're gonna have a fab time,
aren't we?!
1023
00:56:29,900 --> 00:56:32,200
I started on the ships
working as a singer,
1024
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,400
but now I'm enjoying every moment
as a passenger.
1025
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,140
You have to stack it on top! Yay!
1026
00:56:40,340 --> 00:56:43,340
One in eight of all holidays taken
by us Brits is aboard a cruise ship,
1027
00:56:43,340 --> 00:56:45,500
and there's something for everyone.
1028
00:56:45,500 --> 00:56:46,580
I'm dancing!
1029
00:56:46,580 --> 00:56:48,380
From once-in-a-lifetime
adventures...
1030
00:56:48,380 --> 00:56:51,980
Fab-u-lous! Woohoo!
1031
00:56:51,980 --> 00:56:54,660
..to sights that completely
take your breath away.
1032
00:56:54,660 --> 00:56:58,900
I didn't think a building could
make your heart feel like this.
1033
00:56:58,900 --> 00:57:02,860
So if you want to see the best
the world has to offer...
1034
00:57:02,860 --> 00:57:06,460
Oh, my God, look at this!
Look at this!
1035
00:57:06,460 --> 00:57:08,740
..hop on board with me.
1036
00:57:10,260 --> 00:57:14,500
This time, week two of
my fabulous Caribbean cruise.
1037
00:57:14,500 --> 00:57:16,900
I'll be saddling up in
Grand Cayman...
1038
00:57:16,900 --> 00:57:19,500
SHE LAUGHS
1039
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:21,700
Mine's off for a gallop!
1040
00:57:21,700 --> 00:57:24,940
..discovering the wonders of
the deep in Roatan...
1041
00:57:24,940 --> 00:57:29,180
Great to see that there's
so much life just under the sea.
1042
00:57:31,660 --> 00:57:34,300
..scaling new heights in
ancient Belize...
1043
00:57:35,940 --> 00:57:39,420
From on top, you get
the wonderful views of the jungle.
1044
00:57:39,420 --> 00:57:43,620
..and partying the night away
in Cozumel.
1045
00:57:45,100 --> 00:57:47,780
There's so much Caribbean fun
still to come.
1046
00:58:02,700 --> 00:58:04,100
We are sailing.
1047
00:58:04,100 --> 00:58:05,540
Come on, the Caribbean!
1048
00:58:09,220 --> 00:58:11,300
SHE SQUEALS
1049
00:58:11,300 --> 00:58:13,740
Do you know, if you'd told me
how much we'd pack in
1050
00:58:13,740 --> 00:58:17,660
on week one of this cruise,
I wouldn't have believed you.
1051
00:58:17,660 --> 00:58:19,580
From Everglades wildlife spotting...
1052
00:58:19,580 --> 00:58:21,780
Alligator, alligator,
right in front of us!
1053
00:58:21,780 --> 00:58:24,580
Oh, my God,
he's coming to say hello!
1054
00:58:26,140 --> 00:58:27,980
..to Bahaman swimming...
1055
00:58:33,420 --> 00:58:35,820
..and Caribbean yachting.
1056
00:58:35,820 --> 00:58:39,260
Tack, go, go, go, go!
1057
00:58:40,300 --> 00:58:42,780
Now we're racing!
1058
00:58:42,780 --> 00:58:46,180
It feels like I've done it all.
1059
00:58:46,180 --> 00:58:48,780
Now my ultramodern ship,
the Sky Princess,
1060
00:58:48,780 --> 00:58:50,620
is back in Fort Lauderdale,
1061
00:58:50,620 --> 00:58:53,220
and while I've said goodbye
to some cruise-mates,
1062
00:58:53,220 --> 00:58:56,180
there's a whole new bunch
joining for week two.
1063
00:58:56,180 --> 00:58:58,900
We're a full day away
from our next port,
1064
00:58:58,900 --> 00:59:01,060
so there's plenty of time
to meet them.
1065
00:59:01,060 --> 00:59:03,300
Did someone say party?
1066
00:59:04,420 --> 00:59:09,820
Welcome to the official kick-off
on the beautiful Sky Princess!
1067
00:59:11,260 --> 00:59:13,220
Outstanding!
1068
00:59:15,220 --> 00:59:18,980
Please make some noise
for our captain, Michele Tuvo...
1069
00:59:20,900 --> 00:59:23,740
Welcome aboard my glorious
Sky Princess!
1070
00:59:23,740 --> 00:59:28,860
This is already my second week, and
it feels like it's just beginning.
1071
00:59:28,860 --> 00:59:31,740
It's a whole different...
feel this week,
1072
00:59:31,740 --> 00:59:33,300
cos it's different people.
1073
00:59:33,300 --> 00:59:35,300
I think it's lovely, this bit.
1074
00:59:35,300 --> 00:59:38,100
..All the way from Italy!
1075
00:59:38,100 --> 00:59:41,380
Even lovelier
now I get to meet the captain.
1076
00:59:41,380 --> 00:59:43,700
I feel very special!
1077
00:59:43,700 --> 00:59:45,140
Michele Tuvo is his name,
1078
00:59:45,140 --> 00:59:47,580
and he's married - unfortunately.
1079
00:59:47,580 --> 00:59:49,140
What a pleasure to meet you.
1080
00:59:49,140 --> 00:59:50,940
So what are you going to do
this cruise?
1081
00:59:50,940 --> 00:59:52,340
All sorts of things.
1082
00:59:52,340 --> 00:59:54,860
Grand Cayman? I'm going
horse riding on the beach.
1083
00:59:54,860 --> 00:59:58,180
Roatan? I'm going
in a little submarine there.
1084
00:59:58,180 --> 01:00:00,020
In Belize,
I'm going to see the ruins.
1085
01:00:00,020 --> 01:00:02,900
Oh, beautiful, beautiful, Cozumel?
Cozumel.
1086
01:00:02,900 --> 01:00:05,940
I'm doing the carnival, of course.
Wow...!
1087
01:00:05,940 --> 01:00:07,900
Yeah, so we've got
a very packed cruise.
1088
01:00:07,900 --> 01:00:11,740
Gee, you're very busy. Yeah, but
we're loving it on here, Captain.
1089
01:00:11,740 --> 01:00:15,260
Oh, I'm glad, I'm glad. So thank you
for being so lovely to us.
1090
01:00:24,380 --> 01:00:27,300
With 19 decks and over 800 cabins,
1091
01:00:27,300 --> 01:00:29,940
the ship's a giant of the seas.
1092
01:00:29,940 --> 01:00:33,060
Once, finding your new cruise-mates
on a vessel this size
1093
01:00:33,060 --> 01:00:34,820
would be nigh-on impossible.
1094
01:00:34,820 --> 01:00:38,620
But, as they say now,
there's an app for that.
1095
01:00:38,620 --> 01:00:41,460
Right, I've met someone
called Brenda,
1096
01:00:41,460 --> 01:00:45,900
and she's a...
a nice little friend I've met,
1097
01:00:45,900 --> 01:00:48,260
and I'm going to
try and find her now.
1098
01:00:49,980 --> 01:00:51,540
And it says on my app...
1099
01:00:52,620 --> 01:00:54,580
..that she's on promenade
deck seven.
1100
01:00:56,340 --> 01:00:59,580
So get me there, locate me...
1101
01:01:03,380 --> 01:01:04,980
Let's see if this works.
1102
01:01:04,980 --> 01:01:07,460
Finding your friends
is just one thing the app can do.
1103
01:01:07,460 --> 01:01:10,060
One click,
and you can order room service,
1104
01:01:10,060 --> 01:01:13,260
book excursions,
and see the day's itinerary.
1105
01:01:13,260 --> 01:01:15,500
Ah, there it is, deck seven.
1106
01:01:15,500 --> 01:01:16,620
Entertainment.
1107
01:01:16,620 --> 01:01:18,260
Modern tech may be great,
1108
01:01:18,260 --> 01:01:21,660
but there are some things
only experience can teach you.
1109
01:01:21,660 --> 01:01:26,020
When you're on a big ship
with 3,600 passengers on,
1110
01:01:26,020 --> 01:01:27,660
and you're at sea,
1111
01:01:27,660 --> 01:01:30,380
everybody is using the elevators.
1112
01:01:30,380 --> 01:01:32,220
So give yourself plenty of time
1113
01:01:32,220 --> 01:01:33,620
to get to where you need to be.
1114
01:01:35,580 --> 01:01:37,180
Right.
1115
01:01:38,500 --> 01:01:41,340
The promenade deck runs
the full length of the ship.
1116
01:01:41,340 --> 01:01:44,100
It's as long as
the Eiffel Tower is high.
1117
01:01:44,100 --> 01:01:47,740
Well, I could do with some exercise.
1118
01:01:47,740 --> 01:01:50,140
So it sort of tracks you
1119
01:01:50,140 --> 01:01:53,020
walking towards...them,
1120
01:01:53,020 --> 01:01:55,100
which is a good idea, really.
1121
01:01:55,100 --> 01:01:57,980
And don't worry,
because if you make a friend
1122
01:01:57,980 --> 01:02:01,060
and then you fall out,
you can block 'em.
1123
01:02:01,060 --> 01:02:03,900
So don't think you're going
to be stalked!
1124
01:02:03,900 --> 01:02:06,660
But it's nice to know
where people are, isn't it?
1125
01:02:06,660 --> 01:02:09,700
Cos you'd spend half your life
just looking for folk.
1126
01:02:09,700 --> 01:02:12,220
And there's plenty of places
to lose them -
1127
01:02:12,220 --> 01:02:15,900
a 970-seat theatre,
a cinema, casino,
1128
01:02:15,900 --> 01:02:18,940
and a huge central piazza...
Oh, look!
1129
01:02:18,940 --> 01:02:21,100
..where you'll find
the duty-free shops,
1130
01:02:21,100 --> 01:02:23,300
some of the 16 onboard restaurants,
1131
01:02:23,300 --> 01:02:25,940
and loads of activities
to entertain you while sailing.
1132
01:02:25,940 --> 01:02:27,740
The line dancing.
1133
01:02:27,740 --> 01:02:29,900
Might do a bit of that later
with Brenda.
1134
01:02:29,900 --> 01:02:31,140
Talking of whom...
1135
01:02:31,140 --> 01:02:33,060
Where's show gone now?
1136
01:02:33,060 --> 01:02:36,420
Now, it says here
that she's moved up to deck 16.
1137
01:02:36,420 --> 01:02:39,220
Cos I know she wanted
to go see the ice carving.
1138
01:02:39,220 --> 01:02:41,940
It's either that
or she's tracking me tracking her
1139
01:02:41,940 --> 01:02:44,380
and actually doesn't want to see me.
1140
01:02:44,380 --> 01:02:46,860
SHE LAUGHS
It's probably that, innit?!
1141
01:02:46,860 --> 01:02:48,340
Moving down here...
1142
01:02:50,820 --> 01:02:53,100
It's a very busy ship!
1143
01:02:54,740 --> 01:02:58,140
Probably people like me
looking everywhere for friends.
1144
01:02:58,140 --> 01:02:59,340
Hi! Hi.
1145
01:02:59,340 --> 01:03:00,980
Ooh, the spa!
1146
01:03:00,980 --> 01:03:02,940
Must keep a note where that is.
1147
01:03:02,940 --> 01:03:06,420
So I know there was
an ice carving out here.
1148
01:03:06,420 --> 01:03:07,940
So she might be at that.
1149
01:03:09,260 --> 01:03:11,940
Give them a big round of applause
1150
01:03:11,940 --> 01:03:14,220
for creating a hole in an ice block.
Whoo!
1151
01:03:14,220 --> 01:03:16,260
This is the main pool,
1152
01:03:16,260 --> 01:03:18,140
and it's always busy,
1153
01:03:18,140 --> 01:03:21,100
but there's two others
if you want to avoid the crowds.
1154
01:03:21,100 --> 01:03:24,660
Right, I've found her.
She should be on this staircase.
1155
01:03:25,900 --> 01:03:27,740
Let's have a look.
1156
01:03:27,740 --> 01:03:28,740
Ah-ha!
1157
01:03:30,180 --> 01:03:33,220
At last, I've found you! Oh, hello!
1158
01:03:33,220 --> 01:03:35,620
Hello, love. I thought
you were trying to escape me.
1159
01:03:35,620 --> 01:03:38,620
No, no, I'm just watching
this man carving the ice.
1160
01:03:38,620 --> 01:03:41,340
Oh, how's it going?
I don't what it is yet.
1161
01:03:41,340 --> 01:03:43,660
But they're always good to see,
aren't they?
1162
01:03:43,660 --> 01:03:45,660
Oh, they're excellent,
very clever.
1163
01:03:45,660 --> 01:03:48,620
I'd have probably chopped
my foot off by now. Oh, I know.
1164
01:03:48,620 --> 01:03:50,180
Today's a sea day,
1165
01:03:50,180 --> 01:03:53,980
and as the ship always puts on
fab activities between ports,
1166
01:03:53,980 --> 01:03:56,300
they're the perfect places
to meet up with friends.
1167
01:03:56,300 --> 01:03:59,460
Me and Brenda met last week
in the ship's salon,
1168
01:03:59,460 --> 01:04:02,140
and as it turns out, she loves
a pamper even more than me.
1169
01:04:02,140 --> 01:04:04,460
So I've been trying
to track you all morning.
1170
01:04:04,460 --> 01:04:06,660
Have you?
Oh, I've been in the retreat.
1171
01:04:06,660 --> 01:04:09,140
So you've been for your nails doing?
Yeah, look.
1172
01:04:09,140 --> 01:04:13,540
Oh, look at them. Tutti Frutti.
Very nice. Very nice.
1173
01:04:13,540 --> 01:04:15,900
I don't know about you, Brenda,
but I'm parched.
1174
01:04:15,900 --> 01:04:18,980
After seeing all that ice carving,
I could do with a drink.
1175
01:04:18,980 --> 01:04:21,660
Maybe one in a cocktail -
some ice in a cocktail.
1176
01:04:21,660 --> 01:04:23,900
Oh, sounds like a plan.
All right, shall we go?
1177
01:04:23,900 --> 01:04:26,580
Get some of his ice, come on, then.
Come on, then, love.
1178
01:04:26,580 --> 01:04:28,220
And with sevens bars aboard,
1179
01:04:28,220 --> 01:04:31,460
we both have plenty choice
for a tipple.
1180
01:04:31,460 --> 01:04:33,460
Time really does fly on this cruise.
1181
01:04:33,460 --> 01:04:35,460
Before you know,
we're starting day ten
1182
01:04:35,460 --> 01:04:37,940
and arriving
at our next port of call.
1183
01:04:37,940 --> 01:04:40,140
Right, we're off.
OK, ma'am, watch your step, please.
1184
01:04:40,140 --> 01:04:41,740
OK! Have a nice day.
1185
01:04:41,740 --> 01:04:44,260
Thank you... Morning!
1186
01:04:46,100 --> 01:04:49,340
We've sailed over 500 miles
from Florida,
1187
01:04:49,340 --> 01:04:51,100
and after a whole day at sea,
1188
01:04:51,100 --> 01:04:54,020
it's great to get off the ship
and go exploring again
1189
01:04:54,020 --> 01:04:56,500
CROAKY: We're at the beautiful place
of Grand Cayman.
1190
01:04:56,500 --> 01:04:58,460
And we're on a tender right now,
1191
01:04:58,460 --> 01:05:01,580
because our ship is too big
to get in to dock.
1192
01:05:01,580 --> 01:05:03,620
I had a rotten cold last week,
1193
01:05:03,620 --> 01:05:05,820
but I'm on the mend now,
thanks for asking.
1194
01:05:05,820 --> 01:05:09,020
So a day on the beach
should blow the cobwebs away.
1195
01:05:09,020 --> 01:05:10,260
It's lovely here.
1196
01:05:10,260 --> 01:05:14,500
It's one of the nicest islands
I remember being in the Caribbean.
1197
01:05:14,500 --> 01:05:16,180
It's just beautiful.
1198
01:05:16,180 --> 01:05:18,220
And I haven't seen it
for a long time,
1199
01:05:18,220 --> 01:05:21,380
so, uh...it'll be nice to
revisit again.
1200
01:05:21,380 --> 01:05:23,820
Morning. Morning. Have a nice day.
1201
01:05:28,460 --> 01:05:30,860
Grand Cayman's
the largest of the islands,
1202
01:05:30,860 --> 01:05:34,020
and its capital, George Town,
boasts duty-free shopping,
1203
01:05:34,020 --> 01:05:36,940
sandy beaches
and beautiful wildlife.
1204
01:05:36,940 --> 01:05:39,100
Oh, and billionaires.
1205
01:05:39,100 --> 01:05:40,940
Cayman is well known...
1206
01:05:40,940 --> 01:05:42,220
..for money.
1207
01:05:43,700 --> 01:05:46,380
It's got helicopter pads here.
1208
01:05:46,380 --> 01:05:50,660
It's got yachts in the harbour,
amazing hotels.
1209
01:05:50,660 --> 01:05:54,300
And it's ultra, ultra clean.
1210
01:05:54,300 --> 01:05:55,580
Everywhere you look,
1211
01:05:55,580 --> 01:05:57,860
it looks like it's just been
'oovered up this morning.
1212
01:06:00,140 --> 01:06:03,980
This beach...
is called the Seven Mile Beach.
1213
01:06:05,060 --> 01:06:08,220
And I've no idea why, cos it's only
five and a half miles long.
1214
01:06:09,980 --> 01:06:12,460
Must have been on a rum day, that.
1215
01:06:12,460 --> 01:06:16,140
But it's beautiful - golden sands
1216
01:06:16,140 --> 01:06:18,820
and just having the sea...
1217
01:06:18,820 --> 01:06:20,780
..lapping on my toes.
1218
01:06:20,780 --> 01:06:22,380
Oh...
1219
01:06:22,380 --> 01:06:25,020
Fancy a paddle?
Come on, you know you do!
1220
01:06:33,380 --> 01:06:35,740
Now, as this is a playground
for the rich,
1221
01:06:35,740 --> 01:06:39,060
you could just sip champagne
and hit the designer shops.
1222
01:06:39,060 --> 01:06:42,700
But hey, holidays are also
about new experiences,
1223
01:06:42,700 --> 01:06:44,860
and when I saw this activity
in the guidebooks,
1224
01:06:44,860 --> 01:06:47,060
I just had to put my name down.
1225
01:06:47,060 --> 01:06:49,820
I'm going horse riding!
I'm going horse riding, me.
1226
01:06:49,820 --> 01:06:51,220
I've never done it before.
1227
01:06:51,220 --> 01:06:53,060
I booked my trip through the ship.
1228
01:06:53,060 --> 01:06:56,020
I wanted to be sure
the horses are well looked after.
1229
01:06:56,020 --> 01:06:57,620
I'm at an age now, nearly 40,
1230
01:06:57,620 --> 01:06:59,820
where I should be just
trying other things,
1231
01:06:59,820 --> 01:07:02,300
so I'm going to do it before...
it's too late.
1232
01:07:02,300 --> 01:07:04,340
I'm joining up
with my fellow passengers
1233
01:07:04,340 --> 01:07:06,700
Jeff, Rebecca,
Martin and Sandra.
1234
01:07:06,700 --> 01:07:08,020
There's safety in numbers.
1235
01:07:08,020 --> 01:07:11,140
Can I join you? Yes, for sure.
Great. All right.
1236
01:07:11,140 --> 01:07:13,020
It's a very straightforward thing,
1237
01:07:13,020 --> 01:07:15,700
like this whole first section
is extremely easy.
1238
01:07:15,700 --> 01:07:17,420
The only time
you have to do something
1239
01:07:17,420 --> 01:07:19,140
is when we start
going into the water. OK.
1240
01:07:19,140 --> 01:07:21,300
That's really about it,
and we're good to go.
1241
01:07:21,300 --> 01:07:24,140
We're going in the water? Right...
1242
01:07:24,140 --> 01:07:27,380
OK. Don't shy from it,
it's a very fun experience. Is it?
1243
01:07:27,380 --> 01:07:29,620
Trust me, it really is.
I believe you.
1244
01:07:29,620 --> 01:07:33,260
Let's go, all right. So if you'd
like to follow me down this way.
1245
01:07:33,260 --> 01:07:34,500
We're going in the water.
1246
01:07:35,820 --> 01:07:38,180
I didn't know about that bit.
1247
01:07:38,180 --> 01:07:39,660
Hang on.
1248
01:07:39,660 --> 01:07:42,460
We're going in...
We're going in the water!
1249
01:07:42,460 --> 01:07:45,780
I really should read the small print
when I book an excursion.
1250
01:07:47,780 --> 01:07:51,340
You've never done it? Never.
Good! Two of us!
1251
01:07:53,660 --> 01:07:56,780
I just don't often see
horses in the sea.
1252
01:07:56,780 --> 01:07:59,620
No, that's going to be
something totally new.
1253
01:07:59,620 --> 01:08:01,420
That's seahorses, isn't it?
1254
01:08:03,700 --> 01:08:06,420
I think you'll be good to go!
Ready, two feet up.
1255
01:08:06,420 --> 01:08:08,260
Look at that.
1256
01:08:08,260 --> 01:08:09,260
Blimey, I got on!
1257
01:08:11,620 --> 01:08:14,180
What's my horse called?
Her name is Lady. Lady?
1258
01:08:16,060 --> 01:08:18,100
This tour lasts about two hours,
1259
01:08:18,100 --> 01:08:21,220
starting with a breathtaking ride
along the coastline...
1260
01:08:23,780 --> 01:08:26,100
..the Caribbean sun on your skin,
1261
01:08:26,100 --> 01:08:27,860
a warm breeze in your hair,
1262
01:08:27,860 --> 01:08:30,020
..and a hot horse between your legs.
1263
01:08:30,020 --> 01:08:31,700
What's not to love?!
1264
01:08:31,700 --> 01:08:34,220
This is where we'll be going
into the water with the horses.
1265
01:08:34,220 --> 01:08:36,580
And there's still the swimming
to come.
1266
01:08:36,580 --> 01:08:38,140
It's what I love about cruising.
1267
01:08:38,140 --> 01:08:39,500
You do things like this
1268
01:08:39,500 --> 01:08:42,780
that you would never do
anywhere else. That's for sure.
1269
01:08:42,780 --> 01:08:45,380
All ready, OK? Here we go!
1270
01:08:48,820 --> 01:08:52,900
I've been told that the horses
absolutely love going in the sea,
1271
01:08:52,900 --> 01:08:56,460
so, uh...
I'm hoping Lady enjoys this.
1272
01:08:57,860 --> 01:08:59,700
I don't know about this lady!
1273
01:09:20,460 --> 01:09:22,220
Mine's off for a gallop!
1274
01:09:32,460 --> 01:09:35,060
You were brilliant, Lady,
you were brilliant!
1275
01:09:39,020 --> 01:09:40,420
Amazing.
1276
01:09:40,420 --> 01:09:42,220
OK, girl.
1277
01:09:45,500 --> 01:09:47,260
Thank you.
1278
01:09:47,260 --> 01:09:49,180
Oh! How elegant was that?!
1279
01:09:49,180 --> 01:09:50,980
I loved it, thank you so much.
1280
01:09:52,180 --> 01:09:53,940
That was amazing.
1281
01:09:53,940 --> 01:09:57,820
Oh, my God,
it was just...unbelievable.
1282
01:09:57,820 --> 01:10:02,260
And Lady found...she just went off,
she were like off on one,
1283
01:10:02,260 --> 01:10:04,860
she were like,
"OK, I've got no weight any more."
1284
01:10:04,860 --> 01:10:05,980
I think she meant me.
1285
01:10:05,980 --> 01:10:08,580
And she was swimming,
and she was going for it,
1286
01:10:08,580 --> 01:10:11,100
it was just incredible.
1287
01:10:11,100 --> 01:10:13,500
So I've fought my fears again.
1288
01:10:13,500 --> 01:10:16,300
I've gone swimming with horses
bareback today,
1289
01:10:16,300 --> 01:10:20,780
something I would never have done
if I hadn't been on this cruise.
1290
01:10:20,780 --> 01:10:23,340
Oh, what a day!
1291
01:10:23,340 --> 01:10:25,340
What an experience!
1292
01:10:25,340 --> 01:10:26,580
What a life!
1293
01:10:27,900 --> 01:10:30,940
Coming up, I get a true taste
of the Caribbean...
1294
01:10:30,940 --> 01:10:33,300
We have a little spiced rum for you.
1295
01:10:33,300 --> 01:10:36,180
Knock it back?
Take it nice and slow, taste it.
1296
01:10:36,180 --> 01:10:40,380
..before journeying deeper than
I've ever been before.
1297
01:10:40,380 --> 01:10:42,140
Look at that!
1298
01:10:42,140 --> 01:10:44,440
Oh, my God, we've stepped
into a Beatles song.
1299
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:54,800
Welcome back to the second leg
of my cruise around the Caribbean.
1300
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,920
I used to sail this route back
when I was working on the ships,
1301
01:10:57,920 --> 01:10:59,240
but that was...
SHE COUGHS
1302
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:00,640
..ooh, years ago now,
1303
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:05,280
so it's been great to revisit
old haunts and see new sights.
1304
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:09,520
Our day on fabulous Grand Cayman's
nearly over, but there's just enough
1305
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:13,360
time for me to jump on one of
the ship's organised excursions
1306
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:16,360
to sample the island's
tastiest export.
1307
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:18,080
Well, I think so anyway.
1308
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:19,880
Hi, I am Jane.
1309
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,760
Theresa. Nice to meet you.
There's a whole bunch of people.
1310
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,400
Are you from the ship today? Yes.
Awesome.
1311
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,960
Welcome to Tortuga.
This is our bakery.
1312
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:30,440
We have the delicious rum cake
in eight flavours.
1313
01:11:30,440 --> 01:11:32,040
We have the original with walnuts,
1314
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,440
we have chocolate, the coconut,
the banana, the pineapple.
1315
01:11:35,440 --> 01:11:37,920
And of course, not to forget,
our lovely key lime. Wow.
1316
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:39,320
So we have so many to taste.
1317
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,600
Rum, cake - it's just perfect.
Right? So we started as a rum
1318
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:47,600
company back in 1984, and then in
1987 was when the cake come along.
1319
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,960
So this is the original
home of Tortuga.
1320
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:53,360
I'm looking forward to tasting some.
1321
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:57,600
Should we start with a little rum
until these people get their cakes?
1322
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,800
I could do with that. I got a
little bit of the throat.
1323
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:02,160
A little bit of spice rum here.
Will this help?
1324
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:03,440
That will definitely help.
1325
01:12:03,440 --> 01:12:06,320
So we have a little spice rum
for you. Knock it back?
1326
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:08,760
Take it nice and slow, taste it.
1327
01:12:10,440 --> 01:12:12,960
There's more to come, my dear.
We're not going to run out.
1328
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:14,720
Ooh, that's me told.
1329
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,880
Which have you got there? Cinnamon?
1330
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:21,200
I don't know what this one is,
but I had the mango before.
1331
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:24,680
This has raisins in it. This might
annoy him. My husband hates raisins.
1332
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:29,240
I don't think you've had
any cake yet, my dear. Thank you.
1333
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:30,680
I love a good sample. Don't you?
1334
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:36,000
That one's lovely with a cup of tea.
Ooh, lovely with a cup of tea.
1335
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:39,720
By heck, they don't skimp
on the booze.
1336
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,560
I mean, I wouldn't call
the sponge moist, but if it
1337
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:44,200
were a field, it would be flooded.
1338
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:47,280
You want some more rum or
some more cake? No.
1339
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:48,600
But thank you.
1340
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:52,840
Sure? It's good for the throat
though, isn't it, the rum? It is.
1341
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:55,320
It is very good. Yeah.
It's medicinal. Really?
1342
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:57,520
Yeah, our white rum.
I'll have another one then.
1343
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:00,960
I think you should. Would you like
spice or the banana or the mango?
1344
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:03,720
No, the mango. Mango.
1345
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:09,280
Now, you know I'm only doing this
because I've got a sore throat.
1346
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:12,320
It is good for you.
1347
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:16,080
You know what?
1348
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:20,320
I think everybody should start
a morning off like this.
1349
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:22,520
I felt a bit rubbish
when I came out today,
1350
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:24,720
but I feel fantastic now. Good.
1351
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:27,080
It's such a famous name,
though, isn't it? Yes, it is.
1352
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,240
This is synonymous with the Cayman
Islands and all over the Caribbean,
1353
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:33,280
but it all started and
originated right here. Wow.
1354
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,440
The cake tasted so good,
I had to get Theresa to show me
1355
01:13:36,440 --> 01:13:38,840
their secrets in the
bakery next door,
1356
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:40,800
where the island's own Mary Berry
1357
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,240
puts these delicious
concoctions together.
1358
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:46,000
The secret is the rum glaze. Ah.
1359
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,600
That's the secret. So the cake is
baked and then we add the rum glaze.
1360
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:53,600
So we use a five-year-old aged rum
and it ends up being about 1%
1361
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:55,400
alcoholic content in the cake.
1362
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:56,560
It does have alcohol in it,
1363
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:58,760
but you need to eat a
lot to get drunk.
1364
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:02,720
But you're own the way. I can
fix that. We'll get you there.
1365
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:03,720
Yeah.
1366
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:08,840
I'll tell you what - I've been on
a health kick and I've come in here
1367
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,600
and I've come off it and I've had
a good time in here and I feel
1368
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:13,120
so much better.
1369
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:17,680
Health kick, smealth kick.
1370
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:21,120
That was definitely one of my
tastiest, booziest excursions
1371
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:24,000
ever, and that really is
saying something.
1372
01:14:28,440 --> 01:14:31,760
It's the start of Day 11 and
we're steaming towards our next
1373
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:36,000
port, Roatan, a small island
off the coast of Honduras.
1374
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:39,320
Those medicinal drinks and cakes
fair knocked me out once I got back
1375
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:40,680
to the ship.
1376
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:45,000
So, as we've got some time at sea
today, I'm going to take it easy.
1377
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:49,880
I ordered my breakfast last night
to arrive this morning,
1378
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:53,640
and I just put everything
that I wanted down here.
1379
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:57,480
They make everything from scratch
on this ship - croissants, muffins,
1380
01:14:57,480 --> 01:14:58,760
you name it.
1381
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,000
And they're all just a
couple of taps away,
1382
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:03,240
with my throat the way it is.
1383
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,200
I did lose my voice
earlier in the week and I...
1384
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:08,280
DOOR KNOCKS
1385
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:11,120
Ooh, that's my breakfast by
the sound of it.
1386
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:12,680
Hello. Hello.
1387
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:14,000
Good morning. How are you?
1388
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,400
Very well. Breakfast. Thank you.
1389
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:20,000
I didn't order all this.
1390
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:21,560
You're having a laugh, aren't you?
1391
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:23,960
Just down here will be great.
Thank you.
1392
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:25,960
I mean, it's only me.
1393
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:28,200
Flipping heck. How many...
1394
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:31,720
I must've gone a bit mad
with me app last night.
1395
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:34,760
Oh, well, I'll save some
of it for lunch.
1396
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:36,480
On a two-week cruise like this,
1397
01:15:36,480 --> 01:15:39,280
I do enjoy a good stretch
of actual sailing.
1398
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:41,920
Gives me the chance to have
some cabin time and do
1399
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:43,440
a bit of housekeeping.
1400
01:15:43,440 --> 01:15:48,840
Been here a week now and this has
been like a life-saver,
1401
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:52,400
this thing - a USB that goes
into your lamp stand. You've got
1402
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:54,120
everything going on in here.
1403
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:58,360
It's a spacious cabin with a
seating area and private balcony.
1404
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:01,520
Plus, there's enough wardrobe
space even for me.
1405
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:05,880
I have a really bad habit
of bringing too much stuff.
1406
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:08,600
I should be professional
at this by now.
1407
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:12,840
But I always think, "Just in case,
I'll take this outfit as well."
1408
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:17,400
I always bring nude shoes, flat
shoes for comfy walking and a pair
1409
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:22,600
of white ones, and these just make
it look a bit tidier. And this thing
1410
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:26,840
just folds up flat, goes right
into your case. Just little things
1411
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:32,160
that make travelling easier and
that makes it easier for me.
1412
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:35,760
With a few more hours to kill before
our next port, and with no room
1413
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:37,280
for any more pastries,
1414
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,200
the onboard spa's calling.
1415
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:40,440
Oh, hi, Jane.
1416
01:16:40,440 --> 01:16:41,560
Oh, you know me.
1417
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:44,520
Yes, of course. I am Luchi.
I will be your therapist.
1418
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:45,720
Thank you very much.
1419
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:46,880
Are you ready for me?
1420
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:48,360
Oh, yes.
1421
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:50,800
You have no idea...
Ready to relax? OK.
1422
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:53,920
You can come with me. Thank you.
1423
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:58,560
The spa offers a whole range of
treatments that you can book ahead
1424
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:00,600
online, all while on board.
1425
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,480
At £175, this is one of
the more expensive.
1426
01:17:04,480 --> 01:17:07,120
So welcome to the Seaweed Room.
1427
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:10,120
So what I'm going to do, I will do
the seaweed for you. I'll put the
1428
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:12,920
seaweed all over the body from the
neck down to your feet.
1429
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:14,720
I'm going to put you in
the float belt.
1430
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:17,280
You will actually drop
and then you will float.
1431
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:18,640
Oh, I'll be floating?
1432
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:23,080
It is actually. For 15 to 20
minutes, you will be relaxed. Oh.
1433
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:27,480
Uh-uh. So for now,
what I want you to do is
1434
01:17:27,480 --> 01:17:30,040
where the sexy underpants for you.
1435
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:33,880
Oh, these are nice. Right?
1436
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:36,560
Yeah. Look at these...
plastic bags.
1437
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:38,760
Well, they do come free,
1438
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,680
so that makes the bill
look a bit cheaper.
1439
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:48,040
OK. So you can sit up for me. OK.
1440
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,280
OK. You OK?
1441
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,240
Don't think it's hot enough
for me. Do you?
1442
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:55,520
Ooh! Ooh, that's nice and warm.
1443
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:59,080
Uh-uh. I told you. Oh.
1444
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:04,800
Mm-hm. Then you can lie down.
1445
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:11,440
It's just nice having a pamper now
and again. I don't think
1446
01:18:11,440 --> 01:18:16,320
we do this enough, and we always
think it's a luxurious thing to do.
1447
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:19,640
And actually, I think sometimes
it's necessity.
1448
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,840
So this is really good for me? Yes.
1449
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,400
This is really good for you,
for your joints, for your muscles,
1450
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:28,280
because for your joints and muscle,
it's sea fennel and sea buckthorn
1451
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:31,120
bringing back the nutrients and
minerals in your joints and muscle.
1452
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:33,760
At the same time, it will cleanse
the lymphatic system.
1453
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:36,120
Oh... A new person!
1454
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,920
And then I'm going to
wrap you now, OK? OK.
1455
01:18:40,440 --> 01:18:43,200
A bit like a chicken.
A chicken burrito, actually.
1456
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:44,880
Yeah, a chicken burrito.
1457
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:51,760
So let's start the float bed.
1458
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,600
Oh. Are you ready? Yeah.
Are you sure? Yeah!
1459
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:55,600
OK.
1460
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:00,920
Oh! This is weird. Uh-huh.
1461
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:06,280
Oh, my God. That's amazing.
Are you OK?
1462
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:08,720
Oh, that's amazing.
It is. I told you.
1463
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:11,680
This is the most favourite...
1464
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:13,840
Yeah. ..bed that we have.
1465
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:15,280
Oh, this is amazing.
1466
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:18,840
The hardness of the bed has just
gone down and I'm actually
1467
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:20,480
suspended now in water.
1468
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:25,040
And it's just the most amazing
feeling. You're going to love me,
1469
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:28,000
I'm telling you. I love you already.
1470
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:32,400
75 minutes this therapy lasts.
1471
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,080
That's an hour and a
quarter of de-stress heaven.
1472
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,160
Wow. I'm totally chilled out.
1473
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:44,440
What an amazing experience that was.
1474
01:19:44,440 --> 01:19:46,760
Floating seaweed massage.
1475
01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:52,000
I'm just going to chill out now.
See ya.
1476
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:58,240
I got back to my cabin, finished
them pastries and fell asleep.
1477
01:19:58,240 --> 01:19:59,920
Bliss.
1478
01:19:59,920 --> 01:20:04,160
Now, never mind the pampering -
what about the sailing?
1479
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:08,000
Well, since you ask, the ship's
now completed the 400 miles
1480
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,960
from Grand Cayman
to our next island stop.
1481
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:14,560
Where are you going? Beach. Beach.
1482
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:16,560
Oh, fantastic.
1483
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,200
Oh, look at this.
1484
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:20,400
You been here before?
No, first time.
1485
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:22,040
INDISTINCT
Really?
1486
01:20:24,480 --> 01:20:25,640
Morning. Morning.
1487
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:27,640
Have a good day. And you. Ta-ra.
1488
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:30,880
We're in Roatan in Honduras,
1489
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:32,760
which is Central America,
1490
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:35,040
and I've never been before
1491
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:36,240
and it's...gorgeous!
1492
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,600
I'm very excited about today.
1493
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:44,240
Cos look at the day,
to start with,
1494
01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:46,600
and I'm going on a submarine.
1495
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:50,240
I was going to go scuba diving
but my chest won't allow it today
1496
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:53,440
so I'm going to go in a submarine
1497
01:20:53,440 --> 01:20:55,760
and it's a very, very
exciting thing to do.
1498
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:58,000
It's something I've
never done before.
1499
01:20:58,000 --> 01:20:59,280
Come on, let's go.
1500
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,320
Roatan is the largest
of the Bay Islands,
1501
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:07,000
40 miles off the coast
of Honduras itself.
1502
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:10,040
It lies on the southern edge
of a huge barrier reef.
1503
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,640
There's only one bigger
in the world
1504
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:14,600
and that's in Australia.
1505
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:18,000
Quite excited to try
something a bit different.
1506
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:19,200
You know me.
1507
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,240
Look how fabulous this place is.
1508
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:27,800
It's a very, very small,
little submarine.
1509
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:30,320
So, yeah, I'm pretty nervous.
1510
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:31,760
I can't say I'm not nervous.
1511
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:33,480
I'm nervous.
1512
01:21:33,480 --> 01:21:36,840
Cos I don't know if I'm
claustrophobic underwater or not.
1513
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:37,840
I'll soon find out.
1514
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:47,240
If anyone can spot the signs
it's Captain Karl Stanley.
1515
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:50,840
He set up the Roatan Institute
of Deep Sea Exploration
1516
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:52,800
back in 1998.
1517
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:55,080
His mission -
to take tourists like me
1518
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:57,160
deeper than we've ever been before.
1519
01:21:57,160 --> 01:22:00,760
This is it. Look. Voyage of...
Loo, it's there.
1520
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:03,640
Oh, my God.
We've stepped into a Beatles song.
1521
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:05,680
Wow. Look at this.
1522
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:07,600
Fancy living here.
1523
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:08,720
I do!
1524
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:12,440
Starting at $400,
an expedition like this is pricey,
1525
01:22:12,440 --> 01:22:15,320
but it's a once-in-a-lifetime
experience
1526
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:17,360
you won't find anywhere else.
1527
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:19,560
Hi, are you Karl? Ah, yes.
1528
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:22,400
I'm Jane. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
1529
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:24,800
So you're going to take me
down in a yellow submarine?
1530
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:29,040
Yeah, we're going to go into the
Cayman Trench right out there. Wow.
1531
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:31,040
So this is something
I've never done before.
1532
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:33,960
Well, there's only two other
comparable operations right now
1533
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:35,400
in the entire world.
1534
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:37,360
Oh, my God.
1535
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:39,880
We're going to go out about
800 feet from where we are
1536
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:41,680
and then drop down to 700 feet
1537
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:45,240
cos the visibility doesn't
really open up until 300 feet.
1538
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,960
Really? Then it doubles.
That's incredible.
1539
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:51,400
I mean, I've been a diver...
Yeah. ..for many years,
1540
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:55,200
but this is way ahead of that,
isn't it?
1541
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:57,080
Well, we're getting into
a zone of the ocean
1542
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,200
that there's no other
way to access.
1543
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:03,960
I'm so pleased I've got a cold.
1544
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:07,280
Otherwise you would have been diving
today? I would have, yeah.
1545
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:10,520
Ah! So this was meant to be.
All works out. Yeah. meant to be.
1546
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:13,880
Do I get in first? Yeah.
You get in first. Oh, my God.
1547
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:16,520
This is so exciting.
1548
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:20,080
OK. Right, this should be fun.
1549
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:24,600
Farewell.
1550
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,080
This is going to be amazing.
1551
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:34,080
Coming up, I go plumbing the depths.
1552
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:35,200
This is unbelievable.
1553
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:39,520
And, back on board,
1554
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:42,160
I make a magical new friend.
1555
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:45,480
Can you tell me what medallion
that is? My God! That's mine.
1556
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:49,000
That's definitely my medallion.
1557
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:52,740
Yeah. It's got my name
on it and everything.
1558
01:23:57,820 --> 01:24:01,460
Hello again. It's day 11
of my Caribbean adventure,
1559
01:24:01,460 --> 01:24:04,820
and I'm on the picture postcard
island of Roatan.
1560
01:24:04,820 --> 01:24:06,500
There's so much to see on land,
1561
01:24:06,500 --> 01:24:08,420
but I'm getting an underwater view,
1562
01:24:08,420 --> 01:24:09,940
thanks to Captain Karl
1563
01:24:09,940 --> 01:24:13,380
and his one-of-a-kind
yellow submarine.
1564
01:24:13,380 --> 01:24:16,940
All right, we're over
the first wall. Great.
1565
01:24:16,940 --> 01:24:20,180
Are you closing the hatch now?
Yeah. Amazing.
1566
01:24:30,580 --> 01:24:34,940
I can see also sorts. There's
the reef right in front of me.
1567
01:24:34,940 --> 01:24:36,660
There's fish everywhere.
1568
01:24:37,780 --> 01:24:38,980
It's incredible.
1569
01:24:42,660 --> 01:24:45,100
Is this all coral down here, Karl?
1570
01:24:45,100 --> 01:24:49,820
Yeah. Sponges and sea fans,
gorgonians,
1571
01:24:49,820 --> 01:24:51,620
plate corals, pillar coral.
1572
01:24:53,060 --> 01:24:56,420
The reef is actually
looking real good.
1573
01:24:56,420 --> 01:24:58,820
This is unbelievable.
1574
01:25:02,700 --> 01:25:05,660
That's some coral, look at that.
1575
01:25:05,660 --> 01:25:08,380
That coral there,
that looks like a basket,
1576
01:25:08,380 --> 01:25:10,580
is called basket coral.
1577
01:25:12,220 --> 01:25:16,140
And the coral that
looks like a plate
1578
01:25:16,140 --> 01:25:18,500
is called plate coral.
1579
01:25:18,500 --> 01:25:19,900
I love that.
1580
01:25:23,380 --> 01:25:25,980
This is an incredible experience.
1581
01:25:33,420 --> 01:25:37,580
Great to see that there's
so much life just under the sea.
1582
01:25:39,380 --> 01:25:41,820
And that the coral is healthy here.
1583
01:25:43,620 --> 01:25:46,020
It's a whole different
world down here.
1584
01:25:49,940 --> 01:25:52,260
I feel very privileged
1585
01:25:52,260 --> 01:25:55,260
to be one of a handful of people
1586
01:25:55,260 --> 01:25:57,780
to be this far down in the sea.
1587
01:26:00,020 --> 01:26:01,820
And it's quite eerie.
1588
01:26:01,820 --> 01:26:02,820
But hugely exciting.
1589
01:26:05,100 --> 01:26:06,500
Wow.
1590
01:26:06,500 --> 01:26:09,020
You realise how deep you are
1591
01:26:09,020 --> 01:26:11,580
by the darkness,
1592
01:26:11,580 --> 01:26:13,500
because the sun
1593
01:26:13,500 --> 01:26:16,260
is still shining
so brightly up there
1594
01:26:16,260 --> 01:26:19,180
but, of course,
down here in the depths,
1595
01:26:19,180 --> 01:26:21,740
it's like night-time.
1596
01:26:21,740 --> 01:26:23,580
Very, very eerie.
1597
01:26:33,940 --> 01:26:36,260
So it's easier if
you push off the side.
1598
01:26:36,260 --> 01:26:37,260
Yeah? Yeah.
1599
01:26:42,180 --> 01:26:43,860
Thank you, Karl. You're welcome.
1600
01:26:46,420 --> 01:26:48,020
Oh, my God.
1601
01:26:48,020 --> 01:26:52,220
That is something...I've never
experienced in my life.
1602
01:26:52,220 --> 01:26:54,540
I've never been to 500 feet
1603
01:26:54,540 --> 01:26:58,140
and I've never seen
daylight turn to night.
1604
01:26:58,140 --> 01:27:00,460
I've never seen fish like that.
1605
01:27:01,780 --> 01:27:05,580
This is quite
a unique piece of equipment.
1606
01:27:05,580 --> 01:27:11,860
And this chap, Karl,
is an inventor with a vision
1607
01:27:11,860 --> 01:27:16,020
and, wow, I've been able
to share his vision today.
1608
01:27:21,020 --> 01:27:23,620
After journeying so far
under the sea,
1609
01:27:23,620 --> 01:27:25,540
I'm now back on the surface.
1610
01:27:25,540 --> 01:27:27,900
As we leave
the Honduran coast behind
1611
01:27:27,900 --> 01:27:30,220
and head for our next stop
in Belize,
1612
01:27:30,220 --> 01:27:33,340
I've got a bit of time to catch
up with some of my cruise mates.
1613
01:27:33,340 --> 01:27:37,620
But seeing as the ship's over
1,000 feet long and 19 decks high,
1614
01:27:37,620 --> 01:27:39,700
that takes a bit of planning.
1615
01:27:39,700 --> 01:27:43,100
Now, you're probably thinking,
"What's she be packing a bag for?"
1616
01:27:43,100 --> 01:27:46,260
I'll tell you why I'm packing a bag.
Because you will thank me
1617
01:27:46,260 --> 01:27:50,900
for packing a bag on a ship
this size, because otherwise
1618
01:27:50,900 --> 01:27:53,500
you're going to be up and
down them stairs, thinking,
1619
01:27:53,500 --> 01:27:55,740
"Oh, I forgot that.
Oh, I've forgotten this."
1620
01:27:55,740 --> 01:27:57,180
It's a big ship.
1621
01:27:57,180 --> 01:27:58,860
So suntan lotion,
1622
01:27:58,860 --> 01:28:02,260
clip to clip my hair up in the wind,
1623
01:28:02,260 --> 01:28:04,740
throat sweets,
1624
01:28:04,740 --> 01:28:06,660
phone,
1625
01:28:06,660 --> 01:28:12,260
earphones, music, magazine.
1626
01:28:12,260 --> 01:28:13,420
That can go in there.
1627
01:28:15,340 --> 01:28:16,500
Sunglasses.
1628
01:28:16,500 --> 01:28:21,620
And, of course, that cos you'll
want to buy a drink upstairs.
1629
01:28:21,620 --> 01:28:25,180
And that way, I'm packed up
for the day
1630
01:28:25,180 --> 01:28:29,540
Must admit, I'm getting very
attached to my little medallion now.
1631
01:28:29,540 --> 01:28:31,580
Not only does it act
as your room card,
1632
01:28:31,580 --> 01:28:33,900
you can use it to pay for food
and drink,
1633
01:28:33,900 --> 01:28:36,140
get personalised info
around the ship
1634
01:28:36,140 --> 01:28:38,180
and even sign out when you get off.
1635
01:28:38,180 --> 01:28:40,220
That's if you want to leave,
of course.
1636
01:28:40,220 --> 01:28:42,820
There's a packed schedule of
activities on board
1637
01:28:42,820 --> 01:28:45,460
and many are available
even when in port.
1638
01:28:45,460 --> 01:28:47,380
From karaoke to keeping fit,
1639
01:28:47,380 --> 01:28:49,020
from bingo to basketball,
1640
01:28:49,020 --> 01:28:50,740
you'll never be bored.
1641
01:28:50,740 --> 01:28:54,540
But if you're like me, sometimes
all you want is a good natter.
1642
01:28:54,540 --> 01:28:56,740
I met Sheila and Nils
a few days ago,
1643
01:28:56,740 --> 01:29:00,620
so we've arranged to catch up
in one of the on cafes.
1644
01:29:00,620 --> 01:29:04,020
Oh, look. Look at this dog here.
Oh, hello. Hello!
1645
01:29:04,020 --> 01:29:06,380
Oh, look at you.
1646
01:29:06,380 --> 01:29:09,060
Hi. Are you allowed
dogs on the ship?
1647
01:29:09,060 --> 01:29:11,340
It's not easy.
Let me tell you that.
1648
01:29:11,340 --> 01:29:13,100
You know what?
I'm the magician on board
1649
01:29:13,100 --> 01:29:14,860
and this is my
lovely blonde assistant.
1650
01:29:14,860 --> 01:29:16,100
Oh, very nice.
1651
01:29:16,100 --> 01:29:19,100
Hello! Yes! We've seen you.
1652
01:29:19,100 --> 01:29:21,300
Would you guys like to see
a magic trick? Oh, yes, please.
1653
01:29:21,300 --> 01:29:22,500
Amazing.
1654
01:29:22,500 --> 01:29:24,340
Cool. Yeah! All right, Jane...
Yes.
1655
01:29:24,340 --> 01:29:26,380
..I see you have a medallion
on your neck.
1656
01:29:26,380 --> 01:29:28,780
Can I have that medallion?
You can, my lovely.
1657
01:29:28,780 --> 01:29:31,780
Actually, could you puppy-sit
for me? I certainly can.
1658
01:29:31,780 --> 01:29:33,980
I would love that.
1659
01:29:33,980 --> 01:29:38,860
All right. Come here, MJ. Come on.
Right into her lap. Hello, love.
1660
01:29:38,860 --> 01:29:41,020
You get yourself comfy, MJ.
1661
01:29:41,020 --> 01:29:43,060
So we have Jane's medallion
1662
01:29:43,060 --> 01:29:44,540
and I want you to watch.
1663
01:29:44,540 --> 01:29:47,260
Watch her medallion.
With just a wave of my hand,
1664
01:29:47,260 --> 01:29:51,140
it actually vanishes
right out of your case.
1665
01:29:51,140 --> 01:29:53,300
Oh! They're really hard to get out.
1666
01:29:53,300 --> 01:29:54,500
In magic, there's a rule -
1667
01:29:54,500 --> 01:29:58,060
if you make something disappear,
you have to make it reappear. OK.
1668
01:29:58,060 --> 01:30:00,380
OK? You've been holding
MJ this whole time.
1669
01:30:00,380 --> 01:30:02,620
I have. I want you to look
on his collar. OK.
1670
01:30:02,620 --> 01:30:04,260
There's a medallion on his collar.
1671
01:30:04,260 --> 01:30:05,780
Can you take a look at that?
1672
01:30:05,780 --> 01:30:08,340
Let me have a look
at your medallion.
1673
01:30:08,340 --> 01:30:11,260
Can you tell me... My God!
..what medallion that is?
1674
01:30:11,260 --> 01:30:12,980
That's mine!
1675
01:30:12,980 --> 01:30:15,300
That's definitely my medallion.
1676
01:30:15,300 --> 01:30:18,740
Yeah! It's got my name on it
and everything.
1677
01:30:18,740 --> 01:30:20,540
How did you do that?
1678
01:30:20,540 --> 01:30:23,580
Magic!
I've had MJ on my knee all the time.
1679
01:30:23,580 --> 01:30:27,020
It was the dog. It was the dog
did the magic. It's a magic dog.
1680
01:30:27,020 --> 01:30:30,020
I will give this back to you.
You can hold on to that,
1681
01:30:30,020 --> 01:30:33,980
but I will take
the lovely magic dog.
1682
01:30:33,980 --> 01:30:36,900
Nice. He also left you
a little present. Yeah, he did.
1683
01:30:36,900 --> 01:30:38,620
He's left a little bit of wee.
LAUGHTER
1684
01:30:38,620 --> 01:30:40,940
OK. Thank you. All right.
1685
01:30:40,940 --> 01:30:42,380
Come on. Bye!
1686
01:30:42,380 --> 01:30:43,500
Bye, Alex!
1687
01:30:43,500 --> 01:30:45,340
Bit of wee has just come out on me.
1688
01:30:45,340 --> 01:30:46,820
LAUGHTER
1689
01:30:46,820 --> 01:30:48,860
Always happens.
1690
01:30:48,860 --> 01:30:51,820
Nice little bit of wee on my lap.
1691
01:30:51,820 --> 01:30:53,900
It's fine.
1692
01:30:53,900 --> 01:30:57,140
We'll put that down to excitement,
shall we?
1693
01:30:57,140 --> 01:31:02,060
Now, tea finished and pants changed,
it's time for some activity.
1694
01:31:02,060 --> 01:31:04,340
Oh, this is where
it's happening, is it?
1695
01:31:04,340 --> 01:31:06,180
Can I play? Shall we play four?
1696
01:31:06,180 --> 01:31:09,820
I'm meeting up with my friends
I met on the horse riding excursion
1697
01:31:09,820 --> 01:31:11,180
back on Grand Cayman.
1698
01:31:11,180 --> 01:31:12,780
As they're from Canada,
1699
01:31:12,780 --> 01:31:15,140
I'll be carrying the torch
for Britain.
1700
01:31:15,140 --> 01:31:16,940
Sorry, Britain.
1701
01:31:16,940 --> 01:31:18,700
So who's partners then?
1702
01:31:18,700 --> 01:31:20,900
OK, Jeff, you can be with Jane.
1703
01:31:20,900 --> 01:31:23,780
All right, Jane, that was easy. OK?
1704
01:31:23,780 --> 01:31:25,020
Have you played much?
1705
01:31:25,020 --> 01:31:28,220
I was in a school team
when I was ten. Nice.
1706
01:31:28,220 --> 01:31:32,300
Oh, now you tell us that!
I haven't played since I were ten.
1707
01:31:32,300 --> 01:31:34,460
It's like riding a bicycle.
Is it really?
1708
01:31:34,460 --> 01:31:35,580
I can't do that either.
1709
01:31:35,580 --> 01:31:39,420
Should we have a practice?
Yeah. Sure, that'd be a great idea.
1710
01:31:39,420 --> 01:31:41,780
Well, that was...
LAUGHTER
1711
01:31:43,340 --> 01:31:44,820
Oh. That's all right.
1712
01:31:46,980 --> 01:31:48,740
Is that a good serve?
1713
01:31:48,740 --> 01:31:51,060
Was that a good serve?
Very good serve.
1714
01:31:51,060 --> 01:31:54,140
The technique's coming out already.
It's come back to you quick.
1715
01:31:54,140 --> 01:31:56,340
Never leaves you when you're ten.
1716
01:31:58,020 --> 01:31:59,340
Oh, yeah.
1717
01:32:04,220 --> 01:32:07,020
Do you know something?
I'm better than I thought.
1718
01:32:07,020 --> 01:32:09,500
OK, Canada, let's see
what you've got.
1719
01:32:09,500 --> 01:32:11,740
Going down. Going down!
1720
01:32:16,540 --> 01:32:17,900
Ooh!
1721
01:32:19,100 --> 01:32:20,500
Oh, that one's gone.
1722
01:32:20,500 --> 01:32:21,860
Oh!
1723
01:32:21,860 --> 01:32:23,780
New ball!
We've lost the ball!
1724
01:32:23,780 --> 01:32:27,300
We got a ball. It's OK! Hey!
1725
01:32:27,300 --> 01:32:29,780
Match point.
It's in your hands, Jane.
1726
01:32:29,780 --> 01:32:31,740
This is the one.
1727
01:32:34,020 --> 01:32:36,060
LAUGHTER
1728
01:32:36,060 --> 01:32:37,700
Yeah.
1729
01:32:41,700 --> 01:32:43,340
Did you get it?
1730
01:32:43,340 --> 01:32:45,100
Thanks, Jane.
1731
01:32:45,100 --> 01:32:47,140
Fantastic.
1732
01:32:47,140 --> 01:32:49,540
Do the winners buy the drinks or
do the losers buy the drinks?
1733
01:32:49,540 --> 01:32:51,740
It's got to be winners.
The winners? Yeah, winners.
1734
01:32:51,740 --> 01:32:54,460
I'm OK with that. Are you OK with
the winners buying the drinks?
1735
01:32:54,460 --> 01:32:58,220
What do you all want? Cold beer.
Cold beer. Ice-cold beer.
1736
01:32:58,220 --> 01:33:02,060
Come on, let's go.
Go down real good.
1737
01:33:03,740 --> 01:33:07,140
Right, there's only so long your
ping pong queen can celebrate
1738
01:33:07,140 --> 01:33:09,940
in the bar cos we've got
more exploring to do.
1739
01:33:09,940 --> 01:33:13,300
Since leaving Honduras,
we've sailed nearly 140 miles
1740
01:33:13,300 --> 01:33:16,340
to reach
the Central American state Belize,
1741
01:33:16,340 --> 01:33:19,860
until 1981 an outpost
of the British Empire.
1742
01:33:23,340 --> 01:33:25,420
The ship offers loads of excursions.
1743
01:33:25,420 --> 01:33:28,540
There's a zoo, kayaking, diving
and airboat rides,
1744
01:33:28,540 --> 01:33:32,620
but I've gone to something a little
more unique to the local area.
1745
01:33:32,620 --> 01:33:35,900
Do I go that way?
Yes. Go right ahead inside.
1746
01:33:35,900 --> 01:33:38,220
Belize was once home to the Mayans,
1747
01:33:38,220 --> 01:33:41,020
the ancient native people
of Central America,
1748
01:33:41,020 --> 01:33:42,900
and they left their mark here.
1749
01:33:42,900 --> 01:33:45,060
I've splashed out on
a trip to a temple
1750
01:33:45,060 --> 01:33:47,420
which includes a riverboat safari.
1751
01:33:47,420 --> 01:33:49,660
These all-in-one packages
are often cheaper
1752
01:33:49,660 --> 01:33:52,060
than doing the activities
individually
1753
01:33:52,060 --> 01:33:57,220
At £115, this one includes
a six-hour round trip with lunch.
1754
01:33:57,220 --> 01:33:58,500
Not bad.
1755
01:33:58,500 --> 01:34:00,100
Thank you very much.
1756
01:34:03,860 --> 01:34:06,700
Right, this is it.
We're going deep in the jungle.
1757
01:34:08,500 --> 01:34:11,820
We're going to see some sights
that we've never seen before.
1758
01:34:11,820 --> 01:34:12,820
Hurrah.
1759
01:34:19,580 --> 01:34:22,780
Right, if in there, if I don't
get eaten, at least I'll float.
1760
01:34:24,340 --> 01:34:29,180
Best of the best!
PASSENGERS: Always! Woo!
1761
01:34:30,380 --> 01:34:33,940
This boat safari takes us
along the New River Lagoon
1762
01:34:33,940 --> 01:34:36,540
to the Lamanai
Archaeological Reserve.
1763
01:34:36,540 --> 01:34:39,380
It's an exhilarating way
to reach the ruins.
1764
01:34:39,380 --> 01:34:42,700
Probably shouldn't have bothered
doing my hair this morning, though.
1765
01:34:42,700 --> 01:34:43,980
Ladies and gentlemen,
1766
01:34:43,980 --> 01:34:46,860
again, we're in one of
the most remote parts of Belize.
1767
01:34:46,860 --> 01:34:48,540
There are jaguars.
1768
01:34:48,540 --> 01:34:51,820
We have a lot of monkeys in
the area, black howler monkeys
1769
01:34:51,820 --> 01:34:54,060
being the loudest primates
in the world.
1770
01:34:54,060 --> 01:34:57,460
And of course, there are going to be
a lot of tiny holes on the ground.
1771
01:34:57,460 --> 01:35:00,740
What do you all think live
inside those holes?
1772
01:35:00,740 --> 01:35:01,780
Tarantulas!
1773
01:35:03,660 --> 01:35:06,340
We're asking you all to watch
where you're putting your feet
1774
01:35:06,340 --> 01:35:08,540
at all times. Capiche?
1775
01:35:09,860 --> 01:35:11,620
Wonderful.
1776
01:35:11,620 --> 01:35:14,980
Dear, oh, dear. What have we
let ourselves in for here?
1777
01:35:14,980 --> 01:35:20,340
We've got tarantulas,
jaguars, snakes.
1778
01:35:20,340 --> 01:35:22,660
Seemed a good idea
when we booked it.
1779
01:35:25,100 --> 01:35:27,780
There's lots of different
tour options available,
1780
01:35:27,780 --> 01:35:30,820
but I always find it's worth
spending that little bit extra
1781
01:35:30,820 --> 01:35:33,980
to have a smaller group
and an experienced tour guide.
1782
01:35:33,980 --> 01:35:36,980
I'm teaming up with Sheila
and Nils from the ship again,
1783
01:35:36,980 --> 01:35:39,460
and our guide, Nury,
is showing us everything
1784
01:35:39,460 --> 01:35:41,580
this ancient land has to offer.
1785
01:35:42,700 --> 01:35:44,940
And when I say everything...
1786
01:35:44,940 --> 01:35:47,420
Jane? Yeah? Looking for tarantulas.
1787
01:35:47,420 --> 01:35:50,020
Oh, why? Because we're here.
1788
01:35:50,020 --> 01:35:51,780
Why would you look for a tarantula!?
1789
01:35:51,780 --> 01:35:54,820
Because we're here.
I want you to see a tarantula.
1790
01:35:54,820 --> 01:35:58,220
OK. Now, these holes.
Yeah? That's where they live.
1791
01:35:58,220 --> 01:36:02,900
Right. The fact that there's cobweb
over it means it's in there.
1792
01:36:02,900 --> 01:36:05,980
Now, they don't always come out,
but we're going to try our best. Oh.
1793
01:36:05,980 --> 01:36:11,060
These tarantulas are known as
the red rump Mexican tarantulas.
1794
01:36:11,060 --> 01:36:12,700
Be extremely quiet.
1795
01:36:18,260 --> 01:36:20,380
WHISPERING: I'll be screaming
in a minute.
1796
01:36:27,380 --> 01:36:29,940
Oh, he's... That was his legs. Yeah.
1797
01:36:33,540 --> 01:36:36,460
Don't make noise. Don't make noise.
Do not make noise.
1798
01:36:39,220 --> 01:36:41,460
Ah... I don't think
we're going to...
1799
01:36:41,460 --> 01:36:45,060
I don't think he's going to
come out. I'm quite pleased.
1800
01:36:45,060 --> 01:36:47,780
Quite pleased, Shelia,
that he's not coming out.
1801
01:36:47,780 --> 01:36:51,100
Wondering which direction
I was going to run. Up there.
1802
01:36:51,100 --> 01:36:52,620
We'll try another one.
1803
01:36:52,620 --> 01:36:54,820
No, I think you're fine.
1804
01:36:54,820 --> 01:36:57,740
Even the smallest flash
of tarantula leg
1805
01:36:57,740 --> 01:36:59,940
is quite enough tarantula for me.
1806
01:36:59,940 --> 01:37:02,460
You can come and see more
if you fancy it,
1807
01:37:02,460 --> 01:37:04,540
but flip flops aren't advised.
1808
01:37:04,540 --> 01:37:07,860
Coming up... Do it just
like the Mayans did it.
1809
01:37:07,860 --> 01:37:10,100
I reach the top of
the ancient world.
1810
01:37:10,100 --> 01:37:14,100
That's been great getting up.
Yes. How do we get down?
1811
01:37:14,100 --> 01:37:16,260
And as the island gears
up for Carnival...
1812
01:37:16,260 --> 01:37:17,980
Are you ready? I'm ready.
1813
01:37:17,980 --> 01:37:20,260
..I prepare for
the night of my life.
1814
01:37:20,260 --> 01:37:23,170
Get wild! You're allowed to be.
Get wild!
1815
01:37:27,970 --> 01:37:31,770
Welcome back to the Central American
tourist hot spot Belize.
1816
01:37:31,770 --> 01:37:34,530
Nearly half a million visitors
come each year
1817
01:37:34,530 --> 01:37:37,490
to soak up the sun and view
its ancient treasures.
1818
01:37:37,490 --> 01:37:39,770
Some of the best of those are here
1819
01:37:39,770 --> 01:37:42,570
at the Lamanai
Archaeological Reserve.
1820
01:37:42,570 --> 01:37:44,970
As we struggle to avoid
the creepy crawlies,
1821
01:37:44,970 --> 01:37:47,570
me and my fellow passengers,
Sheila and Nils,
1822
01:37:47,570 --> 01:37:49,370
are on the history hunt,
1823
01:37:49,370 --> 01:37:53,450
finding out about the ancient
Mayan population.
1824
01:37:53,450 --> 01:37:57,690
We're here at Lamanai and Lamanai is
one of the longest occupied
1825
01:37:57,690 --> 01:38:02,010
Mayan cities ever to be excavated
in what we call the Maya world.
1826
01:38:02,010 --> 01:38:05,250
And one of the reasons why
we believe the Mayas were able
1827
01:38:05,250 --> 01:38:08,970
to occupy this land so long
is because of its location.
1828
01:38:08,970 --> 01:38:11,410
It sits right on the largest
body of fresh water
1829
01:38:11,410 --> 01:38:13,410
we have in the entire country
of Belize
1830
01:38:13,410 --> 01:38:16,730
so it provided an abundance
of what's essential for life,
1831
01:38:16,730 --> 01:38:18,210
which is fresh water.
1832
01:38:18,210 --> 01:38:20,450
So there was quite intelligent
life here, wasn't there?
1833
01:38:20,450 --> 01:38:22,730
Oh, yes, the population of this city
1834
01:38:22,730 --> 01:38:25,770
was an estimated
45 to 65,000 people.
1835
01:38:25,770 --> 01:38:28,770
So this was a extremely
large Mayan city.
1836
01:38:32,610 --> 01:38:34,090
So this is a temple.
1837
01:38:34,090 --> 01:38:36,090
Yes. This is the Jaguar's Temple.
1838
01:38:36,090 --> 01:38:39,770
If you look at it, are two stylised
Jaguar faces on the buildings.
1839
01:38:39,770 --> 01:38:42,130
In the centre, nostrils.
1840
01:38:42,130 --> 01:38:45,810
Beneath it is the mouth, and
on the sides are the ear flares.
1841
01:38:45,810 --> 01:38:47,410
So the Mayans still live here?
1842
01:38:47,410 --> 01:38:50,930
Oh, yes, we still have traditional
Mayans still living in Belize,
1843
01:38:50,930 --> 01:38:54,810
still practising some of their
rituals, still vibrant cultures
1844
01:38:54,810 --> 01:38:56,130
here in the country of Belize.
1845
01:38:56,130 --> 01:38:58,050
Unlike many ruins around the world,
1846
01:38:58,050 --> 01:39:01,210
here at Lamanai you're allowed to
get up close and personal
1847
01:39:01,210 --> 01:39:02,770
and even climb up to the top.
1848
01:39:02,770 --> 01:39:04,130
That's if you're fit enough.
1849
01:39:04,130 --> 01:39:06,330
So you ready to head up
the temple? Rock and roll?
1850
01:39:06,330 --> 01:39:08,450
Yes. Let's rock and roll.
Let's do this.
1851
01:39:13,930 --> 01:39:15,490
Off we go.
1852
01:39:18,690 --> 01:39:22,890
Oh, it is a lot easier to
do it as if you're bowing. Yes.
1853
01:39:22,890 --> 01:39:24,570
Take your time.
1854
01:39:24,570 --> 01:39:26,490
Yeah. Look at Sheila, she's off.
1855
01:39:26,490 --> 01:39:29,690
We'll do it
just like the Mayans did it. Yeah.
1856
01:39:33,290 --> 01:39:37,130
There you go. Ey-up.
Teamwork makes the dream work. Yeah.
1857
01:39:39,290 --> 01:39:40,450
Look at her!
1858
01:39:42,290 --> 01:39:46,170
Sheila's off! And she's off!
1859
01:39:46,170 --> 01:39:48,930
I win the trophy. You have...Rocky!
1860
01:39:48,930 --> 01:39:50,330
Rocky's got nothing on me.
1861
01:39:50,330 --> 01:39:52,850
Look at us up here.
1862
01:39:52,850 --> 01:39:54,290
Can't believe we've done it.
1863
01:39:57,650 --> 01:40:00,570
All right, for us to get on
the very top, we must make our way
1864
01:40:00,570 --> 01:40:03,850
around the temple on the sides.
1865
01:40:03,850 --> 01:40:05,570
You ready? I think so.
1866
01:40:05,570 --> 01:40:07,570
Well, Sheila's more ready than I am.
1867
01:40:07,570 --> 01:40:08,970
Let's go.
1868
01:40:08,970 --> 01:40:10,010
Let's do this.
1869
01:40:10,010 --> 01:40:11,490
Just don't look down, Sheila.
1870
01:40:14,810 --> 01:40:19,650
From on top, you get the wonderful
views of the jungle. Right.
1871
01:40:19,650 --> 01:40:20,650
I hope it's worth it!
1872
01:40:26,650 --> 01:40:31,250
Yeah, we've done it.
1873
01:40:31,250 --> 01:40:33,570
There we go. Hey, come here, you!
1874
01:40:34,610 --> 01:40:36,970
So proud of you.
1875
01:40:36,970 --> 01:40:38,570
Hey, you put me to shame.
1876
01:40:40,850 --> 01:40:44,410
Although Sheila made it look simple,
trust me, that climb was harder
1877
01:40:44,410 --> 01:40:47,970
than it looked, but
it was worth in the end.
1878
01:40:47,970 --> 01:40:51,290
This location's unlike
any place I've been to before.
1879
01:40:55,050 --> 01:40:57,810
It's amazing.
It's wonderful, marvellous.
1880
01:40:57,810 --> 01:41:02,330
I can see why it's worth
getting up here, isn't it?
1881
01:41:02,330 --> 01:41:05,490
Yes. And the temperature's
so lovely up here.
1882
01:41:05,490 --> 01:41:09,130
This is one for the books.
It ain't half, innit?
1883
01:41:09,130 --> 01:41:11,650
Come on, you.
I don't want you falling over.
1884
01:41:11,650 --> 01:41:13,170
Look at that.
1885
01:41:18,730 --> 01:41:22,330
In Mayan times, only royalty
were allowed to scale the temple.
1886
01:41:22,330 --> 01:41:25,490
I always suspected there was
some blue blood in me somewhere.
1887
01:41:25,490 --> 01:41:28,010
We're queens, darling,
we're queens.
1888
01:41:29,490 --> 01:41:31,130
Queen Sheila and Queen Jane.
1889
01:41:32,890 --> 01:41:36,650
That's been great getting up. Yes.
1890
01:41:36,650 --> 01:41:37,970
How do we get down?
1891
01:41:37,970 --> 01:41:40,730
We have two options, the water slide
1892
01:41:40,730 --> 01:41:43,530
or exactly the same way we came up.
1893
01:41:43,530 --> 01:41:46,530
I wish there was a water slide!
1894
01:41:46,530 --> 01:41:49,250
We didn't think about
getting back down, did we?
1895
01:41:49,250 --> 01:41:51,650
Right then.
1896
01:41:51,650 --> 01:41:54,930
Right. After two weeks, my adventure
around the Caribbean
1897
01:41:54,930 --> 01:41:58,690
is drawing to a close and, as we
sail into our final port,
1898
01:41:58,690 --> 01:42:03,690
it's time for the one and only
aspect of cruising I hate - packing.
1899
01:42:03,690 --> 01:42:05,170
This is definitely the worst bit.
1900
01:42:05,170 --> 01:42:08,490
In fact, I spent most of my life
1901
01:42:08,490 --> 01:42:12,370
packing and unpacking
and washing and ironing.
1902
01:42:12,370 --> 01:42:15,850
I really have tried to pack light.
1903
01:42:15,850 --> 01:42:17,490
I really have tried.
1904
01:42:17,490 --> 01:42:20,610
I mean, really,
I've tried to pack light.
1905
01:42:20,610 --> 01:42:25,370
And then when I get there, I always
buy a load of stuff anyway.
1906
01:42:25,370 --> 01:42:27,970
So I don't know why
I bother, really.
1907
01:42:29,450 --> 01:42:32,210
See I've even brought... Middle of
t'Caribbean, I've brought jumpers.
1908
01:42:34,810 --> 01:42:37,850
We've now reached our last stop,
Cozumel
1909
01:42:37,850 --> 01:42:40,130
and, instead of flying
straight home,
1910
01:42:40,130 --> 01:42:42,050
I've extended my trip for a day
1911
01:42:42,050 --> 01:42:45,730
because, as luck would have it,
we've arrived in time for Carnival.
1912
01:42:47,290 --> 01:42:49,730
I've arranged my own hotel
for the night.
1913
01:42:49,730 --> 01:42:52,930
But of course, your cruise company
can help you with extending
1914
01:42:52,930 --> 01:42:56,770
your trip and make some
recommendations.
1915
01:42:56,770 --> 01:42:58,570
Right.
1916
01:42:58,570 --> 01:42:59,930
Here we go.
1917
01:42:59,930 --> 01:43:01,210
Mexico is calling.
1918
01:43:02,850 --> 01:43:05,890
Cozumel is an island just off
the Mexican coast
1919
01:43:05,890 --> 01:43:08,930
and a popular stop-off for cruise
liners in the region.
1920
01:43:08,930 --> 01:43:11,090
Back when I was working the ships,
1921
01:43:11,090 --> 01:43:12,850
we were here every two weeks.
1922
01:43:12,850 --> 01:43:16,490
20 years may have passed,
but everything feels so familiar.
1923
01:43:16,490 --> 01:43:17,970
So I'm quite excited.
1924
01:43:17,970 --> 01:43:21,530
I've come back and I'm more
of an adventurer now.
1925
01:43:21,530 --> 01:43:23,890
There are eight ships
docked here today.
1926
01:43:23,890 --> 01:43:28,050
That's around 32,000 fellow
passengers all out exploring.
1927
01:43:31,690 --> 01:43:34,410
Everybody's just getting
ready for carnival now.
1928
01:43:34,410 --> 01:43:37,570
And there's already a buzz,
which is lovely.
1929
01:43:37,570 --> 01:43:40,130
I've no idea what
the Carnival's about.
1930
01:43:40,130 --> 01:43:42,410
I have a feeling there
will be copious amounts
1931
01:43:42,410 --> 01:43:45,370
of tequila supped tonight.
1932
01:43:45,370 --> 01:43:47,010
Not by me, obviously.
1933
01:43:49,210 --> 01:43:52,290
For the locals, this is one of
the busiest and most important
1934
01:43:52,290 --> 01:43:54,090
times of the year.
1935
01:43:54,090 --> 01:43:56,610
I could consult the guidebooks
and Internet,
1936
01:43:56,610 --> 01:43:59,610
but I'd rather find out
about it from them instead.
1937
01:43:59,610 --> 01:44:01,330
You ready for Carnival tonight?
1938
01:44:01,330 --> 01:44:02,810
Yeah. Yeah?
1939
01:44:02,810 --> 01:44:04,290
What's it all about, Carnival?
1940
01:44:04,290 --> 01:44:07,290
Well, it's a very old tradition
from the island.
1941
01:44:07,290 --> 01:44:11,170
Religious.
The Bible say the carnival
1942
01:44:11,170 --> 01:44:13,610
is the meat party. A meat party?
1943
01:44:13,610 --> 01:44:16,370
Yeah. For example, from here
to Tuesday, big party.
1944
01:44:16,370 --> 01:44:20,330
You do everything you want and,
supposed, God, he say it's OK.
1945
01:44:20,330 --> 01:44:26,650
OK. Ash Wednesday, they go, say what
bad you do and they give you the ash
1946
01:44:26,650 --> 01:44:33,490
and you're OK and then you have 40
days, no eat meat, no drink nothing.
1947
01:44:33,490 --> 01:44:35,730
So this is your last chance.
1948
01:44:35,730 --> 01:44:37,130
Till Thursday. Yeah.
1949
01:44:37,130 --> 01:44:38,890
With permission from the Lord!
1950
01:44:38,890 --> 01:44:40,010
Yes!
1951
01:44:40,010 --> 01:44:42,410
To have a great time.
Great time. Like everybody.
1952
01:44:42,410 --> 01:44:44,610
Are you ready? I'm ready.
1953
01:44:44,610 --> 01:44:46,930
Thank you so much. You're very
welcome. Thank you very much.
1954
01:44:46,930 --> 01:44:50,330
Thank you. God bless you.
And you too. Gracias. Bye-bye.
1955
01:44:50,330 --> 01:44:52,930
Get wild! You're allowed
to be! Get wild!
1956
01:44:52,930 --> 01:44:56,530
So in other words, it's Cozumel's
version of Pancake Tuesday
1957
01:44:56,530 --> 01:45:01,450
only with meat, sequins,
dancing and a bucket of tequila.
1958
01:45:01,450 --> 01:45:04,890
Boy, am I glad I've booked
an extra day.
1959
01:45:04,890 --> 01:45:07,650
Coming up, I'll meet
some carnival royalty...
1960
01:45:07,650 --> 01:45:10,290
The hand gestures. Oh!
1961
01:45:10,290 --> 01:45:13,530
I love that!
You're the Queen of Happiness.
1962
01:45:13,530 --> 01:45:15,770
..and wallow in
the sights and sounds
1963
01:45:15,770 --> 01:45:17,650
as the party gets under way.
1964
01:45:17,650 --> 01:45:21,040
Oh, I love that beat. Woo!
1965
01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:26,880
I'm on the final leg of
1966
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:29,560
an unforgettable cruise
round the Caribbean
1967
01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:32,360
and, although I was actually
due to fly home today,
1968
01:45:32,360 --> 01:45:34,760
I've put it off for
another 24 hours.
1969
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:37,720
That's cos we're on
the Mexican island of Cozumel,
1970
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:40,440
just as everyone's
getting ready for Carnival.
1971
01:45:40,440 --> 01:45:43,400
Think big celebrations,
big statues
1972
01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:44,640
and big hair.
1973
01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:47,760
This is just so exciting.
1974
01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:50,200
Look at... Gosh, look.
1975
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:54,240
Look how beautiful they all are.
They've all got crowns.
1976
01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:56,960
I think there's more than
one queen at this carnival
1977
01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:59,080
cos there's a lot of crowns.
1978
01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:04,080
Hello. Hola. You are so beautiful.
1979
01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:06,480
Thank you.
Are you the queen of the carnival?
1980
01:46:06,480 --> 01:46:11,360
Yes. I'm Queen of Alegria. Alegria!
Yes. The Queen of the Happiness.
1981
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:12,600
Oh!
1982
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:15,720
I love that! You're the Queen
of Happiness! Yes.
1983
01:46:15,720 --> 01:46:18,960
Oh, you look like you are.
You're so fabulous.
1984
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:20,880
So you're just about to go now.
1985
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:23,360
Yes. At six o'clock. Six o'clock.
1986
01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:26,360
Which float are you on?
1987
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:29,240
Yeah? Yeah, can I? Yes. Wow.
1988
01:46:31,080 --> 01:46:33,280
CHEERING
1989
01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:38,280
Look at this!
Oh, she's a very popular queen.
1990
01:46:42,160 --> 01:46:43,640
This is wonderful.
1991
01:46:43,640 --> 01:46:46,720
This is mine. This is you.
1992
01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:48,640
Oh, my gosh, look at this!
1993
01:46:51,240 --> 01:46:53,400
Wow! CHEERING
1994
01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:55,880
CROWD CHANT
1995
01:46:57,160 --> 01:46:59,920
Fantastic. So will you be up there?
1996
01:46:59,920 --> 01:47:01,760
Yes. In this part.
1997
01:47:01,760 --> 01:47:03,000
Oh, amazing.
1998
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:04,600
Yes. Is it just one queen?
1999
01:47:04,600 --> 01:47:07,400
No, we are three. Three queens?
Three kinds and three queens.
2000
01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:11,280
Oh! Yes, the Queen and King
of Carnival,
2001
01:47:11,280 --> 01:47:13,040
the Queen and King of Happiness,
2002
01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:15,000
the Queen and King of Fantasy. Oh!
2003
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:16,360
Yes, we have three.
2004
01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:19,320
I love that. Fantasy, happiness and
carnival. Yes.
2005
01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:21,480
Hey! My partner.
2006
01:47:21,480 --> 01:47:23,080
Oh, yeah. Hello.
2007
01:47:23,080 --> 01:47:26,640
The King of Happiness.
Oh, it's the King of Happiness.
2008
01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:28,320
Oh, we love that.
2009
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:31,440
Thank you so much. So you're going
to be together up there. Yes.
2010
01:47:31,440 --> 01:47:32,800
How wonderful.
2011
01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:34,080
Fantastic.
2012
01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:37,600
Right, I'll go and I'll wave to you.
Yes.
2013
01:47:37,600 --> 01:47:40,040
So I hope you wave back. OK. OK.
2014
01:47:40,040 --> 01:47:41,560
Have a wonderful carnival.
2015
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:44,120
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
2016
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:46,280
Thank you. Thank you.
2017
01:47:46,280 --> 01:47:48,800
Enjoy! Bye. Bye.
2018
01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:54,400
It's all kicking off now,
2019
01:47:54,400 --> 01:47:57,720
so I'm going to get to my spot
so I can watch the proper parade,
2020
01:47:57,720 --> 01:48:00,200
but how exciting to
come and watch all this
2021
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:01,960
to start all the excitement.
2022
01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:04,240
Come on, let's go.
2023
01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:07,480
The carnival dates back
to the 19th century.
2024
01:48:07,480 --> 01:48:11,920
The vibrant outfits are known
as estudiantinas.
2025
01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:14,520
Wearing them and dancing
in the streets was once
2026
01:48:14,520 --> 01:48:17,000
the only way
the island's young people
2027
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:18,720
could express themselves.
2028
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:20,800
They haven't lost the knack!
2029
01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:23,800
Here's the banner now.
This is the carnival start.
2030
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:29,200
We're in Cozumel and it's Carnival.
Doesn't get any better than this!
2031
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:37,360
Woo!
2032
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:42,680
Oh, I love that beat!
2033
01:48:42,680 --> 01:48:45,000
Just makes you want to dance.
2034
01:48:48,480 --> 01:48:51,160
Here's the queen!
2035
01:48:51,160 --> 01:48:54,760
Who I met earlier. The queen!
2036
01:48:54,760 --> 01:48:56,440
Woo!
2037
01:48:56,440 --> 01:48:58,320
Hello!
2038
01:48:59,480 --> 01:49:00,600
Thank you! Thank you!
2039
01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:05,960
The queen! The queen gave me these!
2040
01:49:09,960 --> 01:49:11,640
They look so fabulous!
2041
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:16,080
What a night, what a trip
2042
01:49:16,080 --> 01:49:19,480
and what a place to end
this incredible cruise.
2043
01:49:19,480 --> 01:49:22,240
What can I say about
Central America?
2044
01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:25,560
It's everything and more
I could have ever dreamed of.
2045
01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:27,720
I've been in a submarine,
2046
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:30,680
I've eaten lots of rum cake,
2047
01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:32,840
I lost my voice.
2048
01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:34,800
I'm just done amazing things.
2049
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:38,160
And just finishing off at Carnival
2050
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:40,480
has been the icing on the cake.
2051
01:49:40,480 --> 01:49:43,320
Central America fills you with
passion,
2052
01:49:43,320 --> 01:49:47,360
it fills you with dance
and rhythm and you feel it.
2053
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:49,560
It's not just a place
that you visit.
2054
01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:52,880
It's a place you feel
when you get here.
2055
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:54,880
Just incredible things happen
2056
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:58,640
and you've got to open up
and let them happen.
2057
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:03,440
This is an amazing place
full of very passionate people,
2058
01:50:03,440 --> 01:50:06,880
and they make you feel
that passion when you come here.
2059
01:50:06,880 --> 01:50:08,400
Oh, and did I mention
2060
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:12,040
they make you feel like
bursting into song as well?
2061
01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:28,200
# Ole, ole, ole, ole
2062
01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:30,000
# Feeling hot, hot, hot
2063
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:35,040
# Feeling hot, hot, hot
2064
01:50:44,720 --> 01:50:46,640
# Me mind on fire
2065
01:50:46,640 --> 01:50:48,280
# Me soul on fire
2066
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:50,240
# Feeling hot, hot, hot
2067
01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:56,240
# All the people all around me
2068
01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:57,520
# Feeling hot, hot, hot
2069
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:03,280
# What to do on a night like this?
2070
01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:05,680
# Music sweet
2071
01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:07,600
# I can't resist
2072
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:11,360
# We need a party song
2073
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:15,920
# A fundamental jam
2074
01:51:15,920 --> 01:51:18,520
# So we rum-bum-bum-bum
2075
01:51:20,320 --> 01:51:22,040
# Yeah, we rum-bum-bum-bum
2076
01:51:24,040 --> 01:51:31,600
# Ole, ole, ole, ole
2077
01:51:32,720 --> 01:51:37,000
# People in the party
Hot, hot, hot
2078
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:41,200
# All the party people
say they're feeling hot
2079
01:51:41,200 --> 01:51:44,560
# You're hot, I'm hot
He's hot, she's hot
2080
01:51:44,560 --> 01:51:47,960
# You're hot, I'm hot
He's hot
2081
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:49,880
# Feeling hot, hot, hot
2082
01:51:52,280 --> 01:51:54,400
# Feeling hot, hot, hot
2083
01:51:55,960 --> 01:52:04,120
# Ole, ole, ole, ole
2084
01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:05,880
# Feeling hot, hot, hot. #
2085
01:52:37,900 --> 01:52:41,940
I'm Jane McDonald and I'm one
of the millions who love to cruise.
2086
01:52:41,940 --> 01:52:43,900
We're gonna have a fab time,
aren't we?
2087
01:52:43,900 --> 01:52:47,820
No matter what type of traveller
you are, there is a cruise to suit.
2088
01:52:47,820 --> 01:52:49,780
It's just magnificent.
2089
01:52:49,780 --> 01:52:53,020
I fell in love with cruising
over 25 years ago,
2090
01:52:53,020 --> 01:52:55,340
starting below deck as a singer,
2091
01:52:55,340 --> 01:52:57,820
and now I'm back as a passenger.
2092
01:52:57,820 --> 01:53:01,260
Oh, it's like a yacht. I feel like
the Queen on the Britannia.
2093
01:53:02,660 --> 01:53:05,380
I'm going to share
everything I know.
2094
01:53:05,380 --> 01:53:09,220
This ship is as wide
as the Statue of Liberty.
2095
01:53:09,220 --> 01:53:11,740
Please remember that everything
that you use this for,
2096
01:53:11,740 --> 01:53:13,940
you're going to pay for
at the end of it.
2097
01:53:13,940 --> 01:53:16,980
I'll make sure your next
cruising holiday is shipshape.
2098
01:53:16,980 --> 01:53:20,180
That's telling me where I am.
I'm very impressed with that.
2099
01:53:20,180 --> 01:53:23,660
So hop on board and enjoy the ride.
2100
01:53:26,060 --> 01:53:29,540
This time I'm leaving my flight
socks at home as I'm cruising
2101
01:53:29,540 --> 01:53:33,100
Britain's most famous river,
the Thames.
2102
01:53:33,100 --> 01:53:35,460
Hiya! Nice to see you.
2103
01:53:35,460 --> 01:53:37,660
Aren't people friendly on the river?
2104
01:53:37,660 --> 01:53:41,620
It's a special trip as I'm bringing
along two of my oldest girlfriends,
2105
01:53:41,620 --> 01:53:43,980
Sue and Olwen, and our mate, Neil.
2106
01:53:45,220 --> 01:53:48,420
The girls are both celebrating
their 70th birthdays
2107
01:53:48,420 --> 01:53:52,380
so I suggested we clump together
and rent our own boat.
2108
01:53:52,380 --> 01:53:54,860
We love to nosey around
old historic buildings...
2109
01:53:54,860 --> 01:53:57,260
Oh, my God, look at this!
2110
01:53:57,260 --> 01:53:59,420
..so we've picked a cruise
that celebrates
2111
01:53:59,420 --> 01:54:01,740
England's great heritage...
2112
01:54:01,740 --> 01:54:03,140
Suits me, doesn't it?
2113
01:54:03,140 --> 01:54:05,140
..and grand estates.
2114
01:54:05,140 --> 01:54:08,660
It looks like it's not real.
It just like that stuff you can buy.
2115
01:54:08,660 --> 01:54:12,860
It's going to be a blissful few days
messing about on the river.
2116
01:54:12,860 --> 01:54:14,100
I know where I'm going.
2117
01:54:14,100 --> 01:54:15,620
JANE LAUGHS
2118
01:54:15,620 --> 01:54:17,500
That's really low!
2119
01:54:28,380 --> 01:54:33,780
I've cruise the greatest waterways
of the world, sailed along the Rhone
2120
01:54:33,780 --> 01:54:38,020
in France and voyaged down
the Danube in Austria,
2121
01:54:38,020 --> 01:54:41,700
but I've never ventured along
one of the UK's most famous rivers -
2122
01:54:41,700 --> 01:54:44,540
the mighty Thames.
2123
01:54:44,540 --> 01:54:48,220
It's easy to just think of the tidal
section - which is the famous bit
2124
01:54:48,220 --> 01:54:50,460
near London Bridge in Westminster -
2125
01:54:50,460 --> 01:54:54,460
but the river is actually
215 miles long.
2126
01:54:56,660 --> 01:55:00,340
The non-tidal section begins
as a trickle in the Cotswolds,
2127
01:55:00,340 --> 01:55:03,660
heads east through the city of
Oxford and then cuts through some
2128
01:55:03,660 --> 01:55:06,940
of England's most beautiful
countryside as it heads
2129
01:55:06,940 --> 01:55:10,780
towards the centre of London
and then out to the North Sea.
2130
01:55:16,300 --> 01:55:19,260
We're heading towards our home
for the next week,
2131
01:55:19,260 --> 01:55:22,460
a luxury floating five-star hotel.
2132
01:55:22,460 --> 01:55:25,580
We picked autumn to come
because it's birthday season
2133
01:55:25,580 --> 01:55:28,780
and it's the perfect time to watch
the leaves changing colours
2134
01:55:28,780 --> 01:55:31,660
and wrap up all cosy
for the chilly weather.
2135
01:55:32,780 --> 01:55:34,980
Oh, we're here.
Is this it?
2136
01:55:34,980 --> 01:55:36,540
Yeah. Where's my bedroom?
2137
01:55:36,540 --> 01:55:40,740
EXCITED LOW CHATTER
2138
01:55:40,740 --> 01:55:41,940
Oh, my word.
2139
01:55:41,940 --> 01:55:44,780
Oh, look, everybody - there! Hello!
2140
01:55:44,780 --> 01:55:46,860
Aw, our crew look lovely -
2141
01:55:46,860 --> 01:55:50,460
Captain Dominic and his wife Katie
on the river cruiser,
2142
01:55:50,460 --> 01:55:53,340
ably assisted by a team of four.
2143
01:55:53,340 --> 01:55:57,340
Hello. Dominic. My wife Katie.
Hello, Katie. Lovely to meet you.
2144
01:55:57,340 --> 01:55:58,980
Lovely to meet you.
2145
01:55:58,980 --> 01:56:01,900
Are we supposed to take some oz
that? Yeah? It would be rude not...
2146
01:56:01,900 --> 01:56:04,540
Thank you so much. You're welcome.
Cheers. To us. Yeah.
2147
01:56:04,540 --> 01:56:06,900
Cheers, everyone.
Sorry you can't join us.
2148
01:56:06,900 --> 01:56:10,380
Mind the gap.
We've not lost anyone yet.
2149
01:56:10,380 --> 01:56:14,620
We don't want to lose you
before you've ever been on board.
2150
01:56:14,620 --> 01:56:18,620
This trip is very popular with our
American friends who, like us,
2151
01:56:18,620 --> 01:56:21,500
want a gentle cruise through the
English countryside
2152
01:56:21,500 --> 01:56:25,060
with a bit of history thrown in.
2153
01:56:25,060 --> 01:56:27,300
Welcome aboard.
Oh, thank you so much.
2154
01:56:27,300 --> 01:56:29,460
Look at this. That's fantastic.
2155
01:56:29,460 --> 01:56:31,780
It's like a posh yacht, innit?
2156
01:56:31,780 --> 01:56:35,140
It is a bit like that.
Yeah. A bit like a river yacht.
2157
01:56:35,140 --> 01:56:37,340
And it's not even my birthday.
2158
01:56:37,340 --> 01:56:40,940
Happy birthday. The longest birthday
in history, this.
2159
01:56:40,940 --> 01:56:43,860
Been going on
since a week last Tuesday!
2160
01:56:43,860 --> 01:56:45,780
Before we set sail... Yeah.
2161
01:56:45,780 --> 01:56:48,500
..we are going to take you on a
little trip around Hampton Court.
2162
01:56:48,500 --> 01:56:51,340
Oh, fabulous. But before that
I was actually going to show you
2163
01:56:51,340 --> 01:56:54,860
your cabin just so you know
where you're going to be living
for the next few days. Yeah.
2164
01:56:54,860 --> 01:56:58,420
We've hired the whole river cruiser
for our little group.
2165
01:56:58,420 --> 01:57:02,020
But you can book your own cabin
and share the ride with new friends.
2166
01:57:03,140 --> 01:57:05,820
Oh, gosh. Is this mine?
This is yours.
2167
01:57:05,820 --> 01:57:08,620
This is the Winston Churchill cabin.
2168
01:57:08,620 --> 01:57:10,820
Well, I didn't expect this.
2169
01:57:10,820 --> 01:57:13,540
I thought it would be a bunk
or a hammock. Not a bad size, is it?
2170
01:57:13,540 --> 01:57:15,860
This way to your en-suite.
2171
01:57:15,860 --> 01:57:18,860
You've got a cupboard here with all
your bits and bobs in. Oh, wow,
2172
01:57:18,860 --> 01:57:22,060
look at this. Another light.
I'm going to leave you to settle it.
2173
01:57:22,060 --> 01:57:24,460
Thank you very much indeed.
2174
01:57:24,460 --> 01:57:28,900
My cabin has all the usual
hotel fittings like phone chargers
2175
01:57:28,900 --> 01:57:32,500
and storage. But the fire exit
is a bit different,
2176
01:57:32,500 --> 01:57:35,300
cos it's quite a way up,
2177
01:57:35,300 --> 01:57:38,460
you've got this little step there.
Oh, it's ladders.
2178
01:57:39,980 --> 01:57:42,860
Oh, that's good, innit? That's it...
Oh!
2179
01:57:42,860 --> 01:57:44,340
SHE LAUGHS
2180
01:57:44,340 --> 01:57:46,460
That's it, got me escape route.
2181
01:57:48,420 --> 01:57:51,780
It's hard to believe that 83 years
ago this was actually
2182
01:57:51,780 --> 01:57:54,660
a working cargo barge in Belgium.
2183
01:57:54,660 --> 01:57:57,620
And even though Dominic
cut ten foot off the length
2184
01:57:57,620 --> 01:58:00,860
to fit into the locks, she's still
the largest river cruiser
2185
01:58:00,860 --> 01:58:03,540
this side of the Thames.
2186
01:58:03,540 --> 01:58:07,060
He also adapted the wheelhouse
to fit under the bridges,
2187
01:58:07,060 --> 01:58:12,060
and my cabin would originally
have been full of gravel and sand.
2188
01:58:12,060 --> 01:58:17,740
Now it's a floating hotel with four
en-suite cabins on the lower deck,
2189
01:58:17,740 --> 01:58:19,740
two doubles at the front,
2190
01:58:19,740 --> 01:58:22,260
and a twin and double at the rear.
2191
01:58:22,260 --> 01:58:26,900
All cabins are accessed via the main
saloon on the top deck, which leads
2192
01:58:26,900 --> 01:58:30,180
to the outside eating area
at the front and the kitchen
2193
01:58:30,180 --> 01:58:32,180
and the wheelhouse at the back.
2194
01:58:33,340 --> 01:58:36,700
Jane? Yeah. Come and have a look
at this. I know, that's...
2195
01:58:36,700 --> 01:58:39,220
SHE GASPS
I know. Believable, innit?
2196
01:58:39,220 --> 01:58:42,660
And you're not having it. I've got
me own. You've got your own.
2197
01:58:42,660 --> 01:58:45,020
Henry V, eh? VIII. Who?
2198
01:58:45,020 --> 01:58:46,740
THEY LAUGH
2199
01:58:46,740 --> 01:58:49,340
Henry VIII.
I've had a glass of champagne.
2200
01:58:49,340 --> 01:58:51,140
And look at this, Jane. What?
2201
01:58:51,140 --> 01:58:53,140
Always very excited about this.
2202
01:58:53,140 --> 01:58:57,380
It's a wardrobe. Oh, you've got
a secret wardrobe. Yeah.
2203
01:58:57,380 --> 01:59:01,420
I was not expecting this.
I'm absolutely blown away.
2204
01:59:01,420 --> 01:59:03,620
I don't know
what I thought I were gonna get.
2205
01:59:03,620 --> 01:59:05,820
I think I thought I were camping
or something.
2206
01:59:05,820 --> 01:59:08,060
Does it say something on the back of
your teddy?
2207
01:59:08,060 --> 01:59:11,380
Now, we haven't had a look at that.
I need me... Oh. What's it say?
2208
01:59:11,380 --> 01:59:14,740
"I would challenge
you to a battle of wits
2209
01:59:14,740 --> 01:59:17,780
"but I see you are unarmed."
2210
01:59:17,780 --> 01:59:21,740
Cheek. That's an insult,
actually, ain't it?
2211
01:59:21,740 --> 01:59:24,780
Yeah, you're unarmed
cos you got no wit.
2212
01:59:24,780 --> 01:59:28,660
Ah! Thanks very much. Oh, well.
It's probably right, though.
2213
01:59:28,660 --> 01:59:31,900
It's got a point.
Well, he obviously was, yeah.
2214
01:59:33,740 --> 01:59:36,380
Oh, wow. Look at this.
2215
01:59:38,220 --> 01:59:41,260
I know you want to move in here,
don't you? Well, you can forget it.
2216
01:59:41,260 --> 01:59:45,460
You should see mine.
We might come and see yours later.
2217
01:59:45,460 --> 01:59:46,860
Yeah, you will do.
2218
01:59:46,860 --> 01:59:48,620
Oh, how the other half live.
2219
01:59:48,620 --> 01:59:53,140
And Neil's double room next door is
all furnished to the same standard,
2220
01:59:53,140 --> 01:59:55,260
with his own en-suite bathroom.
2221
01:59:57,100 --> 01:59:59,980
We're not due to sail
for another couple of hours,
2222
01:59:59,980 --> 02:00:02,980
so we have time
to do some exploring.
2223
02:00:02,980 --> 02:00:05,180
I don't know much about
'Ampton Court
2224
02:00:05,180 --> 02:00:07,540
but thankfully there
are people who do.
2225
02:00:07,540 --> 02:00:10,380
Sarah Jane
is one of the regular boat guides,
2226
02:00:10,380 --> 02:00:12,740
but she's handing over
to history buff Leslie.
2227
02:00:12,740 --> 02:00:16,460
Leslie's going to meet you up in the
grounds. Thank you very much.
2228
02:00:16,460 --> 02:00:18,300
'Enry VIII, here we come.
2229
02:00:18,300 --> 02:00:19,580
Coming up...
2230
02:00:19,580 --> 02:00:21,780
Oh, my God, look at this!
2231
02:00:21,780 --> 02:00:24,300
..we get the royal treatment
on our palace tour.
2232
02:00:24,300 --> 02:00:26,380
Suits me, don't it?
2233
02:00:26,380 --> 02:00:30,780
..and it's anchors aweigh as we set
sail on the first leg of our trip.
2234
02:00:30,780 --> 02:00:32,220
That is gorgeous.
2235
02:00:39,700 --> 02:00:43,060
This time, we're about to embark
on a cruise up the Thames
2236
02:00:43,060 --> 02:00:46,140
to celebrate two of my best friends'
70th birthdays.
2237
02:00:46,140 --> 02:00:49,740
Before we set sail in a couple of
hours, we're on a private tour
2238
02:00:49,740 --> 02:00:51,700
of Hampton Court Palace,
2239
02:00:51,700 --> 02:00:54,780
once home to
the Tudor King Henry VIII.
2240
02:00:54,780 --> 02:00:58,220
Like us, he would have moored his
boat right next to the palace
2241
02:00:58,220 --> 02:01:01,620
as a convenient way
of travelling to London.
2242
02:01:01,620 --> 02:01:04,380
The palace is open to the public
for most of the year,
2243
02:01:04,380 --> 02:01:07,980
with parts of the garden
completely free of charge.
2244
02:01:07,980 --> 02:01:10,900
You will need to purchase a ticket
to look around the palace,
2245
02:01:10,900 --> 02:01:14,300
either with an escorted tour
or under your own steam.
2246
02:01:16,340 --> 02:01:19,060
Hello. Hi. How are you?
2247
02:01:19,060 --> 02:01:23,100
Really well. You must be Leslie. I'm
Leslie and welcome to Hampton Court.
2248
02:01:23,100 --> 02:01:26,300
Thank you. Britain's favourite
palace. Is it really?
2249
02:01:26,300 --> 02:01:28,900
Have you been here before? No.
Great.
2250
02:01:28,900 --> 02:01:31,660
You have a huge treat in store.
Let's go.
2251
02:01:31,660 --> 02:01:34,380
Oh, it's right my type of palace,
this.
2252
02:01:36,060 --> 02:01:39,620
Oh, my God, look at this!
It's amazing!
2253
02:01:39,620 --> 02:01:42,020
This was all built
by Cardinal Wolsey.
2254
02:01:42,020 --> 02:01:45,340
The palace was Cardinal Wolsey's
favourite home
2255
02:01:45,340 --> 02:01:47,940
until Henry VIII
took a shine to it.
2256
02:01:47,940 --> 02:01:51,420
And then he was left with no
choice but to move out.
2257
02:01:51,420 --> 02:01:53,940
241 Tudor chimneys.
2258
02:01:53,940 --> 02:01:56,260
411 altogether.
2259
02:01:56,260 --> 02:01:59,220
That's a lot of chimneys.
Yes. Oh, it's fab!
2260
02:02:00,740 --> 02:02:04,260
Hampton Court is really a tale
of two palaces.
2261
02:02:04,260 --> 02:02:09,140
You have Henry's Tudor palace on one
side, which we're visiting today,
2262
02:02:09,140 --> 02:02:11,620
and the other side,
the Georgian half
2263
02:02:11,620 --> 02:02:13,900
that was completed
in the 17th century.
2264
02:02:15,380 --> 02:02:18,180
We're going to go up into
the Great Hall first,
2265
02:02:18,180 --> 02:02:20,980
and it's absolutely magnificent.
2266
02:02:25,220 --> 02:02:28,780
Oh, my God, look at this.
2267
02:02:28,780 --> 02:02:31,500
Oh, wow!
2268
02:02:31,500 --> 02:02:36,020
Just take a moment to stand here
2269
02:02:36,020 --> 02:02:40,740
and feel the history
of what's gone on.
2270
02:02:40,740 --> 02:02:45,060
It's... I don't know if you can
feel, it's like electricity.
2271
02:02:45,060 --> 02:02:48,660
The Great Hall was the main
social area of the palace
2272
02:02:48,660 --> 02:02:51,980
throughout the centuries,
and as well as the dining area,
2273
02:02:51,980 --> 02:02:55,620
it was also used
for special occasions.
2274
02:02:55,620 --> 02:02:59,420
James I watched Shakespeare's
company perform here,
2275
02:02:59,420 --> 02:03:02,260
up on the stage over here,
and he would have sat exactly here.
2276
02:03:02,260 --> 02:03:03,780
Oh, wow.
2277
02:03:03,780 --> 02:03:06,100
Henry VIII was a bit
of an old romantic
2278
02:03:06,100 --> 02:03:08,980
who loved to mark his weddings
with wood carvings.
2279
02:03:08,980 --> 02:03:11,340
But unfortunately for Anne Boleyn,
2280
02:03:11,340 --> 02:03:14,260
her initials weren't the only thing
that got the chop.
2281
02:03:14,260 --> 02:03:17,700
This is the original screen
and it was made for Anne Boleyn.
2282
02:03:17,700 --> 02:03:20,100
This was all built for Anne Boleyn,
the Great Hall.
2283
02:03:20,100 --> 02:03:22,420
But when Henry had her executed,
2284
02:03:22,420 --> 02:03:24,940
he asked Jane Seymour
to come here and she said,
2285
02:03:24,940 --> 02:03:28,460
"No, I'm not going to come here
till you get rid of everything
to do with Anne Boleyn."
2286
02:03:28,460 --> 02:03:31,980
So in those gaps, there used to be
H's entwined with A's.
2287
02:03:31,980 --> 02:03:33,780
Oh, my goodness.
2288
02:03:33,780 --> 02:03:37,300
But they didn't remove them
in the corners because Henry
2289
02:03:37,300 --> 02:03:39,460
would never have seen them
in the dark corners.
2290
02:03:39,460 --> 02:03:42,300
And so you can still see the H and A
2291
02:03:42,300 --> 02:03:45,780
at the top of the third panel.
Do you see? Oh, yeah.
2292
02:03:45,780 --> 02:03:48,420
I can't believe, you know,
we're in the hall of one
2293
02:03:48,420 --> 02:03:50,700
of the most tyrannical kings
2294
02:03:50,700 --> 02:03:54,460
who just...deleted the wife.
2295
02:03:54,460 --> 02:03:56,940
Just deleted...
In more ways than one. Yes.
2296
02:03:56,940 --> 02:04:01,380
Just like, "Right, that bit's gone.
New ones in."
2297
02:04:01,380 --> 02:04:03,940
I mean, it's not just
painting the front room, is it,
2298
02:04:03,940 --> 02:04:07,860
and getting of photos.
This is like the whole thing.
2299
02:04:10,380 --> 02:04:13,700
Are these the thrones that Henry...?
Yeah. Would you like to sit in one?
2300
02:04:13,700 --> 02:04:15,260
JANE GAPS
2301
02:04:15,260 --> 02:04:19,740
Can I actually...?
I'm going to sit in a throne!
2302
02:04:19,740 --> 02:04:21,740
These are reproduction chairs,
2303
02:04:21,740 --> 02:04:23,940
but it's still an honour to sit
where Henry VIII
2304
02:04:23,940 --> 02:04:26,260
parked his derriere 500 years ago.
2305
02:04:26,260 --> 02:04:28,260
Your Majesty. Thank you so much!
2306
02:04:28,260 --> 02:04:31,100
He would have eaten alone,
off gold, never of pewter.
2307
02:04:31,100 --> 02:04:35,340
Really? Yes. I mean, these are big
bowls, aren't they? I mean...
2308
02:04:35,340 --> 02:04:38,900
They ate twice a day
with two sittings.
2309
02:04:38,900 --> 02:04:41,860
So there were a lot of people
to feed. That's a lot of soup.
2310
02:04:41,860 --> 02:04:45,300
I mean, they ate a lot, though,
didn't they? Oh, massive.
2311
02:04:45,300 --> 02:04:47,500
They ate 5,000 calories a day each
2312
02:04:47,500 --> 02:04:51,180
and a massive three quarters
of that was meat. Yeah. Wow.
2313
02:04:51,180 --> 02:04:52,780
Thank you.
2314
02:04:52,780 --> 02:04:55,780
Probably would have drunk.
Thank you so much.
2315
02:04:57,620 --> 02:05:00,180
Cheers. Carry on.
2316
02:05:00,180 --> 02:05:01,980
Suits me, don't it?
2317
02:05:01,980 --> 02:05:04,380
And with such a rich history here,
2318
02:05:04,380 --> 02:05:08,180
it's no wonder that there have been
tales of some spooky goings on.
2319
02:05:08,180 --> 02:05:10,980
So we're coming in now
into the haunted gallery.
2320
02:05:10,980 --> 02:05:13,300
JANE WAILS LIKE A GHOST
2321
02:05:13,300 --> 02:05:16,260
This is the haunted gallery
because Catherine Howard
2322
02:05:16,260 --> 02:05:20,660
was Henry VIII's fifth wife, and she
had been unfaithful and was arrested
2323
02:05:20,660 --> 02:05:23,980
and eventually executed at the
Tower, but she was imprisoned here,
2324
02:05:23,980 --> 02:05:25,900
managed to escape one night,
2325
02:05:25,900 --> 02:05:28,860
came screaming to
the Holy Day Closet door
2326
02:05:28,860 --> 02:05:32,620
where Henry was praying. She
screamed, "Forgive me!" at the door
2327
02:05:32,620 --> 02:05:34,420
and he refused to answer the door
2328
02:05:34,420 --> 02:05:38,020
and the guards dragged her screaming
back to the Queen's apartments.
2329
02:05:38,020 --> 02:05:41,380
And over the centuries,
people have heard her screams
2330
02:05:41,380 --> 02:05:43,820
and taken days of work
they've been so upset.
2331
02:05:43,820 --> 02:05:47,340
Yeah. Frightened to death.
2332
02:05:47,340 --> 02:05:49,660
It gives you a shiver.
2333
02:05:49,660 --> 02:05:50,740
Right.
2334
02:05:54,500 --> 02:05:59,740
Hampton Court is famous for its 241
Tudor chimneys, but there is only
2335
02:05:59,740 --> 02:06:03,180
one working, and that's here
in the kitchens.
2336
02:06:03,180 --> 02:06:05,860
And this is
Cardinal Wolsey's kitchen
2337
02:06:05,860 --> 02:06:08,820
that he built in 1550. Yeah.
2338
02:06:08,820 --> 02:06:10,340
Oh, look!
2339
02:06:10,340 --> 02:06:14,020
There's a chimney sweep!
Good afternoon. Good afternoon!
2340
02:06:14,020 --> 02:06:16,700
Pleased to meet you, ladies.
And you, too.
2341
02:06:16,700 --> 02:06:19,900
So it's still this old-fashion
way, shove it up the chimney?
2342
02:06:19,900 --> 02:06:24,140
We've got to shove it right
the way to the top, love, yes.
2343
02:06:24,140 --> 02:06:28,020
Nice to meet you. And you, too.
Very nice to meet you. Bye. Bye.
2344
02:06:28,020 --> 02:06:29,420
Well, that was fun.
2345
02:06:29,420 --> 02:06:32,180
Would you like to come and see
the tennis court now? Oh, yeah.
2346
02:06:32,180 --> 02:06:35,860
Henry VIII's... One of his
favourite games. Right, then.
2347
02:06:35,860 --> 02:06:38,420
Right. It's this way.
Anyone for tennis?
2348
02:06:41,700 --> 02:06:45,060
In his younger days,
Henry VIII played real tennis,
2349
02:06:45,060 --> 02:06:48,980
which has different rules
to what we know as lawn tennis.
2350
02:06:48,980 --> 02:06:51,980
Oh! Tennis courts.
2351
02:06:51,980 --> 02:06:54,140
Yeah! Rackets.
2352
02:06:54,140 --> 02:06:55,820
Are we having a game?
2353
02:06:55,820 --> 02:06:58,140
You can have a hit.
I'll have a hit.
2354
02:06:58,140 --> 02:06:59,660
Excellent. Right.
2355
02:06:59,660 --> 02:07:02,260
Well, I'll just go and change
into me...
2356
02:07:02,260 --> 02:07:05,900
That's not exactly gear for tennis.
No, it isn't. OK. Just one moment.
2357
02:07:05,900 --> 02:07:08,460
I'll just nip back to the
boat to change.
2358
02:07:08,460 --> 02:07:11,460
DRUM ROLL
2359
02:07:15,020 --> 02:07:17,780
You look terrific!
2360
02:07:17,780 --> 02:07:20,900
Wonderful, Your Majesty.
Oh, well, you know.
2361
02:07:20,900 --> 02:07:23,220
Well, one has to dress the part.
2362
02:07:23,220 --> 02:07:24,780
It's all that meat.
2363
02:07:24,780 --> 02:07:27,260
Can I use me right 'and?
2364
02:07:27,260 --> 02:07:30,540
Yes, but you need to put it up
the other way. That's upside down.
2365
02:07:30,540 --> 02:07:32,700
Like that?
2366
02:07:32,700 --> 02:07:34,460
That's a good start!
2367
02:07:34,460 --> 02:07:37,540
OK, right. The most important
thing... Is to hit it.
2368
02:07:37,540 --> 02:07:40,900
..it's not going to bounce.
So it doesn't bounce?
2369
02:07:40,900 --> 02:07:43,060
Oh. I told you it didn't bounce.
2370
02:07:43,060 --> 02:07:46,380
Oh, I'm with you. It doesn't bounce.
2371
02:07:47,940 --> 02:07:50,300
Hey! That's terrific!
2372
02:07:50,300 --> 02:07:53,620
I can't believe I'm dropping balls
here on Henry VIII's
2373
02:07:53,620 --> 02:07:56,900
actual tennis court.
If Henry was serving,
2374
02:07:56,900 --> 02:07:59,700
he would have stood where Leslie is,
trying to hit the ball
2375
02:07:59,700 --> 02:08:03,220
between these lines on the ground
known as chasers.
2376
02:08:03,220 --> 02:08:04,740
Up, up.
2377
02:08:04,740 --> 02:08:06,660
Good. Oh, nearly. Good.
2378
02:08:06,660 --> 02:08:07,980
Oh!
2379
02:08:09,340 --> 02:08:12,140
Oh! Whey!
2380
02:08:12,140 --> 02:08:14,500
Oh! Oh!
2381
02:08:14,500 --> 02:08:18,820
I think Jane McDonald I would have
kept him on his royal toes.
2382
02:08:20,500 --> 02:08:23,060
It's been absolutely amazing.
2383
02:08:23,060 --> 02:08:24,740
Thank you so much, Leslie.
2384
02:08:24,740 --> 02:08:28,300
It's been a great pleasure having
you and have a wonderful journey.
2385
02:08:28,300 --> 02:08:29,380
Thank you.
2386
02:08:29,380 --> 02:08:30,980
We only had a couple of hours,
2387
02:08:30,980 --> 02:08:33,860
but you could easily spend a day
or even two here.
2388
02:08:33,860 --> 02:08:35,580
There's so much to see.
2389
02:08:35,580 --> 02:08:37,100
We'll definitely come back.
2390
02:08:37,100 --> 02:08:38,700
Really enjoyed that.
2391
02:08:38,700 --> 02:08:41,180
And we're not that far away
as it only took us
2392
02:08:41,180 --> 02:08:44,260
just over three and a half hours
to get here from Wakefield.
2393
02:08:46,580 --> 02:08:49,860
The first leg of our trip takes us
upstream from Hampton Court
2394
02:08:49,860 --> 02:08:53,460
towards our overnight stop
at Shepperton Lock.
2395
02:08:53,460 --> 02:08:57,100
From there, we cruise on to the
royal setting of Windsor Castle,
2396
02:08:57,100 --> 02:09:00,300
and the next day set sail
towards the beautiful grounds
2397
02:09:00,300 --> 02:09:02,180
of Cliveden House.
2398
02:09:02,180 --> 02:09:05,300
We then set sail towards Hurley,
ending our cruise
2399
02:09:05,300 --> 02:09:09,260
just before the famous rowing town
of Henley-on-Thames.
2400
02:09:14,500 --> 02:09:18,740
And joining us along the way,
we have our own personal crew.
2401
02:09:18,740 --> 02:09:21,860
Captain Dominic and his son Oliver
will be steering the boat
2402
02:09:21,860 --> 02:09:26,900
safely along the River. The
hostesses will be looking after us
2403
02:09:26,900 --> 02:09:30,260
throughout the day with a bit of
chambermaiding thrown in.
2404
02:09:30,260 --> 02:09:34,700
Dominic's wife Katie is helping out
until their baby comes
2405
02:09:34,700 --> 02:09:37,740
and chef Tom will be preparing us
three meals a day,
2406
02:09:37,740 --> 02:09:39,860
starting with today's launch.
2407
02:09:41,060 --> 02:09:43,380
Oh, this isn't all nice, isn't it?
2408
02:09:44,540 --> 02:09:46,580
Can I sit here?
2409
02:09:46,580 --> 02:09:48,220
Yeah, I'll sit on this one.
2410
02:09:48,220 --> 02:09:52,420
Thank you. Oh, smell that bread.
Did you get it, then? I did.
2411
02:09:52,420 --> 02:09:54,900
Can we have some? Yeah, get in.
2412
02:09:54,900 --> 02:09:57,300
Party hat on. Thank you.
2413
02:09:59,580 --> 02:10:02,740
So with each meal you get a
different white and a different red
2414
02:10:02,740 --> 02:10:06,180
and we marry them to your food.
For this lunchtime,
2415
02:10:06,180 --> 02:10:08,260
your white wine comes from Italy.
2416
02:10:08,260 --> 02:10:11,900
This one is from Chile. So it's a
very popular lunchtime wine.
2417
02:10:11,900 --> 02:10:15,340
Perfect for cruising down the Thames
in the afternoon. Fantastic.
2418
02:10:15,340 --> 02:10:16,580
Fill her up. Perfect.
2419
02:10:18,180 --> 02:10:22,420
This is certainly
al fresco dining in style.
2420
02:10:22,420 --> 02:10:24,860
Everybody, enjoy your first
lunch onboard. Oh, thank you.
2421
02:10:24,860 --> 02:10:29,220
I'll go and set sail. Fantastic.
See you soon. Thank you very much.
2422
02:10:29,220 --> 02:10:32,060
Oh... That's lovely.
That's lovely, ain't it?
2423
02:10:38,900 --> 02:10:40,660
And as we get stuck into lunch,
2424
02:10:40,660 --> 02:10:44,500
it's time to set off
on our Thames adventure.
2425
02:10:48,740 --> 02:10:51,420
Posh fish and chips,
certainly, innit?
2426
02:10:51,420 --> 02:10:53,420
Certainly is. Oh, look.
2427
02:10:55,460 --> 02:10:58,380
Look at this, what a life.
I know. What a life.
2428
02:10:58,380 --> 02:11:01,020
I want to keep reminding myself
to have a look around
2429
02:11:01,020 --> 02:11:04,220
while I'm eating.
There's all sorts of little...
2430
02:11:10,380 --> 02:11:13,500
Thank you very much.
Me mouth's watering.
2431
02:11:13,500 --> 02:11:17,740
Oh, lovely. We have a baked Alaska
and I've just garnished that
2432
02:11:17,740 --> 02:11:19,940
with some blackberries,
crushed up Parma Violets
2433
02:11:19,940 --> 02:11:23,700
and a little lemon verbena going
round the outside. Look at that.
2434
02:11:23,700 --> 02:11:25,300
I wasn't expected that.
2435
02:11:28,660 --> 02:11:32,260
I can't believe it's autumn
in the UK and we're sat outside
2436
02:11:32,260 --> 02:11:35,580
eating lunch as the beautiful
English countryside
2437
02:11:35,580 --> 02:11:37,020
floats gently past.
2438
02:11:38,980 --> 02:11:40,580
That Parma Violet...
2439
02:11:40,580 --> 02:11:43,300
I know, it just hits you.
I know. It's really....
2440
02:11:43,300 --> 02:11:45,620
It's really lovely, ain't it? Yeah.
2441
02:11:45,620 --> 02:11:48,620
That's a blast from the past, innit?
It is.
2442
02:11:48,620 --> 02:11:51,700
Those little purple sweets. Yeah.
2443
02:11:51,700 --> 02:11:53,900
Did they have messages on,
or is that Love Hearts?
2444
02:11:53,900 --> 02:11:56,020
That was Love Hearts.
Love Hearts, ain't it?
2445
02:11:59,820 --> 02:12:03,580
Today we're sailing from
Hampton Court to Shepperton Lock
2446
02:12:03,580 --> 02:12:06,500
where we're stopping
for the night.
2447
02:12:06,500 --> 02:12:09,140
There are 16 locks to go through
on our journey
2448
02:12:09,140 --> 02:12:14,060
up this section of the Thames and we
are about to enter our first one.
2449
02:12:15,180 --> 02:12:17,620
You know what we're having
right now, don't you? What?
2450
02:12:17,620 --> 02:12:19,220
We're having a lock-in.
2451
02:12:19,220 --> 02:12:21,500
THEY CHEER AND LAUGH
2452
02:12:21,500 --> 02:12:23,660
Drink to that. Cheers to that.
2453
02:12:23,660 --> 02:12:25,460
We're having a lock-in!
2454
02:12:25,460 --> 02:12:27,620
JANE LAUGHS
2455
02:12:28,860 --> 02:12:31,580
And it's not just the locks
that manage the water levels
2456
02:12:31,580 --> 02:12:33,460
along the River.
2457
02:12:33,460 --> 02:12:38,140
Shepperton Weir. Weir?
There. There?
2458
02:12:38,140 --> 02:12:41,100
"Weir" is it? Weir.
"Weir" is Shepperton?
2459
02:12:41,100 --> 02:12:43,420
There. Oh, is that a swan?
2460
02:12:44,980 --> 02:12:47,780
Or is it... Or is it a big duck?
2461
02:12:47,780 --> 02:12:49,780
THEY LAUGH
2462
02:12:49,780 --> 02:12:54,020
It's great to get this close
to wildlife in its natural habitat,
2463
02:12:54,020 --> 02:12:57,660
but the best bit is being able to
nosy at all the fabulous properties
2464
02:12:57,660 --> 02:13:00,140
that line this section
of the Thames.
2465
02:13:01,460 --> 02:13:03,300
Oh, hello. Look at those.
2466
02:13:03,300 --> 02:13:05,740
Oh, look. Houseboat, you see.
2467
02:13:05,740 --> 02:13:09,380
Yeah. Do you know, I think
I could live on a houseboat.
2468
02:13:09,380 --> 02:13:11,940
Oh, I could. You think you could?
Yeah, definitely.
2469
02:13:11,940 --> 02:13:14,420
I mean, look at that one.
Yeah. That's fantastic.
2470
02:13:14,420 --> 02:13:17,060
Now, that's like something
from when they are steam boats.
2471
02:13:17,060 --> 02:13:18,860
How doing?
2472
02:13:18,860 --> 02:13:20,700
Hi!
2473
02:13:20,700 --> 02:13:23,700
I like the fact that it is quiet.
Mm. Mm.
2474
02:13:23,700 --> 02:13:26,540
And you haven't got traffic noise,
have you? Yeah.
2475
02:13:28,820 --> 02:13:31,140
And so after a relaxing lunch,
2476
02:13:31,140 --> 02:13:34,580
it's time to get down to the
important business of unpacking.
2477
02:13:34,580 --> 02:13:36,380
And because we're in the UK,
2478
02:13:36,380 --> 02:13:38,700
you have to be prepared
for all weathers.
2479
02:13:38,700 --> 02:13:41,900
I pack within an inch of me life.
2480
02:13:41,900 --> 02:13:44,100
Starting with me toiletries.
2481
02:13:44,100 --> 02:13:47,900
I always have me thing,
just lying down,
2482
02:13:47,900 --> 02:13:49,700
and I always have it packed
2483
02:13:49,700 --> 02:13:54,100
with everything that I need
for travelling. And then...
2484
02:13:56,500 --> 02:14:00,980
I have all my trousers rolled up
in there.
2485
02:14:00,980 --> 02:14:02,940
Ten pairs of trousers.
2486
02:14:02,940 --> 02:14:08,540
And that will now go
straight into...a drawer.
2487
02:14:11,540 --> 02:14:12,900
Viola.
2488
02:14:12,900 --> 02:14:15,700
I've already unpacked one case,
2489
02:14:15,700 --> 02:14:19,620
but I've got jackets,
coats for every season.
2490
02:14:19,620 --> 02:14:23,700
I'll put an outfit on a hanger
so that I know what scarf
2491
02:14:23,700 --> 02:14:27,940
goes with what jacket, and then I
know exactly where the trousers are.
2492
02:14:27,940 --> 02:14:30,140
White boots, these I bought
2493
02:14:30,140 --> 02:14:33,620
because you just never know
when you want a little sexy outfit.
2494
02:14:33,620 --> 02:14:36,660
We might do that because
it's the girl's birthday week.
2495
02:14:36,660 --> 02:14:40,820
So I always bring something
a little bit...just in case.
2496
02:14:42,780 --> 02:14:46,100
Coming up...
we settle in for the night
2497
02:14:46,100 --> 02:14:49,260
with some home-made entertainment.
Oh, Jane!
2498
02:14:49,260 --> 02:14:52,740
And it's not long before we have
another royal palace in our sights.
2499
02:14:52,740 --> 02:14:55,860
Oh...
Yes, she is, the flag's flying.
2500
02:14:55,860 --> 02:14:58,540
How excit... The Queen's there.
2501
02:15:03,940 --> 02:15:07,180
I'm on me jollies with me mates
Sue, Olwen and Neil,
2502
02:15:07,180 --> 02:15:10,740
sailing up the Thames
on a river cruiser.
2503
02:15:10,740 --> 02:15:12,900
We all wanted
to do something special
2504
02:15:12,900 --> 02:15:15,140
to mark the girls' 70th birthdays
2505
02:15:15,140 --> 02:15:18,820
so I racked me brains
and came up with...a cruise!
2506
02:15:18,820 --> 02:15:20,980
THEY CHEER AND LAUGH
2507
02:15:20,980 --> 02:15:23,220
My idea is working well
2508
02:15:23,220 --> 02:15:25,580
and we're enjoying spending
quality time together
2509
02:15:25,580 --> 02:15:30,100
as the English countryside
gently glides past.
2510
02:15:30,100 --> 02:15:32,900
Today, we've sailed
for just over six miles
2511
02:15:32,900 --> 02:15:35,380
from Hampton Court
to Shepperton Lock
2512
02:15:35,380 --> 02:15:38,500
where we'll be mooring up
for the night.
2513
02:15:38,500 --> 02:15:41,740
This kind of cruising is a
brand-new experience for me,
2514
02:15:41,740 --> 02:15:45,020
but I'm really enjoying
being closer to home.
2515
02:15:45,020 --> 02:15:46,740
Innit great, this?
2516
02:15:46,740 --> 02:15:49,500
I've not had to get up at
crack of dawn, get to an airport.
2517
02:15:49,500 --> 02:15:51,860
Cos that's the trouble,
you know, when you go abroad,
2518
02:15:51,860 --> 02:15:54,060
there's all that kerfuffle
you've got to go through -
2519
02:15:54,060 --> 02:15:57,780
getting to the airport, getting
on the plane, getting off the plane.
2520
02:15:57,780 --> 02:16:01,380
Getting a taxi. You just pull up
here and get on your barge.
2521
02:16:04,300 --> 02:16:07,860
Shepperton Lock, like all the 45
locks on the Thames,
2522
02:16:07,860 --> 02:16:11,860
has an assigned lock keeper,
and here is Steve Newman.
2523
02:16:14,500 --> 02:16:16,700
Really nice to meet you.
And to you.
2524
02:16:16,700 --> 02:16:20,780
And Steve's happy to let me
have a go at opening the lock.
2525
02:16:20,780 --> 02:16:24,380
So what happens now is Magna Carta
wants to come into the lock. Right.
2526
02:16:24,380 --> 02:16:26,980
You hold your finger
on "Gates Open". Right.
2527
02:16:26,980 --> 02:16:30,140
And then these gates will open
and then the boat will come in.
2528
02:16:30,140 --> 02:16:33,020
Perfect. Do you want to have a go?
Yeah. Hold your finger on that
2529
02:16:33,020 --> 02:16:37,260
"Gates Open" button.
Oh, it's like doing lottery. I know.
2530
02:16:37,260 --> 02:16:39,780
SHE LAUGHS
That's it. Well done.
2531
02:16:39,780 --> 02:16:40,980
Look at this.
2532
02:16:44,820 --> 02:16:47,740
That's lovely. Well done. Thank you.
2533
02:16:47,740 --> 02:16:49,300
Look at that - natural.
2534
02:16:50,820 --> 02:16:52,820
Well, Steve makes it look easy,
2535
02:16:52,820 --> 02:16:56,980
but then he has been working
at this lock for over 46 years.
2536
02:16:57,980 --> 02:17:02,540
If you look over there, Jane, you
can see the flood marks on the wall.
2537
02:17:02,540 --> 02:17:04,700
And the most recent one, what, 2014?
2538
02:17:04,700 --> 02:17:06,940
Yeah, February. Wow.
2539
02:17:06,940 --> 02:17:09,820
Essentially, my job
is to control the water level.
2540
02:17:09,820 --> 02:17:13,740
And I've got two big weirs
that I look after.
2541
02:17:13,740 --> 02:17:17,980
I can get called out any time
of the day, any time of the night.
2542
02:17:17,980 --> 02:17:21,500
Do you your job, though? Yeah, yeah.
It's a nice lifestyle.
2543
02:17:21,500 --> 02:17:23,260
This is a very busy site, this one.
2544
02:17:23,260 --> 02:17:26,220
We probably have about
21, 22,000 boats a year
2545
02:17:26,220 --> 02:17:31,060
coming through here. How many again?
About 21, 22,000 in a year.
2546
02:17:31,060 --> 02:17:33,220
That's a lot of boats.
It's a lot of boats, yeah.
2547
02:17:33,220 --> 02:17:35,980
River locks change the water level,
2548
02:17:35,980 --> 02:17:39,940
allowing the boats to either step up
or step down the river.
2549
02:17:39,940 --> 02:17:42,860
This time we're starting down
and coming up.
2550
02:17:42,860 --> 02:17:45,380
We've got one more button to shut,
which is this one. Yeah.
2551
02:17:45,380 --> 02:17:48,940
So hold your finger on
"Sluices Close". That's it.
2552
02:17:50,300 --> 02:17:52,020
We're putting the plug hole in now.
2553
02:17:52,020 --> 02:17:54,620
Oh, you're putting the plug in,
right. Really and truly, Jane,
2554
02:17:54,620 --> 02:17:56,420
all this lock is, is a big bath.
2555
02:17:56,420 --> 02:17:57,980
Just like turning the tap on.
2556
02:17:57,980 --> 02:18:00,860
I think plug's in now.
You're done. That's it. Well done.
2557
02:18:00,860 --> 02:18:04,780
All finished. Hey, look at that.
You're done. Fantastic.
2558
02:18:04,780 --> 02:18:07,980
Thank you, kind sir. Done my job.
Thank you.
2559
02:18:09,500 --> 02:18:12,500
We're stopping here for the night,
and apart from the telly,
2560
02:18:12,500 --> 02:18:14,860
we have to provide
our own entertainment.
2561
02:18:14,860 --> 02:18:17,380
So with no luggage allowance
to worry about,
2562
02:18:17,380 --> 02:18:21,020
I brought me super-sized Jenga
to keep us amused.
2563
02:18:21,020 --> 02:18:25,220
Shall we do it, then? Who's going
first. Ladies first. Ladies first.
2564
02:18:25,220 --> 02:18:27,060
There you go. Oh, I like it.
2565
02:18:27,060 --> 02:18:28,540
There you go.
2566
02:18:28,540 --> 02:18:30,060
Forget it.
2567
02:18:30,060 --> 02:18:32,740
LAUGHTER
2568
02:18:32,740 --> 02:18:34,700
Neil might be outnumbered,
2569
02:18:34,700 --> 02:18:36,860
but he's still in it to win it.
2570
02:18:36,860 --> 02:18:39,020
Why are you being so awful?
2571
02:18:39,020 --> 02:18:40,260
ALL: Oh!
2572
02:18:40,260 --> 02:18:42,020
LAUGHTER
2573
02:18:42,020 --> 02:18:45,020
Oh, it's like
Leaning Tower of Pizza. "Pizza"?!
2574
02:18:45,020 --> 02:18:46,620
THE LAUGH
2575
02:18:46,620 --> 02:18:50,860
Leaning Tower of Pizza.
Is it a margarita?
2576
02:18:50,860 --> 02:18:53,380
Oh, how did you do that?!
I don't know.
2577
02:18:53,380 --> 02:18:57,180
You can only either push it or pull
it. But not at the same time.
2578
02:18:57,180 --> 02:19:00,620
LAUGHTER
2579
02:19:03,300 --> 02:19:06,580
It was when I pushed...
2580
02:19:06,580 --> 02:19:08,420
Blimey, what a great game.
2581
02:19:09,780 --> 02:19:14,460
That's just too much excitement
for one day. Night, all.
2582
02:19:22,060 --> 02:19:25,500
Morning has broken on day two
of our river cruise,
2583
02:19:25,500 --> 02:19:28,700
and what a brilliant first day
we had at the palace.
2584
02:19:28,700 --> 02:19:31,220
You see, Hampton Court was really
interesting to me
2585
02:19:31,220 --> 02:19:33,900
because I learned a bit more about
Henry VIII
2586
02:19:33,900 --> 02:19:37,580
and how much he loved his food
and how much food he ate.
2587
02:19:37,580 --> 02:19:40,220
I mean, the guy ate 12 courses
in one day.
2588
02:19:40,220 --> 02:19:43,620
And I must admit I'm nearly
there myself on this boat.
2589
02:19:43,620 --> 02:19:46,620
Talking of food,
it's time for breakfast
2590
02:19:46,620 --> 02:19:49,220
and me shipmates
are already tucking in.
2591
02:19:49,220 --> 02:19:51,700
But, thankfully,
with no set eating times,
2592
02:19:51,700 --> 02:19:54,060
we can take as long as we like.
2593
02:19:54,060 --> 02:19:57,060
Blimey, look at this spread.
What are you having?
2594
02:19:57,060 --> 02:19:59,220
LAUGHTER
2595
02:19:59,220 --> 02:20:00,620
You can start at that end, Jane.
2596
02:20:00,620 --> 02:20:03,460
Yeah, I think I will... No, cos
that's the sweet end. Oh, right.
2597
02:20:03,460 --> 02:20:07,660
What's them there? What's that?
Pancakes. Pancakes. Pancakes.
2598
02:20:07,660 --> 02:20:09,660
Lovely, thank you.
2599
02:20:09,660 --> 02:20:12,460
Are you having a pancake now
or are you starting with...?
2600
02:20:12,460 --> 02:20:14,820
I'm not going to start,
I'm going to pace myself.
2601
02:20:14,820 --> 02:20:17,300
You're going to work your way up.
I'll have a pancake.
2602
02:20:17,300 --> 02:20:19,820
Do you know what you've just said
there? I do exactly the same.
2603
02:20:19,820 --> 02:20:22,020
I look up and down, I think,
right, what can I have
2604
02:20:22,020 --> 02:20:24,300
that's going to be different?
Yeah. So then I thought,
2605
02:20:24,300 --> 02:20:27,980
I'll have a boiled egg. Yeah. That's
what I have at home. Is it? Yeah.
2606
02:20:27,980 --> 02:20:30,260
See, I'm always thinking about food.
Is that just me?
2607
02:20:30,260 --> 02:20:32,460
No. No. Absolutely not.
2608
02:20:33,700 --> 02:20:37,220
It's good job we've got some food -
I'm starving.
2609
02:20:37,220 --> 02:20:42,460
Good job that some of me ten pairs
of trousers have elasticated waists.
2610
02:20:42,460 --> 02:20:45,780
Today we are sailing five hours
from Shepperton Lock
2611
02:20:45,780 --> 02:20:47,980
upstream towards Windsor Castle.
2612
02:20:50,660 --> 02:20:52,740
After a quick wash and brush up,
2613
02:20:52,740 --> 02:20:55,420
I'm out on deck to watch the world
sail by.
2614
02:20:57,380 --> 02:20:59,700
Ey, up, what's he doing?
2615
02:20:59,700 --> 02:21:03,420
Hi. Hello. How are you doing?
Is that hard to do?
2616
02:21:03,420 --> 02:21:06,860
Er, no, but it might be
when I get to your waves. Ah!
2617
02:21:06,860 --> 02:21:09,980
OK. Hope it's not too bad for you.
2618
02:21:11,180 --> 02:21:13,740
Look at him, going for it.
2619
02:21:13,740 --> 02:21:16,220
He's very confident -
he's got his jeans on,
2620
02:21:16,220 --> 02:21:19,100
so he's obviously done this...
Ohhh.
2621
02:21:19,100 --> 02:21:22,260
We've all settled in very easily
to life on board.
2622
02:21:22,260 --> 02:21:24,260
Come on, let me show you round.
2623
02:21:26,020 --> 02:21:29,500
Oh, it's nice and cosy in here,
isn't it?
2624
02:21:29,500 --> 02:21:32,020
This is actually one of me
favourite places
2625
02:21:32,020 --> 02:21:34,380
on the whole river yacht.
2626
02:21:34,380 --> 02:21:38,420
It's called the bar.
And it's an open bar.
2627
02:21:38,420 --> 02:21:40,820
You can start drinking
whenever you want
2628
02:21:40,820 --> 02:21:43,260
and finish whenever you want.
2629
02:21:44,860 --> 02:21:47,380
Everything is there.
2630
02:21:47,380 --> 02:21:49,580
What could go wrong with that?
2631
02:21:49,580 --> 02:21:53,660
You know, you can just grab yourself
a sofa, get your magazine out,
2632
02:21:53,660 --> 02:21:56,460
have of a piece of fruit,
if you want some.
2633
02:21:56,460 --> 02:22:01,180
And it's just... It's just got
a real homely feel in here.
2634
02:22:01,180 --> 02:22:03,820
And this table is exceptional.
2635
02:22:03,820 --> 02:22:05,860
This is the dining table.
2636
02:22:05,860 --> 02:22:08,780
And if you notice,
this was especially made
2637
02:22:08,780 --> 02:22:13,860
for this beautiful vessel
and that...is the Thames.
2638
02:22:13,860 --> 02:22:17,500
And we spend a lot of time at this
table as there is a steady stream
2639
02:22:17,500 --> 02:22:20,100
of food coming out of the kitchen.
2640
02:22:20,100 --> 02:22:23,820
Can I come in? Of course you can.
Oh, it smells good in 'ere.
2641
02:22:23,820 --> 02:22:27,660
And Tom keeps everything
shipshape in this tiny space.
2642
02:22:27,660 --> 02:22:30,020
You see, this is a good idea,
as well, isn't it?
2643
02:22:30,020 --> 02:22:32,580
Hanging everything up.
Yeah. Everything's close by
2644
02:22:32,580 --> 02:22:34,260
and I can just grab it
if I need to.
2645
02:22:34,260 --> 02:22:36,140
So show me how it all works, then.
2646
02:22:36,140 --> 02:22:38,940
We've got all my fish that's been
chopped up for lunch. Wow.
2647
02:22:38,940 --> 02:22:41,620
It's there. All my prep fish
is all ready for you.
2648
02:22:41,620 --> 02:22:44,380
I've got some... Oh, look,
it looks like fish sausages.
2649
02:22:44,380 --> 02:22:47,940
Some plaice there. This is how
I pack to go away, actually.
2650
02:22:47,940 --> 02:22:50,260
Oh, is it?
Vac-pack, get the hoover out?
2651
02:22:50,260 --> 02:22:52,500
I don't actually vac-pack it
but I put everything
2652
02:22:52,500 --> 02:22:55,380
in little compartments
so I know exactly where it is,
2653
02:22:55,380 --> 02:22:59,620
so I must get one of them machines
and vac-pack me pants.
2654
02:22:59,620 --> 02:23:02,260
You vac-pack your pants,
you could have even more room.
2655
02:23:02,260 --> 02:23:04,180
Another pair of shoes!
2656
02:23:04,180 --> 02:23:05,980
Up in the wheelhouse,
2657
02:23:05,980 --> 02:23:08,740
skipper Oliver takes turns
with his dad to keep us
2658
02:23:08,740 --> 02:23:11,260
on the straight and narrow.
2659
02:23:11,260 --> 02:23:13,700
Morning. Good morning.
How are you?
2660
02:23:13,700 --> 02:23:16,340
Look at you and your big wheel.
2661
02:23:16,340 --> 02:23:19,940
Can I come aboard? Yes, of course.
Mind your head. Mind me head.
2662
02:23:21,860 --> 02:23:24,260
Oh, yeah!
2663
02:23:24,260 --> 02:23:28,140
Oh, look at... Oh, my God,
you're letting me steer it!
2664
02:23:30,140 --> 02:23:33,260
Oliver's been involved
with the barge since he was a baby
2665
02:23:33,260 --> 02:23:37,500
and is the only person that his dad
actually trusts to take control.
2666
02:23:37,500 --> 02:23:40,020
Right, now, hold it there,
because now she's going to speed up
2667
02:23:40,020 --> 02:23:43,300
in this corner.
Hiya! Nice to see you.
2668
02:23:43,300 --> 02:23:45,100
Sorry, you see, I'm waving to folk.
2669
02:23:45,100 --> 02:23:47,700
Aren't people friendly on the river?
They are.
2670
02:23:47,700 --> 02:23:49,100
This is amazing.
2671
02:23:49,100 --> 02:23:51,700
And you see all this from 'ere.
That's great.
2672
02:23:51,700 --> 02:23:54,500
You've got a great view, actually.
Oh, marvellous.
2673
02:23:54,500 --> 02:23:56,900
Did you always want to be a captain?
2674
02:23:56,900 --> 02:23:59,180
Well, I've grown up on boats.
Yeah.
2675
02:23:59,180 --> 02:24:02,700
And, of course, seeing Dad do it
from a very young age, the moment
2676
02:24:02,700 --> 02:24:07,020
I was tall enough to see above this,
he let me have a go. Oh, wow.
2677
02:24:07,020 --> 02:24:09,020
So, right a bit now. Right a bit.
2678
02:24:09,020 --> 02:24:12,060
Yeah, let people know Jane McDonald
is driving the boat.
2679
02:24:12,060 --> 02:24:13,380
HORN BLASTS
2680
02:24:13,380 --> 02:24:15,740
SHE LAUGHS
2681
02:24:15,740 --> 02:24:19,140
Hey! I wish me bladder
were a bit stronger.
2682
02:24:21,740 --> 02:24:25,620
Floating along the river for pure
pleasure became the norm at the end
2683
02:24:25,620 --> 02:24:30,220
of the 19th century in what's known
as the Golden Age of the Thames.
2684
02:24:30,220 --> 02:24:34,180
It really kicked off in the late
'60s when the motorboat arrived
2685
02:24:34,180 --> 02:24:37,860
and you never knew WHO you might
bump into on the river.
2686
02:24:39,220 --> 02:24:41,820
Our boat tour guide, Sarah Jane,
2687
02:24:41,820 --> 02:24:45,020
lives around here somewhere.
Ah, there she is!
2688
02:24:45,020 --> 02:24:46,660
Ship ahoy!
2689
02:24:46,660 --> 02:24:50,180
So this is yours? Yeah. Gorgeous!
2690
02:24:50,180 --> 02:24:52,820
Enjoy Windsor. We will. Bye!
2691
02:24:52,820 --> 02:24:54,460
We'll catch up with her soon.
2692
02:24:54,460 --> 02:24:56,540
Bye!
2693
02:24:56,540 --> 02:24:59,820
This route takes us very close
to Heathrow Airport,
2694
02:24:59,820 --> 02:25:04,020
but it's still surprisingly peaceful
and a good place for nature watching
2695
02:25:04,020 --> 02:25:05,460
along the river banks.
2696
02:25:05,460 --> 02:25:08,100
I'm glad you're here. I'm just
saying, look at all them nests
2697
02:25:08,100 --> 02:25:10,980
in that tree. You can see them now
the leaves are trying to... Yeah.
2698
02:25:10,980 --> 02:25:14,180
Is that two different trees
growing in one tree?
2699
02:25:14,180 --> 02:25:16,860
Holiday homes for birds.
2700
02:25:16,860 --> 02:25:18,460
Overlooking the river.
2701
02:25:18,460 --> 02:25:19,900
Not quite, Sue.
2702
02:25:19,900 --> 02:25:23,900
Turns out, after a quick look at me
phone, that it's actually mistletoe,
2703
02:25:23,900 --> 02:25:28,140
and just behind those bushes,
I can see Windsor Castle.
2704
02:25:28,140 --> 02:25:30,780
Oh. Yes, the flag's flying.
Yes, she is, the flag's flying.
2705
02:25:30,780 --> 02:25:33,220
How excit... The Queen's there.
2706
02:25:33,220 --> 02:25:36,140
Excuse me, ladies. Yeah. Just
to let you know, lunch is ready,
2707
02:25:36,140 --> 02:25:38,060
if you're ready for it. Oh, lovely.
2708
02:25:38,060 --> 02:25:41,900
Oh, it's not often that one
is wining and dining this close
2709
02:25:41,900 --> 02:25:43,380
to the Queen.
2710
02:25:43,380 --> 02:25:46,780
Thank you. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.
2711
02:25:46,780 --> 02:25:50,580
Up the river.
2712
02:25:50,580 --> 02:25:54,260
Here's to the Queen.
Aye. Oh, cheers. Thank you.
2713
02:25:54,260 --> 02:25:55,780
Do a lot of clanging, don't we?
2714
02:25:55,780 --> 02:25:59,380
Will we try the red? Shall we try
the red? Be rude not to.
2715
02:25:59,380 --> 02:26:02,900
There's no point getting it
if you're not going to try it.
2716
02:26:02,900 --> 02:26:05,900
That smells nice. Yeah, it do.
What's this got hints off?
2717
02:26:05,900 --> 02:26:08,340
Red wine, I think.
2718
02:26:08,340 --> 02:26:11,740
That's all I can smell,
if I'm honest.
2719
02:26:11,740 --> 02:26:15,940
Today we've asked Chef for just one
course instead of the usual three,
2720
02:26:15,940 --> 02:26:18,340
as we're struggling to eat it all.
2721
02:26:18,340 --> 02:26:19,860
Oh. Blimey.
2722
02:26:19,860 --> 02:26:21,540
You see, what they've done now,
2723
02:26:21,540 --> 02:26:24,780
they've just given us
a three-course meal in a bowl.
2724
02:26:24,780 --> 02:26:27,020
This is you cutting down, is it?
2725
02:26:27,020 --> 02:26:29,180
Wow. Thank you. You're welcome.
2726
02:26:29,180 --> 02:26:31,420
I hope this doesn't flake.
2727
02:26:31,420 --> 02:26:34,100
Be interested to know what Her
Majesty's eating at this moment.
2728
02:26:34,100 --> 02:26:36,940
I bet she's not having a Pot Noodle.
Do you not think?
2729
02:26:36,940 --> 02:26:39,500
She's probably having an 'am
sandwich and we're having this.
2730
02:26:39,500 --> 02:26:41,940
Well, yes. You see, you don't know
what she eats.
2731
02:26:41,940 --> 02:26:45,540
And like a true Yorkshireman,
Neil doesn't waste time nattering
2732
02:26:45,540 --> 02:26:47,660
when there's good food on the table.
2733
02:26:49,940 --> 02:26:54,260
With our seafood lunch nicely
digesting, Sue and I are out on deck
2734
02:26:54,260 --> 02:26:56,940
as we cruise towards
our Windsor mooring.
2735
02:26:56,940 --> 02:26:59,700
It's gorgeous today. Perfect day.
2736
02:26:59,700 --> 02:27:03,420
This is our little Venice....
Oh, it's beautiful, ain't it?
2737
02:27:03,420 --> 02:27:06,420
..in the UK. Cos it is pretty,
innit? Look at that.
2738
02:27:06,420 --> 02:27:10,660
It's really nice. I can't believe
we've never seen this.
2739
02:27:10,660 --> 02:27:15,020
Well, travel... I'm ashamed
of myself. You travel miles...
2740
02:27:15,020 --> 02:27:18,220
Are we...? It's getting a bit...
2741
02:27:18,220 --> 02:27:22,020
It's low, that, Jane. Goodbye.
2742
02:27:22,020 --> 02:27:25,500
Are we going to be able
to get under this bridge?
2743
02:27:25,500 --> 02:27:27,340
I know where I'm going.
2744
02:27:30,620 --> 02:27:33,180
JANE LAUGHS
That's really low!
2745
02:27:33,180 --> 02:27:34,780
Flippin' 'eck!
2746
02:27:38,580 --> 02:27:41,620
That were a close shave, that.
It's a good job we sat down!
2747
02:27:41,620 --> 02:27:44,660
I'm thinking, that's not low!
What they talking about?
2748
02:27:44,660 --> 02:27:46,900
That were amazing, weren't it?
2749
02:27:46,900 --> 02:27:48,580
Coming up,
2750
02:27:48,580 --> 02:27:52,820
we discover where the rich and
famous tie the knot in Windsor.
2751
02:27:52,820 --> 02:27:55,500
Elton and David.
Elton John and David Furnish
2752
02:27:55,500 --> 02:27:58,660
they were in there. Look how excited
we were for Elton John. I know.
2753
02:28:04,680 --> 02:28:07,120
I'm sailing down the Thames
on a river cruiser
2754
02:28:07,120 --> 02:28:08,480
in the middle of autumn.
2755
02:28:10,320 --> 02:28:13,560
We've booked the entire boat
to ourselves as a special treat
2756
02:28:13,560 --> 02:28:16,440
to celebrate the girls'
70th birthdays.
2757
02:28:18,040 --> 02:28:22,280
Today, we've sailed 13 miles from
Shepperton Lock to Windsor,
2758
02:28:22,280 --> 02:28:25,520
home to one of the Queen's
favourite castles.
2759
02:28:25,520 --> 02:28:28,440
Oh, thank you so much, gentlemen.
Thank you.
2760
02:28:29,720 --> 02:28:33,960
Windsor is extremely popular, with
tourists visiting this royal town
2761
02:28:33,960 --> 02:28:35,720
from all over the world.
2762
02:28:35,720 --> 02:28:40,640
And there's certainly lots to do
here, like the three-mile-long walk
2763
02:28:40,640 --> 02:28:43,480
with the castle in the distance,
2764
02:28:43,480 --> 02:28:46,400
or finding a good spot at the side
of the road to watch
2765
02:28:46,400 --> 02:28:49,440
the changing of the guards
at certain times of the day.
2766
02:28:51,000 --> 02:28:54,760
You could take a short boat trip
around Windsor, or visit the castle
2767
02:28:54,760 --> 02:28:58,320
itself. It's closed today
as the Queen's in residence,
2768
02:28:58,320 --> 02:29:02,640
so we've booked a walking tour with
town crier and local tour guide
2769
02:29:02,640 --> 02:29:06,840
Chris Brown. We could have had an
inclusive tour with the boat crew,
2770
02:29:06,840 --> 02:29:09,320
but who can resist a man in uniform?
2771
02:29:09,320 --> 02:29:13,320
So you're probably thinking,
"Here's the castle." Yeah.
"Why are we not looking over there?"
2772
02:29:13,320 --> 02:29:15,520
We should be looking
down here cos, actually,
2773
02:29:15,520 --> 02:29:18,840
THIS is the heart of Windsor.
Really? This was Church Street.
2774
02:29:18,840 --> 02:29:22,160
This is where the royals used to
come out of the castle once a week
2775
02:29:22,160 --> 02:29:24,360
to go to church.
It's a beautiful street.
2776
02:29:24,360 --> 02:29:26,760
You can see old cobles.
Is all this original then, Chris?
2777
02:29:26,760 --> 02:29:28,640
A lot of it's changed
over the years.
2778
02:29:28,640 --> 02:29:33,680
For example, this used to be cobbles
as well, but it was wooden cobbles.
2779
02:29:33,680 --> 02:29:35,120
Wooden cobbles?
2780
02:29:35,120 --> 02:29:37,320
You've got to imagine
your queen or the king
2781
02:29:37,320 --> 02:29:39,920
is up there and you don't want
the people of Windsor making
2782
02:29:39,920 --> 02:29:42,200
lots of noise, horses on the cobble.
2783
02:29:42,200 --> 02:29:45,440
So they put wooden cobbles
down here and the volume
2784
02:29:45,440 --> 02:29:48,880
was a lot reduced.
Everybody's happy. Come this way.
2785
02:29:48,880 --> 02:29:51,360
We very famous street round the
corner. Thank you.
2786
02:29:53,200 --> 02:29:55,280
Glad we got comfy shoes on.
2787
02:29:55,280 --> 02:29:58,320
You'll certainly need them
as there is a lot to see on foot
2788
02:29:58,320 --> 02:30:01,840
and you don't want to come a cropper
on the cobbles.
2789
02:30:01,840 --> 02:30:04,040
Prince Harry. Oh, yeah.
2790
02:30:04,040 --> 02:30:07,920
That used to be the Three Tuns
for hundreds of years. Yeah.
2791
02:30:07,920 --> 02:30:12,800
Up until two years ago when Harry
and Meghan got wed and suddenly,
2792
02:30:12,800 --> 02:30:15,600
about two weeks before the wedding,
they changed their name.
2793
02:30:15,600 --> 02:30:18,480
Are they allowed to do that?
Well, apparently, yes.
2794
02:30:18,480 --> 02:30:21,320
And it's done them brilliantly,
cos, if you can imagine,
2795
02:30:21,320 --> 02:30:24,160
we had so many people here
and everybody wanted to drink
2796
02:30:24,160 --> 02:30:25,400
in the Prince Harry. Yeah.
2797
02:30:25,400 --> 02:30:28,400
We thought they'd change
it back afterwards.
2798
02:30:28,400 --> 02:30:30,440
No, why would ya? Exactly.
2799
02:30:30,440 --> 02:30:33,600
This is our Guildhall,
it's also the town hall.
2800
02:30:33,600 --> 02:30:37,040
Upstairs, we have a place
to get married.
2801
02:30:37,040 --> 02:30:40,440
Oh! And we've had a couple
of very famous weddings up there.
2802
02:30:40,440 --> 02:30:43,160
I'll start with the most famous -
the royal wedding. Yeah.
2803
02:30:43,160 --> 02:30:45,960
Prince Charles. Really?
Not the first time. Camilla.
2804
02:30:45,960 --> 02:30:47,400
Camilla and he got married.
2805
02:30:47,400 --> 02:30:51,360
It was here at the Guildhall,
upstairs, here. I never knew that.
2806
02:30:51,360 --> 02:30:54,280
Yeah, well...
You see what I'm leaning today?
2807
02:30:54,280 --> 02:30:56,600
W year later, we changed the law
in this country
2808
02:30:56,600 --> 02:31:00,240
to allow gay civil ceremonies.
Day one - Elton and David turned up.
2809
02:31:00,240 --> 02:31:01,880
Elton John, David Furnish.
2810
02:31:01,880 --> 02:31:04,920
They were in there. Look how excited
we were for Elton John.
2811
02:31:04,920 --> 02:31:06,960
LAUGHTER
2812
02:31:06,960 --> 02:31:09,160
So now... Yeah.
2813
02:31:09,160 --> 02:31:12,600
..I want to show you the very
best thing about Windsor.
2814
02:31:12,600 --> 02:31:16,520
OK. Come on. Lead the way.
Do we need any money?
2815
02:31:16,520 --> 02:31:17,920
JANE LAUGHS
2816
02:31:17,920 --> 02:31:21,160
This, ladies and gentlemen,
is Queen Charlotte Street,
2817
02:31:21,160 --> 02:31:24,840
officially,
at 51 feet and 10 inches long,
2818
02:31:24,840 --> 02:31:28,280
the shortest street in England.
Forget everything else.
2819
02:31:28,280 --> 02:31:30,480
This is the best thing about
Windsor.
2820
02:31:30,480 --> 02:31:33,400
You're being disappointed,
aren't you? I do apologise!
2821
02:31:33,400 --> 02:31:35,160
I mean, whatever floats your boat.
2822
02:31:35,160 --> 02:31:39,400
They would just call that
a ginnel round our way.
2823
02:31:39,400 --> 02:31:43,320
There's still more to see. Is there?
Come on. This way, please. Right.
2824
02:31:43,320 --> 02:31:45,520
You've seen red postboxes.
2825
02:31:45,520 --> 02:31:48,480
You've probably seen green
postboxes, even gold postboxes.
2826
02:31:48,480 --> 02:31:52,760
This is the only blue postbox
in the country. Why is that?
2827
02:31:52,760 --> 02:31:57,440
It commemorates the world's first
scheduled air post service,
2828
02:31:57,440 --> 02:32:00,960
which ran all the way from Hendon,
15 miles away,
2829
02:32:00,960 --> 02:32:03,800
to Windsor back in 1911.
2830
02:32:03,800 --> 02:32:07,160
They certainly take the first class
post seriously round here.
2831
02:32:07,160 --> 02:32:11,880
My favourite point about this
corner here is number 14 over there.
2832
02:32:11,880 --> 02:32:15,520
That door was used in one
of the greatest films of all time.
2833
02:32:15,520 --> 02:32:16,800
Notting Hill?
2834
02:32:16,800 --> 02:32:19,200
Carry On Again, Doctor.
2835
02:32:19,200 --> 02:32:21,800
That was the entrance
to the Dr Nookey's surgery...
2836
02:32:21,800 --> 02:32:24,240
Dr Nookey's surgery!
2837
02:32:24,240 --> 02:32:26,200
Windsor's good, isn't it?
2838
02:32:26,200 --> 02:32:29,240
After all this walking,
I think it's time for a drink
2839
02:32:29,240 --> 02:32:32,440
at Windsor's own microbrewery.
2840
02:32:32,440 --> 02:32:34,080
Thank you very much.
2841
02:32:35,720 --> 02:32:39,160
Here's to royalty. God Save The
Queen. God Save The Queen.
2842
02:32:39,160 --> 02:32:42,280
God Save The Queen.
I'll drink to that.
2843
02:32:43,880 --> 02:32:46,200
And with our bellies full of beer,
2844
02:32:46,200 --> 02:32:50,280
thankfully it's only a short stagger
back to the boat.
2845
02:32:50,280 --> 02:32:53,120
You can do everything
at your own pace on this cruise -
2846
02:32:53,120 --> 02:32:56,320
the boat is yours to do as you wish.
2847
02:32:58,080 --> 02:33:00,280
We could skip dinner if we wanted
2848
02:33:00,280 --> 02:33:02,960
and hop ashore, as all the pubs
and restaurants are right
2849
02:33:02,960 --> 02:33:06,880
on our doorstep
and we don't have to drive.
2850
02:33:06,880 --> 02:33:08,880
Neil's popped off for a pint
2851
02:33:08,880 --> 02:33:12,440
but the bright lights of Windsor
are not tempting us tonight.
2852
02:33:12,440 --> 02:33:15,880
After a busy day on our feet,
me and the girls are powering down
2853
02:33:15,880 --> 02:33:18,320
in our comfy casuals with a cuppa.
2854
02:33:21,000 --> 02:33:23,400
Next time,
we explore the impressive grounds
2855
02:33:23,400 --> 02:33:25,800
at the great Cliveden estate...
2856
02:33:25,800 --> 02:33:27,640
Looks like it's not real, don't it?
2857
02:33:27,640 --> 02:33:30,000
It looks like that stuff
you can buy.
2858
02:33:30,000 --> 02:33:33,360
..and marvel
at the magnificent mosaics.
2859
02:33:33,360 --> 02:33:35,360
Look at this!
2860
02:33:35,360 --> 02:33:38,120
Fancy doing it with the person
that did all this, though.
2861
02:33:39,520 --> 02:33:43,520
I try my hand at some wood
whittling down at the boat yard.
2862
02:33:43,520 --> 02:33:45,560
I'm shaving the flag pole.
2863
02:33:45,560 --> 02:33:47,240
LAUGHTER
2864
02:33:47,240 --> 02:33:49,400
Well, I'm obviously a natural.
2865
02:33:49,400 --> 02:33:50,520
SHE LAUGHS
2866
02:33:53,520 --> 02:33:55,000
# In the middle of the

# In the middle of the night

# I go walking in my sleep
2875
02:34:07,960 --> 02:34:11,120
# From the mountains of faith
The mountains of faith
2876
02:34:11,120 --> 02:34:13,640
# To the river so deep
River so deep
2877
02:34:13,640 --> 02:34:16,480
# I must be looking for something
Looking for something
2878
02:34:16,480 --> 02:34:19,120
# Something sacred I lost
Sacred I lost
2879
02:34:19,120 --> 02:34:21,720
# But the river is wide
Wide
2880
02:34:21,720 --> 02:34:25,600
# And it's too hard to cross
Too hard to cross
2881
02:34:25,600 --> 02:34:27,800
# But even though I know
the river is wide
2882
02:34:27,800 --> 02:34:30,680
# I walk down every evening
and I stand on the shore
2883
02:34:30,680 --> 02:34:33,160
# I try to cross
to the opposite side
2884
02:34:33,160 --> 02:34:36,280
# So I can finally find
what I've been looking for
2885
02:34:36,280 --> 02:34:39,040
# In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
2886
02:34:39,040 --> 02:34:41,960
# I go walking in my sleep
I go walking in my sleep

02:34:41,960 --> 02:34:44,360
# Through the valley of fear
Valley of fear
2888
02:34:44,360 --> 02:34:47,200
# To a river so deep
River so deep
2889
02:34:47,200 --> 02:34:50,040
# I've been searching for something
Searching for something
2890
02:34:50,040 --> 02:34:52,720
# Taken out of my soul
Taken out of my soul
2891
02:34:52,720 --> 02:34:55,240
# Something I'd never lose
Never lose
2892
02:34:55,240 --> 02:34:59,000
# Something somebody stole
Something somebody stole
2893
02:34:59,000 --> 02:35:01,000
# I don't know why
I go walking at night
2894
02:35:01,000 --> 02:35:04,400
# But now I'm tired
and I don't want to walk any more
2895
02:35:04,400 --> 02:35:06,600
# I hope it doesn't take
the rest of my life
2896
02:35:06,600 --> 02:35:09,640
# Until I find what it is
that I've been looking for
2897
02:35:11,120 --> 02:35:12,760

# I go walking in the

# I go walking in the

# In the middle of the night

02:35:24,840 --> 02:35:27,280
# I go walking in my sleep

02:35:27,280 --> 02:35:29,800
# Through the desert of truth
Desert of truth
2908
02:35:29,800 --> 02:35:32,200
# By the river of dreams

02:35:32,200 --> 02:35:35,400
# In the middle of the night. #
2910
02:36:07,700 --> 02:36:11,780
I'm Jane McDonald, and I've spent my
life sailing the globe.
2911
02:36:11,780 --> 02:36:13,940
It's fantastic! I love it.
2912
02:36:15,180 --> 02:36:18,540
25 years ago, I started my
travelling career as a singer
2913
02:36:18,540 --> 02:36:21,500
on the cruise ships and now I've
swapped my dressing room
2914
02:36:21,500 --> 02:36:25,900
for a state room, as I carry on
cruising as a passenger.
2915
02:36:25,900 --> 02:36:28,620
Owner's Suite - yes!
2916
02:36:28,620 --> 02:36:30,820
I've learned so much...
2917
02:36:30,820 --> 02:36:34,380
How do you feel?
Erm, surprisingly OK.
2918
02:36:34,380 --> 02:36:37,220
..and visited some amazing places.
2919
02:36:37,220 --> 02:36:40,100
Looking for tarantulas.
Why?!
2920
02:36:40,100 --> 02:36:43,900
Because we're here. Why would you
look for a tarantula?!
2921
02:36:43,900 --> 02:36:47,980
So now I want to share all my
travel tips with you.
2922
02:36:47,980 --> 02:36:50,140
Oh, yeah, that's telling me
where I am.
2923
02:36:50,140 --> 02:36:51,700
I'm very impressed with that.
2924
02:36:51,700 --> 02:36:55,940
All you have to do is sit back,
relax and enjoy the ride.
2925
02:36:55,940 --> 02:36:57,580
We are sailing!
2926
02:37:00,660 --> 02:37:05,060
This time, I'm on the second leg of
my cruise sailing up the Thames
2927
02:37:05,060 --> 02:37:08,500
to celebrate two of my best
friend's 70th birthdays.
2928
02:37:09,580 --> 02:37:11,500
Ooh, hello! Look at those!
2929
02:37:11,500 --> 02:37:14,420
Oh, look, a houseboat, you see?
Yeah. Yeah.
2930
02:37:14,420 --> 02:37:16,300
Do you know, I think I could
live on a houseboat.
2931
02:37:16,300 --> 02:37:17,740
Oh, I could.
2932
02:37:17,740 --> 02:37:20,660
We wanted to holiday together
in the UK,
2933
02:37:20,660 --> 02:37:24,220
so we clubbed together and booked a
private river cruiser.
2934
02:37:24,220 --> 02:37:25,980
Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!
2935
02:37:25,980 --> 02:37:29,020
Cheers! Here we go again.
Up the river!
2936
02:37:29,020 --> 02:37:31,820
It's a gentle, relaxing trip,
where we can enjoy
2937
02:37:31,820 --> 02:37:35,660
the English countryside and
soak up some history.
2938
02:37:35,660 --> 02:37:37,980
Right, the most important thing...
Is to hit it.
2939
02:37:37,980 --> 02:37:40,140
It's not going to bounce.
So, it doesn't bounce?
2940
02:37:41,500 --> 02:37:43,100
Oh! I told you didn't bounce.
2941
02:37:43,100 --> 02:37:45,820
They don't bounce. We've got 72
balls. Oh, I'm with you.
2942
02:37:54,420 --> 02:37:57,220
The Thames is one of Britain's most
famous rivers,
2943
02:37:57,220 --> 02:38:01,980
meandering its way for 215 miles
from the Cotswolds to the coast.
2944
02:38:03,500 --> 02:38:07,220
I always thought of the Thames as
the famous bit round London,
2945
02:38:07,220 --> 02:38:10,180
but we're discovering there's so
much more to see
2946
02:38:10,180 --> 02:38:12,020
from our river cruiser.
2947
02:38:12,020 --> 02:38:14,540
Ooh, that were a close shave, that!
It's a good job we sat down!
2948
02:38:14,540 --> 02:38:17,140
It was. I'm thinking,
that's not low!
2949
02:38:17,140 --> 02:38:19,980
We set sail in the middle
of autumn to coincide
2950
02:38:19,980 --> 02:38:22,220
with the girls' 70th birthdays.
2951
02:38:22,220 --> 02:38:24,660
But it's also the perfect time of
year to enjoy
2952
02:38:24,660 --> 02:38:26,420
the leaves changing colour.
2953
02:38:26,420 --> 02:38:29,060
Hiya! Nice to see ya!
2954
02:38:29,060 --> 02:38:32,900
Sorry, you see, I'm waving to folk.
Aren't people on the river?!
2955
02:38:32,900 --> 02:38:35,740
Our cruise started from Hampton
Court after a fascinating trip
2956
02:38:35,740 --> 02:38:38,100
around the palace.
2957
02:38:38,100 --> 02:38:41,220
I can't believe, you know,
we're in the hall and the home
2958
02:38:41,220 --> 02:38:44,180
of one of the most tyrannical kings,
2959
02:38:44,180 --> 02:38:48,060
who just...deleted their wife!
2960
02:38:48,060 --> 02:38:50,340
Just deleted... In more ways than
one!
2961
02:38:50,340 --> 02:38:52,060
Yeah!
2962
02:38:52,060 --> 02:38:55,900
And then, up through Shepperton Lock
on onto Windsor,
2963
02:38:55,900 --> 02:38:58,260
where we followed in the
steps of royalty.
2964
02:38:59,460 --> 02:39:01,780
This is the heart of Windsor.
Really?
2965
02:39:01,780 --> 02:39:03,740
This was Church Street.
2966
02:39:03,740 --> 02:39:06,060
This is where the royals used to
come out of the castle,
2967
02:39:06,060 --> 02:39:08,220
once a week, to go to church.
2968
02:39:08,220 --> 02:39:10,420
Plus, we've never stopped eating...
2969
02:39:10,420 --> 02:39:12,020
That is gorgeous!
2970
02:39:13,220 --> 02:39:14,620
..or drinking!
2971
02:39:16,100 --> 02:39:17,980
And there's still more to come.
2972
02:39:20,180 --> 02:39:23,340
We're on board a four-birth
river cruiser that started life
2973
02:39:23,340 --> 02:39:26,860
as a working Belgian cargo
barge 83 years ago.
2974
02:39:28,100 --> 02:39:31,660
The boat has been lovingly
transformed into a floating hotel
2975
02:39:31,660 --> 02:39:34,340
by Captain Dominic and his son,
Oliver.
2976
02:39:35,420 --> 02:39:38,580
SHE LAUGHS INCREDULOUSLY
Well, I didn't expect this!
2977
02:39:38,580 --> 02:39:41,220
I thought it would be a bunk
or a hammock.
2978
02:39:41,220 --> 02:39:44,500
And every bit of space has certainly
being utilised.
2979
02:39:44,500 --> 02:39:46,420
And look at this, Jane.
2980
02:39:46,420 --> 02:39:48,500
Oh, she's very excited about this!
2981
02:39:48,500 --> 02:39:50,940
Oh! It's a wardrobe. Oh, you've got
a secret wardrobe.
2982
02:39:50,940 --> 02:39:53,220
A little hide-away. Wardrobe, yeah.
2983
02:39:53,220 --> 02:39:56,260
It has four en suite cabins
on the lower deck,
2984
02:39:56,260 --> 02:40:00,180
with two doubles at the front and a
twin and double at the rear.
2985
02:40:00,180 --> 02:40:02,580
All cabins lead up to the main
living room,
2986
02:40:02,580 --> 02:40:06,380
which leads to an outside seating
area at the front and kitchen
2987
02:40:06,380 --> 02:40:08,500
and wheelhouse at the back.
2988
02:40:13,340 --> 02:40:16,220
It's the morning of our third day
and we're waking up
2989
02:40:16,220 --> 02:40:20,660
at our mooring, right below Windsor
Castle in the heart of the town.
2990
02:40:20,660 --> 02:40:23,980
Good morning. Come in, my lovely!
2991
02:40:23,980 --> 02:40:27,020
Some breakfast for you to start the
day. Oh, that's fantastic.
2992
02:40:27,020 --> 02:40:28,900
Oh, you haven't got a cup of tea,
have you?
2993
02:40:28,900 --> 02:40:30,860
I'll go and get you one right away.
2994
02:40:30,860 --> 02:40:32,620
Oh, do you mind much?
Absolutely not.
2995
02:40:32,620 --> 02:40:34,500
That'd be smashing,
thank you so much!
2996
02:40:35,860 --> 02:40:38,220
I'm stopping in my cabin for now,
as I'm not quite ready
2997
02:40:38,220 --> 02:40:41,220
for my close-up, but the birthday
girls are up,
2998
02:40:41,220 --> 02:40:43,340
dressed and tucking into the spread.
2999
02:40:46,100 --> 02:40:49,220
A river cruise like this is a great
way to see the nooks and crannies
3000
02:40:49,220 --> 02:40:53,460
of England that you wouldn't
normally see from the roads.
3001
02:40:53,460 --> 02:40:57,180
I can't believe that we're only
20 minutes from Heathrow Airport
3002
02:40:57,180 --> 02:41:00,220
and just a few minutes' walk
from the centre of town.
3003
02:41:00,220 --> 02:41:02,620
It's so quiet and peaceful here.
3004
02:41:02,620 --> 02:41:04,620
Even the swans are on mute.
3005
02:41:06,980 --> 02:41:09,580
And while I got me brew, we're
pulling up the gangplank
3006
02:41:09,580 --> 02:41:11,300
and setting sail.
3007
02:41:11,300 --> 02:41:12,700
SWANS HONK
3008
02:41:15,180 --> 02:41:18,100
Today, we're travelling from
Windsor Castle,
3009
02:41:18,100 --> 02:41:20,820
stopping at the waterside in at
Bray for lunch
3010
02:41:20,820 --> 02:41:23,460
and then on to Cliveden for our
overnight stop.
3011
02:41:25,460 --> 02:41:29,100
Our river cruiser is the biggest
boat this side of the Thames,
3012
02:41:29,100 --> 02:41:31,860
which means that it can't always
park up on a mooring
3013
02:41:31,860 --> 02:41:34,220
if the water is too shallow.
3014
02:41:34,220 --> 02:41:37,140
That's the case today, as we set off
for a birthday lunch treat
3015
02:41:37,140 --> 02:41:39,140
for the girls.
3016
02:41:39,140 --> 02:41:42,180
So the crew have arranged for us to
transfer to a smaller boat.
3017
02:41:42,180 --> 02:41:43,660
See you later!
3018
02:41:43,660 --> 02:41:45,580
It's like being in Venice.
3019
02:41:48,460 --> 02:41:51,900
Well, we don't have a gondola,
but we do have a little 1960s
3020
02:41:51,900 --> 02:41:54,540
motorboat called the Fringilla.
3021
02:41:54,540 --> 02:41:57,180
She's owned by our skipper
Will's family,
3022
02:41:57,180 --> 02:42:00,820
who've been working on the Thames
for the past 30 years.
3023
02:42:00,820 --> 02:42:03,500
A lovely way to commute to our
restaurant.
3024
02:42:03,500 --> 02:42:05,540
And what a way to arrive!
I know.
3025
02:42:05,540 --> 02:42:08,220
Oh, come on, you know?! You do feel,
cos I know we're in Windsor
3026
02:42:08,220 --> 02:42:10,620
and it's on the Thames,
but we actually do feel a bit
3027
02:42:10,620 --> 02:42:12,300
like royalty on here, don't we?
3028
02:42:12,300 --> 02:42:13,780
It's very...it's posh, isn't it?
3029
02:42:13,780 --> 02:42:16,300
Very posh. What we call posh up
north. Very posh!
3030
02:42:17,340 --> 02:42:20,220
There call it posh everywhere, Sue.
3031
02:42:20,220 --> 02:42:23,500
We are just about to eat in a
three-star Michelin restaurant
3032
02:42:23,500 --> 02:42:25,780
and there are only five in the UK.
3033
02:42:25,780 --> 02:42:29,020
Assistant Manager Dean is
waiting to greet us.
3034
02:42:29,020 --> 02:42:31,660
Hello. there. Hi, good afternoon.
Welcome to The Waterside Inn.
3035
02:42:31,660 --> 02:42:34,340
Table Awaits.
Thank you very much. Please.
3036
02:42:34,340 --> 02:42:37,020
This lunch isn't included
in our cruise,
3037
02:42:37,020 --> 02:42:39,900
but the crew often suggest different
places to eat or drink
3038
02:42:39,900 --> 02:42:42,940
along the way if you fancy
a change of scene.
3039
02:42:42,940 --> 02:42:45,820
I know! I've heard all about
this place.
3040
02:42:45,820 --> 02:42:49,100
You have, we're going to find out.
Thank you.
3041
02:42:49,100 --> 02:42:50,780
INDISTINCT CHATTER
3042
02:42:50,780 --> 02:42:54,260
The restaurant was opened 48 years
ago by the late Chef Patron,
3043
02:42:54,260 --> 02:42:57,780
Michel Roux, who I met on the
cruises
3044
02:42:57,780 --> 02:43:00,340
and has now passed it on
to his son, Alain.
3045
02:43:02,300 --> 02:43:05,420
The whole of the Roux family are
like a cooking dynasty -
3046
02:43:05,420 --> 02:43:10,260
what they don't know about French
cuisine is not worth knowing.
3047
02:43:10,260 --> 02:43:12,740
Lovely little bites from the chef
to start lunch. Thank you.
3048
02:43:12,740 --> 02:43:15,500
We've got a pork terrine,
and then we've got a little
3049
02:43:15,500 --> 02:43:18,460
snail and duck barbajuan
with parsley.
3050
02:43:18,460 --> 02:43:20,700
I'm just going to have one
of each
3051
02:43:20,700 --> 02:43:23,620
because I'm sure they're going
to be gorgeous.
3052
02:43:23,620 --> 02:43:26,820
Thank you. Oh, that little one, Sue,
is a bit like a pork pie!
3053
02:43:26,820 --> 02:43:28,340
HE CHUCKLES
3054
02:43:28,340 --> 02:43:30,260
A little mustard on top as well.
Oh!
3055
02:43:30,260 --> 02:43:34,740
You see that, this little pork
terrine here,
3056
02:43:34,740 --> 02:43:38,980
it's got all the ingredients of a
really good pork pie.
3057
02:43:38,980 --> 02:43:41,940
Cos it's got pork bits,
a bit of jelly,
3058
02:43:41,940 --> 02:43:44,780
a bit of that, so I think that's
a pork pie.
3059
02:43:47,500 --> 02:43:49,700
CRUNCHES
3060
02:43:53,540 --> 02:43:55,220
I'm just going to go.
3061
02:43:55,220 --> 02:43:57,260
And now for the snail.
3062
02:43:57,260 --> 02:44:00,220
I can't pronounce what I'm eating
but it does taste posh!
3063
02:44:00,220 --> 02:44:01,580
Mm!
3064
02:44:03,100 --> 02:44:07,620
To be honest, I could just eat
a whole tray of pork pie
3065
02:44:07,620 --> 02:44:09,980
and snail vol-au-vents.
3066
02:44:11,140 --> 02:44:12,420
Ooh!
3067
02:44:12,420 --> 02:44:14,460
I've got Jane on mine!
3068
02:44:14,460 --> 02:44:16,420
Oh, I've got Olwen on mine.
That's good.
3069
02:44:17,820 --> 02:44:21,300
The main restaurant is next door
overlooking the Thames,
3070
02:44:21,300 --> 02:44:23,580
but we've asked to sit in the
private dining room
3071
02:44:23,580 --> 02:44:25,420
for a special reason.
3072
02:44:25,420 --> 02:44:28,500
Isn't it true, though, that the
Queen has been in this room?
3073
02:44:28,500 --> 02:44:31,060
The Queen, royalty? Yeah...
Sat right here.
3074
02:44:31,060 --> 02:44:33,380
Yeah. Bet she didn't come
in a puffer jacket, do you?!
3075
02:44:33,380 --> 02:44:35,540
Well, I didn't like to say owt,
Sue, but...!
3076
02:44:35,540 --> 02:44:37,540
SHE LAUGHS
3077
02:44:37,540 --> 02:44:39,780
Would you like a plain or rye flour
roll, madam?
3078
02:44:39,780 --> 02:44:41,860
Uh, the most healthy.
3079
02:44:41,860 --> 02:44:44,300
Hm. Let's go with rye.
Rye, thank you.
3080
02:44:44,300 --> 02:44:45,740
It's your fault now!
3081
02:44:45,740 --> 02:44:47,100
THEY LAUGH
3082
02:44:48,220 --> 02:44:51,580
I'm normally on the big cruise ships
meeting new friends,
3083
02:44:51,580 --> 02:44:55,420
but this trip has been all about
quality time with some old ones.
3084
02:44:56,500 --> 02:44:59,580
You know, every so often in our
lives,
3085
02:44:59,580 --> 02:45:02,860
we have a moment, don't we, that
we want to remember forever?
3086
02:45:04,500 --> 02:45:08,220
And I never thought in a million
years I would be sat here
3087
02:45:08,220 --> 02:45:10,700
on your two birthdays...
3088
02:45:10,700 --> 02:45:12,820
I'm going! Don't start!
3089
02:45:14,020 --> 02:45:16,660
And this is what it's all about.
3090
02:45:16,660 --> 02:45:19,500
It's all about making memories,
3091
02:45:19,500 --> 02:45:22,900
and it's all about having the people
that you love around you.
3092
02:45:24,380 --> 02:45:25,860
And I'm so thrilled.
3093
02:45:26,940 --> 02:45:28,980
So thrilled...
3094
02:45:28,980 --> 02:45:30,900
I've gone! ..that you're here.
3095
02:45:30,900 --> 02:45:33,500
So, here's to friendship.
3096
02:45:33,500 --> 02:45:35,660
Here's to friendship, yeah.
Friendship.
3097
02:45:35,660 --> 02:45:37,300
Oh, dear!
3098
02:45:39,180 --> 02:45:41,540
Oh. I know!
3099
02:45:41,540 --> 02:45:43,580
That's us done. I know.
3100
02:45:43,580 --> 02:45:45,180
SHE LAUGHS
3101
02:45:45,180 --> 02:45:48,180
Quick, where's that food?!
3102
02:45:48,180 --> 02:45:50,380
Thanks. So, Jane. Mm-hm.
3103
02:45:50,380 --> 02:45:53,220
I've served you a roasted loin of
venison. Yes.
3104
02:45:53,220 --> 02:45:57,460
Which is wrapped in a puff pastry,
Wellington style,
3105
02:45:57,460 --> 02:46:01,380
and it's served with suede,
seasonal wild mushrooms,
3106
02:46:01,380 --> 02:46:03,820
mainly girolle at the moment.
Mm-hm.
3107
02:46:03,820 --> 02:46:07,820
Hermitage wine sauce with
some little blackcurrants.
3108
02:46:07,820 --> 02:46:10,540
Well, I hope you enjoy it.
I will. I'll bring you more sauce.
3109
02:46:10,540 --> 02:46:13,260
Oh, I love all this saucy talk,
Alain!
3110
02:46:13,260 --> 02:46:14,900
I do like me gravy!
3111
02:46:14,900 --> 02:46:16,340
THEY LAUGH
3112
02:46:18,780 --> 02:46:21,620
Behind-the-scenes, there are more
than 25 chefs working
3113
02:46:21,620 --> 02:46:25,540
in the kitchens, trained under
Alain's watchful eye.
3114
02:46:25,540 --> 02:46:30,020
But this isn't the only three
Michelin star restaurant in town.
3115
02:46:30,020 --> 02:46:34,220
Fellow Chef Patron Heston Blumenthal
is just a few doors down
3116
02:46:34,220 --> 02:46:36,780
and he has three Michelin stars too.
3117
02:46:36,780 --> 02:46:39,940
Oh! Oh! Must something in the
water around here!
3118
02:46:39,940 --> 02:46:42,100
That's the naughty plate
of the house.
3119
02:46:42,100 --> 02:46:43,580
I'm glad you've chosen that.
3120
02:46:43,580 --> 02:46:45,020
Mm-mmm!
3121
02:46:45,020 --> 02:46:46,900
That's chestnut. Mm!
3122
02:46:46,900 --> 02:46:49,100
And it actually tastes like Baileys.
3123
02:46:49,100 --> 02:46:50,780
But all good things must come
to an end.
3124
02:46:50,780 --> 02:46:52,180
What an amazing day!
3125
02:46:52,180 --> 02:46:53,900
..and it's time to head back
to the river.
3126
02:46:53,900 --> 02:46:55,500
Thank you so much!
3127
02:46:55,500 --> 02:46:58,340
See you soon in Bray on Thames.
I certainly hope so!
3128
02:46:58,340 --> 02:47:00,620
Thank you, Jane. Mwah! Au revoir.
Take care. Bon voyage.
3129
02:47:00,620 --> 02:47:03,060
Ah, merci. Bye-bye.
3130
02:47:03,060 --> 02:47:06,180
Oh-la-lark at me getting
into the lingo!
3131
02:47:06,180 --> 02:47:08,460
I'm just glad we don't have to
worry about getting back
3132
02:47:08,460 --> 02:47:10,060
to the river cruiser.
3133
02:47:11,900 --> 02:47:15,620
Coming up, it's bubble trouble
as we get steamy in the hot tub.
3134
02:47:15,620 --> 02:47:18,780
We need a drink! Oh, wow!
3135
02:47:18,780 --> 02:47:22,980
And we are spellbound by the magical
atmosphere at the Cliveden estate.
3136
02:47:22,980 --> 02:47:24,820
Wow. I know.
3137
02:47:24,820 --> 02:47:28,180
Fancy doing it, the person that did
all this, though!
3138
02:47:37,460 --> 02:47:40,020
I'm on a UK cruise sailing up
the Thames
3139
02:47:40,020 --> 02:47:41,860
in the middle of autumn.
3140
02:47:41,860 --> 02:47:44,460
It's a special time as my two
girlfriends celebrate
3141
02:47:44,460 --> 02:47:47,980
their 70th birthdays,
along with our mate Neil.
3142
02:47:47,980 --> 02:47:51,740
We're all a bit giddy
after our boozy lunch back in Bray.
3143
02:47:51,740 --> 02:47:53,900
Wooooo!
3144
02:47:53,900 --> 02:47:55,660
BOAT TOOTS
3145
02:48:00,540 --> 02:48:03,140
Oh, it's just little things in life
that make you happy,
3146
02:48:03,140 --> 02:48:05,020
like screaming under a bridge!
3147
02:48:06,660 --> 02:48:10,060
If you'd told me that I would be
about to jump into a hot tub
3148
02:48:10,060 --> 02:48:12,900
on the back of a river cruiser
sailing down the Thames
3149
02:48:12,900 --> 02:48:17,140
in the middle of October,
I would have told you to jog on.
3150
02:48:17,140 --> 02:48:19,460
Right. Oh, Jane! I'm going in.
3151
02:48:19,460 --> 02:48:22,020
Oh, my God! I can't believe we're
doing this after a big lunch.
3152
02:48:22,020 --> 02:48:24,420
You go first, Jane, you go first.
Oh!
3153
02:48:24,420 --> 02:48:26,820
Oh, it's like a bath.
3154
02:48:26,820 --> 02:48:28,820
Oh, it's red hot!
3155
02:48:28,820 --> 02:48:30,300
Gorgeous! It's red hot.
3156
02:48:30,300 --> 02:48:32,500
SHE LAUGHS DELIGHTEDLY
3157
02:48:32,500 --> 02:48:35,500
But, you know me
- I'll try anything once!
3158
02:48:37,140 --> 02:48:39,500
Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
3159
02:48:41,660 --> 02:48:43,620
Isn't it lovely, this?!
3160
02:48:43,620 --> 02:48:45,300
Isn't it fabulous, this?!
3161
02:48:45,300 --> 02:48:47,260
We need a drink.
Oh, wow!
3162
02:48:47,260 --> 02:48:50,100
Oh, great. I want a few of these
bubbles. Yeah.
3163
02:48:50,100 --> 02:48:52,660
Ooh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
3164
02:48:52,660 --> 02:48:54,660
Look at that!
3165
02:48:54,660 --> 02:48:56,580
Get you going! Like a massage, this.
3166
02:48:56,580 --> 02:48:58,460
You're going...you're going up
and down.
3167
02:48:58,460 --> 02:49:01,780
Yeah, because you can let the jets
go up and down your body.
3168
02:49:01,780 --> 02:49:03,660
Oh! You get what I mean?!
3169
02:49:03,660 --> 02:49:04,940
THEY LAUGH
3170
02:49:04,940 --> 02:49:07,100
Oh! Oh, 'ey up.
3171
02:49:08,380 --> 02:49:10,900
Right. Oh, be careful.
Shall we pass them across?
3172
02:49:10,900 --> 02:49:12,820
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
3173
02:49:12,820 --> 02:49:14,500
Thank you very much. Oh! Lovely!
3174
02:49:14,500 --> 02:49:15,980
Thank you.
3175
02:49:15,980 --> 02:49:18,140
This has been great.
It's just been amazing.
3176
02:49:18,140 --> 02:49:19,420
It really has.
3177
02:49:19,420 --> 02:49:20,940
Hello! Yoo-hoo!
3178
02:49:20,940 --> 02:49:22,580
Hello!
3179
02:49:22,580 --> 02:49:25,260
We're causing quite a stir
with the locals.
3180
02:49:25,260 --> 02:49:27,020
Bye! We're on the move.
3181
02:49:27,020 --> 02:49:29,460
Lovely to meet you.
3182
02:49:30,900 --> 02:49:32,620
Lovely to see you.
3183
02:49:32,620 --> 02:49:34,420
It's hard work this, you know!
3184
02:49:36,820 --> 02:49:41,020
As the sun sets, we can just make
out tonight's stopover.
3185
02:49:41,020 --> 02:49:43,980
That's Cliveden House. Yeah, lovely.
3186
02:49:43,980 --> 02:49:47,220
That's where Meghan Markle...
3187
02:49:47,220 --> 02:49:49,620
..got married. Oh, really? You know,
when she was staying.
3188
02:49:49,620 --> 02:49:51,540
What, getting ready? Yeah.
Oh.
3189
02:49:51,540 --> 02:49:53,900
Getting herself all ready
for Prince Harry.
3190
02:49:53,900 --> 02:49:56,380
Well, we're not staying in a fancy
hotel tonight,
3191
02:49:56,380 --> 02:49:58,780
but we're quite happy with our
river cruiser,
3192
02:49:58,780 --> 02:50:01,780
which will be moored up just below
the Cliveden estate.
3193
02:50:05,100 --> 02:50:07,900
It's so quiet down here that we're
making the most
3194
02:50:07,900 --> 02:50:09,860
of the still night air.
3195
02:50:09,860 --> 02:50:12,500
Oh! It's nearly winter.
Yeah.
3196
02:50:12,500 --> 02:50:14,740
And we're sat outside. Outside.
I know. Mm.
3197
02:50:14,740 --> 02:50:16,500
It's fantastic, isn't it? Yeah.
3198
02:50:16,500 --> 02:50:19,180
It's a really relaxed way of life,
this, isn't it?
3199
02:50:19,180 --> 02:50:21,500
Oh, without a doubt.
Yeah, anything you want.
3200
02:50:21,500 --> 02:50:23,180
Hot chocolates for you.
Oh! Oh, wow!
3201
02:50:23,180 --> 02:50:25,340
You've twisted our arm.
Look at them!
3202
02:50:25,340 --> 02:50:27,380
Thank you. Thank you.
3203
02:50:27,380 --> 02:50:29,580
I love a marshmallow.
3204
02:50:29,580 --> 02:50:31,780
Well, it's a dessert, this,
isn't it?
3205
02:50:31,780 --> 02:50:33,380
Ooh! It certainly is.
3206
02:50:33,380 --> 02:50:36,100
The question is, do you eat it
or drink it?
3207
02:50:36,100 --> 02:50:38,020
Both! Well, yeah, each to their own.
3208
02:50:38,020 --> 02:50:39,420
I'm just dipping mine in.
3209
02:50:39,420 --> 02:50:41,700
Squash them down. Yeah, lovely!
3210
02:50:41,700 --> 02:50:43,020
Mm! Mm!
3211
02:50:44,940 --> 02:50:46,860
It's a real treat, this.
3212
02:50:46,860 --> 02:50:48,580
Oh, absolutely!
3213
02:50:50,140 --> 02:50:51,940
I'm so relaxed, I think
I'll be asleep
3214
02:50:51,940 --> 02:50:53,700
before my head hits the pillow.
3215
02:50:53,700 --> 02:50:55,300
Night, all.
3216
02:50:55,300 --> 02:50:57,420
Goodnight. Sweet dreams.
3217
02:51:02,860 --> 02:51:05,380
It's day four, and after a peaceful
night's sleep
3218
02:51:05,380 --> 02:51:08,900
and a hearty breakfast, it's time
to explore Cliveden -
3219
02:51:08,900 --> 02:51:11,980
The National Trust estate that was
once owned by the super rich
3220
02:51:11,980 --> 02:51:14,140
American family, the Astors.
3221
02:51:15,220 --> 02:51:17,100
See you later. Bye!
Thank you.
3222
02:51:17,100 --> 02:51:19,420
Oh, hello! Good morning!
It's a nice little welcome.
3223
02:51:19,420 --> 02:51:22,060
Yes, thank you so much.
3224
02:51:22,060 --> 02:51:23,820
Oh, I'm on land!
3225
02:51:23,820 --> 02:51:26,180
I'm on land! Good morning.
Good morning.
3226
02:51:26,180 --> 02:51:27,860
Thank you very much.
3227
02:51:27,860 --> 02:51:32,780
And it's good to catch up again with
our boat guide, Sarah Jane.
3228
02:51:32,780 --> 02:51:34,980
She's going to walk us around
the grounds
3229
02:51:34,980 --> 02:51:37,260
and as our boat is moored down at
river level,
3230
02:51:37,260 --> 02:51:39,140
the only way is up.
3231
02:51:39,140 --> 02:51:41,700
172 steps.
3232
02:51:41,700 --> 02:51:44,860
But it's fine. It's worth it
when we get to the top.
3233
02:51:44,860 --> 02:51:47,900
I don't think I was expecting that.
Come on then. Let's do it.
3234
02:51:50,740 --> 02:51:53,900
Oh, I have to stop.
Just a step change!
3235
02:51:53,900 --> 02:51:55,300
THEY LAUGH
3236
02:51:55,300 --> 02:51:57,860
Oh, dear! I like that.
Ooh!
3237
02:51:57,860 --> 02:52:00,020
I'm going to have to stop in a
minute.
3238
02:52:00,020 --> 02:52:01,940
OK. I'm going to have... Wait here.
3239
02:52:01,940 --> 02:52:03,980
..one big buttock!
3240
02:52:03,980 --> 02:52:05,820
Um, how are you doing, ladies?
Oh, fine.
3241
02:52:05,820 --> 02:52:07,660
Oh, yeah. Fine. Absolutely fine.
3242
02:52:07,660 --> 02:52:10,420
Following up at the rear, we're
fine. Did the Astors do this?
3243
02:52:10,420 --> 02:52:12,460
They did. But, do you know,
Queen Victoria,
3244
02:52:12,460 --> 02:52:14,620
when she came here to visit
Duchess of Sutherland,
3245
02:52:14,620 --> 02:52:16,140
she had a pushing stick?
3246
02:52:16,140 --> 02:52:18,660
So, somebody would be behind her and
it would go around her back
3247
02:52:18,660 --> 02:52:20,100
and they'd push her up.
3248
02:52:20,100 --> 02:52:21,980
That's a good idea!
Yeah, that's what we need.
3249
02:52:21,980 --> 02:52:24,580
Yeah, definitely. Have we got...
I'll get Dominic to make one.
3250
02:52:24,580 --> 02:52:27,260
Have we got someone? Yeah, have we
got someone who could push us up?
3251
02:52:27,260 --> 02:52:29,460
Shall we just carry on, then?
Yeah.
3252
02:52:29,460 --> 02:52:31,740
Carry on regardless. Rested?
Not many more to go.
3253
02:52:33,380 --> 02:52:34,780
Oh, gosh! Oh, my word!
3254
02:52:34,780 --> 02:52:36,940
How are you so fit?!
3255
02:52:36,940 --> 02:52:39,900
172 steps later...
3256
02:52:39,900 --> 02:52:43,300
Well, Sarah Jane was right -
it's certainly worth it.
3257
02:52:47,980 --> 02:52:50,420
Look at this. Oh, wow!
3258
02:52:50,420 --> 02:52:52,260
Isn't it incredible?
3259
02:52:55,660 --> 02:52:57,780
Looks glorious, look at the colours!
I know.
3260
02:52:59,540 --> 02:53:01,980
America talk about the fall
and we've got it...
3261
02:53:01,980 --> 02:53:05,740
We've got it right here.
..here, haven't we?
3262
02:53:05,740 --> 02:53:08,340
That's worth that climb up there.
It really is worth it, isn't it?
3263
02:53:08,340 --> 02:53:10,020
It really is, isn't it?
3264
02:53:10,020 --> 02:53:11,620
Wow.
3265
02:53:11,620 --> 02:53:14,260
And this beautiful spot is where
the Astor family
3266
02:53:14,260 --> 02:53:16,900
created their chapel of rest.
3267
02:53:16,900 --> 02:53:18,700
Come and have a look.
It's beautiful.
3268
02:53:18,700 --> 02:53:20,340
Yeah. Numbers are really limited.
3269
02:53:20,340 --> 02:53:21,860
OK, thank you.
3270
02:53:21,860 --> 02:53:24,020
Just two of us, yeah? Yes.
Thank you very much.
3271
02:53:24,020 --> 02:53:26,340
OK, wipe your feet. Yeah.
3272
02:53:26,340 --> 02:53:27,900
Oh, look at this. I know.
3273
02:53:27,900 --> 02:53:29,700
That's gorgeous.
3274
02:53:31,060 --> 02:53:32,820
Look at this!
3275
02:53:35,340 --> 02:53:37,940
Fancy doing it, the person that did
all this, though!
3276
02:53:40,860 --> 02:53:44,140
That is so incredibly beautiful. Mm.
3277
02:53:44,140 --> 02:53:46,060
On our doorstep, Sue. I know.
3278
02:53:47,780 --> 02:53:49,980
I know. It's unbelievable, isn't it?
I know.
3279
02:53:49,980 --> 02:53:52,460
The things that we haven't done
in our lifetime. I know. I know.
3280
02:53:52,460 --> 02:53:54,340
In our own country.
3281
02:53:54,340 --> 02:53:56,460
It's ridiculous, really.
Yeah, it is.
3282
02:53:59,140 --> 02:54:01,220
So, this is the Octagon Temple.
3283
02:54:01,220 --> 02:54:04,340
It was originally built as a
tea room by the Earl of Orkney,
3284
02:54:04,340 --> 02:54:06,540
but then 160 years later,
3285
02:54:06,540 --> 02:54:09,260
Lord Astor turned it into a
private chapel.
3286
02:54:09,260 --> 02:54:11,460
The mosaics took four years.
3287
02:54:11,460 --> 02:54:13,900
The story of Christ and the
Old Testament,
3288
02:54:13,900 --> 02:54:17,140
and it's the final resting
place of the Astors here.
3289
02:54:17,140 --> 02:54:18,580
Oh, wow!
3290
02:54:20,060 --> 02:54:21,620
Beautiful.
3291
02:54:27,380 --> 02:54:30,980
The Astor family owned Cliveden for
nearly 50 years
3292
02:54:30,980 --> 02:54:33,660
and the old part of the house is
still occasionally open
3293
02:54:33,660 --> 02:54:36,140
to the public.
3294
02:54:36,140 --> 02:54:40,020
During the 1930s, the house parties
were legendary
3295
02:54:40,020 --> 02:54:43,420
and it wouldn't have been unusual to
bump into Charlie Chaplin
3296
02:54:43,420 --> 02:54:47,740
or playwright George Bernard Shaw
on the terrace.
3297
02:54:47,740 --> 02:54:50,700
The parties came to an abrupt
ending in the '60s,
3298
02:54:50,700 --> 02:54:54,220
when married high profile politician
John Profumo
3299
02:54:54,220 --> 02:54:57,620
met young model Christine Keeler
by the swimming pool
3300
02:54:57,620 --> 02:55:00,500
and the scandal rocked the country.
3301
02:55:00,500 --> 02:55:04,060
Shortly after that, the National
Trust took over the estate
3302
02:55:04,060 --> 02:55:08,020
and in 1995, part of the house
was turned into a hotel,
3303
02:55:08,020 --> 02:55:11,220
where you can book afternoon tea
if you are not a resident.
3304
02:55:13,940 --> 02:55:16,140
We're not quite ready
for more food yet,
3305
02:55:16,140 --> 02:55:19,460
so we're sticking with a lovely
walk around the grounds.
3306
02:55:19,460 --> 02:55:23,020
Yes, so this is the Parterre
and it covers six acres.
3307
02:55:23,020 --> 02:55:26,580
What's parterre? The garden turns
where they laid out in this box
3308
02:55:26,580 --> 02:55:29,380
hedge forms, in geometrical shapes.
3309
02:55:30,460 --> 02:55:33,180
Isn't it incredible? I've never
seen anything like this, at all.
3310
02:55:33,180 --> 02:55:35,860
See our own back yard used to have
an old Ford Cortina in it.
3311
02:55:37,540 --> 02:55:40,740
You know! Yeah, slightly different.
There's not an engine in sight.
3312
02:55:41,820 --> 02:55:44,020
I'm just at them hedges.
It's just immaculate.
3313
02:55:44,020 --> 02:55:47,340
Cos I've quite a cheap hedge cutter
and I'm thinking,
3314
02:55:47,340 --> 02:55:50,300
I bet he's not using mine. No.
3315
02:55:50,300 --> 02:55:52,740
That's a proper corner on that,
isn't it?!
3316
02:55:52,740 --> 02:55:54,900
Oh, I've just got to have
a feel of this hedge.
3317
02:55:54,900 --> 02:55:56,700
Just... Oh, it's so smooth.
3318
02:55:56,700 --> 02:55:58,260
How do they do that?
3319
02:55:58,260 --> 02:56:00,660
That's...it looks like it's not
real, doesn't it? It does.
3320
02:56:00,660 --> 02:56:03,220
It looks like that stuff you can
buy, like fake lawn. Yeah.
3321
02:56:03,220 --> 02:56:05,700
But it's not real, it's real,
isn't it? That's amazing.
3322
02:56:05,700 --> 02:56:07,700
That's a well trimmed bush, that.
3323
02:56:07,700 --> 02:56:09,060
A work of art.
3324
02:56:09,060 --> 02:56:10,940
Next! A work of art.
3325
02:56:10,940 --> 02:56:13,740
The estate is 376 acres,
3326
02:56:13,740 --> 02:56:17,780
with 100 acres of formal grounds,
looked after by a 100 staff
3327
02:56:17,780 --> 02:56:19,940
and 300 volunteers.
3328
02:56:19,940 --> 02:56:21,540
This is amazing.
3329
02:56:21,540 --> 02:56:23,740
It's beautiful, isn't it?
Oh, yeah!
3330
02:56:24,980 --> 02:56:26,460
Wow.
3331
02:56:26,460 --> 02:56:27,900
I love this.
3332
02:56:27,900 --> 02:56:29,500
Look at this.
3333
02:56:29,500 --> 02:56:31,660
Listen to the sound, Jane.
Oh, wow.
3334
02:56:31,660 --> 02:56:32,940
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
3335
02:56:32,940 --> 02:56:34,780
SHE HITS A HIGH NOTE
3336
02:56:34,780 --> 02:56:36,380
Yeah.
3337
02:56:36,380 --> 02:56:38,580
That's a long reverb, isn't it?!
Isn't it beautiful?
3338
02:56:38,580 --> 02:56:40,500
So they did things like...
3339
02:56:40,500 --> 02:56:42,220
CLEARS THROAT
3340
02:56:42,220 --> 02:56:44,340
SHE HUMS GREENSLEEVES
3341
02:56:47,060 --> 02:56:50,260
That sound is unbelievable!
3342
02:56:52,020 --> 02:56:54,860
So, what did they use the sound for?
3343
02:56:54,860 --> 02:56:57,140
Well, they don't know, but they
presume an orchestra
3344
02:56:57,140 --> 02:56:58,820
or something would be in here.
3345
02:56:58,820 --> 02:57:01,020
So, it was like a sound system?
Yes, exactly.
3346
02:57:01,020 --> 02:57:02,660
That's amazing.
3347
02:57:04,460 --> 02:57:06,980
Now have a look at the Parterre.
Oh!
3348
02:57:06,980 --> 02:57:08,700
Oh, that's fantastic.
3349
02:57:08,700 --> 02:57:10,100
Gosh. Incredible.
3350
02:57:11,420 --> 02:57:13,220
That is just stunning.
3351
02:57:13,220 --> 02:57:14,980
And the air, just smell that air!
3352
02:57:16,420 --> 02:57:18,260
Yeah. It really is, isn't it?
3353
02:57:18,260 --> 02:57:20,940
My God, there's some money here,
isn't' there? I know.
3354
02:57:20,940 --> 02:57:23,620
This balustrade here is from the
Borghese Villa.
3355
02:57:23,620 --> 02:57:25,780
Really?! Ooh! Yeah, brought across
by Astor.
3356
02:57:25,780 --> 02:57:27,300
I thought you said Asda!
3357
02:57:27,300 --> 02:57:29,420
THEY LAUGH
No, not Asda!
3358
02:57:34,820 --> 02:57:36,820
The Fountain of Love is gorgeous,
isn't it?
3359
02:57:36,820 --> 02:57:39,020
It that was it's called,
the Fountain of Love?
3360
02:57:39,020 --> 02:57:41,020
The Fountain of Love, it's
the Fountain of Love. Aw!
3361
02:57:41,020 --> 02:57:42,940
That is incredible, isn't it?
3362
02:57:42,940 --> 02:57:45,500
It is, and this is where...
Meghan stayed here, obviously,
3363
02:57:45,500 --> 02:57:47,020
the night before her wedding.
3364
02:57:47,020 --> 02:57:48,580
I was doing a tour and I passed her.
3365
02:57:48,580 --> 02:57:50,500
I was on the way out,
she was on the way.
3366
02:57:50,500 --> 02:57:52,060
Oh, did you go, "Hiya!"?
3367
02:57:52,060 --> 02:57:53,860
No cars there, though.
Have a nice day!
3368
02:57:53,860 --> 02:57:55,740
No cars, all the cars were cleared.
3369
02:57:55,740 --> 02:57:57,700
That's...that's amazing, that,
isn't it?
3370
02:57:57,700 --> 02:58:00,140
Did they picture the fountain, then,
did they...? They did.
3371
02:58:00,140 --> 02:58:01,820
Everybody in the world saw the
fountain.
3372
02:58:01,820 --> 02:58:04,540
You know, I didn't actually see
whether they pictured the fountain
3373
02:58:04,540 --> 02:58:06,500
but I imagine they did because the
water was blue
3374
02:58:06,500 --> 02:58:09,140
when I came and had a look. Blue?!
I'd never seen it blue before.
3375
02:58:09,140 --> 02:58:12,180
My goodness.
Everything for the telly! Yeah.
3376
02:58:14,380 --> 02:58:17,900
You can spend hours exploring the
grounds, including William Astor's
3377
02:58:17,900 --> 02:58:20,020
Japanese-inspired water garden.
3378
02:58:21,700 --> 02:58:23,660
Oh, gosh, it's beautiful!
3379
02:58:25,260 --> 02:58:28,380
Oh, isn't it lovely?
Isn't it glorious?
3380
02:58:28,380 --> 02:58:29,740
That's sensation.
3381
02:58:29,740 --> 02:58:31,700
Look at all the colours. Oh!
3382
02:58:31,700 --> 02:58:33,980
That's what I love about
this time of year.
3383
02:58:35,140 --> 02:58:37,060
Colours are amazing, aren't they?
3384
02:58:37,060 --> 02:58:40,540
Red, look at that red. Yeah,
the reds and the golds
3385
02:58:40,540 --> 02:58:42,300
and the greens and the browns.
3386
02:58:43,860 --> 02:58:45,580
This is the... I mean, that's
the beauty,
3387
02:58:45,580 --> 02:58:47,100
you can come here any time of year.
3388
02:58:47,100 --> 02:58:49,860
You really can. You really can.
And it'll look stunning.
3389
02:58:51,700 --> 02:58:56,140
Like all good ideas, this garden
started small with the duck pond,
3390
02:58:56,140 --> 02:58:59,140
and then when the Oriental Pagoda
landed from Paris,
3391
02:58:59,140 --> 02:59:01,540
the whole Japanese theme
really took off.
3392
02:59:03,740 --> 02:59:06,060
In winter, the pond was used
as a skating rink
3393
02:59:06,060 --> 02:59:08,700
to entertain passing guests.
3394
02:59:08,700 --> 02:59:10,700
My friends think they're lucky
if they got a brew
3395
02:59:10,700 --> 02:59:12,980
when they pop round!
3396
02:59:12,980 --> 02:59:15,180
So, you enjoyed Cliveden?
Oh, yes! Really loved it.
3397
02:59:15,180 --> 02:59:17,540
Loved it! Thank you so much,
Sarah Jane. Thank you.
3398
02:59:17,540 --> 02:59:19,380
BELL TINKLES
Oh. Oh! Just in time.
3399
02:59:19,380 --> 02:59:20,660
THEY LAUGH
3400
02:59:20,660 --> 02:59:22,940
That was the bell to go
back to the boat.
3401
02:59:31,380 --> 02:59:35,300
Time to bid farewell as we set sail
down Cliveden Reach,
3402
02:59:35,300 --> 02:59:38,220
known as one of the prettiest spots
on the Thames.
3403
02:59:48,380 --> 02:59:50,860
The Victorians and Edwardians
had cottoned on to
3404
02:59:50,860 --> 02:59:52,740
this stretch as well.
3405
02:59:54,740 --> 02:59:58,900
One day, in 1894, there were over
1,000 boats here.
3406
02:59:59,940 --> 03:00:02,380
Thankfully, it's a bit
quieter today.
3407
03:00:09,900 --> 03:00:12,100
Neil, can you take them?
Yeah, with pleasure.
3408
03:00:12,100 --> 03:00:14,420
Coming up, some retail therapy on
dry land...
3409
03:00:14,420 --> 03:00:16,020
Oh, I love a shop, I love a shop!
3410
03:00:16,020 --> 03:00:17,420
I love a shop!
3411
03:00:17,420 --> 03:00:19,580
..and the birthday celebrations
continue.
3412
03:00:19,580 --> 03:00:21,740
ALL: Surprise!
3413
03:00:31,700 --> 03:00:34,860
This time, I'm sailing up the Thames
in the middle of autumn
3414
03:00:34,860 --> 03:00:37,900
to celebrate my two best
friends' birthdays.
3415
03:00:39,860 --> 03:00:42,780
We've been very lucky with the
weather at this time of year,
3416
03:00:42,780 --> 03:00:45,420
and I've even ventured out
on deck without my coat.
3417
03:00:48,060 --> 03:00:50,740
Today, we've sailed from Cliveden,
with our next stop
3418
03:00:50,740 --> 03:00:53,660
at the village of Cookham, and then
we're heading onto Hurley
3419
03:00:53,660 --> 03:00:55,420
for the night.
3420
03:01:00,380 --> 03:01:03,580
This stunning part of the river was
the inspiration for the famous
3421
03:01:03,580 --> 03:01:06,340
children's book
The Wind in the Willows.
3422
03:01:06,340 --> 03:01:08,020
And I can see why.
3423
03:01:08,020 --> 03:01:10,260
It's such a beautiful part
of the Thames.
3424
03:01:12,780 --> 03:01:15,940
Our holiday is all about taking your
foot off the pedal
3425
03:01:15,940 --> 03:01:19,460
and enjoying the slow pace of life,
leaving someone else to do
3426
03:01:19,460 --> 03:01:22,780
all the cooking, cleaning
and housekeeping.
3427
03:01:22,780 --> 03:01:25,460
It's only a short sale from Cliveden
to Cookham,
3428
03:01:25,460 --> 03:01:28,580
and as the river is deep enough
here, the boat can moor up
3429
03:01:28,580 --> 03:01:30,620
right next to the shore.
3430
03:01:30,620 --> 03:01:33,380
Oh, thanks. I'll see you later!
See you soon.
3431
03:01:33,380 --> 03:01:35,060
Ta-rah! See you soon. Hello, again.
3432
03:01:35,060 --> 03:01:36,940
That's my kind of hassle free
travelling.
3433
03:01:36,940 --> 03:01:38,740
Right.
3434
03:01:43,580 --> 03:01:47,300
Cookham is a classic historic
village, perched on the side
3435
03:01:47,300 --> 03:01:50,100
of the Thames with a high street
that's full of shops.
3436
03:01:54,940 --> 03:01:58,700
It was also home to the late British
artist Stanley Spencer,
3437
03:01:58,700 --> 03:02:02,380
and there's a gallery dedicated to
him at the top of the high street.
3438
03:02:02,380 --> 03:02:04,380
BICYCLE BELL RINGS
3439
03:02:04,380 --> 03:02:06,580
There we go. So, welcome to the
village of Cookham.
3440
03:02:06,580 --> 03:02:08,540
Thank you. Welcome to
Stanley Spencer Gallery.
3441
03:02:08,540 --> 03:02:10,740
If you have a wander around,
I'll wait for you outside.
3442
03:02:10,740 --> 03:02:14,220
OK. Thank you.
Right, let's do this then.
3443
03:02:14,220 --> 03:02:18,140
It's run by a group of volunteers
who charge a small entrance fee
3444
03:02:18,140 --> 03:02:20,420
and we were told by the crew it's
worth a look.
3445
03:02:20,420 --> 03:02:21,700
Hi.
3446
03:02:21,700 --> 03:02:24,420
Hello, welcome to Stanley Spencer,
Gallery. Oh, hello, there!
3447
03:02:24,420 --> 03:02:27,780
Nice to see you. Stanley Spencer,
can you tell us a bit about him?
3448
03:02:27,780 --> 03:02:30,740
He was born in Cookham in 1891.
3449
03:02:30,740 --> 03:02:33,860
He went to the Slade School
of Art and studied with
3450
03:02:33,860 --> 03:02:35,940
other very famous artists.
3451
03:02:35,940 --> 03:02:38,220
What's this painting here,
cos it's not finished, is it?
3452
03:02:38,220 --> 03:02:39,820
That's, um... It isn't.
3453
03:02:39,820 --> 03:02:42,740
Unfortunately, Stanley died before
he could complete it
3454
03:02:42,740 --> 03:02:46,260
and it's Christ preaching
at Cookham Regatta.
3455
03:02:46,260 --> 03:02:50,780
Wow! So, basically, it's the Cookham
Regatta as it was in the '50s.
3456
03:02:50,780 --> 03:02:53,100
But in the centre, you've got
the figure of Christ
3457
03:02:53,100 --> 03:02:54,780
and the disciples.
3458
03:02:54,780 --> 03:02:56,300
Oh, that's amazing... So, yeah.
3459
03:02:56,300 --> 03:02:58,620
..that he's put Cookham people
into everything, yeah?
3460
03:02:58,620 --> 03:03:01,140
He did and he did a lot of his
religious art,
3461
03:03:01,140 --> 03:03:03,300
Resurrection at Cookham through the
churchyard.
3462
03:03:03,300 --> 03:03:05,100
I don't know if you've been there.
3463
03:03:05,100 --> 03:03:08,300
So Cookham was his main
inspiration, really.
3464
03:03:08,300 --> 03:03:11,020
Was he married?
He was married twice, actually.
3465
03:03:11,020 --> 03:03:13,340
Is that Hilda? That's a
self-portrait of Hilda Carline,
3466
03:03:13,340 --> 03:03:16,340
his first wife. Oh, that's...
And she was an artist.
3467
03:03:16,340 --> 03:03:19,620
And second to a lady called
Patricia Preece.
3468
03:03:19,620 --> 03:03:22,180
That's Patricia...? That didn't last
very long, the marriage.
3469
03:03:22,180 --> 03:03:23,900
Did it not? They didn't actually...
3470
03:03:23,900 --> 03:03:26,780
The wedding night, they didn't
actually spend together
3471
03:03:26,780 --> 03:03:29,940
and they never lived together.
3472
03:03:29,940 --> 03:03:33,180
That's Patricia. That's Patricia
Preece, who was an artist,
3473
03:03:33,180 --> 03:03:37,420
but her partner, Dorothy Hepworth,
was a more accomplished artist.
3474
03:03:37,420 --> 03:03:40,460
So her partner, Dorothy?
Yeah.
3475
03:03:40,460 --> 03:03:43,180
I sort of get now why...
3476
03:03:43,180 --> 03:03:46,860
Yeah. The relationship probably
didn't work.
3477
03:03:46,860 --> 03:03:49,060
I suppose it was a doomed marriage.
3478
03:03:49,060 --> 03:03:51,740
Patricia wanted certain things out
of the marriage
3479
03:03:51,740 --> 03:03:55,660
and Stanley wanted other things and
they... The two didn't meet.
3480
03:03:55,660 --> 03:03:57,940
So it wasn't a true marriage.
Oh, dear.
3481
03:03:57,940 --> 03:04:00,180
Really, but... Maybe they should've
had a chat.
3482
03:04:00,180 --> 03:04:02,340
Yeah. Yeah. I think so, yeah.
3483
03:04:02,340 --> 03:04:04,220
It sounds eccentric.
3484
03:04:04,220 --> 03:04:06,100
Yeah, there were quite colourful,
I guess.
3485
03:04:06,100 --> 03:04:09,140
Lots of stories of him getting
dressed by just putting
3486
03:04:09,140 --> 03:04:11,380
his suit over his pyjamas.
3487
03:04:11,380 --> 03:04:15,220
Everything was about the art,
so he'd just go out as he was,
3488
03:04:15,220 --> 03:04:17,740
didn't particularly want to eat.
3489
03:04:17,740 --> 03:04:20,580
He lived on jam sandwiches most of
the time. Oh.
3490
03:04:20,580 --> 03:04:23,340
So, it was eccentric, I suppose.
3491
03:04:23,340 --> 03:04:25,420
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
3492
03:04:25,420 --> 03:04:29,700
Despite the chaotic love life,
his art was extremely successful
3493
03:04:29,700 --> 03:04:32,980
and collectors now pay millions
for his work.
3494
03:04:32,980 --> 03:04:35,140
Thank you so much for explaining
everything.
3495
03:04:35,140 --> 03:04:36,580
That's all right, you're welcome.
3496
03:04:36,580 --> 03:04:39,380
And we'll go off and have a look.
Enjoy the rest of Cookham.
3497
03:04:39,380 --> 03:04:41,900
It's a lovely day.
Thank you. Lovely meeting you all.
3498
03:04:41,900 --> 03:04:44,260
And you too. All right, thanks ever
so much. Bye! Thank you.
3499
03:04:44,260 --> 03:04:45,260
Bye. Bye.
3500
03:04:47,020 --> 03:04:50,260
And artistic talents seem to run
through the whole village.
3501
03:04:50,260 --> 03:04:51,980
Oh, wow. Look at these!
3502
03:04:51,980 --> 03:04:53,780
Oh, gorgeous.
3503
03:04:53,780 --> 03:04:56,340
Oh, I love how they've done
this and that.
3504
03:04:56,340 --> 03:04:58,060
Jane McDonald!
3505
03:04:58,060 --> 03:04:59,460
Hello!
3506
03:04:59,460 --> 03:05:01,500
Are these for me?
It's so fabulous to meet you! Aw!
3507
03:05:01,500 --> 03:05:03,220
They are for you.
Bless you, darling.
3508
03:05:03,220 --> 03:05:04,940
There are for you, absolutely.
Thank you!
3509
03:05:04,940 --> 03:05:07,140
Thank you so, so... How are you?
Very well!
3510
03:05:07,140 --> 03:05:09,340
What a beautiful place!
Welcome to Cookham!
3511
03:05:09,340 --> 03:05:11,940
And I'm loving your work here.
Oh, thanks. I did that this morning.
3512
03:05:11,940 --> 03:05:14,740
Did you, darling? That's why I'm
covered in glitter. Oh!
3513
03:05:14,740 --> 03:05:16,780
Is that just not a normal?
3514
03:05:16,780 --> 03:05:18,380
It's a normal thing for me.
3515
03:05:18,380 --> 03:05:20,380
Every day's a glitter day!
3516
03:05:20,380 --> 03:05:22,180
Every day's a glitter day -
I love that!
3517
03:05:22,180 --> 03:05:24,780
Cheers. Anyway, it's so lovely to
meet you. Have a fabulous day.
3518
03:05:24,780 --> 03:05:26,820
I will. Nice to see you.
And thank you. Not at all.
3519
03:05:26,820 --> 03:05:30,260
Not at all, take care. All the best.
Beautiful. Have a lovely day. Bye!
3520
03:05:31,380 --> 03:05:33,620
What friendly folk round here!
3521
03:05:33,620 --> 03:05:36,700
Cookham high street is full of
independently owned shops,
3522
03:05:36,700 --> 03:05:39,140
and I'm only too happy
to support them.
3523
03:05:39,140 --> 03:05:41,420
Hang on a minute. Can someone...
Neil, can you take them?
3524
03:05:41,420 --> 03:05:42,660
Yeah, with pleasure.
3525
03:05:42,660 --> 03:05:46,060
First rule of shopping club,
blokes stay outside.
3526
03:05:46,060 --> 03:05:48,540
Can I go in? I'm going in.
3527
03:05:48,540 --> 03:05:50,220
Please use the other door. Yeah!
3528
03:05:51,340 --> 03:05:53,900
Clothes shop.
3529
03:05:53,900 --> 03:05:55,740
What a lovely shop!
3530
03:05:55,740 --> 03:05:57,940
Oh! Well, do you want to have
another look round?
3531
03:05:57,940 --> 03:06:00,220
Could we? Yes, have a look round
and if there's anything
3532
03:06:00,220 --> 03:06:02,180
that you fancy, then you can,
you know.
3533
03:06:02,180 --> 03:06:03,740
That's lovely.
3534
03:06:03,740 --> 03:06:06,300
Did I see nightwear in there?
You did. Oh! You did.
3535
03:06:06,300 --> 03:06:08,140
See, I'll have to get some
quite salubrious
3536
03:06:08,140 --> 03:06:10,300
cos I'm away such a lot,
I like to give my old man
3537
03:06:10,300 --> 03:06:12,060
a bit of a treat now and again.
3538
03:06:12,060 --> 03:06:13,580
Only now and again, obviously!
3539
03:06:13,580 --> 03:06:15,060
We do that quite often, our ladies.
3540
03:06:15,060 --> 03:06:16,700
Yeah, that's great.
3541
03:06:16,700 --> 03:06:18,900
Next door, we've got swimwear
and we've got nightwear.
3542
03:06:18,900 --> 03:06:20,380
Oh, perfect!
3543
03:06:20,380 --> 03:06:22,860
Oh, I love a shop, I love a shop.
I love a shop!
3544
03:06:22,860 --> 03:06:24,420
Look at that one.
3545
03:06:24,420 --> 03:06:27,860
Yeah. You'll feel respectable in
that. Yes, exactly, yes.
3546
03:06:27,860 --> 03:06:30,020
Not too heavy.
Yeah.
3547
03:06:30,020 --> 03:06:31,500
Yes, that'll do.
3548
03:06:31,500 --> 03:06:34,780
Practicality wins over sexy
every time.
3549
03:06:34,780 --> 03:06:37,980
Dress boutiques have been in Vicky's
family for generations.
3550
03:06:37,980 --> 03:06:40,620
Her mother had a shop and her mother
before her.
3551
03:06:40,620 --> 03:06:42,940
Is this your mother here?
It is my mother, yep.
3552
03:06:42,940 --> 03:06:45,100
Oh, she looks quite formidable
there.
3553
03:06:45,100 --> 03:06:46,900
Yes, she was.
3554
03:06:46,900 --> 03:06:48,940
That's why we have a here,
to keep an eye on us.
3555
03:06:48,940 --> 03:06:50,700
That's a good thing, isn't it?
Yes.
3556
03:06:50,700 --> 03:06:52,900
She looks quite great. Yeah.
Wonderful.
3557
03:06:52,900 --> 03:06:54,580
Right, where are we?
3558
03:06:54,580 --> 03:06:58,260
I for one and doing all I can to
support our high street.
3559
03:06:58,260 --> 03:07:02,500
I see it as a community service to
keep shopping and carry on.
3560
03:07:02,500 --> 03:07:04,420
Well, thank you very much.
Not at all.
3561
03:07:04,420 --> 03:07:06,940
Really super to see you,
enjoy the rest of the trip.
3562
03:07:06,940 --> 03:07:09,140
I will, I will. Lovely.
Thank you.
3563
03:07:09,140 --> 03:07:11,660
Bye-bye. Thank you for your time.
Not at all, lovely to see you.
3564
03:07:11,660 --> 03:07:13,980
And you too, all the best.
Bye. Bye-bye.
3565
03:07:15,420 --> 03:07:16,820
Oh!
3566
03:07:16,820 --> 03:07:18,980
Home, sweet home. Oh! I know, yeah.
3567
03:07:18,980 --> 03:07:20,740
I'm happy, though, I've got a bag.
3568
03:07:20,740 --> 03:07:22,460
Yeah. We've got a bag.
3569
03:07:22,460 --> 03:07:24,340
It's the thing, isn't it? Mm-hm.
3570
03:07:28,980 --> 03:07:32,020
We're heading upstream to Hurley
and tonight's our final night
3571
03:07:32,020 --> 03:07:33,940
on the river cruiser.
3572
03:07:38,940 --> 03:07:42,180
The whole thinking behind this trip
has been to celebrate the girls'
3573
03:07:42,180 --> 03:07:45,100
birthday, so this evening,
I've planned a surprise.
3574
03:07:48,660 --> 03:07:52,100
I've known Sue and Olwen for more
years than I can count.
3575
03:07:52,100 --> 03:07:54,300
They've always been such good
friends
3576
03:07:54,300 --> 03:07:56,980
and I want their 70th birthday
to be one to remember.
3577
03:08:01,940 --> 03:08:04,860
Put a bit of slap on.
3578
03:08:04,860 --> 03:08:06,580
Every little helps!
3579
03:08:11,020 --> 03:08:12,500
Sorry.
3580
03:08:12,500 --> 03:08:14,220
They've got no idea that this is
going on.
3581
03:08:14,220 --> 03:08:17,500
OK, is that all right? Yeah, thank
you very much, yes. Fantastic.
3582
03:08:17,500 --> 03:08:19,700
Right, I'm about ready.
Ooh!
3583
03:08:19,700 --> 03:08:21,380
Hang on, I better put my shoes on.
3584
03:08:21,380 --> 03:08:23,580
I've got wigs and everything.
3585
03:08:23,580 --> 03:08:25,540
It's exciting, isn't it?!
I love a party!
3586
03:08:27,700 --> 03:08:29,820
I can't wait to see their faces.
3587
03:08:35,340 --> 03:08:37,500
ALL: Surprise!
3588
03:08:37,500 --> 03:08:39,740
THEY LAUGH AND CHEER
3589
03:08:40,780 --> 03:08:43,300
I knew there was something going on!
3590
03:08:45,500 --> 03:08:47,940
I haven't even got a tissue!
I haven't even got a tissue.
3591
03:08:47,940 --> 03:08:49,780
I'm filling up. Aw!
3592
03:08:49,780 --> 03:08:51,380
Oh, dear!
3593
03:08:51,380 --> 03:08:53,140
Happy birthday, you two!
3594
03:08:53,140 --> 03:08:55,060
Oh, thank you!
3595
03:08:55,060 --> 03:08:56,780
Where's the pressies?
3596
03:08:56,780 --> 03:08:58,020
THEY LAUGH
3597
03:08:58,020 --> 03:08:59,700
In my room. Although I did...
3598
03:08:59,700 --> 03:09:01,300
I thought, there's something...
3599
03:09:01,300 --> 03:09:03,900
There's something dodgy
going on here.
3600
03:09:03,900 --> 03:09:06,100
She's been trying to
back-comb my hair all day!
3601
03:09:06,100 --> 03:09:07,620
THEY LAUGH
3602
03:09:07,620 --> 03:09:08,860
Oh, dear.
3603
03:09:08,860 --> 03:09:11,420
I've picked a '70s theme tonight,
which isn't strictly
3604
03:09:11,420 --> 03:09:14,140
the decade they were born,
but who's counting?!
3605
03:09:14,140 --> 03:09:16,900
We are allowed to put
our wigs on now,
3606
03:09:16,900 --> 03:09:18,780
if we can get into the boxes!
3607
03:09:19,940 --> 03:09:21,540
THEY LAUGH
3608
03:09:21,540 --> 03:09:23,820
Oh, I think they look great.
3609
03:09:26,300 --> 03:09:28,940
THEY LAUGH HYSTERICALLY
3610
03:09:34,820 --> 03:09:37,340
Do you know, I'm getting used
to her in that, are you?
3611
03:09:38,540 --> 03:09:40,700
Yeah. You look like the Beverley
Sisters. Yeah.
3612
03:09:40,700 --> 03:09:42,820
They're all dead!
3613
03:09:45,100 --> 03:09:47,900
Time to fill our glasses once again
and get stuck into
3614
03:09:47,900 --> 03:09:50,460
the party atmosphere.
3615
03:09:50,460 --> 03:09:53,980
Our captain, Dominic, is joining us
with his son, Oliver,
3616
03:09:53,980 --> 03:09:55,860
and it's good to see them having
a night off
3617
03:09:55,860 --> 03:09:57,820
and letting their hair down.
3618
03:09:57,820 --> 03:09:59,660
To the ship and the river.
3619
03:09:59,660 --> 03:10:01,260
GLASSES CLINK
3620
03:10:01,260 --> 03:10:03,300
Wigs off and it's cake time,
3621
03:10:03,300 --> 03:10:05,860
as with all these candles,
we could be a fire hazard.
3622
03:10:05,860 --> 03:10:07,660
Oh!
3623
03:10:07,660 --> 03:10:15,260
# Happy Birthday to you
3624
03:10:15,260 --> 03:10:20,020
# Happy Birthday Sue and Olwen
3625
03:10:20,020 --> 03:10:25,380
# Happy Birthday to you! #.
3626
03:10:25,380 --> 03:10:26,980
Oh!
3627
03:10:26,980 --> 03:10:28,580
THEY CHEER
3628
03:10:28,580 --> 03:10:30,900
How lovely. Thank you!
3629
03:10:32,020 --> 03:10:33,260
Oh, look!
3630
03:10:33,260 --> 03:10:34,460
Coming up...
3631
03:10:34,460 --> 03:10:36,340
Actually, that's therapeutic,
isn't it?
3632
03:10:36,340 --> 03:10:38,500
..I discover that I'm actually quite
good with wood.
3633
03:10:38,500 --> 03:10:40,460
I quite like doing this.
3634
03:10:47,340 --> 03:10:50,060
It's the last day of cruising on our
private river cruiser
3635
03:10:50,060 --> 03:10:52,820
holiday up the Thames.
3636
03:10:52,820 --> 03:10:55,660
We have one more trip to make before
we head upstream
3637
03:10:55,660 --> 03:10:57,780
to our final stop in Henley.
3638
03:10:58,980 --> 03:11:02,540
The crew have recommended we visit
a local boat yard
3639
03:11:02,540 --> 03:11:06,180
that's been in the same
family for over 300 years.
3640
03:11:06,180 --> 03:11:07,780
Thank you, my love. You're welcome.
3641
03:11:07,780 --> 03:11:09,780
I always feel so special
when you do that.
3642
03:11:09,780 --> 03:11:11,700
Thank you! You're welcome.
3643
03:11:11,700 --> 03:11:15,740
Umbrella holder and Skipper Oliver
has been coming to this boat yard
3644
03:11:15,740 --> 03:11:18,580
since he was a boy and he says
we're in for a treat.
3645
03:11:20,580 --> 03:11:23,180
It's just a short walk from our
river cruiser,
3646
03:11:23,180 --> 03:11:25,660
and on a rainy day like today,
I'm just glad
3647
03:11:25,660 --> 03:11:28,100
that it's all under cover.
3648
03:11:28,100 --> 03:11:30,900
The late Peter Freebody took over
the boat building business
3649
03:11:30,900 --> 03:11:33,540
from his grandfather in 1933,
3650
03:11:33,540 --> 03:11:36,580
and now his son Richard
is in charge.
3651
03:11:36,580 --> 03:11:38,420
Hi there, mate. Hi, guys.
Oh, hello!
3652
03:11:38,420 --> 03:11:41,060
Yeah, welcome to the boat yard
yeah. Good to see you.
3653
03:11:41,060 --> 03:11:43,340
Let me show you into the boat yard
and what we do.
3654
03:11:43,340 --> 03:11:44,820
Fantastic!
3655
03:11:47,300 --> 03:11:50,500
It is fascinating to walk through
these old sheds and see
3656
03:11:50,500 --> 03:11:53,260
master craftsmen working on
boat projects
3657
03:11:53,260 --> 03:11:56,580
that can sometimes take
years to complete.
3658
03:11:56,580 --> 03:11:58,140
Oh, look at this.
3659
03:11:58,140 --> 03:12:00,860
So, guys, this is where it
all goes on.
3660
03:12:00,860 --> 03:12:04,260
So, this is a lovely cruiser
from the 1930s,
3661
03:12:04,260 --> 03:12:07,220
that we're completely rebuilding for
a couple that have
3662
03:12:07,220 --> 03:12:08,700
another boat with us.
3663
03:12:08,700 --> 03:12:10,180
This is a lovely little thing.
3664
03:12:10,180 --> 03:12:14,420
This is little Thames dinghy that my
father built for a customer.
3665
03:12:14,420 --> 03:12:18,300
And it was actually for the customer
to give his 16-year-old daughter
3666
03:12:18,300 --> 03:12:20,300
a birthday present.
3667
03:12:20,300 --> 03:12:23,020
Oh, wow. They've got money
around here, then, haven't they?!
3668
03:12:23,020 --> 03:12:24,380
THEY LAUGH
3669
03:12:24,380 --> 03:12:25,980
I only got a watch!
3670
03:12:25,980 --> 03:12:28,820
Behind us here, we've got a lovely
Venetian water taxi.
3671
03:12:28,820 --> 03:12:31,660
Oh, look at that!
3672
03:12:31,660 --> 03:12:35,460
That's...that's got the glitz and
the glamour attached to it.
3673
03:12:35,460 --> 03:12:37,980
It's very George Clooney, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
3674
03:12:37,980 --> 03:12:41,140
Just near an Nespresso on there
and you'd be away!
3675
03:12:41,140 --> 03:12:42,500
THEY LAUGH
3676
03:12:42,500 --> 03:12:44,940
So, Jane, we're going to get
you on the tools now.
3677
03:12:44,940 --> 03:12:47,380
Oh, right! So this is the
flagstaff
3678
03:12:47,380 --> 03:12:50,020
for this Venetian water taxi.
3679
03:12:50,020 --> 03:12:53,660
So using the block plane, you're
literally just taking some
3680
03:12:53,660 --> 03:12:56,140
shavings off and rotating your
hand...
3681
03:12:58,340 --> 03:13:00,980
..like that. Yeah, you sure you'd...
If you'd like to have a go.
3682
03:13:00,980 --> 03:13:03,740
Are you sure? We'll see if we can
make a boat builder out of you.
3683
03:13:03,740 --> 03:13:05,980
Right, cos you've been here 300
years, don't forget,
3684
03:13:05,980 --> 03:13:08,140
I've been here three minutes!
3685
03:13:08,140 --> 03:13:10,020
Perfect. Oh, look!
3686
03:13:11,380 --> 03:13:12,820
I'm on a plane. That's it.
3687
03:13:14,140 --> 03:13:15,620
I quite like doing this.
3688
03:13:16,700 --> 03:13:18,540
Oh, that's quite...
3689
03:13:18,540 --> 03:13:21,300
Actually, that's therapeutic,
isn't it? Yeah, it is.
3690
03:13:21,300 --> 03:13:23,460
You're creating something.
3691
03:13:23,460 --> 03:13:25,780
So, what is this, what am I doing?
3692
03:13:25,780 --> 03:13:28,180
You're shaving the flagpole.
3693
03:13:28,180 --> 03:13:29,700
Yeah...
3694
03:13:29,700 --> 03:13:31,420
Really?
3695
03:13:31,420 --> 03:13:32,860
I'm shaving the flagpole!
3696
03:13:32,860 --> 03:13:34,060
THEY LAUGH
3697
03:13:35,420 --> 03:13:38,380
Oh, I'm obviously a natural!
3698
03:13:38,380 --> 03:13:40,700
THEY LAUGH
3699
03:13:40,700 --> 03:13:42,220
Oh, love it!
3700
03:13:43,740 --> 03:13:46,740
It'll be a toothpick by the time
I'm finished.
3701
03:13:46,740 --> 03:13:48,900
This is where the finished
article...
3702
03:13:48,900 --> 03:13:50,940
Oh! ..is.
3703
03:13:50,940 --> 03:13:52,820
So, these are... Come and have a
look at this.
3704
03:13:52,820 --> 03:13:55,380
..the slipper launches that we're
famous for building.
3705
03:13:55,380 --> 03:13:58,060
And they're basically designed
for lovely, glamorous jaunts
3706
03:13:58,060 --> 03:13:59,940
on the Thames, just with a glass of
something.
3707
03:13:59,940 --> 03:14:01,820
So that's really for me, isn't it?
3708
03:14:01,820 --> 03:14:05,140
Right up your street, Jane, I think.
Glamorous... Yeah, perfect.
3709
03:14:05,140 --> 03:14:08,300
They're getting quite...quite
elaborate now and quite high-tech.
3710
03:14:08,300 --> 03:14:10,180
This is an electric version.
3711
03:14:10,180 --> 03:14:12,620
So, we're obviously into the age of
electric propulsion.
3712
03:14:12,620 --> 03:14:15,100
Oh, wow, yeah.
So, uh...
3713
03:14:15,100 --> 03:14:17,300
So with that, it's really, really
quiet?
3714
03:14:17,300 --> 03:14:18,860
Super quiet.
3715
03:14:18,860 --> 03:14:21,020
You get really, really close
to nature,
3716
03:14:21,020 --> 03:14:23,380
the kingfishers and the swans.
3717
03:14:23,380 --> 03:14:26,060
How...how much would one
of these be?
3718
03:14:26,060 --> 03:14:28,940
Uh, they start at around 180,000
plus VAT.
3719
03:14:28,940 --> 03:14:30,420
Yeah? Yeah.
3720
03:14:30,420 --> 03:14:33,100
Ooh, I'll have two, please!
3721
03:14:33,100 --> 03:14:34,700
I love how you've...
3722
03:14:34,700 --> 03:14:38,420
This has been 300 years and
now this is the future.
3723
03:14:38,420 --> 03:14:41,460
Absolutely. Yeah, I think it's very,
very important to always embrace
3724
03:14:41,460 --> 03:14:43,660
the future but obviously keep it...
Keep tradition.
3725
03:14:43,660 --> 03:14:45,860
..very much in keeping with
tradition.
3726
03:14:45,860 --> 03:14:48,260
Lovely. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Cheers, guys!
3727
03:14:48,260 --> 03:14:50,660
All the very best.
Thanks very much.
3728
03:14:50,660 --> 03:14:54,100
Beautiful craftsmanship and perfect
for a summer jaunt,
3729
03:14:54,100 --> 03:14:56,500
but in autumn, they're all
under wraps -
3730
03:14:56,500 --> 03:14:58,100
a bit like us!
3731
03:15:03,340 --> 03:15:06,700
It's our last lunch, so we're all up
on deck as we set sail
3732
03:15:06,700 --> 03:15:11,180
towards Henley-on-Thames, famous for
the annual rowing regatta.
3733
03:15:11,180 --> 03:15:14,420
You can spot rowers all year round
and like us,
3734
03:15:14,420 --> 03:15:18,180
I think they might have their
thermals on today.
3735
03:15:18,180 --> 03:15:21,740
And nothing warms you cockles more
than a piping hot dinner
3736
03:15:21,740 --> 03:15:24,100
and today it's our special request -
3737
03:15:24,100 --> 03:15:26,260
roast pork.
3738
03:15:26,260 --> 03:15:27,980
Look at that!
3739
03:15:27,980 --> 03:15:29,900
DUCKS QUACK
3740
03:15:29,900 --> 03:15:32,380
I'm glad we didn't have duck!
3741
03:15:32,380 --> 03:15:35,140
So is that one! So are they!
3742
03:15:35,140 --> 03:15:37,300
Thank you. Yes, it's all right.
3743
03:15:37,300 --> 03:15:39,020
We're having pork today, dear.
3744
03:15:39,020 --> 03:15:41,660
Oh, look at that!
Oh!
3745
03:15:41,660 --> 03:15:44,300
Oh, beautiful.
3746
03:15:44,300 --> 03:15:48,300
I've been fancying pork since we
went to Hampton Court, have you?
3747
03:15:48,300 --> 03:15:51,300
Well, yeah, and the crackling
and lots of meat.
3748
03:15:51,300 --> 03:15:53,500
It was about what they were talking
about,
3749
03:15:53,500 --> 03:15:55,660
how much meat they used to eat
in those days.
3750
03:15:55,660 --> 03:15:57,180
Yeah. Yeah.
3751
03:15:58,700 --> 03:16:01,260
What a perfect end to our
cruising holiday.
3752
03:16:03,460 --> 03:16:06,460
Thank you for coming and thank you
for letting me be
3753
03:16:06,460 --> 03:16:09,060
in your birthday because I've had
the best birthday ever
3754
03:16:09,060 --> 03:16:11,500
and it's not even been mine!
3755
03:16:11,500 --> 03:16:13,340
And to you. I know.
3756
03:16:13,340 --> 03:16:15,820
Cheers! Cheers! Here's to 70.
Thank you.
3757
03:16:15,820 --> 03:16:18,420
Next time. Here's to 71. Next time!
Next time! Here's to next time.
3758
03:16:20,700 --> 03:16:23,860
Our trip started just over 40 miles
away in London.
3759
03:16:25,660 --> 03:16:29,260
And we've cruised past fabulous
countryside
3760
03:16:29,260 --> 03:16:31,940
and some of England's finest
heritage...
3761
03:16:35,020 --> 03:16:38,060
..ending up in Henley-on-Thames
in Oxfordshire.
3762
03:16:41,300 --> 03:16:43,740
Oh. Oh!
3763
03:16:45,020 --> 03:16:47,220
I'm just... I don't want to leave.
3764
03:16:47,220 --> 03:16:49,460
Bless you. Thank you.
It's been such a pleasure.
3765
03:16:49,460 --> 03:16:50,900
Thank you. Thanks.
3766
03:16:50,900 --> 03:16:52,420
I feel like we're all family.
3767
03:16:52,420 --> 03:16:54,580
Come here, you!
Oh, it's been a pleasure.
3768
03:16:54,580 --> 03:16:55,940
You're just amazing.
3769
03:16:55,940 --> 03:16:57,300
You!
3770
03:16:57,300 --> 03:16:59,660
Goodbye crew, and goodbye Thames.
3771
03:16:59,660 --> 03:17:02,300
My eyes have been opened to yet
another stunning part
3772
03:17:02,300 --> 03:17:04,580
of my home country.
3773
03:17:04,580 --> 03:17:06,020
All right. Thanks, all the best.
3774
03:17:06,020 --> 03:17:08,620
Toodle-oo. Bye! Bye. Bye! Bye!
3775
03:17:19,780 --> 03:17:22,140
# Dirty old river
3776
03:17:22,140 --> 03:17:24,300
# Must you keep rolling
3777
03:17:24,300 --> 03:17:26,860
# Flowing into the night?
3778
03:17:29,060 --> 03:17:31,220
# People so busy
3779
03:17:31,220 --> 03:17:33,380
# Make me feel dizzy
3780
03:17:33,380 --> 03:17:36,340
# Taxi light shines so bright
3781
03:17:38,100 --> 03:17:42,020
# But I don't
3782
03:17:42,020 --> 03:17:44,620
# Need no friends
3783
03:17:46,940 --> 03:17:51,140
# As long as I gaze on Waterloo
sunset
3784
03:17:51,140 --> 03:17:53,860
# I am in paradise
3785
03:17:55,940 --> 03:17:57,660
# Sha-la-la
3786
03:17:57,660 --> 03:18:02,300
# Every day I look at the world
from my window
3787
03:18:04,900 --> 03:18:06,500
# Sha-la-la
3788
03:18:06,500 --> 03:18:10,700
# But chilly, chilly is evening time
3789
03:18:10,700 --> 03:18:15,580
# Waterloo sunset's fine
3790
03:18:18,500 --> 03:18:20,420
# Millions of people
3791
03:18:20,420 --> 03:18:22,700
# Swarming like flies 'round
3792
03:18:22,700 --> 03:18:25,580
# Waterloo underground
3793
03:18:27,140 --> 03:18:29,300
