The prog still runs from time to time on Freeview Channels. Always cheers me up when I come across it. Brilliant little series. I'd love to see a fresh series. PLEASE Seanick?

Second to Searush - Getting Afloat was the best informed most entertaining boaty presented TV prog I've ever seen - half the joy was in the knowledge and enthusiasm, the other half in decent production (despite the naff theme tune!) - decent sound & film quality showed it wasn't an amateur with a handycam.
Seanick - If you're not sure we want more, then take my vote as a resounding call for more. Please.

gets my vote as well for more - just watched a re-run of two episodes back to back last night on one of the home and leisure (or whatever it's now called) channels on Sky
Superb - entertaining and informative !

Gets my vote as well a nice just under 30'er re-fit would do a treat.
Loads of interesting jobs to explain.

Thanks for the votes guys, it was great fun, and a little neve racking.......however the producer has retired to France, Stu the camera man has moved onto big BBC stuff, and me, well it took 9 months on and off to make it, and my customers got put on the back burner, and I would not do that to them again.
On the up side, I am living with the researcher and we have a lovely little baby! The Sharpie, Morris and Tessa the dog are still going strong.
Oh yes, no I DON'T get repeat fees !!!!

Hi Nick.
Thanks for the up date very pleased to hear all is going well. As you replied to my post I will PM scrumpy our new user and let him know you have responded.
I suppose if I was brave enough I would do some sort of prog on my restoration of Mercia III but then thats been going on for over 10 years now.
Cheers and all the best David.
