BBC Four - Timothy Spall: Back at Sea, Scotch Mist

Timothy and Shane encounter several Scottish ports and islands in the misty drizzle.

Timothy and his wife Shane encounter several Scottish ports and islands in the misty drizzle and venture up the Caledonian Canal.

As summer comes to a close, Timothy Spall's trip around the coast of his beloved Britain reaches the halfway mark. He encounters several Scottish ports and islands, but mostly in the famous Scottish misty drizzle. Before the weather worsens he winds his way through the Scottish western islands and takes his barge Princess Matilda back to her roots by venturing up the Caledonian Canal, a short cut from the west of Scotland to the east which sets up next year's trip down the east coast and back home to London. This year Timothy and his wife Shane have travelled further than in any other of their previous six years at sea. All they need is somewhere to moor up for winter.
