These programmes were originally broadcast by the British Forces Network for Forces listeners interested in brushing up their German. They take the form of dramatised excerpts from Jerome K. Jerome's book; and for this reason they differ from German programmes previously broadcast, in which the scene was set in a German-speaking country.

The three men introduce themselves to the audience, complain about their many illnesses, and decide to take a rowing holiday on the Thames.
