makes me want to go to sea but not in a fishing boat

Very good. A fairly accurate insight into life in a small Cornish fishing village.

Unlike the patronising advert for 2nd home ownership that is Caroline Quentin's bullshit series.

Thanks for the prompt Mick really enjoyed that, been to cadgwith quite a few times when we use to take the caravan to Mullion. Looking forward to next weeks instalment.

Kynance cove is also one of my favourite places.

Oh no, whats happened to Reuben ?
Am I going to be able to watch it or is it really sad (or is it going to make me want to move to Cornwall )?

mick · 29 February 2012, 21:18

Just stumbled on it I haven't seen it on his facebook
Got me wanting to go out

Lovely area . Publicans in cadgwith pub were our neighbours on The Lizard and they used to run pub at Hamble before that. Miss the area looking forward to watching recording

I really like his programmes, but he's a bit of a... well.... Muppet.

Why do you say that ? Ex RM and now a marine biologist....clever muppet.

HUMBER P4VWL · 29 February 2012, 21:40

He may be very clever. He just comes across sOmetimes as a bit daft and not very eloquent. His commentary can be a bit low level as if talking to kids. This series has a narrator, quite like it.

Can't knock him though, programme's are good... But where's Reuben!!

mister p · 29 February 2012, 21:41

I think Monty was suited to his "fly-on-the-wall" thing.
He's been asked to slow his 'natural' chat for the show because it scans.
It doesn't work.
Monty's better at schpieling at his own pace.
Brilliant footage, great content, fantastic footage, surreal content.
Let Monty be Monty.
Monty, just crap on about what you want to crap on about.
Show would be better for Monty being Monty.

was going to disagree then saw the bit where he jumped in to demonstrate cold shock!
Still, excuse to show a bit of flesh afterwards :-)

I enjoyed it

Flesh? M or F ?

mister p · 29 February 2012, 22:00

Well, he's plainly not a "muppet", but may be instructed by "muppets". Production crews are all c**ts, "muppets" if you will.
I reckon that once he watches the production he will polarize.

I didn't really mean muppet in a nasty way. He's just a bit soft and socially unskilled. A bit simple and I think mainly, boring.

Don't get me wrong, he seems a nice guy and is doing good stuff that i find v interesting but he'd do my head in after an hours conversation on a boat!

He's not exactly mr charisma!!

ribraff · 29 February 2012, 22:08

Here's a picture of Reuben on the park in Dartmouth last week for those of you who are missing him
