Just poked my head out the window and a hire boat was passing, with a cameraman on the front. As the rear came past I could see it was being steered by Nigel Havers with Debbie McGee next to him and another cameraman. They turned into Chirk marina.
About 5 minutes later comes another hire boat with a cameraman on the front. This one was being steered by Simon Callow with Lorraine Chase and another cameramen. They also turned into the marina.
The missus, being the missus, shot out to find out what is going on. Turns out that ch.5 are doing a series called "Celebraties on the cut". Fiona Bruce was also there, presumably she is going to present the programme.
They've also filmed on the K&A and are going to do the L&L.

Yes .......... and no maybe I am just suspicious of TV program makers and their honesty about their subjects |

Lorraine Chase is a.... er... celebrity? Clairvoyant, anyway - she saw David Cameron 'coming', didn't she?!! (look carefully this time!):  |

I do of course understand how some on here love to rip the piss out of my chose leisure time activity but I seriously doubt Channel 5 will have the remotest interest in promoting yours. Just check out 'carry on caravanning' to see how you are likely to be portrayed.
Socially awkward, Inept and eccentric would just about cover it.
Don't expect anything 5 produces for pure entertainment will remotely encourage anybody to take up boating.

I know, personally I never found boaters to be like that at all but hey ho... |

Im quite 'down with the celebs', but have never heard of any of them, so they can't be that big a celebrity.
