Timothy Spall: ...at Sea

Timothy Spall at Sea series is a set of three BBC Four television series that follow the journey of actor Timothy Spall and his wife Shane as they take their £200,000 52-foot-long (16 m) seagoing (category C) Dutch barge, the Princess Matilda, on a trip around the British Coast, including Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man.

This is the first series, though their trip from London to Cornwall was the first leg of their journey. The series comprised three programmes, covering their journey from Cornwall to the Bristol Channel and their winter mooring at Penarth in Cardiff Bay. It was first broadcast during May 2010.

The second in the series comprised four programmes and covered the journey after the first winters break. They travel around Wales to Liverpool, to the Isle of Man, Northern Ireland and Scotland. The last programme in this series follows them from the western Scottish Isles to winter port in Aberdeenshire via the Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness. The series was first broadcast in August 2011.

The third and final series in the set comprised four programmes, and covers the final leg of their journey. The final programme of the previous series left them needing a winter mooring in Eastern Scotland, and the first programme of this series tells of their winter mooring in Buckie and Banff, Aberdeenshire. This series follows them from Scotland to London, via North East England, the East of England, the River Medway and Chatham, finishing with their return up the River Thames. The series was first broadcast in February and March 2012.
