Great Canal Journeys.

I'm trying to find out in which two episodes of Great Canal Journeys this is shown:

One. Tim West, at the end of the episode, is heard reading a shortened version of 'My love is like a red red rose'.

Two. Tim West, during an episode, is filmed reading a fuller version of the same poem by Burns.

Any fan of the show happen to know which episodes?

Thanks.

The episode with the truncated version, positioned at the end of the episode just before the end credits, was included in the episode first broadcast on 13th November 2016 at 8pm on Channel 4. I am struggling to find the other episode but this should give you a head start.

Thanks Prof. I’ve put a question in to the film makers, which might bear fruit.

That particular episode was subtitled The Crinan Canal.

The episode is on YouTube

Yes, indeed.

I think I must have dreamt the ‘other’ reading - I can ‘see’ Tim West sitting on a canal bank reading the whole of the poem, but the production company can’t trace it.
