Summary
David and Joe get some narrowboating tips and tales from Eddie Phillips an old guy who's been hanging about the canal for nigh on 40 years. Ted recites some poems from his new book Tales of a Seafaring Man and tells them about his wife Sheila who slipped off the boat into the sluice gate after drinking too much Mateus Rose. He then went on to have an affair with Sheena (or was it Shona?) and Patrick Duffy saw a ghost in his toilet.
(Eddie Phillips is played by Alex Lowe who has announced a new tour for 2024 as Clinton Baptiste www.clintonbaptiste.com )
