A rather sexist film by modern standards, but still a fun watch! - The Bargee review by giantrolo
A great nostalgic look back at the bygone times when most haulage in the UK was done by canal boat. It was fun to spot the actors who went on to notoriety in other things (Eric Idle in Monty Python etc.!), and to see Ronnie Barker in his younger days! A good watch, but be prepared for some rather sexist overtones! Recommended!
