Good old Tone. We used to camp our van near canals but tried find places in range of his BRMB Saturday Sports show. On that he was great - and some of the punters as in the famous 'What's Andy Grey's Initials?" "1973 Tone" Then they stuck the 5 second delay on and it was not half as good. He also did Biking with Butler.

But a bit of useful information: BOATING BUTLER:1:GLOUCESTER TO THE MALVERNS 1st of 6 part series in which irrepressible Brummie Tony BUTLER takes a highly individual look at life on and alongside the rivers and canals of the Midlands, travelling by narrowboat with his own skipper & a dog called Rags. First Broadcast: 11/08/1988 BOATING BUTLER:2:UPTON-UPON-SEVERN TO STOURPORT BOATING BUTLER:3:THE STAFFORDSHIRE AND WORCESTERSHIRE CANAL BOATING BUTLER:4:THE BLACK COUNTRY AND BIRMINGHAM BOATING BUTLER:5:WARWICKSHIRE AND LEICESTERSHIRE BOATING BUTLER:6:JOURNEY'S END Cheers, Mike ps. If anyone has loads of money to spend, I do believe it should be possible to bother the following to get a viewing copy: http://www.bbcmotiongallery.com/Customer/index.aspx pps.
