Best Parts Of Jane McD's Cruises on TV

[jocap]

On Channel 5, at 10pm, Saturday 22nd December:

A festive selection box of Jane McDonald's four cruise series.

[MicCanberra]

Wow, I have actually managed to watch series one on the Tele here and two parts of series 2. Hopefully the rest will be shown soon.

[Heidi13]

If you get it in Australia, hopefully it will arrive in Canada this Century! All we get is Mighty Ships

[MicCanberra]

Just keep an eye out every now and again. I am sure it will be televised in every English speaking country soon enough.

[Heidi13]

We watch a number of UK programs, but have never seen any of her cruise series. Can only hope.

[MicCanberra]

Yeah, we used to get a lot more content here on free to air tv but now most goes to pay for view.

[jocap]

MicCanberra- has the Australian one arrived yet? 

Hoping you see the friendly wombat...  😄

[MicCanberra]

Not yet, that was series three I think, perhaps in a double episode, so far we have only had series one and two episodes from series two.

Loved the wombat episode.

 

My problem with Jane is her idea of a basic cabin. I cannot remember the series; the episode number or the ship she was on but she was excited because her basic cabin had a bath. When mum and I checked out her cabin, on the ships web page, we found the cheapest cabins only had showers.

[MicCanberra]

Most  ships that have cabins with a bath need to be a minisuite or better.

She's back on Channel 5 from Friday 4th January, cruising around Australia; lucky girl.

I am jealous. Although I will be cruising at the time anyway.

In her farewell on the Christmas special, she said she'd be in Australia for 5 weeks!

Looking forward to the next series...

Being a Wakefield lass myself, it's good to hear someone speaking with the correct accent....

I enjoyed Jane's new series, which was on Channel 5 last night (4 Jan). I would love to try Harry's pie, mash and mushy peas.

What does anyone else think of last nights episode?

 

[jocap]

We enjoyed it, because she always visits the unusual, such as the hippy village on the Gold Coast.

LOL, Wakefield has produced some good ones then.

Australia and NZ in the 4th series. Well worth spending more than 5 weeks here discovering the many areas of interest.

The pies are good, with mushy peas even better. A nice Pie floater is great.

Not sure about a hippy village on the Gold Coast, was it Byron Bay or Nimbin perhaps?  they are close but in NSW about an hour and a half south.

Nimbin

[MicCanberra]

That would make sense.

As mentioned, it is not really Gold Coast but it is relatively close (aussie standards) and as Brisbane (the likely port) is just another hour north of the Gold Coast, so about a 3 hour drive each way. Makes for a long day.

[jocap]

Mmm yes, Harry's looked great!

Just been reading that the French suggested that Brits have fish and chips with guacamole...

[MicCanberra]

That would work.

S he's back cruising on Channel 5 on Good Friday, 19th April.

[MicCanberra]

I have managed to catch a few more episodes off you tube but sadly not the Downunder ones as yet.

Thanks, yes- and starts with a river cruise. I can only film on this TV a week in advance, but my finger is poised to press the button this Friday!😎
