Great Canal Journeys was a Channel 4 television series in which a pair of presenters took canal barge and narrowboat trips in the United Kingdom, Europe, India and Egypt. The series was originally aired on More4 before transferring to Channel 4 with Series 2. The original presenters were husband and wife Timothy West and Prunella Scales. Both are keen narrowboaters and were involved in campaigning to revive the Kennet & Avon Canal. West and Scales both talk frankly about Scales' dementia during the series, which was praised by Alzheimer’s Research UK.
