As another reviewer points out, this does feel like an episode where the show really begins to settle into shape.
The trio meet one of the several daft hapless men that seem to wander freely round the area during the show's run and this one gives them his canoe. As you do.
So our lads make plans to go on a canoe trip, once they've held a funny but bonkers "who has the biggest mouth" contest at the cafe (using Sid's very typically 1970s *un-refrigerated* meat pies. It cannot be emphasised enough how long it took British catering to catch on to the idea that meat products should be kept cold! I think in the end the EU forced the issue. I imagine Rees-Mogg is planning to bring back the room temp pie any day now)
Anyway, once Ivy has been declared the winner (!) off our three go, dressed in ridiculous Edwardian bathing gear. Clegg sensibly keeps his long johns on, Blamire actually looks very trim! Canoe shenanigans ensue, veering between idyllic scenery & funny mishaps.
It's a very entertaining episode.
