All ready to sail?
Woo!
Help!
This is a show where disabled people tell me what they want from a holiday
It's so great!
And I go there and test it!
This is terrifying.
Hello Trevor!
We survived!
Today we are barging into Wales.
That's right, we're going trans UK
This is Mission Accessible.
Un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump.
Pump...
Hello Kemah!
Hello Rosie!
Today I've come with my friend and comedian Kemah Bob, she's amazing
but she is from Texas.
This is Monique.
Whaddup Monique?
Hello. My name is Monique Jarrett and I have osteogenesis imperfecta type 3.
Also known as brittle bones disease.
My wish would be to do a boat trip, like a mini holiday
and I just find it extremely difficult to do so.
I'd love to go on a trip with my friends
especially with a lot of my friends being wheelchair users also.
I have been fishing a few times
it's just making sure that I do it as safely as possible
because I break bones really easily.
I can literally sneeze and break bones.
That's your mission!
We are going on what they call a narrowboat
Wow.
So you're American so you don't know what a narrowboat is.
It's like a boat, but very narrow.
Okay.
Cool.
Hello!
Oh, snap!
Hello Rosie
Welcome to the Lyneal Trust and the Shropshire Lady.
We're planning a holiday for a girl called Monique
and she's in a wheelchair. How would she get on board?
Our boats are designed to accommodate people with wheelchairs so
not just that for getting on and off
she would wheel on and then she would press that black button
there we go, down you go!
Woohoo!
And then you come up again.
I feel like you're about to perform at like a video music awards!
I'm basically Mariah.
Now I want you to hold that
so to start with don't fight me
I won't fight you!
But go with what...
I like you!
But if we did fight, I would win.
Okay, no you're not fighting me.
You've gotta be looking where we going haven't you.
Right, sorry.
Pull it towards you. No towards you!
Oh my God!
Help! Help!
Help!
Don't give me a boat, I will crash it.
Yo what are you wearing, man?
Aye aye sailor!
Wow!
I'm all ready to sail!
What is going on?
So you've got to call me Captain Jones.
Do you understand?
I understand.
Aye, aye Captain Jones!
You're ridiculous.
Are you scared of the dark?
We're gonna find out, I guess!
Yeah!
[SCREAMS]
This is terrifying. It's dark and endless.
Don't worry. I'll have a look out.
Are those real?
No.
Don't worry, we're approaching what we call 'the end of a tunnel'.
I actually studied a bit about canal boats at uni.
Yeah, I know all the lingo.
I know the word barge...
In the 1870s forty thousand people lived on narrowboats, until The Great Freeze.
Or the word barging...
Canal.
They were initially towed by horses but that was soon put out of the way
by the steam engine.
Erm... wood.
Hello! Eric is gonna teach us how to fish.
Okay.
So if you just lift that out of the way like that.
I saw...
Yeah there was a fish there then, it topped, yeah.
Oh my God!
Wow I can’t believe I saw those ripples.
I saw the little ripples of a fish, man.
Hey!
But was it a fish?
Yeah!
Yes it was!
Nothing else makes circles like that, man.
I know a fish circle, when I see a fish circle.
I come here...
Just relax!
Just sit. Just sit here, do a bit of fishing.
Yeah.
Chill out, get rid of all that, then I’m ready for the next week.
Eric’s teaching us to fish and he’s not just teaching us about, you know, catching fish...
he’s also teaching us about, you know, catching the moments of life. You know, catching ourselves.
The float, beautiful in its appearance..
Yeah!
Even more beautiful in its disappearance.
Woooow!
So would you get jealous Rosie, if your friend caught a fish?
Yeah!
A hundred percent, she’d leave me right here.
I don’t think she’ll catch one though.
Kemah is not good at fishing and I think the fish can smell her Americanness.
Here you go!
You enjoying the view Rosie?
Yeah.
All we need now is the fish to play ball.
Just keep doing it right and following it.
And at some stage, the fish will find it and we’ll catch one.
If there’s anything there, it should get a bite.
Come on! Dinner time!
We may need to send some vibes into the water, you know.
What about doing a bit of a dance?
Yeah! A fish dance.
[SQUEALING]
I did it. Hello!
Get in there baby!
Hello Trevor.
Get in there, you beauty!
I caught a fish, I caught your classic roach.
And I thought, ‘you know what, I’m a good person,
Trevor deserves a long and healthy roach life'.
So, I let him go.
You've got fishing people
Alright.
And then you've got losers.
Heeeey Monique!
Hi!
Listen, we’ve found the perfect boat for you.
Oh, oh, oh wow, brill.
I really, really like the lift!
Aaaah! It’s so great
That is amazing. I never thought there would be a lift on a boat.
A hundred percent.
Smashed it!
Bye!
Byeee!
Right, so this is the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.
Wow. Oh my god.
Wow. That is scary.
This is gorgeous man.
Wow, you can see everything.
Oooh yeah!
Wow, I feel like we’re, like, floating above a jungle.
[SQUEALING]
I cometh!
We survived! We did it!
Right, Kemah. Cup of tea, I’m gasping!
Alright. Good luck sailing the seas and whatnot.
Ohhh!
Oh my God, thank you so much!
Hello!
Hi!
Basically, I have created a dream day for you and you’re going to have a cracking time.
Ah, I can’t thank you guys enough!
I mean, I don’t want to say it considering how down she’s gotten on
me for not catching a fish, even though that wasn't the point!
She’s done a great job.
Thank you so much Rosie, thank you!
See ya, bye!
It’s great. We’ve had all day, I’ve taught you things
and I just really hope you’ve learnt a lot.
Erm...
Well, if I'm being honest.
Yeah.
I actually know, erm... quite a lot about canal boats.
So everything I taught you, did you already know?
Erm... I would have, if it was correct.
I’ve got to admit now that actually, I’m not an expert on canals.
No, I literally googled it on the way here.
No way! My goodness.
See I'm a great actor.
Yeah.
I'm not even disabled.
Mmm. Yeah, you gotta do what you gotta do.
I’m not black.
This is a travel show, but it’s not like the ones that male comedians make
because I’m not bringing my Dad with me.
I asked him but he said no, because he finds me annoying.
