Yes, I watched most of it, on & offI thought it was obviously a bit different, but pleasant enough
I believe it is part of a theme that BBC 4 are running currently, with the theme 'slow TV', and includes the 'Handmade' craft shows
I wouldn't like every programme to be made like that, but it is a nice change from the violence, and histrionic 'talent' shows

It was repeated again on BBC4 Later in the small hours, I watched it for a while in bed then nodded off, very relaxing but very slow, I'd swim the canal much faster meself.
Maybe some whizz kid at the BBC got a brainwave that slow solemn programs are the future of TV, only recently we had the thrilling repeat of Churchill's funeral, can we now look forward to the Kennedy funeral repeat spectacular?

As well as the programmes just mentioned I also like other "living wallpaper" videos such as a waterfall in a wood which is on a 30 minute loop, with no music or voiceover. The natural sounds and visuals are a nice change from my urban environment!My other favourites are two videos which make my TV look like an aquarium filled with tropical fish and, for those chilly winter nights, a crackling log fire.
