Griff Rhys Jones, Dara O'Briain, Rory McGrath and a nervous dog called Loli set out from Kingston in a wooden skiff in an attempt to re-trace the journey up the Thames immortalised by Jerome K Jerome in his comedy classic Three Men in a Boat.

Halfway to Oxford, Rory and Dara have gone to the pub while Griff is left behind to prepare a campfire supper.
