They are showing a programme which is a canal boat navigating a canal with occasional historical information appearing on screen as they go along. The most unusual thing is there is no human voice to be heard, just the sounds of nature.
Programme is running until midnight.

I'm in the process of getting ready for bed Baz and have it on, really very good. Can you remember what the other programme was called?
It's a repeat EC - was on about a month ago.
It's fab 
There was also a programme solely dedicated to a man making a wooden chair...in real time. I'm sure Rog and I chatted about it at the time (I may have made that last bit up)

The Kennet and Avon actually ran near where I lived at one time

Hi Cosi 
Wish I had known, but I will try and catch the rest on iPlayer.
It is fab.

Yes
Just put it on, its very calming. I'm listening with wireless headphones and the sounds are lovely - think they're in stereo, so bird and lapping water noises come in from one side or another just like RL.
Its canal-tastic

It might have been called something like simply Landscapes EC .....
Ta. Will Google tomorrow. 
I think you'd like the series that Pru & Tim did too, EC; they went all over the place on a canal boat (I think they did 2 or 3 series all together).
This, though, is blissful stuff.

I did watch one or one and a half of those. Is one of them starting to suffer dementia? Looked an interesting series. Did they do something similar in their younger days?

Ummm....don't think it were me Cosi? Though we have watched all manner of carp on tv together, just not that one! 
It sounds better than this year's BB actually!
EC, it's Pru that has the onset of dementia - and yes, they helped clear up a lot of the canal along the Thames; they've been fans for most of their married life.
Rog..! I only name dropped you so that you could take the blame....

I just switched over to BBC2 and White Dee was on Newsnight. No kidding! 
It truly is the end of days... 
You'll have nightmares, Rog
You'll have nightmares, Rog
I would like to have seen the Dawn Chorus one
Me too, Rog, and there was also a docu on the National Gallery that I seemed to have missed...."behind the scenes tour of the gallery with Frederick Wiseman â again, with no voiceover, but taking viewers from board room meetings to exhibition spaces."
If it's not on iplayer then hopefully it'll be on YT
Cheers Cosi
You're welcome, EC
I had a brief look on YT and there's quite a few uploaded including the Dawn Chorus which Rog fancied watching.
