You can see him absolutely beaming and he talks with such enthusiasm, it’s so great to see and this is what boating is all about. The people of this country are very proud of Jim for the massive amount of work he does for our armed services.

    Many years ago (1990 or so) I worked in a bar in Torquay without many prospects. Jim Davidson was playing at the Princess Theatre for the summer and he’d come to our Pavilion bar with his helpers. They weren’t great to us but he was quite nice , I was never really a fan of his stuff but one day just happened to be me and him in the bar early on an afternoon. He asked me what I would do with my life , I had no idea aged 20. He said get out of this town for a start, join the navy and see the world. You’ll never regret it. Well I did get out, I got to university as a mature student and then went round the world, but as a business professional rather than in the Navy. And coincidentally just bought the very boat Jim mentions in this video, a Sunseeker Superhawk 43, so thanks Jim it might have taken a while but your advice paid off in the end!

Sadly torquay has headed steadily down for years due to crap Council policies, but Brixham has gone the other way. Marina is nicer there too. I am going to get a Seaward 23 and go fishing... “Nick, nick” indeed.

    I've been avoiding this episode for some time as I have an aversion to celebrities...but I have to be honest and say he has won me over! A truly wonderful boat, really really love that boat, and a very normal humble kinda guy that really, if I met him and got chatting on a quay I'd invite him for some beers...I love his passion for boats and his self deprecating sense of humour. And I like how someone who was at the top of his game on TV still has to think twice about the money he spends on his passion...that brings him straight down to the level of the everyman... and I like his continued support for military personnel. Great interview, and a real privilege to go onboard someone's beloved boat and be party to their passion.

Absolutely loved the time he took to show us round and explain the reasons for certain choices and have such an enthusiasm about it all. I was lucky enough to appear on the generation game when he was hosting not as a contestant but as a surprise for one of them. This meant we go to spend the day watching the rehearsals and various takes as around 20/30 of us sat in the audience section. It was amazing to watch and Jim kept us all entertained throughout the day and it was a day I will never forget and I have never laughed so much. Thanks to you both for this.

It's nice to see the Princess 61 but Jim made the video very entertaining. I wasn't familiar with Jim being over here on the other side of the pond. Though you would think I would have known about him as my girlfriend of 5.5 years, back during college & for sometime afterward (until she threw me to the curb), was from England. Back then her & I used to watch many English comedians, comedy shows etc...
