"Let's go up the River." Thus saying Jay, George and Harris (to say nothing of the Dog) as the trio set sail up the River Thames and into an hilarious comedy classic of quintessentially English charm. Jerome, George and Harris are lifelong pals. Whenever one is in a spot of bother the others will always jump in to help him out. So what could possibly go wrong as they set out on a carefree boat trip up the Thames - from leafy Kingston to Oxford's dreaming spires? Nothing at all. Except torrential rain, alarmingly eccentric dogs and a bout of hallucination brought on by some of the most dangerously rancid cheese ever cultivated. This is a rollicking story of three men, one boat and three dozen angry swans.
