Rosie and Jim

[1] Rosie and Jim are two rag dolls who live aboard a narrowboat called the Ragdoll.

There, they sit with a concertina on their lap and come alive when no one is looking to explore the world that they pass by on rivers and canals across England.

He does not talk but can be heard quacking and flapping his wings when there are no humans around to let both Rosie and Jim know that the coast is clear.

Cunliffe is the only presenter to break the fourth wall, delivering pieces to the camera and narration throughout every episode, which ended with a self-penned short cutout animated story done by Alan Rogers and Peter Lang (creators of Pigeon Street).

Neil would begin each episode looking for his harmonica followed by Rosie and Jim talking about and introducing him.

Brewer became the longest-serving owner of the boat and was the only one to star in a live theatre tour of the show in 1999 and 2000.

He is also the last surviving presenter, following the death of Pat Hutchins in November 2017, and that of John Cunliffe in September 2018.
