BBC Four has announced a series of relaxing programmes that will be shot in real time.
The BBC Four Goes Slow series will be inspired by the concept of 'slow TV', where events are filmed in real time, and will include three unrushed programmes.
The Canal will be an uninterrupted canal boat journey down a historic British waterway, taking in the sights and sounds of the countryside.
Make will be a series of three half-hour shows about traditional craftsmanship, looking at the making of different simple objects, with no voiceover.
Finally, National Gallery will see Frederick Wiseman going behind the scenes of the museum for three hours with no voiceover, no score and no added sound effects.
Cassian Harrison, channel editor of BBC Four, says: "BBC Four Goes Slow is another brilliant example of something only BBC Four would do.
"This surprising selection of programmes is the antithesis to the general direction much of television is going in.
"Slowing everything right down gives us the time to really observe things as they happen, and this series of programmes celebrates the simple pleasures of life in the slow lane."
