Description

Intro

The Intro begins with Admirable and Mrs. Karia opening the lock to let Josh's boat through. As Josh is leaving, Ravi and Fairport follow him to the dockside where Fairport then jumps onto the boat, and Josh pats him on the head. Ravi waves to Josh as he leaves, Josh responds by waving back, and Fairport barks in reply. 

The film cuts to Joe's Farm, where Daphne is checking Trojan's heartbeat, as the camera pans out, Joe waves to Josh, but Trojan is startled by Josh's boat and bumps into Joe, knocking his hat over his eyes.

The film then shows Fiona waving to Josh and Fairport, Josh waves in return, Mr. Cashmore is not happy to see Josh, and promptly pushes the antenna on his mobile phone down.

The film then shows Sharon putting lipstick on just as Josh passes, she then gives him a sandwich. Josh appears to offer Spanner some of his sandwich, Spanner, obviously overexcited, walks towards the edge of the canal, but isn't looking where he is going and trips over a plank of wood, and falls into the water. Josh then stops the boat and throws a lifebuoy to Spanner. Spanner grabs it and pulls himself to safety.

The Intro ends with a scene of Josh patting Fairport on the boat, as the Joshua Jones logo fades over the image with the following caption. "With the voices of Barbara Flynn and George Layton".

Outro

The Outro begins with a scene of Josh and Fairport driving the boat over an aqueduct at night as the credits roll. After all the credits have been shown, the scene fades out and the Bumper Films logo fades in.

Theme song lyrics

Intro

Some people live in the country, some people live in the city or town, some people live at the top of the tower, some people live much nearer the ground...

But Joshua Jones, can live wherever he goes, his boat will take him to all the nicest places he knows!

Some people work in an office, some people like to work outdoors, some people work in a great big building, some people work on a factory floor...

But Joshua Jones, can work wherever he goes, down by the wharfside or any place the water flows!

La la la la la, Cause that's the life he knows! La la la la la, Cause that's the life he knows!

Outro

Some people live in the country, some people live in the city or town, some people live at the top of the tower, some people live much nearer the ground...

But Joshua Jones, can live wherever he goes, down by the wharfside or any place the water flows!

La la la la la, Cause that's the life he knows!!
