James relates an unintentionally saucy tale about a man who took his pinnace to London. A pinnace is a kind of small boat and James didn’t realise how rude was going to sound when spoken aloud. How would you pronounce it? Try it, say “pinnace” out loud. Say it on the bus, if you’re on the bus.
Double-entendres aside, this is the 1607 story of a truly amazing journey made by air, land and – friend of the show – water.
