Post by: MTyrrell on February 20, 2006, 21:32:17: Just been watching 'Out Of Town' by jack Hargreaves. So hands up, who's old enough to remember the series.
Was made before my time but still interesting.

I only ever saw jack in How, must have been about the late 80's.

Out Of Town, certainly the early ones started with him driving a horse & cart down a byway.

Apparently it was all done unscripted, certainly shows a bit in the very first episode.
Loads of series new series landies running around in the background of some of the features.

once on the river Avon where he was fly fishing with Oliver Kite, Jack gave me lots of tips on Dog training for Shoots , and i have put them into
practice over the years and have Great Gundogs as a result , I would
listen in awe of the man he knew so much about everything Rural and
and the countryside in general , Great great man, compulsive viewing,

Post by: JasonM on February 22, 2006, 00:02:53: Was that what it was called? I vaguely remember it as a kid! Him talking about various country implements. I also remember is my dad taking me to the pub opposite their Post Office one morning when he was in there and him signing an autograph book - only name in there and upside down, at the back! Wonder where it went...

Post by: malcb on February 25, 2006, 22:38:32: I remember watching him in both programs, Its a shame all the old crafts seem to die out except for one or two folk who try to study and train in what is an art, didn't he always have a pipe lit at some point in the show, wouldn't get away with that now (not pc.)
