Guest Scuba1 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I know what you mean Sean.I never whatch it now to be honest. I always think Countryfile is for the benefit of 'Townies' or The 'country side' abbreviated, as I call it. Not for genuine country folk. Yep I think the same about it. ..... Country life in a nice Styrofoam box, packaged for the townie. ATB Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stealthy1 3,964 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 It was better when it was all about farming, and how the land changed through the year, there used to be gamekeeping and shooting on the program back then, but now its aimed at geriatric walkers and those hidden in the wood holiday complex users.

fin and fur 2 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Bring back Out of Town with jack Hargreaves..........well perhaps not good ol' Jack himself......Is he still alive? rgds Swampy A Galstonbury/'henge Ning Too true, there has been little in the way of true countryside/countrysports programmes on the box for the last 4 decades. Jack Hargreaves, Oliver Kite etc, all modern presenters are pale in comparison. there must be someone out there who can front a good countryside programme and some programme maker who has the interest to film one I read in the countrymans weekly a few issues ago that 3 out of 4 British people couldn't identify a Horse Chestnut tree, thats appaling and i think that the vast majority of the great British public who only venture out into the countryside to go to a country pub need some proper education Quote Link to post Share on other sites
