tillylamp 1,809 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I've been discussing this very same programme! Loved it as a kid, wish something like it was on these days. Who in this day and age could present it from modern day presenters? I can't think of any, with the same passion, knowledge and experience. One of my favourite episodes below, stuck with me for yrs,although they were all good you and me bud.....loved it as a kid, iv'e tried to think of who could do a modern day version of...out of town, but it is hard to image anyone else doing it, because nothing is televised like this any more.....some things live and die with that person,do you think the fisherman...john wilson could do it? that video you posted...i remember it well, just like it was yesterday....... Tilly,the opening scene in Jeremy Wades River Monsters is filmed in his mates shed,john wilson has retired to thailand and makes good money doing fishing tours nowadays,he is looking his age (arent we all)and doesnt do much tv,stateside theres loads of hunting and fishing on TV,its more acceptable,times are changing. yes mate your right about john wilson, he was just a guy who came to mind that could probably stand alone on what he's doing....as for jeremy wade, i couldn't take to him, i feel he always drama's everything, he gets on my nerves a bit TBH, yeah..i do watch a lot of the hunting/fishing here...but it's not the same without old jack............ ................ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keepitcovert 842 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 The 80s was a time before political correctness reared its ugly head Jack Hargreaves was a master at keeping you interested on country matters, unmissable on my part that guy knew his stuff. Jacks game was another entertaining programme, jack charlton this time, just watched the hare one in the series of jacks game, about beagling it makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck when i heard those hounds, and made me realise something is missing in my life something i took for granted in those days, and something that i would love to see reinstated. Beagling was for my part the best form of hound work' 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was a knowledgeable man also! Read a book or 2 of his ,decent enough author ,he couldn't present a modern show though as he died 9 year ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Out Of Town could never be repeated in the same format, as most of his reminisces were about pre war rural England. There are not many alive today that would be able to present such a program. That said, such a program that honestly dealt with the balances that need to be kept in the countryside today could do nothing but good IMHO. Edited to add: Nothing like the countryfile program I said an honest view. TC Edited August 19, 2016 by Tiercel 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
