Chicken_man 1,651 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 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 ? https://youtu.be/rlOGdWxJQTE 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,415 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Loved Out of Town, 11 o clock on a Saturday morning. No picture post card images of the countryside with Jack, he talked of the countryside as a working landscape. Who can tell me the other series he done ? How! LOL, I only had the question asked when I thought of the scientific show "How" that J.H. was on, it was a great show. The one I meant was "Old Country." 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never heard or seen of this but it seems like my tyoe of program....u doin a copy fella? it was a brilliant program.....basically, this older bloke (Jack Hargreaves) sits in his shed smoking his pipe, talking about hunting/fishing, and shows footage of it, and amongst other things....it's a good watch.

Neal 1,783 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) The episode I remember best was one with kingfishers in. If I remember correctly somebody was trying to raise one; either as a pet or because they'd found it injured. Jack Hargreaves died on my 25th birthday and I just can't imagine anybody doing anything similar nowadays without it being either sanitised or condescending. For a while we had a good series down here in Hampshire called Countryways which was presented by Jim Flegg or Clegg and Jill Somethingorother. I've just googled it to find their names but couldn't...but I did find out that it started in 1984. It was a lovely mix of features similar to those in Out of Town with beautiful classical music. I think it finished about ten years ago and one of the last episodes I remember was with a gamekeeper with a bull x greyhound. Did other regions have their own versions of Countryways?
