Lamper121 239 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Did anyone see him at the Northern Shooting Show? He's an interesting bloke. I stopped to talk to him at the BASC stand and he was a real laugh, telling stories about doing that Clarissa and the Countryman series and about Clarissa beating up the BBC execs to pressure them to show all the hunting scenes. He even said that Clarissa knew that doing that series would effectively end her career with the BBC as it was. God bless her fat soul! 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shovel leaner 7,648 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I met him and Clarissa at a game fair years ago , stopped and had a natter . I couldn’t help but feel that they were a bit miffed that I didn’t buy their book that they were signing and selling. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
