patterdale 672 Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Here's a shot in the dark? There was a TV series from mid 90's that I remember recording on video tape(VHS). It was about 6 episodes in total?? Every episode was about different countryside jobs,Gamekeeper, ghillie etc... I remember the episode about the ghillie job was filmed on the Wye,reason being they were out at night to catch poachers and on the land behind there was someone lamping,and this was one of my permissions. Can anyone recollect the name of the series? My video tape has long long gone!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BGA 117 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) I think I know what you mean. I remember an episode with a bloke drey poking. Was it something like the countryman? I just googled that and all I got was Clarissa and the countryman. That's not it. Edited December 7, 2019 by BGA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meece 1,957 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) There was a series featuring Jack Charlton back when. He went deer stalking with Richard Prior, pigeon decoying with Archie Coates, stag in the highlands, wildfowling, hare, rough shooting, grouse, there were all sorts. they can still be watched on YouTube. Link ..... old but still a good viewing? another vhs vid from back when was the warrener. He controlled Fox in the west country. I used to chuckle at the ole boy...... link ..... this vid just squealed my spaniel in to the back of my pad that I was using to search ......
