Dazmac 39 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Out of Town is being repeated on Talking Pictures (ch 82 Freeview) from next Monday 6.30pm then every Monday afterwards. I've seen a few of you mention this show before so I thought I'd put this up for those who'd like to see it again. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

littlefish 549 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I can hear the music now........my mum, inner Belfast city bred, used to encourage me to watch it as a kid in the 70's, followed by Survival......often depicting birth, life and death in the wilds of Africa etc. Everything in the house stopped for Life on Earth, the original series........David Attenborough was the man of the moment........fabulous memories! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The chap that masterminded the Survival programmes was Colin Willock, a friend of Jack Hargreaves . Both were pretty influential in the TV business and had the wherewithal to make programs involving their own interests. I met Colin Willock on a pheasant shoot ,an absolute Gentleman . Between them they built a wildfowling punt and made a programme and wrote a book about its creation . What a great way of life it must've been for them ; TV executive jobs probably army pensions and being paid to film your own hobbies . With Old Jack finding time to get a reputation as a bit of a womaniser as well. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw him as a kid,must have had something to do with the wildfowl trust as I distinctly remember seeing him at WWT doing a talk along with a few others.He wrote a book on Kenzie Thorpe,I had a copy but gave it to someone on here (can’t remember who),and yup he had a weekly page in Shooting Times. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
