Foxgun Tom 75 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) I have both books which accompaneid the two relevant TV serie's Eg; "CLARISSA and THE COUNTRYMAN" "CLARISSA and THE COUNTRYMAN sally forth" Both series were commisioned and aired by BBC2! Having been in Clarrie's company a number of times, I can confirm that what you see! is what you get! she's a wonderful character and a brilliant raconteur, Both copies of my books have signed with great personal messages to me from the lady herself, In Clarrisa and the Countryman she wrote "To Tom, keep hunting and Bollocks to Blair, see you on the ramparts" and in the second volume "To Tom, Keep faith and see you on the barricades" For many years she was a regular vistor to The Waterloo Cup and a Coursing dog owner, she did face a charge of illegel coursing and I think the case continues??? The picture in my signature was taken at the Liberty and Liveliehood March at Hyde Park, London, She's a great lady and very much a supporter of country pursuits, working dogs and their owners Tom Edited July 26, 2008 by Foxgun Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FJager 0 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 We recently had a British programme here on our lifestyle channel called 'The Wild Gourmets', I guess most of you are probably aware of it, I found it brilliant, plenty of sport showed on the television.

Neal 1,819 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 They also did a "Game Cook Book, " which, if I remember correctly had a close up of a pheasant wing on the cover. As has been said above; I'd recommend her autobiography. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
