Product Description

Jack Hargreaves presents this series of expeditions through the idyllic English countryside, exploring the nature of country life, the importance and variety of rural economies, and age-old country skills such as apple-grafting, sheep-shearing and angling.

Product Description

Jack Hargreaves, the popular countryman and TV figure, presents 3 episodes of his long-running Tv show, Out of Town. Episode 1; APPLEBY FAIR / RAMMING TIME. Once a year on the Wednesday after Derby Day the gypsies meet on Gallows Hill in Appleby and celebrate the animals given to them by nature. Episide 2; NEW FOREST POINT-TO-POINT / APPLE GRAFTING. See how point-to-point racing really got it's name. Nobody knows the course until they assemble in the early hours, and you go by your own route as long as you make the finish line. Episode 3; KINGFISHERS / MODEL CARTS. When the great flood drowned out the kingfishers' burrows the countryman dug them out and reared them in safety. He had to teach them to fish.

4.0 out of 5 stars Putting the clock back 25 Oct 2006
By M. Wren
Format:DVD
Lots of people remember Jack Hargreaves not only for this programme but also for his appearance with Fred Dineage and others on the childrens TV show "How?".
This first DVD includes a travellers meeting at Brockenhurst and the trade in piebald ponies which are individually recognizable with their unique markings which discourage theft.
These DVDs will appeal to people who believe we should keep some of the old crafts alive sharing information and techniques across generations and to anyone who likes all things natural and enjoys watching the series "Country Ways", for example.
There are 3 episodes on each DVD. This is Vol 1, and after you watch it, you'll have to get the others as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Legend 27 July 2006
Format:DVD
I grew up watching Jack with my dad and this series brings back great memories. If you are at all interested in the countryside then buy this. His manner in presenting is gentle and factual. His knoweledge is vast and his pipe is always present.

God bless Jack.
