An absolute pleasure to relive some of these classic episodes, thankyou. Growing up in a small village in Lincolnshire in the 60's & 70's very few things could keep me indoors, but Jack's shows were one thing i wouldn't miss. Entertaining & educational. Sadly life has changed so much. 👍👍

Just spellbinding.

Thank you Dave What a treat. No script, no autocue. Just a proper communicator. God bless you Jack

Just wondering how could i build this?

I watched Jack as a child in the 70s and 80s sadly missed to see slow country life but they call it progress now sadly.

Me and my dad used to set the poles in two or three days beforehand, so it was easy and quick to hang the net. Also jump up and down to make sure nothing will rattle as you move. We got twice the price for netted rabbits.

This has made me feel extremely hungry. My great grandfather and grandfather were both butchers, I often wish I had carried on the family tradition. Sadly Grandpa died when I was only 12 yrs old, so he never had the proper time to teach me, and get my interest.

Brilliant.

Absolutely fantastic, thank you for uploading these wonderful eposides. I wonder what Jack would of made of the 21st century.

I would have loved to sit in a quiet country pub and have a conversation with Jack... But then I'm a country boy too.

Absolutely a wonderful and gifted man who can never be replaced. I wish he was still with us, but at least we have his DVD's. and his memories which are fantastic.❤

How!

Where was big jims shop, i wonder if its still there?

What an incredible piece of history. Not even that long ago...look at the quality and quantity! Jack was an important part of my youth and got me into fishing...62 now and still love it. Thanks Jack, your a legend for so many!

He wrung their necks ?

God bless jack hargreaves he had a lovely calm quiet way of explaining things to people.. so that you would remember unlike fast talking presenters of today.. I'll continue spreading the word of this channel to All people I know

I remember the episode were Jack went cockling and found a ww2 mine in the water, he took it back to his shed and unfortunately it detonated while he was shopping, took out half the street.

I'm a frequent visitor to India but learned a great deal from this beautiful and sensitive short documentary.

Send this to Keir Starmer. C'mon people who's with me?

In 1968,aged 14 ,i started as a butchers boy,working after school and and holidays,brings back good memories, our pigs were always cut in the shop,we had sawdust on the floor to soak up any residue blood and fat from sawing the pig in half, one thing you dont see now are pigs trotters,we had a big drum full of brine,in it went the trotters as well went ox tails,then they were boiled,the meat from the trotters was very tasty,we also made brawn from the pigs head,we were open until 9 pm on a Friday and 6pm on Saturday,a lot of people even then, didn't have fridges,in the Summer months those two days were our busiest,i was paid 30 shillings (£1,50p)+ a piece of meat,usually a shoulder of lamb,not Welsh lamb(to expensive)but NZ lamb, which we had just started to sell,when i left school in 1969,left on the Thursday started work on the Friday,then i was on £5.00 a week,,😊

Growing up with this was great as he showed the old ways of making things and that it’s not necessary to rush around at 100 mph just to get stuff done,,,, it’ll be done when it’s done and done right first time……

Never been a fan of faggots, my nan loved them and Lambs Fries.

He’s amazing, his enthusiasm for the modern carbon fibre pole was quite compelling to see. Jack had respect and knowledge for tradition, but admired technology too. What a fabulous man.

22:12 Such a beautiful pony.

He is back on Channel 82

It is great that in 2024, thirty years after his death, Mr Hargreaves Out Of Town is being repeated on Talking Pictures (Freeview Channel 82) on Sunday afternoons, repeated on Mondays at 6.30 p.m. Most of the episodes being shown are from 1980/1981 and the film editor is Dave Knowles on most of the episodes. It must have been a very rewarding programme to work on - nothing like it now.

Jack , bless him. Never took his hands out of his pockets ratching at himself ha ha. Dave is there an email I can message you on please? Or can you send via my KZbin? Cheers Alan P s . Was raised on jack Hargreaves.

I’d have loved to see inside the Royal Oak ! 😂

A massive privilege to watch this.

A master of sharing knowledge with a deep love to share

I grew up in the country .....this man was such a mine of information, to a kid loving his life. All that countryside I played in, is now housing estates. 😎☯️🌱 Rest in peace Jack and thank you mate.

Great programme , well presented and much information I wasn't aware of .

Fascinating stuff as always, Dave. Many thanks!

Congratulations on making this masterpiece, Dave! Beautifully explored and filmed. Ultimately I wouldn't sprawl myself and allow the hoove tap my back. The cow is a big heavy animal!

Growing up, I worked on a farm from around 7 to 16 before I left for college etc and other things...anyway on that farm There was a HE-UGE Hereford Bull that I used to feed each day and clean out ( when it was let into another pen). When the farmer came to get the bull out for breeding with the herd, he did the nose rope ring. Over the years bearing in mind my age. I also used to go into the area where the bull was and scrub his back wash him down, generally talk with him. Treat him nice. Anyway. I asked when I was about 14 if I could take him out to the fields. I was told in no certain way that wasn't happening. Bad enough me driving tractors and land rovers around the roads of wales underage. Anyway. When Alan took the Bull... (I called him Emyr) for his latest escapade, instead of me beingat a distance and in his eye sight to one side to block him, as you do ( and as Alan was leading him by the ring)... I moved nearer and actually went in front of Emyr to which caused a shit load of commotion..but I knew...Emyr was not going to harm me. I just knew Alan was still holding the rope high. But Emyr stopped at the gate of the field whilst I opened it. I didn't get behind the gate as I should of. And Emyr let loose of the bull ring rope just casually wandered by. Stupidity or innocence I don't know. But I still think I could of let Emyr out on my own and let him follow me to the field without injury. No idea as how or what this post gives any reason for a reply. But it just brought something back from a few years ago.

Nice footage! What editing app and lenses did you use (DaVinci Resolve?) Did you use the iPhone inbuilt camera or an external cemera app like moment pro? Looks like 25fps footage? Im off to India next week for a 11 week tour and will be attempting to shoot on a budget android Google pixel 6a. Thanks

I don’t think anyone in this video could look more English.

Interesting behaviour by humans this time !! Fascinating to watch great film my friend !!! 👍

Hi Dave, very interesting and well presented. I must admit I'd be worried have such large animals running freely!! All the best!!

I love them old fly trap jobbie where the old bluebottles go like buzz buzz buzz CRACK and what you get? Tiny, tiny bits of exploded bluebottle sprayed all over everything, innit?! Mind you, I don't think it never done nobody no harm actually…

Dig deeper and there are more, more complicated problems. Medicinal drugs are freely available in India and many of the cows are in poor condition which has led people to "dose" cows with dichlofenac - an NSAID (pain-killer). This became so common that many cows died with large doses of the drug circulating within them. Dichlofenac is toxic to vultures and the Indian vulture population has plummeted as a result. There are so few left that the Towers of Silence cannot function. More than that, all of the dead cows and other animals that were cleared away by millions of vultures now feed a mushrooming stray dog population. India is far from free of rabies.............rabies cases in humans are soaring. It is estimated that over 99% of Indian vultures have died due directly or indirectly to dichlofenac poisoning in 40 years. It causes kidney failure in vultures, some species being more susceptable than others.

Dolly Parton once said, "we didn't even know we were poor till some smart aleck up and told us." That was true of a lot of people from my part of Appalachia.

1962 was the last time I went out rabbiting with my father he caught a couple of dozen. Always on Sunday mornings whilst the farmers and landlords were in church. He got to the pub by 12.30 and quickly sold the lot at ten bob a brace. later on I would get my half a crown. It was known as Ferreting or netting in Essex.

Just loved this program when younger, 76 now, what charm, interest and knowledge.

What happened to the other Jack Hargreaves uploads?

They should pop this on Talking Pictures..where Out of Town is showing now

Very instructive - thanks
