A stark testament to how Mankind’s “ progress “ is really regression and evil. I am half British. My Dad and his family are from the UK. We traveled over many times to witness the beauty and proper ways that traditional British people lived. Immigration is a curse. It has destroyed the UK and is destroying the United States. May God Almighty restore our Nations to their former glory. A glory in which God Himself allowed us. Islam is a Demonic plague that has infiltrated our Nations needs to be purged and removed from our Countries. They are blots and blemishes. Lost Souls who do not know the Truth. God help them as well.

One can't help but love a programme that was pretty much aimed at the childrens' hour where an old fella made alcohol and smoked tobacco! Jack Hargreaves is a legend!

At that stage it just apple juice, give it a few weeks to ferment then you can call it cider

This makes me thirsty 🍺

Thanks for posting a real charm. Quite painful to watch really how much we have gone in the wrong direction.

Gentle Jack Hargreaves. You taught me so much when I was little. I'm his age now?

So sad to lose this life style

What a fantastic old tradition. I like the way they insist on tasting a lot of different cider so as not to offend anyone!!!😂…….Also. I always thought you put sugar in cider. Am I wrong?

Good times Roger Wilkins cider Somerset good stuff proper job

Mr Roger Wilkins,,, THE BEST CIDER in SOMERSET!!

Do they make more than they drink on the day 😂

Had my first taste (and got pissed on it) at age 11. Denings of Higher Farm, Up Mudford, Near Yeovil, Somerset. Had their own mini Cider Factory on the farm. A Pitcher was always put out in the field when we were haymaking so that workers could help themselves. I would work there during school holidays and would be responsible for shovelling the apples into the slicer upstairs.

I have stayed with a cider farm's owners for the last 2 years in the New Forest. I first came across the husband in the late 1990's at Barleylands steam fayre. They get a local butcher to make sausages with their cider. Best I have tasted.

I wonder if this was filmed in East Boldre? If not, i wonder where?

River Cottage did an episode on these...and then a follow up.

In the late 1960's as a teenager worked for a old German farmer in up state New Jersey (U S A ) and at sunset we'd race to the barn for a glass 🤣

Just like a pressing day at Tardebigge Cider in Bromsgrove.

The Yeomanry march.

This was filmed in the New Forest so would be Hampshire and was the traditional way most country working people made their cider. It would have been filmed in the 60s. All of Jack Hargreaves programmes were interesting and informative. I have all the available programmes he made in the "Out Of Town" and "Old Country" series.

I guess the straw was/is used to hold all the slippery bits of apple together in one mass during pressing rather than them being squeezed out sideways? Would also provide channels for the juice to get to the edges. Similiar function to leaving the stems in with bunches in a grape press for wine

Jack Hargreaves, God bless him. I loved watching his programmes when I was a kid. He brought the countryside to the city for us.

This knowledge is absolutely priceless rip jack .

Old lads looked like there comatosed mine you I would be drinking the powerful cider

Makes me wonder how they kept their cider long term. Couldn't have just had a barrel they poured it off when needed, surely - the rest of the barrel would be off within a month or two....

Oh wow I’m not far from Shave Cross, it’s a small hamlet and I wonder which farm this is today hmmmmm

Did they wash the hessian sacks after the season was over?

I remember these so well, the whole family would sit down to watch Jack, great old days,,,,tv could learn so much from these.

seen cider making at country shows in France

Olde country man he went to private school with stables for his horses ...nonsense countryman. Snobby old git.

cor, right looks like some slipped somethin pretty heavy into the barrel there drinking there

Marvellous program , Jack Hargreaves was a voice of the ways to survive and feed the country . That cider would have been tasty , I travelled around the west of the country over the years from Poole to the Welsh borders and I helped out at a few cider presses if a hand was needed and I've tasted the best cider out of a wooden barrel and I've not tasted the like for a while . Great video 👍🇬🇧

remember watching this like it was yesterday. Got to be 50 years ago?

Excellent,seems like a repeat of a glut of apples this year like in 1977

This is very similar to how dabs are made.

So is that freshly pressed apple juice those guys keep necking or is it cider?

❤ what a lovely brilliant film, thank you 🙏

Do you have any more videos of these guys?

Absolutely excellent and charming video from the Britain I still believe in, this is how Britain should still be. Old traditions, polite characters, and good cider 👌

Thank You for sharing something we are quickly losing in the 21st Century. Rural characters

Thirsty work

I grew up watching Jack. Great memories Thanks for sharing👍

nice comment . .

I want my country back.

Amazing - lets go back to the good old days of 1970 and make some cider! Funnily enough at the time I were helping make the same stuff - not there mind, a bit more to the Western I were!

We make it exactly the same way today in South Warwickshire. Only thing to add: Jack didn't mention for us the machine that pulps the apples is known as a scratter. Oh, and we fold the hessian into 'cheeses' - not biscuits! (and feed the pigs with what's left of it!). Cheers

Have just upgraded to a slightly larger allotment and inherited some apple an pear trees with it .........

Nicely observed. Here's mine from Somerset, if it's of interest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnOThqxqgLytn6c

I’ve had a few pints of their cider in the 80’s. It was enough to blow your head off! 😂. Me and a work colleague was ploughing on the farm ( contractors) and would park up at night ( around 9 or 10 pm) in front of the shed. They invited us in for a drink, before we had to drive back to Puddletown. Great stuff 👍👍

Whether Charlie makes the best cider is a mater that will be decidered …

fabulous video thanks
