Boy oh boy it's 2023 and we have truly lost our way . If only there was a time machine i know which way i would go .

Eye watering reminiscences.

Fantastic bit of classic TV, it’s a shame we don’t see proper programs made like this today!! Also very good country programs from yesteryear to watch are Jack’s Game and Out of Town/Old Country!! 👍🏻

Hello from Ireland...what a lovely clip from the old days..it's heart breaking to see what has become of us in 2024

[@andyash5675]

It's not all bad, I know for a fact they still go out like that in wintery Sussex. That film is quite far from being the past, it's the present too.

[@themayalls5594]

What year was this filmed please?

[@jamestheposh]

1985

[@thesolitarycyclist9005]

Unintentional irony of the gamekeeper condemning the fox killing the birds, followed by images of incessant killing by the sportsmen.

[@jamestheposh]

Seems deliberately edited to accentuate death by overlaying shooting sounds over the images of deceased poultry.

[@nickjung7394]

​@@jamestheposhI suppose they could have shown the birds having their necks wrung!
