George Dunton - 100 Year Old Fisherman

An old episode of Out of Town from 1981 featuring my Great Grandad, George Dunton, fishing in Dorset at the age of 100.

Why on earth would anyone bother to click on 'dislike' for this lovely film? There are some odd people out there.

No carbon carp rods , buzzers , bivvies or stacks of beer cans ..

I watched Out of Town when I was a kid (nearly 50 now). Jack had the unique ability to utterly capture my attention in the most peaceful , relaxed and compelling way. I could have listened to him for hours. Thanks ror this.

[@Fazbats1]

How can you get ANYBODY to give this a thumbs down? Out of town was compulsive watching when I was a kid. And its great to see someone at 100 yr old still fishing . Good on ya Mr Dunton

[@Hengelguides]

Tight lines. Where ever you may be Mr Dunton.

[@That_Random_Bloke]

He played football for England, batted with Jack Hobbs and bowled against W.G Grace??? What a life!!!

[@bobbysilver272]

Well done Mr Dunton for a life well lived. (I hate to think what he would think about how far England has sunk into multiculturalism and other social decays).

[@goinblinddoggone]

Wow! His generation had more tolerance than yours thank goodness! Also, he didn't die until the 1980s, so he was fully conversant with multiculturalism in Britain.

Hi I am so glad you shared this as your great grandad was with my own grandad William brewer (bill) and the younger man who had to hang on to his belt at one point so he did not fall in is my dad Barry. I remember seeing this on TV when it was first shown trying to work out how my dad who was in the room got on the TV. Oh I should add the lakes are a tad more than a stones throw from where I grew up and I've great memories of wandering round feeding fish and seeing the fishermen. Thank you again I've sent the link for my dad to be able to watch x best wishes lindsay

[@mrandrewhuffer]

Interesting about W G Grace, "you don't appeal against the Doctor if you want to be invited again", erm, that's not cricket is it now???

[@jacksugden8190]

Jack has nothing to say, nothing much to offer in this clip, just a point of view to fill up his programme with a 100 year old, and now Jack’s also dead.

[@Formula1Madx]

@Jack Sugden Thanks for that comment, you've brought a beautiful ray of sunshine into my life ☀️
