England's Mountains Green: a documentary about the South Downs

[@lateseptembersun2987]

This is one of the most fabulous documentaries going. Being a man of Sussex, I've always loved The South Downs and share Peter Owen Jones' passion for it. He is a wonderful presenter, a charismatic individual, and thoroughly decent being: the kind of person that resonates with us all. Long may he live and long may the South Downs National Park flourish!

I couldn't agree more. I feel so lucky to live near the downs. I can't think which pub that is though which is bugging me lol. I know most.

I'm a man of the Sandstone and Clay, but I've spent a lot of time on The Downs over the years. Now introducing my Grandson to them. "Granpa, we're on top of the World".

I was born and bred on the southern slopes of the downs but I now like in Cumbria. I so miss the Downs, this video has reminded me how much I do ! The change of the seasons, the sea to the south, the weald to the north, my idea of heaven.

Really enjoyed this work of art and education combined. It seemed to be honest to its subject and history; fair and balanced without any harsh judgments. Positive and inspirational. 😎

[@sdnpa]

Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it.

Brilliant documentary as usual by a brilliant presenter. The music is too loud though it prevents you from hearingthe words... who edited this?

[@slyfondle1885]

Why have 22 minutes been cut? The original version, as broadcast on BBC4, was 58 minutes long.

[@sdnpa]

Hi. Thanks for asking. This is a condensed version of the longer form film, which is available on DVD from the South Downs Centre in Midhurst.

I like this man's style. Need to get clothes like that

grew up here 1960s hops and cherries and apple trees - 1970s all uprooted and the hedges went - oasthouses were knocked down - eu subsidies barley maize and corn for miles yawn - then gradually the wind blew the soil off - now years on and everyone is putting it back - progress ---- like telegraph road all over ....

"constant grazing" ..... should be "over-grazing resulting in erosion and thus loss of soils...."

"long may it be a haven for all life, human... and natural" ... but haven't we established that we are part of nature?
