I have got the video of this. It was part of a series called "Jack's Game". It was a series of films covering all aspects of country sports, pheasant shooting, wildfowling, pigeon shooting and foxhunting, I ave probably forgotten some tittles. I think it was filmed sometime in the eighties. And I do remember the original ITV series.

That brings back some memorys for me, it was 1982 and 2 decent gents, Ken griifits and Jim Walsh. I remember when it first came on the tv, i was waiting all day for it and recorded the program with a video recorder, the old betamax tapes that i had as a lad back then.. :)

I believe ken, has died now, not sure about the other chap, Jim walsh.

The whole series was called 'Jacks Game'.

Them were the days, sadly missed.. :(

Dont know where in yorkshire they were from, the first time i seen the documentry, was back then in 82, on tv and watched it 100's of times after, on video... :)

I was into ferreting big time then and still am, not as much as i was, as more into the running dogs these days.

Great to see again and have now added it to my favorites.

I think you could still buy the Jacks Games videos up untill recently. Back then it was great for fieldsport to see a respected celebrity doing this series but if I remember correctly there was uproar from the Anti scum when a second one had to be put into a stag that he shot.

He didn't do foxhunting as he couldn't ride but he did do beagling and minkhunting.

There was a book on the series too.

 

Just out of interest? Any one remember Out Of Town with Jack Hargreaves on a Saturday morning?

He did a show on 2 lads bolting rabbits to 2 whippet/terrier crosses with ferrets.

I remember it well.
