lurchers 2,881 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 I think these are repeats but nice watch either way,I used to like watching that kill it cook it eat it just to show the tree huggers how to live properly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eastcoast 4,199 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Still like to see him and his missus on TV. Both seem grounded and genuinely nice people. And more importantly genuinely funny. Are rarity among comedians these days eg Lenny Henry and his ex missus. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 47,691 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 I have seen a couple of them and thought they were good. Sounds nerdy as f**k but another one I found very enjoyable was Portillo’s Great Railway Journeys Across Britain (or something like that)…..it’s mega ! Watch them, enjoy, try and visit some of these places before they build over every last f***ing inch. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

low plains drifter 10,740 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 I've seen that one, was a good few year ago now, think the eel trapper was the last of the trappers down Cambridge fens, had his little shop selling his purse nets, traps etc, but had to give it up because of the massive decline in eel numbers, cannot remember who the presenter was, but there was another one where they were down the fens on a narrow boat, and they pulled up and netted a hare 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) I just happen to have seen that eel trapping guy on the chube, quite recently. Just one of those random things that pops up in Suggestions, for no discernable reason. Knew he was the last of the line. But, fukking shame to hear he had to jack because the eels are fukked.

Here's a couple of short films about him. That's him. It was the second of those films I saw I know a Steve Carter, from Norfolk. Probably a relative of that guy. Probably a very close relative, if you catch my drift? Norfolk ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
